Lake Access Only Off-Grid Cabin in Nova Scotia, Canada

A canoe trip into a remote backwoods cabin in Nova Scotia, Canada. Simple living with high-winds, snow and a leaky canoe.

Thanks for watching! If you know, you know. I encourage folks not to name drop the cabin. Part of the fun of exploring these places is that they're not delivered on a social media silver platter and you have to do your own research and digging. Let's keep the magic alive! - Noah

I love that you didn’t swamp the video with music. I feel like I’m there in nature.

I can officially say it IS possible to hike/bushwhack to this cabin but I would never recommend it to anyone! Hiked in and out and I'm still currently recovering. Was one of the most physically and mentally challenging things I have ever done. Nothing like sheer determination by two women to explore this area and make it to our destination. I don't think I've ever been more happy to see a cabin. Even those portages were tough and kudos to you for doing them solo with a canoe and not breaking an ankle. Seeing you glide in with the canoe made me so jealous! Haha. Because we were carrying everything on our backs, we couldn't bring anything extra but we cleaned up the shelves and we stacked as much firewood as we could. I'd love to go back via canoe sometime and spend a couple days. Wonderful how well everyone is keeping it up. Thanks for the video. I'm hoping to do my own video if I managed to get any decent footage from my go pro. It's probably just me pushing through trees, bogs and swearing. 😏

I love that you do these trips in regular ol' canoes! Nothing fancy, just the basics :-)

My buddy had the same canoe and used that canoe for shooting the Tatachichika River in the Timmins ON area, for as long as I can remember, I rarely went along being a tried and true landlubber.

I like your statement of leaving things at a cabin ! Whether cutting wood or non perishable food or a repair ! Some day someone s life could depend on it !

I have traveled these same lakes and stayed in multiple cabins . In my youth .Some of my best memories.

Hello from Cheyenne, Wyoming USA. What a great cabin and beautiful, scenic surroundings. I very much enjoyed this video.

Would love to go to a little cabin like that in winter. My favorite memories growing up were staying in a small log cabin with a wood stove and kerosene lamp, always in winter. buzzing up & down the lake on the machine, no bugs, ice fishing...good times.

"Leave it better" is fantastic advice. Great video.

Ok, I have to watch more of your videos because this is the best outdoor video I have seen in weeks. I have seen way to many videos of people out "roughing it" with tons of equipment in tow. I spend six months on the PCT (ok, I know it not specifically way out there in the backwoods) with nothing more than what I could carry in my backpack. I had a blast.

I love every season but spring is so exciting with new life...and no mosquitos yet! I wish I could live in that little cabin, I love it!!

You can never go wrong with bologna I mean bolonie lol and kd .

Is there log book 📕 at every ⛺️ site ?

Wow that cray some one left a guitar 🎸 to play how cool is that ?!

As for stopping the leak in the boat. A thick layer of pine sap may not stop the water but will slow it down.

And not getting hammered by the bugs actually looks real pleasant. I enjoy time alone

I recently discovered your channel. Great video! I am from NS and paddle the Tusket River system a few times. I love and miss that area.

Noah, my dear old Dad started taking me into this lake and Cabin at least 65 years ago now. Agreed … a beautiful place. My son and I last hiked in from the south on the May long weekend in 2019.

Question … where do you start your Trek from coming in from the North these days … paddle through the Stillwaters first ??? is the trail still fairly well cleared and marked … is there a current Map nowadays … we used to leave our vehicle at a farmer’s house and hike back on one of his Woods Roads until we eventually met up with the Rangers’ Trail coming in from another Ranger’s Camp on a lake a little further to the West.

Rewatch this video at least once a year … takes me back … great job thanks so much.

Thanks again.

You guys are so reliable. Without fail I can click your vid and enjoy the whole thing, never losing interest or wanting to fast-forward. Beautiful as always. Great book to read too.

You have a great common sense attitude and I enjoyed your video. Thanks

I’ve spent many a night in that old camp, I’m sure you would of seen my name in the log or on the way several times. We used to come in from the other end until they closed it off. Great video, lots of great memories for sure.
