Grueling 8-Day Camping & Fishing Trip through the Boreal Forest (Full Version)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2020
- In 2018, I found a little piece of paradise that needed to be explored further. Fast forward to spring 2019 and Erin and I were getting ready to do just that. Little did we know, the path would be even more brutal than we imagined.
This full version was edited again from scratch. Some parts have been added, some cut, plus the Q&A at the end. There's a lot of bad filming work which nothing can be done for, but at least I can redo the edit...this trip is special to us.

This is a repost of the original three-part series. This full version was edited again from scratch. Some parts have been added, some cut, plus the Q&A at the end. There's a lot of bad filming work which nothing can be done for, but at least I can redo the edit...this trip is special to us.
Love it! also i've been whistling that intro tune for weeks!
At first I was so excited to see a new video. Then disappointed it was just an edit. Then watched it and realized two things. 1) this edit was really well done! 2) you two are some the toughest People ever. That icy start is no joke. I'd be in waders or going home. Lol
All of your videos are extremely knowledgeable and excellent! I very much enjoy watching all of your videos. Your videos are giving me education on the art of backcountry canoe camping and fishing, and I'm hoping to see guided trips, or even courses, from the two of you one day ! A few things I really like from your trip videos is that you are wearing your PFD at all times on the water and the fact that you do not rush, your trips, either portaging, setting up camp, fishing or explaining something to your viewers.
maybe Erin. Sorry if I spelled you name wrong. try cutting the gills and bleed the meat so it's not as fishy for her. Btw guys keep up the great team work and wonderful content 😊
Really appreciate all the kind comments folks!
Am I the only one circling back and watching his older videos?
No you are not the only one 😊
Erin you are my hero! You are so gracious and I hope you see what an inspiration you are to city girls that want to go camping.
In your Q&A at the end you address fishing. You say you are not proud of it . Do not be ashamed of it either . It is human nature . You pinch barbs, you return them quickly. You handle them with wet hands . You eat them sparingly, not wastefully . Take pride in your skill and your ethical treatment of the fish you catch . You are a good example of a responsible angler . Continue to be an ambassador of that .
Greatly appreciated Alan :)
I like pinching barbs as well. It keeps it fun and it makes letting fish off the hook so much easier on both of us. Well said Alan.
You should wear gloves for bushwhacking and the cold weather. Holds the body temperature.
Little did Erin know that after this trip you made up your mind that she was a keeper forever 😍
💚💚
Even after she just sat in the canoe and let Johnathon push her through all the garbage. 😳🫣
I wouldn't beat myself up too much on the camera work. With that scenery you can't go wrong. The most beautiful place in the world is Northern Ontario. Makes me homesick.
Thanks Timothy :) Love it here and as a camper/paddler/angler, I wouldn't live anywhere else
I’ve been with my wife for 22 years, the closest to getting her to go camping is if there is a cabin with a running toilet.......never let that woman go! She is a keeper!!
Hahaha great advice Nick!
oe0e9
you dont know how lucky you are to have a woman like Erin (.mines same way nickxkore if i say camping or kayaking she has 50 reasons why she cant, the best one i have herd is the( hair on my big toe hurts)!!!!
@@wildturkeyb4 the hair in your big toe hahaha, that's ridiculous
You’ve got that right! Someone said how tough he is n deserves Netflix series. Hell, she is half of I or more
Man, I hope people realize how difficult it is to get this footage in these conditions! Spectacular video!
Thanks so much Jordan!
Erin you are the champ and undoubtedly star of this expedition
The positive attitude of your gal is outstanding. - I honestly don’t know many women who would endure such a trip - in fact I don’t know many guys who would. LOL Great trip and great vid. I am jealous.
Hahah 100%, she's certainly tougher than I am. Thanks David!
@@LostLakes Getting ready to do a winter trip down the Ausable here in Northern MI - it only freezes close to shore but not right now. I took my bark canoe down it and several trips in MI Uppen Penn - much like you did but not nearly the scenery or isolation as your trips in Ontario. I am a very jealous dude. I travel mostly in my cedar canvas but looking at carbon fiber right now and would truly welcome the break in weight. Thanks for posting your awesome vids - keeps the rest of us fired up to get out there and do it.
I wouldn't. I humped boonies like that back in the day and she wasn't voluntary. I believe I'd fly in to that lake, enjoy a couple extra days on the water, catch my fish, and fly for the bug out as well. I mean... if I'm being honest. LOL well done and hats off to them tho.
