I’m 74 and my hiking and camping days are over. Until I found you several years ago. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you and be careful out there.
I'm 75, and I now live my camping days in watching videos, reminiscing and vicariously through my children and grandson. I am the free camping equipment stop for the family. But as far as your video, you guys had me loving you when I saw the PopTarts being heated in the stove...❤🙂👍
We love your videos. Especially those with Rachyl! We loved the ice skating! There is nothing like skating in the winter cold on a lake.. though never did that at those temps. Can’t imagine in 90k winds, with that windchill, way out in the boonies, in a small cabin with that small wood stove. Yikes. More videos please!
Our winters have become very good for skating. From December to February the temperatures usually sit around 0 C, and the lakes consistently freeze, thaw and re-set. Nature's zamboni :)
Love, love, love this one Noah & Rachel! Just darn jealous of the skating especially. I miss it so much 😢 Thanks for letting us glide along and that dinner looked amazing 💜 Barret
I spent plenty of 70 to 82 below nights in Fairbanks Alaska and my buddy and I and one more older gent was featured in the Daily Miner for riding our mountain bikes between 50 and 60 below. The Temps were easy to figure out because all Restaurants had a policy to get people out from under the bridges by offering free coffee below 50 below. Plenty of times we'd ride by an Eatery and it'd be packed. People called us crazy but anyone can dress right for those temperatures. I still have my Jacket that is too warm to wear around unless it's way below freezing.
I just discovered your channel and I wanted to let you know that I love your videos. Keep on keeping on. The serenity, peacefulness and your clear gratefulness for the beauty of the spots you respectfully borrow for a short time is lovely. Looking forward to watching more of these stolen magical moments in a time where we don’t appreciate enough what is freely ours to embrace and enjoy. Stay excellent buddy
I have been in one cabin since I came to America. Oh boy, what would I give to have my own cabin if I was there, I know what I would do some nice hot pasta Italian cheese six pack of Stella. Good company would be my wife nicely and cozy. Nothing like having a good place of pasta. Are you guys honestly nice oh just one other thing I forgot the Italian cheese damn
Lovely video. You've stayed in a ton of these back country cabins. You must have an idea of what works, what doesn't, features you'd like to see, layouts you prefer, materials you think work better than others, etc. It would be great if you built your own cabin, or crowd funded the construction of a new public cabin or something like that. That would be the tops. Or maybe just do a little doodle video where you draw out what you think the ideal back country camping cabin would look like and how it would be similar or dissimilar to other cabins you've stayed in. I'd find that really fascinating.
As kids we used to get nice smooth ice surfaces on the lakes for skating after some freeze thaw or rain in March, just in time for March Break. This early season ice is so unfamiliar but super cool! Glad to see the safety gear and tips on checking ice.
Lovely. Such wonderful country. As an old ice fisherman I wouldn't go out on ice that thin. When I was younger....you betcha. Too bad we don't get much ice in S. Michigan anymore.
Beautiful nighttime and skating footage! Still surprised at the 2"-3" ice thickness standard for skating. When I was a kid in the Maritimes, we always said 6" was the minimum - one of those things I've carried in my head unquestioned ever since. :-) It was a river we skated on, but a mile-wide one. Still, it would have been moving water underneath. Nice to see you carrying ice picks!
Thank you for mentioning the ice picks. I hardly ever see anyone on the ice with those. I fell through some pretty thick ice once, because there was a bit of a pressure ridge, which happens a lot on really big bodies of water, plus it was close to a totally non descript pier of lake, that I believe had a spring under it. Thank god I felt it start to crack, and had time to throw myself over and roll away before I went all the way in. I’ll never forget the sight of that water under me. I was wet to just below the waist. I walked back to the cabin, but my lands froze so solid that I couldn’t get up the stairs. Maybe my knees were too cold too, I dunno. I’ll never go over deep water with ice less than 4”. 3 is fine IF there are no big cracks , natural springs under, and all the other things you mentioned. Having said all that, looked like a nice little over nighter. It was so rare to have ice that was good for skating where I was, but when it was, it was the cooled thing to actually go somewhere on skates!
Beautiful area of our world...if I was 20 years younger I would be traveling there. Interesting dinner. The peace and quiet is appealing. I'll bet there is some great fishing there?
It’s always such a pleasure to see you both. This was short but definitely sweet❤ Hope to see ya soon as always be safe and God Bless. Lots of love from Ohio❤
I've watched a ton of these videos. When I was younger, I'd stay in a small log cabin room like structure. Nothing beats a good working wood stove. Those RV's, some have an electric fireplace, that's okay until the power goes out. My dads house was heated with a huge wood stove. Fireplaces, Wood stoves are the only way to go. The early settlers had it all figured out.
I'm envious. That is a thrilling, chilling winter outdoor adventure. I would be very willing. If I had the right clothing and gear, that is. Kudos for sharing the fun.
Cool video. Looks like fun. Underwater springs can be a dangerous concern. Also a great fishing spot. The water takes longer to freeze in such a spot. Unpredictable where they are if you dont know the lake. Be careful, that thin ice could be anywhere. Less than 8 inches and i test the ice continually on unfamiliar water.
Noted the Poptart dessert. EVERYTHING tastes good when you are out in the wild. In my youth I took many summer canoe trips in and around Algonquin and one summer something called Fizzies were all the rage…essentially fruit flavored Alka Seltzer. A staple on many of those was Red River. You either loved it or hated it and I was firmly in the latter camp. Viewed it as boiled bird seed. Nothing topped PB &J which we mixed together in single containers. Today it is chili oils, Asian spices, dried mushrooms and dumplings. Not complaining but boy have things changed in terms of tasty lightweight foods for camping. Love the videos. Seeing the newest one in my YT feed is always a treat, and the longer the better!
Katoohla or Hillsound Micro Spikes on the ice trails. They work and you will fall on your butt less often. Love your videos and Rachel is a tough adventurer!
That cabin is very similar to one I have in the bush here in Ontario. No electricity, no running water, and no indoor bathroom facilities. It is where I go to recharge myself.
TheBach was wonderful and was also the background music in a major movie a year or so ago. Does anybody remember what it was.? It was instantly recognizable, but I can’t remember from where!
That’s cold for Nova Scotia which is in southernmost Canada & has shorter, milder winters than most of Canada. Some of the temps in the posts must be factoring in windchill because the North American record is -81 (windchill excluded) @ Snag, Yukon.
My only complaint is that this video wasn't long enough.. Awesome video as always!!
Very nice
I’m 74 and my hiking and camping days are over. Until I found you several years ago. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you and be careful out there.
Hope you can get out someday. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
@@daltonblyth3890amen. Yes I've seen so many of our lords miracles

