It seriously makes my day when there is a new Northern Scavenger video posted. Thanks!

[@shayetanner6431]

100%

[@curtis.strange]

Gotta show respect any time someone can post "failed" trip content too (while still keeping it entertaining of course)

[@marcusaetius9309]

It’s not the destination my friends, it’s the journey 👍🏻

[@TheOpenboater]

Discretion is the better part of valour. Well done sir, you made the correct choice. Thanks for sharing with us. Short but sweet.

[@ericjensen4434]

Northern Scavenger makes anything they do in the woods more than worth watching. Keep it up. Excited to see this post come up.

[@damonplummer9296]

Failure is not falling down it's not getting back up take care we enjoy you so much can't wait till the next one

[@haroldwhite5588]

Nice winter hike, you did the right thing by heading back and saving it for another day.....never risk getting wet in the winter, things can head south in a hurry.

[@deborahphillips9034]

That outing was perfect!!! Gotta always be ready for the unexpected. Don’t ever think it won’t happen to me

[@bonpecheur4565]

I would say the inconsistent weather is everywhere this year in Canada and on the planet in general. In Québec we want a couple time from +4 to -20 the same day this winter . At least you where able to sleep on dry ground in February . If you go like 2 hours north of Montreal you would have been in over 4 foot of snow 😋 . I'm glad you didnt go on that thin ice , we need you for more adventure trip in the future . Thanks for the video

[@GF-pc5bt]

I like when people post a fail….but in the end there’s no fail just knowledge earned….❤

[@jacqueline7118]

Awesome night out and the bright side is, you can save the cabin for another trek! It is the beauty of exploring, no guarantees! Thanks for sharing! :) :)

[@Sr89hot]

The younger me would have tried to go through the bog, ended up soaking wet, then hiking all the way back to the car and reaching it in pitch black. Being ticked off and wet cold. You made the right decisions, had a good camp, and fun hike.

[@geribarrington2296]

You never cease to amaze me with your adventures!

[@breezefor5966]

Glad that you are back, cant wait for the new series to start

[@carlacameron4936]

Oh how we have missed your wonderful being!!! Yippee!!! Thanks Noah!

[@ConnieLowell]

So grateful to see real trips! So enjoyable to watch. Aren't we are all united by imperfect experiences that we still can't help but enjoy? : )

[@ritawilson8762]

Thanks for posting. It wasn't a fail because we enjoyed the video.

[@livelife4471]

Well, you got some fresh air and some exercise, nice walking stick, and you returned home safe, so no harm done.

[@NorthernRetreat]

Nice to see you guys posting again. If nothing else getting out and going for a hike is a success in itself. 👍

[@barbmcnaughton6119]

So nice to see you again Noah. A fun video showing how prepared you were for any eventuality!

[@halinawiecek2297]

Nice to see you again I hope the night sleeping under the tarp wasn't very cold take care and see you again.

[@jeffkatzer]

Always a pleasure to see your videos. Thanks friend.

[@benweir665]

Ha. That pause while you're considering the risk-reward at the 14 minute mark. Been there so many times.

[@piddy3825]

lol, I was greatly amused by this comedy of errors, seems that everything that could go wrong did! So glad that you didn't try venturing out on the ice or taking on the bog for a short cut. I bet you were happy to make it back to the car, now I'm looking forward to the next adventure!

[@sarahhills6138]

just what I needed while I'm stuck inside during an ice storm!

[@dmays67]

Man returns alive and unhurt from outing having not achieved his goal because risks too high. Works for me bro. :)

[@johnmccormick175]

Good decision Noah i was getting cold watching you 🙂 as always great video,tomorrow is another day..stay safe and thanks for sharing.

[@weatherincorporated6088]

Good to see you and thanks for bringing us along!

[@Maritimer]

Hey man good video ! Sometimes ya gotta know when to cut your losses and do the best thing. Glad you made er' out safe.

