- There are few places in this world that man has not set foot, but everywhere he goes, something is left behind. When I left for my trip up north, I knew I would visit Kincolith and the Nass Valley, but not with the intention of discovering a town. This part of the country holds a special place in my heart. Having travelled all around the world, this is a true gem that we have here in BC. All of this land belongs to the indigenous, and they have welcomed me in with open arms for two years in a row now. aside from the beauty, this land is plentiful. The crabbing is amazing, the fishing is amazing and the foraging is amazing, you just have to be careful for bears because they are everywhere.
People have lived along the coast of BC for thousands of years, and I feel thankful to be able to see it in all of its glory today.
It is still unknown what the history was of this find, but I am guessing it was the site of a small town and cannery. Our coastline was littered with canneries decades ago, but I don't have enough evidence to say for sure.
If it wasn't obvious in the video, let me tell you how excited I am for the Northern adventures. Growing up in BC, it seems I took advantage of the beauty around me for so many years. Working as a Video Producer on cruise ships taught me how to capture that beauty well, but I still didn't take time to truly appreciate it. After traveling for months in Mexico with the motorhome, I began to crave the north like it was a drug. This season, I am getting you all hooked on the north drug too.

Mostly, thank you for enjoying.
That's an old Imperial Oil sign. Great piece of history. They normally would say "products" or "dealer" below the imperial on the front. They were used to either designate a licensed seller of imperial oil products or a piece of machinery using said products. Fun fact, they were acquired by Standard Oil in the 1890s, JD Rockefeller's burgeoning petroleum monopoly. They retained the Imperial Oil labelling throughout Canada though. They still operate oil sands in northern Alberta today.
That seems a little early. That sign was in a condition that would indicate a much more recent abondonment. I'm thinking it was from Imperial Metals. They're a mining and metals company in British Columbia.
Imperial Oil Dealer sign from 1930's
Awesome comment and info, thank you so much.
One selling for 2100 on kijiji in cranbrook…..did you take it and sell it lol
@@jcxxmotoxx Imperial Metals has different logo though
Imperial Oil - started in 1880. Nice piece of history
just goggled the Imperial sign, it is Canadian, double sided porcelain and if in exellent shape it would be worth $2100......love seeing you back in our back yard...hope sunshine comes to the area...travel safely...
Hello from Ireland, I love your videos, they look like they should be on the discovery channel! Thank you for the respect you show and the amazing cinematography as well, I know so much work goes into what you do, look forward to all your future videos.
Thank you so much. Always awesome to hear from fans in other parts of the world. Thanks for enjoying.
You live in a beautiful country as well my friend.
In the meantime Discovery Channel is airing "Paranormal Nightshift"
@@HankWilliamWinthrop i don't even have a tv now, but back in the day i used to watch a&e. Had plenty of good stuff. Then i noticed 10-15 years ago or so it had become the dawg the bounty hunter channel. Sheesh.
Ireland is a great country to and very Beautiful...Greatings from Sweden
As a young girl in the 60s white jars often held cold cream or moisturizing cream. I remember vicks coming in glass jars as well. Cool discoveries...and I'm glad to see BC welcome you back with a crab feast💚🥳
Baby cream came in white jars too.
Salmon berries! Awesome. Took me back to my childhood umpteen years ago as a young girl tramping through the forest exploring with my younger sisters. It was always a treat to find salmon berries! Thank you!
The label on the cup is actually Medalta. The factory is in Medecine Hat Alberta. They made all sorts of clay and pottery items.
What a great adventure! That’s for taking us along. I enjoyed that very much.
Everything about the archeology and finding old things that noone really sees is just awesome
Dustin, my man....first off: Thank you, many of us live vicariously through your adventures 🤗👍,
Second point...bring on the wild North! Woot Woot!
Awesome video. Nice 👍
We went by Williams Lake on our way to our new home in Alaska Oct 2021. That drive through BC, the Yukon and Alaska was one of the most beautiful drives I have ever driven. It isn't for the "faint of heart" depending on what time of year you drive it. We were cutting it close going through Haines Junction into Tok, then through Anchorage. There was already snow on the roads. I really enjoyed your videos, and loved reliving some of our drive with you. I highly recommend driving the Al/Can highway to every single adventurous driver and road trippers out there. It will absolutely make you stop and take a deep breath, as you marvel at the incredible planet, and the most beautiful areas in the world, in my humble opinion. Definitely needs to be on everyone's bucket list. Thanks for sharing this! 😊
Wonderful comment, thank you.
