My dad started this restoration, and he would of loved this video! Thank you.

Kudos to the folks who restored it. And what a shame they got in trouble for it. These lookouts are quickly disappearing and need to be saved. Love all the historic architecture hidden throughout the mountains. Thanks for the awesome video.

4:47 That timelapse alone is worthwhile

The First Nations Flag up there means that forestry cannot tear it down so I would like to say a special thank you to them I was just up there last weekend and that place will always be in my heart and I will be back to enjoy The View

a man and his dog.. unstoppable duo

Kicking back with a beer at the top of the world. OK, I'm envious.

You are Awesome ......stay strong in spirit and health...Canada needs more men like you...thanks for posting

I absolutely love watching these fire lookout mini documentaries, sending love & respect from Great Britain 🇬🇧

According to a CBC News article dated August 5th, 2022, the Eagle Pass Fire Lookout was gutted by fire. So sad. Luke, you are an inspiration. Thank you for all your excellent content. Keep going, man.

There’s a lot of back tracking and extra effort to set up cameras and recover them after walking away from them all the time to make a video like this! Thank you so much! And the time lapse was awesome. I recently got into astrophotography and when I first saw the shot of the cabin from the place you ended up doing the time lapse I said to myself, “oh that would be the perfect spot for a time lapse or a star trail shot or both!” Love your videos! Don’t stop!

Beer on the roof... I’m so jealous. Thanks for sharing.

Living the dream !! Thank you for showing us such places exist !!! 🙏🏽

I just discovered your channel recently and all I can say is...wow to good to be true keep it up!!!

wow, what a great video... thanks, this is in my backyard and i didnt even know... will be doing this hike this spring/summer for sure... lets keep this place pure and simple

Breathtakingly gorgeous

Another excellent post. The very best way I've found to continue enjoying mountain adventurers, through your eyes as I am physically unable to do so now the result of an accident. Rather than totally giving up on enjoying all that AB, BC and YT mountain scape's have to offer (as others have tried to convince me to do) i was fortunate to have found your channel. The mountain challenges and beauty you have captured in this and all of your posts is a close as I can come to my past backcountry and mountain pursuits. Your honest and real reporting of the physical effort and risks required to traverse these lands scratches my itch so to speak. Just amazing video adventurism which clearly illustrates your love of these lands and the stories as much as the trip there and back. Thanks for keeping my dreams real.

Thank you for making and posting this video. This place and others like it need to be preserved for all to use, enjoy and respect.

Beautiful! Thank you for composing this video, which I discovered by happenstance while researching the Yard Creek Park and Malakwa vicinity for a little slide show. I You're living the dream, mon ami - happy trails!

Did the hike on Saturday to the Eagle Mtn Pass Cabin. An amazing and tough hike and totally worth it. Unfortunately it was very foggy so the scenery could've been a bit better. I guess I'll have to go again! ;)

This is an awesome work Luke! Your channel is my favorite in the whole KZfaq!

incredible video! what an experience it must be spending the night alone there. it looks so amazing

Such a good and great energy from you and your videos man. You inspire me to go there, thanks for sharing this! God Bless your life!! You made my day today

This is wonderful what group did this very hard work in the mountains .. In 1960 my first job was to man a Fire Lookout as i worked for the DNR in Washington .. Over time i worked in 4 different towers with the highest tower being 65 feet high with the average tower at 45 feet . Long hours looking for smoke but the views were amazing and i loved it .. Hikers would come up and visit on the weekends , some even gave me a cold beer or two and fried chicken and potato chips .. To me there was not a better job than this i had ..It's great Nina gets to go on all these trips with you which she loves i'm sure .. well done , great film work ..

Great Film Luke! Very Entertaining!

Wow, love your videos and your dog Neena is so sweet. Thanks for sharing. Hoping to do this hike one weekend.

So many hidden gems you explore THANKS

Great video! Enhanced by the dog, for sure. Everything seems enhanced up there. Even the food and drink. Well done!

What a beautiful province we live in. Great work as always

That was so awesome Great video keep up the good work love to see more of your adventures too bad I’m a little too far away because I would have loved to camp at the top of that mountain look out but I’ll just have to check out things in my neck of the woods your whole state of Washington

Again another great video.

How your channel has not 2000 subscriber's blows my mind. Your video content and quality is unreal! Love these videos man! Keep up the good work

beautiful lookout, beautiful firewatch cabin and one hell of a good doggo

Awsome place i hope it gets to stay too! Great video😎🐕🐾🌲🌲🐶

Wow, that's a very special place and one I'd love to visit at some point. I love it when people give to make things like this happen.

Life is good, indeed! Fantastic place.

It’s unfortunate that it’s burnt down 😭 glad you’ve got to spend some times up there!

Awesome! My dad installed the new windows here. Pretty well my back yard. I own Last Spike Lodging just down the road from here.

great video , keep making them.

What a treat. Tfs

So, peaceful, beautiful n inspirational the place is ... thank u

Wow, what a Beautiful location for an overnight isn't it? I am glad I stubbled upon your channel. Love the videography even in the 2 videos I have seen so far. The abandoned mine site was fantastic too. I look forward to following your new adventures. Such a beautiful dog too... thank you for showing us the world through your eyes.

Beautiful work brother~

Man, I love our country!

