From the Border to the Top. A Trip to the Top of Canada Begins. Destination Adventure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 тра 2024
- Traveling in the Motorhome was a great experience, but it was always limiting for access to locations. Two years in a row I went north to Alaska, bypassing the Dempster Highway, and forfeiting my chance to enter the Arctic Circle. With the new rig, the Arctic is a challenge we can easily handle, so we are northbound to the top. Starting from the Canada USA border, we will be making our way through BC, Yukon Territory and finishing in the NWT at the Arctic Ocean.
I have some planned locations and adventures, which I am very excited to dive into, but I am going with a loose schedule so that we wont be missing any opportunity that comes our way.
Here's to another amazing travel season, and more stories to be told.

Dustin, my wife of almost 50 years and I have done this trip three times. Cassiar-Tuk twice and length of Alcan-Tuk once. I am under orders, we will not be doing it again, but let me tell you I will be with you all the way. Let the Journey be as important as the Destination.
Thank you very much. I’m stoked to finally be able to cross this one off the list.
@@Destination_Adventure You referred to it as an expedition, it sure is closer to that than a camping road trip. Almost anywhere, stop and safely park and walk away from the road, over the rise and just sit in silence and marvel at the vastness. Look out for any dark dots making their way towards you, those would be bears. Spend your money, your 20 bucks makes a real difference in the villages you will pass through. God, I wish I was allowed to return, lol. Not many 70 year old women want to endure the trip. sorry, I prattle on...
It's definitely the journey that makes it worth it!❤
I can hardly wait. This is my dream drive! ❤
Boat launch. From there you launch and run out to the point and around back in to Quauccet ....spelling wrong...and let the adventure begin. The village is fly in boat in only and when gramma taight up there in the 60s we would hear the stories of the wild and crazy bush pilots that would deliver her. Fascinating history and also of one seal pup adopted there. Good luck and Bon Voyage pal
Didn't read all 500 plus comments, but did anyone else notice there is a car driving backwards down the road at about 45 seconds in to the video. Dustin and his fine editing skills.
Welcome Emme. So glad you have joined Dustin. He is a great guy,but you already know that. Happy travels
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that ☺️✨
Happy to see Emmy back and ready for a great adventure with you. Safe travels and always waiting to see what you have to show us
Welcome Emmy glad she's going on this adventure
Welcome Emi! Just glad Justin has someone to share the journey with.
Thank you very much. ☺️
A huge welcome back to Emme!! So excited to see you again.
Great stuff. Thanks, it will be nice to have a companion .
Another year. Can’t wait. This one should be extra exciting
Should be an awesome adventure. Thanks for bringing us along! Godspeed.
Heck yea! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride buddy!
I'm an electrician, when you go through a wall, especially a metal one, you want to use a plastic or rubber gromit to keep from rubbing. A metal pass through tube is also a good solution, silicone isn't enough to keep it from wearing through the insulation of the wire.
I wanted to say the same thing. Needs rubber pass through bushings. The first trip will rub right through that wiring and hopefully pop a fuse is the best outcome.
Yeppers, thankfully it's a fused 12v extension
Welcome to Canada Emmie, you’re in for an adventure
Thank you so much ☺️🌿
Saturday morning routine: Coffee and Destination Adventure. Dustin, your gift for storytelling and cinematography is remarkable. Have a great adventure travelling north! You rock!
Thank you very much.
I love how these videos bring the mood up tenfold. Whether I'm already in a good mood or I'm struggling with myself internally. These kind of videos and Adventures just make me want to go out and do my own. Keep up the amazing videos❤
🙋🏻♂️ Here the ones that forget to put the fitting after the flare is done!! 😅😅😅
Awesome Video Dustin! 👊🏽
Hahaha whoopsies
@@Destination_Adventure Mick would have done it right after a few beers
Been there, done that!
I welcome your Emmy to beautiful BC! I hope she will love the adventure that you're about to begin! Looking forward to it! 🥰
I’m excited for this adventure, thank you ☺️🌿
Man, I always get good Feels when I watch your videos. You’re doing something right!!!!

As a person who watches a lot of UA-cam and does some UA-cam, this is the only channel that I wait for videos to drop. Thank you Dustin keep up the great work.

