I want to give a big shout-out to all the volunteers who have kept this cabin (and other NS cabins) alive with all their hard work and dedication over the years. If it wasn't for them, these places would have rotted into the ground years ago. Thank you!!! 🙏

Do you think a reasonably healthy and fit 58 yr old male with virtually the same gear as you be able to successfully embark and succeed at this venture?

When you go to these cabins do you have any idea if someone is arriving at the same time or do you “reserve” it? How does that work?

Thank You For The Inspiration Well Captured As This Will Be Thought Of When I Set Off On A Simular Great Jouney Once Again Of My Own I Have Travel Thoughout Algonquin Pronvcial Park In Previous Years Its Been A couple Decades Sense My Last Trip But I Think Its Being Long Overdue As About Time I Made My Pathway Back While I Still Have The Oppertunity Of Time And The Strenght To Pull It Off One More Time !!!!

@@nathanbailey1593 As stated from the Cofan cabin website "Due to the Tobeatic’s true wilderness nature and relatively low use, there is no requirement to book the cabin. If it’s empty, you’re in luck; if it’s occupied, you may still be in luck as travelers through the Tobeatic are often more than willing to share." I know that in the past episodes of some of the cabins that Noah has gone too, he has had to book and reserve them well in advance of his trips.

Just a simple suggestion for you. When you're trying to split wood and it won't stay up right. Take a stick in your off hand and use that to hold the wood upright and stable. This will allow you to hit the wood with your axe hard enough to set the axe, but not endanger yourself. Commonly referred to as a "Sissy Stick", but I like to think of it as a "Safety Stick". Great video so far. Now if you will excuse me, I have to get back to it so I can finish watching.

@jamesvopni24585 ай бұрын
Also, there may have been a reason but splitting on a rock isn’t great because if you miss or just go through the wood you hit the rock and dull the blade. Much better to just do on the ground no?

Your shelter was cool indeed. It was "portageurs's style". Two things here. When splitting the small logs (at the start of the video), use a small stick to hold the log. It makes things easier and safer. And the small cowbell..get rid of that. It was proven that those bells attarcts young bears. And who's following? Big Mama bear... (there's a video from NOLS talking about that). Other than that, it was a very nice video and you made me smile. Well done. I'm subscribing right now. P.S. The "animal" was a sleeping Sasquash.
