Living With Canadas Biggest Predator - Destination Adventure

[@nigelsailing]

I've rarely got something to say about your exceptional films because so many others say it much better than I could. But I have to say that your lingering shot of the trees and mountains in that exquisite light with a white bird crossing broke me.

[@Destination_Adventure]

Broke you in a good way I hope. lol. Thank you for enjoying 😊

[@Paddy_Roche]

You said it beautifully friend

[@sunshine000000ful1]

Stunning .. just stunning. Thank you.

[@trudydavidson528]

That little guy peeking out from the log....... be still my heart!!! ♥

[@michaelchase418]

The people who say "be still my heart" in such situations are my kind of people's.

[@Vtarngpb]

Such a cute Puppy! 😅

[@davestevens4263]

That was sooooo cute .

[@BriNaCa]

The truck is not leaking oil, it is just rust proofing itself!

[@Kletke84]

Horsepower leaking out. That Cummins is just sweating.

[@MattyBrad]

If the leak stops. You need to top it up.

[@davestevens4263]

I love it , positive outlook.

[@paulipuhakka8788]

Sooo true👍💪BAHAHAHAHA!!!

[@guidoschnelzer942]

Having grown up in Prince Rupert and had the good fortune of having the time, health and fitness to explore a lot of the lakes, creeks, ridges and mountainsides around Work Channel, I feel incredibly blessed. In winter, I've ski toured a bunch up Skip Mountain just west of the beginning of the Work Channel road. Such a unique, mostly unspoiled neck of the woods and in all my time hiking, canoueing and ski touring around that area, never ran into another soul apart from the trusty companions I was with. Paradise.

[@BrianLitke-yj6qw]

There is a reason why the vehicle license plates have BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA on them! We need to appreciate and respect this awesome place. Another great show, thanks.

[@stephenclark6027]

Saturday morning coffee and Destination Adventure. A great way to start the weekend. Thank you for another great video. I am so thankful for you taking us to see all of these amazing places.

[@jamesevans164]

G'day Bloody great idea Steve! Jim in the Outback of West Aus.

[@stephenclark6027]

Good morning jim, it’s amazing how far reaching this channel is. From Oregon all the way to the outback.

[@aussiefirestorm]

Thank you for bringing us into a living Bob Ross painting.

[@guidoschnelzer942]

He couldn't have put that split mountain in a better spot.

[@williamwilliam728]

We need to rename this channel...Destination Enjoyment! I enjoy every one-liner, chuckle, and misadventure you skillfully video for us Dustin.

[@Vivianblue.]

Up late on a Saturday night in Australia, dont mind the fact that I'm at home in the warmth watching Dustin adventuring in spectacular surroundings. Love your work mate, keep up the awesome journey. Life is a highway. ❤ 😊 🇦🇺

[@RobsNeighbor]

Dustin has the best editing and with that comes music, that is what gets me is how well you tie music with emotion, I am at a loss for descriptive words. The Best!

[@Colwood22]

Your drone footage is nothing short of amazing, you are right, there is no place like B.C. (Being born on Vancouver Island and vacationing all over B.C. I just realized we have everything in this province that you could want) keep up the good work your channel is awesome.

[@Destination_Adventure]

Thank you.

[@tunzlover1682]

Freakin great episode! Empty pots and full hearts surrounded by priceless nature. Great work adventurers!!!

[@michaelmacdonald7342]

Refreshing to see someone that can repair their own vehicle, so many "overland presenters" run into problems and can't repair them themselves. I can't imagine driving off into a remote area and not being confident that I could repair the vehicle that I depend on. Like always, great scenery, great editing, I am sure the video does not do justice to these places, I am falling in love with BC.

[@Destination_Adventure]

I’m always amazed when I meet folks broke down in the middle of nowhere and they have no tools or knowledge of their rig. Scary.

[@Mystic_Light]

In 1954, lobsters were introduced to the waters near Prince Rupert, and have met with some success. So yes, that was a lobster, albeit very young. It might be time for a winch, Dustin! Great episode, thank you for the beautiful views! 😍

[@osmia]

[@KirkOlsen-qi5ls]

That was a squat lobster. Native species and that is full grown. Still good eating though

[@osmia]

@@KirkOlsen-qi5ls Thanks for chiming in

[@Mystic_Light]

@@KirkOlsen-qi5ls interesting. Apparently, two new species were discovered in 2023 off the Coast of Pacific Japan. They're all so tiny, you'd need a pot full to make a meal of them.