But as far as your video, you guys had me loving you when I saw the PopTarts being heated in the stove...❤🙂👍
I’m full of cancer and right you are his canoe trips are some of the best
I REALLY LIKE YOUR VIDEOS.

6:40 Hermoso
Very Nice.
I’m so jealous! That ice skating is tremendously beautiful and the open space makes it spectacular. The rock with the view precarious for sure.
Our winters have become very good for skating. From December to February the temperatures usually sit around 0 C, and the lakes consistently freeze, thaw and re-set. Nature's zamboni :)
You guys are awesome! Keep living the dream and taking us along.
Where did the two of you learn to skate like that, you’re both very good.
That boulder above the cabin!
Love, love, love this one Noah & Rachel! Just darn jealous of the skating especially. I miss it so much 😢 Thanks for letting us glide along and that dinner looked amazing 💜 Barret
What a nice discovery this channel from a fellow Canadian. Very well made I loved that video thanks for sharing it!
Really enjoyable. The matching red jackets was nice to watch in the skating clip.
best outdoors winter video I've seen this year!

may i add a hockey stick if you go through you have a stick to block the hole its a good back up

good wee vid
in Ireland if we get a hard frost it is a calamity

I love nothing more than being in my camp with wood stove going and it’s blowing snowing and cold outside. I’m lucky to be able to do this often.
Another great Nova Scotia video. Thanks
Well that looked like fun! Cool spot. So cold and windy. Was that a Pop Tart! 🤩. Great info on the ice safety.
Nice little cabin I have not been ice skating in years , Awesome video folks.
Love a cooking sesh segment!
Great Video, thanks!!!
wow very interesting experience friend
Thank you both.
Another great video! (although short, lol) The skating looked fantastic! And the meal looked great! Great job! Thanks!
I was at home in Greenville Maine we where at -26 with a windchill off -50-60 day i will not forget
Thats Fahrenheit -26
What a beautiful video. Captivating. The ice skating part was especially appealing. You lucky dogs.
As kids we used to get nice smooth ice surfaces on the lakes for skating after some freeze thaw or rain in March, just in time for March Break. This early season ice is so unfamiliar but super cool! Glad to see the safety gear and tips on checking ice.
That ice skating looks like so much fun!
Winter is so beautiful if you know where to look. A cozy fire helps. Thanks for the trip. That erratic made me ecstatic!
Awesome outting I haven't been skating for a long while and haven't been on a pond I forever brought back a lot of memories. Thanks
Great video,great skating,sure looked enjoyable and a very nice spot,thanks for sharing Noah and Rachel and stay safe.
You’s take us to the coolest places❤️❄️
Ice skating is my such wishlist, but unfortunately i live in tropic country 😭
WOW... loved the skating, my favourite thing to do and NS is not the best for it.
What fun .I remember skating on lakes in the interior ofBC.Thanks for sharing your video .
Enjoyed this video. So nice especially to see you both Ice Skating.
Great music selection, and that twilight view was stunning. Awesome as always N&R!!
Awesome vid Noah thanks for sharing the wife n i love skating be safe n warm fr Ont Can.
Lovely. Such wonderful country. As an old ice fisherman I wouldn't go out on ice that thin. When I was younger....you betcha. Too bad we don't get much ice in S. Michigan anymore.
That looks like a fun trip. I have done a few trips like this in Minnesota and Alaska. Awesome!
Beautiful winter video! I loved watching you skate on the lake, Rachyl and Noah❄️🌬️
Nothing like a cozy cabin on the coldest of days. 👌
so envious of the skating...amazing video as always!
Beautiful video. A great winter to be getting out and enjoying it!
Another great video that got to tag along with you both. Thanx so much for allowing us to do that!
Looking forward to your next outdoor adventure.
awesome!

