- Canoe into old backwoods cabin in Nova Scotia, Canada. There's a lot of history here, including being used by old hunting and fishing guides such as Charlie Charlton, also known as Charles "the Strong" in the book The Tent Dwellers, 1908.

I have hearing about this rangers cabin for years. My husband was happy that you answered a question on his mind, was the cabin still there. We were very amused that you read his note. My husband Bruce, his brother Mark and few friends made the "Tent Dweller" voyage every year for many years. Thank you
Retired Park Ranger from Michigan here, thanks for taking us along, brings back so many memories,thanks again love these old cabins
As a single mum of two children (16 & 9 years old), I watch these videos knowing that one day soon they’ll be old enough so I can go on these adventures and find out who I am! To be alone and at one with nature sounds and looks like a dream! It may not seem much to some but I have been a ‘mum’ my whole life (since I was 16) and I’ve waited many years to experience this! Anyway, I will enjoy watching videos like this until my time comes. Thanks for sharing 🌲🌎
Better off showing your sons this video then letting them getting interested in this then the bs on tv.
Take them on adventures with you!!! They’ll talk about it forever. ♥️
You are a rare find, sky is the limit.
Never stop dreaming
9 is old enough. Get them out there
Spent the weekend at this cabin! It is a great trip. We paddled the chain of lakes to get there. Awesome spot.
Good on you, brother, for hauling out that bag of trash.
Sir, you’re a true Nobleman by sacrificing yourself and drinking the beer to spare the 100 year cabin from leaking frozen beer. You deserve Knight status. Sir Northern Scavenger👍👍👍. I’m on my cell now to run this by the 👑
Thanks for bringing me back to this Cabin I took my two sons there 25 years ago, the cabin is still in great shape and well cared for..great memories,,If I could still paddle I would love to go back there...my boys left their names on the cabin .
Maybe your sons could paddle you out?
Hello Ed such precious memories ,your Sons should make a trip back with you , lots of love**
Wow I am amazed that you visited same cabin!
Ed Fitzgerald...love the name! wink
Great story brother
JUST FOR FUTURE REFERENCE....NEXT TIME YOU COOK SQUASH LIKE THAT FILL THE SQUASH UP WITH WATER AND THEN COVER WITH SOMETHING. THAT WAY THE SQUASH WILL BASICALLY STEAM ITSELF UNTIL COOKED :)
Love honoring those who went before...the history of the cabin...gratitude...
My uncles 'owned' such camps 'up river' in Guysborough County. They had 99-year leases. They fished and hunted out of them and left them open for others who needed a place to stay. One uncle signed over his lease to my brother. He, several other brothers and nephews stay there often. It's a lovely spot up on a hill overlooking a river.
Camp logs are the best reading material. The 'up river' camp has one as does ours on the ocean. The log books start in the early 1990s. You're right: there's a lot of stories and alcohol drunk in these amazing places.
Thanks for the tour. You make me want to trade my row boat in for a canoe and hit the rivers. On second thought, I'll keep the row boat for the ocean and get a canoe next summer.
Your video made me feel like I was there! You are a natural teacher as well. Thank you!
I felt the same way, too.
What a relief from watch the craziness on main stream tv.
That is Reishi (Ganoderma Tsugae) for sure, I pick mushrooms in Nova Scotia near Caledonia/Westfield where my cabin is. They are way past their prime now better to pick during the late summer.
Thanks James
Being from Nova Scotia and living out west in Edmonton, I wish I was still back there living in the woods where I grew up. That was the best time of my life.
"But if you are willing to get wet and stay wet-to get cold and stay cold-to be bruised, and scuffed, and bitten-to be hungry and thirsty and to have your muscles strained and sore from unusual taxation: if you will welcome all these things, not once, but many times, for the sake of moments of pure triumph and that larger luxury which comes with the comfort of the camp and the conquest of the wilderness, then go! The wilderness will welcome you, and teach you, and take you to its heart. And you will find your own soul there; and the discovery will be worth while!” A.B.P.
This is amazing....just like the BWCA in northern MN. I'm a 40 year veteran of wilderness canoe trips!! All of us must work hard to protect these areas.
You are a fabulous steward of the woods....kudos, sir.
Damn Nova Scotia is beautiful 😀
What a great place to stay. Waking up to that has to be a little piece of heaven
Great videos. Ex Nova Scotian here - makes me a little homesick :-).
