14 Days / 4 Trips in the Hot Tent | -35° and Deep Snow (FULL) 

Sitting here with absolutely nothing to do since my semester ended. Nothing on Hulu, Netflix, or whatever else. Head to RU-vid for the 100th time praying to find fulfillment, and Lost Lakes has posted a new video 11 minutes ago 🙏 and I'm only 4 beers deep

You and your wonderful wife really know how to bring in the new year. No black flies!!

off the bottle - PUNK is REALLY NOT DEAD!!!! you two are just G O R G E O U S !!!!

Yay! Watching this with my Lost Lakes hoodie and a microbrewed beer!

I LOVE TO SEE WHEN COUPLES GO OUT CAMPING TOGETHER

cribbage a great card game. Learned to play with my dad around age 7 or 8, now still play with my sons, 50 years later. Great video, thank you.

I love the close up frosting of Erin's hair at 27:41

It's awesome to do something of that magnitude. Especially with someone special!

The youth you 2 have, the free spirit you 2 have and the love you 2 share, amazing! We also have had an amazing and continue to have fun, adventure and love for 49 1/2 years. 🌸🌸🌸

You're guys relationship is a wonderful thing to witness. You are true soul mates.

Happy New Year to everyone who subscribed to this channel. May 2022 bring you all that you desire. Peace and Love

Yay, my favourite elves out in the snowy forest. Bledhyn Noweth Da, me kowetha Kanadianesow. ...and no it's not Rohanian :) 'Happy New Year Canadian friends'

I am from and live in the Bahamas. I love the cold, and so I enjoy watching cold weather camping videos.

This could be the ideal therapy for seasonal affective disorder for those living in the north. I like the axe system - saving yourself the headache of forgetting it and losing it in buried snow. One additional precaution, to save a bigger headache : eye protection when splitting wood. Any goggles or glasses. If hiking in is hard, hiking out with an eye injury would be truly brutal.

Perfect timing. I was just wishing for something good to watch. Doesn't get much better than you guys ! Cheers

the new girl prospective was priceless. good job !

the mouse eating was very touching 🥺💞

I just love how you guys celebrate the winter. The simple pleasures of food, heat and shelter.

I'm 3 minutes in and amazed at how perfectly this is edited......just in awe, especially with the fly over shots of the area....maybe you could do a collage of fly over shots tied with some Native American sounds that we could drool over for an hour....sorry back to the remaining 1 hour plus!!

How did people live in those conditions 100 s of years ago. Amazing. Great trips.

I'm at 11:27 and I love when Erintario hamms it up to the camera. Reminds me of day 8 on other videos when Jontario makes hat puppets.

that snow fishing cave was perfect. great find! and LOL at the burst of anger at the end there.

I love your statement " we are children" STAY THAT WAY...always see nature through the eyes of your inner child!!! love it, live it and pass the love on to your children....is a wonderful gift to give them!

The ending was gold.

So far, this is the DEFINITIVE series on knowledgeable winter camping! I prefer to return to known camp areas. The idea that a tent with a stove awaits, no matter how snowy and arduous the journey out, makes the 'shelter' real! In the series, we see the joys and functionality of partnership. A couple turns 'hardship' into something memorable and safe. For sure, I would have liked to see more fish in the creel...maybe it is winter.

So peaceful and relaxing I live in Louisiana it’s late 1:50 am can’t sleep and this is so relaxing

Break out indeed!!!! Thanks y'all 💜

Lol...if my sister took me along for a camp in that snow and cold she just knows I'd burrow under all the stuff in the sled, would have to drag the sled into the tent and place it next to the stove till it was totally defrosted. Then I'd recover from hibernation. Call me Ursa the bear 🐻 🐻‍❄ 😏. But for sure it looks like you had an awesome time. Here in South Africa in Winter if it shows a minus we put on the heaters and electric blankets. I wonder if a South African could survive -25 to -35. For sure I couldn't. Have fun, enjoy the wine 🍷 😉 and champagne 🍾 and have a wonderful 2022 of camping and adventures.

I just read the Title and I'm like 'Holy Crap! This is gonna be a good one!"

Sorry about no fish on the last trip brother. You were a boss for staying out like that. Loving all the content and your camera work is great. The scene of snow falling while fishing ledge was amazing. Takes me back brother. Thank you

It barely took 60 seconds for the first Tolkien reference. That has to be a Lost Lakes record!

I've said it before...but you're amazement and wonder at the natural world around you is what keeps me coming back. Just bought Kevin Callan's book on winter camping. This inmate is going to use his key!! Thanks a bunch Jon..

Breathtaking views.

I love the snow! That was beautiful! Thank you, Cheers

I love when people find and pursue their passion. Thanks for the video!

I'm having a great time, that's another dream.Thankyou

I would agree with John ...coffin!!

