Explosives, Remains and Deadly Caves. 15,000 Years of Frozen History. Destination Adventure

Every year, weather it is BC or Alaska, I make my way to visit the Glaciers. There is a specific energy I feel at a Glacier that I have not experienced anywhere else. I don't know if it is the size, the history, the power or just the sheer complexity of a glacier, but I have been mesmerized year after year.
I have spent days watching the tidewater glaciers calve into the ocean. I have been fortunate to witness the river path change and erode massive sections of glacier, revealing earth that hasn't been seen in thousands of years. But this year was a new experience for me, and my first time crossing a complete glacier.
I know it is not safe to walk on a glacier, but this particular section is far down and quite flat and consistent all the way across. It was a risk I was willing to take, and I am happy that I did. People have been using this particular glacier for more than 100 years, exploring the mountains in search of gold. In fact, I couldn't walk for more than five minutes without finding some kind of human remains, left behind from a time long gone. Some of these items may be sitting today, exactly where they were lost before, but I assume many of them have ended up on the ice from avalanche and land slides. Never the less, they will ride the mighty glacier until it reaches the outflow, and ultimately the Pacific Ocean.
The trip up to the Salmon Glacier is a world class drive, and worth the trip just in its self. There are few places in the world where you can drive from the ocean to a glacier in little more than 20 km. The wildlife is prevalent, the views are endless and the air is pure, what more can an adventurer ask for.

I was worried for you on the glacier. Don't take risks for us bro.

Your drone is turning you into a cinematic star

[@Charger1908]

Dustin I’m almost 68 and I’ve done a lot in my lifetime but when I watch you visiting the places you do it makes me yearn for a do over. I get taken away watching you and Emmy in your travels. God bless the wife and I love you 💕

[@bammerbiff1621]

This glacier makes Glacier National Park look like a hockey rink. So amazing! Noticed that your subs are ticking back up. You must have made the algorithm gods happy. Congrats!

[@mikeford963]

When I was growing up in Stewart in the 80's to mid 90's, the Salmon Glacier was the 2nd longest in the world.

[@gsdfan8455]

Sitting here on what will be another hot and humid day, I have to say that snow and ice look welcoming. Thanks for taking us along with you.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Well Dustin thanks for taking a ing risk to show me something I will never see in my life 👍👍🇦🇺

[@rickpetrinack1540]

Dustin hi from Calgary, thanks for the glacier trip. There is a particular crunch when crossing a glacier ice once you've experienced it you will never forget it. I have the greatest level of respect for your back country travel talents however. As a regular to glacier travel I'd need to add the following; Glacier travel is NOT for Joe hiker it is extremely dangerous. *** Stop 🛑 Do not travel on ANY glacier without an ACMG rated guide or investing in proper glacier travel and crevasse rescue training *** both are easily found on the internet. Its a place of beauty and excitement but please choose to enjoy it responsibly. Thanks for another great posting best of luck making your way up the Cassiar.

[@shilohandme3697]

Truly an amazing adventure. I loved the walk on the glacier. Thank you so much.

You had me gripping my seat as we watched you make your way down that mountain. But that vast wonder! It seems like one of those places that would truly make you evaluate your life. I can only imagine what it must have felt like to stand in the middle of that glacier and just stare at the world around you. Thank you, Dustin, for taking us on this journey with you. 😊

[@user-qf1it8jc9y]

A good hiking trail is where you leave your footprints and find amazing things along the way. You Sir, just did that again! Great trip down and across the Salmon Glacier Dustin! Thanks for bringing us along with you and sharing the adventure with us.

Man you made my butthole pucker when you went out on that glacier . That was DANGEROUS ! I'll say it again you capture some of the best footage, bar none of the great north. I sure do appreciate what you do and in doing so allow us viewers a glimpse of that part of the world.

If I remember right it was a dead animal that he came across.

I don’t think it was _just_ a dead animal, probably human remains, ie some sort of ceremonial/traditional burial

Walking a glacier is truly an experience… Not only amazing but frightening as well… And as you walked that glacier, you brought me back to the time that I was able to do those things… It is magnificent.

[@bobfleming3400]

Old Canadian proverb: When standing at the top of a decent, determining how “bad” it is, it’s important to remember that you are going to have to make your way back up. Okay, I just made that up, but as I age it governs more and more of my decisions when out wandering. Careful what you say, Dustin. You have a large following and a lot of influence. Unfortunately, as getting outdoors becomes more popular in some areas, too many people have taken the “anything is a hiking trail” mentality, and so many beautiful spots have been destroyed due to people not staying on the actual trails. It’s less critical where you are in this video, but there are a lot of fragile ecosystems that are seeing increased traffic and resulting damage. Great video, as usual, though.

[@cherylsibson2529]

Thank for the EARTH SCHOOL lessons, they are critical, the earth is sorta like a school bus, and if we don't take care of our school bus, like how a bus gores round and round, the earth goes round and round, like you probably experienced, we can't slip off and fall, or fail the earth, Earth is our home, school is in session! Thanks for heading up to the Glaciers!

[@kend1053]

Thank you for another spectacular video. You take us to places that most of us will likely never be able to go to. Especially those of us referred to as "Fossils". Your video captured that climb so well that my legs are sore now. Be well. Stay safe. See you next week.

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

Beautiful photography, man! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@metaxaanabeer]

I'm speechless! I've banged around Stuart/Hyder and the Salmon/Bear Glaciers somewhat and don't think I have the words to tell others how heroic and manly that hike out to and onto the glacier was. Never mind the setting cameras, going back for cameras, flying the drone, etc. Wow, just wow. One of my most treasured memories is hauling our teardrop trailer up to the view point (the one with bathrooms and the view of the right toe) and camping overnight. There was a guy in a tent, selling his DVD's (CD's?) of the area I suppose. We invited him over for supper and man, did he have stories to tell. Anyway, Dustin, 10 out of 10 on this episode.

Thank you for going the extra mile, literally, for us. Your dedication is truly appreciated. However, I must urge you not to take such risks on a glacier again. It's alarming to think of what could happen if you fell in a hidden crevasse. Your safety is paramount! Saturdays wouldn't be the same without you. Love watching you and Emmy!

[@JimRO79]

I was just going to say there is all sorts of interesting stuff that gets carried along with the glacier, in fact, you found some bits and bobs last year if I remember correctly, like old oil barrels, trailers and mine remnants, the Glacier doesn't care what you put on it, but whatever you do, it might just eventually make it to the very end (maybe even some of those Nugs you mention if it got close enough to the quartz vein!). Fascinating stuff matey, and that blue is almost like being on a different planet - Beautiful! 🏔💙