Not sure where and how the exhilaration of the experience exceeds the obvious discomfort and hazard? Must be the thrill of living on the edge.
I need some friends willing to go through stuff like this with me
So wonderful right at the beginning when she got slightly burned by the pan that you both could laugh about it. I know to many people that would of been furious and got mad at each other, especially her for getting the burn.That’s true love knowing both of you know it was a accident and did not mean it.
Hahah very true, thanks f11!
I’ve been on two trips like this in my life. The highlights of those trips were in the tents at night dreaming of all the simple pleasures we missed from home, (dry towels, watching the weather from the windows etc) the way Erin continues to look at you with so much love despite you bringing her on such gruelling trips is so pure. You’re such a lucky man. She’s so cute.
I wish there was a word we could use to describe to one another the multitudes of birds singing in such abundance that it seems there is an infinite choir of birdsong extending as far as your mind could ever imagine. Birds in the boreal forest remind me of looking up at the stars on a cloudless moonless night. I'm only half way through, but this is a great trip video!
Thanks Matt! It's blissful...still some birds in winter but not like spring. One of the reasons it's my favourite season
This is just too good to watch just five times. 👍🏿😇
Hahah thank you Kathy!!!
What a great movie, some folks make their videos look like it's all wonderful and easy but a trip like this is tough. Erin is a jewel, its great how you have each others back. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Dave! She sure is :)
I don't usually watch a video this long as I get bored and move on. This one however, I watched and enjoyed every moment of this. Thank you for bringing us along on that spectacular trip and somehow managing to capture so much of it to share. Erin, You are a bad ass and have my utmost respect for endurance on so many levels but the soleless boots take the prize!
Much appreciated BNB!!
You deserve a million more views for all the effort that went into this video. You're both troopers, thanks for taking us along on your journey.
Much appreciated Drew!!
Agreed. Doing this without the video is one thing, but filming it is exponential.
Watching your vlogs means not wasting my time but learning how to survive in a time of Need .
Amen to that !!!!
This is why you don’t want to mess with Canadians in Canada 😂 tougher than nails! John you deserve a Netflix series.
He does??
Hell, his woman is the one ho goes along n helps n puts up with crazy ideas!
HAHAHAHAHA seriously?? THIS is what you consider “tougher than nails” ? LOL
@@Bayou_State_Outdoors You think you could wade through that cold water? lol stick to the Bayou ol'son HAHAHAHA! Seriously!
@@dwainmcbain5263 guaranteed I’ve played in conditions worse than that “cold water”. Underwater even in a 7mm wetsuit is still colder than “wading” through it.
Just because this “Ole Son” is from the bayou state doesn’t mean I’ve never been anywhere else.
@@dwainmcbain5263 but nice try there…seriously :)
Awesome! You two completed a huge journey that most of us can only dream about doing. God be with you!
My god Erin is a trooper.
100%!
Magnificently so! They don't make em like this any more n Australia!!🙁
@@davidtapp3950 some around....check out Boaring Australia...Nat does solo hunts....one minute she's stickin a boar and the next she's got her kid on the hib and blood up to her forearm!
Came to say the same. I'm beyond belief with what's she's done. As much as I'd like to poke holes I can't.
Of all your videos, this one is my favorite! What a journey to go on. Thanks for taking us along. You two are fantastic together. ❤
💚💚
You two handled all the hard parts of this eight day trip very well and still showed us a beautiful time. Thank you for all that you do, I was especially amazed at the large channel that John covered one day when Erin was resting; huge solid rocky beautiful sides. Must of been lots of fun to paddle through this amazing area. Keep posting these beautiful trips. It has encouraged me to start looking at visiting this area on the north end of Lake Superior during the summer of 2022. I will add you to my prayers so you remain safe in all your travels. Regards from South Texas!!!
Very much appreciated Maurice! That was a beautiful paddle in that channel...I'm missing it as I think back on it. It's a stunning drive along the north shore of Superior with many stops along the way. Hope you find a chance to do it :)
Naan is the LAST thing I expected to see 13 minutes into any camping/survival video lol caught me by surprise for sure! AMAZING AMAZING VIDEO!!!! Thank you!!!!
Hahaha I'm a naan addict. Thanks so much Jefques!!!
Beautiful the scene with the guy in the canoe with the steam coming off the lake with the sun in the background with the mountains is HEAVEN. WELL DONE VIDEO
Can't beat a morning like that... Thanks a bunch Chris!!