[@ty-ler14]

So glad you guys are back always love your content

[@OkinawaWild]

Definitely the adventures that include shifting to plan B are the best ones 🤙

[@ifonlyseethrumyeyes8957]

I hope you don't mind...It's not that you couldn't do it, it's that you couldn't find the way without injuring yourself. You have great determination and motivation. You'll get'em next time. Thank you!

[@lauree8165]

i admire folks who go new places. i love when you post new videos.

[@darrendavidsonoutdoors]

What's that saying; when nothing goes as planned, that's when the adventure begins.... Something like that.

[@MrBeeradb1]

You made the right decission.

[@jaysway2346]

Wouldn't be a Northern Scavenger video without a bushwhack.😀

[@jerryg957]

Thanks for posting, nice hike all in all !

[@MeetMeOutside]

Fantastic ! What an outing ! Thanks for sharing this !

[@tomdies7451]

It's good to know your limitations and error on the safe side.

[@carolbulmer8253]

I was cheering for you, Noah😊

[@KelJayP]

Great try, nonetheless. Thanks for posting again, and I can't wait to see your upcoming epic north adventure story!

[@Dragons_Novel]

As someone else said in the comments, it's the journey, not the destination. Also as someone else said, younger me would have been pushed on to get to the cabin through the bog in the dark. The older, wiser me would have done what you did. Adventure on!

[@jimhanson7476]

Still a great adventure, enjoyed and keep at it… cheers

[@ruirodrigues9122]

A colab between you and Lone wolf 902 would be awesome!

[@cliffordwright342]

Noah great video nonetheless. Beautiful country. All good decisions you made. Weather sure changed fast. Always enjoy your videos

[@marcusaetius9309]

I used to hunt in Nova Scotia about 30 years ago. Beautiful country but the bush can get so thick we would get turned around regularly.

[@KeithHolden-cc3cz]

The unexpected can be the best times sometimes. Way to go for staying positive and make it an adventure.

[@grousemaster]

I was waiting for the car not to start lol. Fail or not, I enjoy your forays in the forest. Thanks.

[@oliverhenninger7937]

Great video! Was nice to see how you kept cool, reconsidered the situation and instead camped along the way! That's experience...

[@Hewillreturn]

So good to see you! Good story!

[@DovieRuthAuthor]

Bless you. Your friends and family will be happy to see you come home in good health.

[@TOURduPARK]

Great video man, as always.

[@TheWhitePine5]

As long as the road wasn't completely washed out on the way back lol

[@musingwithreba9667]

Type 2 fun is always a good story 😁

[@alderwildernessexperiences9373]

Hiked into this (I think) cabin over the long weekend from a different direction about 16 km each way. Last 1.5 kms were a bushwack and one water crossing near the end. Glad we didn’t have to sleep under our tarp although I was prepared for it. Great video!

[@waltsimonson2556]

I use to camp all the time and I love when things don't go as planned .

[@mnolan1122]

It was still an adventure. And nothing ventured nothing gained! So glad you’re back. I’ve missed your stories.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Adventure starts when things go wrong! Good decision making brother.

[@eckosters]

I can’t believe I saw this video right after it got posted. Such typical NS woods & waters. Always surprising, so easy to get lost if you aren’t well prepared. I’m nowhere near as knowledgeable and skilful as you are, but I sure recognize the conditions.

[@sherrierifenberg2199]

Gotta love winter hikes, great job, Noah!

[@theflourishing]

Gotta love that day-to-day Nova Scotia weather 🙂

[@johnp1]

You're pretty brave going through a swamp during the winter.

[@lunabouch]

Noah I guess you win some and sometimes you don’t! But it’s a good story and glad you posted it.

[@kearnsey64]

Listen to your gut, always! Sound wisdom.

[@johnclark9691]

Great stuff Noah you don't just like being in the wilderness I think your now part of it keep enjoying what you do and stay safe.

[@johnfunk7568]

Good decision to turn around Noah. Thanks for sharing!

