Thanks for watching! If you know, you know. I encourage folks not to name drop the cabin. Part of the fun of exploring these places is that they're not delivered on a social media silver platter and you have to do your own research and digging. Let's keep the magic alive! - Noah
Social media has very much contributed to the demise of many a great 'hidden space'. If people would put in a little work & research, they would appreciate (more) the finding and enjoying of these special places. Bannock on the campfire last weekend was top notch !
Ours is called The Beaver Township Rest Home. Not even telling what country it's in. My recent upgraded I restored the old wind up alarm clock, mechanism, glass, missing key, luminous paint on dial
I can officially say it IS possible to hike/bushwhack to this cabin but I would never recommend it to anyone! Hiked in and out and I'm still currently recovering. Was one of the most physically and mentally challenging things I have ever done. Nothing like sheer determination by two women to explore this area and make it to our destination. I don't think I've ever been more happy to see a cabin. Even those portages were tough and kudos to you for doing them solo with a canoe and not breaking an ankle. Seeing you glide in with the canoe made me so jealous! Haha. Because we were carrying everything on our backs, we couldn't bring anything extra but we cleaned up the shelves and we stacked as much firewood as we could. I'd love to go back via canoe sometime and spend a couple days. Wonderful how well everyone is keeping it up. Thanks for the video. I'm hoping to do my own video if I managed to get any decent footage from my go pro. It's probably just me pushing through trees, bogs and swearing. 😏
My buddy had the same canoe and used that canoe for shooting the Tatachichika River in the Timmins ON area, for as long as I can remember, I rarely went along being a tried and true landlubber.
Ok, I have to watch more of your videos because this is the best outdoor video I have seen in weeks. I have seen way to many videos of people out "roughing it" with tons of equipment in tow. I spend six months on the PCT (ok, I know it not specifically way out there in the backwoods) with nothing more than what I could carry in my backpack. I had a blast.
I like your statement of leaving things at a cabin ! Whether cutting wood or non perishable food or a repair ! Some day someone s life could depend on it !
I live in a large city in the Arizona desert...I enjoyed every minute of this. Thank you very much for sharing such a delightful place. It's been a dream of mine for years to visit Nova Scotia..💜🌲
Would love to go to a little cabin like that in winter. My favorite memories growing up were staying in a small log cabin with a wood stove and kerosene lamp, always in winter. buzzing up & down the lake on the machine, no bugs, ice fishing...good times.
@@emelen123jamesula2 Unless you really need the money you will be very wise not to sell. Land is priceless 💯💜💯💜💯 For years my mother tried to convince my father to buy this swampland in Alabama but he refused. Today it’s the airport sitting where the swamplands were 😂
You can never go wrong with bologna I mean bolonie lol and kd . Is there log book 📕 at every ⛺️ site ? Wow that cray some one left a guitar 🎸 to play how cool is that ?!
I’ve spent many a night in that old camp, I’m sure you would of seen my name in the log or on the way several times. We used to come in from the other end until they closed it off. Great video, lots of great memories for sure.
You guys are so reliable. Without fail I can click your vid and enjoy the whole thing, never losing interest or wanting to fast-forward. Beautiful as always. Great book to read too.
Man that is an awesome cabin. I spent 30 years in N.B. We canoed and fished the Miramichi. It was awesome. Some cabins were left opened. We packed tents but there were times it was raining and cold and we opted for a cabin. We always left it better than when we found it. Thanks for sharing your experience.
It is a great country. Never needing to worry about doctor or hospital bills, we pay a bit higher for stuff, but in the long run its worth it for the benefits we have.
I live in Nova Scotia. There is a beautiful little waterfall on a stream near my home .Someone put it on Google Maps and now it is full of people garbage and noise .Good luck keeping that cabin secret.
@@1waydago It is genuinely awful getting there during the first half of the portages, sludging through bog trying to find the trail. It takes a decent amount of dedication and insight to get past the first few hurtles, so you are right, I doubt it would get overrun by tourists.
Hopefully not a disrespectful question but, I’m curious...is there anything you can try to do to detour people and trash? Anything you can do concerning the entity that owns and/or operates the land, Sophia?
Really enjoyed the video, thank you for being so respectful of the places you stay and more night time video in the cabins you stay in, I really enjoy that. Thanks!
Enjoyed the vid. Proof that it is unhealthy to deprive oneself of essentials in life like bologna sandwiches... you almost eating the skin of the bologna cracked us right up... you could have choked to death! So right in your comments about caring for these treasures in the woods ... leave them cleaner and in better shape is so huge. And hats off to the keepers of the cabins! Well done!
It’s beautiful there! Wish I was brave enough to go there by myself, but I’m not. It’s wonderful to see people respecting a place & leaving it better than they found it. Thanks for sharing this fun adventure 🥰
Noah, my dear old Dad started taking me into this lake and Cabin at least 65 years ago now. Agreed … a beautiful place. My son and I last hiked in from the south on the May long weekend in 2019. Question … where do you start your Trek from coming in from the North these days … paddle through the Stillwaters first ??? is the trail still fairly well cleared and marked … is there a current Map nowadays … we used to leave our vehicle at a farmer’s house and hike back on one of his Woods Roads until we eventually met up with the Rangers’ Trail coming in from another Ranger’s Camp on a lake a little further to the West. Rewatch this video at least once a year … takes me back … great job thanks so much. Thanks again.
I just found your channel! Wow what breathtaking views. I wish one day I could get to see Canada 😍. I would love to learn to build a fire and camp. If you have more videos like this one on your channel I’ll be binge watching them.
What a beautiful location for a cabin...and to be able to locate it and have it in so wonderful of a condition...fantastic adventure and time alone in the great outdoors...thanks so much for sharing...
Should have a fishing pole and bait and a minnows trap and always have a line in the water. Split and cut wood on good days and hunt and trap mornings and evenings for food. You never know what might happen. And you should always have a plan? Emergency communications is a must. Never travel alone.
Greenwood doesn't burn as good as drywood, yes, but also, more important, greenwood creates tar that sets on the inside of the pipe and if overheated, it sets it on fire. Hazardous if used frequently. Beautiful place by the lake, and i am so happy to see these cabins looked after so well.
It's beautiful there. I've always wanted to take a trip there. Maybe this year I can. I like the cabin the beds are simple but I like it and it seems wide . Thanx for showing us.
Such a beautiful cabin tucked back in that little bay like that. Now that to me is peace & tranquility at it's best, and the way people take care of it is so nice. I'd be there every chance I got if I lived close by. Great video.
Well look at that, a wee cabin tucked into the bush on a epic lake , How awesome is that. Have to love Nova Scotia it's beauty the people there ... Loved the area and cabin. But that wind was nasty . loved the video thanks for bring us with you on this adventure.
It's great to see what Nova Scotia has to offer. I recently moved to south eastern New Brunswick from Ontario for university, and your Nova Scotia videos have been giving me lots of motivation to go and explore whats in my new backyard! Oh, and I can't believe that old Coleman canoe is still alive!
I grew up in the mountains of Colorado. At the time a took it for granted but I’m so grateful now. Thanks for showing us your stomping grounds! Excellent filming as well.
Love that they have a record of the camp going back 20 years history of places like this I think you’re very important for human morale! I have a little deer camp in the upper Peninsula of Michigan we try to write some thing in the book and every trip just for the heck of it so when I’m gone if somebody comes upon it at least I’ll know something
I was going to say it would be an awesome place to go in winter for a weekend ... and the snow came the next day 😂 . What a beautiful spot and cabin , never saw one equiped with a guitar and a stove , I hope people will take care of it , it's a real gem .
I bought a place on a lake, far east guysbourgh, as a summer bug out, been making it really nice and warm, and in 19, we came out now to retire, it's nice to be in the clean air, near the lake, have a green house, fish. I subbed you enjoyed that video, keep it going. Cheers
Beautiful scenery and great video. I noticed you had some coffee beans from Costa Rica, nicely done there, at such remote location with a piece of my country represented. Keep it up.
Another fantastic video, Noah! Great video! I carry a couple hot glue sticks in my possibles bag for canoe repairs. Also cutting plastic slivers off the canoe or sacrificing other plastic materials to melt into a glue paste would work. We found an old milk jug and used it to repair a metal canoe once! (Younger and dumber daysl) I love your videos!

