LIVING LIKE OUR ANCESTORS - Searching for Winter Meat

In this video we search for a Caribou to insure my meat for the winter. We move like our ancestors by foot and canoe to increase the challenge and live for a week in a traditional canvas tent. A dwelling trappers, hunters and explorers would have used many years ago. Of course we don't use traditional clothing and most of our kit is modern. That will be an experience and test for another day.
Along the way we have encounters with a Coywolf and Bull Moose.
Later in the video I change up my methods and take a different approach. Follow along with us to see if this mission is a success.
The trips takes place in late November/early December, in Newfoundland, Canada.

Hey folks! It's been a busy month dealing with the book tour and related endeavours. More videos to come soon including the 83 crossing the Labrador Peninsula series! Stay tuned. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from my family to yours!

[@marianfrances4959]

You got your Christmas caribou! Great hunt and company. Saku is looking good as ever.😉💜🎄🎁✨

Merry Christmas Justin to you and yours and thank you for sharing your adventures.

Canada is so privileged to have NFLD. Such beautiful, raw, untouched wilderness. What a great country we live in.

[@lory2622]

It’s easy to understand a single Newfoundlander, but two or more together makes it almost impossible.

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

lol I agree

[@joetexas1546]

Thats what I was thinking-lol

[@marianfrances4959]

Lol I had the same thought!

[@SleeveZipper]

Was wondering what it was I was hearing. Sounded a bit like some kind of Irish to me. And lo and behold, it probably is. Makes watching this video even more interesting.

[@matt-kv1nu]

Maurits Polak Kinda sounds like my northern Irish grandad

[@jumpjetcaptain495]

Not only did I love watching this video, I could imagine the beautiful rich aromas of the bush. Thanks so much for sharing these experiences.

[@TheWildYam]

Great episode. Man, that was some thick stuff to go through to get to the caribou. Congrats on the Winter meat. You and Rumsy were a hoot. I thought it was him climbing the tree at 27:04 upping his wood collecting game. Lol.

My girlfriend dumped me because she asked me to be honest with her....would I rather spend a day brook trout fishing or spending it with her....that was the easiest question I ever answered and there she was gone....for anyone who has the speckies addiction, I have fished them on my knees in a six inch wide stream floating my hook down the creek on a leaf and then yanking it off the leaf when it got overtop of the their hiding hole...pulled out six 8 inchers that day, be meal I ever ate...I stuff the carcass with bacon dippers, peppers an onions...oh buddy...awesome...PS I never heard from Suzie again, perfect

[@climberrob7108]

Fantastic! Thanks so so much for documenting your experience out there in the bush. It really shows how difficult the olden days were; could you imagine doing what you did without modern clothing, waterproofs, gear, vehicles, high powered rifles and scopes! I really like that you tipped your hat to the ancestors who scratched out a life in that harsh land.

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Appreciate you watching! It was a fun challenge for sure. I'd love to try with more traditional gear in the future

[@bradthistle5814]

Man that was a fantastic video! There’s something empowering about harvesting an animal, and having that meat on the table for your loved ones! Congrats on the beautiful caribou! Merry Christmas!

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Thanks Brad ya can't beat it. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@super66craig]

Congrats on your first caribou! I know how dearly you cherish the old days and ways of just settled NF. Take it from an old guy, you got it right in the first hunt. Be as you want to be next season, find the herds by networking and then leave before light and settle into a good spot and enjoy the time machine trip. I can see you in the future hunting black powder and bow in traditional gear. Enjoy the good food and thank the caribou for her gift of life to you and yours. God bless my friend, Craig

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Appreciate it Craig all the best in 2020 buddy. I may go more traditional one day we'll see. Certainly have thought about it

[@justanothercaptain6566]

Got to love that Newfie Twag! I know to you Newfies it's just talking, but to the rest of us Canadians, it sounds like you're singing.

Yet another wonderful glimpse of your wild homeland and it's folks brought to us all by your efforts and skills Justin; many thanks. Cheers Wayne

[@NLGhostWolf]

Glad you got your caribou, I love caribou taken in late Aug or early Sep with my old recurve traditional bow and arrow. Sure had many great caribou hunting adventures over the years with bow in hand.

[@conradrideoutcr]

Justin buddy. Good on ya to try and do it the old fashioned way with “ two feet and a heartbeat” but man with the last few days of the season you gotta do what you gotta do. I am so glad you got your meat for the winter. Plus getting a guide to help you helps the locals too. You’re a good man. Thanks for sharing the hunt.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

guide are for the foreners there fees are high, and if you live were you hunt or with in a 100 miles one should know the land he she hunts, i know the fees of guides as i was one in the 1970's for the usa hunters, or should i say the usa shooters.. and i know what the fees were back then, and they payed them as well as a big tip

[@dennyfry2056]

Nice cow caribou, Justin. Yeah, that was a lot more tender than one of those gnarly old bulls, I'm sure. I've had a couple permits for and have harvested cow elk, and they were much more tender than bulls I've eaten. Congrats on that successful hunt. Looking forward to many years of fishing and hunting videos from you! Thanks.

Very enjoyable video and a nice, realistic hunt. I have the same military surplus back pack. Really waterproof but what a heavy SOB even when empty! Buddy shouldn't hit metal on metal when splitting the firewood. Been there, done that, and the doctor at the emergency room said I was lucky the metal shard didn't hit an artery. I hope you enjoy the bou burgers as much as I enjoy your videos. Merry Xmas to you and yours.

[@aliceg9571]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Saku looked so happy to be out as usual. It is magnificent. That wind was brutal. Nice to have a warm tent to return to for you and Saku. I can’t imagine how the ancestors held up through that weather with just sheer determination. Makes you respect all they had to do just to survive. You respect the land and appreciate the animal for giving you sustenance. Not for sport. Your description in your videos are so interesting. You can tell a story so well. Hope the book tour went well. Take care and see you soon.

[@mustang774]

Merry Christmas. Great to see you get a caribou. This video was a nice one again. Your weather was not. the best but hey you have to go when the season is on. Nice to have some friends along to help out.......Take care, Bluefin.