When I’m camping I always pack one cotton pillowcase. It’s a nice comfort-of-home cover for any pillow material you stuff inside, and also makes a good laundry bag for dirty clothes. Cheers.
Well done!
Noah, I'm afraid I would have to stay in that beautiful place for a couple of weeks.
During these times of lockdown and uncertainty, it’s so refreshing watching videos like these.
I agree with Rita Wilson 100 percent ! Very Beautiful
I love watching videos like this before I go to bed. I dream of the day when I can own my own land, and have a vacation cabin such as this. Thank you for this video and reminding me of my dream. 👏 cheers to you for taking all the rubish with you.
Thanks Karissa, I hope your dream becomes a reality
If only the walls could talk... great video chum! Thanks for sharing!
I like that when you leave a place, you are leaving it more beautiful than it was before. Thank you for this video!
Stag chilli good thing your by yourself. Nice to see old cabins still up
Great place to disconnect from the "crazyness" of the world.
Nice to see you take all your rubbish/ trash back with you 😊
It's so awesome to get some trail magic.. or cabin magic lol I remember on a hot day nearing a lean to on the Appalachian trail I found me a 6-pack of Coors light.. Someone left for another hiker.. I was so grateful 🙏
Cheers to you mate
The old log cabins off the beaten track bring back great memories. We found one many years ago near where we live in a Provincial park. We used to canoe quite often to the area. It was on an island and privately owned but they left the main living area open. It was rustic but we had a fireplace, a big table and a shelter from bugs and rain and a spot to spend a few days and explore the adjacent lakes and hills. There was a visitors book with fascinating stories to read and add to, and a collection of paperbacks to read. We no longer can do canoe trips but I will cherish the memories.
Beautiful water and country on a fine day. The cabin is great shape. Better then my house. Thanks for posting this great video.
We're getting impatient for the videos from the big trips this summer in Ontario and Nova Scotia, while patiently waiting and enjoying other vids like this one.
That cabin is so cool! Wow 1928! It’s in immaculate shape, love to see these places being cared for by others. That spaghetti squash though 😍😂 good for you for getting the veggies in!
Also I am so here for the little bits of nature education you share with your subs.
Yes, education and connection are key, not just to one another in the here and now but looking back and forward in time as well. Noah, check out Danielle's channel. She is an Adirondack girl like myself and does some nice hikes and trips, good videos and respect for the land, like yourself. I lived in Nova Scotia for a time, great country. Thanks for sharing this precious experience with us.
@@rowanmulvey8632 thank you for the shout out! Where in the ADK are you from?
@@DanielleRootes Whiteface Mountain, Wilmington. What a great place to grow up.
@@rowanmulvey8632 awesome! I can see whiteface from my road! I live in Rainbow Lake, just outside of Saranac Lake!
You do a fantastic job of promoting are beautiful province i really enjoy your videos i take comfort in watching them i to enjoy canoe camping with my son . It is very easy to get wrapped up in the day to day rat race . And often forget to take the time to relax and enjoy life .
Hey, Noah...another great video - so happy you are able to explore the cabin and surroundings! FYI...try soaking the ax in water to "swell" the handle into the ax head to firm it up...used to do this in a pinch! Enjoy!
Tku!! I """LUV"" CANOE tripping!! I like u ! Seem like a very nice young man!! Bless your travels!!
Hey Noah: a truly great story . Thanks for allowing me to take part. What a great location! Not surprised that you ran so much on the way downhill. Spay Safe . Brian 80
Thanks Brian
@@NorthernScavenger Hi Noah, i just found your channel, it is very relaxing and I enjoy looking at the wonderful and majestic sceneries that you travel through. The Lord is so good, He sure has created a beautiful world for us to enjoy. You spend so much time alone during your trips it is truly an excellent time to Thank and to spend some time with Him. Have a good weekend, May Jesus our King Bless you and yours always and keep you safe until He returns.
For everyone reading this if you have not yet given your life to Christ Jesus, today is the day, don’t wait! Tomorrow is not promised to us... Where you will spend eternity is up to you, there are only 2 destinations with the Lord or without Him in everlasting misery. Jesus loves you and He is trying to get your attention today and just know that it has absolutely nothing to do with religions or denominations, it has everything to do with having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We have all sinned and we are all in need of a saviour, Jesus died on the cross and He was raised 3 days later by God our Father for the redemption of our sins... if you don’t have Jesus in your life “Today is the day to turn to Him, repenting means that we make a complete change of direction (180 °) towards God. What is wonderful is the simplicity and ease of this action ... "
The gospel of Salvation is as easy as ABC
A- Acknowledge that we are sinner and in need of a saviour because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23). There is no one righteous, not even one (Rom 3:10). The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom 6:23).