Just figured it out. Cooking on a baker's cooling rack...genius! Large enough to span the coals, but light weight. Hey, it's the little things. Was new to the channel this year. Happy NYE and congrats on your engagement. #44

Winter camping in such a beautiful place. Winter in Korea where I live is cold, but it is difficult to camp in such a beautiful place. There is not much snow this winter. I enjoyed watching the video. If I have a chance someday, I want to camp in a wonderful place like this.

Great adventure you two. Love watching your expeditions but slightly resent the fact that you're a better cook than I am despite being in the middle of nowhere and with a kitchen you've made from scratch.

I see Erin has the same boots I have....Baffin Technology. I love how the ice is squeaky when it's so cold. I have seen all this before but it was still great to watch again. I loved your fresh made ice cream.

John & Erin, I can tell you from experience of working in the bush in the winter that the best tea or coffee that you will ever taste in the bush is made from melted snow water. It doesn't have a lake water taste to it.

Hi🖐️ Watching from Saskatchewan Canada. I love your content. Makes me miss camping with my late husband. I love the longer videos and especially like the one hour , eleven minutes and eleven seconds👌 was meant to be in my books!! Looking forward to more! Thanks!

Awesome video and winter camping. 🏕

Thank you, Jon. Hits home, as always.

I think we should all agree that Erin is awesome!! Jon is ok too😆 great channel! Always enjoy the content!!

Couple things I've learned making quinzhees: If you can't dig out your space down to ground before you begin piling, you risk lack of cohesion between the dome and it's footing (like when it collapsed on you). The dome wall foundation must be as well-set-up as the dome. You can also fully workharden a flat area first (good if working on a slope), or my preferred method, mark a centre point with a stick, take the tallest person's ski pole (you) and loop the strap around the stick, pull it gently out to it's full extension and walk a circle multiple times in just boots, stomping down and mixing up as much you can (really pack it down, you're looking to collapse the air out of the snow), mark the outside edge with twigs. This packs in your dome wall foundation, build your dome tall and round out to the twig-marked diameter. As you discovered, adequate height is your goal, width is easy; a good target for height is your height on your knees, plus your arm extension up. Round domes are ideal, cones are hard to excavate nicely inside (similar to the difference between a teepee tent and a wall tent). You can dump a bunch of non-essential gear (like full backpacks) in the centre to aid excavation. Start digging up as soon as you can, carve out sections top to bottom (like an orange), this leaves some kind of a pillar to help support the roof until almost all the snow is out. The wire bail handle of a 5gal bucket does an EXCELLENT job of shaving the walls smooth, waaay easier and nicer finish than a shovel. Don't forget an 2-3" air hole 2/3 of the way up the wall. If you sleep in your quinzhee (or burn a bunch of candles) it'll set up from the inside and sag much less in the short term.

LOVE winter camping, and I owe it to your videos! I don't quite do your style, wish I could, and really wish I would have when I was younger and could! But I spend a day or so each week out camping, ice fishing, and just enjoying the beauty that so many never see. My friends call me crazy, but I think it's they that are crazy, hiding inside, when I get to see all that I do.

"Its like a magic trick"....mother nature is full of magic I think...everywhere you look, you can find little bits of magic 😊 Thank you again guys for keeping us entertained...going on week 3 I believe of being stuck in the hospital so this is always super helpful in keeping my moral up and keeping me entertained. You guys have no idea how much your videos help ❤

The winter video's are great, I can watch and feel like I'm out on the adventure without freezing my butt off :) Everything looks so pretty as well.

I love your entire video. However, I especially loved your commentary at the end of the video. It expresses how I feel about being outside in the cold, and the snow, and in the wilderness. Some people get it and others are not drawn to the outdoors all year long. But what you expressed is the way I feel about being out, year round, including the winter. Thank you.

Cheers Jon, Erin love the adventure, Happy new year guy's👍😎👍

I Always look forward to watching your videos such amazing work.❤🔥🎥🔥❤

Superbly filmed might just be your best video yet ty!!!

When I saw the pressure cooker coming out I was thinking "Battle with the Butternut Squash Part 2?" 😉

This absolutely deserves more views.. this video encapsulates everything about being an outdoorsman.. the sights, the lessons, and the freedom of it all in being able to enjoy this beautiful earth. What’s it’s all about

went out on my first hot tent trip last night. I live in western ny and man im hooked I loved it!

