Man. This brings me back to my youth. Doing 350km or more three week trips in the middle of Quebec in an old 85 pound aluminum Grumman Canoe and an old canvas pack. I even had a black lab with a white crest named Ruby along for the ride for company and warmth. Never seen a dog tree more black bears than her. I could almost taste the sand in the tea and feel it in my sleeping bag while watching this. Not to mention that soaked to the bone feeling from paddling for hours in the pouring rain. Very few people know that incredible feeling at the end of the day when you're muscles burst with ache and you crawl into that dry sleeping bag inside the warm tent. Paradise. I was even jealous of those palm blisters in your hand from working the paddle all day long until they hardened like leather baseball gloves after the first week or so. So glad I watched this. Oh to be young again. You're living the good life lad. Enjoy every minute of it.
Hey Justin, I have been so looking forward to this series! I just finished your book and I can't get enough of the adventure. You are the real deal, I can't imagine what surprises lie ahead. I'm already winded from holding my breath on the edge of my seat. You're right on point - that is the real wilderness, no little yellow portage signs in this neck of the woods! BZ & stay safe.
I was anticipating watching this all day, and to no surprise I was not disappointed! I really enjoy your aesthetic and prose. I'm looking forward to the next episode! Thanks brother!
This showed up on my feed, so glad it did. Grew up in Labrador now live in Sweden. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. Watching the older content now too. Excellent!
You will not know what is really leaving in life until you try this living with no gadget. I love watching this kind of video it teaches me what am I missing and wonder ('WHAT IF?)there is no other way of living except this is the only life to survive?
Thanks for tuning in Josephine I agree. Live is simpler out there(wilds). It was what we were made to do. Move and live on the land. Not walking around looking at screens most of the day like zombies. Take care all the best 👍
Sports Tape is what it was and it can support knee, ankle and other muscle/joint problems in a way duct tape can't. I also have half a roll of duct tape
Hello Justin my fellow Canadian wilderness brother, when I watch your videos, I feel the warmth and passion you have for the woods,I'm getting old now and unable to go to the woods anymore. Watching your videos takes me back to my younger years when I was full of "hot piss and vinegar"....thank you soooo much for putting tears in my eyes and a big smile on my face when I watch your videos, may God Bless you my outdoors brother.Thank you for making an old man feel young again.........Cheers!!
Really appreciate that it helps a ton. More than most think. Liking, commenting and watching the whole vid is huge too. Watch it more than once is an even bigger help if you feel the need ; ) Thanks for watching!
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer I discover'd you a while back from a recc by fellow Canadian UA-cam bushcrafter Joe Robinet...BEST advice I ever took-was hooked from day 1...have sent out shares on several of your videos since, and ALWAYS hit that LIKE button!
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer I'm on my second time. I watched the "Across Newfoundland" videos and now i'm back here cuz i forgot what happened. Love your videos !
I live in Labrador I Read the book Lure Of The Labrador Wild. They took the wrong river back then. I always wanted to see what some if these rivers were actually like. Exciting first Episode. Crazy how the water rose up to the tent that night. Looking forward to the next Episode!
I subscribed to your channel about 3 weeks ago and I’ve watched almost every video you’ve posted. I was anxiously awaiting your Labrador adventure. This in my opinion is the best channel on UA-cam, keep up the good work buddy! I really like to live vicariously through you 😁 shoutout to the Newfoundland Explorer from a topper explorer in the U.P. of Michigan. The UP is a beautiful week wilderness but man is Canada a beautiful place. I would love to make it there one day.
So awesome to finally get to see this. Warms my heart to see someone traversing Labrador in the spirit of Low, the Hubbards, Wallace and Cabot. I only wish this were on TV so more people could see the spectacular wilderness that we have in this province.
I too want to see NL Explorer launch his show on TV. Not a reason in the world why Justin could not succeed unless they insist on him changing his format of course. In the past any chance for a Canadian entrepreneur to succeed had no choice but move to the USA.
