V7E11: Voyage Beyond the Maritimes

Following a hastened tour of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, I make my way to North Sydney, where I catch a ferry to Newfoundland. Upon arrival, I wander throughout the southwest corner of the island, experiencing secluded four-wheel drive tracks, lighthouses, crystalline waters, leftover pizza, and vast expanses of wilderness.

Such a great guy and with perfect kind disposition and artistic eye for hosting us as he travels around North America. Thank you Chris. Please continue your journey in just your style and be safe.

[@greatsouthernoverland]

Very well said, mate.

[@Redneckerthanu]

He’s single😜

[@hermit6208]

Is he a great guy? I'm starting to wonder. I've watched a bunch of his videos and I haven't seen one response from him to any of the comments. Now maybe I'm being premature, and he has responded to others. But from what I'm seeing right now, his lack of responding to his subscribers would belie the statement that he's a good guy

[@nowayjose6195]

(I am replying so you know I'm a good guy!) Yes, I am disappointed with the lack of supplies too, I admit. I've suggested to him that he reply to folks too.I think he'd have many more followers/supporters if he chose to be more interactive. It is His channel and I enjoy his content. Tens of thousands of folks seem to agree.

[@BrycePurden]

Mate you need to do some merch. That Jeep with the kayak on the roof is becoming an icon. Great logo as well. Love the videos and helping out via Patreon.

[@nomoremeetings1183]

I'd buy some venture4wd merch.

Been waiting all week, looks fun!

[@normanbarrett8124]

You are a VERY FORTUNATE man, to be able to travel to all of the places you’ve seen. I’m very envious!

[@Berncarp707]

One of your best videos yet. The scenery is jaw dropping. Thanks again Chris for taking us along.

[@ati573]

Always enjoy your Vids to a long week.

[@nabob14]

It's awesome to see someone from away enjoying what Atlantic Canada is all about!!! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@jackbrigden3036]

And I wasn’t disappointed, what magnificent scenery. Thanks Chris 😊

[@4x4_travel]

Holy crap Chris! The scenery in Newfoundland is amazing! Thank you for sharing this adventure! Also- good call backing out of that rut. You don't need to get stuck alone.

[@christophersmith2871]

Scott Hall Newfoundland. lmao He said Nova Scotiai 50 ×.

[@kraigpike]

Absolutely the best, thanks for taking us along.

[@stuartgoodrich7712]

Great video. You my man are winning at life.

[@gringo3009]

Your adventures are getting better and better! Thanks for sharing.

[@kelhapam]

So glad you went to Meat Cove..it's awesome. We just missed a "First-to-Find" geocache when we were there some years back. One thing we didn't miss was upon almost reaching Meat Cove a little red car was coming from the other direction. We both had New Hampshire license plates on our vehicles. We stopped to stay hello and was greeted with "Which way to Weirs Beach" which is the next town over from where we live, and the couple knew people I worked with. Small world.

[@kurtwieland111]

Am I the only one bummed when I notice I am getting to the end of the video? I'd watch these each week if they were an hour long, holy crap.

[@bobdemichele1542]

Great video , thanks for sharing. Newfoundland is quite a place. Venture On!!

[@frankwern8784]

Just want to say thanks for your excellent content and imagery. For the second time as I plan a long trip I find myself remembering to check your video list and finding that you have already been in the area, sometimes the same places I'm planning on visiting. Having an overview for a new area is so helpful. Save travels!

[@darrenzinzer1068]

When I first started watching your videos I thought, “wait, no music? “ Now I can’t stop watching and I look forward to them everyday while I catch up with past episodes! Thanks for bringing us along, very cool.

[@greatsouthernoverland]

What a beautiful place Chris:D thank you for sharing your travels in such a great way. We really look forward to watching each week here in Australia.

[@southernseclusion9525]

Stunning island.

[@MrHSIE]

Inspirational. Well done Chris. 👏😃

[@da.vo.6758]

Chris, I've been watching your videos for a long time, never posted. I have to say you really do a great job capturing the essence of the areas you travel to. A few months ago you would have passed right by where I live in the interior of British Columbia, and you recently passed near my brother's home in Nova Scotia - we live over 5,600km (3,400 miles) apart! And my brother's step son lives in Port aux Basque, and my wife in her earlier years lived in Newfoundland - I mention it because these are huge distances, and you've covered so much of it. I really appreciate that you mix some in town stuff with your willingness to travel solo into some remote areas as well - even with a reliable vehicle solo backcountry travel gives a person a unique mix of heightened awareness, and peacefulness. Looking forward to your continued travels.