You two need to win the award for the most determined human beings. Nice job
Too bad you guys were so rushed, the part you were relaxing was so calming to watch and took me there with you. Erin is such a trooper, bruises and bad boot sole and still kept a positive attitude. That was a tough adventure for sure. Great vid, thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot Dave! She sure is, and it really would've been nice to have more time to linger on this one
Erin you're rock solid, no bruises can stop you mate.
This is one of those videos you watch more than once, thanks for sharing your adventures
Appreciate that OML!
You know this trekking in these difficult places is a challenge but with the detailed filming you guys are doing, it makes everything pretty tedious. But we all appreciate the effort. Trek ON!
Thanks a lot Candy! Lots of effort to film but always worth it :)
It's the small things in life I enjoy the most. One example is the unforgettable calls of a pair of loons on the water. Excellent video.
That sound has such a strong association with being relaxed and at peace. Thanks a lot sjtom :)
Erin new boots are in order. I love my Hi Teck boots there are the very best boots I’ve ever had next to my North Face boots I got in Thunder Bay 30 years ago. I use them Year round while living in Schreiber except while on my snowmobile . Then I used my felt lined leather boots with rubber bottoms. There’s nothing like great boots while in the bush . 🇨🇦👍
What an incredible trip! Grueling. And the views though. Those cliffs were so incredible! I hope to be like you both when I grow up as a canoer. Wild places are magical!
My honey and I agree, you're still together after this trip... that bodes well for your relationship. We've been together for 30 years so we have had a few times we've had to slog together. Wishing you both much happiness and many trips. 💜
Thanks Andrea!! It would be hard to find a better litmus test for a relationship!
I’m just finishing up the full version and can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. It’s a part of the world that many people can only dream of. The two of you brought it into our home superbly. Thanks for sharing 🏕🪵🪓
Thanks a million Carl! Really appreciate that :)
Great camera work and a great couple.
Thanks a lot Chris!
13:35 was the moment I giggled and said out loud "poor Erin". Little does she know her shoes will fall apart too. Man, tough woman. Makes me proud for women out there! Great video!
Great content , you are so lucky to live and travel in such beautiful areas with not another soul in sight. I really enjoy all of your videos, you guys make a wonderful couple!
Thanks so much James!
Dang. You guys are inspiring. :-) You got straight-up smacked down, by the elements and the terrain, on this trip. I can imagine that those watching your trips, who have never had the direct experience themselves, might wonder what can possibly be gained in pushing oneself so hard. The answer is something that you two always manage to capture/document, exceedingly well: it's that rush you get when you crest the last rise, of a portage, and you see the first glimpse of a lake that you've never seen before; it's the clouds making room for a little window of blue sky, after days of nothing but heavy slate-grey; it's the warmth of the fire when your travel clothes are soaked through and cold to the touch; it's the feeling of safety you get when you hunker down into your tent (or hammock) for the night. Can we ever truly appreciate those moments without enduring the effort and struggle that comes before?
Thanks again, Erin and Jon, you crazy, awesome badasses. :-)
Spot on...I don't know if there's a more rewarding feeling. You can lie down at night with an aching body, nothing on your mind, and a smile on your face. Thanks so much Joshua!!
Outstanding as always.
Thanks Jamie!
The scene of collecting firewood, catching fish, and cooking gives me a lot of excitement. The whole video is like a scene from a movie. Fighting! From South Korean UA-camr Woongkham.👍👍👍
Thanks Woongkham!!
What a team you guys are amazing!! She pushed through and must have been freeeeeeeezzzzing. Truly inspirational.
❤❤
Thanks for posting. This was one of the most enjoyable videos I have watched since Covid began.
Great filming and storytelling. Very nice couple.
Greatly appreciated Tim!!
Erin was SUCH a trooper in this. These end up being some of the most memorable experiences.. even if they don't exactly as planned.
I watched the 3 parter and was amazed by the trip.. This full length version was even better, kudos to the both of you. Hope to see you both soon on another adventure together.
Thanks so much MrYoko! Always lots more to come :)
You two are adorable I love how you smile at each other :-) eating your videos right up so relaxing informative and refreshing. Thank you ✨
Thanks so much Deven!! 💚
That trip looked crazy man. I wouldn't be able to go through that frozen lake 😨 I'm from Alabama and wouldn't do that. Wife is from Sudbury and I know she wouldn't last through that! Y'all are troopers for sure
Again Erin is a wonderful companion and that is something to be grateful for. One thing I have wondered is why you dont fly fish on these lakes. You get into some beautiful water. Thanks for another great adventure you guys rock!
