The question about Pellow's Island is going really off-topic, but I will answer it.
Pellow's Island:
Pellow's Island is a small island
(about 1 hectare) in Lake Pivabiska north of Hearst Ontario. Hearst is about 1,000 kilometres north-west of Toronto.
The island is actually marked as Pellow's Island on government maps.
Hearst is where I was born and spent most my childhood. My dad bought the island for $50 in the 1920s and built a cabin there in the 1930s. My dad owned a hardware store in Hearst and we lived in an apartment over the store for about 8 months of the year. The other 4 months we lived on the island.
The cabin built my dad burned down when I was 19. For about 15 years, I did not visit much and when I did we camped. In 1975, I built a new cabin out of pre-cut red cedar logs from British Columbia. Since then, I have built two additional buildings on being a shed/workshop and the other being a sauna/bunkie. There is no electricity, other than a generator used for power tools. There is a gravity-feed cold-water system. We use a latrine. Our real luxury
(for only the last 3 years) is a propane fridge. We do most of our cooking outside over a wood fire, but we also have a propane stove.
Here are some photos:
