Holy smokes you guys, I’ve liked damn near every comment on here. Thank you all for your positive feedback and support. So happy to hear that you all are enjoying this one.

[@ABetterWeapon]

Dude, we should hang out.

I love being about to see parts of the world I would never know exist. THANK YOU

[@jeramiewalton9237]

Honestly i enjoy every one of your adventures

[@anthonycolbourne4206]

Always fun to hear about some almost lost history, especially when it's our own history. So what is the secret to long lasting concrete? If it's like the Romans made, they used volcanic sand that actually made the concrete stronger over time, even more so when it was exposed to saltwater.

[@upnorthoutdoors1229]

Its good to see theres people from the younger generation that appreciates preserving our history! We have to support channels like this . thumbs up

[@Destination_Adventure]

Always appreciate these kind of comments.

[@CanadianSledDog]

The quality of this episode was worth the wait! I love the style and the balance of on site footage with narration and interviews. This is the new wave of entertainment; independent, original, and production quality.

[@leannesmith3240]

I completely agree with you, this was so good!

[@TheJimmythecorkscrew]

Absolutely agree. Quality of quantity. Destination is in my top three favourite personally

Magical. A true adventure and what a blessing ☺️ you get to do what a lot of people can only dream of.

[@user-xg8jq1jl8p]

I grew up on the north island and as kids we would visit suquash often with my dad so I’m definitely going to show him this! I was always was so fascinated and loved exploring around the area but didn’t know much about the history so I really appreciate all the effort and work you put into making this video.

[@sandrakipp6336]

I love being able to follow along on your adventures. We have so much history in BC, but being such a young country, we don't have as much as you see elsewhere. So much is also being destroyed, either by vandalism or just lack of knowledge or funds to restore. Thank you for doing these videos, and keep up the fantastic work!

[@texaspoontappa2088]

All of your shots are absolutely stunning

The reason it's such a beautiful spot is because few people go there.

I'm so glad you made it to Suquash! It was me that gave you the hint :)

Frick, finally you comment. I have been waiting for this :). Thank you so much. This is one of my favourite places, and the video was such a fun challenge for me.

[@megynwilliams2249]

@@Destination_Adventure it's an absolutely stunning video, I am beyond happy you were able to stop in and explore, even if it was only for a few hours. Let me know when you make it back out here, there are so many more secrets to find!

[@possumdad3973]

your videos got me back into exploring, the preservation of history is really important in my opinion and i love seeing others enjoy it as well.

I am always amazed at the amount of work people had to do and skills people had back then. Like how would you get that big steam piston to where it is? Where was it made in the first place? All so cool. Thanks for giving me ideas!

Please go back when you can stay longer. It was so interesting and such history there. Thank You

[@Destination_Adventure]

I’d definitely enjoy a longer visit

[@frankwilson726]

@@Destination_Adventure Well you do go to great lengths to get to these places, and then always seem to be in a hurry to leave...is there a reason you never pack an overnight kit?

[@Blessedgirl1955]

I really enjoyed this video and I am new to your channel but am binge watching. I must say as a grandmother I find myself worrying about you, like in this episode with the bear, or falling into the water, breaking a leg and having no way to call for help. I guess that is part of the excitement for me to some degree, you are a smart and careful explorer and I so enjoy your videos. The quality of your videos is awesome!

[@es1263]

Dustin an amazing video!! Loved the whole thing, was wondering when your next one would come out. The wait was worth it. Its great to see these forgotten places in our province and know the history behind them. GREAT JOB DUSTIN!!!!!!!

Wau! Found your channel a while ago and I've been watching these videos one by one from the start. They really keep getting better and better. Great stories, great views and great historical info. What caught my eye in this particular one was the name Sointula because it sounded so Finnish. Some searching and really, it turned out that place was indeed establidhed by Finnish settlers in order to create perfect community in early 1900's. Now I know this too, thank you!

[@DB-nz8cu]

We appreciate the content you put out and always look forward to seeing your adventures, everyone has a life outside of KZbin and if people can’t understand that then they need to get a life ✌🏿Keep up the adventures so we can enjoy them. We can’t wait to get out there and see the things you bring to us .This is our back yard too and shoe show us what we miss and take for granted.

[@bradgravel7786]

I've had a picture of the fireplace and chimney as the background on my phone for years now! Its an awesome place to explore and hope to go back one day. Thanks for sharing, it's great to learn a bit more about that magnificent place!

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

about 30 years ago, I took a 4x4 up to the north end of the island, and out tot he Managers house.. it is truly a magnificent, and magical place.. Thanks Dustin for taking us along, and bring back some wonderful memories

[@Destination_Adventure]

Was the house still standing at that time?

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

@@Destination_Adventure the house burned down in the 1920's from what I remember.. The mine closed in 1935 (I think) but it sure has grown over a lot though.. there were something like 20 or 30 houses built up there, we only found remnants of 5 houses, and a lot of the same stuff you found. Unfortunately I dont have any of my old photographs. they were destroyed when my boat sank in Victoria in 98. We spent a week up there exploring the area.

[@devinudsen1948]

We’re getting ready to move to SE Alaska because it reminds us of home, only less crowded with humans! LOL! Anyway, thanks for sharing what you do. I’m going to return back to binge watching your vids. :) 💕

Thank you so much

[@Maxxis1941]

As of June 5th, there's 11 people that are wrong. There's nothing to dislike about this and everything to like, love and rave about. Stellar job Dustin. Epic shots, great interview and an amazing story about a place that was key in the beginnings of BC. If the Hudson's Bay Company wasn't settled on Vancouver Island in the early 1850's, they wouldn't have been able to play such a key role in the Fraser Canyon gold rush of 1858. If you want info on that event, and the key historian it (you won't find any better - his family were gold rush miners), contact me. It's an epic story with amazing sights that will amaze you and your viewers.

​@@Destination_Adventure I live in New Zealand! It would be cool to meet you and show you around the old freezing works ruins here in Gisborne , it's a pretty neat explore and only an hours drive from the Tokamaru bay freezing works which are an even better adventure by my recollection (I went there with my family when I was rather young) they are both interesting parts of the history of our country, used for butchering and preparing sheep from 1911-1950 or so and have fallen into disrepair since, I'd be happy to show you around and tell you more if you'd be interested :)

And people today, look down their noses at people back in the day. The stone work is absolutely beautiful, it is like art. The concrete is of better quality than what we have now. Our forefathers knew quite a bit more than we give them credit for. Unfortunately, that knowledge is all but forgotten, or lost completely, and we are the poorer for it. That is the way it seems to be everywhere, structures built back decades, or centuries ago, can not be duplicated today, or at best, would be a poor quality representation. Great video, thanks.
