Visiting my sons tonight and they are both big Formula one fans and we were watching a race, and I thought about you and realized I hadn't seen a video in while so decided to check in , hope all is well and have a great weekend.

This was quite educative. Thank you for this video.

I’m in and around Ottawa but I reiterate sumac for tea or lemonade and here indigo milk cap and saffron milk cap are easy to identify and forge. Of course I don’t eat them raw❤ Also recently came upon bilberries which you can pick right off and nibble on and they are delicious and healthy in vitamin C and I’m sure many other nutrients❤ Then there are yummy Saskatoon berries!❤

Did you filter your water? A friend and I did it mid July 2023 during heavy rains and started at the Fundy Trail gate. Love the footpath! Wish our packs were only 30 pounds. We started off at 37.6 pounds. Dehydrated our own meals. The Nepisiguit Trail is another good one to do

Maybe should try out rose hip tea

This was awesome! Very informative. Looking forward to foraging for some now! Thank you!

Moose actually thrive in environments with intensive forest management practices such as clearcutting. Young forests that clear cutting creates are ideal browsing habitat for moose in summer and winter. Moose do not require 'Old Growth' to survive winter but need softwood cover older than 20 years. In neighbouring provinces and states such as New Brunswick and Maine, the moose population destiny is some of the highest in the world because of intensive logging and the abundant early successional habitat it creates. The decline of Mainland Moose in NS is because of the high deer population that have been encroaching on moose habitat. This increase in the deer population is due to warming winters with less snowpack. NS already has quite mild winters compared to the rest of northern North America. This has allowed for very high winter survival rates for deer. Deer spread the brain worm parasite to Moose. This happens when a secondary host such as a snail or a slug is accidently ingested by a moose while browsing, after that snail or slug was in contact with Deer scat. Alternative forest harvesting methods are now being implemented on NS crown lands that create mulit-aged stand structures, like shelterwood and selection harvesting methods. Clearcutting is still implemented on high production softwood plantations. This forest management strategy will lead to a greater diversity of habitat types. All the best. Hopefully moose can make a comeback in NS soon.

For a more scenic walk, instead of taking the gravel road, you can take the Nora Bernard Trail, which continues on to the McCready Trail. When you come out to the gravel road from the McCready Trail, turn right and catch the Hollingsworth Trail along the reservoir.

I have not tried Labrador tea, thank you for showing this, now I need to go collect some leaves and give it a try! I like to forage Chaga for tea during my winter/early spring hikes and mushrooms in the spring/summer/fall. I have taken a couple of mushroom ID’ing courses and stick to the ones I know well and don’t have a deadly look alike. Lobster mushrooms, chanterelles and oysters are my typical finds. The others I shy away from just in case but love trying to identify them. Last year I collected spruce tips in the spring and made spruce tip syrup, so delicious! And I collected dandelion flowers and made a jelly, it tastes very much like honey. So yummy! Sumac is another great find and it’s all over. Sumac lemonade and drying sumac as a spice are both wonderful! I really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing!

Foraging is one skill I wish I was better at. Especially mushrooms 🍄. A few years ago there was a guy in this area who was supposed to have been a expert at it picked the wrong plant and died so after that I really got gun shy. I can identify most berries actually might harvest some blue berries today Labrador tea I can identify but I've never tried to make, wasn't sure the best procedure, until now lol. Definitely be giving this a try this fall. I know for spruce tea you don't boil your the tips because you would lose the vitamin content, or so I've been told. I just bring my water to a boil, then move from the direct heat and add the spruce tips and let it steep for a while. I feel learning this from a Innue woman is a great source. Great instructional video, Thanks. Hope you have an awesome week.

Another great hike ❤ Thanks for sharing interesting information about the place you are at 🫶

Hi !! Sitting here watching your videos with your cousin Blaine ❤ I’m a hiker too !! Great videos 😊 we should do a hike together sometime !!

I didn't know about those trails. Would you say the Southside trail might be suitable for people in wheelchairs and maybe pushing a baby stroller? I will have to check these trails out! Thank you for another great video!

Thanks for the video! Recently I see a lot of information about Atlantic provinces and they are beautiful ❤

Loved this video! We went for a family hike last summer and it was great! Thanks for the memories ❤

Hopefully the Deer can read 📚 😅. Yeah when species are introduced it can upset the while apple cart. While the falls were still beautiful, I have a feeling those waterfalls would be impressive if it was in the spring when water levels are high, if its like here on the island its been very dry lately and water levels are extremely low. Jacobs ladder quite the climb, it would take me longer lol. I would need about a half dozen boiled eggs to fill me up maybe more lol, I do love boiled eggs though never thought to take them hiking lol. Great place to wander hike for sure. Hope you have an awesome weekend.

We had a picnic there in the Spring this year, but it was very muddy and wet and some of it was under re-construction, so we didn't get to see much of it. We will have to go back now that it looks so nice again!

Try a drone a 50 or 100 Meters where are the canso Wolfville Truro high points

Awesome! ❤

Nepolinic France , before telegraph,they had a system of ,it would remind you of,a windmill ,they were beacons maniacal arms 4 or 5 k away like semaphore , various colors and patterns, visible in Day light, good weather with field glasses,, where is next high point sightlines towards canso Wolfville Truro, interesting theory

You are a fearless and powerful woman!! That had me holding my breath just watching the video. Glad you had fun doing that!!

WOW, that was awesome Congrats !!! Maybe when I was a tad younger LOL. Hope you have an awesome week, safe travels

I spent many years traveling to.and from Fogo Island in Newfoundland (and others) for work and was always a horrible feeling to top the hill and see the ferry moving away from the dock lol. Especially if it was the last one for the day lol. Guess five minutes not bad to wait lol. Great informative video, scenes are awesome. Especially at the top of ALL those stairs lol, also from the other look outs. Gotta love a bedrock beach. The icing on the cake had to be the balugas. We saw some lage whales today in Twillingate NL. Hope you have an awesome week.

