Visiting an Abandoned log Cabin Homestead

[@NannyOski]

I think the cabins and the house should be restored where they stand would be a great place to visit.

[@davidrouleau6254]

I really enjoy seeing these old homes

[@campcrackatinny]

They are my happy place imagining the lives that lived in these places

[@francesbernard2445]

Thanks for sharing on KZbin!

[@joeroman812]

Amazing property. I can only imagine just how magnificent it would have looked back in the day.

[@campcrackatinny]

Hi Joe I love imagining the [people and lives back in the day when I visit places like this, thanks for watching mate

[@gailcurl8663]

Sad that these old Pioneer Homes were just left to rot away. These buildings could be restored to their original way if someone cared.

[@campcrackatinny]

Hi Gail people do care but its money that is the barrier, this one being part of a land conservation trust and a community icon. No one wants to spend the money without owning it and the community wont let it go to an individual as every one would like to own it and if they cant have it then no one can situation as it should be everyones in the community to share. It is sad.

I tried to restore a cabin for free and was told No by the county commissioners...I was ready to invest $75.000 to original restoration and wasn't allowed to do it... makes me sick too see our history rote.

[@campcrackatinny]

@@jonhbaker1511 I know Jonh I just want restore every cabin I see abandoned. Thanks for watching mate

[@soilihenriksson3696]

[@maryhall7464]

Thanks for the tour. I liked it.

[@campcrackatinny]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@louisepozdzik7527]

Beautiful location with view of the surrounding landscape. Those pioneers worked hard to survive and prosper. I thank you for the video.

[@campcrackatinny]

Yes they sure did Louise thanks for watching

[@B-leafer]

Looks like a really peaceful place to live. Healthy for one's brain..lol.

[@cayennenaturetrails8953]

lol !! :) I agree. :)

[@brendasas8440]

👍 Really enjoyed your video. Thanks for the tour ! Definitely would like to see more. I'm from America and you never see old buildings in as good a shape as some of ones you've shown. Take care from a new subscriber..🇺🇸

[@campcrackatinny]

Thanks Brenda for watching, I will be back in cabin country next weekend to visit and rebuild some more

Nice lock built in to those dovetails

[@wondergranny2299]

Neat old place!

[@wildernessonmars]

so beautifulvery nice

[@BEV0323]

@18:12...I wonder why there was a full size door on the 2nd floor, above the bay windows??? It doesn't look like the door may have went out to a balcony or porch because there's no indications of a previous balcony or porch ever being there.

[@campcrackatinny]

Probably for air flow in the summer and to get beds and furniture upstairs as the stairs are quite steep and tight

[@richardbruce8111]

Wow what massive effort but so lonely! a hard life! signs of hardscrabble hard toil with little reward cardboard lining wood heating ...no chainsaws! shakes on the roof (leaks always needing fixing! ) no books? only hard simple life! and pretty recent too aluminium paper reflective foil "insulation" @ 19 48 wonderful log work on the old buildings would be lonely for raising family big country COLD WINTERS ...nice to visit NICER to go home!

[@campcrackatinny]

Hi Richard I like to imagine the life that was lived in its hay day.

[@gailspaw5521]

Beautiful

[@b.a.d2249]

The ole general store or many stores

[@malcolmquick3708]

You said to tell you if we see anything scary the person at the end definitely scary enough if seen in the middle of the night some where

[@campcrackatinny]

The Sasquatch?

[@malcolmquick3708]

An Ozzie bunyip

[@ricktimmons458]

please put a tin roof on that structure. it can and should be restored. a little exterior paint would give new life. a solar system could provide enough light and heat.

[@campcrackatinny]

Unfortunately it belongs to a nature conservancy and not privately owned so unless someone private steps up and donates a roof it will be lost eventually which is really sad

[@ironcross13]

On your property?? Great video!!

[@campcrackatinny]

Hi Donovan no not on my property but its on a property that is controlled by a nature conservation society

[@patmurphy389]

Thank you for the video! You never said what happened to the family, was it tragic? I can tell by your accent you are originally from australia, how did you end up in canada? Thank you!

[@campcrackatinny]

I'm not really sure but folk legend or true history the rancher killed his wife and burnt down the newest house structure with her in it. but I have noway of confirming this.

[@patmurphy389]

@@campcrackatinny Thank you for the reply, I was wondering about that?

[@williambyast7791]

It could be moved in one piece!

[@debbiebann5791]

There's no info on family or who lived there. Are there no archives on this for research.

[@campcrackatinny]

Hi Debbie unfortunately very little is known about the personal lives of the original owners just basically their names and that it was a central cattle homestead for the area in its early time. This is all I could find except the legend of the rancher killing his wife in the newest structure from a local source which was burnt down with her in it but I am unable to substantiate this story. www.cariboord.ca/en/recreation-and-leisure/knoll-house.aspx

[@sharpone40]

What state, if in the USA?

[@campcrackatinny]

[@malcolmquick3708]

[@campcrackatinny]

Thanks Malcolm I do miss home but this place is pretty good as well, thanks for watching mate

[@deniserhynehart6570]

Can not hear you.

[@campcrackatinny]

SORRY ;)

[@jeanshamsi4358]

Dude, minus 50 celsius is minus 58 farenheit. that's wrong. It doesn't get that cold in the Arctic in Dec. So, sorry Dude, you are full of it.

[@campcrackatinny]

Hi Jean in the included link it shows temps of 48.2 in 2020 and every year it reaches somewhere between -40 to -50 at some point so here is your proof that I'm not full of it but thanks for watching dude. www.reuters.com/article/us-canada-weather/parts-of-british-columbia-in-grip-of-rare-extreme-cold-weather-idUSKBN1ZE2DQ
