Michael, it was a good video. I think you did focus more on the food and beverages of Squamish than anything. No, I did not think it was too fast-paced. Enjoyed the cameos of your videographer. Your mind goes 90 to nothing at all times, and I think that is why I enjoy your videos; they are never dull. THUMBS UP!!!
I went to Squamish high school in 1950-51, seventh grade. Lived in Britannia Beach, nine mile bussing each way. Dirt road then, used to ride our bikes on weekends to Squamish or take the bus for $1.00. Moved in 1951 to Arizona. Road and railroad came after we left. Prior to road and RR steamship was only way in . Liked living there, very isolated but lots to do.
Some other suggestions for Squamish. Backcountry brewing for some awesome beer and pizza. The spit to see wildlife and get a full view of the entire valley and sound. The river path around brackendale for the massive amount of eagles. And sunny chibas for chicken!
And the place to watch the playoffs is the Shady Tree Pub in the "new" Downtown area... I usually stick to old Downtown but if a canadian team is in the finals, i'll take the bus there!
Good job. I like the vibe change. The edits are clean. Now, I wouldn’t make this for every video, but again that’s just me. Once in awhile to change things up, this flow is good. Great job. I love The Squam too❤️👊🏻❤️
I agree. Once in awhile. This pace particularly suits a city such as Squamish that isn't really on the radar for much except (as Pearl L says above) a pit stop on the way to Whistler. But I'd also like to see the how to best chillax there version--maybe just do the 24-hours in slow motion over a long weekend.
The first thing I thought was “OMG let’s go!” As for pace: the speed makes me feel like Squamish is more vibrant than I give it credit for. It’s more than a pitstop to Whistler, I see! But question: does Squamish do only one speed? Can one chill in Squamish?
That donut looked delicious! I love how you are showcasing some small businesses in this video. I never heard of Squamish, but now I think it seems like a cool place.
Editing and pacing in this one is on point! I lived in Whistler for a couple of years but never spent much time in Squamish. Definitely need to get back.
Ditto from all of the earlier comments! Another excellent entry from beautiful BC. The only things missing were either your sister, your girlfriend or your parents...haha. No, really, great tempo, great soundtrack, great variety of stops and the usual humorous/cheeky dialogue. You often remind me of my fraternity days in college! Thanks for another very entertaining video!
@@DownieLive I'm now retired from AA, discovered your channel while you were touring Scotland/Ireland. Feeling just a bit anxious now not traveling or even going to the gym. Your pandemic videos have really provided some great (comic) relief! Looking forward to more trips back up to the Pacific northwest and Canada! Best wishes sir...
Thanks so much, Larry. As cases begin to rise in Canada again, I’m feeling more anxious now, but luckily I have a backlog of footage to edit into videos, so I’ll be staying in for the next while. Stay safe and thanks for the kind message.
Hopefully the US/Canada border will reopen soon because I got check Squamish out. Just two hours away from my hometown of Bellingham. Another awesome video, Mike!
Wow . Ive been to squamish but didnt know they had so much . Definitely going back to explore more carefully and longer. That was an awesome video, keep up the great job !!
Ahhhhhhh.......my beautiful hometown of Squamish.....xoxo many changes and now well known and a popular destination spot. It's beauty is unprecedented....I hope to return someday and groom dogs out of a van (or bus) :) that will also be my home......one can dream :P lol :P
Definitely lots of stuff in a short video. What is this thing about “pink?” Of course I am sure you will receive criticism or comments about not wearing a mask. Masks have questionable effectiveness. Of course why would ice cream be compostable? Strange! Yet another good video.
It’s the way you say 🥐 for me 😉 💯 the lil camera angles where with the mirror is 🔥 overall it’s very creative and engaging for me and funny and cheeky ( side note ... isn’t this the same place where you got that Airbnb with the outside shower )
Great job Mike!! I know they have filmed several movies in Squamish. I would love to visit someday. Keep up the great work. Definitely inspire me to make better videos for my channel.
I love Squamish. I'll be back in September! And omg! At 2:19 my channel sticker is still there lol 💜💜💜 Was surprised you didn't feature the Zephyr! Food is so good there. The Mountain Burger Housr is great for hearing old timers tell stories and get breakfast. I like the thrift stores on Cleveland avenue. The little Christian(?) one i think it's called St.Joseph's has great stuff for very cheap. I bought my wedding dress & my man's suit at Pearl's. Interesting to see how they revamped the Chieftain Hotel. There is a great morrocan cafe on 2nd Avenue the Saha Cafe. Also the library has a seed library and interesting art inside. They have a lot of manga and an impressive biography section AND your Vancouver Public Library card works there and you can return the book at either locations. 👍