I sure miss the Cariboo and all of its beauty. Thanks for sharing video of home.
Auwsome..so glad you back at it..we have missed you and Love the new Logo on the RV.. Auwsome!!..the perforated design on those men's boots could date it back to the turn of the century or perhaps the 30s when that design was back in style again..Thank you for fun video !
12:59 Looks like an Imperial Oil sign. I believe it was bought by ESSO oil and gas company. I recognize the shape of the oval from my childhood in 1960s.
You are from Billy’s Puddle! I had no idea! I’m A Kamloops born and raised girl! Love your channel and keep up the great work! From one Canadian UA-camr to another . 🤍🤍🤍
I can get so wrapped up and lost in your videos. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Thank you!
I AM SO JEALOUS!!! Not just about the crab, (although I am definitely jealous about that), but all of it - the traveling in such beautiful country, the boat ride in free, flowing water, the jumping out and exploring when you see something that catches your fancy, and all the untold stories you evoke with every little trinket you uncover and dust the dirt off of! You are my favorite explorer and I am grateful that you bring your camera so we can all come along for the ride - Thank You ever so much!!!! (hope the crab was as good as it looked - YUM!!).
You’re very welcome, and thank you for all the kind words. Ps. The crab was amazing. Lol
Also, love the fact you have Stitch as your passenger. My granddaughters favorite character
SO GOOD!!!! Cant wait for the adventures!!!
Wicked video! My dad grew up in Ging̱olx as a kid, and we go back every so often. It's a shame the hot springs was closed but hopefully you'll be able to hit it up another time !
You are so lucky. Thank you for taking me along with you on your road trip. So, so beautiful.
That teacup is from Medalta Pottery, it was a large pottery manufacturer and brick yard in Medicine Hat, Alberta. They made everything from bricks to sewer pipes to large crocks to ashtrays and obviously tea cups. There is a museum at the old Medalta site, if you are ever in southern Alberta it is worth the cost of admission to tour around. On a side note, one of my wife's uncles used to work there and my wife told me a lot of stories about her time in Medicine Hat. Cool find and great video.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw that. I was born in a little town between the Hat and Lethbridge. my mom talked about the place in Medicine Hat that made hand-blown glass items.
Fantastic and Beautiful. Thank you for the magnificent glimpse. Excited to see what's next...
I love the remote adventures where no one has been the most! BC is so beautiful and so big!
Welcome back up north. I truly enjoy your spirit.
Thank you for the happy adventure this morning! The cup with the broken handle was made by Medalta Pottery in the Medicine Hat area of Alberta. They made housewares for decades that were used throughout Canada and beyond. The J&J on the jar is Johnson & Johnson.
They still make pots in part of the Medalta factory in Medicine Hat. The rest has been preserved just as it was when workers walked away from the machines - its an incredible museum, and also houses an artist in residence ceramics facility. I came here to correct the Medalta reference, but you beat me to it.
Thanks folks, it’s fun to find something new and learn a bit about it.
Hello glad to see you back here, and thanks for the beautiful virtual trip. P
I love that you find things, take pleasure from the discovery, and then leave things behind for others to discover. It’s amazing how everyday items from as recently as 40-50 hrs ago are now artifacts! Thanks for sharing - this is a great channel!
Imperial sign with 3 stars was introduced in 1931 and inspired the naming of 3 stars on Hockey Night in Canada.
another great one! can't wait for the next one
Absolutely love this chanel.❤👍😁💯🤟
Looks like you found an abandoned WW2 logging camp. When troops were ordered out, they literally left EVERYTHING. There are logging camp remnants just like these all along the BC coast. I visited one in 2015 on Haida Gwaii just off Louise island.
well, the Japan Saki bottle kills that idea, unless they could get it before the war
@@InFamousProductions There were 100's of japanese-canadians on the coast before the war, when the government rounded them all up and sent them to concentration camps in the interior. There's been Nikkei (Japanese-Canadians) working as the backbone of fishing and logging in this province since the mid-1800's.
@@theuglytruckling ah ha! didn't know. Us yanks down south of you don't get much schooling on our northern neighbors about this kind of stuff. Good to know and makes sense. As a note, not to defend the situation that happened during the war, the town I'm from in CA was and is one of the largest oil reserves in the world, and at the beginning of the war, before they put them in the prison camps, the police/military found a Japanese loyalist with a secret short wave radio and was in contact with the imperial Japanese government telling them all about our oil productions and locations etc. (we had many oil refineries) . so it was not entirely unfounded of the paranoia of the day. The west coast of California people were terrified after Pearl Harbor , and was even attacked a few times by submarine. any way, love your channel!
