Massive Series Starts APRIL 19 + Update 

Don't take your old ones down I love going back and watching them.

"You must be trippin'" is what people say when I tell them I watch a guy canoe and camp around northern Ontario for hours at a time. Excited to come along on another journey with you.

I've watched everything you've posted to RU-vid, I think, but I absolutely know this series will be EPIC: you (and Erin) helped me get through a heart attack and subsequent cancer diagnosis. Here it is about 18 months later, I'm healed, cancer-free, 65 lbs lighter, and ready to camp,hike, and bikepack again. I credit you and Jim Baird's channel with getting me where I am today. I can't wait for everything you have planned!

Dear Jon, my life as a single father and police officer in western Germany does not allow me such existential experiments. But I'm happy about my regular "breaks" into nature. I wish you both many more realizable dreams, always good health and constant professional fulfillment. Alexander from the lower mountain range Eifel.

Oh this is gonna be amazing! Thanks for sharing the good and the bad. And making Canada look even more beautiful 🇨🇦❤️

I am so grateful for your beautiful films. I love the respect you show nature and the attention to the small details. I also love all the dishes you prepare, as if I can almost taste them after a hard day on the water, happy from pure exhaustion. I also love Erin. Enjoy your upcoming trips and we will be watching when complete. Good things come to those who wait.

By watching most of your old films we can see an amazing transformation as you've grown as a filmmaker. So to intentionally tell that story in your way makes these sooo freaking exciting. It's gonna be darn near impossible to not binge-watch!

Keep those old videos available forever, they're amazing!

John you are by far the best Creator on RU-vid in your genre. X 10. And we can't wait until you and Erin are on Jim Barids podcasts. Love to hear the extended version.

Jon and Erin it's amazing how two people we've never met have become a fabric in part of our lives. You literally take us to places we'll never be/see, and we appreciate you for that. Know this, my wife and I will be watching every minute of everything you post up! Best to you both!

Loved the first episode!! Very interesting to hear your back story. We're considerably older but still reminisce about how we spent so much of our childhood outdoors. We ended up living most of our lives in Toronto due to work. Every time I drove to the north end of the city and saw that mileage sign to Algonquin Park it was all I could do to turn back to 'reality'. We took our three children on a canoe trip every summer in Algonquin but gave it up when they left home. We finally broke free from the city when we retired a few years ago, if only to a large rural property northeast of Toronto. Your videos have inspired us and reignited our love of the outdoors...to the point where we have booked our canoe trip dates for Algonquin this September. Thank you so much for sharing your passion and reminding us how so lucky we are to have the Canadian wilderness at our doorstep and brining the joy of the outdoors back to us.

Woohoo! Really looking forward to this series!!!!!

Excited muchly. More Lost Lakes. Cannot wait.🎉

"Making your dream come true...with learning and effort." Love it!!

I want you to know that your videos keep me sane while working under stress, the fact that your outdoors and Im on a computer all day is very comforting

Looking forward to watching this Jon .. I’ve followed you from the beginning .. you are soft spoken and a master at filming, you capture such beauty in each video. I compare your gentleness and photography to Max Budnick. Love your alone videos the best they really show your talent of filming wildlife and all nature from birds to butterflies to flower and trees. Your RESPECT for all that nature provides is amazing. 😊 thank you

I don't see you as a RU-vidr but more like a Cinematographer there says..I absolutely love your content and can't wait to see the full production that you created ..it's absolutely moving and truly entertaining ❤

Always a good day when a Lost Lakes vid lands. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Love your content John all of it I was born and raised in the bush and at 61 years of age still enjoying the wilderness more than ever

Jon-O! You must be trippin’! “D*MN right I am!” He answers back. You are the best in this field. The cinematography is astounding to say the least. One can let their soul get lost in the winding trails and waterways of nature, and then swear they’d been on a trip to Heaven and back home again. Pure ethereal Dreamtime. Those 3 hours or so will fly by like the blazing blur of a fiery comet leaving me dazzled and begging for just a little more, just one more hour, please… Yeah, you trippin’, Jon-O, and so are we! Thanks man! Love you and Erin! Wish you both the best! Looking forward to the journey this series takes us on.

You just getting better and better with making videos and editing. Been watching you for years now and if you don't stop, I will not stop watching. Please don't stop! 😀🙏

Looking forward to the new series. Greetings from Munich, Germany!

I’ve been following you since Ray Goodwin (UK canoe Yoda and legend) shared your Pick River trip some years ago. I was captivated by your narrative and camera work then and I have watched it become ever better since. You have become a master of your craft and your work inspires, educates and entertains. Looking forward to the new series. Go well!

