Historic Snowstorm | 3 Days Solo Camping in Lightweight Hot Tent 

There is an integrity and an intelligence about you, Noah, and it makes your videos especially enjoyable.

As a geologist, I like the way you talk about the local geology during your adventures.

Testing both yourself and your hot tent during the biggest storm of the year is pure Northern Scavenger!

I once heard about an explorer that learned a skill from natives in the arctic. Wet the bottom of the sled and that helps with friction once it freezes. Not sure that would matter as much with a plastic sled.

I love how adversity isn't a detriment to your enjoyment out there. Way to go! To preserve the feeling of wilderness for others, I always cut stumps down as low to the ground as possible, so the ground vegetation can easily cover it. And if I can I put a few cuts in top of the stump to help it rot faster and not look so much like a cut tree. In "wildlife trees" (dead trees that are topped to a safe level so they're no threat to people/structures, but left standing for bugs etc. to live in) the top is often cut like a spiky crown to give them the illusion of having been snapped instead of cut. I may not put that much effort in, but I do the lite version of that whenever I can. It is just a nice thing to do for whomever comes to that same spot next year, making it not look so "touched by human hands".

No comment on the instant coffee? , You must have been raised with the “If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all” . Works for me 😊

Our family came to visit and tonight we all had supper together watching this intently! Waiting to see how you liked the tent and the stove! Love love love your adventures! Thank you Noah!

Well , I call present !

Fellow maritimer here! having a hot tent night next weekend this video getting me super excited! keep up the awesome work!

Hi Noah, I am the guy who suggested putting snow on your coffee to sink the grains. In a freshly brewed cowboy coffee, one tablespoon of snow on top of a normal mug or travel glass would not cool it down much, believe me. And, if you really are a true coffee drinker, you would always prefer real coffee from the horrible, chemical instant stuff. Try it!. Anyway, great video as always. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Noah. Fun trip.

Interesting video. Great campsite.

OH NO! AG-1 has gotten to even Noah and the Northern Scavengers 🤣 - I swear there is not one channel or podcast I follow that hasn't been caught in the expensive green blob that is AG-1. With all that said, glad to see the channel supported - the content deserves it.

Great to hear about AG1

I'll bet you have our snow. It's pretty much been missing all winter here in Rochester, NY😢

I could smell the wood smoke & fresh air! You really capture the essence and majesty of the East Coast Noah!

Lived in Goose Bay Labrador for 3 years and travelled in those conditions with a snowmobile. Under the snow is slush which freezes in the tracks. I remember taking over 2 hours to get less than 2 kilometres. Brutal. I feel for you.

Oh no?! What a thing to finally get to your car and it’s buried! That sucks! Knowing you Noah from your adventures, your attitude is most likely “Whatever doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger!” See you on the next one!

Meanwhile in Quebec, it's the driest inter ever!!!! Blue skies :) Enjoy!

That heater is cool

Hey Noah…good to see you again! I used to grind my own coffee and take a coffee pot…instant is remarkable! Love the snow! TY😎

Making me want to get a hot tent

a way of dealing with condensation in a tent it a bag of open cat litter, it absorbs the extra water vapour really well.

Wow you are a brave guy , where are you here ? We were so afraid of you walking on the lake , the ice isn't very thick on the lakes this year . You sure had lots of snow to shovel . Thanks for sharing . We are looking forward to your next video .

Noah you’re such a geek for geology. I love it!

Your videos make me anxious. Be safe and keep posting amazing content. Cheers

It would be cool to plan this kind of trip in two stages. Initial scouting during autumn for locations to lay up a pile of cut firewood and put it hidden under cover for the return trip in mid-winter. Then having a cache really dried out wood would be a nice bonus and allow more time to explore and not sweat yourself chilly.

The Soul of an Octopus! such a good book.

Wow Noah. You’ve got all the ingredients for a great video… no pun intended… or is there? Excellent videography.

I am always so excited when you release a new video of your latest adventure! Epic snowstorm ❤️❄️❄️ Love Northern Scavenger

It was really enjoyable. Good job dear colleague

Another "Epic, video I love what you guys are doing when you can afford it get 4 wheel drive..😂 Keep your infectious optimism going. 👍

Great adventure! Maybe you should take along some ice fishing gear in case you REALLY get stuck and need some food.

Great video in not so great conditions..then again it all can't be sunshine and roses! Looking forward to your next adventure.

