I travel to the most remote place on Vancouver Island

I take a 4 day trip to the North West point of Vancouver Island (Grant Bay, Holberg, Winter Harbour and Schoen lake) , and camp in my Subaru Outback Wilderness with my dog Tilda.
Plus: bears, camp recipes, epic views and a secret campsite!

[@MactacFPV]

I watch a lot of these kinds of videos (I live on Vancouver island and love exploring), and I just wanted to comment and say that I really appreciate your delivery and conversational tone. You make it interesting without being all hype-y about it, and it makes me want to watch the whole video rather than just skip around. Great job, thanks for letting us come along on your trip, and please keep it up!

it's giving back country mr rogers, and i'm here for it

[@kelseahamilton9160]

Cool video! I’m a Vancouver Islander, born and raised here and it’s always neat to see how tourists view our home. One tip though, from Ucluelet North keep that doggo close. So many off leash dogs get taken by the wolves. They hide right on the shoreline and take them. Had it happen to many of my friends and it’s tragic.

[@ShnNar1000x]

Nice video. But I guarantee that the "most remote place on VI" is not accessible by car!

[@alexlewis5481]

I agree......and I'm not mentioning where it is and how to get there

Fantastic post-production work. I loved the music. This video got me all nostalgic about my trip out to Vancouver Island two months ago. As an Ontarian, I will always be awestruck at how much raw natural beauty there is in BC. You guys are extremely blessed to be around the Coastal Mountains and the Pacific. Nature is truly some of the best medicine.

[@seankennedy1970]

Dude you hit the jackpot with that lookout! Great video and the drone shots are unreal!

[@jtgordon100]

Beautiful cinematography! Thank you for sharing your fantastic trip with us.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

I am so fortunate to be living on Vancouver Island. This vid shows some of her beauty. If any of your viewers now visit, please be ecologically aware and protect the earth from fire and garbage!

[@ChrisSmith-xh6ip]

Lol. Fires are a natural part of nature. You've been lied to and brainwashed like most others.

[@jameslacey858]

You took the easy route and missed so much , Gold river to Port Alice thru the Nimpkish valley is much more entertaining, drive to Tahsis is interesting and a walk thru the Carmanah Walbran valley will send you back in time 😮

[@ForceFreeTrainergirl06]

We've driven from Gold River to I think it was Tahsis? Along a terrifying logging road which was much in use by logging lorries! We also drove from Port Hardy to Port Alice. We live on the Saanich Peninsula.

[@jameslacey858]

@ForceFreeTrainergirl06 Tahsis is the butt hole of Vancouver Island 😅 terrible road to get there and there is nothing really to see or do 🙄

[@stevedemoe1359]

@@ForceFreeTrainergirl06and you didn’t come visit me lol. Joking😅

[@cfyfe7168]

Sad to see the lack of BIG old growth trees (mostly gone now), and so much clear cut, but a very nice job on the video! Well done!

[@curlysonthemove]

Thank you for taking this Island gal on a new adventure... I've been out that way before... Just never got to see it at the angles you showcased... Nicely done...

[@JungleAWayOfLife]

You have great taste in music. Thanks for sharing your journey, look forward to the next video!

[@shawnbauer7889]

gotta love the views the drone provides :)

[@trenttoms]

Great video. Next time you must go to San Josef Bay. I used to live in Port Hardy and will be visiting in 2 weeks. So many hidden and off road treasures to explore up there. Loved the video. Beautiful dog!

[@IanDinBC]

The food at the Ibis is terrific (so is the beer). The North Island is an amazing and unique place.

[@GingerNinja007]

This is the first time for me on your channel, the vid came as KZbin Recommended. I am so glad it did because this is a great video! I have been to Vancouver Island in 2019 but only went from Victoria to Qualicum Beach, I never went as far North as you did. I said to myself next time I go there I will hit the tip of the North end. I love the camp sites you found and your dog is the BEST companion. Stunning scenery and you have skills in getting the right camera angles and shots. Your dog is absolutely adorable and so dang cute just chilling out inside your vehicle beside your sleeping spot lol. It was great to see your dog go off the lead and run around on the sandy beach having so much fun.

