68 Days Across Newfoundland Wild: EP.2 Man & Dog
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Join me and my dog Saku for episode #2 of our 68 day wilderness camping adventure. We travel 700 kilometers across the challenging woods of Newfoundland. It's survival in every sense of the word other than the fact that we live primarily on carried rations. We do catch many fish for extra calories later in the trip. We are often many miles from civilization.

I am hoping for a minimum of 8 episodes from this expedition. This is something that Saku and I have put a lot of blood, sweat, tears and time into. We hope you enjoy the series.
BACKSTORY: In the Spring of 2017 I embarked on a 700km snowshoe, Alpacka raft, backpacking expedition across the harsh yet magical Newfoundland interior wilderness. I was solo as a human but far from alone. By my side from start to finish was my loyal Cape Shore Water Dog, Saku. We went through thick and thin together in order to travel across some of the least explored wilderness regions of our province. We encountered frequent wildlife while battling desolate barrens, thick bush, mountain ranges, storms, sub-zero temperatures, raging whitewater, massive lakes, the Atlantic Ocean and monster trout. Often we were days of man-power travel away from civilization. It was a big challenge and an unforgettable blessing.
Newfoundland is the island portion of the province "Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada"
We have A LOT of unoccupied land and endless outdoor opportunities. The interior of the island is largely uninhabited. What exists is primarily remote wilderness. That is where our trip took place. I documented the entire journey by camera and that is what I will share with you here on my channel.

WTG bud, you did a fine job on this episode , kept me glued to the screen the whole time . next one longer u ask, yessiree ,and good job on keeping Sak's feet in check, like I was saying in your first video next trip bring along a couple sets of booties for him . he's a good boy and luvs his human dad bunches, I can see it when he looks at you and always waits for u to catch up when he gets ahead of u sometimes...lol That heel of yours looks sore or at least tender , hope it clears up for u soon,. Ok Anxiously awaiting your next video , and you and Sak be safe out there and steer clear of those moose when you can. but , have fun.
Giver bud!!

Jumped to the last episode just to see if Saku was still alive and made the journey. Now I can happily tune in to episode 3. Riveting.
Joe Robinet said to come on over and subscribe...so I did.
Most Excellent Adventures with Kim and Sandy yeah, me too.
same here, i'm glad i did
Me too
Man, when you set up the camera to capture yourself walking across the river... dedication!
Respect!
I know this is an older video, but it's my first time watching. Hearing you say that Saku is the main priority gives you an abundance of respect from me.
Justin ..... making Canada proud !
Thank you!
Hard to really comprehend how tough you are to have taken this adventure on, it’s easy watching from your arm chair but if you’ve spent any time outdoors you understand this is an epic challenging hard slog. Well done Sir.
Thanks for watching Jon it was a grind for sure, but a fun one..
Just watched the first two parts. Didn't realize Saku was a pup still. He's gonna be one hardcore adventure companion! Good work!
Thanks brother. Yeah he was nothin but a young boy here. Just takin life by the horns. Appreciate you watching keep pumpin out your vids. Cheers!
Fancy meeting you here Matthew. ;-)
Good Onya Starlord. :-)
The rawness of the land is daunting to just watch you endure! You have the will and grit of the men who tamed the wild. Your face looks raw too!
OMGosh! You sun/wind burn your face, sore feet, falling into deep snow, fording rivers, wildlife encounters, ruffed up map, sketchy ice.....you’re giving me chills and I’m just a viewer!!! Saku is a trooper!! I love your narration and sharing your thought processes. What an adventure!! Where do you get your will?! Amazing Justin. Wow.
Thanks Susan they are just small scarafices to live the life. Appreciate you watching. Cheers! Justin
Agreed!
This is TRUE northern wilderness supertripping at it's most elemental . It simply doesn't get any more real and raw than this . A huge tip of my hat to you Justin for what you and Saku have done here so far . Thanks for showing the world how it's really and properly done - mostly on foot . Tons of respect .
Thanks North Woods I appreciate it as always. Please share to family and friends. It keeps getting better I promise. Catch you in the next one buddy keep pluggin out there! Justin
Burgeo. So that's what Burgeo looks like. Thanks Justin and Saky.
