  • Before I left for my first trip in the Chilcotin, I was told about this old route by my father. We tried to map it out, but sure enough there was no road on the map book. Surprisingly there was not even a trail listed on the map. Throughout my travels in the area, I was asking folks if they had ever heard of, or traveler the old route, and I was able to find three locals that knew of the route. As always, I was met with some skepticism as to weather or not the route would accommodate a larger rig like mine, but in the end it was one of the easiest and most beautiful route of the season. The trip all the way around, on the normal road, is just shy of 200 km. But as the crow flies it is less than 60 km between the two locations. This road is the most direct route, but due to conditions it would probably be faster to go around. Without being held to a timeline, the forgotten road is by far a more enjoyable route. The scenery is amazing, the history is interesting and the road is passable by almost any 4x4 vehicle.
    All in all, I think it was the perfect way to end my time in the Chilcotin, and I hope you have all enjoyed the area and the adventures as well.

    Come on everyone. Share these videos and Dustin’s story. Sure he is almost at 200k subscribers but honestly should be over a million. Only reason I can think of that he isn’t is that enough people don’t know and that’s a shame. There are way too many people missing out on his great talent and content. I know he is my favorite channel. I’ve watched some videos multiple times and can’t say that for anyone else. I just want to show my appreciation to him. He deserves so much more!! 200k in no time!!!

      UA-cam is doing him dirty, and not putting him in the algorithm as a suggestion... one day they will though, and we'll all look back to when we watched before he was famous. I think he needs to start putting van life in his title or hashtag it so more people find it... I know this ain't van life but your gotta tag things to come up in searches.

    Oh man, this brings back memories of me and my husband beating our way along the craziest "roads" just for the fun of it. Sometimes an old Volvo sedan is the best thing for not giving a crap where you take it. Spend the whole day getting deliberately lost, cranking the stereo

    Just woke up here at 5.15am in Tasmania. Took the puppy out for her morning business, made a coffee, back to bed and picked up the iPad to check the news. And WOOOT, spotted Dustin’s notification. I forgot it was Sunday! A very cool surprise! I’ll start with this vid I think? The News can wait….only ever bad nowadays anyway 😢.
    Cheers to you all.

      Hey Dustin, the removal or downgrade of a few roads in this area are to keep the road treading down to a minimum in respect to the locals and the natural beauty. I do the mapping for BRMB and had the pleasure of visiting this area last year. I get a kick out of you pointing out the road and looking for adding a name to it. The formal name is Chilko FSR, but i definitely will look at your suggestion. Keep on truckin. Respect Andrew from BRMB.

    Some beefy trailer light covers would help with those lights. A 3 sided metal box with a bolt on mesh (expanded metal) cover with a bend to cover the open side of the box. The mesh would allow the tail lights and side markers to be protected but visible.

I have really fought to get back, but I can't , my body just will not let me. Your videos help me to remember all the places I have wondered in my past. I can only dream of those places in my present condition. I feel like I'm right there part of the journey. Keep making others feel welcome and a part of something, many only dream about ! You're amazing. Thank you.

As a fellow BC'er (born and raised in the prairies though), I've spent the last 15 years exploring BC but have not had the time or money to get out to the remote places like you do. I feel like I am right there with you! My wife, son and I live in Kelowna now but I've driven through Williams Lake so many times. Northern BC has some of the most breathtaking sights I have ever seen. Can't wait for your next upload. Keep on keep'n on brother!

The Dad, the originator of the Lodge, was a TWA pilot , that's why it has an airport , his daughter had a horse that had a career in the RCMP musical ride , and much more , Williams Lake kids , you may know the name , they'll know your surname for sure.

    Thank you for sharing your Cariboo Chilcotin with us. It's an area I look forward to exploring in depth in the future. It's not too far from my home in Little Fort, B.C. And thank you for reminding us to get permission on lands that don't belong to us. Your videos are always a treat and always whet my appetite for getting out there and adventuring, whether its a roadtrip or just a day excursion. You are the means to see these areas for those who can't go themselves and the inspiration for those of us who can. Your success and the growth in your subscriptions is a testament to your content, vision, and videography. Your videos never fail to inspire and delight and start a conversation of 'where shall we go next". Well done, Dustin.

    The only UA-cam channel I put in full screen... gorgeous as always. The "new" truck brings a new layer to your stories that I really enjoy watching.

    Right there with you Carole...except not so much with the tailor tacks.
    Scissors for apparel too...I only use rotary cutters when quilting and only with a straight edge. I have no control without a ruler.
    I learned all your "rules" in the late 60s in Home Ec!
    Great vlog...
