A YouTubers Retreat with my EDITORS in TOFINO

[@PghPA81]

What I like most about this is how you show how much you value your team.

[@itsnotme07]

You are wicked good at taking "us" to places we've never been to Mike and team!! Keep on doing that!! Thanks for yet another part of the Vancouver area I have not visited (ok, ALL of Vancouver BC...lol) Until the next video... That car at Hotel Zed? 1969 Chevrolet Kingswood Estate station wagon

[@harrybutler1828]

Thanks Mike. In another life, I lived in Parksville. Have been to and seen all the places in this video. Brings back so many pleasant memories. Thanks again.

[@mikechadwick8163]

Nice one Mike. BC just keeps delivering! As does the team! Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to the next 'mystery destination'.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

It was nice to spend time with your team getting to know each other a little better. Really liked seeing your favorite place, Tofino. Enjoyed meetIng Warwick & Matt! Looking forward to your next adventure. Have a nice week.

[@lenlabrie4487]

I love the west coast, especially during the storm season as well as the zodiac whale watching tours!

[@bobtuckey2409]

I love the rainforest hike too. So awesome. I’m hoping to stay in Ucluelet this summer. Thanks for sharing.🙂

[@petermladinic8249]

Looks like a good times was had by all at Top Bridge Park. Great trees in Cathedral Grove! And Tofino, what a cool hotel. Thanks for a great video, Mike, great editing team!

[@natedicksonmedia]

Great job involving the team in the videos lately. Editors are usually the unsung heroes of KZbin!

[@DownieLive]

They are, so we might as well sing them!

[@jamesavey4557]

Thanks for adding to my travel bucket list! Cheers Mike.

[@thecraftypreschooler8263]

I love when people discover new and amazing parts of their home province and are wowed by them. I recently discovered a video on Tripping the Rideau Canal and was wowed by the fact this is in Ontario. Your video are just inspiring on how to discover Canada. thank you for doing what you do.

[@brandonpeniuk]

Another spectacular video. Hmmm I wonder where you can go next time? May be Australia. Your editor could show what it's like down under.

[@Makuroo]

I love to travel and I like what you did on your trip by just enjoying the nature.

[@terencetuer3403]

Your videos are such a good reminder of so many vacations I went on prior to covid. I can't wait to go back to some of them. Thank you for bringing back so many great memories.

[@John_Fugazzi]

First time I went to British Columbia was Vancouver Island. It's an incredible place. Been back a few times and still so much I haven't seen.

[@johnallred716]

Very Cool Mike. I've been in small team building events like what you all did. You did this one spot on. Love the Zed's Cali vibe.

[@AL-grhvc]

Warwick,Matt,Mike..this trio rocks 🎥💯🎞⭐️👏👏👏

[@geraldb9706]

Great episode and glad you three had a blast. I’ve only been to Victoria way back in the ‘80’s so I’m way overdue to get back to the Island. Tofino and area is definitely on my bucket list, even more now after watching this. Peace and Calm. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦

[@christix1491]

Ukee/Tofino are among my fav places in the world! I could smell Cathedral Grove & Long Beach. Didn’t know about the rainforest trail, I’ll check it next time! I love the Lighthouse Loop in Ucluelet. Stopping at those smoothed out rocks is a must next time I go.

[@evanparachoniak8568]

I agree!

[@siobhancrawford7236]

So great to meet the team! Its clear to see that it just works. xxx

[@marlenemacfarlane6199]

Great video enjoying your time with your friends ❤️❤️

[@cindypodritske5007]

I have lived in many different parts of BC. Grew up on Vancouver Island. Grad from NDSS 84. But one of my favourite places is Northern BC in the peace region by Fort St John. Beautiful scenery. Largest earth Dam and man made lake in BC. Go during early September to see the leaves change and better chance of hearing the Northern lights. I volunteered with the North Peace Search and rescue team and they will be a good source of seeing the back country.

[@chewar7537]

Always love your videos!!! Your energy is incredible, and so fun to watch your adventures. Can't wait to see more, I always look forward to the notification that there is a new one! You three looked like you had a blast, thanks for sharing the beautiful area you were in.

