I’m 74 and my hiking and camping days are over. Until I found you several years ago. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you and be careful out there.

Hope you can get out someday. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

My only complaint is that this video wasn't long enough.. Awesome video as always!!

I’m so jealous! That ice skating is tremendously beautiful and the open space makes it spectacular. The rock with the view precarious for sure.

Our winters have become very good for skating. From December to February the temperatures usually sit around 0 C, and the lakes consistently freeze, thaw and re-set. Nature's zamboni :)

Winter is so beautiful if you know where to look. A cozy fire helps. Thanks for the trip. That erratic made me ecstatic!

You guys are awesome! Keep living the dream and taking us along.

That boulder above the cabin!

Love, love, love this one Noah & Rachel! Just darn jealous of the skating especially. I miss it so much 😢 Thanks for letting us glide along and that dinner looked amazing 💜 Barret

Really enjoyable. The matching red jackets was nice to watch in the skating clip.

Another great video that got to tag along with you both. Thanx so much for allowing us to do that! Looking forward to your next outdoor adventure.

It’s always such a pleasure to see you both. This was short but definitely sweet❤ Hope to see ya soon as always be safe and God Bless. Lots of love from Ohio❤

Fantastic video as always. Nice to see you both enjoying another Nova Scotia backcountry adventure. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers

Great video,great skating,sure looked enjoyable and a very nice spot,thanks for sharing Noah and Rachel and stay safe.

Nothing like a cozy cabin on the coldest of days. 👌

As kids we used to get nice smooth ice surfaces on the lakes for skating after some freeze thaw or rain in March, just in time for March Break. This early season ice is so unfamiliar but super cool! Glad to see the safety gear and tips on checking ice.

Love love this! Miss winter skating. This is fantastic ❤

Lovely video. You've stayed in a ton of these back country cabins. You must have an idea of what works, what doesn't, features you'd like to see, layouts you prefer, materials you think work better than others, etc. It would be great if you built your own cabin, or crowd funded the construction of a new public cabin or something like that. That would be the tops. Or maybe just do a little doodle video where you draw out what you think the ideal back country camping cabin would look like and how it would be similar or dissimilar to other cabins you've stayed in. I'd find that really fascinating.

Wow this is great.

That was fun. I'm 72 and haven't ice skated since I was 13... It was so pleasurable watching the two of you skate...beautiful.

The images around 9:45 are so beautiful. Amazing job. Just found this channel and already love it. Keep on going, stay safe!

Awesome outting I haven't been skating for a long while and haven't been on a pond I forever brought back a lot of memories. Thanks

What fun .I remember skating on lakes in the interior ofBC.Thanks for sharing your video .

Don't understand how you two love the bitter cold so!! I can barely walk out to my van to go to work!!

Love it AND the dinner ❤

Thank you both.

so envious of the skating...amazing video as always!

Beautiful winter video! I loved watching you skate on the lake, Rachyl and Noah❄️🌬️

Gorgeous!😊

Love this clip! Thanks for sharing!!!

Amazing video. Thanks for taking us along.

Thank you for mentioning the ice picks. I hardly ever see anyone on the ice with those. I fell through some pretty thick ice once, because there was a bit of a pressure ridge, which happens a lot on really big bodies of water, plus it was close to a totally non descript pier of lake, that I believe had a spring under it. Thank god I felt it start to crack, and had time to throw myself over and roll away before I went all the way in. I’ll never forget the sight of that water under me. I was wet to just below the waist. I walked back to the cabin, but my lands froze so solid that I couldn’t get up the stairs. Maybe my knees were too cold too, I dunno. I’ll never go over deep water with ice less than 4”. 3 is fine IF there are no big cracks , natural springs under, and all the other things you mentioned. Having said all that, looked like a nice little over nighter. It was so rare to have ice that was good for skating where I was, but when it was, it was the cooled thing to actually go somewhere on skates!

I suppose it just takes falling through the ice once to question it's safety

Nice little cabin I have not been ice skating in years , Awesome video folks.

Awesome vid Noah thanks for sharing the wife n i love skating be safe n warm fr Ont Can.

Just a little on the chilly side....but what an amazing way to get to a cabin! Awesome!!

Always enjoy your videos. Thanks.