[@softroadingthewest]

Always enjoy the episodes but this one was especially engaging. Incredible places and fun adventures. I don't think it would have ever crossed my mind to travel up that way but I think these images are going to haunt me until I do. Really nice work.

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

That water!! 🙌🏼

[@voric2893]

Love Corner Brook, my home town!

Just wow. 👍👍👍

[@vernonbennettiii3646]

Chris, I have watched all of your videos. This is one of your best. I look forward to exploring (vicariously) Newfoundland and, hopefully, Labrador with you. I also hope that you are having at least half as much fun as your on-screen persona seems to indicate! Safe travels!

[@davidfey8592]

Really look forward to your videos. Keep up the great work. Looking ahead myself to return to NL and see more of this gem.

[@chicagoPTer]

Chris, I know many times in your videos you mention that one thing you are trying to accomplish is to find what your 'calling' is. I think us subscribers who watch your videos every week see what you were meant to do and you're doing a fantastic job at it. I'm getting my Rubicon at the end of the year and I've learned a ton from just watching videos like yours. I'm hopeful to have similar adventures as you and maybe someday our paths will cross and I'll buy you a pizza. Take care and keep up the great work.

[@robertrhode6104]

Now I can start my weekend. Love you videos and can’t wait to see what your up to next, beautiful to see what you see. Keep keeping on. Be safe Chris 😘

[@99bounz]

[@guykulwanoski1629]

Awesome photography, Thank you bringing us along and for sharing!

[@JamesBabb]

Glad you made it to Newfoundland. Thanks for sharing. I just enjoyed 2 weeks there (not nearly enough). I can’t wait to go back. The folks are so nice. The landscapes and towns are gorgeous. Not to mention puffins, whales, icebergs... I look forward to more episodes.

[@kwCapitalProperties]

😲😲 Just added to my list of goals! You the man Chris!

[@ac2fv]

Excellent as always. It's so good to watch content made for us average Joe's without tons of sponsors and Wrangler gear we could never afford. Your travels always seem to be in reach for all of us. And the scenery of God's handiwork are breath taking.

[@scottbowman5673]

Awesome vid keep up the great journey! I have watched I believe every video that you have made it has been awesome to follow. Keep up the great work and maybe someday we will cross paths. It makes me believe that there is more than just the same old hustle and bustle of our everyday lives. My camping and jeeping exploration with my family has been the best thing I have done in years. I owe that a lot to you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@TheTrakker]

Chris, This is the first of your videos that I have seen. But without a doubt, of all the videos that I have seen, this one stirred my spirit of wandering more than any of the rest. I can see myself heading towards Finland and the adventure that awaits me. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@joycecalvitti6964]

love Newfoundland! on my 3rd trip to the Rock, I spent the night by Rose Blanche lighthouse and walked the falls trail. Looking forward to your next video * all makes me want to go back again!

[@konnorrandolph2677]

Keep up the good work man. Ive been watching your videos since day one and loved every second of your adventures!

Newfoundland has got to be one of my favorite places....glad you are enjoying it as well! Great video, look forward to the rest of your trip on the island!

[@dring219]

Great adventure , that was a beautiful lighthouse you visited . Thanks Chris , loved the video .

[@michaelarchangelthehammer]

Wow, that country is stunning,,,,primal!

[@MrLangDog]

The additional "just getting from here to there" winch mount footage was an excellent addition to your great videography! As soon as I saw where you were parked on the ferry I said.."Damn...he'll be last off!! LOL

[@edwilson9243]

Been watching your channel for a long time now. I'm from St. John's the capital of Newfoundland. You have to hike Gros Morne, in the national park. About an hour east of corner brook you turn north in deer lake. About an hour or so north you will hit the park. Best to save that for when you head to Labrador. So much to see in central Newfoundland and the east coast. St. John's is vibrant in cultural attractions, a must see. In fact it's the oldest city in North America. Cape spear is the most easterly point in North America and also close to St. John's. I'll keep an eye out for you, I drive a lifted 2020 White Gladiator, perhaps we can grab a coffee. Cheers

[@filmrealdubai]

Hey Ed - I'm an overlander (Lifted JK) looking to explore NewFoundland and Labrador sometime and find some good off the beaten track spots. Any links / advice you can offer?