This made me smile as I am sitting here watching this 1 day after another good few centimeters of snow fell overnight (around 30cm where I live in Nova Scotia). This time around a bit less disruptive than the one you are in from last week :) I was also pleased to read that Nova Scotia is designating 15 new provincial parks, and expanding 2 others.

Awesome! Thanks for bringing us along.

Your adventures are always great but since the Eastern Shore video this past summer, I'm hooked. Just excellent. I love the use of the Walmart sled as your pulk.

It’s all about the places you go and what you’re willing to endure. I’ve lived in a small van in the Okanagan of BC for 23 months and it’s not ideal all of the time and that’s part of the adventure.

What an extremely cool video. Lots of snow and wind.

Great stuff Noah once again you certainly know the wilderness and it reinforces the fact that you were born to do this Keep it up and be safe.

"GSI Outdoors Ultralight Java Drip Coffee Maker" it's so good I even use it at home. Ultralightweight, reusable, minimalistic, use to prefilter sandy water as well. I regret every time I don't bring it.

Ugh...2 hours of shovelling that, after all that snowshoeing thru slush 🥱 Slushshoeing actually 😂 I like that idea of the loops on the sled for attaching the gear ropes! I have a similar sled from Canadian Tire, that I put holes along the side to hook bunjies on, but I think the loops would be better. I will have to steal that idea. Thanks Noah! 😊

Wow what an afventure

Another exciting adventure to watch with one of my favorite people. Burr! I can’t wait for your next one as always be safe and lots of love from Ohio❤ God Bless

The tent seemed to work out well and that was a big snow storm! It looked wet and heavy as well as deep. Your face when you tasted the instant coffee, hah! Get a small Primula for coffee, maybe? Better than drip or instant. Lightweight for the pulk or pack.

One of my favourites yet! Such a well balanced video. Adventure, relaxation, nature, nature facts, your authenticity and obvious joy is a joy to watch. There's no other channel quite like it. My go-to relaxation channel!

Still shovelling in Pictou County three days after the second storm. Drifts 5 meters high in places.

WOW! That looked like more adventure than you needed. Thanks for sharing😊❄️🌬️

You guys sure got hammered with the snow over there, we barley got any in NB. Great video!

Thanks, Noah. Great shake down trip.

Thanks for another great video Noah! Good thing you're in shape. Those 75 km wind gusts had to provide food for thought.

I'm not a coffee guy, I do tea - but most of my buddies swear by Cafe Bustelo...Illy is also starting to show up... ? - Does that set up have outside guy lines for the chimney ?

we got an awful lot yeah, good on you braving it!

Congratulations on the new hot tent Noah!! Fun trip even if a bit "breezy" 😉 Hope you continue to get some good snowfall and more adventures out there and looking forward to them! Thanks for bringing us 💜 Barret

I like the fact that the tent is light weight but don’t care that it doesn’t have a floor. So might be wise to pack a waterproof tarp to put over the floor to help keep things dry.

You are some brave

Good call on carrying the back pack

That same storm dropped 150cm up here in Sydney Cape Breton. Most I've seen in my life. Glad to see you made it safely home and enjoyed the adventure as well. Thanks for the amazing content!

Another superb video! Love the winter scenery. I can only imagine the meal you had after all that hiking and shovelling. You have stamina that's for sure. Thank you, Noah!

I use a shovel called the Garant Yukon Snow Sleigh for my big driveway, during the storm I strapped it to the back of my 4Runner everywhere I went. I got stuck turning around in a ditch and moved about 3 cubic metres of snow in the blink of an eye to access my undercarriage and dig that out. Same day I also rescued a guy who got stuck in his driveway using that shovel.

Thanks for another great video Noah! Well done for camping out during that wild storm! We were shovelling all weekend!

You got more respect for this solo adventure. I love snow but that walk/hike back to the car would have been tough. The glacier facts are always interesting too!

Dude yeti out the starbucks via instant coffees. Best instant I've ever had and packs easy for trips.

Awesome video as always thanks for sharing,like the hot tent and your setup,amazing how the stove pipes rolls up (never seen that before)...stay safe Noah love your videos!

Ain't no dry wood out there, except in the middle of a tree! The wood stove always takes forever to heat when you light it the typical way. If you fill it with pine twigs and bows instead, it will heat up almost instantly. I'm so glad you got out in this storm, I was busy shoveling the most snow I've shoveled in my life and then breaking that record for 3 days running! Oh the joys of human power and country driveways. PS cooling coffee down like that is an affront to the gods and a tree will fall on your tent if you do it. Cowboy coffee with floating grounds in it is just not done cooking yet lol smh.