@20.22 the dog thinks hes about to throw the stick😂 just a wonderful dog
Anybody Joe says is a good guy and has good content is good enough for me. I've followed Joe for 5 years now. And I think I just found another guy to watch out for.
Thanks for coming over and thanks to Joe. Hope you enjoy the channel, there's lots to come
Sorry.....please help me. Who is Joe? I want to meet his channel. 😊
@@mikedandar1171 - Joe Robinet. He is another Canadian outdoorsman and has a YT channel.
Another great episode! The relationship that develops between dog and owner while in the woods is something that a lot of people don't understand. He becomes your buddy, not your pet. Respect.
My buddy 100 percent. He's a true friend now. Thanks Don!
Bag balm!
As Michigan farmers, we used bag balm all the time in winter.
It’s great for the cow’s teats, as well as our own lips, hands, and anywhere there is cracked or dry skin.
I wouldn’t do that trip without it or an equivalent!
I’ll bet it would be great on Saku’s (Canada’s greatest dog) feet!
You are a true wayfaring soul it's in your blood....cheers Dave
I love how you took care of Saku..He is living the dream...and you too Justin.Awesome!
Thanks for watching Ethel!
great! Appreciate both the ballsy epic trip and the time and effort putting it together in a coherent vid.
Kudos.
Probably watched this episode 2-3 times but never noticed the moose skipping along making great strides at times
(maybe he has skates) across the ice! /s. One thing that's always on point is your love and care for the animal that travels with you.
Whether it be Saku or Bear they know they are in safe hands when exploring with you. Glad they weren't born 200 years earlier...
may have been a different story. Trek on, my friend.
Appreciate it Daniel. That moose was a long ways out. Maybe 1km. More to come, all the best
Matt, Joe ,& Justin need to go on a adventure together. Hopefully they'd include the fur kids. Happy trails Justin & Saku.
Wow, the quality of this video is unreal! I love watching these videos and living your adventurous spirit with you!
Thanks Jess!!
Longer yes please! And another video on how to make that Goulash!
Haha thanks. Like the goulash hey? Real easy just a normal recipe from google and dehydrated for 8 hours in my dehydrator then vacuume sealed
Absolutely an epic journey. Saku is incredibly well behaved at less than one year of age. Tough going there for the both of you at times. Looking forward to episode 3, Justin. Beautiful, rugged country.
Thank you!
JUST LOVE THESE TRIPS
You sir have a wonderful personality- like Joe Robinet! So humble and optimistic - thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure. Saku is the best, love the little fella!
Thanks Peter! Happy you stopped over to see a slice of Newfoundland 👍
Okay, I found the first 4 minutes really funny. When I was a kid, we had a winter camping expedition with Boy Scouts. We built our own lean to's and did everything we could to make them comfortable, for just one night. Before bed, our scout leaders had us run about 3 miles, to get us warm before bed. Anyhow, I crawled into a summer weight sleeping bag, and within 10 minutes ,was freezing my balls off. This was in 1972, and there weren't many winter camping bags available in my area at that time. I moved to Alberta in 1976, and one of the first purchases I made there, was a sleeping bag from a company called Sprung. At that time they were at the forefront of the winter clothing line. I still have that sleeping bag, and it still is good to -30.
Good journal ... People some time look at things and say ''i can do that'' to find out the talk and the walk are different , i am sure that this journey is going to be essential , to get your self out of any pickle in the future , So brother here i am again for the ... episode # 2 journal Justin Saku Barbour
Thanks Patrice glad you are enjoying the series! All the best, Justin
What an excursion. You're legit living the dream! It's amazing the amount of beauty our province has to show us. Can't wait till the next one, cheers bud.
Thanks Chad glad your enjoying that NL beauty. All the best brudder
Justin you are something else! Really enjoying watching your adventure, I envy and admire you and Saku!
Newfoundland survivor! Without the flies!
Thank for tuning in Marjory glad you enjoyed! few flies to come when it warms up don't you worry. But it's all good haha
I was going to say that you are a 'machine' but your not, you're a huuuman, and what an example. An inspiration to all. It's an honour to be following this 68 day journey. Thank you for sharing and the effort involved.
