For someone I’ve never met personally, I sure feel proud of you. Beyond epic sir. No words other than you’ll never be matched sir. Incredible incredible incredible 👍👍👍

[@markball2048]

Chuck Porter - Everything Outdoors it certainly is an awesome accomplishment and you are right no one will ever match that journey

[@chessbrainiac]

@@markball2048 Well...Norwegian adventurer Lars Monsen (one of Justin's inspirations actually) crossed the entire country, starting in Kaktovik, Alaska and ending up on the east coast after 2 years and 9 months in the wilderness. That trip was well documented and was sent as a 6 part series on national television. Not taking anything away from Justin's accomplishment of course.

[@flobarbour4965]

You’re one amazing Son and Saku one amazing dog !! Best on You Tube 🔥🛶🏕

You have an awesome son. He is living my dream.

A stashed canoe could mean "stay tuned folks". Thanks Justin for sharing. That was one hell of an undertaking. Stay safe.

I can’t imagine there are many people alive today who have done what you did on this trip. Good series. Looking forward to anything you post next.

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

And ... with Saku no less.

[@dorrainestanley6966]

BEST paddling adventure series ever! Everything is right on: Your skill, the adventure, the dog, the filming, the music! It has it all. What I like most is how you show the reality of a paddling trip, compared to frou-frou portrayals of perfectly chic outdoorsmen in fashionable apparel staring out at a sweeping horizon. Thank you!

[@frankdawe5156]

I watch some other KZbinrs who claim to be survivalists, or at least hard-core outdoorsmen, then I watch you. Justin my man, you are in a class of your own.

This is the first time I’ve ever commented on a KZbin video, but I just had to say how much I have enjoyed this series, and all of your other videos I’ve watched so far. Great cinematography, relaxing music, and a good doggo. You have a great personality and I admire your adventurous spirit and endurance. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

[@forthrightnight]

Congrats on your first comment Andy! Commenting, even a couple of words, really helps KZbin content creators get higher up in the algorithm which means the video will show up in more peoples recommended videos. Don't know if you've watched Jim Baird's channel but he does epic adventure trips in Canada as well. Cheers.

born and raised in Wabush Labrador it is great to see someone respect as well as show off the beauty of the land, not only for those who have not seen it, but to re-affirm what i loved about it and perhaps did not take time to appreciate , thank you

[@ryanwight8476]

That was an intensely profound last episode man... The emotions were off the charts. I can't imagine how it must of felt those last few days and especially loading that chopper and taking flight out. Outstanding series! Hands down, YOU ARE A GOD DAMN MACHINE!

[@SwampDonkey530]

That was an epic journey, thanks very much for taking me along ✌️

[@MJ-qt4dm]

Well bro, I've looked forward to the release of each installment, never disappointed.Sorry it has ended and as another viewer said "Thanks for taking us along" with you and Saku. Now I'm 70 and unable to have a go anymore but every paddle stroke, the snowstorms, hail, breaking and carrying on arduous portages far from the crowd brings back cherished memories. Carry on Justin!

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Thanks Mike we're happy to have you ! All the best

[@paulherman4215]

Autumn is my fav time of the year too. Fall color, crisp cool air, warm sun and a hot campfire. Doesn’t get any better. Great series of videos.

[@saram7539]

I love love love watching Saku (and you too of course) adventuring across the Labrador wild. Such an awesome bond between the two of you. Very rare.

[@ProspectorAl]

I just binge watched the entire series. I don't even know what to say. This is beyond anything that I have seen on KZbin. Such beautiful scenery and such an adventure!

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Thanks a lot more to come! All the best

[@heidihiscock4883]

I’m binging on it all lol so addictive

[@madrabbit6500]

This must be my first comment ever on youtube but I had to say it. Playing with Saku around 3.25 is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen. Such an amazing dog.

[@PNWwonder]

I found the canoe retrieval first, went back and watched the adventure! What a journey, be proud, very few have done what you and Saku have. I enjoyed every second! A little surreal being back in civilization I would imagine after that long. Betting the sweetheart was more than ready for you two to come home! Thank you for taking all the extra effort to film, that’s an whole lot of extra work, walking, paddling so we can join in. Much appreciated!

[@yakinsea]

As someone who has paddled approximately 2000 mi. of open Pacific coastline (over several years), hiked the Pacific Crest (weathered out near the end), and cycled from Oregon to St John's Newfoundland, I know a bit about what you went through... HUGE RESPECT to you!!!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Crazy looking thumbnail man. Looking forward to watching

[@Nomad6763]

As someone who's solo wilderness adventures never go the way I imagine I'd just like to say that natures first lesson is humility. It's also nature's only lesson. Thanks for being awesome and coming back safe Justin.

From a weekend downriver guy all I can do is bow in your direction. And seeing Saku with that peanut butter jar just transported me back 50 years to my childhood dog Julie. Thanks man!

[@mikefawcett332]

Sad to see the adventure “End” a little prematurely. You have to respect Mother Nature, she’s a force not to be taken lightly. The call of the wilderness and the desire to complete this trip must be strong. Looking forward to updates and further postings. Going to order the book now, to see what else we can learn from you and Saku. All the best Justin. Keep them coming my friend, you have a gift!

It's not about the destination, it's about the journey and memories made while doing it!!

[@susanwoodward7485]

I have just loved following this (and several of your other) journeys. You appreciate the beauty no matter how difficult the passage. Labrador appears as a harsh, merciless wasteland to many, but like you, I also see the independent beauty and "rightness" of its character. Thank you.

[@Jordancb9]

Don't usually comment on videos but thank you for making something that easily beats any full budget TV programme! Extremely interesting and personal

[@mccluskeyp]

Awesome trip. A real inspiration to myself and my wife when we take our much less intense trip in Minnesota, USA, this summer. It's also great to see the devotion you and Saku have to each other.

[@jordanw6268]

Man that must have been so surreal going into your house after 80+ days in the wild. That was an incredible and inspirational series, glad you and Saku made it out in one piece.

[@matt-kv1nu]

From sunny cornwall, UK- that doesn’t look fun lol. Great series man

[@dreweaton2154]

Knowing when to throw in the towel is a hard one. A careless man will take it to the point where he pushes past the signs and ends up hurting himself and creating an emergency. A truly experienced bush man listens, watches, and understands that desire and determination are secondary to survival and that mother nature will not wain to either. It takes discipline to make the right choice. Thanks Justin! Great series! I look forward to more...

You are no ordinary dude my friend.After just watching this episode ,I was so tired and sweating so much I had to take a shower.lol!!!I can just imagine the feeling of accomplishment at the end of it all!!!

I greatly admire your stamina a wherewithal. I have solo’d but not nearly as far as you. Group trips with 6 guys and three canoes going from James Bay to Lac Lacroix was arduous but at least camp duties were shared amongst 6 guys. I love your videos and wish you back winds and flat waters.

I couldn't ditch my wife (28 years) and my kids and my job (that pays for my kids) to get back out where I belong, but I did live in the bush as a younger brat for a while in New Brunswick (east of Campbellton), Nova Scotia (east of East Kemptville), and in BC (various) and Alaska. I've been "out" like you, so I get it, but never "out" for anything like 87 days. God bless you. You should be teaching young people about the gifts we have in Canada that no one else has. Canada is the last great place on earth.