[@lauras3612]

Man, I can't believe you went on those roads with your vehicle! You could have been stranded in the middle of nowhere. But you made it and it looks like you and the dog had a great time! Thanks for showing us what the island looks like way up in that area. I suggest next you do a trip to Pachena Bay. It's supposed to be stunning.

[@Crispr3536]

Lived around the north island for most of my life.Really enjoy watching these videos thank you

[@Eskimew]

9:40 i've lived on vancouver island most of my life, and i'd venture to guess that 99.9% of residents haven't been up to that corner of the island before. i've been up to port hardy but never the northwest side. the high up view where you can see the curve of the island in the distance is stunning.

[@Ozinretirement]

Now this is the type of video I can relate to, honest down to earth friendly and interesting, plus a dog which is important lol. A road trip that the wife suggested we do, she might be onto something 🤔 Nice job mate

[@jennifercuzzcrea4541]

Thank you! Great video. Made me smile remembering growing up in Winter Harbour. Love the soundtrack. :)

[@agesadventures]

Nice one! Lets me know I need to plan a trip up Island to see everything that I'm missing😁 Great video😀

[@dave1534]

I’m South Island and used to travel up to Holberg often. This video reminds me I should make another trip.

[@stevedemoe1359]

Yes. You should. Come for a meal at the ibis 👍

[@vanlifethetravelinfranksho5611]

Love the cooking part, short and sweet and looks yummy! Great vid!😎

[@chrisedley2839]

Nice! I’ve visited some of these places and you’ve given me some ideas for next time I venture that way! Thanks for sharing!!

[@charitistewart6999]

As a born and raised local I always find it terrifying when mainlanders adervtise beatiful, wild spots on the island. Keep it secret, keep it safe 😢

[@williamjesse7622]

Excellent video! Very nicely done. I live in Victoria and have never ventured that far north. Love your dog!

[@MvXFury]

i hope you truly enjoyed your time on Vancouver island ive been very blessed to be born and raised here

[@PacificNorthwest777]

Lived on the island my whole life, family has been in forestry here for 3 generations. Those trees would be considered “Old” second growth, somewhere between 60 and one hundred years. Likely 6-80 years old . 😉

[@econhelp583]

Great work on this! Thanks! P.S. Awesome Bruce Springsteen “Born to Run” music clip at 6:20! The movie about the British kids becoming Springsteen fans is a fun watch.

[@CurriedBat]

Nice set up! That sleep in your car vibe is awesome when you're in bear country.

[@LRhiannon1]

Great video..great scenery…great music…perfect…

[@shawnbauer7889]

TILDAAAA!!! :) :). beautiful view up that logging road near the north most point!

[@altset98]

I love the northern tip and west coast of the Island, I visited San Josef Bay 3 years ago and that area is still to this day only of my favourite places ever! I think I know where that lookout where you camped is, amazing place!

[@freelanceminddrift]

Hi Chris. Nice to see a new face on here. Great scenery. Keep 'em coming 🙂

[@smmj45]

Just found your channel , good ish . Your dog is hilarious 😅 with out trying

[@wakeupthebear]

Wow it's so fun to see others have found the edge of the Earth. My son and I spent a couple of days up on that clear cut. There is cell service up there Too! We streamed movies and kept in touch with family. Most remote, yet not.

[@williamsmith7340]

Nice job. You got yourself a subscriber.

[@KenneyCmusic]

born and raised in Nanaimo, cool video!

[@amg8497]

I’m soooo jealous … I was born in the lower mainland … loved taking the ferry over to the island as a kid …Having lunch with my parents on board … Fond memories 🤔🇨🇦👍

[@guitarjeff55]

This guy does this travels is utilizing modern day technology to share his adventures in the factory. Pretty damn cool get the ability to mix different music montage. Yes. 👍🏼

[@bhenry5091]

Time to do some homework Chris. These are definitely not the most remote places accessible by car on Vancouver Island, as next month they will see a steady stream of camping traffic. But as a Vancouver Islander, I will not list the most remote spots, as videos like your put an end to a campsites remoteness!! Enjoy your remote camping!