B- Believe with all our hearts that Jesus is Lord and died for our sins, and that God Has raised Him from the dead and given us this free gift so that we could be saved and have eternal life with Him (Rom 10:9-10).
C- Confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord. It is with the heart that one believes and is justified and it is with the mouth that one Confess and is saved (Rom 10:9-10). All who call on the name of the Lord WILL BE SAVED! (Rom 10:13).
Let’s all be the light and the salt of the earth by spreading the gospel of salvation... Be a labourer for the lost!
In Matthew 9:37-38 Jesus said “37. The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38.Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
I love you all and I pray for you everyday.

This was great Noah, I love seeing these cabins tucked away in the backwoods of the province. Much love from Halifax!
dartmouth here
What an amazing place.
That is beautiful country I can see why you want to be there.
Nice to see open use cabins, and well kept over the years. On the low water and rips, leaning to stand and pole is a great skill to take up and learn really puts the fun into canoeing, it allows up stream and slow down stream travel. Takes some practice but once set it is a real treat to travel standing and poling your canoe. The boat you have is perfect for this.
Noah, really thanks for making such videos, really, on these times its a relief to see you guys going out and sharing your experiences :-) All the best guys and keep it up with these videos! Thanks! :)
Man, what a great way to spend a couple of days. Thanks, Noah. 👍🙂
Beautiful!
Very responsible camper,learned some points frm u...thanks for bringing us along beautiful view
Very Cool little adventure... I love the rustic cabins like that... Thanks for bringing us along Noah
You only have one Nalgene?!? For shame.
An old timer in New Liskard once said to me...
"You have one, you have none, you have two, you have one."
Haha always have a contingency plan.
Great video. What a treat that weather is for the east coast this time of year!
Love your videos. Love the cabin. The last trapper's cabin I found here in BC was sporting a calinder from Feb. 1938. We, my brother and I, found the cabin in 1986 or 89 while exploring for a good camp spot away from family.
I enjoyed your nice video. It reminds me of a cabin on Basswood Lake on the Canada-US border. I stayed there once. Great memories. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the adventure! 👍🙂👍
Great Adventure 👍
Awesome vid Noah. Great to see the oh so Canadian tradition of cutting some wood for the next human at the cabin. Had to learn this as a newbie Australian but it makes absolute sense.
Thanks for sharing another adventure. I enjoy you sharing what you're doing while canoeing and why you're making those decisions, for those of us who aren't experienced paddlers.
Thanks for posting.... always great to spend a few days canoeing out to an off grid cabin and enjoying all that Nature has to offer. Glad you’re going to replace that axe....
Just found your channel and took in a few videos. Thanks for sharing the experiences. You remind me a lot of myself; same general attitude and approach to experiences. I even found myself completing some of your sentences before you did. :) You even cook like I do. I'm quite a bit older, but really enjoy watching what you've put together here. Over the past decade, I've traded the canoe, for the most part, for a kayak with storage with the intent on doing river/lake trips down watersheds. There are trade-offs to be sure, but efficient paddling is a biggie. Continued success in your adventures.
Well done again, my friend. What a piece of history I would have never known about without you sharing this! Your tips from experience are always educational. Great video.
I really enjoyed this video. Phenomenal adventure, thanks for sharing.👍
Awesome vid and a true Canadian fall showing. I too used to stuff clothing as a pillow, and got a couple of similar pillows on aliexpress a couple yrs ago. Don't know why I waited so long.
Sitting in Niagara with the ground all covered in snow, your update was came as like a breath of fresh air. It is nice not seeing all those jet streams streaking across the sky.! I fear it is not enough though and much to late.! Thank you for caring and sharing.! When Jesus sat down at last meal it was called supper, the world now calls it it dinner.! Our planet is dying and it is not because of Covid which is merely a symptom of whats become of us moving forward.!
Hello ! That is a very cool cabin ! It would be neat to spend a few days there . Thanks for the video.
Love the videos
I am in awe of the beautiful scenery.