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer I actually think with so many more people streaming and using social media than watching traditional TV, I think UA-cam is a far better way to get more exposure. It would be great if you could get something on Netflix, Prime Video, or even National Geographic content on Disney+, but traditional television is a dying medium. Keep doing what you're doing buddy. Myself and my 9 year old son watch your videos together.
Beautiful! I’ve only just come across you and your channel Justin - recommended to me by a couple of Newfoundlanders. Absolutely love it - real adventure, true grit (and a fair dosing of sand!) love that dog too! Thanks man.

We are huge fans! Love watching your adventures and learning a few outdoor tips along the way! The views and landscapes you share are epic and my wife and I are planning to trip out way out to NewFoundland in the future to see it for ourselves! Thank u
Very happen to have found your channel. I envy your trip. As a labradorian I Can't wait for the next episode and here's to hoping you take us along on your next adventure.
It’s awesome to see the actual setting of “The Lure of the Labrador Wild”, and to see the land where Leonidas Hubbard, Dillon Wallace, and George Elson made their historic trip.
Incredible first installment of what promises to be an exciting series! I actually got your book for Christmas but I would love a copy for my grandfather. He was born in St. Anthony in 1935 as a British citizen. He'll be 85 this year and sadly, was recently diagnosed with cancer. He hasn't been to Newfoundland in years and it's doubtful that he'll make it back in this life. I think he'd really enjoy your book and I'll certainly be sharing my copy with him. Looking forward to the next video!
Justin... Absolutely incredible. What a journey thus far. Not only are you battling the rivers but those storms were crazy... when I seen you setting up your tent so close to the river I had a gut feeling that that could happen and it did... Can't wait for the next episode... Dennis, Canoehound Adventures
Thanks for your interest Chris! Was on another winter expedition for 32 days. Series will be back up and running next weekend with the remaining 5-6 episodes coming every 10-14 days after. Take care all the best 👍
Brought back a lot of memories of bygone years. In the early seventies I did medical clinics in NW river twice a year, that was the era of cable car crossing the river. Also remover a number of moose hunting trips into granite and Victoria lake, on a road in through Miller town that often did a bad job on our camping equipment. While living on the west coast and northern peninsula my wife and i spent the best part of fifteen years canoeing, salmon fishing and camping in the main brook and rodickton systems. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing your next posting. Dan
I'm seeing a side of Saku that i've apparently not fully noticed until now - he's really matured into a fine, strong adult dog. He seems to be getting around like a real wilderness canine athlete at peak performance; almost a bit wolf-like sometimes! It's obvious that you are taking great care of his nutritional needs.That Inukshuk dog food must be some kickin' stuff. Lovin' the series A LOT!
A true adventurer, nothing but respect to you Justin. As a avid outdoors lover, this just fills my heart with love and happiness. The challenges you must have faced and overcome cannot be understated, its hard world out there and you pushed through every inch of it. Congrats brother, there aren't many people in the history of the world that have seen the beauty you have, that my friend, is the rarest of gifts. Godspeed brother!
Great first video Justin ! What a trip, you really gotta love it, b/c that was some hard work ! Old Saku seems to be enjoying himself too. Beauty trout at the end. Thumbs up from myself and Wendell !
I have been so excited about this series. It is spectacular from episode one. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Your face when you said "we're in the big land now." was everything! Love to Saku.
This is the life....♡ Another great adventure. This is the kind of channel that makes UA-cam. I live vicariously through these series and dream of one day experiencing this level of life. This is what rich means to me. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these, even though its a joy of yours, it still takes a lot of work to not only traverse the land but to document, edit and upload. The hard work doesn't go unnoticed! Many blessings B and Rob from Nova Scotia.
Many Props, (as my husband says, from 1 older man to a younger man). Bless you and Saku. Can't wait for the next one. Sending Love and Blessings to You and Heather and can't forget the pup kiddos. From Kentucky U.S.A.