Rene did that tower back pristine shape. Have picks with the R22 parked on the roof. He got static over no permits. CO abandoned those lookout yrs ago. Never had to remove them. Rene presented it to the local native band. Have pics of day flag went up. To bad he was a legend and it would have made a nice reminder of the legend Rene St Onge was. Greatest sledders to ever straddle one.

Thanks Luke :)

great video thank you

Wow-w-w...!! What a gorgeous view...!!! At least, Annie, I got to experience it this way! ;) (My present combo of arthritis and asthma would prob'ly keep me from seeing it in person!)

Great to see places here in BC.

My sentiments for the video @04:22 . Love from India

the creme brulee is amazing

Kudos from a new subscriber.

Wow that timelapse is awesome. What camera gear /settings did you use for it?

Hey Luke! Awesome vid, looks like such a cool place. Do you know if they ever decommissioned the upgraded tower or is it still there as you found it back in 2016? thanks! J

how did they get the materials up the second time, helicopter ? snowmoblie in winter ??

Yooo that time lapse

We’re from the government and we are here to help. No more frightening words were ever spoken.

Was your soup beans supposed to taste smoky or is that your signature cooking style? lol Great vid!!! 😎

Great vid. Did it stay or was it dismantled?

I wonder how many days go by that no one meanders up to the lookout?

this video worths way more than 250 likes

What all do you normally bring with you when you go to places like this?

How does I know if i go up there, that its not occupied? Is there a page i can check or get on a list? Or is it pretty much always empty? Mind sharing your opinion?

How long did the hike take? And what time of year did you go?

Just saw you posted it burned down it's a damn shame

well hello there i like sort of this kind of videos which giving you millions of knowledge and more things nature into the eyes of every viewers. i am Indonesian and was wondering if this place is it open for visitor to visit or are these place i mean the bunker up in the hills for renting or something ? because i really really do like this kind of activities once traveling somewhere in the place having 4 or 5 different weathers.

Has there been an update on this?

Trust government to get in the way. And BC is full of useless government workers and bureaucracy. Always amazing videos Luke!

A lot of the problem here is that the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resources are not working for the citizens of Canada that their are supposed to be working for.

Love your BC. I have a "red" aa well, best hiking, moral support companiions.

2 years on, has there been a verdict as to whether it stays or goes? (Great video by the way, that shot of the stars at night was class)

👌👌👌

A wood stove inside must be fun hauling firewood up that :)

well done bro!

It is kind of like this, if your want the judge to better understand this very limited paradise, Have him what the baseball movie ' Field of Dreams ' and see the scene of the real estate lawyer trying to force the family into selling their farm until he is in shock and see's the players coming out of the fields of corn. It has always been said that experience is the very best teacher.

My family and I went up last year to find the hut completely burned to the stake☹it seems that the court case was successful but a few years later burnt down, nobody knows from what, either it was lightning or human caused.

How you get into this career with no experience?

What time of year did you do this?

is 2:23 a drone shot?

Did your dog get any food or water?

I want that life too.

Good news, the Ministry decided it was up to code and won't demolish it or fine anyone. Hooray! (Edit: that is, at the moment. The demolition order has been lifted but the structure is still under review.)

Que pena é muito rápido

I lovey your dog! I kind of wanted to see that she got to eat too….. :)

You said you can't measure how much water to put in the meals and in the next shot your drinking coffee out of the pack mug. Just check how many ounces the mug holds and go from there, don't pour from the pot. By the way, I love the shows.

That was my cousin who rebuilt it!

Exactly the reason Rene and the others put in so much time and effort into that lookout. He would have loved the video.

What about the history that was there before it.....

Have you heard that the lookout just burned down? Shame 😔 was prob the big lightning storms that have passed through as of late or it was arson 🤔

Come to Nagaland India And enjoy the adventures

I cant even see a pack horse making it up there let alone people to build and staff it.

Taken Down?!? Seems like if your leaders had balls and didn't wear goofy socks they would designate the place a National Treasure and Historic Site.

You never get anything done by asking the government for permission...

Ouwt the houwse

That is what that is all ……””a boot a…” eh …

This is controversial because local Canadians rebuilt it?? Tell the forest service too bad, they took to long to act so it escalates out of their hands. As long as the locals can rebuilt the structure safely it poses no issue whatsoever. Fire looks are needed in the long term even with infrared and aerial surveillance. Its just another way to add to the safety of the woodlands. Burn in winter and then the summers won't be so bad I would hope.

I thought it was on Indian reservation. Why would a judge have a say?

I bet Nina thinks you're completely crazy or have alzheimers because you keep leaving your camera behind and then circle back to getting it so many times, she must be like what is up with this human?

that's 35 Celsius for you US viewers. thank you. pass the sunscreen.

I feel if it's done right 👍 it's fine. No harm...Also this is our country 🙏 and I don't care about governments feelings. We pay taxes and we work for this country. God gave us this planet to Medel with our hands. So we shall do just that by the sweat 😅 of our brouw. ☀️ God's land. 🌎 🙏 Not ours. Also more of these 🗼 towers need restoration. There are people who are also homeless 🏠 and this could help. Other countries around the world 🌍 have cabins also like this called bouthies... Nature is healthy for the mind. We need to slow down this fast paced life 🧬 🦅 with technology that we have introduced into society. Especially technology and progress.

if buncha homeless junkies set up camp on top of a mountain they would be left alone