Thanks again Tom!! Interested to try but ultimately it's one more thing to bring and that's always a tough sell on these trips :)
I wish I still had an adventure partner like you two have!
She's no longer here.
What a beautiful thing to share.
You peeps are BEASTS.
@@dimtso6107 thanks 🙏
This is my first time watching your video. I watched the entire thing. You guys are a great team! So motivating to see you two overcome your obstacles. I really appreciated this video. Such beautiful landscape. I look forward to more of your adventures! Stay safe!
I have always preferred the cold while canoe tripping, the early season brings little to no bugs, cold drinks, and most importantly turns months of day dreaming and planing into reality!
Totally, early paddling is my favourite. The catharsis of months of winter ending, plus once it's done you have a full paddling season to look forward to (unlike fall trips)
Watching city people trekking into the Canadian wilderness is hilarious. You 2 have a lot to learn, but I admire your perseverance. "If you lose it out here, you're in a whole world of hurt." Best of luck.
What's hilarious? Specifically?
@@LostLakes - You guys are prepped like you're going for a 2 hr paddle around the lake, not an 8 day trek into no man's land. It would be a lot more comfortable if you prepped properly. You have no 2nd pair of reliable footwear. No full rain gear. No PLB. (which is a massive no no) I didn't see a spare paddle. (Your fun will come to completely stop once you lose or break one) I may be nit picking, but comfort, safety and security aren't things that just happen. Be safe out there. It matters. 🍁
Overall, fair points
@@LostLakes - I enjoy watching your videos. I'd just hate it if something preventable was to happen. Accidents are unforseen events. Sadly not all terrible things fall under this definition. Be safe. We gotta look after each other out here.
Appreciate that HRM. We do have a PLB now :) This trip was in 2019
Fabulous to see you share this passion! Good life to you two
Thank you Claire!
John you’re one lucky guy to have a girlfriend like that. She’s amazing.🇨🇦👍 Thanks. Great job.
Great job both of you
Agreed. Most lady can't survive there lol
The whole time I was watching the video I was thinking "I wonder if they lose the net on this trip" :-)
Hahahaha that one was the first one I ever watched. I felt the pain thru the screen
Just a selfie stick on this one lol
Should have carried a pickaxe
Great video with great editing. I watched the entire video over a few days from start to finish.
Much appreciated Paddle Girl :)
I thought I was tough! Erin my girl way to
Soldier through it all, although lol your face speaks a thousand words ;) especially through that narrow swamp of a mess. I would have been cursing everything lmao wtg guys ! I guessing that burger was outstanding ! Stay well looking forward to the next vid ❤️
This was amazing! I doubt I could handle what you two went through. Thanks for sharing the full episode.
Thanks a lot Mike!
Thank you for this beautiful video taking me to places that I won’t be able to see 💖
💚💚
I hope you can take a trip that is relaxing and fun. I love the cold and could live in Siberia but still need a sunny holiday!!! Love your videos!!!
Sunshine really helps make your day much nicer.
Wasn’t sure how it was gonna go after you branded Erin with the fry pan. As usual excellent, well done.
A journey of trials and tribulations.
I was thinking as you slogged the marsh “We mustn’t look in the lights Master.”
LOL we've definitely made that reference out there. Thanks David!!
I really like that you set a good example of wearing your life jacket whenever you are in your canoe. Not everyone does
Thanks Nick :) I wasn't always the best about that, but I learned eventually
Ll
It's the smartest thing to do when you're way out in the bush without much means in the way of help. Flipping your canoe out there is no joke. You learn a few things quickly. First is to tie everything in securely. Second is to use your safety equipment responsibly. As well as having a really good base in advanced first aid doesn't hurt. You never know, it could end up being someone else in trouble, or it could be you.
Was struck by your arrival at the lake so remote that it is nameless. Just incredible.
With 250,000 lakes in Ontario alone, a lot of them don't even have a name...it's awesome :)
Great video...liked the q and a at the end. Thank you and may I wish you happy trails ahead!
Thanks a lot Timothy!
I'm watching you guys again because it's hilarious and it's so much fun to watch these two together
The wife and I just watched the episodes....... we will watch again!!!!
Also a bit of advice....... if your significant other looks at you the way these two do!! Lock them down!!!!
Hahaha thanks for enduring it with us....twice!
Great video, super photography and good job editing. Lots of work. You two make a super team.