Beautiful video. Breathtaking views. Enjoyed watching the whole video. Thanks for sharing. 👍2

Now I want to go there! I loved the beluga whales!

Dawny. Thank you for the video. I am thinking about using the AllTrails app on my upcoming hikes in the Dolomite. However, I can't easily run a test now since it's too hot to hike. I have a question about the app. Do I not need to download the map first? Otherwise, how can the map come up without wifi and cellular service? And AllTrails requires membership for downloading maps. Thanks.

Beautiful! Thanks for the interesting facts ❤

What a beautiful place to see! Loved the video as always!

I envy that statue a bit, always looking at such beauty 🤩

Wow, Dawn. What a beautiful area and history of the statue was amazing. Im also out of breath just watching you navigate this trail system.

Those crosses can be seen from the train in the Mountains and they are so beautiful at night! I will always remember my class trip in grade 7 to Quebec City and seeing those beautiful crosses with their pretty white lights! This was a great video, thanks for the memories!

I spent a lot of time in Montreal for work and never got the chance to do much venturing around like that, regret now I didn't take more advantage of it. Thanks for taking us along. Yeah those communication towers aren't all that attractive, I spent a lot of time around them in my career as a Telecommunications technician, not in Montreal that was another purpose lol. Hope you have an awesome weekend.

The alltrails + map seems good but it doesn't show all the campsites. Can we sleep anywhere we want? The map you showed doesn't seem that good from what I understand. We want to start at fundy national park visitor center and do the full 64 km. Its more than 21 km until the end of fundy national park and the real start of the fundy footpath trail. Is there a campsite close to where we enter the footpath trail after fundy national park are its still a long way? We saw there's campsites just at the end of the fundy national park before going on the footpath trail but I guess we need to pay for them? Thank you

I've never heard of this. It's certainly interesting. I wonder why the walls are so thick? Thanks for your excellent work.

they look like old early 1800's foundation walls like I find in the woods of maine

They are not 200 yrs old. Try more like 2,000 yrs old . We have ancient walls like that in NY too. It's not a myth....its more like a cover up. The Ancient Phoenicians were in the Americas in ancient times . Sheep pen theory is a cover up theory.

WWI fortifications are not a mystery. . .

Maybe the foundation of a home? Wooden floors, walls and roof would be rotted away by now. Just a thought

Great video, very informative as usual. Lots of hours of lifting for that wall for sure, I agree with you the lower look off at the better view. I'm thinking that number 7 highway would be a scenic drive. You would think a Saturday in May before the bugs came out there would be more people lol. I bet the salmon museum would be interesting. Have a great weekend.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍1

Love it. Ayup Rolly. How did you get the pics from above?

Good one Dawn. Your camera angles are cool.

its so pretty up there. You have some cool friends, thanks for moose info

Interesting adventure Dawny. What's with these diseases in big game animals in Canada and the U.S.? Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is in many states in the U.S. now. This "brain worm" problem in game is something I've never heard about. I stopped hunting around 2011 after hunting about 35 years for Pennsylvania White Tail deer and didn't have to worry too much then about CWD in our area. It's a different world today. The old stories from many decades ago of family outings, camping, and hunting adventures are pleasing to read because of the better conditions they had, and families were more committed to staying together and making things right.

Loved this one and Raffy looks different when he is in the wilderness!!

Do folks use those lean toos for shelter/sleeping? I love the game of thrones splinter chair!

Dawney you are so hot!! Id love to adventure with you 💕

Those walls are incredibly thick for a sheep pen. Where I am now, northern UK, I've got similar sheep and cattle pens all around me, but very few if any have walls that thick despite being made from similar size and shape rocks and with much taller walls. It's also strange the walls are so low. Our sheep pens are at least1.5m to 2m tall, to prevent them jumping out, especially when lambs stand on the back of their mothers and leap. What they DO remind me of is quarry buildings, specifically the explosive storage buildings, which are built robustly. But again, with waist-height walls, that doesn't make much sense. Miner's shacks are usually quite low but these are superlow considering there's bedrock so the innner floor level cannot be lower than outside levels. Wierd. And the walls have strangely level tops, more level than any agricultural pen I've ever seen. Makes me think they were built under strict discipline conditions, so possibly military. I can imaging a sargeant-major bellowing orders to "get that top level my lad". But no obvious firing positions - hmm.

My wife and i are very interested in what kind of a drone you use!! Would you mind sharing the brand and model??

Great informative video. What an awesome idea to stock a pond to teach kids and people how to fish.) The BOW is an excellent program from what I've been hearing of course I can't take it LOL. That looks like a very educational hiking area. It almost looks like a campground that was abandoned with all those side trails being campgrounds that have grown in. The importance of checking to see where your blue dot is at any time LOL. I'm not good at trees I know the basics but the Huge tree that you suspect is hemlock was all alone compared to other around it must have been planted ? You're right at that 10:30 point the forest is too dense, I agree too many trees together. That's what I always find with spruce they grow so thick they would grow much better if thinned and the standing trees would grow bigger. Around here it's the same way now we will find a huge Pine Tree standing alone because we are unable to harvests any pine tree now. I agree with you that the lumber companies take priority over us the general public . they are able to go in and flatten a area , where if they thinned the forest it would grow so much better. Nice playground for the kids, my granddaughter would love the muddy puddle best of all LOL All you need is a tarp to throw over the top and be good for a night for sure. Have a great weekend.
