Abandoned Military Truck and Cabin Deep in the Canadian Woods | Destination Adventure
Вставка

- 1944 Canadian right hand drive Chevrolet military truck, found in the remote forest of British Columbia. The first time I saw this truck was about ten years ago, and at that time I believe it had been sitting in that exact location for decades already. It is remarkable how little rust and how little change there has been, but I suppose things were just built that tough for the military.
The truck looks small now, but it has actually sunk a fair bit into the ground, and of course the tires are all gone now. The engine is still in the truck, minus the head, and the rest of the drivetrain is complete. All in all, it is a very neat piece of history sitting out there, and a vehicle that is far from a common discovery. There has been a lot of logging in this area over the years, so I am guessing that provided the road infrastructure to get a truck into this location, though today there is barely a hint of a trail. I believe the cabin is an old trappers cabin, but that has also sat vacant and abandoned now for decades.
Horsefly lake is a beautiful place to spend a little time and do some exploring, and I was delighted to meet some great local fans while in the area.

The truck is a WW2 era Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck. Commonly known as the Ford or Chevrolet Blitz here in Australia. The one in the video is a Ford due the flathead V8, Chevys had a straight 6.
Came here to comment so someone could know but you beat me too it
Came here to post, but you nailed it. The old flathead was a dead giveaway.
Looks like about a 55 Chevy ?😊
At 4:21😊
@@rickreese5794Yep, looks like it
I was actually in that truck when it was in really nice shape, that cabin is called Gun Smoke cabin and is the site of the largest grizzly being shot in the Cariboo by the owner of the cabin at the time, Clifford E Carlson, after it stalked him for days on end.I have a cabin a few kms from there and have been on the lake for 55 years
Wow, what a small world!
Hey Mr B. What kinds of sport fish are there in that lake? Best spot for catching & release?
love your music picks and watching all your adventures over the years.
The videos are really great and the music just polishes it nicely. Thanks Dustin🇨🇦😁👋
I know this is your life, but for us unable to see these beautiful places in person, there are no words. Thank you. ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks so much for coming along on the adventure 😊
Dave’s the man! The free beers in the boat is an awesome find! God bless Dave
🍻
Dave hopefully started a tradition...?
"The Shook Up Hidden Boat Beer Destination Adventure challenge" ?!
I’m in for hiding beer in the boat if I see it
Shout out to Dave. Legendary move brother.
🍻
I can’t express in words how much I enjoy this channel. I live vicariously through it! I’m ashamed to say that a part of me is afraid to travel because of the state of humanity.
Where he is traveling the only thing you need to fear is nature.
Once you get out of the City , the goodness in humanity is abundant - no worries. Do it or curl up in your bubble and die.
@@thereissomecoolstuff And you really don't need to fear nature...just respect it.
@@metaxaanabeer If a grizzly is after you it’s going to take more than respect. Notice Dustin doesn’t tent camp.
@@thereissomecoolstuff I'm not sure how to respond to this. Obviously you have not watched much of Dustin's adventures, his close work with bears is legendary and gripping video. Me? For 30+ years we have tent camped all over northern Vancouver Island (home), northern BC, Northwest Territories and Yukon and not once had a bad outcome with any bear, despite seeing many. Our record was 11 in one day on the Cassiar Highway, northern BC. You have trouble with bears at places like Yellowstone where folks feed them, leave garbage around, etc. Come up north, real true north and you will find very little bear/human interaction because we tend to respect the bears, the land and our place in it.
It's nice to have a friend to go along with you. Not just your friends on U tube.
every time you share new episode my stress level drops an order of magnitude. such amazing footage, so peaceful, so humble and human.
You're fortunate to share your travels with a companion
I can’t believe I am the first person from Horsefly to comment. Man I miss that place. Spent many many hours on that lake in the summer and in those mountains in the winter. It’s was an awesome evening watch while I sit in the desert at 40C.
Met some great folks when I was there 😊
Oh yes I bet!!! It’s an amazing community. I am looking forward to a few days there this summer hopefully
Great video! My five year old and I watch your videos any chance we can. We enjoy the travel , boating and history lessons- you make us laugh too. He wanted to say hey- Leeeets whip itt!
Dustin’s smile is a little wider and he has a twinkle in his eye. Thanks Emmy for the obviously making our man happy. I enjoyed your beautifully edited video today.
I found the Cletrac crawlers were built by Oliver, and after White purchased Oliver, they stopped production Cletrac in 1967.
The Cleveland Tractor Company was it's own entity prior to Oliver purchasing them. Many of their smaller crawlers had gas engines. Many made by Hercules.
"i drink all beers" lol, a true canadian

My weekends aren't the same unless I get a Destination Adventure episode. I'm thrilled every Saturday by beautiful scenery, history, sounds, sights... What you find and show us is always inspiring, whether it's nature or man-made and it's always cool to see! Thank you, Dustin, for taking us with you on your adventures! And hi, Emmy!!! We'd love to hear what you think, too!
Thank you 😊

Amazing to see a couple doing what my gf and I did in the 90's. People always joked she was a mail order bride. It worked and we have amazing kids now. I guess now it's ooh, you met on the internet :) Love the videos.
Thank you... Just finished up a 16 hour day as a concert engineer.... I watch you and relax once I am home.... - McDubb

🍻 😊
Another Fantastic Adventure Dustin
13:57 I believe that is a 1943 C13 or a C15 CMP Truck (Canadian Military Pattern) built in Oshawa Ontario they were built by both Ford & Chevy, with slight differences between them.
I like it when you get the Swellfish out! Great music as well. Thanks Dustin!
HorseFly, what a great name to call a place. You just do not want to be bitten by one. Nice vid, good vibs.
So good to see you out in the wild again this season Dustin. Ans I'm very glad Emmy is with you to take what she can in. You two be careful
Love the foray into the wilds with you

Thanks again Dustin, great one ,love the old towns, homesteads, so sad to see abandoned but understand.
You live a good life, my friend. I used to do a lot of stuff like this with my dad, but I lost him in 2018 to cancer and you know what it really hasn’t been the same. Me and him would go on a lot of adventures finding old trucks,cabins,fishing ponds you name it, and I truly miss it.
Your videos bring a lot of joy to people keep it up🤘
Thank you for enjoying. I’m sorry for your loss, be sure to get out and enjoy twice as much for both.
❤ your videos are always excellent Dustin thank you. Drone work is always been fantastic.

Noooo your new jacket! Just put the bibs on and jump in the lake, that'll clean it up lol
Looks like it did its job out there on the lake in that cold wind.
Another great adventure Dustin, we can't wait to see what the summer adventurers bring you!

He and a friend were on pedal bikes at the Co op last year the first time . He is going to be keeping his eyes peeled now! Was great to meet you for myself and also Emmy. anyways, safe travels again!
I drove one of those in the NZ army in 1968. Great for off road and river beds. Love your adventures

Hello from the south Okanagan where we hit 31°C today so spring has sprung or we hope so. Thanks for taking us along once more on your adventure. Had extended family that had a placer mine out there back in the day and they also chased moose there too back when. It's good to see Emmy along on the trip, we've found exploring with friends is usually more than double the fun. Lastly I enjoyed the choice and volume of your music again - well done. Safe travels you two.
Having an amazing adventure buddy during these epic destination adventures is something special!!
Gorgeous waterfall shots, I love it. So excited for this season with you both!!
Awesome as always and thanks for sharing 🤟😎
Your adventures have become mine. Thanks so much.
