No comment on the instant coffee? , You must have been raised with the “If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all” . Works for me 😊

[@GerbenNZ]

I love how adversity isn't a detriment to your enjoyment out there. Way to go! To preserve the feeling of wilderness for others, I always cut stumps down as low to the ground as possible, so the ground vegetation can easily cover it. And if I can I put a few cuts in top of the stump to help it rot faster and not look so much like a cut tree. In "wildlife trees" (dead trees that are topped to a safe level so they're no threat to people/structures, but left standing for bugs etc. to live in) the top is often cut like a spiky crown to give them the illusion of having been snapped instead of cut. I may not put that much effort in, but I do the lite version of that whenever I can. It is just a nice thing to do for whomever comes to that same spot next year, making it not look so "touched by human hands".

[@MrIanJHoy]

I once heard about an explorer that learned a skill from natives in the arctic. Wet the bottom of the sled and that helps with friction once it freezes. Not sure that would matter as much with a plastic sled.

[@carlacameron4936]

Our family came to visit and tonight we all had supper together watching this intently! Waiting to see how you liked the tent and the stove! Love love love your adventures! Thank you Noah!

Fellow maritimer here! having a hot tent night next weekend this video getting me super excited! keep up the awesome work!

[@randmcnally.]

OH NO! AG-1 has gotten to even Noah and the Northern Scavengers 🤣 - I swear there is not one channel or podcast I follow that hasn't been caught in the expensive green blob that is AG-1. With all that said, glad to see the channel supported - the content deserves it.

[@manuelwebe]

Hi Noah, I am the guy who suggested putting snow on your coffee to sink the grains. In a freshly brewed cowboy coffee, one tablespoon of snow on top of a normal mug or travel glass would not cool it down much, believe me. And, if you really are a true coffee drinker, you would always prefer real coffee from the horrible, chemical instant stuff. Try it!. Anyway, great video as always. Thanks for sharing.

[@jb1934]

and i was the guy who said forget the snow, just use a spoon. all it takes is a tap and the grounds will stay down. having said that, the real cost of real coffee is having to carry a big heavy insulated mug so the coffee can steep for 10 minutes without cooling off. so for trips when I'm not just base-camping and load is an issue, i myself will drink instant. A lot of smart people have worked on instant coffee over the years, there are options besides taster choice that are passably good.

[@forestfirelight]

We use the GSI Ultralight Java Drip. It clips to your mug. Put the coffee in it, pour hot water and you have good coffee even when backwoods camping. We love it.@@jb1934

[@bonpecheur4565]

Well , I call present !

[@gbthecamper458]

Lived in Goose Bay Labrador for 3 years and travelled in those conditions with a snowmobile. Under the snow is slush which freezes in the tracks. I remember taking over 2 hours to get less than 2 kilometres. Brutal. I feel for you.

[@terrycorkum3472]

[@benreeves8541]

I could smell the wood smoke & fresh air! You really capture the essence and majesty of the East Coast Noah!

[@kearnsey64]

Oh no?! What a thing to finally get to your car and it’s buried! That sucks! Knowing you Noah from your adventures, your attitude is most likely “Whatever doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger!” See you on the next one!

[@jb1934]

not at all. he deliberately went out in a storm. not only was it forecast before he left, he also kept tabs on the weather by sat device to make sure it was developing as predicted. that was the whole point of the video! it's great to see a ton of snow out in the woods and all, but you can't have the storm chasing thing both ways...

[@francoisbillaut9980]

Meanwhile in Quebec, it's the driest inter ever!!!! Blue skies :) Enjoy!

Great to hear about AG1

[@philipewer3752]

Wow Noah. You’ve got all the ingredients for a great video… no pun intended… or is there? Excellent videography.

[@theflourishing]

This made me smile as I am sitting here watching this 1 day after another good few centimeters of snow fell overnight (around 30cm where I live in Nova Scotia). This time around a bit less disruptive than the one you are in from last week :) I was also pleased to read that Nova Scotia is designating 15 new provincial parks, and expanding 2 others.

[@Ianhurley54]

[@sherrierifenberg2199]

Hey Noah…good to see you again! I used to grind my own coffee and take a coffee pot…instant is remarkable! Love the snow! TY😎

[@Thenomadicbrewer]

It’s all about the places you go and what you’re willing to endure. I’ve lived in a small van in the Okanagan of BC for 23 months and it’s not ideal all of the time and that’s part of the adventure.