[@michaelformaini7053]

That was a great way to have a strategy planning retreat, Mike. It's amazing what people don't realise is in their own backyard. During COVID lockdowns, I found some amazing things, even within my immediate neighbourhood, I didn't know existed during my confined exercise walks. You certainly opened up the experiences of Vancouver Island with Matt and Warwick. Warwick HAS come halfway around the world by all accounts. I thought I detected an Aussie accent there. Great to know you have a down to earth pair of friends to back up your KZbin channel. Keep em' comin'! Cheers from Michael downunder in Melbourne.

[@moseslaw3804]

Great to see your crew. I was in Ucluelet and Tofino two years ago, it was so refreshing place for us to take a deep breath

[@baronetessdawson]

British Columbia is so Stunning Lions Gate!!! The Editors are Fantastic

[@natatatt]

Another great detour on the way to/from Tofino or Ucluelet is Englishman River Falls Provincial Park. Really impressive waterfall.

[@pruittiii]

The Zed Hotel... Awesome. Should have filmed a spoof of "That 70's Show" while there. And that vintage station wagon! I remember when every other person's Mom had one like it. Great video!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Hotel Zed is actually giving ‘60s Vibes. It’s so groovy 🔥

[@bethanlewis9986]

I'm coming over next month, so looking forward to visiting these places for the first time in person, and Canada for the first time

[@williamthawley9251]

when via rail was running on the island, took it from victoria to nanaimo, and the the ferry to horshoe bay and back to vancouver. the island is really quite beautiful.

[@pjk1714]

If you enjoyed that, try Algonquin Provincial Park and Muskoka. Now that would be nice to see. Thanks for sharing.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I never realised that Mike, Matt and Warwick doing groovy dancing would make me so happy ♥️

[@Bull3tBikes]

I loved this video the old growth forests are so beautiful I’m glad to live in this part of the world, also it’s real cool to see entire team of the channel , Matt is great he reminds me sooo much of my little brother, in appearance and also just his chill attitude and always has a smile on his face great job dudes.

[@davidmantler4286]

After your long two month journey across the country. Must be nice to head to the road again. Vancouver Island must be awesome to see.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

This is so fun to watch! I lived off grid on Chester Beach, Tofino, for 2+ years.

[@MinutesWithMates]

Hey Michael, you know there are some great rail journeys down here. You could cross 2/3 of the continent by train. Cairns to Brisbane on a bullet train (1700km), the South Easter from Brisbane to Adelaide via Sydney and Melbourne (a 3 day journey with great stops), Adelaide to Darwin on the Great Ghan (2 day journey plus great stops on the way), and Adelaide to Perth on the Indian Pacific (another long journey with great stops). Love to see you guys give these a go. Oh and yeah, we have tons of forest like that (from the tropical jungles in the north, to the cold climate forest in the south and the alpine forest in the Australian Alps). Our forests are world heritage and many of them are among the oldest living forests on the planet, especially the Gondwana forests of the east and south.

[@phyllisogis129]

Thanks for taking us along…many happy memories of this trip over the years…Cathedral Grove, hot springs…and beaches…all good. 🥂

[@hwelch2]

Did you see that CRA...a work trip! Thanks for taking us along, now I can't wait to see it in person.😊

[@DownieLive]

😄😉

[@danielc56]

More Vancouver Island videos, please! That place is gorgeous. I’ve only ever been once, for a couple days in Victoria and Salt Spring Island. Would love to see a “ @DownieLive Travels Vancouver Island” series. No trains, but a ton of boats and communities and people. 🙂❤️👍🏽

[@petermclean1576]

Awesome vid fellas, looking forward to what’s comming next…Tofino looks sweet as! Must visit !