[@maybelikealittlebit]

My thoughts as well. ❤

[@wizzurd1847]

I laughed watching the outro and it showing the ferry pulling up to the island and not departing haha

[@JuandeFucaU]

is your last name Bacon?

I came here to ask the same question

He looks kinda like Chris Bacon, be he isn’t him. I haven’t seen that dude in a while, I hope he’s good.

Really enjoyed this very chill exploration. The drone work really complimented your video. Do you plan to make more of these?

[@VLV657]

This looks so cool, wish I discovered my province more ❤

[@ForceFreeTrainergirl06]

We have driven to Port Hardy and then to telegraph cove where we did a fabulous whale watching trip. We then went to Port Alice. We also drove from Gold River to I think "Tahsis" along a still busy logging road, which was terrifying and of course the logging lorries don't stop for anyone and there were not too many passing places!

[@tylerpearson7179]

Nice video and great soundtrack!!

curious ...do you hv alternative during the fire-ban? kicked in today july 10:ps great vids: lived in Bull Harbour and traveled the Island before the hwy was paved: brought back great memories of the 'real' Van. Island esp Holberg where the radio 'gals' used to patch our calls to civilization. cheers

Amazing plateau spot and drone footage, editing and music. Thanks for taking us along. Always wanted to do this trip as my dad worked logging in port hardy when he arrived in Canada. How are you taking drone footage while you're driving lol

[@normbates8731]

Cool! Stop by and say Hi next time

[@stevemyers2092]

great drive (music is a bit loud) very cool...... hope you brought a chain saw - just in case one of the forest people pushes a tree across the trail/road.

[@fairlady5117]

very interesting point. I was thinking about forest people the whole time.

[@heila348]

very well done... great video work. Just a point of interest.. I fly (usually helicopter) over the island all the time in the VR world... a flight simulator is a great way to find those hidden logging roads into lakes you didn't know existed... anywhere in the world at any elevation. thanks for sharing your trip.

[@ViktorDavare157]

well done very nice

[@stevedemoe1359]

Damn. I missed you. I live on the north end of the island!

Aww you missed the BEST beach!! san Yosef bay!! You should come back to check out that beautiful beach!! Make sure you visit with the tide out!!

[@shirleydowney5650]

I just caught your video on KZbin. I just wanted to say hi and let you know I grew up in Holberg and we called the Scarlet Ibis the purple bird. You missed the best part Sam Jo Bay it’s the best beach on the island.

[@PerryLowell]

Grant Bay is a beautiful spot...

[@timosnieder4637]

I've been to a place way more remote than this...the tip of Brooke's peninsula. 50 km from the nearest logging road! Accessed by kayak.

[@kathleenjohnson3645]

So beautiful and no people my favorite places.😊 Grant Bay garbage dump really a bummer! Slobs and no respect for nature. Pack it in and pack it out!

Drones can be set to automatically follow the vehicle using GPS settings

[@danlynd2167]

Want to be there 😊😊

[@AltraxX]

your break pads are not covering enough of the rotor, what model and year is the car? Also... video so laggy hurts my eyes

there are more remote places on the Island, but they are very difficult to access.

I grew up in Port Alice, which has less than a third the population of when I lived there. I could live rent free in my mom's abandoned townhouse but there are no jobs. I would have to be on welfare. I live in Quebec City.

[@trevorgwelch7412]

Did you bring your big foot costume ? 😂😂😂

[@metrinstoefta1490]

as remote as it may be its NO LONGER wilderness confirmed by your handy drone, all the towns and villages, official camp grounds, piles of garbage and free wood not to mention the gigantic clear cuts you camp in the middle of. you seem like a nice guy though and don't hype yourself...which is refreshing. thanks for the views.

[@chubbomattic13]

i just wanna say that the old growth spruce you seen is infact not a old growth . it would be way bigger if it was old growth . looks like second growth or whatever its called

Top of Golden Hinde or Brooks peninsula would be more remote, you're not going to drive there.

[@Sunsworn]

I was born and raised on Vancouver island and can't afford to live there, the people who bought homes there from other parts of Canada need to go back to where they came from so i can go home