Thank you very much ☺️🌿
This is going to be great to watch. Safe travels and Welcome Emmy!!
Thank you very much 🙏☺️
Crappy Tire is a universal term of endearment across Canada it seems!
This is gonna be awesome! Cant wait to get to see this adventure with you two! Speaking of which, nice to see your co-host joining again! Loved her in the Japan videos!
🤍✌
Thank you very much, I really appreciate that ☺️🙏✨
Happy to see Emmy this season! Welcome!
Passed you guys this morning in Mcleese Lk. I was yelling there’s Dustin, there’s Dustin! My wife was like who?? Destination Adventure UA-cam guy don’tcha know!!? Oh cool she says.
Welcome Emmy! Safe travels and can’t wait for the next episode.
Cheers amigo 🍻 😊
So excited to fallow you along, I have always wanted to do this trip so now I can watch and fallow you guys. 🤟😎
Getting excited for the upcoming trip! Welcome Miss Emmie!
Hello Dustin, welcome to Emmy to Canada. What a great adventure your sharing with us all. Ready 😊 let's go.
I’m very excited for this, thank you very much ☺️🌿
Sorry, I spelled your name wrong.
Here's a self sustainability tip: eat lots of pike and lake trout. Or walleye or even grayling up there. We will keep cooked fish in a bag in a cool dark location for up to 24hrs and cook it again when we're ready to eat it again, which can be essential if you want to eat big fish. Rapala X Rap Perch, Mepps & Blue Fox spinners, Schishimi Togarashi and fresh garlic, sesame oil, chili sauce, soy sauce, and tons of canola oil and a load of salt should fill out your arsenal.
Keep your freezer as full as possible and it will not run as much. Once the contents freezes it doesn’t have to work as much, thus it will not use as much power. I hope this helps. Love your channel. I look forward to this adventure to the arctic circle!
Have a Gooder! They call you the Breeze 👌
P.s that old boat on land was sweet 🧁 drone shot
Welcome Emme! I’m excited for this new adventure 😃
❤welcome Emi and as usual job well done Dustin Happy trails 😊
Hi Dustin, we are driving the Dempster this June- just watching the fires unfortunately take off again in the north! Stay safe.
All the best to you. We look forward to your next brilliant outstanding contribution to travel videos! See you in Tuk! Happy trails💕 cc
I’ve ridden my motorcycle to Alaska. Great ride Now, I look forward to the two of you on a great drive.
Oh man! This is going to be epic. Safe travels to you and Emmie.
I don't always flare my own brake lines, but when i do, i always do it twice!!!!
Drove the Dempster last summer to Tuk Dustin! CANNOT wait to see it all over again from the perspective of your camera. Super excited for what's to come!
I love that you and Emi get to swap adventures. Certainly will be nice to have a friend on the long trek to the north. Can't wait!
☺️🍻🍻
Super excited for this seasons adventure. Welcome Emi
Thank you so much 💛🌿
glad you have company for this season...which is looking to be an epic adventure....
I love watching your adventures, including the fixes along the way. Hope you guys have a wonderful trip. :)
Visegrips that will crimp off a leaking brake line on route until reaching the repair point comes in handy!
Great tip.
Hi Dustin,
Just wanted to thank you for your videos and taking us on all your adventures and inspiring us to seek our own adventures...we re the couple that approached you at mcleese lake...and wanted to thank you for the sticker offer which would have been awesome but we didn't want to intrude in your day out with your friend😊...but still meeting you made our day...we re big fans
Was great to meet you both today, thanks for coming to say hi. 😊. Next time grab a sticker, because I’m always happy to give them out. lol without folks enjoying the show, I don’t get to pursue this passion, so a sticker is the least I can do. ;)
I'm excited that you have a sidekick for the summer!
this is going to be awesome !!!!!!
Happy Saturday morning everyone!
Too you as well
Dustin, please put a rubber grommet in that aluminum where you ran the wires through the cabinet. The wires will chafe and arc out in time.
Nice to see you with company. Good luck, have fun!
New sub here watching from Dawson City 🖐My wife and I did the Dempster last fall, what a beautiful journey you will definitely love it.
You driving through Vancouver brought back memories of my Bible College days over 20 years ago! I miss that city!
Love this show you've put together! Absolutely love it!!