[@penstemona9933]

Thanks for the nice videos. Re @ 8:20, an even better unrecommended and unvisited rainforest loop walk is west across the highway, the old Spruce Fringe Trail. The first hundred feet of boardwalk has been dismantled and the rest has not been maintained for well over a decade (the trail head has signage that says Closed and Danger or Keep Out) but if one can push through the heavily overgrown sections, crawl over and under the windfall, and tip-toe around too rotten boardwalk, the still walkable and now totally secluded sections are the best forest walk in the Park!

[@TM-qj4yr]

I love this vlog. It was nice to see you all coming to Vancouver Island as I live in Victoria.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Your Crew is awesome. This Video is a fun day at the office 😂

[@Bopplz]

I was born on the island and lived literally a 5 minute drive from the coombs market for a couple years, it's nice to see all those places again, I gotta go back soon. Great video as always!

[@davidburrow5895]

One of my best travel memories was of Pacific Rim National Park. We stayed in Ucluelet rather than Tofino, but it really was an amazing experience.

[@APTeamE]

Love the out door the hotel is wonderful

[@petermcclung9730]

Tofino is one of my favorite spots. You took us to many many many of our favorites

[@thecraftypreschooler8263]

a boat trip down the entire Rideau canal through all of its lift locks, how would that be for your next trip? Wait did I already say I was now addicted to finding out more about the Rideau.... Well done everyone.

[@seanstampley9739]

Yes! Good to see my Canadian Brotha' and Crew!!

[@robert-jeanray2701]

Looking forward to watching your new adventures.

[@lyndabenner1634]

Success again Mike and it didn't even have a train! Hope you accomplished goals for up coming videos, you and the guys are super.

[@DownieLive]

Fingers crossed!

[@TravelWorldWithSara]

I love your video as always. My plan is to travel to Tofino in summer. Thanks for sharing 😘

[@HELENation]

WOW! Gotta bookmark this one cuz I wanna go there as well!!! 😍

[@brianfraser2495]

I have been to Tofino and Uclulet before but you show us places out there never seen until now.

[@bradmack8953]

Matt is such a cutie, I just want to give him a big hug. Another great vid Mike. xx

[@kristianaldrin]

☺️

[@DownieLive]

Thanks Kristian!!! I’m still hoping I run into you around Vancouver sometime.

[@kristianaldrin]

@@DownieLive same ! 🤩🤓

[@kristianaldrin]

Your crew is amazing 🤩 Mike such awesome energy 🤓😎

[@DownieLive]

The best!

[@lenlabrie4487]

Perhaps a trip to Princess Louisa marine park on the Sunshine Coast. A nights stay at the West Coast Wilderness lodge then their zodiac trip up to the falls as well as the Skookumchuck narrows.

[@MattMort]

There's no one I'd rather be BREAKFAST BOIS with ❤️

[@Cmgolfers]

Another trip to make is to Cape Scott on the north end of the Island

[@barbb]

Have never been to Tofino, might have to go there. Great video

[@gailhalloshry410]

next trip.....ferry over to Port Angeles and visit Lake Crescent Lodge and Hurricane ridge!

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Mike, what’s great about you is you know what’s important. I love that. Keep it simple.

[@mariahaselsberger4856]

oh myyy.. thanks a lot for sharing this!! back in 2017 visited quite a few of the places you've showed them.. nice 'revisit' :D

[@candacejackson5044]

Adding Hotel Zed to map of places to check out. Hopefully another visit to Canada might be in the future in the next year or so. Million subscribers trip........a few national parks around Calgary.

[@hazelt9953]

Great to see, thank you! x

[@georges7340]

Man this was fun!! Always a pleasure to come along on your adventure and you are so lucky to have this place in "your backyard"! Thank you Mike and crew!😉😉😉

[@DownieLive]

Thanks again!

[@Bibblesworth]

As a Nanaimo native I've enjoyed the local content you always put out, really gets people a great look at the world we're lucky enough to live in! Have you ever considered doing a video on the Port Hardy to Prince Rupert Inside Passage ferry? I could be mistaken but I believe it's the longest Ferry in Canada at 15 hours long at 274 nautical miles. It runs as day trips during the summer but is a super unique experience when it runs overnight during the fall/spring/winter. Either way it's a gorgeous ferry ride up the coast, almost more like a cruise than anything. It's an experience that I don't think you could get anywhere else in the country, or perhaps even in North America! Would make for a really neat video showcasing a lesser known gem of the province.

