V7E10: The Allure of Nova Scotia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- This week, I travel throughout western Nova Scotia, to enjoy coastal communities, local fare, and to wander in search of primitive roads. Time in the kayak is inevitable, as I happen upon numerous secluded lakes. I also enjoy some hiking and camping at Kejimkujik, and finally fix the troublesome sway-bar on the Jeep.
With thousands of lakes, the norm is all by yourself. NS is a special place. We summer in SW Nova Scotia,on the bay of Fundy.
Awesome!! Thank you for doing this!
Stumbled on to this video and glad that I did. I live in rural Nova Scotia and can understand your craving for such environment. Keep the videos coming. Well done and good luck.
Welcome to Atlantic Canada! Glad you're enjoying my neck of the woods :)
Back to the Future movies never get old! I look forward to your video each week. I found your channel not long ago and started at the beginning and have watched all your videos. Thank you for allowing us to follow your life.
CORONA chillin' with your videos-cheers
I was driving home from visiting the South Shore of Nova Scotia while you were making this video. I plan to show my husband this vid as I am trying to talk him into moving out there. Pure bliss. Thanks! You got yourself another subscriber.
Hey Chris, enjoy Newfoundland, it’s my favorite place in Canada beside Cape Breton. You should really travel around the Cabot Trail while you are here and explore the highlands of Cape Breton! Best part of Canada!
Chris - on the weekends that I have my daughter, (she’s 6 years old) - we like to watch your channel. It’s become a Friday night favorite. She calls you the Orange Jeep Guy! We feel like we are on the adventure with you. We both enjoy it very much. Please keep them coming brother. Take care.
Alex Cazanas jejeje you just took the words of my mouth 😁😁, the only difference is that my boys are 15 and 19 years old... we love camping and explore here in Venezuela 🇻🇪 👍🏻👍🏻
Ha! My son is 8yrs old, and refers to this channel as the "Orange Jeep Guy" too!
First video I've watched from you. Really enjoyed your relaxed style. Nova Scotia looks like a beautiful place, must visit one day. ...subbed.
Was quite happy to see this appear in my recommended videos, as I grew up in Kingston!
Also lived in Lunenburg for a summer as well, what a coincidence!
Amazing views. and so much open land. Thanks!
Awesome video. Cool to see Jeep updated the seal design on the electronic disco.
Love the video Chris. I'm native to Nova Scotia and still impressed as I learn of new places I have not explored.
I'm a dodge Chrysler Jeep tech and have been on a course or two with Craig, very nice fella.
Hi Chris you are an inspiration. I watch and look forward to every weeks video, you are living a true freedom lifestyle. I'm retired and setting up my 015, 2 Door Jeep Wrangler for overland adventure. I just got back from 3 weeks in overland adventure north of Lake Superior in Ontario Canada,Ive been doing this every summer for the past 3 summers, and every trip I learn what I need to make these trips more comfortable and convenient.I'm now installing stronger overland suspension springs to hold weight, and I'm installing a roof rack and roof top tent. I no longer want to set up ground tents and live off of ice coolers,so a 12 volt fridge-freezer and solar battery with solar panel are in my future as well.I loved your BC footage and I am really liking the east coast Nova Scotia adventures as well. I'm planning on moving to Northern BC or possibly the east coast. I really like the mountains of BC, I also really like the east coast rugged geography as well. Which coast has the more off road trails and opportunity for wilderness camping BC or east coast Provences ???
Anyway I love your videos and they are a huge inspiration to myself and my girlfriend who equally loves overland adventure and wilderness camping.
Do you ever hear from Jen, keep in contact, I wonder what she is up to and how she and her dog are doing??
Again waited all week,never disappointed!!!!!!!best thing on tv .you should have a discovery show!!!!
Agreed not disappointing, but no, then THEY will dictate formatting.
Even then you’d be limited to only so many episodes.keep up the great videos!
