The Most Remote Cabin in Nova Scotia, Canada

[@NorthernScavenger]

I want to give a big shout-out to all the volunteers who have kept this cabin (and other NS cabins) alive with all their hard work and dedication over the years. If it wasn't for them, these places would have rotted into the ground years ago. Thank you!!! 🙏

[@northernpike56]

Do you think a reasonably healthy and fit 58 yr old male with virtually the same gear as you be able to successfully embark and succeed at this venture?

[@nathanbailey1593]

When you go to these cabins do you have any idea if someone is arriving at the same time or do you “reserve” it? How does that work?

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

Seriously though. Its extremely heart warming.

[@truth431]

WOW !! In Deed What An Amazing Great Canadian Journey !!! I Truly Felt Them Deep Pleasant Nature Vibes Throughout You're Great Video and as Well Ever So Personaly Felt To The Very Point Within My Own Hearts Spirit Like As If I Was Right There Every Foot Step And Paddle Along You're Way !!! Thank You For The Inspiration Well Captured As This Will Be Thought Of When I Set Off On A Simular Great Jouney Once Again Of My Own I Have Travel Thoughout Algonquin Pronvcial Park In Previous Years Its Been A couple Decades Sense My Last Trip But I Think Its Being Long Overdue As About Time I Made My Pathway Back While I Still Have The Oppertunity Of Time And The Strenght To Pull It Off One More Time !!!!

[@tombulger]

@@nathanbailey1593 As stated from the Cofan cabin website "Due to the Tobeatic’s true wilderness nature and relatively low use, there is no requirement to book the cabin. If it’s empty, you’re in luck; if it’s occupied, you may still be in luck as travelers through the Tobeatic are often more than willing to share." I know that in the past episodes of some of the cabins that Noah has gone too, he has had to book and reserve them well in advance of his trips.

[@diane9247]

I'm old and can't get out in the woods anymore, so I watch others do it for me. Your trip was just beautiful!

[@GuantanamoBayBarbie3]

Me too. I can only go where my walker can take me & for short distances. We are blessed to go with him vicariously! My dad was such an outdoorsman, and I loved that way of life. Every time I see a river or lake I want to wet a line. I miss fresh rainbow trout for breakfast. 😋

[@JGallant]

We were at the cabin on Oct 1st. Wild to see there were seemingly 3 other log entries after ours. I took a picture of the Northern Scavenger sticker on the wall. Also very enjoyable to see those portages again while they are still fresh in my memory. Thanks for the video!

[@TYRONE_SHOELACES]

Wow, now THAT is a small world J Gallant. I guess because I'm in Halifax, Nova Scotia, KZbin sends me video's from my area, but it's nice to see ones like this, the last few I got from KZbin is people turning on their dashcams, driving from Halifax to Yarmouth nonstop with no talking ... like watching grass grow.

[@shawnslaunwhite2085]

I am from Nova Scotia, and I just found your videos. You do a great job filming. Great adventures. Thank you for sharing.

[@OurLifeOffGrid]

Well welcome to Nova Scotia, plenty of those cabins around our parts. Always left some food behind for the next visitor in case they had nothing... its part of the NS way, and always sign the log books.

[@brianpisant3567]

You came up in my feed yesterday for the first time. I've watched 3 trips to cabins in Autumn. OMG what beautiful scenery, the lakes, rivers, streams, woodlands and cabins. I felt like I was in heaven. Thank you so much for taking me on these wonderful joirneys with you. I have tears in my eyes. I'm 72 years old now and not able to have adventures anymore. But I have slept in leantos and canoed and climbed mountains in the Adirondacks a few times. So wish i was still able to do so. Best vacations EVER!!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@Musicismylove888]

It's the simple principle of what we sow is what we reap. Leaving wood and a clean cabin reap that the next time you arrive there. Absolutely stunning scenery.

Another awesome trip friend ! Wish I was a little younger & not so many aces & pains But I still love to watch so many of you in many different places, Just the sound of the paddle going through the water , so piece full being away from city noise, I love everything outdoors as much as possible as long as it's not like the last week of - 35 to -51c that we just about done with,

Noah! I've recently just discovered your channel in the last few weeks and I am thoroughly enjoying seeing the East coast through your eyes, and your lens. I have an obsession with the East Coast thanks to the many stories I've read by former Cape Breton Island resident, the late Farley Mowat... Although, I've never had a chance to visit the East coast yet! Your adventures out that way sure are inspiring for me. Thank you for gracing all of us in the KZbin world with your presence, your adventures, and the beautiful content your making... I can't even imagine the work that goes into all of it!

Thanks for taking us along on your wonderful 4 day excursion. It was beautiful & rugged. The cabin was well cared for (respectful visitors).

YOUR VIDEO WAS A REAL TREAT!

[@jeffkatzer]

[@dougwaites869]

Enjoyed this video very much. I live in SW Nova and many folks are unaware of the number of lakes and the remoteness of the province. Thanks again for a great video.

[@vryce6322]

Just a simple suggestion for you. When you're trying to split wood and it won't stay up right. Take a stick in your off hand and use that to hold the wood upright and stable. This will allow you to hit the wood with your axe hard enough to set the axe, but not endanger yourself. Commonly referred to as a "Sissy Stick", but I like to think of it as a "Safety Stick". Great video so far. Now if you will excuse me, I have to get back to it so I can finish watching.

[@canadiancontent352]

Thanks for that

[@NorthernScavenger]

Great suggestion. Cheers

[@jamesvopni2458]

Also, there may have been a reason but splitting on a rock isn’t great because if you miss or just go through the wood you hit the rock and dull the blade. Much better to just do on the ground no?

Your video is the best one I’ve watched, capturing the real feel of back country travel. Are you in Kejimkuik? This is the dumbest thing, but I think you have the same pot I own. Mine is a spun aluminum, teflon coated heavy pot. At least it used to have teflon on it. It weights a ton, but it doesn’t catch and burn like our titanium pot. And it has to be over 35 years old.

[@peterjeffery8495]

We have huge tracts of Crown Land in Northern Ontario, some leased out by folks who hunt or fish in season. There you will find very rustic cabins that are used as shelters much like in Nova Scotia i.e.never locked, equipped with wooden bunk beds, a stove, table and a few cupboards and travelers are free to make use of them temporarily when trekking/canoeing. On a canoe trip with some mates, we portaged along a pathway between rivers and used one such shelter to eat our midday meal out of the rain. This one had a cupboard with a door that had not quite been closed. Leading from the cupboard was a trail of white powder that ran across the floor. Scattered through the trail from the cupboard we discovered a half dozen or so wee dead mice laying on their backs with what looked like puffy white mushrooms protruding from their stomachs. Turns out the last hunting party had left a box of instant just-add-water mashed potato mix and one corner of the box chewed away. The poor little mice looked kind of like hors d'oeurves that had fallen off of a platter. It was a bizarre sight!
