Houseboat Bay - Great Slave Lake - Yellowknife NWT 

So true Bushcraft. I have been out to the East Arm may times in Tindi's ATY. I just love that place!

Excellent recommendation! They rock!

I miss Boblo use to go every year sometimes twice a year

Dreadful mosquitoes during those summer weeks too!

It’s from the slavey tribe it’s a similar sounding and spelled word with nothing related to slaves ever

It's named after a first nations tribe

What a stupid comment from EyesWideShut

I'm wondering the same thing

A lot of them use those massive metal propane canisters as floats. They don't get busted or crushed by the ice.

@@mr_seth fuck cold weather man. Why would you even go there in cold weathers. Anywhere in the world where its cold is soo bad.

Daphane Mcconnell ask the slaves, I'm sure some disappeared

Northwest Territories, Canada. People do that.

Why up north its like 50 below in the winter you could dissapear up there no problem surviving is a different story

@@bensmith4563 😂😂😂

@@bensmith4563 fucking cold asf. I hate fucking cold weather man

They earn money by having rich parents

Sorry I know your comment was a whole year ago, but I know the answer to your question haha. The legality of houseboats is contested and uncertain. I read an article saying they don't pay municipal taxes and there are no building regulations. The city has tried, unsuccessfully, to assert jurisdiction over the boats, but the territory didn't allow it. But in other activities on the water, like tourist groups, the territory has decided they can actually assert some authority on the lake. So no one really knows what the rules are or should be, and all interested parties are constantly negotiating the situation and trying to figure it out. It's like who's line is it anyways. Everything's made up and the points don't matter 😂

@@suchnothing thanks, I have Canadian relatives in Toroto, and the kids are basically unable to ever get on the property ladder due to the cost of a house in Etobicoke going up to nearly $1 M CAN. Only way to get a house is to inherit it.

@@myopicchiwawa yeah I live in Toronto now, it's absolutely insane. I'll probably never be able to buy, and even if you can, trying to get a hold of a decent property is super stressful. My friends just bought their first house here (lawyer and computer engineer couple lol). They offered 1.3 mil on their first choice of house (a small 2 or 3 bedroom family home) and got outbid. Building a floating house out on Lake Ontario would be interesting 🤔 I was told when I visited Yellowknife that the rising cost of property in the city was a huge factor in starting the houseboat community in the first place. But I think the federal government (who is responsible for waterways in Canada, which is why the City of Yellowknife has no jurisdiction) regulates major commercial waterways like the great lakes a lot more heavily than less busy bodies of water like Greater Slave Lake in Yellowknife. Lake Ontario presents other problems as well, like not being safe to drink or cook with, and having really high traffic of large and powerful water vessels you have to look out for. I bet there are expensive docking fees if you want to get into town. I think the waters get more treacherous during bad weather too.

@@suchnothing I totally agree with you. Basically ordinary Canadians are shut out and international speculators are grabbing everything. The Government should build an artificial island like in Dubai then put tall buildings there but the caveat is at least 50% of the units are sold to Canadians of ordinary income, not just to foreign millionaires. Watch this video: amazing how they built that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OiGc2KmLHn0.html

Lmao, just doesn’t fit does it. Agreed.

Chucky Hagelo Um, I'm a little curious about your post... What does it mean?

henimsay he's whining about the name. Most yuppies do the first time they hear it. Esp non canucks

Chucky Hagelo The name 'Great Slave' came from the Slavey Tribe of the Dene aboriginals. the Slavey are one of the northern Canadian Athapaskan tribes on the great slave lakes southern shores, It has nothing to do with literal slaves

@@daveunderwood6498 its funny to see someone so small minded they get triggered by someone else's political philosophy, you're life is sad, lol

They freeze into the ice.

No, they fly South !

Edward Finn you meant float south... hehehe

Yes it is frozen for part of the year but it makes accessibility to Float Homes easier. Owners can walk or drive across the ice to their homes.

20 degrees. With Midnight Sun!

@time4fishing love that!

Northern Canada

coydog52 κάποιες τιμές από όλα αυτά τα ειπεροχα.

coydog52 try pontoons, it'll take the guess work out of it for you. Big floaties and decking, insert tiny home . voila

All sorts of setups. Pontoons, old barges, tugs, barrels, etc. They are a creative and resourceful lot!

@@bushcraftnorthof6012 my kinda peeps!

And filled with bugs the other 3

Composting toilets and grey water systems. Other garbage is brought to shore and taken to the dump aka recycling centre.

Daphane Mcconnell awww, may I ask please why do you say that?

you're confused and young. life is too hard for that nonsense

In the past the city collected deposits "honey pots" - now most have composting, no effluent toilets.