I have lived in Nova Scotia long enough to complete my Pharmaceutical Science PhD degree and JUST finished so have a lot of free time on my hands until I start my career in the fall.. I was originally in BC where there are countless miles of trails for overlanding.. I have not been able to explore Nova Scotia yet, but last year my brother gave me his 2018 Toyota 4Runner Off Road (because he went back to Japan where we are from) and yesterday I accepted delivery of my new Land Rover Defender X, so i'm ready for some overlanding!.. I just need to learn where the good trails are
Hola, grettings from Colombia South america. I really enjoy very much your videos, and i love that your dont use any music backround, just the sound of nature.... keep it up!..
If I was a traveling man like yourself, I'd spend every summer in Canada. Wow !
I'm really glad you're enjoying Canada have you ever been down there looks like a beautiful place I'm out at the other end of the country right now in British Columbia Canada such a beautiful place.👍👍🍁😀
My absolute favorite UA-cam Channel
My favorite too.
🎥🎥🎬 awesome footage Nova scotia's beautiful
Awesome man! Great filming!
You're such an amazingly natural narrator, funny too. Is your monologue totally off the cuff? Still loving your videos.
To bad i did not know you were in Nova Scotia a few weeks ago, I could have shown you some nice trails and spots to set up camp.
As someone who lives around these places. Yeah finding random gates blocking 5 minute long dirt paths and have no signage warning you your about to waste your time/gas is pretty common... Then again id just ride around it on the 4wheeler but whatevs. lol
Found your video and channel by chance. As I watched, much to my surprise, the Walmart you slept at outside of Bridgewater is next door to my house! Small world eh? :-)
A jeep and a kayak in Nova Scotia.. you have to stop in Meat Cove, Cape Breton, honestly one of the most picturesque places on the planet
You vids are boring, yet I watch of you all the time, every week. Definitely, mostly jelly. Safe travels
$1000 for laziness nice! LOL just kidding. Love your videos keep up the good work.
Boy, I’d never dump that kind of cash on Mopar crap. So many better options
I don't think I've ever seen Chris reply to a single comment. It would probably help the channel grow faster since it's grown so slow for all the good content.
Another great adventure in Nova Scotia Chris and looking forward to other beautiful locations in the Canadian Province.
Your videos always entertain me, simple with no music but still a great watch. You're gonna soon be bored exploring every corner of the US of A and Canada, maybe overseas next?
you should get a mountain bike, put it next to the kayak.
Where did you get your roof top tent? I love it!
John Vavra his top is an Ursa Minor.
Chris, again a great video. Thanks!! Best regards from The Netherlands 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸✌️
As always the content you produce is peculiar! As many of the other folks, I look forward in watching where you have been the past week. I am wondering if you can share with me information on the collapsible blue pot you use to boiled water for your pasta. I love to make a hardy pasta dish while overlanding. I have not been able to find a collapsible pot. Keep up the adventure and be safe!
Roberto Rodriguez Try “Sea to Summit”
Great episode like normal! I love that you're traveling north when the weather's nice. #LifeGoals
très belle vidéo
You are always out in area's where the fishing would be excellent....you should learn how to fish you could very well sustain yourself for days doing that and plus it's healthy. Hey was that poop on your shovel lol.
Amazing video, it was great to help you out. Good luck and save travels from Dartmouth Dodge.
If you get up to Cape Breton Island and the Cabot Trail make sure that you drive way north to Meat Cove. You need to spend more time along the coast visiting the little fishing villages. You have been seeing areas that look just like inland Maine or New Brunswick or northern Ontario or the UP of Michigan. Hit the coastline! Fun watching you.
I've been following you from the beginning. For someone like me you are a (Can't find the word) for a person I look up to. I own a 95 Explorer the 2 door version. With the back seat down there is enough space for me to stretch my 6 foot 264 pound frame all the way out without having to curl up even a minuet amount. Unfortunately for me despite the fact that the floor is carpeted trying to sleep on it is the equivalent of trying to sleep on a slab of solid granite. At the age of 58 my back don't tolerate hard surfaces.I know you spend every night in your pop top tent I am wondering if it has any cushioning or if you added after market cushioning?
Great video Chris looked like a great week!
You missed one of the icons of Nova Scotia in the town of Lunenburg, that being the Bluenose ll which was constructed as a replica of the Bluenose l, one of the most famous schooners ever built. The workmanship on the Bluenose ll is just amazing.