We love your videos. Especially those with Rachyl! We loved the ice skating! There is nothing like skating in the winter cold on a lake.. though never did that at those temps. Can’t imagine in 90k winds, with that windchill, way out in the boonies, in a small cabin with that small wood stove. Yikes. More videos please!

amazing trip THANKS

Beautiful nighttime and skating footage! Still surprised at the 2"-3" ice thickness standard for skating. When I was a kid in the Maritimes, we always said 6" was the minimum - one of those things I've carried in my head unquestioned ever since. :-) It was a river we skated on, but a mile-wide one. Still, it would have been moving water underneath. Nice to see you carrying ice picks!

The ice quality always plays into the equation. Black ice is the strongest, and I feel more comfortable when it's a bit thinner

Another great Nova Scotia video. Thanks

I'm envious. That is a thrilling, chilling winter outdoor adventure. I would be very willing. If I had the right clothing and gear, that is. Kudos for sharing the fun.

Another great video! (although short, lol) The skating looked fantastic! And the meal looked great! Great job! Thanks!

That looks like a fun trip. I have done a few trips like this in Minnesota and Alaska. Awesome!

Hi, from Atlanta Ga ❤

Noted the Poptart dessert. EVERYTHING tastes good when you are out in the wild. In my youth I took many summer canoe trips in and around Algonquin and one summer something called Fizzies were all the rage…essentially fruit flavored Alka Seltzer. A staple on many of those was Red River. You either loved it or hated it and I was firmly in the latter camp. Viewed it as boiled bird seed. Nothing topped PB &J which we mixed together in single containers. Today it is chili oils, Asian spices, dried mushrooms and dumplings. Not complaining but boy have things changed in terms of tasty lightweight foods for camping. Love the videos. Seeing the newest one in my YT feed is always a treat, and the longer the better!

Well that looked like fun! Cool spot. So cold and windy. Was that a Pop Tart! 🤩. Great info on the ice safety.

Very nice

Heck yea!!

Katoohla or Hillsound Micro Spikes on the ice trails. They work and you will fall on your butt less often. Love your videos and Rachel is a tough adventurer!

Another good option for traction is something called Yak Trax

that skating was great

That ice skating looks like so much fun!

What a beautiful video. Captivating. The ice skating part was especially appealing. You lucky dogs.

Cool video. Looks like fun. Underwater springs can be a dangerous concern. Also a great fishing spot. The water takes longer to freeze in such a spot. Unpredictable where they are if you dont know the lake. Be careful, that thin ice could be anywhere. Less than 8 inches and i test the ice continually on unfamiliar water.

Great Video, thanks!!!

THE Bach was a nice touch. Looked like a great time!

Very cool adventure guys, keep them coming…. Cheers

Very nice.

Great video again thank you!

That was just great. I loved seeing the little remote cabin and how you warmed it up. And the skating was such a treat to see during this non-winter we’re having in Southern Ontario. Just loved this Noah - and Rachel. Thanks

I REALLY LIKE YOUR VIDEOS.

Crazy, we had a week straight of -50+ here in Southern Minnesota this past February... Feels like time stops when it's that cold

That cabin is very similar to one I have in the bush here in Ontario. No electricity, no running water, and no indoor bathroom facilities. It is where I go to recharge myself.

Very Nice.

Lakes were our only rinks in the 1970s and 1980s. Winters were longer and colder in Nova Scotia then. We'd skate all January and February without worry. I recall being out in the middle of a large lake when the ice 'cracked' beneath our feet. It was loud. I assume it was settling or something. The ice was thick. But, oh, the shiver that would go through my body when that would happen. But it didn't stop us because people would take their cars onto the ice. If it held them, we knew we were safe.

Look at you two! Love, love, love the skating with the most beautiful music! TY!😎

Incredible spot! The night sky off the lake is why we need outdoor spaces. Empty ones. And skating on a windswept lake is truly a magical thing. So glad my kids experienced that during covid. A local lake froze without snow on it and we all skated for miles. Loads of hockeys games were being played too. 🇨🇦❤

My thoughts exactly..id rather be at home,all nice and warm watching the snow storm from inside

wow very interesting experience friend

Could you do a video on what gear you use to keep you warm?

Nice music

Noah Crampons are cheap to purchase. I bought a couple pairs after going down a few times on the ice, takes less time to put them on, than to recover from a hard fall haha.

Did anybody see that glove rolling across the ice?

Chilly billy

Thank you for sharing the video.

Short..but sweet trip..fun to see Rachyl out skating ( rather than running..lol 😅! ) seems like yesterday we were watching her grow up next door. Thanks for the invite to go along with you guys. Cheers Mike & Dawn ..(your old neighbours next door.)