The capital of Canada...Follow everywhere I go...Top of all the mountains or valley low...Everything you want in gold...I'll be the magic story you've been told...Just let me in...💖
Downtown is just the start. Food: Samurai Sushi, two locations, near Nesters downtown or near London Drugs in Garibaldi. Lil Chef Cafe behind independent grocer. Timberwolf in the Mountain Retreat Inn. There are so many more. Shopping: Pearls, a thrift shop funding Helping Hands. The two health food stores, Health Food Heaven near Nesters and Euphoria Health near Canadian Tire. Farmers Market on Saturday in the summer next to Copper Coil. Entertainment: Squamish Rafting Company. Sea To Sky Gondola, yes the one that made the news, twice (bring your own snacks, the restaurants are expensive, but still at least buy a drink at the top and thank the server for being there, then go for a hike. check ahead for events, like live music). The Hairfarmers, the band of all bands, they usually play in Whistler but if they are playing in Squishy (thats what I call it, the town) then go watch and give them money to play your request song. Brackendale Art Gallery. Railway Heritage Museum. Squamish Days Loggers Festival. Squamish Wind Festival. Always check listings and websites before attending. Otherwise, chill, sit back and people watch, this town is funny when all the city folk visit and just fly by to go to Whistler. I have had more celebrity sightings here then when I went to LA. And remember, the locals like this town the way it is, or was. Now I have to find Downie.
Thank you so much for this beautiful tour of downtown Squamish 👍. I haven’t been there for a few years but my favorite restaurant that I’ve been to is Fergie’s ❤️. But I would love to try out many of the places that you have shown 😊.
Once Covid is finally over, we plan on travelling to North America again, maybe take in Squamish, it does look very nice! Thanks for the video. Oh, by the way, why do you want us to know about your favourite underwear? ?
Michael, I thought the pace was perfect. You had a lot that you wanted to show in a limited amount of time. Yet another place that I would love to visit on my Canadian tour when we are free to do so again.
Another cool place, Mike. Again, the scenery is just gorgeous. That looks like a cool place to visit and I loved the unique hotel. Question: Are you avoiding haircuts because of the pandemic? You look so much more handsome when your hair has a nice trim.
Terrific presentation as always Mike! Can’t wait to travel up to B.C. Once it’s safe again but sadly, fall is here and as a recently retired Pediatrician, I can predict it’s going to spike in the coming months 🤔. Good to see the rainbow flags and know that Squamish is open and welcoming 👍🏻. Best regards to you and the family 😉
Mike ... ideally, I’d like to purchase a 3bed/3 bath condo West End Vancouver along the quay to use May-October to get out of the oppressive heat and then have the same here in the lower 48 for October-May. 👍🏻
Hey Mike - great video. ツ I’m a bit late in comments on this one. First off, I gotta say - this is exceptionally professional! This is something you’d see on a plane that is trying to advertise local villages around your main destination stay (I’m thinking of sunwing vacations that sell you additional outings). Great use of editing (sometimes the fast cut editing can be dizzying - i.e. bar mixing - prep). Excellent segues, both editing and scripting. I definitely enjoyed the “breaking the fourth wall” you’ve incorporated into the video. And - I noticed you used little sound effects - I wasn’t much aware of them being used in the past, but they were definitely prominent in this video. Your skills are certainly evolving! This video is something you can put into your portfolio if you’re thinking of selling destination ads.
Been waiting for this video ever since I saw your "if you've got baggage, this is the room for you" IG story a little while back! Howe Sound Brewing is my favourite place to stop at after a hike up to Garibaldi Lake! Loved the video, will have to go back and explore more!!
This one was fascinating Mike. Do you have any more of other locations around Canada. Good possible series? 24 hours in... Loved that you showed the Crash Hotel, all of the delicious food stores and cafe's, gift stores, graphics stores, home decor/plant stores, & community garden (my favourite).
Nicely energetically done. Lots more dtn. ... insider tip: Pearl's Value & Vintage!! Heart and Soul of shopping adventure in Squamish. Not just the legit Magic Kingdom of finds in Squamish, but because they quietly support women & children in need, along with many other base level causes / needs, all the funky. caring donations are dropped off there. The variety & way it is run (including volunteer effort) reflects the soul of Squamish. If you are a thrift adventurer ... Pearl's is heaven. Open eyed kids can find spirit of discovery in Pearl's. With an open mind you can have fun in Squamish.
Great video. Love the pace and the enthusiasm. You have a brought a new perspective for lots of locals who would not have considered Squamish as a place to visit for a break. Thank you for your great videos.