Very well done.
Very much appreciated J bird!
Hey guys! Love your videos!! I grew up in marathon and Ice fished Boyer many times growing up. I guess we weren’t brave enough to go in the summer lol!! The terrain is killer! Great video and keep up the good work!
Much appreciated!!! Hahah yeah it's funny how easy this would seem with a sled when it's all frozen solid. Beautiful lakes. Ever get into fish in Nellie (with the cliffs, between Seeley and Lacobeer)? I have had no success there in my two visits (spring and summer). Wondering if it was fished out
Definitely way way easier. I haven’t attempted it in the summer but would love too. When I seen and heard where you were going it brought back some great memories of all the hugggeee hills. You guys are crazy(in an awesome way of course). I remember fishing Nellie once with no luck. We did well on Boyer and sometimes North skipper! We usually waited until late in the year though because we had to break trail. Didn’t want to fish it out or everyone else to fish it out. You know how it goes.
Have you explored the steel river at all? Or any lakes up dead horse road?
@@Outdoorkrb yeppers, Steel is probably my favorite river. Did the loop, then the river, then this year the south end to the lake. Been to up few up deadhorse too
That’s amazing. Love that river also. I’ve done rainbow fishing at the mouth of the steel and superior. And also been up dead horse road and went into the steel there too. Amazing fishing! One day I hope to make it back. Maybe do some filming like you guys also. Keep the videos coming looking forward to the next! Who knows, might run into each other one day!!
What a great trip! I sure enjoy watching you two on canoe trips.
Thank you Larry!!
If it’s true that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger then you’ve both achieved superhero status.
Hahah Erin's a superhero that's for sure :)
I love the look of those paddles. They gleam with nostalgia. I picked one up in a store one time and it just felt so natural. Like a hockey stick that you know was made just for you.
It's a beautiful thing, a nice paddle 🙂
Nice new net, or is that the old one before the " float test " 😆 ? ...
Great adventure beautiful young couple .
Hahah old, old, old net at this point... Thanks PB!!
"really hold on....."
Erin: hold my beer!
I just recently started watching your videos I’m so impressed your narrations, and sounds bring the nature right to your soul keep it up I’m a fan! and also a Northern Ontario
Another great video! You guys are far more adventurous than I am. I do paddle in chest waders most of the time, and I can tell you from experience that taking an unexpected swim in modern light weight waders isn't a problem. In fact with my life jacket properly cinched up over them I've been dumped, self rescued, dragged my boat to shore and only gotten my shirt wet. I see NRS is even selling "Paddling bibs" now that are just waders with a wide neoprene belt. Think of them as a 3/4 dry suit. I think the horror stories of waders full of water pulling you down must have come from the old baggy rubberized canvas waders. That said, at the end of the day we look forward to stripping off our waders almost as much as you do drying out. So whatever works for you!
Thanks Phil! Good to know! I guess it's just a comfort issue then, at least with my waders. No waaaay would I wanna be in them all day for travel like this lol. But I think dry suits are in our future...just wish we could try them on in person before dropping that dough but there's nowhere around here
@@LostLakes choose your poison. cold and wet, or hot and sweaty. I should mention that I use goretex waders with sock feet. huge improvement over the old neoprene booted waders, but still nice to strip out of them at the end of the day.
What a fantastic trip and excellent scenery
Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏
Thanks a lot Dean!
Erin is a real 💪trooper.. thank you for all the views.. Blessings to the both of you 💯.
She sure is :) Thanks a lot Surendra!
Outstanding video, amazing adventure and the amount of effort and energy you both put into this journey and producing/documenting/planning would have been tremendous, thank you. Oh Canada!
Thanks so much Ken!!
The start was of this trip alone would have been enough to dissuade most people from continuing. There’s nothing like standing in ice water up to your hips. Can’t believe you guys forged on ahead through all of that! Thanks for the video!
I really enjoyed watching this one! Great to see all the teamwork working trough the many hardships and then still being able to laugh and joke around at camp. And man what an incredible area! Just amazing!
This video puts the "F" in FUN lol! I salute you two!
Hahah thanks shugardad!
Awesome slog! You guys are beasts! Thanks for letting us tag along!
🤠🤠 Thanks for joining ItWtB!
My hubby has been watching your videos for a couple of months. We turned this one on to watch together a couple of weeks ago. It was my first Lost Lakes video and I was completely hooked. Now we sit down almost every evening together and watch your adventures. They remind us of our own adventures many years ago and have us discussing the possibility of purchasing a canoe again. But, in the meantime, thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through your adventures. We love seeing where you and Erin will end up next.