I remember when I discovered you Justin... It was the 700km trip and I was lucky enough to watch all episodes except one, which I had to wait for, in a row... I remember waiting for the notification with a sense of excitement.... I can see this happening again and again as I wait in suspense for this wonderful adventure! Thanks so much. I gather there is a huge history of Irish involvement in Newfoundland, as the songs and the people, and even your own accent, hints at. Would be wonderful if on one of your upcoming trips that you could describe some of the history (I know you've touched on it somewhat). Anyway, take care. Love from Australia
Hey Nathan. I'm very new to Justin's channel and from comments like yours it seems like he has a great group of subscribers. I would also be interested in hearing what he and his family know about their history in the area. The people of Newfoundland and Labrador are the most kind, warm and giving people on the planet. generous people you could ever have the good fortune to meet.
Episode 1 was even better than I expected!! Can’t wait for the next one. My heart rate jumped a few times especially when saku ends up going down river those couple times 😂. Awesome job Justin... I would choose your videos over any tv show out there 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Literally just found this an hour ago. A simply amazing video. I liked, shared and subscribed. Now I'm off to binge watch the other videos. Gonna be a long night. No regrets.
Justin, fricken amazing brother. Watching that bank erode and the rain as well as the river flow after was crazy. Saku is also amazing to have on the trip. MSR Hubba Hubba one year saved us, a storm rolled in and water around the tub was 6" and we stayed dry in the tent.At 32:41 that drop in the water is all too familiar when lining, and its, dont let go of the canoe....that canoe as well is trooper Justin....looking forward to the rest of the trip.....Fred ,Thunder Bay,Ontario
Love it! I have 1 question? Are you naming the routes your taking? You should! Many routes were named by explorers! I suggest the Saku trail! Keep it going!
Man oh man... right out of the gate you have us enthralled! Saku is like the jackrabbit in the shallow waters! Awesome start to the series, can’t wait for the next episode. Deadly stuff!
What a fantastic series! You've done it again. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed watching this. The journey itself has got to be incredibly difficult and on top of that you're filming with multiple cameras and watching out for the incredible Saku. Even though I know you finished the journey some time ago, I'm still on the edge of my seat wondering if you two are going to be ok. That's incredible story telling. Great job!
I"m so glad the adventure has finally begun! We sure got a good laugh when you went digging for gold up your nose, but all you found was sand! The terrain looks very rugged and beautiful. Can't wait to see more!
Totally awesome first episode! Had me on the edge of my seat. That one night when your tent was flooded, I had a bad feeling about that when I saw where you pitched it first with all that rain coming, I was worried river rise and would get too close. I was shocked a few minute later to see it had happened. Glad you were safe. Cheers!
Funny, as I was watching you set up the tent after the first storm, I was saying out loud, "don't pitch that camp so close to the river, cos it'll rise for sure.......and voila'.... I've been caught like that before. the narrower the river, the more it rises in a storm. Bon voyage buddy.
@@magnussandstrom3874 first spot was on a lake so water wouldn't rise there the same way. Trackless thick woods along these waterways, not an easy to find a good spot after 10 + hours of solo travel! Thanks for watching.
A grand start my friend. Funny thing. I live in a big river area. And when it was pouring down I though "he`ll be lucky if he aint got his toes in the water come morning" Ha sure enough. LOL. I`d like to ask why you choose to start down river. But then again, where would be the adventure in making it easy eh?
If you plan on travelling a long distance in a canoe the old way eventually you have to go up a river to go done the next. May as well start that way. Thanks for watching Craig!
Another awesome show Justin, very well done. These shows you produce should be on TV. Better than most of the shows on tv that I see. Can’t wait to see next part. Cheers
Damn!! When you were filming in the tent at night during that second storm along the river..I said outloud..I wonder if he is worrying about that river coming up in a flood!! Holy crap dodged a bullet for sure bud!!
Although the money would be good for Justin I think most of those TV shows are too fake. They spend days waiting to get a so called great shot or waiting for the right weather to get a drone up. They also create artificial scenarios to make story and misrepresent those stories with editing and narratives. I think he does a fantastic job on his own...you know it real this way and he isn't staying in hotels overnight with a camera crew.