Wow. Thank you for this video. I am wanting to move to BC from MB. I want to follow my dreams and move while my children are still small. Does Squamish have affordable housing? Or any housing initiatives for low income people?
I moved away from Squamish a year ago, and am seriously Squamish-sick right now. Was so nice to see this video filled with my old haunts, and 3 (!) of my former workplaces. Love the town but gosh is it expensive.
Also one of my favorite spots in Canada! Much better than Whistler, imho! The only spot I'd say you missed is the Squamish Native Art Store, I got a piece from there last time I went and I adore it, so I felt like shouting them out! There's stuff for every budget, and it's more meaningful than regular tourist junk, encouraging local artists and keeping the culture alive!
Love the video! The pace in my opinion was good. Fantastic focus on just the downtown area and great focus on local businesses instead of the obvious. One thing I would add for people who are not familiar with the local and regional geography, how do you get to Squamish? Other than that, LOVE IT!
What does anything shown in this video have to do with adventure? I want to see the scenery and wildlife when clicking on an adventure video. Maybe add in at least a drone view next time...
Lol, thanks John. There are plenty of drone shots in this. This video was not wildlife and adventure related, but more of a guide to the town of Squamish. I have plenty of other adventure videos to watch.
This was filmed before masks were mandated. Back when they were somewhat recommended but not everywhere. Things have changed a lot since then and I’m full mask now.
I lived in Squamish for 13years, never got the chance to actually visit these places. I will now have to make visiting Squamish a trip of mine and try some of the places I never got to do! Thanks!
What a beautiful space but I am afraid that it is crowded there during the holiday season, isn't it? The shops are looking great and the surrounding.... amazing
No, surprisingly not. Squamish is between Vancouver and Whistler and is usually much quieter than either of those cities, which is why I find it to be underrated.
@@DownieLive then it deserves it to be explored but not from a mass of tourists. More what we called soft tourism. I hate it when I see when tourists visit a place and let their rubbish there like ever they want even when there are trash bins for the rubbish. At the sea it happens often that they leave their cigarettes on the sand or used nappies from their children's. It is unbelievable. Why they don't take a bag put it in there and remove it when they leave the beach. Or at the side of the motorway there are so many bags of a fast food company. It makes me so sad and angry about this behaviour. So I hippie the tourists won't destroy this nice place there
Because we saw this we are planning a staycation to squamish this weekend never thought to stop by but hubby the kids and i need to get away and not cash out too much... can you make a video of Abbotsford please 🙏🏼🥰
51 seconds in... pauses. Coffee from all around the world? Do they have Mandheling, Bali, or Aceh blends? And did they dare adding Kopi Luwak to their assortments? 😂 Okay, pouring my coffee now and continuing to watch! 😁
*Mike trips up the stairs* Was it just the one cocktail Mike? They did look pretty good!! LOL. Squamish rocks. Do you guys not have to wear masks anymore? Lucky things!! :)
well I live in squamish..... other than these spots it has famouse kiteboarding spot by downtown, bald eagle watching in brakendale, mighty chief, adventure inn hostel, sea to sky gandola, watching bear fishing on mamquam river, watershedd grill from neflix show virgin river and a lot more.
I had to stop watching you give this tour, nice as Squamish appears. Where was your mask? You were close enough to other people to warrant wearing a mask.
Looks like such a calming place. Yummy food video!! I really miss restaurants and this is also from being a cooped up parent even before the pandemic (parent of multiples) so this hits the spot!
I’m trying to reduce the amount of meat I eat, but I’m not fully vegan. As you could see at the Copper Coil and Grill, I ate a brisket poutine for dinner.
It is fast-paced, but totally works for this video. These are highlights of YOUR favorite spots, and you did say that there is more to see, so I think this is perfect.
Mike. What a beautiful town and absolutely love the hotel (unique decor).The Pacific Northwest is so beautiful and although I've never been to this town, it's name sounds familiar for it has the squa , qua, and ish that is in so many town names in the whole region. I really enjoy you and your videos. They always perk me up. Thanks
OMG Mike great job, one of my favorite videos from you ever!!! What a great place to explore and capture, I'm definitely checking out the donut shop next time I'm in Squamish :)
You should be hired to promote tourism‼️👍👍
I thought he was
i think he was hired lol
Holy Guacamole, that's a LOT of stuff crammed into one video, you've set the bar very high Mike for your next video!!
Your enthusiasm is very contagious Mike. Love your video's. Keep em coming.
Thanks, will do!

