  LOVE being transported into your space and time. The clarity of the video work, the subtle soundtrack, the quirky editing, and especially the narration are all so integral to this experience which is so hard to find in other media. Nice work as always!!!

  I love that you're a serious person and not a vain douche like seemingly every other outdoor channel.  Thank you.

  I've got to say that I thought you were just a guy that liked lakes. The editing is epic, the shots you've kept in and for the duration you've kept them in for are perfect. It feels like I'm camping with you. Then there's the music and journey. It's absurd how you can make a relaxed camping vid be so entertaining. I'm currently binge watching all vids.

  Boy did I luck out, just sat down to take a break after doing more chores than I cared to, and found this video all ready for me to watch. Another great one. ✌🏽

  Just taking a break from editing, to watch your latest adventure.  We both thought it was mighty impressive just making it to your trip.  I think I would have turned around and started the trip a day later.   So much work winter camping.  Quite a contrast between the Yukon river footage we're working through currently, where it's 30 degrees with thick forest fire smoke at times, to your -20 on frozen Northern Ontario lakes.  Great trip and edit.  Appreciate all the hard work that goes into these trips.  Thanks for the break.

  I really admire how you are able to enjoy these lakes, any time of the year. Your passion for the outdoors is fierce.

  I used to try to explain that sound that the ice made at the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psUKNNHSftM&amp;t=1860">31:00</a> mark to people, cross between a boom and a howl. I miss hearing that, no more winter nights at the cabin for me. Always look forward to a new video, thanks so much for your dedication.
