Expedition Nova Scotia - FULL MOVIE

June of 2018
Join us on our overland adventure to Nova Scotia. In this trip we traveled thousands of miles through North Eastern US - New Brunswick Canada - Prince Edward Island - Nova Scotia - Maine - Acadia National Park - Bay of Fundy - Tons of ferry crossings. And our pursuit to find the BEST lobster roll along our path! Cape Breton Island was especially beautiful! We couldn’t see it all but we sure hit some destination highlights! This trip had some of the most beautiful camping spots and geography for overlanding, and we had an incredible time! This video is the full length version of the Nova Scotia series published over the summer of 2019. The overland trailer XVenture XV-3 was the perfect companion for this type of travel. We could keep all of our camping gear in the trailer while keeping the Jeep JK clear for personal items. Having a light basecamp makes all the difference. Overlanding with a dog turned out to be easier than we thought as well.
Over 4500 miles traveled and worth every min in the seat.

HEAD OVER AND WATCH OUR EXPEDITION NEWFOUNDLAND!!!

[@Mechelle6564]

I just recently relocated to Nova Scotia for work as a travel nurse and because of this amazing video, I’m going to be doing a lot of sightseeing in this beautiful province. Excellent job!

[@OverlandPioneers]

Wonderful! It’s packed full of amazing spots

[@sterlinghuskins9220]

I'm a senior citizen who now lives in New Brunswick but I grew up in Nova Scotia on the south shore. I have visited some of the places in your video. If you should find your way back again, proceed from Lunenburg along the coast line to Mahone Bay, Bridgewater, Liverpool, Lockeport, (I grew up across the bay from Lockeport), Shelburne, Yarmouth and finally Digby. Stick to the original old roads as much as possible. I saw you were in Halls Harbor, (which I have also visited), but you should continue through the Annapolis Valley to Truro and wind your way back into New Brunswick. As you know there are many other side trips you could take along the way. I loved your quest for a good lobster roll. My father was a lobster fisherman so I grew up eating lobster. A few years ago my wife and I did a trip around the south shore and I tried a new fish chowder each day. Never really had a bad one! One more thing - if you are ever in Maine again there is a place called the Eagle's Nest in Brewer, Maine, next door to Bangor. A rather bare bones place but awesome lobster rolls and great food in general! Happy trailering!

[@myohmy839]

If you liked that, you will LOVE Newfoundland!

[@girlnorthof60]

My thoughts as well!

[@AD-ew6cy]

Newfoundland is heaven

[@seriouslyinsanediva]

I left my heart in Newfoundland!

[@rararave648]

And don't forget to be screeched in.

[@twistedfrannie9311]

I'm a Nova Scotian, grew up in a fishing community and yes, it's true ...if someone is in trouble on the water and you have a boat you give assistance no matter what....next time it could be you needing the help. After the Swiss Air crash, it was fishermen who responded first, looking for survivors 💔 and continued to help in recovery efforts of remains. Beautiful video, hopefully you come back and have an opportunity to tour the places you didn't this time. You seriously cracked me up with your commentary on the US border agents, 🤣🤣🤣 yeah ....TSA is like that too.....I love how friendly Canadian agents are.

[@trafalgar1938]

Couldn't have said it better. Even ending up in a snow bank everyone stops to help I've never seen anyone just pass by.

[@bettycorn9412]

I'm from NS and this video made me appreciate my province so much more!

[@oldmangamer3325]

So happy you had a great time. Come back and visit again. From all of us at Atlantic Canada Overland

[@ronthibeau2862]

I’ve lived in Nova Scotia for 38 years. This is the best video I’ve seen. However you missed the lobster capital of the world and the best lobster rolls when you didn’t get to Yarmouth Nova Scotia. You will have to come back.

[@OverlandPioneers]

Ron Thibeau wow!!!! Thank you! We had to cut one day out and that was the day... next time! We loved NS we will be back some day!

[@N8URNURD]

^ This is a fact.

[@mmcguire5687]

Damn, no Yarmouth! Only reason I watched this. Originally from Yarmouth now living in Alberta. I run an 08 Suburban, lifted, significant engine mods and a Tepui RTT.

[@robertblanchard6196]

What about rustico pei?

[@lowellgeddes8996]

@@OverlandPioneers Being from Cape Breton I really enjoyed the video and your kind words about out beautiful island.....And you are right about Meat Cove..I try to make it a yearly trip there..Its good for the soul..God Bless..hurry back...

[@mushroomsteve]

For great car camping in Nova Scotia, I recommend Kejimkujik National Park. When I was a kid, I used to go there with my family in the 1970's. Such a beautiful place.

[@girlnorthof60]

Same- Keji, as we called it..great memories as a kid.

[@andrewcoombs3233]

I've lived in Nova Scotia my whole life and I wouldn't change it for anything

[@jonathontsamantanis]

Beautiful shots, Im a maritimer glad you saw the beauty I see everyday. Great job and what a cute lil camper friend you have.

[@yousfifathi2057]

Amazing video for an amazing trip 🤩 thank you for the quality

[@andrewhannam.]

As a Nova Scotian glad you enjoyed your stay! You were so close to Annapolis Royal the original capital of the nation and has some of the oldest colonial buildings in North America

[@kyo6129]

The Cabot Trail during the fall ( Festival of Colors) is stunning. Love my Home province

[@girlnorthof60]

Magnificent! 😍 It's Xmas Eve 2020, I'm in the Yukon (28 yrs) - my family in NS, NB & PEI- who I haven't seen in years. My stomping ground, the East Coast. I cried throughout this video (Blom./Cape Split, Hall's Hrbr, + all of Cape Breton) Thank you for giving me a trip *almost* back home ❤ Thank you, just what my 'COVID-chilled' heart needed! ❤ 👍 *Fab footage/editing/voice-over*📹

[@OverlandPioneers]

Wow! You are welcome. Who knew this year would have been this bad. We missed out on another beautiful trip to a different part of Canada. Here’s to 2021!

