    *FAQs*
    1) When is it -27°C? 57:48
    2) Riddle answers: 1:17:19
    3) Knee injury - saw a doc, getting scans, doing exercises, and ordered backcountry skis. Been wanting to try them for a while and snowshoes really trigger my knee so it's worth a shot.

    My Dad and I would go to Canada, to fish, all through my high school years. Our last trip was when I was 27 y/o. He died that September. I haven't been back, camping or fishing, since. I read a lot and I think you would enjoy Robert Frost...if you don't already. I share your love of solace, of nature. I began watching you and vicariously I am there. Seeing the stars, the aurora borealis. Feeling the world slow down and for a brief time, my Dad and I are back together. Thanks. Your videos make an older guy feel younger. You're a good man. God bless.

    Jon, hands down your BEST video to date. This video really demonstrated not only your physical toughness and well rounded skill set, but also your mental fitness. Not many people realize the determination required to camp out in deep freezing temps, the actually work involved, and the mental gymnastics that are constantly challenging. Not to mention the editing, drone footage, and music score. You did such a terrific job that several times throughout this video I felt you, your pain, and your struggle. Incidentally, this is your only video that I've watched twice back to back, that's how amazing I thought this was. In fact, I choked up near the end..that was raw, brother. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you're on the mend sooner than later. In the meantime, keep your stick on the ice and safe travels, Jon.

    Your videos are like an ASMR experience in their calming sensory sounds and sights. Crunching snow, cracking logs, trickling water, howling wind, horizontal snow, you are an artist at capturing the chilly solitude. The editing is perfect in its pacing. So much demanding work goes in on your part to trekking and camping but we get the delights of the finished product and are drawn into your love of nature. My partner got 3/4 of your riddles easily! The beauty of nature is magnified in winter, I think, because the landscape is stripped to an elemental simplicity. a black(ish) and white pallette with brightly coloured lichen crusted rocks or orangey tannin waterfalls that jump out at you for relief. I love the same components of a wild windswept seashore. Sand, sea and sky. SW Ontario is pretty boring at this time of year especially with such a mild winter, so its a joy to see the sparkle of snow and hear the redpolls again.

    My brother passed away in 2007 in his sleep, he was only 47 years old. He was a Poet. What I find remarkable is how much you resemble him. I wish that I could send you a photo of him. When I subscribed to your channel a few months ago and viewed my first video, I said that you were more than a film maker, you were a Poet. This video here just further confirms that. And even if the word 'beautiful' is used a thousand times, it beautifully describes what I see and feel when I watch your videos. Thank you. ❤️

    Jon you've really elevated the cinematography aspect of these videos in the last year. I always look forward to your winter camping videos during the warmer months but I think this one is definitively the best yet. The drone shots of course but the closeup shots and your appreciation for the beauty of mundane scenes really takes the channel beyond most camping/lifestyle content. I really appreciated your frank discussion at the end, and the poem got to me as it got to you. But, I think more impressively, the simple shots of the spectacular beauty of just snow on the ground starting at 1:02:50 also moved me. I hope you continue loving and sharing these adventures with us for years to come.

    John, having gone through some challenging health issues recently, I found that you and Xander's videos have been calming, inspiring, humorous, informative, and beautiful. They have been crucial in getting me through some scary nights where anxiety has taken over and played tricks on my brain and body. The end of this video was one of the only times where I've seen you as anything other than a wood splitting, canoe paddling, fish releasing machine. We are acutely aware that you do these trips for yourself, but the videos for us...and we are extremely grateful.

    I was really tired and needed some sleep last night. I like to pick out videos with winter scenery because it relaxes me and I fall asleep. I have never watched any of your videos before. Needless to say I stayed up almost all night after watching this video. I thought this guy is kind of weird letting his wife go home and him staying out there alone. I kept watching and realized how brave one would have to be to walk across that frozen ice alone. The work it takes to stay warm in that climate. I also felt like I was there with you enjoying all that beauty. The video has inspired me. I hate to admit, I shed a tear also at the end.

My body has long since given up the ability, but my spirit and my mind cling to every moment of them, like the images and sounds are life itself. Deep appreciation and gratitude to you, Jon. And also to Erin.

    Hi Jon and Erin. What an amazing trip in such extremely cold weather. Hard to imagine how things survive in that environment, as you said. So many moments of laughing, contemplating about life, nature, your sense of humor. I got three out of four (apologies, not a fisherman). So much to comment on but I'll just say "Beautiful". Thanks. Be safe and well.

    Being a Michigan resident i love the looks of winter, however, im no longer a huge winter weather fan at 44 years old i have out grown the cold. Maybe thats because i have forgot how to enjoy it instead of traveling for basic responsibility, i.e. work and daily errands. This has inspired me to maybe prep over the summer to get out and enjoy our winter here in the Michigan outdoors. Thanks once again for your amazing videography.

    I am from Germany, coming from the Ruhrpott (highest population density) and these videos just cure my overload of crowded cities

    Another classic Lost Lakes film. Jon, I must commend you on your orderly camp. Perfectly stacked woodpile, cutting tools, sled, snowshoes and ice auger at the ready. IMO this is an excellent instructional video on how to winter camp but it is more than that. Your personal reflections on nature and wilderness feeds the imagination. Well done!!

    Hey there, I only found your channel last week - been absolutely loving it. Especially the hot tent videos! I probably like them so much because it’s a foreign concept to me, a Mississippi boy. I love my fishing, hunting, and camping but it’s nothing like what you go through in the winter no matter what time of year it is here.
    Not only are the videos themselves enjoyable but the way you craft them as a whole - coupled with your personality - feels like a genuine piece of art/self expression. Your love for Tolkien, which I share, only makes it better! Your taste in ambient music is fantastic. Your demeanor is calming. I can’t speak more highly of what you’re doing. Keep it up, stay safe, and rest that knee up!

    This video is very well done, capturing winter camping from all aspects…freezing temps, hot tent, fishing, hiking, panoramic drone shots, night stars, riddles, and the summary at the end which topped it off. I watched the whole video and it’s like your there, I’m not sure about that -20 degree tenting for me but the production level here is really good. Hopefully one day I can experience this type of adventure, but for now lost lakes is really close. Thanks again

    So my wife said to me, "We need to do more as a family". She's a city gal, I'm a country boy so meeting in the middle has been challenging. Well it turns out that my wife loves to go canoeing! Your videos have inspired me to buy enough canoes for the family and head off on some trips this spring. I've even bought a food barrel! The inner-peace and information you provide is sooooo needed in this world right now. I wanted to extend a sincere thank you for helping bringing my family together. You're an amazing human being.

    Jon, felt the urge to comment again (sometimes I comment under Spark Adventure Photog). This video stands out. Most of them do (Nipigon, Land Before Time). You are, in my opinion, one of the best UA-cam creators of outdoor adventures. You have an incredible way of capturing the magic. Sometimes subtle (B roll) and some times not (paddling or hiking through epic scenery). I can see how you are constantly improving your filming techniques. It's not just another video to publish, but a work of art. Please keep making these beautiful films/videos. Most others are too lazy to get the shot, and your work is full of them. Thank you. I also really appreciate your vulnerability. Not only is it nice to watch your adventures, but listening to your connection to nature and the why. The WHY. Everyone else is too busy with the how.