Iv lived in Squamish for 18 years. I still live here. Really don't want to leave. Love the town and the people in it.
This was epic my man!
Thanks Jack! I appreciate that.
Jack I watch your videos
jack i see your comment under every good youtuber vid. you have nice taste. love ur videos btw
i guess it's quite off topic but does anybody know a good site to watch new movies online ?
@Allen Gustavo Try flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

DownieLive ooh Squamish Livestream!!!!!
That’s actually one of the best edits I’ve seen here!!! Love it!
Thanks Carolina!
That donut looked delicious! I love how you are showcasing some small businesses in this video. I never heard of Squamish, but now I think it seems like a cool place.
It's so good! Right in between Vancouver and Whistler. Definitely worth a visit.

Yes, when it reopens, come on up!
Hopefully it stays closed
You missed one... The Sea to sky gondola... when it’s working😭
When the cables haven’t been cut by criminals.
Soon to be the overpriced condo capital
Wow . Ive been to squamish but didnt know they had so much .
Definitely going back to explore more carefully and longer.
That was an awesome video, keep up the great job !!
Thanks Shawn! Yes, you need to go back, and explore it a little bit more.

So Squamish is not just a Motorcycle stop or hangout stop? :D
Exactly.
Great job Mike!! I know they have filmed several movies in Squamish. I would love to visit someday. Keep up the great work. Definitely inspire me to make better videos for my channel.
Wth! Best promo of my fav town.
OMG I'll probably move to Squamish next year and you just made me feel so excited :)
I love Squamish. I'll be back in September! And omg! At 2:19 my channel sticker is still there lol 💜💜💜 Was surprised you didn't feature the Zephyr! Food is so good there. The Mountain Burger Housr is great for hearing old timers tell stories and get breakfast. I like the thrift stores on Cleveland avenue.