So glad to see you off on another adventure! You and Saku hooked me with the Newfoundland expedition - can't wait to see what you guys encounter on this one!
Yes they call me when they want peanuts one year we had a family raised in our tree we can look out from the upstairs window to see the young ones calling each other lol
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer I think this comment was made for blue Jay's... Not your video?... Your video was awesome can't wait to see more... We live in northern Ontario by Algonquin Park
Thanks Curtis! Was on another winter expedition for 32 days. Series will be back up and running next weekend with the remaining 5-6 episodes coming every 10-14 days after. Take care all the best 👍
Justin, thanks for your channel sir, and for sharing your adventures. You have the best outdoor channel out there. My favorite due to your unflappable and positive attitude. No one has put in the Kilometers, blood and sweat like you have. I Love it! Keep up the good work my virtual friend!!
Been waiting to watch this Justin. I'm halfway through and I am amazed! I would be scared s***less!! I can't believe how calm Saku is. You two make a good pair...now back to watching. What a great way to spend my Friday night!! Thank you!!
I, like many others, have been patiently waiting for this series and with just the first episode, you certainly delivered. I love the outdoors but could never envision doing a trip such as this. That's what makes it so great to be able to tag along with you and Saku. Why you do not have 4 times the subscribers is amazing to me. Well done and thanks. Cannot wait for the next one. All the best....
Thanks for the interest Cliff. Was on another winter expedition for 32 days. Series will be back up and running next weekend with the remaining 5-6 episodes coming every 10-14 days after. Take care all the best 👍

Man. This brings me back to my youth. Doing 350km or more three week trips in the middle of Quebec in an old 85 pound aluminum Grumman Canoe and an old canvas pack. I even had a black lab with a white crest named Ruby along for the ride for company and warmth. Never seen a dog tree more black bears than her. I could almost taste the sand in the tea and feel it in my sleeping bag while watching this. Not to mention that soaked to the bone feeling from paddling for hours in the pouring rain. Very few people know that incredible feeling at the end of the day when you're muscles burst with ache and you crawl into that dry sleeping bag inside the warm tent. Paradise. I was even jealous of those palm blisters in your hand from working the paddle all day long until they hardened like leather baseball gloves after the first week or so. So glad I watched this. Oh to be young again. You're living the good life lad. Enjoy every minute of it.
Great video, awesome companion is Saku in any conditions. Thanks for the knowledge and adventure👌😇Cheers from NYC🗽🇺🇸

Would be wonderful if on one of your upcoming trips that you could describe some of the history (I know you've touched on it somewhat).
Anyway, take care.

Hey Nathan. I'm very new to Justin's channel and from comments like yours it seems like he has a great group of subscribers. I would also be interested in hearing what he and his family know about their history in the area. The people of Newfoundland and Labrador are the most kind, warm and giving people on the planet.
generous people you could ever have the good fortune to meet.
Looks like a great trip! Young man, you are living life! Good on you!
Can't wait for the next episode. Loved your Newfoundland adventure as well. Greetings from South Africa.
Thanks Zin really appreciate it : )
Episode 1 was even better than I expected!! Can’t wait for the next one. My heart rate jumped a few times especially when saku ends up going down river those couple times 😂. Awesome job Justin... I would choose your videos over any tv show out there 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Literally just found this an hour ago. A simply amazing video. I liked, shared and subscribed. Now I'm off to binge watch the other videos. Gonna be a long night. No regrets.
Happy to have ya! 🍻
Man you are a beast. Nothing but respect to you and Saku. I love your videos and would love a copy of your book. Best of luck on your next big voyage!
