The Forgotten Lands, Hidden Hot Springs and Wild Horses. Destination Adventure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2024
- Sometimes the greatest adventures are the ones without a plan. Of course I leave with a rough plan, or at the very least a destination, but a slot of completely free time in between leads to the option to jump on any opportunity presented along the way. This week, that paid off perfectly. We are heading into the Chilcotin, to complete a route that we attempted last year, but couldn't complete due to a washout. From Williams Lake, there are many loop routes within the Chilcotin, each passing though some absolutely gorgeous territory and history. Most of my life, I imagined the Chilcotin to be little more than grassland, but the terrain is incredibly divers, and the wildlife is abundant. This trip brought to me some amazing experiences with wild and free range horses, old homesteads, friendly locals and of course one amazing view after the next.
It is important to educate yourself on the route you plan in the grasslands, because camp spots are limited due to the slow regrowth of the terrain. I was welcomed into each community, and had nice conversations with each person I had the pleasure to talk with, but respecting the land is incredibly important.
It is important to understand and respect culture as well. I had the pleasure of visiting some incredibly beautiful hot springs on this trip, but these locations are often of historically cultural significance. And for that reason, permission is required to access. I am very fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to enjoy so many miles of beautiful country in this trip, and I truly hope you all enjoy it with me.

I don't know if youtube has awards for video production but you absolutely deserve to win some. Such a beautiful "backyard" you get to travel and explore.
Thank you.
Definitely agree
"A little bit of lubrication never hurts when you're dealing with an old gal like this" What a way to start a video!
Love your stuff, Dustin! You're a hidden gem of UA-cam.
Agree. Im more of a 2 stroke oil in the tank kind of guy
I had a 98 12 valve, great truck! Now have a 15 24 valve, love the power and torque! Love the Dodge Ram Cummins diesels!
Thanks for sharing your Chilcotin adventure…..Love my home province.
I has a Burmese 2.75 piston triangular with 12 1/2 valve tubular pushrod slant 7 with 2 speed forward 5 speed reverse with neutral between each clutch push. Before ya pilot it ya better give a shit cuz otherwise you'll have T-Bone steak for lunch tomorrow. Don't forget to check the air pressure in your shoes. Lockjaw is like a beach.
I knew some truckers who when they changed the fuel filters they would fill the new ones up with atf. They would put the new on, start the motor and floor it. Smoked like hell for about 5 minutes or so and then cleared up. They said it was a good way to clean the injectors.
Thank you, I have been lost in my anxiety since my doctor's appointment for a cancer check-up. It has me a bit nervous Positive distraction and a beautiful adventure, please. 💖 🙏💝
I'll be thinking bout ya and hoping your cancer free.
don't sweat it you got this.. here's for hoping that you are not only free but also that your cancer free
I hope you have some amazing support and love and care. F*ck Cancer! Fight fight fight.
🙏🏼Praying for you.
Wild horses baby, wild horses
Thanks Dustin, I'm sitting on my couch and I'm positive there are ticks crawling all over me. Haven't seen them yet, but I feel them!!!!
Dustin, you are my First Choice on UA-cam . Your Intelligence, language skills and amazing attention to detail are phenomenal. I’ve learned so much from your videos and I’m always looking forward to seeing your productions . They’re mesmerizing and your Music choices are perfect for all ages. Yes, it’s a grandma here, LOVING this!
Very much appreciated, thank you. 😊
Anyone else follow along these adventures on Google earth whilst watching? Or am I just dull like that?😆
That horse running down the hill was just showing you the true meaning of "horse power"! Thanks for this awesome start to the summer season.
And thank you for sharing your soundtracks with us, the ones I like I add to my Spotify playlist
Up until a few years ago, before I found your channel, I thought I'd explored the Cariboo and Chilcotin fairly extensively. You quickly dissuaded me of that thought, showing me parts of my Province I never dreamed of seeing. And you carry on...Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Me too . Did not know of that 'warm spring ' . It looked very peaceful and kinda spiritual. Glad to be on the road with you. Thx.