A Satisfying Smile..Perhaps...😊😊😊👌
wow , the town looks very clean

Great publicity for Squamish. It’s a place on my list to visit, thanks to Mike!
Right on, Jeremy! Come visit!
That brewpub produces Imperial Licorice Stout. At 10%, it is sipping material.
Looking forward to see Squamish next month! Thanks for the video Mike!
Michael, I thought the pace was perfect. You had a lot that you wanted to show in a limited amount of time. Yet another place that I would love to visit on my Canadian tour when we are free to do so again.
Ron, perfect. Thanks. And you should definitely visit Squamish when you can!
If you sampled all those goodies in one afternoon, how was your stomach feeling when finished? 😀
Another cool place, Mike. Again, the scenery is just gorgeous. That looks like a cool place to visit and I loved the unique hotel.
Question: Are you avoiding haircuts because of the pandemic? You look so much more handsome when your hair has a nice trim.
Glad you enjoyed it. And yes, I definitely need to figure out something with my hair. Hahaha.
@@DownieLive I'm jealous of your thick hair! LOL!
Hahahaha. Thank you!
My mom and sister lives in Squamish, and they say you've nailed it! Plus those edits.. neat!!
Terrific presentation as always Mike! Can’t wait to travel up to B.C. Once it’s safe again but sadly, fall is here and as a recently retired Pediatrician, I can predict it’s going to spike in the coming months 🤔. Good to see the rainbow flags and know that Squamish is open and welcoming 👍🏻. Best regards to you and the family 😉
Absolutely it’s welcoming. Thanks Rob. Stay safe and we’ll see you up here when we can.
Mike ... ideally, I’d like to purchase a 3bed/3 bath condo West End Vancouver along the quay to use May-October to get out of the oppressive heat and then have the same here in the lower 48 for October-May. 👍🏻
That sounds ideal!
You never mentioned drink prices etc. Or prices in general which is quite important to most tourists.
Aaah, Mike.. thanks for taking me on a trip and helping me forget this office for a while !!
Any time, Tinus! It's my pleasure! Next video escape for you comes out this Saturday!

Thanks so much for the feedback.

Love that! So much more to explore than I originally thought. I love Squamish.
Unreal editing and production, hat tip, sir! 🎩

Your videos are absolutely amazing. Too bad I can only enjoy it once
Wow! I’ve never been to Squamish but now I think I’ve got to go there.
How much weight did you gain in the process of recording this video? 😅

Thanks Karim!
I mean this is a love letter to Squamish. It also shows what an incredibly talented host and editor Mike is.
1 big commercial! what happened to the outdoors?
Whew Mike. Who knew there is so much to experience in Squamish! Can’t wait to visit.
Wow. Thank you for this video. I am wanting to move to BC from MB. I want to follow my dreams and move while my children are still small. Does Squamish have affordable housing? Or any housing initiatives for low income people?
I think you'd be best to email the City of Squamish for more information.
I moved away from Squamish a year ago, and am seriously Squamish-sick right now. Was so nice to see this video filled with my old haunts, and 3 (!) of my former workplaces. Love the town but gosh is it expensive.
I will definitely be using this video as a tour of my Squamish life for my long distance friends that never got a chance to visit
Also one of my favorite spots in Canada! Much better than Whistler, imho! The only spot I'd say you missed is the Squamish Native Art Store, I got a piece from there last time I went and I adore it, so I felt like shouting them out!

Why aren’t you wearing a mask? That’s not cool!
Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada, not adventure.
Love the video! The pace in my opinion was good. Fantastic focus on just the downtown area and great focus on local businesses instead of the obvious. One thing I would add for people who are not familiar with the local and regional geography, how do you get to Squamish? Other than that, LOVE IT!
Ahhhhhhh. Yes, good call.
Thanks Chris.
Great video, I really want to visit now aahh those views!
What does anything shown in this video have to do with adventure? I want to see the scenery and wildlife when clicking on an adventure video. Maybe add in at least a drone view next time...
Lol, thanks John. There are plenty of drone shots in this.
This video was not wildlife and adventure related, but more of a guide to the town of Squamish.
I have plenty of other adventure videos to watch.
Great VDO ......Thank so MUCH !!!!
I’m pretty sure I know all of those places
Really like your content but wear a mask man, lost my sub. If I see you with a mask again you'll get it back!
This was filmed before masks were mandated. Back when they were somewhat recommended but not everywhere. Things have changed a lot since then and I’m full mask now.
What a treat....you are very creative....thanks!
I lived in Squamish for 13years, never got the chance to actually visit these places. I will now have to make visiting Squamish a trip of mine and try some of the places I never got to do! Thanks!