Justin, fricken amazing brother. Watching that bank erode and the rain as well as the river flow after was crazy. Saku is also amazing to have on the trip. MSR Hubba Hubba one year saved us, a storm rolled in and water around the tub was 6" and we stayed dry in the tent.At 32:41 that drop in the water is all too familiar when lining, and its, dont let go of the canoe....that canoe as well is trooper Justin....looking forward to the rest of the trip.....Fred ,Thunder Bay,Ontario
Looks to be a great series, can't wait for the next episode!
Ps: What happened to your tooth that first night? It's there at 7:45 and gone at 11:35?
Frode Stock I know right? I thought I was the only one wondering what happened there.
He's got a removable fake tooth. It's back at 36:14
He got into a fight at the local bar but you should see the other guy he's got no teeth....Lol
He lost it years ago playing hockey haha. I know because i played against him and with him over the years. ;)
@@timsullivan9160 hahaha hope all is well Sully
Love it! I have 1 question? Are you naming the routes your taking? You should! Many routes were named by explorers! I suggest the Saku trail!
Keep it going!
Nope just moving forward and taking it all in. The land needs no names she speaks and represents herself. Thanks for watching take care all the best
Man oh man... right out of the gate you have us enthralled! Saku is like the jackrabbit in the shallow waters! Awesome start to the series, can’t wait for the next episode. Deadly stuff!
What a fantastic series! You've done it again. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed watching this. The journey itself has got to be incredibly difficult and on top of that you're filming with multiple cameras and watching out for the incredible Saku. Even though I know you finished the journey some time ago, I'm still on the edge of my seat wondering if you two are going to be ok. That's incredible story telling. Great job!
Thanks for tuning in Aaron all in a days work. Take care all the best buddy 🚣♀️
Rad man! What an awesome trip. Lab's been on the bucket list for far too long. Looking forward to the remainder.
Awesome video, per usual. Keep doing what you’re doing! The drone addition is a very nice touch. Go Bruins! Haha
I"m so glad the adventure has finally begun!
We sure got a good laugh when you went digging for gold up your nose, but all you found was sand!
The terrain looks very rugged and beautiful. Can't wait to see more!
hahaha thanks for watching
Totally awesome first episode! Had me on the edge of my seat. That one night when your tent was flooded, I had a bad feeling about that when I saw where you pitched it first with all that rain coming, I was worried river rise and would get too close. I was shocked a few minute later to see it had happened. Glad you were safe. Cheers!
Best damm show/series to watch in Canada or any were THANKS !!!!!!!
Really appreciate that comment glad to have you
What a great adventure! Looking forward to follow you!! Greetings from Norway.
Funny, as I was watching you set up the tent after the first storm, I was saying out loud, "don't pitch that camp so close to the river, cos it'll rise for sure.......and voila'.... I've been caught like that before. the narrower the river, the more it rises in a storm. Bon voyage buddy.
Same, on both two first tent spots. 😬
@@magnussandstrom3874 first spot was on a lake so water wouldn't rise there the same way. Trackless thick woods along these waterways, not an easy to find a good spot after 10 + hours of solo travel! Thanks for watching.
Loved the first episode and can't wait for the next one!
A grand start my friend. Funny thing. I live in a big river area. And when it was pouring down I though "he`ll be lucky if he aint got his toes in the water come morning" Ha sure enough. LOL. I`d like to ask why you choose to start down river. But then again, where would be the adventure in making it easy eh?
If you plan on travelling a long distance in a canoe the old way eventually you have to go up a river to go done the next. May as well start that way. Thanks for watching Craig!
Another awesome show Justin, very well done. These shows you produce should be on TV. Better than most of the shows on tv that I see. Can’t wait to see next part. Cheers
I absolutely loved episode 1 and I know I will do the same for all of them. You are my my all-time fav on utube. And that’s the truth!!!
Thanks so much Julie!! Spread the seed. Happy to have you! : )
Damn!! When you were filming in the tent at night during that second storm along the river..I said outloud..I wonder if he is worrying about that river coming up in a flood!! Holy crap dodged a bullet for sure bud!!
