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

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 🌲🌎

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.

"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.

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.

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!😊👍

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.

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.
