Climbing into a derelict ferry’s crow’s nest amid howling winds and freezing rain briefly flitted across Scott Cozens’ mind, but cowboy boots don’t exactly have the right amount of traction.

Cozens and his partner Sheldon Smithens were in Mission Jan. 20 filming an upcoming episode of the popular History Channel television show, Canadian Pickers.

The pair travel across the country, scouring old barns, houses and shops looking for antiques, collectibles and curiosities that they eventually turn around and sell to retailers.