Its a rainy saturday morning here in TX, so that means playing musical chairs with the rain and letting animals in and out for potty breaks all day. But it also means another great coffe time with Dustin. I absolutely loved this video Dustin. The horses, music, scenery, and of course your great humor. I know for myself i cant thank you enough for doing these. They truly do mean so much, to so many.
Thank you for enjoying 😊
Yeah I found this dude when I was deep diving 12 valve Cummins before I bought my 12 valve daully a couple weeks ago. I’m watching UA-cam today too while it’s raing in Austin and my 12 valve is parked in the driveway covered with a tarp and the engine is torn apart fixing the Killer Dowel Pin haha…. my girlfriend is pissed about the garage being full of diesel radiators and intercoolers haha
@designfabrication512 you must go back and watch all of Dustin, top 3 channels for sure. I have a 2015 Jeep Patriot Sport and a 1987 Chevy G20 but must be honest the build series videos had me glued. I learned so much, probably won't use most of it but I loved it all just the same. Enjoy your build, and howdy from Dallas.
Are we not going to discuss that drone shot through the power lines? 😱 COME ON, MAN!!! 😳 That was next-level!!!! 🫡
Am I an idiot in not understanding how he drives and flys all at the same time and doesn't run it into everything?
@@d_rock_t No doubt! It must be some form of Canadian wizardry.
The best show on any network I’m positive after watching all your videos your fate wasn’t on a cruise ship
The dedication to the shot is real.
🍻
Wow, all i can say... You really are doing such an amazing thing with your video! Top notch
Great video. It was a trip down memory lane for me, haven't been out that way since the early seventies. We didn't have drones in those days, seeing yours in action is a great addition. I look forward to your videos, keep 'm comin'!! Appreciate your work putting the videos together. Cheers
Pretty cool to see the horses like that.
British Columbia, the envy of the whole world!
I love the cinematography in your videos. Great inspiration for my content! Thanks for all your hard work to share with us.
Thank you.
Thank you for yet another excellent video. You rock bud!
Amazing cinematography as always. The Cariboo/Chilcotin is my religion. You show it's beauty so well. Thank you!!
Superb start to the new season! I loved seeing the horses, wild or otherwise, the cows, the hint of Booboo - glad the bear did not catch you with your pants down, and the sights most if us will never see. That hotspring/spring ... Simply beautiful. Thank you, Dustin. I am excited for another season with Destination Adventure.
The horses are thinking that drone is the biggest mosquito they ever seen! LOL
Or the biggest horse-fly...
On the road again!!.... thanks Dustin for another awesome trip!!
you have a beautiful Country.
greetsz from holland...max...
Great film making, congratulations
Peace be with you and your travels.
Thanks Dustin for another great adventure. Greetings from Fort Saskatchewan Alberta
Dude I love your selections of songs. I have looked several up and now a fan of the Dirty Guv’nahs👍🏼👍🏼
If anything, your honest! and teaching people what integrity and honor looks like.
That’s very nice, thank you.
Thanks again for sharing Canada with us, great "roadside" attractions to spice up the wondrous views, lakes, river, bridge... videography is top notch keeping my attention every second! Hilarious dip in the warm springs - makes me miss the hot springs along the rocky mountains growing up in Utah and Idaho. WILD horsies too ;>) they're such curious beauties.
Great watching, makes me motivated to get the camper finished
Saturday morning my cup of coffee & DA...what could be better😊
Deadly tunes on this one! 🤙🤙🤙 Man that spring looks beautiful. Hopefully get to visit one day!
No towel…you know who it was…your buddy! You know, the guy that drinks your beer!
Thanks that place was beautiful I enjoyed all your videos
Hubby and we’re howling at you paddling in the hot spring! Love your work Dustin, long time watcher from Sarina qld Australia 🙌🏼
Absolutely love to follow your adventures...seriously. I'm glad you mention the name of places etc as I check and follow on the map to see where you are :) Nothing like travelling light while you do all the "work" ;) See you on the next one.
You have the best backyard... Love the adventures.
Very cool hotspring! That seems so exotic, nothing like that here.
Epic adventure as always Dustin! You have a knack for consistently leaving me in awe with the your talent and your passion for adventure! Thank you for letting us tag along!❤
Thank you very much. 😊
Epic travels today. Love your music choices for this episode!