Craig Rock same , I was worried about how near the tent was to the river , he got lucky for sure
Another great video Justin! Awesome footage and scenery. Waiting patiently for the next one!
Episode 1 did not disappoint, loved it. Saku is a machine, gorgeous spec.
Thank you for sharing your adventures Justin. I'm still binge watching your videos and enjoying them all !! 😍🐾👍
Would like to see one of the major networks picked us up and send a camera crew with you same trip awesome stuff
Although the money would be good for Justin I think most of those TV shows are too fake. They spend days waiting to get a so called great shot or waiting for the right weather to get a drone up. They also create artificial scenarios to make story and misrepresent those stories with editing and narratives. I think he does a fantastic job on his own...you know it real this way and he isn't staying in hotels overnight with a camera crew.
Awesome episode. Love your choice of soundtracks. Looking forward to the next one. 🍺
11:00 But dad, there's a stick in the water!
No No No!!!! lol
All can say is awesome! I was there with you in spirit at least and I can relate to your journey.
I've been counting down the days for this! Very excited - thank you J and S! Any plans for a second book (or third if we're being accurate)? Cheers!
Second book on this expedition is in the works. Thanks for asking and watching Thomas 👊🚣♀️
Thanks for posting this, Justin. It reminds me of doing my (much shorter) canoe camoing trips as a young man.
So glad to see you off on another adventure! You and Saku hooked me with the Newfoundland expedition - can't wait to see what you guys encounter on this one!
Thanks happy to have you along for the journey 🚣♀️
Yes they call me when they want peanuts one year we had a family raised in our tree we can look out from the upstairs window to see the young ones calling each other lol
?
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer I think this comment was made for blue Jay's... Not your video?...
Your video was awesome can't wait to see more... We live in northern Ontario by Algonquin Park
Great first episode! Nice lead into the fun yet to come! Thanks for sharing this adventure Justin! Cheers
Im kind of worried about you bro!! been a month!
Thanks Curtis! Was on another winter expedition for 32 days. Series will be back up and running next weekend with the remaining 5-6 episodes coming every 10-14 days after. Take care all the best 👍
We have been anxiously waiting to see your Labrador series. We love your videos.
I've been waiting for this! Doing it tough man, nothing like the sound of rain on the tent with a warm mug in your hand though...
Can't beat it thanks for watching Ben 👍
Justin, thanks for your channel sir, and for sharing your adventures. You have the best outdoor channel out there. My favorite due to your unflappable and positive attitude. No one has put in the Kilometers, blood and sweat like you have. I Love it! Keep up the good work my virtual friend!!
That was a very exciting beginning! At times I felt nervous, even though I know you made it back alive. Hahaha Nice trout reward at the end.
Thanks
Thanks Roy happy to have you along for the journey 🚣♀️
Outstanding! We absolutely loved it and can't wait for the next one. Not many could paddle up that kind of current. Amazing trip so far.
Been waiting to watch this Justin. I'm halfway through and I am amazed! I would be scared s***less!! I can't believe how calm Saku is. You two make a good pair...now back to watching. What a great way to spend my Friday night!! Thank you!!
Thanks Cathy, nothing to it. Happy to have you along for the journey 🚣♀️ : )
I, like many others, have been patiently waiting for this series and with just the first episode, you certainly delivered. I love the outdoors but could never envision doing a trip such as this. That's what makes it so great to be able to tag along with you and Saku. Why you do not have 4 times the subscribers is amazing to me. Well done and thanks. Cannot wait for the next one. All the best....
Thanks for the comment Terry we're happy to have you along and give you the experience. The subs will come 👍Catch you in the next one
Amazing! I’m so happy this series is out.
Everything I expected and more. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks for all your efforts. God bless.
When can we expect episode 2, I can't wait!!
Thanks for the interest Cliff. Was on another winter expedition for 32 days. Series will be back up and running next weekend with the remaining 5-6 episodes coming every 10-14 days after. Take care all the best 👍
Excellent! Can't wait for the next episode. Thanks! Saku-what a companion!
