Escape to Cozy Off-Grid Cabin in the Middle of Nova Scotia Wilderness

those who use her use her well she will shelter you from the rain and keep you from the cold and hopefully last until we're old it's November here in Nova Scotia and it's arguably my favorite cabin of all the Backwoods cabins that I've been to it'll take an entire day to get there of canoeing and portaging and it's already 3:00 so I got to hustle because I'm not even off the first Lake yet I was enjoying myself on the big lake getting some drone shots enjoying the views and I looked at my watch and it's G to get dark in like an hour and a half 2 hours we'll say and I still have way more than 2 hours of work ahead of me so I'm going to have to Camp somewhere along the way Shoreline is not looking that good for camping it's not it let got it I think I found something this actually works sick that's the wayo that's nice feels good to be here the water's boiling and I'm just going with the classic meal tonight simple Ramen but Ramen just alone is not enough so I like to Spruce it up with some protein and some fats peanut butter jerky and cashews I got this idea from my buddy Tristan it's an awesome quick high calorie meal I made it extra soupy just cuz I'm a little dehydrated and I thought I could I could do with the extra liquid all right guys that's about it for me tonight tomorrow I have a 2 km Portage and then about 5 or 6 km of paddling I'm going to get up with the tomorrow and head to the cabin see you guys then morning guys it's like 7:30 and still super dark this is awesome I'm so relaxed it's a perfect temperature it's so peaceful with the river right there and how flat and mossy the site is this has become one of my go-to shelters for these late season trips when there's no bugs it is just the ultimate vessel and making a shelter out of it as well is more evidence I have a quick cold season camping trick for you guys these guys right here Camp booties it's made of the same stuff as a puppy jacket they are like a hug on your feet they feel so nice they're so comfortable they have a decent bottom not the best grip but you're not going to soak your feet if you're walking in damp conditions got these a couple years ago and I'll never go back I used to wear Crocs in the winter which sucked about 5 minutes ago a white tailed deer ran behind the campsite and it's a good reminder that it is hunting season and I should probably be wearing more Hunter orange but there are probably a lot of hunters in the woods in very stealth locations so I got to be extra careful always wear my hat when I'm traveling cuz I don't want to get shot that would suck it's a very light rain right now it's drizzling the temperature is dropping they originally weren't calling for rain today but the sky is there's no texture in the sky and it's pretty dark for being like 9:30 I I did bring a rain jacket but I didn't bring rain pants or anything like that so I am glad that I'm trying to get to the cabin today so if I do get wet I should be able to uh dry off this port Tage is about 2 km if I remember correctly that's three deer that I've seen this morning my hands are pretty numb I have a little over an hour of paddling on this Lake to get to the cabin this one's really tucked up in the woods so it's really hard to see from the shore but there's a white marker and I walk my eyes up a little further and I see the peak of the roof all right amazing oh yes [Music] oh I got kind of cold as soon as I got here o there is no pressure last time I repaired this I must have not put the check valve in properly because it popped out and it is in there now I got to figure out how I can get it out with with it being full of fuel guys you are going to believe it I did not get this on camera but look at this for a little blue sky who would have think it I ended up getting here at about 2:00 I started yesterday at around noon and it's a full day to get from where I started to here so two half days I got here I'm going to try something a little different for dinner tonight I'm going to try making homemade Yi all you really need is potatoes flour and egg I did forget salt and pepper though I'm going to use this one bag of baby reds which I think is equivalent to one potato okay that's starting to look better with this you want to make sure it's all pretty consistent size so it all Cuts so it all Cooks properly Now to turn these pieces of dough into noi by dimpling it and because this is the back country and we do things a little differently around here we're going to be using the bark of an Old Pine Tree to Dimple uh it looks like gum someone spit out and when I hit the ground it picked up pieces of gravel oh that one was pretty good if I keep going over the same spot a lot of that loose bark is already been picked up it's making them a little cleaner also find if I got to go loose with it you know like just don't roll it take some angles you know play with it a bit have fun it does pick up a little bit of dimpling like don't get me wrong if you order this at a restaurant and this is what you got you think this is pretty but for us out here it's not too bad has a lot of noi everything is pretty much set up for dinner though it's probably going to be another hour or so before I get hungry so I'm G to celebrate being here and I'm gonna read my book for a bit I don't read often but I want to start reading more it's been a goal of mine for years at home I've started supplementing YouTube time with reading time and I always bring a book with me though I find I read it at the end of the day and by that time I'm so tired that I just read a page the book I'm reading right now is called Barbarian days a surface life I bet you guys didn't know that I love surfing it's one of my favorite pastimes that I don't film I'm going to sit my Scotch enjoy this lovely cabin and hopefully read more than a page cheers [Music] I've heard once they start floating you know they're good we're going with a pesto sauce all right guys this is the bougie Back Country wild nooki with a Parmesan and pesto sauce that's solid it could definitely do with a little salt but using Ed mashed potatoes turned out really well I ate that entire thing that was a lot well back to Barbarian days I keep getting these weird feelings Halloween was two days ago and I don't know I'm just having this these weird spooky vibes [Music] [Music] [Music] hello who are you I am the Backwoods Banshee what do you want from me I have one question for you okay what is your favorite tragically hip song Silver jet good uh what in the hell was that the plan tomorrow is I'm going to get up at 6:00 and try to be on the water for 8:00 a.m. and make it all the way back to the car my thought is tomorrow it's going to be windy and cold so I'm going to slowly work my way back and if I don't make it I can always Camp that's it for tonight we'll see you guys tomorrow [Applause] all right guys I'm going to do the random page read for you from the log book I'm not a big fan of this book cuz the paper is sort of soft and uh the writing isn't as clear on it all right June 4th 2024 we made it but we almost didn't got lost on the big lake but we redeemed our eles with a stunning Sunset paddle on the main Lake and found the cabin by 10 p.m. Weir was required wine was required of course it was that was a long day thank you for a lovely cabin and a beautiful spot drywood was so very much appreciated carlen carsten Rory and Lyra 10 p.m. damn [Music] Salon cin until next time I have a long paddle back to the car today I I wanted to get on the water for 8:00 to make best use of the daylight today but I'm pretty sure Daylight Savings Time happened last night cuz my phone it just seemed oddly late for 7:00 this morning so I might have just lost an hour of daylight look at all these cranberries these are this year's Harvest so they're not going to be plump until the spring but with these these are the same consistency as you would find in the um in the store and you can boil these down and make cranberry sauce but the Cranberries that over winter in the spring they're they're soft enough that you can just eat them off the ground and not tasting so tart and and crunchy but the birds also love these guys they pick them apart and go in for the seeds [Music] [Applause] final time 4:30 that was an 8 1/2 km paddle it's a full day the sun's already starting to set but I made it guys thank you so much for watching if you guys like the content and like the Channel please consider giving me a like And subscribe it really