Hey Noha, heard you folks are getting quite the snow storms out there, in southwestern On. it has been like Spring, Thanks for braving the storm to take us on a snowy adventure love your set up.. always enjoy your video and hearing about the geology of an area , use to love that in school.

Awesome outting , I think i would have called for a plow when i got back to the car and saw that lol.

Love the type 2 fun my Friend…Life is a struggle but when struggling in the elements of Mother Nature,that makes living memorable and always a great story.See you in CapeBreton some day.Cheers 🏕️❄️🔥

I usually watch Mathew Posa from canada as well and his dogs Reager and Monte they do a lot of interesting camp outs and hes a pretty good cook to and treats his animals well like family

The snowfall was definitely epic. I love the stove set up. I'll have to check it out.

The only real issue with winter camping (if you jave all the proper gear) is getting back out after a major snowfall. Glad you managed to get out even if it was with some help.

Thx Noah ❤

Great Video Noah! Awesome as always! Congrats on the AG1 sponsorship!

Brave man to cross those water bodies…your temps haven’t been particularly frosty.

Noah, I'd say you are definitely ready for your long trip. That return to the car and snow removal was brutal.

Looking forward to it. My part of Maine there’s no safe ice this year. Enjoy

It's kind of funny, because when I read a news article about the snow storm on the east coast, and that the Cape Breton Highlands got over 100 cm of snow, I wondered what you might be doing. Now I know. They are forecasting another dump of snow in parts of the east coast in the next couple of days.

So beautiful loved it

I have a similar silnylon tent from seek outside. Have had it in sustained 30+ mph winds with little cover and had it do well. Slept in it down to below 0F/-18C. At those temps It's only useful as a wind break after the fire goes out, so I always pack my warmest sleeping bag. I live in Maine and never use it in spring and summer due to bugs, though I can buy a dedicated nest for it that would make it usable. The small footprint and ease of setup and teardown make it great for late season canoe trips too when the nights can get cold and longer. It's more comfortable to relax in the warm, well-lit tent and requires less wood processing than an open fire for comfort and cooking.

Always enjoy your videos. This one can go into the time capsule that documents the great snowstorms of ‘24. :-)

Look forward to you videos Noah, this one did not disappoint. Saw you had no comment on the instant coffee.

Type 2 fun that return trip was 😂

epic shovel out lol

Noah thanks for the video .

What an adventure! You certainly picked 3 days to really challenge yourself. Well Done!

Great video. Love your stuff. We got 135cm in Pictou County. Lol Crazy 3 day storm. Keep up the great vids stay safe.

Hardcore buddy! love it!

Fine winter backpacking in Nova Scotia. Hope I got the area correct.

Impressive!

Folgers coffee comes in teabags.

Your humor sneaks in...choice of music to trudge by

Nice thing about winter camping is NO MOSQUITOES !! If you are going to take that particular tent out for a longer trip you might want to think twice about it. That design has never gotten good reviews. Does not shed snow at all. Looking forward to your upcoming trip.

Keep that fire burning all night you will be toasty warm

Welcome to CB 👍

That brings back memories. Every time there was a blizzard, my buddies and I, or sometimes just me, would jump in our cars and head off to the cottage and spend all day in the forest. Sometimes we’d camp out too. I’m super curious about the tent. I’ve been thinking about getting one for a while, but I’ve mostly only seen those awful, cheap Chinese ones. This one is a bit pricey, so I’d love to hear what you think of it. Especially if you’re going to use it a lot down the road.

Hey man ! Great video as always, I use AG1 too (not sponsored but sure wish I was) I work on the road a lot and it's hard to have a balanced diet so I use AG1. I found the exact same thing, I didn't ave the crash in the afternoon, and I was more "regular" haha Thanks for sharing the trip !

Great video. Looks like my back yard in Falls lake area & oh ya more snow than Martock Love the tent looks pretty cool , I’d giver a go but I’d choose one of the other 3 seasons 😂

Looks like you needed a triple dose of AG1 after all that. Thanks for posting. ! ! ! ! !

Thank you for great video take care.

Nice video! I have the same set up.. Seek Outside TP and a Pomoly Ti mini