[@BombproofCraftsman]

@@Mystic_Lightsend some Cajuns, they’ll show you how it’s done! 😆

[@ginrobi01]

Watching the cub play peekaboo from behind the log with your drone ... has to be the sweetest thing I've ever seen. And I'll never get enough of your scenic shots. They make my jaw drop every time, so unbelievably beautiful, calming, almost serene. How is it that Nat. Geo. isn't beating down your door to get those shots from you, I'll never understand.

[@linda4th]

Wonderful scenery, and the bear shots were incredible. The humour had me laughing. It has to be another Dustin Masterpiece. Thank you xx

[@Destination_Adventure]

Thank you😊

[@valerieparr4454]

I heard so much about Work Channel I convinced hubby to drive in. The potholes were endless! It took us an entire hour to go 10 km. For sure I thought we were going to be the only ones there but we broke out to the channel to find motorhomes, trucks and boats everywhere. Hardier souls than me! This was pre-landslide closure days.

[@jwfinley7808]

The Girl with you is Beautiful very Beautiful have a nice trip!!

[@paulipuhakka8788]

My dad being old school mechanic once told me, in case you have a gasket leak, use cardboard from a cereal box. I had a gasket let go while in the Yukon, traced out the gasket, cut out, installed it, and didn’t replace it for five years 👍 No pun intended, but, food for thought when you have that issue when you are alone out there. Cheers from Chilliwack Dustin👍😎

[@mytinyjourney]

Technology is such a double edged sword sometimes but the ability to get the close ups of the grizzlies with the drone is priceless. They don’t have a clue what that thing is and it’s funny to see. Great vid as always !

[@gregwoollacott2618]

Dustin, as a 72 year old fisherman who was raised in Kitimat and who has lived on Haida Gwaii, I learned early on that the best place to crab was at the mouth of creeks and rivers. These systems bring down a lot of material that form perfect sandy/gravel fans where crabs like to hang out. If these creeks and rivers support spawning salmon, all the better. Being scavengers, crabs love to feed on remains of spawned salmon carcasses that are brought downstream. Crabs also like to hang out in eel grass beds. Hope this helps in your quest to get a full pot of "dungees" 😊 Take care and stay safe.

[@brannonbrown22]

That is some of the most spectacular drone footage I have ever seen. Beautiful scenery!

[@Destination_Adventure]

Thank you.

[@katheriner9970]

Honestly, seeing you struggle a bit but maintain your humor is kinda cathartic. Like we are with you on that part of the adventure too.

[@gooilers5408]

It’s like watching Bob Ross when you show the clips with just your soft music in the background. Absolutely magnificent! We need to enjoy this everyone as I’m sure Dustin will be signed by some mega million dollars company soon. You’re amazing Dustin!

[@Destination_Adventure]

That’s very nice to say, thank you.

[@iainpaton1865]

Every time I watch your channel -videos friend it makes me want to visit Canada such a beautiful country please keep the great videos coming friend. From Scotland 😊🎉🎉

[@98Zai]

Sealife is so weird! That little crayfish, what a star! The bears looked like they had just woke up! Great shirt at the end!

[@pentelli1450]

Wow..... Spectacular imagery in the drone video Justin, that is Award winning worthy Justin. Every bit as good as Wings over Canada, thank you.

[@brad9745]

Your videos are ALWAYS so calming to my soul,no matter how chaotic life gets. Thank you..

[@Maulzy23]

Cheap yoga mat for working under the truck in a parking lot. Pro tip. Amazing video mate, just beautiful

[@Destination_Adventure]

Great idea.

[@michellebreau1124]

What a lovely Saturday morning with Destination Adventure and Ms. Emi. Much love!

[@jamorg2306]

Hey Dustin, I watch your videos all the time. Great job! 2 tips: Crabs like the mix of fresh and salt water in river delta's, traps should be about 75 feet. Prawns really really really like Carlysle cat food in the can, punch holes in can and set trap at 250ft minimum. I use 450 foot prawn lines and regularly fish at 325+ feet. . Lead line is not required if you weight the line in the middle. Weights can be found at any fishing store. I weight my crab lines too and use about 125 foot lines to account for tidal action. Keep up the great work. I would get yourself a Scotty Trap-Ease roller for your boat. It will save the tube when pulling line and makes it way easier to pull. Cheers from Vancouver Island.