Ah !ah! The bologna is more good with his plastic . I love that recipe . Thanks for beautifull sharing.
loved this video ,just wish we would be able to know where you are at times ,cus for those of us not home it just brings back memories .anyway no matter ,thankyou for taking the time to film and share ...until the next .
In the 1974 me and two friends used to canoe to the lost surveyor's cabins outside of Halifax. Use pine pitch to fix the leak in the canoe. The lakes used to have trout in them .
Should be cleaned especially if burning pine. If not cleaned you can have a stove pipe fire. And to have that 3 foot parallel pipe is inefficient for smoke to escape.
@@emelen123jamesula2 All you have to do to clean it is burn it extremely hot with a bunch of kindling for about 30 minutes and get it glowing. As for the parallel pipe not being efficient for the smoke escaping.. while that's true, the goal isn't to have the smoke escape, it's to warm the cabin; the more pipe you have inside, the more heat it transfers inside.
I laughed when you said "you can smell the geese". I thought, what Canada geese cooking? I'm a 69 year old grandmother who lives in the sub tropics of Australia. I love your sense of adventure and was right on there with you until you mentioned about the possibility of having to sleep under the canoe....that did it for me!! haha It is so beautiful there and so different to anything I am used to.
Looked like a great trip except for the darn wind for your return. I was telling Alex my son and I are heading out next week to do the Skull Lake route you guys. Fingers crossed the weather cooperates! Yikes 😱
Hi guys. We got our Skull lake trip in . It was perfect timing for weather. A little challenging for this old fellow but we’ll worth it. Going to be looking for doing more trips next spring. Looking forward to your next adventure! Cheers
Nice video Noah! I’m glad you promote keeping places the hidden gems that they are and educating people the etiquette of replenishing what you use. Well done!
Killer cabin. It's nice to see places like that exist still and are well kept and respected. Wouldn't happen here in the Adirondacks...It's being overrun by city folk.
THANKS for sharing part of Nova Scotia in a shoulder season camp trip. Your 'warts and all' presentation reminds us to carefully inspect our kit before starting out. Always a good idea to include a canoe patching/paddle mending kit. I'd take a tarp to use with the canoe as a shelter, if necessary. I imagine you had another fire source along to brew up water for food and beverages if you hadn't found the gas system available.
That smoke pouring in when you are lighting the fire is pretty heavy!! I would shut the door and let the bark and kindling take over, then open the door slightly to start that draft before I added more wood. Green wood also builds creosote in the stove pipe…I wouldn’t burn soft wood at all! Great spot!! Thanks for taking care
Good morning, this was an excellent video thank you for bringing us along. I really enjoyed the entire video from start to finish. I hope you're having a great day! Tom
Marvelous! I believe I read the same book (that was keeping you company while waiting out the wind) this past spring. Glad the Coleman tub made it out!
Just for fun try sealing the leak with spruce pitch, find some chunks and melt it down, then heat it and paste it on the crack. Maybe on the inside and outside. Love spring paddling.
nice video Noah and in my back yard again without me knowing it lol, thanks for promoting NS but not giving up its back woods hidden gems its nice to seek them out on your own or to just stubble upon them when out for a paddle, stay safe