Looking forward to it. You’re fortunate to have a partner Wife who supports and shares your love for this life style. Great videos👍

We are looking forward to ALL of it. My son and I both are in agreement that YOU are BY FAR the VERY BEST of EVERYONE who has videos of this type of content. Each video is SO WELL DONE in quality. Thank you for making such the fine effort that you do. Good luck in every future endeavor.

And look at how far you've come, Wow your family should be proud of you! You do a great job!

Hi John, I’ve watched everything you have produced over time! My name is Stan and originally from southern Ontario (St Thomas) farming! I have a cottage on Georgian bay (Owen sound) with a 100 acre hardwood maple forest that the Amish work on taping and making maple syrup. Today I live mostly in BC. I return about 3 months of the year back to Owen Sound.. I spend a lot of time on Pitt Lake, camping, fishing, hiking, plus pan for gold. It’s a pass time between hiking and fishing. I really love watching your Ontario camping adventures as I’ve been to some of your locations years ago! Moon river is a place I always went once a year back in the early 80’s. The moon river basin water falls is awesome.. Anyway, keep it up and I will be watching! Yes bring the wife along as we enjoy seeing you together! Cheers Stan..

I LOVE IT!! For a variety of reasons, the back story.....the how to...not to....kinda thing. Folks tell me I should do a channel, and I always refer them to your channel as the gold standard of channels and tell them that I can't dedicate this kind of detail and creativity to a channel and thus I won't half ass it. Looking forward to a great series and season!!

I can't wait to see the result of this project! Those videos kick started my passion to get back into the backcountry and push my limits with my trips. They also sparked my love of fishing and how to do it with respect and appreciation. Cheers!

Reminiscing Jon ! I remember those trips from the city. Time flies by. 🇨🇦

Perfect timing for this! I wish you great success with your amazing channel.. Keep your canoe upright and videos coming. Thank you both for getting us back to nature.

Looking forward to seeing this man. I have not seen those old trips. Keep rolling Brother, you’re one of the best out there IMO. 🤘😎

only because you are so talented, am I excited to even watch a 3 hour video. mammoth!

Inspirational Jon...keep 'em coming!

DAMN! GO FOR IT MAN! I'm a 75 year old Woodsman/Voyageur type who actually got CHILLS when you blasted out the preview scenes at the end of your intro video here! I've subscribed and watched lots of your videos before and I'm jazzed to see what you have in store for us. Happy trails and smooth water to ya!

How great is that?! This will be a beautiful journey back in time. I absolutely love all you videos. You brought me to canoe camping in Ontario, which now is the most meaningful thing in my life. Can´t wait to watch. Thank you, Jon!

Hope your knee is healed up love watching you two enjoying the outdoors and traveling and teaching us some things about your travels and i adore how the two of you enjoy each other's company and travel it's awesome and keep your older videos up and I hope to watch new ones also

Looking forward to this so much. Love all your originals, too. Please save them all for us. You hooked us with those! 😊🎉😊

Ok! That trailer for the series gave me goose bumps, the clip of the monster rollers of Superior smashing the shore. Nice editing and you are Trippin’

Love the vids. Glad you’re back healthy!!

What a great intro. Such a beautiful life you've made for yourself. You're definitely one of the modern day pioneers creating a completely unique lifestyle for yourself and showing others that it's possible to do so. Congratulations man.

Congrats! All of your hard work is paying off, continue being you and an inspiration to me and countless others. Really looking forward to this series!

Can't wait for this one buddy. I've always been curious about your back story or I should say, how you became a "full time camper" and do what you do. Thanks for sharing your story and allowing us to learn! Cheers from Kitchener, Ontario.

Omg wait can’t !!! I’m tripping already 😅 Saturday night with popcorn and a beer or two… it’s going to be nice to sit back and watch it all over again, it’s going to be awesome 👏

You are livin' the dream John.

This is going to be sooo dope! Looking forward to it John! Surely this’ll finally explain where you had been all those months after surgery!

Looking forward to it!! I sure wish I had discovered you and all your trippin' buddies eleven months ago. It would have made my recovery from Tibial Plateau Fracture surgery much more enjoyable!!

Very cool. Im really looking forward to the fuller view of life of full time "tripper". Thanks for all your brilliant vids. Perfect for my downtime waiting for the rotator/shoulder surg. to anchor in and finish mending. Cheers to you and Erin ❤