[@marksabean6673]

Yup I’m in new minas

[@davidyates1860]

Glace bay cape Breton here

[@cmdguitar158]

As a maritimer it looks as if you did that trip the right way. Glad you enjoyed Nova Scotia.

[@OverlandPioneers]

We tried! Many hrs of planning.

[@AdventureJumping]

Hey Jeremiah, what an amazing trip! I loved your video footage...I’m from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and we are really proud of our Province...and you and your family did it proud. As a few of the comments mentioned, there is so much more to discover in Nova Scotia, I hope you get a chance to return, bring some friends with you next time, we can promise you beautiful beaches, amazing water falls, friendly people and all the lobster you can eat. Hope you can make it back someday.

[@OverlandPioneers]

I’d love to hang in an area longer! Just so much ground to cover in not a lot of time. If we had one or two more days Yarmouth was the plan.

[@drclaw9864]

Hey, what do you think about the fact that these people violated environmental protection acts in both PEI and NS by driving and parking a vehicle onto the beach?

[@derekmosher4561]

So glad you guys enjoyed your trip through the Maritimes , it`s a beautiful place .

[@bobwakefield7875]

I lIved in Maces Bay right across the Bay of Fundy from New River Beach for 9 years before heading to Ontario. Thanks for making an excellent vid about Southern NB and NS! I sure do miss the slow pace of life, the excellent food, and the friendly people. Can't wait to get back down east!

[@annekelouwrens275]

Wow. That was amazing. Thanks for sharing all the beauty with us. From South Africa.

[@reidrobicheau9661]

absolutely love how you put the map waypoints as part of your video, gave it an amazing feel (especially of the coastline). Great touch! I'll watch more videos

[@kimbourque2832]

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised when we discovered this program and absolutely loved it! Being Bluenosers we were so impressed with this close to home experience! So happy to see our American cousins enjoying the trip! It allowed us to also enjoy parts of Newfoundland we’ve never been! Well done and thank you❤️

[@OverlandPioneers]

Best trip we have ever taken!

[@robchambers4092]

Amazing video showcasing so many of our beautiful places. Thanks for visiting and sharing!

[@deanflint2239]

I heartily agree, we stayed in a cottage in Ingonish, NS for several summers enjoying fresh cod, Queen crab, and Lobster!!!!

[@susancurrie9246]

I'm so excited you visited my native land Nova Scotia I hope they gave you the Scotian Hospitality. 👍🏾👍🏾🤷🏾‍♀🤷🏾‍♀

[@RevereOverland]

What an incredible trip! Thanks for sharing!

[@OverlandPioneers]

No thank you!

[@andrewcoates8753]

Just wanted to say thanks for promoting tourism in the Maritimes. My GF and I were supposed to do a BBQ tour of your neck of the woods this year and got shut down due to coivd. This video just brings back good memories. Living in Halifax, all we do is wait for the weekend to come so we can leave the city and explore. I honestly cant imagine living anywhere else (except Nazare). I hope you have the opportunity to come back, you should see Newfoundland, its really something and the people there are amazing

[@OverlandPioneers]

I have biggggg future plans for the Netherlands but for now it’s the states for us. Definitely come down for BBQ we do marketing for a few of them. It’s a tough job but somebody’s gotta do it !

[@andrewcoates8753]

Any reccomendations? We were planning on starting in North Carolina and just going from there. Also, if your going to Europe, go to Portugal. I've been to the Netherlands, France and Germany and Portugal is hands down the most beautiful place by far, the food is amazing and they truly welcome tourists. And the weather is excellent

[@davegriffin7979]

Great video, Nova Scotia is my home. Glad you liked it

[@lsdev4229]

So many beautiful places you missed...all of the east coast (clam Harbour beach), mahone bay and south shore. watching this video really makes me feel so lucky to live here especially during this pandemic. Glad you enjoyed your trip here. S.

I live just outside Halifax in Lower Sackville which is a suburb of Halifax. We have a seasonal trailer near Halls Harbour that you visited. Thanks for showing off places here that I have never been to. I must get off my butt. All the best from Nova Scotia. Doug Grace.

[@terryclarke3664]

great commentary, great scenic video and enjoyable lobster roll reviews. Thank you for putting the time in on this. Well worth the watch.

[@OverlandPioneers]

Boom! Thank you!!!

[@jennahmirrim3787]

WOW! What a great video of my Home province, Nova Scotia and our Maritime Family of PEI and New Brunswick. My Grandparents loved to travel and do little day trips around our Maritime provinces. I wish I could travel like you did and camp along the way. I am such a city girl! From Halifax. I have done all the tourist places,! it would be fun to camp on a beach like you did. Especially with that bug repellent! I hope that when Covid is over and our border opens up again. That you will come back and see even more! You really should if you haven't already take a trip to go around Newfoundland! Take a month or 3!! It is really beautiful too!

[@petera5221]

I have to say I really enjoyed watching this. That's the best kind of trip...finding remote places away from tourist traps and you found some beauties. Wow...did you ever find some kick ass lobster rolls as well...that's certainly a maritime favorite. It sure is a unique area of Canada and happy you were able to experience it.

[@brockmorrell]

Love the Lobster Roll reviews! Also liked your comment about US Customs, although I'm Canadian, have had similar experience many times.

[@tomgardner6294]

Looks like a great trip. Awesome job on video prep, I really enjoyed watching this.

Thank you!!!! We tried to get as remote as possible with the time we had!