@@DownieLive then it deserves it to be explored but not from a mass of tourists. More what we called soft tourism. I hate it when I see when tourists visit a place and let their rubbish there like ever they want even when there are trash bins for the rubbish. At the sea it happens often that they leave their cigarettes on the sand or used nappies from their children's. It is unbelievable. Why they don't take a bag put it in there and remove it when they leave the beach. Or at the side of the motorway there are so many bags of a fast food company. It makes me so sad and angry about this behaviour. So I hippie the tourists won't destroy this nice place there
Because we saw this we are planning a staycation to squamish this weekend never thought to stop by but hubby the kids and i need to get away and not cash out too much... can you make a video of Abbotsford please 🙏🏼🥰
That is awesome! Have a good time! Abbotsford, eh? I'll add it to the list. Make sure to try the donuts at the Sunflower Bakery!
@@DownieLive oh for sure.. i did a list of must go to's (99% of the ones you've recomended has been noted) well be staying at Crash as well 🥰
51 seconds in... pauses. Coffee from all around the world? Do they have Mandheling, Bali, or Aceh blends? And did they dare adding Kopi Luwak to their assortments? 😂
Okay, pouring my coffee now and continuing to watch! 😁
I love it i love it i love it 🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
*Mike trips up the stairs* Was it just the one cocktail Mike? They did look pretty good!! LOL. Squamish rocks. Do you guys not have to wear masks anymore? Lucky things!! :)
well I live in squamish..... other than these spots it has famouse kiteboarding spot by downtown, bald eagle watching in brakendale, mighty chief, adventure inn hostel, sea to sky gandola, watching bear fishing on mamquam river, watershedd grill from neflix show virgin river and a lot more.
How did I miss this video. It's pure fun and entertainment!
One word...magical. the video was visionary. You took me out of my unemployed funk
Nice! My brother in law lives in Spokane.. hope to one day see that part of the states
0:45 thought that was a statue lol
Were there no kitesurfers!?!
I had to stop watching you give this tour, nice as Squamish appears. Where was your mask? You were close enough to other people to warrant wearing a mask.
Can u do vids in Burnaby too
Looks like such a calming place. Yummy food video!! I really miss restaurants and this is also from being a cooped up parent even before the pandemic (parent of multiples) so this hits the spot!
Excellent! I will definitely visit this town someday. Really enjoy your videos. You are very talented.
Great video! Thank's a lot Mike, now I need to bump a location off my bucket list so I can add Squamish.
The edit on this is great.
Dude...when did you start eating vegan??
I’m trying to reduce the amount of meat I eat, but I’m not fully vegan.
As you could see at the Copper Coil and Grill, I ate a brisket poutine for dinner.
Nice video Mike. We've been to Squamish twice before but never really explored the downtown area. Next time we probably will after watching this.
Yes!
It is fast-paced, but totally works for this video. These are highlights of YOUR favorite spots, and you did say that there is more to see, so I think this is perfect.
Awesome, thank you!
Squamish appears to be a great deal if fun. Its amazing the foods and drink opportunities.
great job bro wonna go!
Good evening ,have you ever been to Whistler?

Mike. What a beautiful town and absolutely love the hotel (unique decor).The Pacific Northwest is so beautiful and although I've never been to this town, it's name sounds familiar for it has the squa , qua, and ish that is in so many town names in the whole region. I really enjoy you and your videos. They always perk me up. Thanks
OMG Mike great job, one of my favorite videos from you ever!!! What a great place to explore and capture, I'm definitely checking out the donut shop next time I'm in Squamish :)
Awesome! Thank you!