The ice quality always plays into the equation. Black ice is the strongest, and I feel more comfortable when it's a bit thinner
Thank you for mentioning the ice picks. I hardly ever see anyone on the ice with those.

Having said all that, looked like a nice little over nighter. It was so rare to have ice that was good for skating where I was, but when it was, it was the cooled thing to actually go somewhere on skates!
I suppose it just takes falling through the ice once to question it's safety
That was absolutely wonderful! Was that Bach while you were skating? I got emotional, lol🥲
Just a little on the chilly side....but what an amazing way to get to a cabin! Awesome!!
Fantastic video as always.
Nice to see you both enjoying another Nova Scotia backcountry adventure.
Thanks for taking us along.
Cheers
Beautiful area of our world...if I was 20 years younger I would be traveling there. Interesting dinner. The peace and quiet is appealing. I'll bet there is some great fishing there?
There is some good trout fishing come spring
Amazing video. Thanks for taking us along.
Oh my Gosh!!!! Love this Noah,Rachel.what fun I was scared and So excited to see yalll Ice skate

It’s always such a pleasure to see you both. This was short but definitely sweet❤ Hope to see ya soon as always be safe and God Bless. Lots of love from Ohio❤
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks.

Love love this! Miss winter skating. This is fantastic ❤
Don't understand how you two love the bitter cold so!! I can barely walk out to my van to go to work!!
Hey look at that every body a mail box in the woods really cool 😎
amazing trip THANKS

that is awesome, but i would be shitting myself skating on that pond haha
Very cool adventure guys, keep them coming…. Cheers
One of the best ways to see a lake. Enjoyable watch.👍
Agreed
Really like your channel just watch one of the video from 7 years ago, kind of makes me want a holiday in Nova Scotia❤
Noted the Poptart dessert. EVERYTHING tastes good when you are out in the wild. In my youth I took many summer canoe trips in and around Algonquin and one summer something called Fizzies were all the rage…essentially fruit flavored Alka Seltzer. A staple on many of those was Red River. You either loved it or hated it and I was firmly in the latter camp. Viewed it as boiled bird seed.
Nothing topped PB &J which we mixed together in single containers.
Today it is chili oils, Asian spices, dried mushrooms and dumplings. Not complaining but boy have things changed in terms of tasty lightweight foods for camping.
Love the videos. Seeing the newest one in my YT feed is always a treat, and the longer the better!
I'm with you on PB & Js. Those will always be a staple
Ah, root beer Fizzies! Loved them when I was a kid.
Katoohla or Hillsound Micro Spikes on the ice trails. They work and you will fall on your butt less often. Love your videos and Rachel is a tough adventurer!
Another good option for traction is something called Yak Trax
Heck yea!!
Greetings from Indonesia... Your dinner similar with a dish in Indonesia call "siomay" Especially with peanut sauce... Nice cabin by the way
that skating was great
Nice skates
Gorgeous!😊
The images around 9:45 are so beautiful. Amazing job. Just found this channel and already love it. Keep on going, stay safe!
Nothing like a wood stove awesome awesome awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wonderful video. Thanks!
That’s a really cool stove
Crazy, we had a week straight of -50+ here in Southern Minnesota this past February... Feels like time stops when it's that cold
Love it AND the dinner ❤
Hi, from Atlanta Ga ❤
Could you do a video on what gear you use to keep you warm?
That cabin is very similar to one I have in the bush here in Ontario. No electricity, no running water, and no indoor bathroom facilities. It is where I go to recharge myself.
So cool! Thanks!
Thật là thú vị và tuyệt vời
Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều
After dinner when you walked out on the lake at night. when I saw the sky it was like almost you understand the meaning of life. truly beautiful
THE Bach was a nice touch. Looked like a great time!
TheBach was wonderful and was also the background music in a major movie a year or so ago. Does anybody remember what it was.? It was instantly recognizable, but I can’t remember from where!
Oh my gosh, what a great video!!!
That wind chill was brutal!
That’s cold for Nova Scotia which is in southernmost Canada & has shorter, milder winters than most of Canada. Some of the temps in the posts must be factoring in windchill because the North American record is -81 (windchill excluded) @ Snag, Yukon.
