I showed my 4 year old son this video, and he was so into it. He asks if the "adventure guy" has put out any new videos. He likes it more than Puppy Dog Pals, and thats a big deal. We really enjoy your content, so thank you for that.

[@wolfwoman9261]

I Love fishing ! Nice fish is right 🐟 🍽💙😊🥀🌛⭐✌🏻

[@donchandler755]

Thank you, Dustin, for allowing all of us to, vicariously, experience these adventures. Living in the American Southwest all my life, I had no idea British Columbia was so beautiful. When things settle down and we can all travel freely, I would love to plan some travels to the Pacific Northwest and up through BC and Alaska. Until then, all of us viewers will be as the song says, "I'll be riding shotgun, underneath the hot sun". Take care and be safe.

[@jennifergulley9285]

I really don't know how you ever catch any fish like that, it seems like the only thing that you would catch would be your own foot😂 no matter, it's awesome! I would have fallen out of the boat if it was me! 🤣🤣🤣 You got really good balance! Thank you Dustin, these videos are absolutely gorgeous I live where there's lots of similar beauty(Southwest Idaho) but it's not quite as remote, and the color of the water in your videos ,oh my gosh absolutely breathtaking! I do envy you💜 and I've been binge-watching you for like 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it keep doing everything you do! thank you

[@medionlvr]

every video of yours that i watch brings me back to 1979 when i hitchhiked across country from Danielson Ct to Baker Cali, then to Kalamazoo Mi to St Albans Wv. after that i went north to Akron Oh and have been here in this area since. i left on my great adventure with 75 cents, a sleeping bag and a pack of Camel non filters.

[@glynnL]

Kind of ironic to breathe in all that fresh air, and also cigarettes ;) sounds like it was quite the adventure!

[@medionlvr]

@@glynnL yes it was.

[@keestoft250]

Hey Dustin, I get a lot out of your channel thank you. You're always entertaining and honest and good grief the scenery? Also the informative stuff, it's all golden. I live in the southwest of the UK, its a beautiful area but, partly because of covid, people who would've gone abroad this year and last, have piled down here in their hundreds of thousands, to visit and buy property (to now work from home) and there's almost no room left! I guess this is also true for a lot of rural areas close to metropolitan cities across the globe too. Tranquility is becoming a rare thing, and you/we are so fortunate to have places like BC to disappear into and literally not see one other human.

[@robertmuckle2985]

Keep doin' what you're doin' Dustin...pure entertainment gold brother👌

[@SirianXM]

Dustin, you live a truly inspiring life. Thank you, for being YOU 🙏

[@lkevincurry]

I love the No Plan plan approach. Live life as it presents itself.

[@tonytoms5351]

Dustin, bit of advice, tie your anchor rope to the loop on the bottom of the anchor, and use a weak zip tie at the top where you have it tied now. This will allow to to recover it if it ever gets snagged, as the zip tie will break, allowing you to pull it from the bottom, and the curved tines won't catch on anything.

[@KristensMusicCorner]

I’m from Massachusetts, all the way on the east coast. One summer, I lived on a sailboat with my then boyfriend and we sailed up the coast of BC. We sailed up inlets, we braved Johnstone Strait, we saw humpbacks, orcas, porpoises, and tons of seals. It was amazing. We only ever made it up to Port Hardy since our boat definitely could not handle open ocean towards Alaska, but it was an awesome experience. Watching your videos reminds me of the beautiful landscapes I was able to take in during my time on the boat, and then subsequently the 5 years I spent living in Washington afterwards because of it. I just moved back to Mass from Washington four months ago, so thank you for having this videos so I can still peep on the stunning views of the PNW. 😍

[@richardp1522]

Quality of the adventures have always been very high right from when you started. But the production quality, filming, on screen talent, narration, editing and background music are constantly improving you should be very pleased with your postings. An accident a number of years ago put an end to my back country experiences. Now my adventuring is done vicariously through you, appreciate what you are doing never under estimate the importance of what you are offering. Thanks.