Early spring with cranberries.
I know
I love that you didn’t swamp the video with music. I feel like I’m there in nature.

I recently discovered your channel. Great video! I am from NS and paddle the Tusket River system a few times. I love and miss that area.
You can never go wrong with bologna I mean bolonie lol and kd .
Is there log book 📕 at every ⛺️ site ?
Wow that cray some one left a guitar 🎸 to play how cool is that ?!
Hello from Cheyenne, Wyoming USA. What a great cabin and beautiful, scenic surroundings. I very much enjoyed this video.
I’ve spent many a night in that old camp, I’m sure you would of seen my name in the log or on the way several times. We used to come in from the other end until they closed it off. Great video, lots of great memories for sure.
I can't count how many times I have forgotten to take the rind off of bologna. LOL Glad I am not the only one.
This was the first of your videos that I watched. Looks like heaven to me.
I used to canoe/camp in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Thanks for sharing! I definitely want to go there!
You guys are so reliable. Without fail I can click your vid and enjoy the whole thing, never losing interest or wanting to fast-forward. Beautiful as always. Great book to read too.
Thanks Jon, really appreciate it. Adam Shoalts continues to deliver with the good reads!
I love every season but spring is so exciting with new life...and no mosquitos yet! I wish I could live in that little cabin, I love it!!
Really cute cabin and in great shape!
This really makes me miss the East Coast! Fantastic job promoting back woods etiquette! Really enjoyed the video! Cheers!

