Well done Doug, thank you for the informative video….amazing how our chat turned out to be such an amazing adventure for you! John is smiling down on you for sharing his love of history and exploring!
Thanks so much Janson! I’m hoping you will accompany me when I go back when the snow is gone. Appreciate you coming in 2022 and I look forward to doing it again in 2024 Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
I was born in 1956 and grew up in Onaping, about 15 miles from Cartier. Like other commenters here I never heard about this camp. Thanks for doing this.
You’re very welcome Sir. I hadn’t heard of it until about 5 years ago and that’s when my journey began with this project. Means a lot to me that you enjoyed it. 👍🏻😊
Brother Doug, this was a fantastic documentary on camp 101. All the years of research and time spent has brought history to life. History preserved as nature reclaims it's beautiful landscape. Well done my friend 🤠🙏🌲☕
In the late 60's, I worked as a boatsman for the Mount Kineo hotel on Moosehead Lake, Maine. One summer, I was asked to take an older couple to Seboomook, at the head of the lake at Northwest Carry. I took them up in the hotels speedboat, a Century Resorter waterski boat. The couple were very quiet and I think did not enjoy the ride much as it was a cloudy and chill day. I docked on a rickety wood and stone pier, fearful of gouging the boats mahogany on the not-so-well covered rocks. The couple wandered around a bit while I stepped into the small general store-cum post office that was the living room of someone's house. Few people and not much going on there at the best of times. (The post office was a letter tray labeled "In/Out/Stamps" with a part roll of stamps. and some loose change.) The couple said they were ready to return, so back to the Hotel we went. Long after they left the Hotel, It finally dawned on me - the man was a German PW who was held in a small camp there from '43 to '45 and spent the war cutting timber. I always wish I had been Quicker on the Uptake. Having several relatives on "the other side of the hill' I would have tried to engage him a bit more.
So very interesting! It would have been interesting to have talked about it with him but it makes sense that he was so quiet. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your story Friend! 👍🏻😊
Good stuff! You finally got there. Nature really takes over and covers up once-cleared land, making places seem unrecognizable. The basics of camp life were mostly wood in those days, and it all rots (cabins, bunk houses, mills). I see there was some steel bits here and there and somewhere there would be a can and bottle dump. That would be difficult to find but may yield some cool, old bottles. Your editing is great and the voice-over really enhances the video images and clips. The maps shown during the video give us a clear picture of where you are and add to the quality of your production. Sounds like you really did your homework and research on this one, Doug! All the Best to you!
A really enjoyable video Doug. It's a great mission history and once you're on it you just want to see it through. You got there and that's what counts - you know the feeling of those past lives. I bet you just stood and gazed a while. Thanks Doug. Appreciate that. Mark
well done brother👌 Love the story, maybe a revisit in the spring to see what has been left behind. I'm sure this place would be a metal detector's dream to visit. Thanks for the adventure Doug🍻
Doug! Happy New Year! I always love when you make these adventures for us to enjoy. I find it so interesting, thank you. Can't wait to see your future adventures. Be safe and stay well. Catherine
Great story. I was at the POW camp several times in the early 1980s with a few of John Eithers friends. I had a few discussions with John Either about this place. I always went in on snow mobile. The road to Shene was quite open then. It is now barely a single trail as the tees have grown in. In the early 80s you still could see the outline of the camps. Some of the camp walls were 6ft tall. All gone now. Great story. Now in the archives.
Thanks so much Robert! Awesome that you were able to have a few discussions with John about Camp 101. Unfortunately John passed before we could talk but Sylvianne was incredible in assisting me to be able to share this one small story in our local history. I really appreciate you sharing your experiences with all of us!! 👍🏻👊🏻
I was born and raised in Levack and now live in mexico and always wanted to get to that POW camp . I’m now almost 80 years old and don’t plan on making the hike. 😂😂Thank you for Taking the hike for me . I’ve been metal detecting for over 50 years and would have certainly liked to have spent the day searching for treasure. But not in black fly or mosquito season. Should you ever go back there again and do some metal detecting, i’de love to watch your video.
When we were kids, we would take family rides along the Old Cartier Road. Up in this area, there was an old, abandoned Bren Gun Carrier just off the road. It probably had a connection to this camp.
Wow that’s super interesting. It’s an amazing area to this day and I enjoy spending time there once in awhile. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch. Doug
Well, great video ! I must add to this,,,,as a young boy grown up in Garson, Ontario, my mother told me a story, since she had grown up in Nairin Center along with her many siblings,,,, one of her brothers, Adlore Bouillon who was about 16 or 17 heard of a jail break of 3 POW,s from the prison camp in Espanola. Apparently there were two of them caught, but, the third got away,,, after missing for so many days, there was a reward put out, for an amount of money,,,,that’s when young Adlore set out with his rifle to see if he could get this reward. After a day or two, he found the POW crossing the Spanish River bridge, on Hwy 17, which we all cross today going east or west. After trying to talk to the escapee with no success, he shot him in the leg, causing him to give up and he was then, with my Uncles help, was taken back to Espanola and was given the reward. Guess young Adlore,s Deer hunting ability, paid off ! James McBane