[@DownieLive]

I have done it before, but I didn’t film it. I have considered doing it again to film, but I think I have a very similar but bigger experience coming up.

[@strawberryshortcakemitchell]

Love your vilogs💖 Keep em coming Mike

[@lisaanderson8235]

Ok, The Hotel Zed? Can I move in? 😆All the nostalgia! AND shag carpet!

[@carina-leahbertuccelli9496]

Michael, Beautiful once again! We always look forward to where Michael will take us next each week. Your Team seems like great people and spirits. Your Parents have raised you well. Be a Lovely, Caring Person and Spirit and this is what you attract back to you. We wish you So much Success In your adventures and your channel . Please keep taking us with you and your team. You and your Family and Team Stay Safe and Well! 🌺

[@karenjordan5731]

Great team!

[@mem6282]

I keep eyeing the film camera 😂😂 but it still hard to say what it is. Great video 👍

[@MrMicsau]

hey Mike, love your channel. I visited a lot of BC small towns and I highly recommend visiting Haida Gwaii. The locals might get hangry at me for saying this 😄

[@DownieLive]

I’d love to see Haida Gwaii! Thanks for the recommendation

[@Brick-Life]

Great to take you editors around and have them appear on video!

[@lynnettefranks]

Vancouver Island is so rugged and beautiful! Living in Washington, I've been to BC many times. However, I've not quite made it to the Island. Definitely on my bucket list for some hiking after your video! -Lynnette

[@lynda.grace.14]

I simply have to say it: Wow! 😆

[@monicacockerham4786]

You should explore Hudson Bay in Manitoba. I would love to see that.

[@DownieLive]

Monica, I have! I did a 3 part series going to see the polar bears! It was amazing!

[@judgedredd8657]

Born and raised on the island. Moved away many years ago. Would love to move back.

[@bert2kewl]

I grew up in port alberni, the last stop before you get to Tofino!

[@katherineniotis4900]

Why don't you and your friends go to the Sunshine Coast or Explore Boen Island BC..🙂🙂👍👍

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Cathedral Grove is just so beautiful 🤩

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Missed Opportunity to set a Wow Counter for Matt and Warwick.

[@joshyyy23]

Love a classic 🙌

[@imapisces1]

Mike! You didn't go to the hot springs. Only available by local boat, minimal times of the year in Tofino. 😖

[@DownieLive]

Don't be mad, I have a whole video on it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqnPpX6Bl7d4Zs0

[@timmyangeltlc4888]

Come to Wisconsin and visit Wisconsin Dells and Cave of the Mounds. I think you would love it. The Dells are known as the water park capital of the world.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

2:31 Mike did that Generic KZbinr impression to the t and then breaking character 😂

[@scottkasmiske1643]

Hey guys great video! We’ve stayed in Tofino a couple of times thru the years but I was wondering the name of the place you stayed in Ucluelet? Thanks.

[@caroleingram5278]

Wow!! I love my country! 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

[@PokhrajRoy.]

4:42 PARKOUR 🔥

[@charjones5267]

Welcome to the island 🏝 man

[@Stinaz584]

Working with a BChydo safety guy and he said he grew up in Vancouver island. Very nice !

[@zumezoom9593]

What time is the last boat scheduled from wherever to the island? How long of a drive to tofino after?

[@JenLMcCarty]

I love watching your boys be forest fanboys like my friends with dogs or a movie or a swimming pool. Adorable.

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

great video

[@dylangideon9]

[@fortuna240]

[@WaynoGur]

I would love to see your take on the Calgary Stampede.

[@DownieLive]

Ohhh good one, Wayne! I'll see if I can make that happen.

[@WaynoGur]

@@DownieLive add Canada Day Celebration too. BTW I am not Canadian but have very dear friends in Brockville. Hey add the Thousand Islands area to your bucket list next time you are in Ontario.