Aw thanks so much Cherie! We really appreciate you two joining us 💚
I have to congratulate both of you because you are tougher than nails! You will always remember that trip it will be a bittersweet.
Thanks DS! Great memories forever, since they're captured for us here
Thanks for this, it’s gonna be a long winter and I’ll take all I can get of you guys.❤️
Thanks Bob!!
I know I've made this comment already, but you'll just have to bear with me:
If this is the stuff all Canadian girls/ladies/women are made of, I'm on the first plane to Canada after this covid-19 plague is over!
Love your videos, and your attitude to life and nature. (You'll have to bear with my English too, it's definitely a little rusty. But it will improve as soon as my plane arrives in Canada :-))
Greetings from Norway!
Hahaha Erin's one of a kind I'm afraid, but there might be some close matches 😜 Thanks a lot BA! 🍻
Me? I'll go to Canada by swimming 😃 ( from Algeria ).
Gotta love Canada 👍😁🇨🇦
absolutely fascinating trip. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks so much John!
What a awesome trip . Thanks for sharing.
We really enjoyed watching your video, I never did something like this, I just appreciate get to the forest taking a little ride, but I found really nice images and I tel you I suffered for you! Big thanks for sharing! Sebastien and Marie-Josée from southern Quebec
Much appreciated Sebastien and Marie-Josée!!
Great trip. Great video. Great people. Great skills. Great food. Strong driven. Keep up the awsome videos.
Very much appreciated!
Great video! Reminded me of a backpacking trip in Wyoming back in the 1970's.....Invited my childhood buddy and his wife on a 10 day backpack in the Wind River Range. He decided to purchase a pair of used military boots....I tried to recommend a quality pair of hiking boots with Vibram soles that are attached with screws....He ignored my effort and one of his heels dropped off on the second day out....Lol......and she couldn't hike and chew gum at the same time! They were miserable most of the trip....It pays to research and use quality gear....
Hahah! So true, experience and skills make a huge difference but without the right gear most of us are pretty helpless out there
Another great video. Really enjoyed it. Who are these people putting a thumbs down? Thank you!
Hahah thanks a lot ST!!
WOW!! What a killer, brutal, awesome trip!! Erin's legs took a beatin!! So what what do fiddle heads taste like? Good job Erin for trying the fish. Colleen is the same way. Not a fish fan, but will try it at least once a year. Lol. Great job on the filming!! Cheers!! 🍻 🇺🇲🇨🇦
Thanks Jonny!! Closest comparison I can think of is asparagus...these ones were nice but I've had much better. Not sure why exactly. Cheers J&C, Merry Christmas! 🍻
I believe it takes almost a 1/4 of a mile for loons to take off and fly, due to their large heavy bones. Maybe you witnessed them attempting to take off and fly!
Great teamwork, planning, execution and corrections. This enhances your security and pleasure. 👍🏿🙃
Much appreciated Kathy!
Awesome adventure you two. Thanks for sharing.
Carry a tube of Shoegoo. And a Garmin Inreach so you can send message to family that your running late
Good call! Since got a ResQLink PLB. No subscription fee and just an SOS button. But man the InReach would be handy sometimes
Yeah I'll say it again she is a bad ass.wow the pain she goes through,just amazing
Beavers are a blessing and a curse. They can make a nice pond or lake but also choke off flow to a creek or channel. Then opportunistic plants further impede what used to be a stream. Those tough slogs in bogs showed up as navigable water on your map. Indeed they were at one time before beaver dams dried them out. You didn't let that or the ice or the lack of trails stop you. Erin gets bonus boot points. Thank you for sharing this and showing us all what perseverance and adaptive thinking can achieve.
Much appreciated Glenn :)
I discovered these videos a couple months ago. I downloaded a bunch to bring up with me to a remote cabin I built up the in Thousand Islands area. I love Canada. My folks had a cottage back in late 60's built in Ontario on Farren Lake. Beautiful. What I really enjoy about these videos is neither John or Erin act like experts. They have a lot of good information. Mistakes are made which they talk about, but never an attitude. Just a couple of nice folks with good knowledge out in the wilderness. I watched a guy whos youtube page is "The Lone Wolf". Looked good at first but then I got sooo tired of his attitude and arrogance. So Lost Lakes is such a great change.
Truly appreciate that Jim---thank you!!