Looked pretty tough going to find Camp 101 and not surprised you called it in the end, better weather to come and the camp will not be going anyway. You could see how cold it was with the lake completely frozen over but real surprise all the POW remained in Canada till1946 and not shipped back as soon as the war ended but as POWs go, I would rather have been a POW there, than in Germany! Interesting story of the POWs, good for some, not so for others but that is the nature of war, cheers Alan
Thanks Alan! POW’s were treated better here in Canada than anywhere else from my research especially German POW’s who ended up in Russia. Appreciate you watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻🤘🏻
very interesting history and beautiful hike in the wintry forest... they sure did a good job of cleaning it up though, i guess that piece of metal is all that's left/// thanks for sharing
There are probably some more artifacts under the snow but unless you were to dig I don’t expect you would find much above ground. Appreciate you watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
There is a camp by pogamissuim there is little pog and big pog lake …a guy I knew was a friend he showed me the site all that’s left are log fountains in a box forum what looks like what I think are wood stoves ya Canada has a dark history that not many know about …this was really neat to see ..the Spanish river also has a dark secret when the prisoner’s and horses fell throu the ice there was something like 25 plus people who died …ice was too thin , too much wood on The sleighs I was told something along that line ???.. I was also told that big logging companies some American and some Canadian used these prisoners for labour and like you said in your story were paid 25..50 cents ….funny how these companies got really big .. Cheers from Sudbury Great story Davide
Thanks Davide! Interesting information you have provided and there no reason to doubt anything you mentioned. The one thing I know for sure is German POW’s were used as labour. I appreciate you watching and sharing your knowledge. 👍🏻👊🏻
Man yeah! Love this content. I've been meaning to get out to the camp in Kananaskis, though that location is not a mystery and doesn't have the awesome notes of adventure as this one does ;)
Thank you Kenny! No relation between me and these two men. I had the opportunity to meet with John Ethier’s wife for the documentary. Unfortunately both men have passed away. Appreciate you watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
i have been there couple times hunting birds about 20 years ago that my buddy showed me. there wasn t much left of the camps back then and it was a far enough walk! i m from Sudbury too.
It definitely was a far enough walk Norton. I know the camp was closed in 1950 and there was some kind of cleanup. I suspect there isn’t much left and if there is it’s buried there to forever be part of our community’s history. Really appreciate you watching!
Great piece of history there pal...well done ! Being an ex Cdn Army guy myself.....it was good to see ( what i am assuming is his son) joined the Cdn Army as well? There was a picture on the left of the frame .
Thanks so much Brother! Thank you for your service!! I can’t confirm who is in the picture but I can say there’s a likelihood your assumption may be correct. Appreciate you watching and commenting! 👍🏻👊🏻
Very interesting story Doug,first I ever heard of camp 101 and the prisoners of war.would be interesting to see if you found more relics if you went back in the early fall. Have a great day.
I have a mystery for you. Years ago, while I was kayaking, I happened upon a island as I paddled a possible old Secondary Trading Outpost for the Hudson Bay Company. We found what could had been the site by metal detecting an area where we unearthed a heap of Hudson Bay Trading Double Head Axes. This mystery is around Ignace Ontario, where there is an island called Graveyard Island. When we camped there we found no evidence of a graveyard or a settlement. We were told at a local diner that it could had been a spot were victims of Typhoid may had been kept? Have you any knowledge of the area?
Very interesting Jim. I’ve been up through Ignace on my way to Woodland Caribou PP for a canoe trip. I’m not familiar with this claim of the island being a refuge for victims of typhoid and after doing a little research there doesn’t appear to be record of this happening but who knows. It’s impossible to tell a story without solid evidence that something did occur in a particular area. Thanks so much for your input and watching!! 👍🏻👊🏻
I'm pretty sure that i know of the island you mentioned. I'm not aware of the typhoid angle but locals say that there was a pow ca,p on a portage about 2 miles south of that island. Tmn
Hi John, I’m up in Sudbury. That’s interesting I did not know that or find that in my research. Thanks so much for watching and sharing this information. Doug
If you want to get in there when the snow is gone and you want some company drop me a line....love walking the bush......it would be neat to run a metal detector in that area.
This isn’t a public trail with signs telling you where to go, it’s a non-maintained backcountry trail used for hunting, fishing and cutting firewood. The trailhead is hidden and leads you in a different direction away from the camp location and trusting that trail to take you to the area of the camp location was an issue. Someone used a chainsaw to open up an area of the trail close to a lake that’s no where near the camp area. The camp itself is not marked or shows any indication of its existence or location without extensive research. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and I hope you understand this was not as easy as it may appear to have been in your eyes.
Are you kidding me?!! fascinating. Don't forget to look into the disappearance of over 10 million able bodied men in the US in the 1931-1933 time period. Yup, maybe some of our fellow Canadians are included as well.
Well done Doug, thank you for the informative video….amazing how our chat turned out to be such an amazing adventure for you! John is smiling down on you for sharing his love of history and exploring!
Thank you Brenda! This film would not have happened if it wasn’t for you!!! ♥️
Glad you made it in there Doug :) the history bites and pictures were awesome! did a great job on this video documentary :)
Thanks so much Janson! I’m hoping you will accompany me when I go back when the snow is gone. Appreciate you coming in 2022 and I look forward to doing it again in 2024 Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
Sounds good :)