Hi there and THANK YOU for making my heart smile today. I grew up in Terrace, climbing & exploring the coastal mountains, fishing the Skeena and camping all throughout the areas you were highlighting in this video. I now live in Germany and I cannot tell you how special it was for me to happen upon your channel. Thank you for awakening precious memories for me. I have subscribed to your channel now - just so I can continue, from time to time, to enjoy my former home vicariously through you. All the best to you.
So glad you're back! This is the content I love. Northern nature. Excited for the Alaskan journey. Cheers!
Absolutely beautiful!!Sad that so many people take the beauty of nature for granted:/ They overlook it & it's therapeutic powers. Loved seeing you appreciate it♡ Thank you for taking us with you on another great adventure!
Awesome Dustin! Great to see you made it to Gingolx, a community, we with the Indigenous Mountain Bike Program have been working with for a while. Later this summer, one of our local Williams Lake timber framers will put up a beautiful picnic shelter in the village. I saw you leaving town, heading north with all your gear loaded so I assumed you're heading to your next destination.
Thanks Thomas. Last year was my first time in this area and I totally fell in love. Was great to be back. Nice to hear about the bike program as well.
Welcome home and thank you for sharing. And those are big crabs happy eating
Great content. Beautiful scenery. Wonderful dinner. It's a good day!
Hello from Columbus Kansas I always enjoy your videos. It so beautiful there God sure did blessed this land . Congratulations on your UA-cam award 👏.
I pray blessings over you and yours and whatever you do, do it with your whole heart ❤️
As a kid I remember us driving up to 'Willy's Puddle' from Duncan almost every year for the rodeo. I had an aunt and a few cousins who lived there and it was always an awesome summer adventure. Took my kids on a vacation a number of years back and we drove that same old highway stopping in Williams Lake and visiting Barkerville, just like we had done when we were kids. Not much had changed the last time I was thru there either..........
Also heard the nickname "Bill's ditch"
Chief Will-yum would tune you guys up for talking like that.
Simply beautiful. Thank you.
What an awesome little adventure! I love seeing the north of our beautiful province.
Very excited for this newest adventure😻🥰
I was working up in this area this year! The lava flow and drowned forest was stunning! I had to stop and check it out. Thanks for sharing this so I can show my wife and she can see how beautiful it was! Cheers.
What an awesome day ❤️
Bro!! These videos keep getting better and better! I felt like I was right there with you exploring that shoreline. That old Imperial Gas/oil sign would be a great collectible. I gotta tell ya, no one is getting out and exploring the way you do in your videos. You really take the viewer on some incredible adventures. THIS is the way Adventure is done. I instant click when I see an upload. In reality, I'm on my couch in Northern Indiana, but in my mind... I'm adventuring through Canada headed to Alaska. Rock on.
Stoked to have you onboard and on route to Alaska. Let’s find some cool adventures 🤟🏻
I'm also watching from northern (NE) Indiana! Traveling as I do the dishes
@@ksierra4444 Fort Wayne Area? I live in South Bend but work in Angola/Ft Wayne a lot.
@@visciousadventures yes!
I was watching this one - which is obviously the transition between north and south. And there was something subtle that I noticed. While on these adventures you were honing your craft of videography and hosting for us - you seem to have a confidence and ease that I can see. Like you have grown into your own skin in your profession. So I just wanna say I am happy for you. You make the trials and tribulations of adventure look easy. It was interesting seeing you shout out Williams Lake. I grew up in 100 Mile. Cheers!
Now that is a real adventure. Thank you.
Some of those bottles could be worth some money to collectors. A shame humans have always just thrown their garbage into the wilderness and abandoned a lot of machinery to slowly rust away. It might be fun to explore but honestly they should have cleaned up where they lived and worked instead of making it an eyesore.
Looking forward to the next one!
no worries about making us jealous, crab is not even real food. Enjoyed the adventure, look forward to the next one.
I love the place that you show because there is always rivers, lakes or the sea. I love the water. Thank you for sharing and God bless you on your adventures. Take care.