Thanks for sharing your journey
Evening meal will make for a healthy gut squeeze and pinch in the woods! Dang - doncha jus love living in the woods!
What a great trip, and awesome cabin. We used to go to a few old ones similar to that around Timmins area when I was a kid. I will always remember your trip down the Mountjoy river,ending at Papakomeka...only a few cottages away from ours. I spent 40 years exploring/fishing/hunting on that river system. Your trip brought back so many great memories! Btw, in the late 50’s/early 60’s there were still a few similar cabins around Papakomeka. 2 on the river and one on the lake, south of where the cottages all are nowadays. Also a nice one on Hopkins lake. We sure appreciate all the effort you put into sharing your trips with us!😊👍
damn boy another good trip for the books.
The way you leave a place is cool. Next time if you bring the squash, put each half in its own foil pouch. It will help it cook faster as it being closed in, it will steam a bit. 😊
Great video. Looking forward to exploring your channel!
Great video. Love the cabin log book and that they put it in plastic document protectors. Really wish we had things like that down here in the lower 48. Thanks for sharing Noah and can’t wait for the next video. Oh, good call drinking the beer for the “cabin”. Ha ha
Awesome video. What a great couple day’s.
simply beautiful
That squash and chilli looks good enough to eat
one of my favourite places in the world. cheers.
Thank you for sharing. Gorgeous area. Love the aged , well used and cared for cabins.
great job, awesome
That's a great old cabin. Thank you for showing it to me.
Wonderful overnighter! Thanks for filming and sharing! :)
Loved that ! Thanks very much 😊😊
Awesome!!! I was in need of another NS video, great scenery
Hey Mr Northern Scavenger, take those spaghetti squash seeds and plant them out in a sunny place, they will come up next spring for you to eat....
Thanks Noah!
That was great! Loved it.
Great trip! I couldn’t believe you jumped in that water! Brrr....
Great adventure, thanks Noah.
very relaxing wish I have something like this during the lock down
Awesome, enjoyed following along!
Thanks for sharing your adventure. I am always fascinated about what is in our backcountry and I'm still learning. I appreciate your insight and knowledge. Great video!
Thanks for the great content
Awesome place! Keep up the great video’s! Hello from Texas.
Hello From Colorado. I just came across your channel. The Cabin was awesome. I really enjoyed the video.
Enjoyed every minute as usual thanks Noah -
Well done Noah .. Lucky you....
Beauty spot; true Canadian treasure that! You can color me envy green from my icy, snow-covered-by-mid- October lake (Love Stagg chili with cheese when I car camp. Never thought to try cooking a spaghetti squash over the fire- great idea!) Looking forward to your next one!
I didn’t realize Canada was this beautiful!
Beautiful video, thanx!
This is so beautiful love this place, just wowed
another great adventure ,thanks noah -edmonton alberta
very nice and peaceful vid Noah. Good choices of background music too. Your comment about the fish was on the money as the last time the brothers and I were there years ago the trout hid from us and sent perch our way. Keep up the good work exploring different parts of this gem we have for a province! Good news too.... here we are, first week of December and it’s still in the double digits (Celsius for you folk below the border...) Keep your paddles close by!
Plant the seeds from the Squash and let all the forest critters have a tasty treat next Summer .
Hello Mr Smurf or member of the "Blue man group" 😂That blue light was kind of erie! I have some thoughts about this cabin. In another episode you kind of helped to preserve the cabin. I kind of thought of things i would do with this one. First of all, i would cut that foam out, it should not be near those old logs. I would harvest moss and use that as intentioned in the cabin to seal it. Were i am from we have old log homesteads that some of them are over 350 years old. Sealed with moss, added on to through the years and it still works. It also preserves wood and keep both moisture and fungus out because of the tannins and Ph in the moss. Then we have the axe. I would use a knife in the same matter you cut the pumpkin up. Then i would make a wedge and hammer in in that cut to expand the wood and tighten the wood in the head. The axe would be as good as new again, and safe to use. I really appreciate your explorations to these old log cabins, and i have a "thing" for them. It is therefore so nice to see how you guys in Canada think around them, and use them. Kind of similar to us over here in Scandinavia! Thank you for sharing, and i apologize for writing a novel about my "rescue thoughts" about this one. It just triggered my mind! :)
Thanks for sharing some helpful tips Elisabeth!
Enjoyed your vid. Looking forward to more.