Just wanted to send out a friendly jesture in regards to you wiring in your freezer. You may want to consider some rubber grommets when you're going threw the aluminium sheet metal. Your adventures can be bumpy at times, and those wires will rub on the metal, eventually arking out - failing. Thus failing your freezer and any food in it.
Happy and safe trails and i look forward to your adventures to " Tuk " this season!!
I always find your latest production right when i need to head off to adult somewhere....
If you use a clear vinyl tube on the bleeder & put 1 loop in it, you can just pump the breaks & be done. The air will not return through the loop.
No more pump & hold mess 🤗
I can help here, Fridge Freezers: They are not as efficient when partly full. Fold an place inside a clean towel, blanket etc to fill the void. This will save a lot of energy. Jim. Outback Australia.
Great episode. The Dempster drive has been on my bucket list since I surveyed it in the 70’s. I was a bush pilot in Inuvik and was involved in the route planning of the highway.
I bet there’s some great stories from that time.
ANOTHER Fantastic "Workshop" Saturday edition, thanks Dustin, and welcome to the Great Canadian Adventure Emi
3:40 I have a Friend "Andy Callum" who works for the Reliable Towing on the Highway thru Hell show.
3:48 always prefered taking Highway 5, the Fraser Canyon to Kamloops, and beyond. The Coquihalla has always been called "The Car Killer" for a reason. That climb up to the old Toll Booth, has killed plenty of cars over the years, in 2008 I popped an engine mount in my 1990 Mazda B2200 coming from Merritt to the toll Booth, and spent a couple of hours trying to get it back in, a kind motorist finally stopped and helped with a jack & a chain to get it to seat, and secure it until I could get back home to North Van.
11:02 Hey Dustin DO NOT forget to put the nut on before you flare it, or you might end up short, and have to make the flare a second time..
Thank you very much ☺️✨
Spotted ya today in Prince Rupert, awesome to see your rig Dustin, good luck on your trip!
Welcome Emi. 😊 Nice to have you along
Thank you very much. ☺️✨
Drawer sliders for the fridge.. build a half drawer so you can put your shelf back in.
Oh this is a great idea. Not gonna happen this season, but I’ll keep it in mind for a refit. 🤘🏻
Welcome Emmy. Looking forward to this series.
Looking forward to the adventure
So excited for the journey! You rock.
Looking forward to this!😊
Love your personality, can do attitude and beautiful artistic films. Thanks for being here. Welcome Emmy!
Thank you.
Thank you so much 😊
The best part about these videos is the cinematic shots that you take, I imagine it must be such a pain to to set up all of your camera equipment for that but it really comes out great.
Thank you
I rode from Vancouver to Inuvik to Anchorage and back on my motorcycle in 2008. The Dempster hwy was the most memorable part of that trip.
Epic plans Justin and can’t wait to get to know Emmy!! It’s going to be a great travel season with Destination Adventure!!!!
Thank you very much ☺️🙏
Safe travels and thank you!
Let the journey begin! So excited to see what the season brings.
Awesome adventure ahead! I will be watching all your videos!

Dustin, great to see you have an adventure partner for the upcoming season, one that we already know. Make sure to tell Emmie hello and to welcome her on this journey of a lifetime! Great to see the new updates to the rig and a few more repairs ( Been a minute since I have wrestled with a flare tool, good to see they still get the job done) ! As usually is the case, once again great production and filming. Thank you for bringing us along with you!
Thank you very much 😊
Glad you have company.
Well you seem a lot more happy and pep in your step, having her with you !!! Good luck in all your travels

I really appreciate that, thank you very much ☺️
Sorry to your without Mick to help you but you have definitely stepped up your game with your new co-pilot Emme. Congratulations on starting your journey and looking forward to joining the Adventure. I hope to be able to see more of Emme and hear how she is enjoying the journey with you. 👍🏼👍🏼
Can't wait to see what adventures you two get up to! I'm sure you're both gonna have a great time!
I love it when you drive through Abbotsford where I grew up.
YAY! I’m SO VERY Happy for Both of you ❤ I had wondered about you shipping the truck to Japan.. How Fabulous would that be! Instead you get to be her personal tour guide 😊
I really appreciate it, thank you ☺️✨
So frigging pumped for this