Dude. I just discovered your channel. I bought a vintage GMC Motorhome 2.5 years ago. I've been watching van and RV channels ever since. Finding US or global content is easy. Finding quality Canadian content is not so easy. If all your videos are like this one - fantastic! Liked, subscribed, and notified! Looking fwd to watching your northern adventure. I'm from Ontario and camped every year growing up in the last Carolinian forest in North America. So much US content is dessert and I find it hard to enjoy. The first 60 seconds of this vid I was like "YES! THIS is what I'm looking for!" Fantastic content, you're good on camera, and your editing and music is fantastic. As a musician I appreciate you listing the music you use. Thank you so, so, much. I've yet to be a patreon for any channel, but I may just consider it if the rest of your content is like this. Thanks for this, and congrats on creating quality content.
Bucket list ! Can’t wait for the rest of the trip !
what a beautiful place. so calm and quiet
What a beautiful love story for my back yard. I've camped in Gingolx several times and it's a magical place.
I miss Alaska. Can hardly wait to get back. Looking forward to your upcoming videos.
This explore was amazing. I think that blue glass bottle catches tons of money. Awesome videos!!
I really enjoy your content Keep whippen it!
Great work Dustin! I'm here at 70 mile house and own 60 plus acers that is full of logging gear on the mountain!
If there is one beauty that needs to be seen in life its the Pacific Northwest and all of its wonderous glory!
@@slotvalleyracing Amen! Born, raised, and have lived all my years in Western Washington. Rode my Harley all the way up to Prince Rupert and took the Black Ball ferry to Ketchikan. The more north you go, the more majestic the landscape!
Im depressed and watching your videos give me a feeling of hapiness again. Thank you.
Brother this Adventure is going to be epic 😎
Wow...Just wow. You're home turf is stunning. BC just went to the top of my travel list.
Sooo beautiful..i love nature so much. Wow amazing nature..
Im from british columbia too. Theres so much of bc i never explored. Thank you for taking us on your adventure.
Living in Ocean Falls were considered the happiest years of our friends lives. They were married there in the 1950’s when John worked in the paper mill. They were a generation older than my husband and myself and related stories of life there quite often. It broke their hearts when the town shut down.
Thank you for being so respectful. No bad words because you know that kids can be watching you. Be safe. God bless you. From Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
dustin i think you should be working for the history channel

Total inspiration and a great dedication to just explore this amazing world , stay safe and keep us all inspired with your adventures. Hi from Scotland.
Thanks so much. I haven’t been to Scotland yet, but it’s on the list :)
You are a very talented filmmaker.
The bone you found is scapula. More commonly know as a shoulder blade. I love your content and it truly has inspired me to travel more. Thank you!
Thank you
how exciting a dump site! Homestead, and maybe the pooper! Love the sign.
Beautiful landscape and just wanted to say I love your content. Also your humor is phenomenal!

THANKU FOR ALL YOUR LOVELY VIDEOS& ADVENTURES!& SHAREING YOUR LIFE..LOTS OF LOVE🙂❤✌
I went out West 8 years ago solo on my old Ninja when I was 20 from Ontario.. Went through many towns and cities. Met hundreds of people and saw extremely beautiful things. the Rocky Mountains, Canyons, Glaciers, avalanches, the Northern Lights, the Prairies, Pacific Ocean.
It's always cool when I can tell people I went to Williams Lake before. I got stranded in Dease Lake, BC for 9 days when I had some mechanical failures. It was a gorgeous lake to be stuck at for over a week. My favorite stretch of road will always be Roger's Pass.
Mate, woke up early and noted some notifications on my iPad. Was so happy to see one of yours. Have missed them. Stunning scenery and story…the music is always spot on. The Chief, Lava flow and Drowned Forest were wonderful.
Thank you for sharing this my friend. Really need this right now.
Keep it up and thank you for sharing this beautiful land with us all is such a well crafted way. You have skills, man.
Rob, Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺
Cheers Rob. 🍻
Love all you are finding and showing all of it. Amazing
Another Great one! Keep safe and keep having fun finding cool stuff. I bet there is something important in that bottle you couldnt open. i woulda took it to open it later. GOLD maybe?
Glad you're back in BC. What a wonderful start to your next adventure!
Enjoy your time. So good to see you back in your homeland! Great work.
I'm going on day 118 with no break from work... this was a much needed "break" for me traveling vicariously through you. Thank you!
Welcome home. Bless you for all you do !!
Guess what? I'm jealous even though you didn't make us watch you eat those crabs. They looked delicious!
Such a beautiful touch, great, choice of 🎶 he does.god is Good all the time ,all the time god is Good.
I loved this trip! Amazing. Love your videos! Look forward to more!! ❤️
Great vid, nice to see you back home/BC. Thanks
Great video Dustin. Your editing and blending in the tunes finishes off the videos nicely. Safe Journeys.