Love the adventures you go on and the scenery is incredible
Dustin thank you for showing me places that I will never get to see. So beautifully done videos, entertaining and the views are out of this world. Can't wait each week for another video from you! Thanks again!
Really enjoying your adventures. Hope see you on Vancouver Island soon 🌀👍🏻🇨🇦🎣
Another gem of a video ❤
Awesome vid I wish I could travel to places like Thea’s I’m in Australia so i can’t go until I’m older but for now I’m going to explore my own places thanks for inspiring me.
When you were first going to get in the spring your bike was on the ground!
I just found this chanel, and I love it. Greets from bavaria.
Welcome to the channel.
Dustin, the modern Chilcotan cowboy.
I love that the band gives you the go ahead to explore one of their sacred spots and check out the sweat lodges…as well as that spring. My wife went crazy with her Shazam app on all the great tunes you’ve used in the video. Great stuff as usual, Dustin. All the best from Penticton 👍🏽
I have experienced some great hospitality with the nations around the Chilcotin. Very enjoyable experiences, but I’m always sure to ask, and I think it’s important.
There’s always a soundtrack at the end of each video too, so that might help find some. :)
I super appreciate the peek at the map. Puts the destination in the adventure.
Yet another masterpiece, thank you Dustin.
😊
Wow, great photography….you have some real serious camera talent. It’s much appreciated. Hope the money guys discover you.
I am always amazed at your camera and drone shots- it looks so effortless, but it has got to be hard work. I guess it is not work, if you are loving it! Thanks Again
It is lots of work, but I do enjoy it.
I spent many years in the Cariboo and Chilcotin region. Camping and fishing and exploring. Personal bad memories tainted the rugged, amazing beauty and history of this area. After traveling with Destination Adventure, I now for the first time after 20 years want to return to this amazing part of the Province. Thank you Dustin for sharing your amazing creative talent, you change peoples lives. Spilled box of chocolates 💕
As always videography ten out of ten. Watching from Panama City Florida,USA. 🇺🇸🦅
Thank you
This adventure is amazing❤🎉😊
Great vid D. looking forward to more " tasty jams" from you. Cheers from the Nerepis of New Brunswick.
Another great video Dustin. Being from Alberta I find your adventures and history that you share to be fascinating. I think you could spend many years (which I hope you do) exploring and sharing your adventures with us.
I plan to 😊
Beaux voyage d'exploration , great adventure , merci pour tout
Ahh yes, my Saturday morning is complete! I love reading all the comments from all you other lovlies enjoying your morning coffee and a little DA 🤙
Dustin I had a thought about your comment regarding the stairs of the old farmhouse that access the top floor, could it be that during winter the snow depth could make using the ground floor entrance a challenge so they built a secondary entrance to the top floor? Anyway, thanks fo another great vid!
Another great adventure, thanks Dustin.
You are an amazing artist, Dustin. Phenomenal images, all the way through. I appreciate your hard work.
Thank you very much 😊
Great video, I always tell my friends that you’re the only adventure person that ever makes me laugh. And a small thing- thank you for looking into the camera lens, so many UA-camrs look at the screen and watch themselves as opposed to engage the audience.
🍻
Another awesome video , thanks Dustin 👍👍
Thank you for sharing your adventures
awesome work on the rig beauty vids love em great work
As someone who can't go on these epic adventures, thank you for bringing your backyard into my home. Much love and safe travels from Atlanta, Georgia!
Very happy to share 😊
Thanks for a beautiful ride to start the season Dustin ! Cheers 👊😎👍
Never get tired of the beautiful views of Canada. Thank you for sharing your backyard.
Incredible start to the season. The hot spring took me back to a very similar spot we found near Atlin. Even the temperature seems the same. 🥶
Excellent orchestration of scenic views, music and commentary! I especially love the drone chaser shots of the rig. Another hidden gem with the warm spring, too.
Another A+ video Dustin. Loved it
It’s interesting that you’re taking your rig into the Chilcotin area where season 8 of “Alone” was filmed. Perhaps you should get the $500,000 prize! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Drone thro the power lines was sick!