Now I want to go swimming in Nova Scotia!
I haven't seen you eat any sea food, you have to have a Lobster Roll!
Great video
on a technical note, do you use all auto settings on your camera, or do you use manual and then color grade in post?
Thanks
Nice job Chris
You should do a video on getting your cholesterol checked
You are like the Buddha of Backroads! Spreading peace and love every where you travel! You make me smile, so thank you!
Awesome 😁
i was just there early July... great places to visit. If you are still there look at "the Ovens" Park for a place to camp with some great sea side clifs with a walk way to explore them.
The scenery you are coming across is outstanding. Great video. Glad the rig is all fixed up.
My wife and I really enjoy your videos Chris. Thanks for not adding cheezy music and keeping it always G rated. Kind of rare these days. I was side lined myself six years ago due to a back injury. These videos allow us to enjoy something we'd love to do but aren't able to through your eyes. Your way of overlanding is just the way I'd want to do it. Be safe and seek healthy menu ideas from Marko - San Diego Jeep Club ; )
Glad you’re having a great time. Wish I’d known you visited Keji . I’m only an hour and a half away! If you’re coming back this way let me know. You’ve got a place to stay in the country, with all the trimmings! Oh, we’ve got FAST Internet!
Great content as always. I’ve been enjoying watching you travel through Nova Scotia as some of my Cajun heritage is from there. I’ll make it up there one day. Safe travels.
Like below, waited all week and am never disappointed. Keep your episodes to yourself, though. Corporate would just mess up the format and content. I appreciate you and what you do. I would rather watch your 30 minutes every week than anything on TV.
I've lived in Nova Scotia a few times over the years and actually had the pleasure of traveling all over the southern end when working for Fisheries & Oceans - Small Craft Harbors doing structure inspections on wharves & skidways. There is a good reason why many people visit & revisit & then stay in Nova Scotia. Great video.
Great video again! I'm just getting into overlanding and live in Nova Scotia. Is there any way you can privately share some of the camping locations?
WOW!! You really stumbled over some gems last week!!!
One more great video Chris! How beautiful is Nova Scotia! I will sure visit that region some day. Carry on with these great adventures, I look forward to them every week.
Are you certain that old cabin didn't have WiFi? That was hilarious. 😁😁😁👍🙏
Chris,
I know it's too late now to offer a better/less expensive sway bar "fix", but my local 4WD shop (RockYour4X4) replaced my front disconnect (I had the same issues as you did) and replaced it with an all mechanical sway bar system. The only "down-side" is you have to remember to reach under the front bumper and twist a knurled dial to disconnect/reconnect the sway bar's action. The replacement was called "No Limits Sway Bar Disconnect" from EVO mfg. for around "$100. Happy trails!
The EVO No Limits replaces the electric actuator so you can DISCONNECT the swaybar but is still dependent on the OEM return-spring to return to the CONNECTED position. If you have a failed actuator the EVO gets you fixed. But if you have the problem Chris had (and that I have) the actuator is not the problem, it still works, and I can still disconnect, but it struggles to reconnect. The problem is all the gunk in the "gear box" from water intrusion creates more friction than the OEM spring can overcome. If EVO offered a replacement return-spring with more force it would be better but I'm afraid that if you are submerging the swaybar, you will eventually have too much gunk and rust and it will become seized. I have removed mine to clean it and re-grease it two times now.
Happy your back on the road and doing well. You make my weekend. Hope to meet you back at ok 4 wheel drive.👍
Excellent. I enjoy following along with you!
Catching a ferry huh. You're going to Newfoundland!
I like that Sir Edmund Hillary quote.
Hey Chris! loving following your journey. Really inspiring. Ever thought about fishing the many lakes you come across?
A slice of tomato on the grilled ham and cheese is a must,try it.
Why would anyone ruin a perfectly good grilled ham & cheese with a slice of tomato ? That sounds disgusting, like pineapple on a pizza.
Awesome vid, thanks Chris🙏👍
Nice way of viewing the world. I enjoy your trips.
Free pie, from your mum = 0 calories. enjoy.