[@theheepjeep]

Incredible scenery, really enjoyed this one!

[@hughwolfe1176]

Chris I’ve never been, but Newfoundland looks similar to the Faroe Islands, lots of green but still fairly barren... Keep on doing exactly what you’ve been doing as it’s excellent content.

[@guidok3762]

[@Jeepingshort]

Love it as always

[@MarkRose1337]

I'm glad you got to see Meat Cove in the sun! I spent a little over a week in Newfoundland two years back and it really wasn't enough time. Highlights of the trip were Signal Hill in St John's (also consider getting "screeched in" at Christian's Bar; it's an experience; Jag was a great hotel if you need one), popping over to the French island St Pierre for a night, and the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows. You're living the dream!

[@donzimmer4616]

Thanks for the adventure!

Welcome to Corner Brook! Glad you are enjoying the scenery and some of the back roads.

[@JeffinBville]

Did te same trip back in the early 90s, Meat Cove, North Sydney, Port aux Basques, Corner Brook and then a stop for several days around Trout River and Rocky Harbor/Gros Morne. We were the first Americans many had ever met that far north.

[@qrawler1245]

Spectacular, some day, some day I’m going to get up there!

[@marktalii]

Glad to see another KZbin video :)

[@nosnerd1967]

AMAZING . As I wake up Saturday morning ... I get my venture 4wd fix .. and it’s 30 minutes long !! Chris - TAKE YOUR TIME THERE .. as you know ,there is no hurry ( lucky you !! ) NFLD..Plenty to see .. so happy you hung around corner brook ! I worked there for a few weeks doing some management for for a large Canadian retailer ( CTC ) and fell in love with the place . So want to go back ... but more in the Chris Shontz style of doing things lol .i wanna be SHONTZING it . Man I am living vicariously through your adventure . Plz take your time and show us MORE 😬🤙 I might add ...you look genuinely happy ...take it all in ,and I for one , am looking forward to enjoying more of your travels . You are changing my life sir Alan - just east of Ottawa Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@darrenstibbard6773]

Just stumbled onto your channel. Love the Canadian exploration me being Canadian and all. It’s nice to see somebody out overlanding without a crazy overbuilt rig. Your heater will be the game changer for sure. Videos are awesome quality and like the mix of hikes and drives. Keep up the awesome content my friend!

[@farnorthpicker56]

Cool to see you climbing the same rocks as we did at Meat Cove! If you ever get back to Cape Breton, you have to hike out to the tip of White Point. There’s a cemetery from the 1700s of lost fishermen. It’s a gorgeous spot. So many treasures hidden just off the Cabot trail ! My wife’s family live in Cheticamp.

[@mikeprodanov7468]

[@jeremybeals5134]

[@BillyOnroad]

You should get a fishing pole! That would be some great content with all your awesome water spot discoveries.

[@ve3yjt]

So many spots where a non-resident can’t legally fish without a guide and an expensive non-resident license. In Newfoundland a non-resident may only fish with 800m of a provincial highway, without contracting the services of a guide/outfitter.

[@billw6182]

Wow ,beautiful video Chris . I worked with a fellow for years from Corner Brook NFD he was always saying "Bill you gotta go to NFD you'll love it" ....well by you're vid he was correct I'm gonna have to go, looks like another contender for a place to live.......winters are quite extreme there though.....anywhere you go in Canada you are going to confront winter....anyway....keep up the awesome videos!!!! Can't wait 'till next weeks!!!!!!!

[@JI814]

I don't have the time and money to travel, but if I did then this is exactly how I'd do it. Thanks for the great videos. And I love the humor - "I'm airing on the side of caution." Ha!

[@DuaneForrester]

First you meet up with my old Jeep mechanic Craig in Dartmouth, and make him famous! Now it's the Englishtown Ferry which I used to cross on my motorcycle when I worked at the Keltic Lodge, which you drove by in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park! It's like a tour of my old life! LOL Thank you, and please keep up the excellent content. :)