[@cdeboer11]

Really enjoying the boat content. Originally here for the abandoned content but enjoying the evolution! Keep it up!

[@deendrew36]

Same…I came for the abandoned content, and stayed for the scenery. 😄

[@GrannysGarage333]

I think I know why I love you so much… you are living the life my big brother dreamed of!! Cancer took him far too soon last year but I wish I had known about you before then so I could have let him watch too… he would have LOVED your videos!! I guess I see a piece of him when I watch you… keep adventuring!!!

[@PumpkinHollowQuilts]

I recently stumbled across your channel and binge watched all your videos! I'm pretty positive this one was one of my favorites! Loved the beautiful scenery and especially loved your sense of humor! I always find myself leaving your videos with a smile! Looking forward to your next one!

[@scotoftheanarchic.7903]

I've been into your vids for a decent amount of time now time enough to where it looked as though you'd jacked them in only to see you go full time with them. Great decision B. C is a gem of a place a very unique and interesting part of the world, from all those abandoned towns to some scenic beauty. I can see why so many of my countrymen took the journey ( The Scots 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿). You're fairly coming along at the production of these the editing is looking spot on I always feel music is such a big part of any video it can make or break them your choice of music is gelling well with the scenery and pace. Doin well ma man all the best from bonnie Scotland...

[@Destination_Adventure]

Thank you for this honest answer. I appreciate your comment and thank you for enjoying the channel. I also really think that music makes the video, so I really try to be picky with that.

This is a great video and I would much rather watch something that's been filmed and edited in the way that makes you happiest. Stay true to your spirit and everything will fall in line. At least that's what "they" say!

[@Rainnchaser]

Fly casting while drifting, running a drone and getting amazing footage, that's no small feat. I'm sure I would have added swimming to that mix. Another example of how far your skills have come. Well done.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Dustin you need a bit of chain on the anchor. About 1.5 meters. Then you need some scope to get it to hook. 6' of depth you need about 30' of line out. Then you'll hook and stay. 3 to 1 to 5 to 1 ratio. Tourism Canada owes you money. After you and Casey 250 with the views and scenery I can't wait to go there. What did you do with the mosquitos..

[@Destination_Adventure]

This is valuable information for me, thank you. I’ve reached out to tourism countless times and they don’t care. It’s a strange thing in my opinion. As for mosquitoes, I don’t do anything lol. I’ve spent so much time in the wilderness that I don’t actually get a reaction to bites. No swelling or itching or anything. It’s kinda kew

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@Destination_Adventure I like your channel. You seem to be very authentic and Canadian. You have these wonderful places mostly to yourself. I usually Google Earth where you say you are in the intro. It's very helpful. Keep up the great work. I'll see you next summer for sure 😁

[@glynnL]

@@Destination_Adventure Inconceivable! I’m not in the backwoods like you, but there’s a lot of mosquitoes around home due to being surrounded by water. I’ve had years of bites, when will I too get immunity to their itch?

Definitely one of my favorite episodes so far, it made my morning! You got the same 2-pack stoves that I picked up on my bikepacking tour when they implemented a fire ban and I couldn't make my coffee on the fire! You know you can refill them by prying out the wick holder, right? They market them as disposable but they actually run much better when you put marine alcohol in there. Keep up the good work man!

Ok. Paused at 5:28, to say you really should get in the habit of wearing a life jacket when in the boat. Seeing you standing up at the tiller, at full cruise, on a river with possible submerged hazards, gives me pause for concern Dustin. Think “Role Model” pls. and stay safe pls. ✌️🌲 Another awesome adventure ! Beautifully captured.

[@spongebobsqueeze]

What is it about watching somebody fly fishing that is so relaxing? My first after school job was tying 🪰 for a tackle shop. I never learned to fly fish but I like to watch it.

[@jcfly1]

Dustin, consider adding a dead man's switch to your outboard motor. If you were to hit a rock or log, you won't have to watch your boat head for Scotland while you float in frigid waters. Best wishes to ya !