I love the channel and your adventures but it kills me you dont have a fishing pole. I bet there are some great fish in those lakes. Cheers.
One of your best episodes EVAR . looks like I’m buying a kayak ! Great videography. You looked like you really enjoyed this week . Will join your PATREON when I get up as I now watch all your vids in the dead of the night with ear buds . Cheers buddy
I dont believe in it because no one has ever gotten a clear video or picture even with todays high tech, but have you ever seen bigfoots or signs of one, I have never heard any you tuber overlander mention it, I ask because you search out the most remote places, laugh hard because I am as I write this
just think if you had that toyota or a bigger rig like you always talk about , you would never be able to explore those smaller roads, love the video, should visit the lost treasure island
Another great episode Chris. This info is a few weeks too late as you suffered with mosquitos a while back but, Amazon has small solar powered bug zappers. Leave it out in the sun during the day and hang it up in your bunk at night. No more slapping and clapping at bugs in your bedroom while you're trying to get some shut-eye.
I think you might be the only UA-camd who’s done Nova Scotia. Looking forward to seeing it
Back to the Future. My favorite movie. One day I want to own a Delorean.
You should have did some trails around Cape Breton very amazing and beautiful sites we have especially the Cabit trail
Nova Scotia will be added to the bucket list. The $1k to fix the sway-bar was worth it in my book. Convenience!
Love your show!
Question, why don’t you have a fishing pole and fish for your meals?
Keep on 4wheeling it🍺🥂🤙🏼
Not sure if I've EVER seen him interact with fans on here....
Harvey McCarter he has a few times!
Bennett is a genius!!
Bad enough he’s trespassing and tramping all over private land. It wouldn’t be cool for a non resident alien to get caught fishing without a license. Probably get a $1000 fine and have his vehicle seized.
*_that was so beautiful Chris!!!!_*
Welcome to our Province. Found your channel by whim, but have subscribed for the good content.
Tell your friends about the great off-roading we have here. And if you ever wanted guided tours we have ATV clubs, Jeep, snowmobile, and off-highway motorcycle groups just itching to show off some of their favorite spots.
-Ruyguy8888 (Annapolis Valley Resident - NS)
As a Haligonian (native of Halifax) love the content. Should head to the Annapolis Valley and Cape Breton next time.
Shouldn't it be Halifaxian?
@@patriciajames6601 common misconception but we are known as Haligonians
I do hope you go all the way to Meat Cove. It's one of my favourite spots in Canada.
Great episode fella:D
Just found your channel. Great video of Nova Scotia. I was born here, adopted and taken to the US. I moved back forever in 2008. I can tell you why you were the only one at the beach location and why you got a spot at Keji. The ferry that runs from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, (where I am) to Maine, is not running this summer. That's due to a change of ports on the Maine side from Portland back to Bar Harbor. Updates to the Bar Harbor terminal need to be done before the ferry can sail from here to there. So the number of tourists is very low this year. So you came at a good time to find super spots to camp. Normally you need reservations for Keji way ahead of time. Will check your channel for your visit to Newfoundland. Look out for those humungous moose there lol.
Oh Canada... Chris thank you for let us see how beautiful it is.
Very good cinematography showcasing the beauty of the province. If you ever visit again, Peggy's Cove is a more than worth-while stop
And turns out the tech who replaced your sway bar disconnects is an old friend of mine - heck, he helped build my Jeeps! Awesome! 👍
Hey love the channel.. question- where was that location at 13:00 mins in? The lake beach spot.
My favorite thing about Friday!
lol watching Back to the Future.
Glad you enjoyed our province. Hope your trip through NL is going well.
Great videos! When I have done solo trips I stay in my Honda Pilot Micro Camper and hike and fly fish. The thing I have noticed that is the hardest is being alone. Would you comment on your strategies to deal with loneliness. Thanks!
Beautiful country...
Thank Chris for taking us along.
👌👌🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👏🇨🇦
Best part of the end of the week!
You may have mentioned this in another episode but what brand of headlamp do you use in camp looks like it shows good light and would be good for me. Thanks really enjoy the videos