Your show is fantastic. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your show is so well shot and edited that it surpasses most of what is on television and youtube. I'm shocked that you don't have 2 million subs! Love the show. I hope to run into you out on the road. Thank you.
I appreciate that, thank you. I’ll get there some day 😊
Amazing places that I will never see for real, thank you. If you want to put a little extra oil in the diesel, try 2 stroke oil, we used to put it in the petrol in racing cars, it gave us a few extra RPM. Cool music.
You never disappoint Dustin!!! It makes me really happy to see your notifications pop up!! I appreciate your hard work putting all this together.
It's always and even better day when your video pops up in the feed. Dustin, your story telling, music, photography, editing are second to none! I live in Michigan and feel like I have a Canadian Brother that takes me on these adventures! Always ready for more! Enjoy family and I can't wait for the next one. Loved the Horses as well. Take care and stay safe!
Another great video. Just thought you might like some help on the tool box inventory.
You need to have a roll of Gorilla Tape AND
A roll of heavy gauge tie wire for things like your E-Bike issue. I’m sure mick will be helping you out on fixing it back up.🤣🤣😬
Them horses are beeeaaauuuutiful! What an experience that must be having them fly past you! 😊
Also, if the spring bubbles dont smell, they're probably CO2 - could be a proper, potable mineral spring (preferably before anyone jumps in 😅)
Got my wander lust engaged…time to dig out the old BRMB.
Thanks for another wonderful video just amazing!!
Thanks for the tour
Dustin every video just blows me away tat much better. you are so creative. I can imagine how getting this type of footage takes time. Thank you for sharing with us how you see the world.
Thank you 😊
Another awesome video. Thank You so very much for sharing this with me
Such stunning scenery and animals. Thanks so much for taking us with you on your adventures 👍
I come here to relax and enjoy. Dustin delivers everytime. ✌️
Thanks Dustin, a beautiful little trip. British Columbia is just stunning, who could ever tire of that scenery? Beautifully shot too x
I hate to wait for the next trip. Pack up and get going!
This really checks all the boxes for what you do best, production, soundtrack, so good! Thanks for sharing!
Risky business flying that drone through thouse lines twice! ( just rip it buds) 😮 pro pilot or what! It's the little things 😂 great video as always!
💝💝💝💝 From Angele: Your video production is out of this world! What lovely shots! My husband and I both enjoyed this story with its images......and of course, your humour. Thank you for sharing!!! 💝💝💝💝
Thank you very much. 😊
Wait a Minute - Dustin, did you just take the drone between the power cables there?! Dude - Nice! hehe
And heck, my whole TV Screen just Whited out was you got in the "Slightly Warm" Spring! You should see Aberdeen Royal Blue...We have an additional stage of tanning here as we have to make it to pasty white from blue before we can hit Red Lobster! 😋
I think there was a tiny bit of wobble on the suspension bridge, but looked pretty solid - apart from the grating below...always fun - reminded me of oil rigs over here in the North sea, Try staring through the same stuff down onto the north sea too - That is something else!
Beautiful countryside for the trip there matey and I'm pretty sure those horses just wanted to race ya!
As always
Great tunes🎉
Thanks for sharing your backyard with us.😊
Love the adventure. Makes me want to take my family on similar adventures to see these places. From the Lower Mainland and would love to explore more of BC.
You have truly mastered filming with your drone while driving and your spectacular camera placement for drive bye is footage fantastic. It must take you a long time to set it all up.
I appreciate that, thank you.
Superb, many thanks
This was such a beautiful adventure! I'm so jealous! You're living my dream & that's something amazing you'll forever hold on to. Your videos are always a big "go to" for me. The music makes it even better. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you
Absolutely loved your definition of a bridle. Noticed you’re getting a little thin on top, welcome to my world. We love you Dustin! Take care.
Halter , but close enough.
@@lhollybow sorry, never had horses growing up just pigs, chickens and cattle. My father said all horses do is eat. Wouldn’t let us have one.
Ive been following you for close to a year now and you just keep getting better!! My cousin lives in B.C. He's a dual citizenship kind of fella. LOL!! Maybe some day you'll run into him and his wife.
Keep up the great work!!