I enjoy so much seeing you together on another adventure. Thank you for another beautiful video 👍👋🙏🇨🇦

FYI if you want a tech step up...I see you have the fan. Tegmart does stove heat power generators with an ancillary benefit that it's cooling source blows out hot air also. some more weight added to your trip.

adeta yaşadım. çok güzel olmuş tebrik ederim. very very nice ;)

My wife says Erin is hilarious when you guys were eating ice cream . She is such a great person and tells other women they can do it just by seeing her out there . Good show guys

Thank you very much for the personalized Merry Christmas video requested by our son. Love you guy's style and content. Happy New Year!! Gary and Beth Long Missouri, USA

awesome .. wow what a great watch on a cold Alberta night. Thank you both for your time and energy to put our content this year. Really appreciate your efforts to make fun to watch and entertaining content. One of my favourite channels by far - so Thank You. 🙂

Awesome video friend, 44:50 best part if you ask me.😀

About a million years ago, when I was an adventuresome 16yo, I went and cross-country skied to the base of Mount Kosiosko (Australia's highest mountain), with about 8 other people. We made our base camp on the Swampy Plain River, no heater, just comfort food and unforgettable views, plus we saw wild Brumbies (horses), snow foxes, and eagles, the best fun I ever had with my clothes on.

Noch schöne Weihnachtstage und alles Gute im neuen Jahr, Grüße aus Bavaria 🎄🌲🎄

Always enjoyed your videos. Makes me wish I can do the same down this way. I do a lot of ice fishing.. but not so much winter camping. It is on my To Do Bucket List.. keep them coming, have a healthy, safe and happy holidays Jon n Erin

I'm amazed that all those deer flies, black flies, gnats, and mosquitoes are able to over winter through winters like this!

I watch a lot of youtube vids none of which I like and enjoy more than yours. You are the best of the best.

Awesome!!

If winter only was the slightest bit like that here i would totally love it. instead it is only grey and wet.

That's a lot of slogging in and out for 1 video! Thanks for doing it and filming for us!

Amazing guys...happy holidays.

Well wasn't this a nice relaxing winter camping adventure you and Erin went on, loved the views around the lake of the rock and snow covered trees' Hot tent definitely a must in that cold would have been wonderful with that stove to take off the chill of outside and the good food you cooked up to warm your insides . nice few trips . loved this

That was great, loved it, thanks Jon. Jon & Erin, If I don’t get another chance. Happy Holidays to you and yours & all the best for 2022’. Can’t wait to see what magic you bring us 🍻 PS, I wouldn’t get in the Quincy/coffin either lol

I think your hot tent videos are some of the best around. Certainly among my favorite adventure videos.

Very cool spot there for sure ! Good video 🇨🇦💪

beautiful Jon & Errin

im so proud of you two

Wonderful to see our younger generation embracing the outdoors no matter what the season. You both are truly great ambassadors of how to enjoy each other and the wonders of nature. And BTW, I was digging those gauntlet style mittens Erin was wearing, can you share where you got them. My aging hands need a little TLC.

Phenomenal scenery, haven't tried winter camping. And at my age probably won't happen. Thanks for a great video.

AWESOME!!! It’s not for everyone but THX for making winter FUN you two !!! It’s great to see your channel doing so well and well deserved. FYI I have a daughter named Erin and she purchase two Lost Lake T-shirts for Christmas for myself a winter and a summer LOGO version and their AWESOME!!!! CHEERS HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

i love the way you work together. strength tempo kindness

Man, the scenery right after you hang up the axes is money!!!!! What a video - I needed this - thank you.

Awesome video. Thank you so much for sharing it all.

Great Videos love watching them again 👊🏾👊🏾

I enjoyed this video so much and always look forward to your next one. LOVE what you said at the end 🙏🏻

Fantastic set of trips. Thanks for bringing us along. :)

I never get sick of watching you guys.

Well done and said, just loved it :-)

Things like this keep your relationship together. Live life freely. Stress free man i need a 🏕 camping vacay

My 1st. day home, after a 4 night hospital stay. What a wonderful way to welcome myself back home. Pure enjoyment. Thank you so much again. Feeling better already.

I really enjoy the long format for trips like this. That’s not to say I didn’t like it when you released it in episodes lol Thanks Jon and Erin. I’m looking forward to what you have in store this winter.

So this was a motivational video. Who knew?

That trophy ending 😂🤣

Erin is so amazing! She is a rare find out in this BS world. Congrats and thanks for this content. Love your drone footage.

A few of you guys doing these vids make it look so easy. I tried my first winter camp 3 days ago in -6 to -11 first day and failed. On a organized hike route in Algonquin. Didn't make the site so stopped close in the dark. 3 season tent, broke my glass lantern about an hour in from slipping in the dark, then had trouble with head light briefly, didn't take enough gas either, and too much trouble with getting a good fire the second day so couldn't get cloths dry properly. back to the drawing board. It's a whole different thing in the winter compared to portaging where anything can not work and it doesn't matter. And somehow, I don't know how, I think I'm going to lose my big toenail from the hike in. It was beautiful in there though. And when I crossed a wide black river with a dark grey sky and completely white glowing floor.....Amazing site.

Awesome to watch again, a prelude to what we hope is to come in 2022… happy new year to you both..

Awesome video. Love seeing the both of you out! @ 2:39 would of made a hilarious thumbnail haha!

"Slimmy yet satisfying," like my sister, a woman who quotes The Lion King is a keeper. ❤❤❤