[@seansteede]

Oh Dustin, another fantastic episode. The combination of scenery, humour, and your top notch editing just never let me down, but this one was just that much more special. The scenes of the granite rock coming out of the mist, or how you caught the Grizzlies doing what they do. The Provincial Government should be sending you 5 or 6 digit figures for the promotion of this great place we live....but I know that's not the point. Still, so happy you've been able to capture the magnificence of it all and share with so many that will never see the places you go. Thank you.

[@Destination_Adventure]

Thank you very much. 😊

[@westcoastislander6699]

Saturday is the best KZbin day. Foresty Forest and Destination Adventures. Both showcasing our most amazing British Columbia. As always, your video was totally WOW. Never get tired of the scenery. Fun seeing all the griz. We had our first in person encounter since moving to the Kootenays with mummy griz and two cubs last week on a bike ride. Had a good chuckle watching Dustin do the Superman crab pot retrieval. And nice to see Emi at the helm. Thanks so much for this!

[@Destination_Adventure]

Very nice comment, thank you.

[@wilfordwiggins3894]

Absolutely stunning, world class scenery. Expertly filmed, Porter is a talented man. Just cant get enough of this content.

[@Destination_Adventure]

I appreciate that, thank you.

[@sled9263]

Yep. The mighty 12 valve is a legendary engine! Forever engine! Wow! The drone is such a wonderful piece of technology to get amazing images and leave the wildlife basically undisturbed. Love it!

[@StevenWiebe]

My family was in Rupert for 16 years. Dad ran that wee school on Digby back in the day and then Kanata Elementary (which is now gone). Absolutely love being able to go back in time by watching your adventures around Rupert. Sure brings back the memories of all us kids piled into the station wagon hitting each other almost as often as we hit potholes. Best of luck on your adventures up north.

[@GoingMock2]

I just got done with a visit to Canada and Alaska. I took 100s of pictures and none of them do the locations justice. Your videos do a great job!

[@jwfinley7808]

I know the feeling liveing in a place like that. cell phones didnt work? Too many trees for a dish! I love it and I miss it! People are happier with out people!

[@cathyp4342]

Beautiful bald eagle at 12:35 in tree? Spectacular drone footage. I am enjoying this trip!

[@Danvie777]

It isn’t for not that the name Beautiful British Columbia is apropos. As always Dustin, you bring us fantastic photography of one of the most beautiful places in the world, that is BC. You are a great photographer. Thanks for all the work that is required to present top notch quality presentations. BTW, it’s nice to see someone travelling with you. Cheers.

[@Awsom47Merc]

Hey Dustin & Emmy ! The Cummins isn't leaking it's marking it's territory ! Pre-planning is the way to go. Great installment . Later 👊😎👍

[@verndog2158]

You are such a talented film maker and storyteller. Thank you for taking us along.

[@Destination_Adventure]

Thank you so much.

[@valeriefrench9405]

My deceased husband (local Hawaiian boy) worked for a prawn farm. It was fresh water prawns ( man made ponds) on North shore Oahu, Hawaii and they were huge and so delicious. They would stretch a long net across each side of narrow end a guy holding each side wearing dive suits and walking the nets the length of the ponds rotating ponds. Each Friday a different guy would get to take 5 lbs bonus. There were only like 5 guys so it came around often. The prawns usually have that sharp horn on head and huge in size. The mist in Hawaiian is Sanoe my daughter’s middle name. It reminds me of Hawaii.

[@unknowncaveman]

I always love that you can tell, very visually, where the tide stops. That straight line all around the land, looks like an artist made it. That day looks perfect, rain, no rain, simply perfect.

[@johnjensen8470]

By far and away some of your most exquisite work Dustin! Truly breathtaking!

[@Destination_Adventure]

@@johnjensen8470 thank you very much. 😊

[@michelairolo]

The footage from the drone was just incredible , better than a NatGeo documentary , it really captured the viewer , you can almost smell the salty mist and the spruce .. Yo guys are doing a great job together. Thank you Dustin , keep going 👍 Cheers from Switzerland

[@ctd92dad]

Work Channel is absolutely magnificent. It just takes me back to Jackman, Maine and all the high country that surrounds it; Boundary Bald Mtn, Sandy Bay Mtn, and Slidedown Mtn were my office for 9 years. Yeah wild country. No grizzies, but Black Bear for sure. The only way you'd see them is driving down a logging road, come around a curve and BAM, there it is staring at cha. A second later, POOF, its gone. Love these episodes of Work Channel. It sounds like it was maybe a logging area. Best to you and Emmy (she perks up the channel)

[@tonysutcliffe6268]

Another incredible episode if there was a KZbin award for cinematography you would own it, crack on .❤

[@chunkylover53ataol]

Stealing a quote from Field of Dreams; "Is this Heaven?" Spectacular scenery and as always remarkable overall production! Love it.

