Up River to Rustic Off-Grid Cabin (100-Year-Old Ranger Outpost)

[@darlenehalliday9455]

I have hearing about this rangers cabin for years. My husband was happy that you answered a question on his mind, was the cabin still there. We were very amused that you read his note. My husband Bruce, his brother Mark and few friends made the "Tent Dweller" voyage every year for many years. Thank you

[@CatherineElizzabeth]

As a single mum of two children (16 & 9 years old), I watch these videos knowing that one day soon they’ll be old enough so I can go on these adventures and find out who I am! To be alone and at one with nature sounds and looks like a dream! It may not seem much to some but I have been a ‘mum’ my whole life (since I was 16) and I’ve waited many years to experience this! Anyway, I will enjoy watching videos like this until my time comes. Thanks for sharing 🌲🌎

Spent the weekend at this cabin! It is a great trip. We paddled the chain of lakes to get there. Awesome spot.

[@Dragons_Novel]

My uncles 'owned' such camps 'up river' in Guysborough County. They had 99-year leases. They fished and hunted out of them and left them open for others who needed a place to stay. One uncle signed over his lease to my brother. He, several other brothers and nephews stay there often. It's a lovely spot up on a hill overlooking a river. Camp logs are the best reading material. The 'up river' camp has one as does ours on the ocean. The log books start in the early 1990s. You're right: there's a lot of stories and alcohol drunk in these amazing places. Thanks for the tour. You make me want to trade my row boat in for a canoe and hit the rivers. On second thought, I'll keep the row boat for the ocean and get a canoe next summer.

[@carolwilson9341]

The old log cabins off the beaten track bring back great memories. We found one many years ago near where we live in a Provincial park. We used to canoe quite often to the area. It was on an island and privately owned but they left the main living area open. It was rustic but we had a fireplace, a big table and a shelter from bugs and rain and a spot to spend a few days and explore the adjacent lakes and hills. There was a visitors book with fascinating stories to read and add to, and a collection of paperbacks to read. We no longer can do canoe trips but I will cherish the memories.

[@sheerazhenderson572]

During these times of lockdown and uncertainty, it’s so refreshing watching videos like these.

[@downeastprimitiveskills7688]

Nice to see open use cabins, and well kept over the years. On the low water and rips, leaning to stand and pole is a great skill to take up and learn really puts the fun into canoeing, it allows up stream and slow down stream travel. Takes some practice but once set it is a real treat to travel standing and poling your canoe. The boat you have is perfect for this.

Love your videos. Love the cabin. The last trapper's cabin I found here in BC was sporting a calinder from Feb. 1938. We, my brother and I, found the cabin in 1986 or 89 while exploring for a good camp spot away from family.

@@NorthernScavenger Hi Noah, i just found your channel, it is very relaxing and I enjoy looking at the wonderful and majestic sceneries that you travel through. The Lord is so good, He sure has created a beautiful world for us to enjoy. You spend so much time alone during your trips it is truly an excellent time to Thank and to spend some time with Him. Have a good weekend, May Jesus our King Bless you and yours always and keep you safe until He returns. For everyone reading this if you have not yet given your life to Christ Jesus, today is the day, don’t wait! Tomorrow is not promised to us... Where you will spend eternity is up to you, there are only 2 destinations with the Lord or without Him in everlasting misery. Jesus loves you and He is trying to get your attention today and just know that it has absolutely nothing to do with religions or denominations, it has everything to do with having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We have all sinned and we are all in need of a saviour, Jesus died on the cross and He was raised 3 days later by God our Father for the redemption of our sins... if you don’t have Jesus in your life “Today is the day to turn to Him, repenting means that we make a complete change of direction (180 °) towards God. What is wonderful is the simplicity and ease of this action ... " The gospel of Salvation is as easy as ABC A- Acknowledge that we are sinner and in need of a saviour because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23). There is no one righteous, not even one (Rom 3:10). The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom 6:23). B- Believe with all our hearts that Jesus is Lord and died for our sins, and that God Has raised Him from the dead and given us this free gift so that we could be saved and have eternal life with Him (Rom 10:9-10). C- Confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord. It is with the heart that one believes and is justified and it is with the mouth that one Confess and is saved (Rom 10:9-10). All who call on the name of the Lord WILL BE SAVED! (Rom 10:13). Let’s all be the light and the salt of the earth by spreading the gospel of salvation... Be a labourer for the lost! In Matthew 9:37-38 Jesus said “37. The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38.Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” I love you all and I pray for you everyday. Nicole

I even found myself completing some of your sentences before you did. :) You even cook like I do. I'm quite a bit older, but really enjoy watching what you've put together here. Over the past decade, I've traded the canoe, for the most part, for a kayak with storage with the intent on doing river/lake trips down watersheds. There are trade-offs to be sure, but efficient paddling is a biggie. Continued success in your adventures.

What a great trip, and awesome cabin. We used to go to a few old ones similar to that around Timmins area when I was a kid. I will always remember your trip down the Mountjoy river,ending at Papakomeka...only a few cottages away from ours. I spent 40 years exploring/fishing/hunting on that river system. Your trip brought back so many great memories! Btw, in the late 50’s/early 60’s there were still a few similar cabins around Papakomeka. 2 on the river and one on the lake, south of where the cottages all are nowadays. Also a nice one on Hopkins lake. We sure appreciate all the effort you put into sharing your trips with us!😊👍

Hello Mr Smurf or member of the "Blue man group" 😂That blue light was kind of erie! I have some thoughts about this cabin. In another episode you kind of helped to preserve the cabin. I kind of thought of things i would do with this one. First of all, i would cut that foam out, it should not be near those old logs. I would harvest moss and use that as intentioned in the cabin to seal it. Were i am from we have old log homesteads that some of them are over 350 years old. Sealed with moss, added on to through the years and it still works. It also preserves wood and keep both moisture and fungus out because of the tannins and Ph in the moss. Then we have the axe. I would use a knife in the same matter you cut the pumpkin up. Then i would make a wedge and hammer in in that cut to expand the wood and tighten the wood in the head. The axe would be as good as new again, and safe to use. I really appreciate your explorations to these old log cabins, and i have a "thing" for them. It is therefore so nice to see how you guys in Canada think around them, and use them. Kind of similar to us over here in Scandinavia! Thank you for sharing, and i apologize for writing a novel about my "rescue thoughts" about this one. It just triggered my mind! :)