Praise to the unspoiled beauty of nature. There still remain magical areas preserved and reserved for people driven by the thrill of adventure. I must tell you that it pleases me to see the care that you demonstrate towards your companion, Saku. Thank you so much for sharing. God Bless, Greg
Thanks for tuning in as always Greg. Really appreciate you coming back. All the best catch you in the next one
Back for another round of this series in 2022. Maybe I'll read the book again too! Thanks again for sharing your adventure and positivity, Justin!
EP-frikin-IC!
Thanks Stuart glad you enjoyed it!
Great that you pace yourself to the conditions and Saku, not a pre set schedule. A lot of trips get ruined by that self imposed sense of urgency. Really enjoying the series.
What a wonderful channel, much love from Ireland Justin (and Saku) Keep up the great content !
Great smile.
Thanks Dee : ) with or without my teeth?
Hey Justin, what an awesome series you have going. The scenery is breathtaking for sure. Your editing skills are pretty wicked as well. I am happy to see subtitles on the screen in the parts when it is so windy out there. Makes us stay connect to you for sure. Keep on doing what you are doing and I will await for the next video regardless of how long it is, as long as we get to continue seeing your adventure. Tom Nova Scotia Canada
Thanks for watching and commenting Tom, all the best from the rock! Justin
oh my, that blister looks nasty... Been there before, those are never any fun. Nice to see familiar country again in this leg of your journey. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for tuning in Ghost Wolf. Glad you can share the experience of a nice blister! It's only a small sacrifice to be on the land as you know. Catch ya next week, cheers from GFW.
Duct tape works good, but not directly on the blister oh course. If you are every out this way, Stephenville Area, look me up I have a good roll of the real stuff that you can have.@@JustinBarbournlexplorer
@@NLGhostWolf Awesome thanks buddy
Man and dog. Great stuff. 700km thru snow. Makes my 800km thru Spain look like a walk in the park..
Fantastic segment in this series, that old tuck-a-moor it can be a bugger! I don't do filming but I can only imaging the time put into it. Thanks for doing it and sharing it with us!
Thanks for tuning in as always Jacqueline. The Tuck is a tangle sometimes!
Justin you are one tough hombre. It must be nice to be young. I’m 68 and still get out on my own but not to this extreme anymore so it’s nice to see your adventures on video. Thanx for sharing. You mst loose a lot of weight on trips like this. Good to Saku holding his own
Thanks as always Clifford! Forgot to mention I loved you Moose card. Wicked. As for the weight I lose a lot for sure. All part of the game. At the end of the series I'll reveal my losses. You will notice it as the episodes wear on haha
Thanks to Joe for suggesting this channel. Subscribed.
Can't wait for next episode!
Wow. Don’t even begin to know you get your head round the extremes you faced. I’m in total admiration Well done Justin I’m really enjoying your adventure. Take good care my son and stay lucky
Thanks for watching Aggy!
love this music at the start of this :)
Justin you Saku is having a awesome adventure i missed #i i an going back to see it.awesome Justin.take care
Thanks as always Wallace! Appreciate you dropping a line buddy. Seen you turkey neck soup the other day looked mouth watering
Another good job! I may have to let these episodes build up so I can binge watch them.
Like the length, 30 minutes is too short, 60 minutes is getting up there , 45 minutes...just right.
Cheers from B.C.
I am truly enjoying your adventure so far! Your love for Saku is heart warming and he is one hard core pup! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thanks Robertine!
You need some of those winter wooly crocs for camp and especially when your boots are wet! They are light and incredibly warm! Great adventure, thanks for sharing!
Awesome show some deadly shots cant wait for next episode
Thanks Mitch glad your enjoying it brudder she keeps getting better
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer must of been a excellent experance . man and dog enjoying the Nl wilderness nothing like it
Nice way to end my Friday night. That blister looked brutal. Nice to have
Mole skin 👌. Awesome video Justin.
Thanks Pierre glad you enjoyed part 2. Catch ya in the next one!
Oh ok, it's April. I wondered about those geese! Great job! The best!
haha yea doesn't seem like April at times does it. They were just coming back from the winter. Every other day I was hearing more and more. Thanks for tuning in and dropping a line catch ya in the next episode!
I enjoy watching you both Joe & Justin. You're never alone when you have a dog.
When the going gets tough, follow the big game trail.
They either know the way or make a way.
Just keep checking your compass bearing.