[@DocJ58-OCB]

THANKS Captain D., I was NOT having a great Saturday (and it was only 9:45 AM) but once I watched the video, saw the bears, and another little piece of the incredibly beautiful province I was lucky enough to be born in (even tho I'm in Ontario now) it lifted my down spirits and it's gonna carry me through the rest of the day on a great note. You and " 1st mate Emi" stay safe, don't play tag with the bears...lol... and just enjoy....Thanks again Dustin, you do amazing work, the content is exquisite, and I get such a kick out of the fun you have getting SKUNKED by the prawns and the Dungies...Take care, much love and Peace out, from Doc, in the Great White (now all green and damp, and headed into summer) North of southern Ontario, Canada...🦫🦫🐻🐻🐻🟥🍁🟥

[@sharong8511]

Good morning Doc. Your comment is nice. Have a great weekend.

[@cherylsibson2529]

Hey, Emi and Dustin, You'll get your pots full of crap and prawns soon enough, from what I know, the crabs and prawns, they like " real chicken pieces" not the canned chicken, and keep trying! The views were amazing, gorgeous, stunning! Glad your have a good time. Emi is great!

[@seufie]

I've been to work Channel many times. Never have I noticed such beauty. Especially those grizzlies. Thanks for sharing another adventure.

[@daveschofield9448]

Great Saturday morning coffee with Dustin. My dog looks at me funny every time watching . Because you always make me Laugh and show me cool places!! Looking forward to next Saturday!

[@1603shadow]

Such a great video, we’re not here for your fishing skills but for your spectacular drone work showcasing the majesty of the north coast of British Columbia.

[@amongthewild3010]

Love your videos so much. Im moving back to Rupert after 26 years of being in Vancouver (grew up in rupert) and your videos make me feel at home again. Thanks for showcasing the beauty of the north so well.

[@stevenbridge]

Another great vid Dustin. Loved those Griz! We used to dive for shrimp (prawns) at night. They come up to 50-60 ft. and we would get enough for a small shrimp salad for both of us. I don't really think it was worth the effort but it sure was beautiful.

[@curlysonthemove]

That little cub was the cutest... The way you caught it poking its head out... Looked to be curious about the drown... Great video, as always, Dustin... Thank you...

[@Ancestral_Atom]

Every episode is amazing and those slow pans with the drone...enough to bring a tear to my eye! Paired with your epic taste in music...Thank you Dustin! We love joining you on your adventures!

[@JohnHill-qo3hb]

Really enjoyed the curiosity of the Grizzly cub and the application of caution by mother Grizzly. WOW, just WOW. Thank you for taking us along on these adventures, places known only to the scant locals, what a fantastic country we have the privilege of living in brought home to all of us where ever that may be.

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

These videos just keep getting better and better. I could watch videos of the places you film for hours upon hours. It is so pristine and beautiful up there.

[@Destination_Adventure]

Thank you

[@andyvandermeer1932]

Great to see you make it into Work Channel. It is a nice part of our backyard. I once had 2 young 3-4 year old grizzlies approach me as I was launching my canoe into the estuary of the Lachmach river in the fall several years ago. They stopped when I beat my paddle on the side of my canoe but I soon came to realize that all they wanted to do was head upstream to fish for salmon so I had my buddy with the gun come to me from the road and the bears went around and made their way to their secret fishing spot! Pretty amazing how quiet they were as they approached me unnoticed. Not so much of a threat just wanted to go fishing. I am sure those bears are the overflow of Khutzeeymateen Provincial Park as it is only a few mountain passes away. Have a great trip North and keep up the great videos!

[@waynebaker2824]

Such beautiful backwoods country of British Columbia. Those bear shots were my favorites. The colorings of them.was remarkable..you can tell.emmi is in completr awe of everything.

[@michaelchase418]

Dammit, i grew up poor. We had a lot of break downs (usually on vacations 🤣) Road trips don't feel right if there isn't a mechanical issue along the way. Except two times. I broke down around the steens mountains and I was unprepared, and on a logging road up to tidbits mountain 25 miles from the nearest road. I coasted down the road till I was 5 miles to the paved road and got a flat tire and didn't have a cell phone. That was in the Nokia days. A Nokia of one of he patrons of the camp ground back at the paved road I walked to had service and I called my dad to come up and rescue me.