[@CapitanPelanas]

Excelente video y gran experiencia! Gracias por compartir. La señal en el árbol es probablemente un puesto de cazador, supongo que habría más cada cierta distancia. Saludos

[@scratchypants1]

Adventure is misery recollected in comfort. Or something like that.

[@thiskewlchick]

Always a good story from you guys!

[@cdkcdk1990]

Great stuff Noah. Thx!

[@Otis1953]

Now that, was a good story!

[@Iconat20]

Kills me as a NS native to not know where this is! No maps, no approximate area, no county. Coulda been my father-in-law's back woods from all I can tell, but I'm assuming near Keji

[@Barret-paddles]

Definitely a good story Noah! thanks for sharing 🙂

[@michaelbroyer3918]

Every adventure is a learning experience. Keep doing what you love and looking forward to future adventure videos!

[@Evan_Le5]

Awesome video. Time to hunt some blue lines I think

[@fathersonoutdoors7487]

Hi from Newfoundland great video we still have lots of snow I have a KZbin channel as well all the best

[@kylew398]

It is good to know your limitations and your risk / reward.

[@icare6076]

I loved this.

[@96Duelfuel]

I tuned in for the Matrix. Ounce for Ounce and pound for pound, the toughest used cars around (same with Vibes)

[@jimf1964]

Hey, I think that’s the first time I’ve seen my saw on tv. Definitely not a fail. Well, not a total fail anyway. Just next time don’t bring skates when you just had like 20mm of rain. 🙂

[@rosemcbride1813]

I will be watching more.

[@dennisoverholts8396]

Knowing when to say when is the art of survival in the back country.

[@sharongildert6222]

Its not a failed attempt but another reason to go again once the temps drop and that lake freezes.

[@andrewmacaulay1585]

Excellent…did you figure out afterwards if there was another possible route.? Andrew Mac Aulay

[@paulfroud3920]

And a couple of Pine Needles for flavor and Vitamin C 😄

[@paulmurray8734]

You got to know when to fold them and you got to know when to hold them 😎

[@jasoncameron4948]

10:26 If you don't like the weather in NS, just wait five minutes.

[@kevinstromquist5954]

Tough day at the office

[@jasonwarham]

Boggy Lake Wilderness Area i believe

[@adrianlois6284]

It's okay to explore places accompanied but alone in a frozen swamp and many kilometers to go getting wet with those temperatures, the best thing you did was come back 👍🍺

[@gr8outdoors]

Noah, I’m surprised you don’t have a vehicle that suits your needs. Like a Toyota Tacoma or 4Runner. Some of the places you drive into I would never dare driving a sedan. I’ve seen too many people get stranded because they either punctured their oil pan or gas tank or just get stuck.

[@carolbulmer8253]

That is a good story, Noah😊

[@CanadianSledDog]

I just moved to NS and the winter here has been the weirdest I've ever experienced. First I had my first hurricane living in the RV in the bush, and it's been weird ever since. Speaking of "tick"s and spring, do you ever get ticks bushwhacking in those kind of woods or do the fir trees keep them away?

[@Stevie_G]

Ticks yup ... any kind a bush wackin and you'll be into them in spring / early summer. They tend to burn off a bit in late summer and fall - they are worse in the southern end of the Province but have pretty much made their way everywhere. There's a company out there called "AtlanTick" I believe that sell tick repellent and mini first aid "Tick kits" - They come in handy when in the bush. Some winters here are full on traditional Canadian winter / Other winters even the lakes won't totally freeze. The rest of the time Its a Freeze-Thaw after Freeze-Thaw. You need to be prepared for anything mother nature can throw at you.

[@CanadianSledDog]

@@Stevie_G thanks I'll check them out!

[@CreationDust777]

You got pretty teeth bro. You should brush those snausages off after you roll them around in gravel. Lol. Cool outing

[@YYChinook]

WOW a bad days for sure

[@peterbull3955]

I wish you could say which cabin/area this was

[@Ont785]

Snausages! Man after my own heart!

[@MnNative]

No flice fishing? Fly+ice

[@robertwells1993]

If you don’t know, now you know. Thanks Noah
