    Thanks for watching! These types of shoulder season trips really put into perspective how important it is to have a game plan before going into the backcountry...as well as a plan B, C and D. Let's all stay safe out there and respect these amazing places!

    That turn around mood Dave pulls off at 29:20 is pure gold. That is the look of a man that shoulda only burned a halfer but forgot to put it out and burned the whole thing. I know that look well.

    There's a fine line between challenging and foolhardy. I'm a fan. Be careful.

    Oh man that was fun. A ballsy creek crossing. We could feel the satisfaction of making it to the cabin, especially after that night in close quarters. Some great terminology in this one like "scream barfing."

    • @NorthernScavenger
      @NorthernScavenger  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Scream barfing was coined from screaming barfies which is a term used for when your hands warm up after being extremely cold and it hurts so much that you want to scream and barf at the same time. Also learned this one from Mr. Greene ha

    We call it Swinter here in New England. The cold with rain can be a real show stopper. Glad you guys made it out safe. 2021 will be better!!

    I am from Ingonish and I have been in the highlands throughout the year. I have seen it snow every month of the year. Had my dad fishing on July 4 and we had 6" of snow. Staying dry is important. Good trip. Thank you and have fun.

    What a spot. So awesome that there’s people that will put places like that for others to use. Makes you really want to leave it better than you found it out of gratitude. Awesome trip boys. Stay safe!

  • @brianspencer4220
    @brianspencer4220 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Although I've lived my80 years in Ontario, Cape Breton is one of my favourite places. Especially the west shore on the Northumberland Strait. Great people & wonderful beaches. Thanks for the reminder. Stay Safe & thanks Brian 80

    Just had to rewatch this from a year ago! Would love to do this trip. Unfortunately those days are over for me... In my younger years I did many trips like this in the backwoods of Guysborough County, staying in old cabins or building lean-tos to sleep through a winter night!

      @Wearespurstv 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I stayed at a motel outside old orchard Beach and don't regret it. It was family owned so it was really well decorated and stocked. My room even had 2 recliners. Place was spotless and I got to watch a hot air balloon take off from their front lawn.

    And to think someone hauled all the stuff out there to build that cabin and a wood stove, it was a haul just to walk back there. Thats badass for whoever did it.

    That was a tough one Noah! Awesome. The trip in itself looks challenging, but filming the whole thing takes determination. Thank you for another great adventure.

  • @timdupont3227
    @timdupont3227 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I stayed in the older cabin up there with some friends back in the early 90's. Nice to see they built a new one. Never went all the way to the Franey trail on our trip though. Just up to the cabin and spent a week there and back down the hill. Great journey. 👍

    Great video showing what can really happen on a trip. It is hard to plan on all that happened to you guys. Love the duck tape fix. Now go out and buy some new pants. When we left our cabin for the winter we always left it stocked with wood and food and warm blankets just in case some one needed help.

    Really enjoyed watching this. I am a three season camper and now I know why! I would much rather be an armchair adventurer on these winter treks. Props to you three for pulling this off though, that looked pretty tough at times. But that makes stories even better after the trip is over.

    @stonepa 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great work. Those creek crossings in cold weather are not fun but part of the experience. Back in Alaska we had similar freezing cold crossings in spring and summer. Freaky as it sounds, we typically stripped down, put on sandals we bring for the purpose, and gut it out. Cold wet legs and feet are better than cold wet clothes, socks, legs, and feet.

      I’ve only been there in the summer but I do remember the heaviest rainfall I’ve been in back in the 1960s as a kid. My Dad and I were fishing and we got soaked even with rain gear. I’ve been to a few jungle places that came close, but Cape Breton rain still holds first place for a downpour in my 70 years.

  • @justinlake7232
    @justinlake7232 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    You should come visit the east coast of NL. We've got way more tuckamore (low scrubby spruce) and the weather is at least as bad! The scenery is worth it though.

    • @roderickcampbell2105
      @roderickcampbell2105 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's for sure! But it applies to many places around NL too. Some great tuckamore on the west coast. And yes, the scenery is certainly worth it.

    Another stream crossing technique: 2 people, one faces upstream and one down, with arms locked. Move 1 foot at a time. Shoes on but no socks or pants so they’re dry on the other side. Worked really well in a flooded stream with strong current/heavy packs. Love your videos!😊