Northern Michigan here. My pleasure....thanks for the trip❤
And not getting hammered by the bugs actually looks real pleasant. I enjoy time alone
Awesome place
Love your videos
Bye now from Florida
Stay safe
It is great to see my home I haven’t see is so long, and from this angle. Thank you so much ☺️
I love that shoulder season camping-waking up to snow means you normally have the place to yourself!
Another great video.
The backcountry here in Nova Scotia is very beautiful.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. 👍
Enjoyed the video immensely. What a beautiful country we live in. Thank you for sharing.
It is a great country. Never needing to worry about doctor or hospital bills, we pay a bit higher for stuff, but in the long run its worth it for the benefits we have.
Perfect spot!
Great video, Noah. My only complaint is you didn't fry the bologna. 😋😉👍🛶
That would have been the icing on the bologna cake
I live in Nova Scotia. There is a beautiful little waterfall on a stream near my home .Someone put it on Google Maps and now it is full of people garbage and noise .Good luck keeping that cabin secret.
Sophia, that is unfortunate. Irritating people
I hope that because this cabin is not very easily accessible, it may not get busy and full of tourists and disrespectful explorers

i was so glad you gave update oh the leak!! im over here like...(nail biting) lol
Fabulous!! I watched every part of the Labrador series. Amazing. I was glued to the screen. Thank you 😊😊
Glad you enjoyed Lynn :)

So much respect and admiration to you and everyone that appreciates this cabin with such great care. 💯💜💯💜💯 Gorilla tape is much better than Duct tape.
I never leave home without my roll of gorilla tape stuff is tough as hell and sticks to anything
@@trevorjackson6228 😅😂🤣 I have a roll in my car 😂 It’s the best tape 💯🌟💯🌟💯🌟💯
In the 1974 me and two friends used to canoe to the lost surveyor's cabins outside of Halifax.
Use pine pitch to fix the leak in the canoe. The lakes used to have trout in them .
do they not have trout anymore
Nice video ,You can repair the canoe with resin and charcoal easy peasy
My dream is this. I live in manhattan, and ran a JAZZ CLUB, with of course candel lit. I tell you this because that's what you were doing.thank you.
Looks like a slice of heaven. Nice video.
Was thinking that someone should clean the stove pipe...the draft wasn’t all that great with the two bends in it. Pack in a chimney brush. Great vid.
Should be cleaned especially if burning pine. If not cleaned you can have a stove pipe fire. And to have that 3 foot parallel pipe is inefficient for smoke to escape.
Good point mate. Tho I wonder if that’s taken care of.
Tho it’s not used that often or prolly not during extreme cold spells.
@@emelen123jamesula2 All you have to do to clean it is burn it extremely hot with a bunch of kindling for about 30 minutes and get it glowing. As for the parallel pipe not being efficient for the smoke escaping.. while that's true, the goal isn't to have the smoke escape, it's to warm the cabin; the more pipe you have inside, the more heat it transfers inside.
The pipe was realigned in 2023 to make it straighter, it draws much better.
absolutely nothing wrong with rewarding yourself with treats. I do the same when I go off into the woods
Coming from another downhomer, NS is beautiful if you take the time to enjoy her
I'd heat that Naan bread up and you're in for a real treat!! I would also have a micky/flask haha

Killer cabin. It's nice to see places like that exist still and are well kept and respected. Wouldn't happen here in the Adirondacks...It's being overrun by city folk.

What a zen location.
nice video Noah and in my back yard again without me knowing it lol, thanks for promoting NS but not giving up its back woods hidden gems its nice to seek them out on your own or to just stubble upon them when out for a paddle, stay safe