[@musingwithreba9667]

Ugh...2 hours of shovelling that, after all that snowshoeing thru slush 🥱 Slushshoeing actually 😂 I like that idea of the loops on the sled for attaching the gear ropes! I have a similar sled from Canadian Tire, that I put holes along the side to hook bunjies on, but I think the loops would be better. I will have to steal that idea. Thanks Noah! 😊

[@meredithlarkin9949]

I am always so excited when you release a new video of your latest adventure! Epic snowstorm ❤️❄️❄️ Love Northern Scavenger

[@jacobkosker9384]

It would be cool to plan this kind of trip in two stages. Initial scouting during autumn for locations to lay up a pile of cut firewood and put it hidden under cover for the return trip in mid-winter. Then having a cache really dried out wood would be a nice bonus and allow more time to explore and not sweat yourself chilly.

[@englishrosetj4585]

a way of dealing with condensation in a tent it a bag of open cat litter, it absorbs the extra water vapour really well.

[@CanadianSledDog]

I use a shovel called the Garant Yukon Snow Sleigh for my big driveway, during the storm I strapped it to the back of my 4Runner everywhere I went. I got stuck turning around in a ditch and moved about 3 cubic metres of snow in the blink of an eye to access my undercarriage and dig that out. Same day I also rescued a guy who got stuck in his driveway using that shovel.

[@johnclark9691]

Great stuff Noah once again you certainly know the wilderness and it reinforces the fact that you were born to do this Keep it up and be safe.

[@KCBarr1]

It's kind of funny, because when I read a news article about the snow storm on the east coast, and that the Cape Breton Highlands got over 100 cm of snow, I wondered what you might be doing. Now I know. They are forecasting another dump of snow in parts of the east coast in the next couple of days.

[@terrycorkum3472]

30 more just hit the Atlantic coat. I live an hr away. Not 1 snowflake.

[@KCBarr1]

Amazing how weather patterns work, eh?@@terrycorkum3472

[@CanadianSledDog]

Ain't no dry wood out there, except in the middle of a tree! The wood stove always takes forever to heat when you light it the typical way. If you fill it with pine twigs and bows instead, it will heat up almost instantly. I'm so glad you got out in this storm, I was busy shoveling the most snow I've shoveled in my life and then breaking that record for 3 days running! Oh the joys of human power and country driveways. PS cooling coffee down like that is an affront to the gods and a tree will fall on your tent if you do it. Cowboy coffee with floating grounds in it is just not done cooking yet lol smh.

[@g.w.moorman3887]

Great adventure! Maybe you should take along some ice fishing gear in case you REALLY get stuck and need some food.

[@keithosborne642]

Great video in not so great conditions..then again it all can't be sunshine and roses! Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@NadesikoRose]

I like the fact that the tent is light weight but don’t care that it doesn’t have a floor. So might be wise to pack a waterproof tarp to put over the floor to help keep things dry.

[@NorthernScavenger]

I suspect the reason for no floor is the safety concerns with having a stove inside

[@jimcraig5612]

Your adventures are always great but since the Eastern Shore video this past summer, I'm hooked. Just excellent. I love the use of the Walmart sled as your pulk.

The tent seemed to work out well and that was a big snow storm! It looked wet and heavy as well as deep. Your face when you tasted the instant coffee, hah! Get a small Primula for coffee, maybe? Better than drip or instant. Lightweight for the pulk or pack.

[@donsinclair7410]

Still shovelling in Pictou County three days after the second storm. Drifts 5 meters high in places.

[@dustymatthews8510]

I have a similar silnylon tent from seek outside. Have had it in sustained 30+ mph winds with little cover and had it do well. Slept in it down to below 0F/-18C. At those temps It's only useful as a wind break after the fire goes out, so I always pack my warmest sleeping bag. I live in Maine and never use it in spring and summer due to bugs, though I can buy a dedicated nest for it that would make it usable. The small footprint and ease of setup and teardown make it great for late season canoe trips too when the nights can get cold and longer. It's more comfortable to relax in the warm, well-lit tent and requires less wood processing than an open fire for comfort and cooking.

[@suezaple4950]

Nice thing about winter camping is NO MOSQUITOES !! If you are going to take that particular tent out for a longer trip you might want to think twice about it. That design has never gotten good reviews. Does not shed snow at all. Looking forward to your upcoming trip.

[@jimf1964]

That brings back memories. Every time there was a blizzard, my buddies and I, or sometimes just me, would jump in our cars and head off to the cottage and spend all day in the forest. Sometimes we’d camp out too. I’m super curious about the tent. I’ve been thinking about getting one for a while, but I’ve mostly only seen those awful, cheap Chinese ones. This one is a bit pricey, so I’d love to hear what you think of it. Especially if you’re going to use it a lot down the road.

[@NorthernScavenger]

I like that it's lightweight and portable, I don't like how wet it gets. I'll have a stronger opinion after our upcoming trip and will report back :)
