I use to live in Red Rock and miss that bay very much. Yes, those were coyote tracks that you saw on the ice rd. Lots of coyote sightings on the ice in front of the town. They don't head too far out into the bay as the timber wolves would kill and eat them. I wouldn't be surprised if you drew those timber wolves out onto the ice. They have a distinct advantage surprising a moose,deer,otter etc out on the ice and often look for silhouettes and investigate once they are seen. Once they got close enough to see and smell you they wouldn't want to venture any closer.

The majority of us on this planet, will not personally experience these views and this kind of adventure in our lifetimes. So, how blessed are we to have someone like Jon to do it on our behalf? And to capture the experience so beautifully - Thankyou Jon

You are still my favourite creator - a story teller, artist, and human with integrity.

Jon, as a subscriber of about 3 years, its fun to see that your growth in editing, cinematography and background music has just exploded. Great video!

Best photography, best commentary, best background music. All around the best.

Somehow little “thumbs ups” just don’t seem significant enough for your channel. Thanks for sharing.

Can’t wait for you all to hit the water this year. Miss your canoe trips with your buddies and Erin.

I was literally just moaning to my partner that I was suffering from Canoe-dling Deficiency ( meaning I was missing seeing my favourite Canadian Canoe-dians), and HERE YOU ARE! Not canoeing i know, but just as good on the snow. Cheers from a grateful me in UK.

Doesn't bathe for eight days, inability to thoroughly wash hands, drinking straight lake water, but concerned about sponge bacteria 😂. Another great vid even with my winter fatigue at an all time peak right now. The wolf encounter must have been unreal!

It's hard work what you do. The rewards are more than money. The adventure is what everyone wants, but afraid to take the hike. You've arrived at being a formidable movie producer.