You’re very welcome Sir. I hadn’t heard of it until about 5 years ago and that’s when my journey began with this project. Means a lot to me that you enjoyed it. 👍🏻😊
Thank you for researching and posting this. I lived in Cartier from 67 to 79 and never knew about this part of its history.
Awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!! It was very interesting for me to learn about this piece of history. 👍🏻
Awesome bud . History for many is only what their told today but there is a history never told , glad you did this.
Thank you so much Steve! If we don’t share this kind of thing their story dies with them. Appreciate you watching Buddy! 👊🏻👍🏻🍻
What a great adventure, Doug. Thank you for sharing it with us. Stay safe and stay warm.
Hi Sir I hope all is well with you ? atb

I took them up in the hotels speedboat, a Century Resorter waterski boat. The couple were very quiet and I think did not enjoy the ride much as it was a cloudy and chill day. I docked on a rickety wood and stone pier, fearful of gouging the boats mahogany on the not-so-well covered rocks.

Good stuff! You finally got there. Nature really takes over and covers up once-cleared land, making places seem unrecognizable. The basics of camp life were mostly wood in those days, and it all rots (cabins, bunk houses, mills). I see there was some steel bits here and there and somewhere there would be a can and bottle dump. That would be difficult to find but may yield some cool, old bottles. Your editing is great and the voice-over really enhances the video images and clips. The maps shown during the video give us a clear picture of where you are and add to the quality of your production. Sounds like you really did your homework and research on this one, Doug! All the Best to you!
Thanks Craig! I will definitely be going back and good look in different snow free conditions. Appreciate your kind words and support Brother!! 👍🏻👊🏻
I grew up not far from Cartier. My dad told us stories about these camps when I was growing up. Good job.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your experience. 👍🏻👊🏻
A really enjoyable video Doug. It's a great mission history and once you're on it you just want to see it through. You got there and that's what counts - you know the feeling of those past lives. I bet you just stood and gazed a while. Thanks Doug. Appreciate that. Mark
Thank you Mark and so well said. I did stand there and gaze and took time to reflect on why I was there. It was powerful. Appreciate you Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
@@PinetreeLine A real pleasure Doug. Yeah, I could feel the past here bro. Peace.
well done brother👌 Love the story, maybe a revisit in the spring to see what has been left behind. I'm sure this place would be a metal detector's dream to visit.
Thanks for the adventure Doug🍻
Thank so much Marc! Definitely have a revisit in mind. Hopefully Janson can come out and detect. Appreciate you watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻🍻
Nice job telling this interesting chapter of Canadian war history. 👌👍

Have you checked out the one that was in Kapuskasing? I live about 15 minutes from Cartier. This ws very interesting.

Absolutely interesting fact Dave. Thanks for sharing and for watching! 👍🏻👊🏻

Thank you Rob I will keep that in mind for sure. Appreciate you watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
You couldn't find the trail ? Someone had used chainsaws to open it up?
This isn’t a public trail with signs telling you where to go, it’s a non-maintained backcountry trail used for hunting, fishing and cutting firewood. The trailhead is hidden and leads you in a different direction away from the camp location and trusting that trail to take you to the area of the camp location was an issue. Someone used a chainsaw to open up an area of the trail close to a lake that’s no where near the camp area. The camp itself is not marked or shows any indication of its existence or location without extensive research. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and I hope you understand this was not as easy as it may appear to have been in your eyes.
Are you kidding me?!!
fascinating.
Don't forget to look into the disappearance of over 10 million able bodied men in the US in the 1931-1933 time period.
Yup, maybe some of our fellow Canadians are included as well.