(staying tuned from New Brunswick)
Amazing adventure Justin! C'est le genre de séries que je serais prêt à payer si c'était sur le câble, une fois le premier épisode regardé c'est comme une drogue , tu attend la prochaine dose ;) You are a great source of inspiration and motivation for me the 51 years old guy trying his best in the woods for 2-3 days winter trip . But doing this for weeks 😲I don't know où tu trouves la force mentale et physique pour poursuivre ton expédition jour après jour , je te lève mon chapeau ! See you on the next episode, I need my drug
haha glad you are enjoying and finding some inspiration! that inspires me. Cheers we'll catch ya in the next one
Quick changing during winter camping is definitely a skill. Especially in a tiny tent! Great episode and what an adventure! Loved the Rock while we were out there. ❤️
Just found this guy, what a beast!
Awesome adventure!
Well done man. As my old man would say “ You’re as tough as a gad”.
Thanks Len!! That's a new one for me but ill take it
Haha and just to let you know if you didn’t already a gad is an alder that are very hard to break off.
Living the dream!
Oh man. This is great stuff! It looks like its turning out to be one hell of a trip. I like what you have going on with this series, and I really like the "On the next episode" teasers at the end of the video. I'll be watching your other stuff to fill in the gaps till next episode. And thanks Joe Robinet for suggesting this channel!
Thank you buddy. Finally something awesome to watch tonight. Cheers
Thanks Terlor hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think when it's over
I will. I’m about to watch it now. I wait all week for your next vid. Always worth the wait
Is your beautiful dog named because you’re a habs fan?
Awesome as always. Can’t wait for next
This is unreal great filming and editing. This docuseries is going to be good to the finish. Its s remarkable journey through the Newfoundland wilderness
Thanks guys glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve discovered you and your videos and watching in no particular order. Watched the gruelling crossing Labrador. Poor Saku and his pack. If he’s not walking out of it, it’s lopsided. Little bugger soldiers on.
This series is just AWESOME! Lovely scenery and I love the commentary. Quite gruelling days you are both having.......Take care, Bluefin.
Thanks as always Bluefin! I love the wilderness grind. It's what we're made to do
What an adventure, brave souls, looking forward to more episodes and your book , Newfoundland geographic !
Lovin' every minute!!! TY Soooooooooooooooooooooooo much!
Saku's a canadiens fan I see! Happy to see that 14:47
What a show! Very obedient dog.
Awesome adventure,, some great video there ,kept me on the edge of my seat beautiful newfoundland scenery wildlife dam it had it all cheers untill next friday
Thanks Jim, catch next episode!!
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer sure will buzz
Great video again, exciting and engaging. The care of your dog says a lot about your character,
Another awesome clip, thanks for dragging me along
Thanks John, I could feel you on the sled!
A joy to watch as always man, real adventure in the real wilderness, doesn't get much better than that!👍👍
Thanks Karl appreciate it man! Glad you are enjoying it keep getting better spread the seed. Cheers, Justin
a kind soul and true woodsman..excellent work..
Make them long or short we will watch them and still want more! Thanks
Thanks Mike!
@@mikedailey4597 haha
Awesome, looking forward to next week already. :D
Thanks spread the good word!
Tough time of year here on the island for this kind of trek for sure , takes a certain amount of '' Fortitude '' and a love for the outdoors to keep er going, especially when the going gets tough. Hearty Newfoundlander for sure. Much respect to you sir! another great video man, what series this is going to be ;)
Thanks Islander glad you are enjoying it!
I'm absolutely hooked on this series, the content you're creating is phenomenal. Watching Saku develop his bush skills is absolutely thrilling man, can't wait for more.
Good to see a real person out there doing it, I can relate - the rangers thought my gal and I were daft crazy when we did a backpacking trip thru the lone Range Plateau for 10 days (let alone 70) within what was to become Gros Morne National Park in 1985. We did it, nary a sign of humans the whole trip til we hit the trail to the summit. Not a lot of fancy equipment, no GPS, just Map and compass and just hard work. Looking forward to the rest of these episodes!
Appreciate you sharing that story and glad you are enjoying the vids. Long Range Mountains are glorious. I bet it was wild back then! Was it not a registered route at that time? It is now
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer No, there was not even a trail of any kind. Slept in a cave coming up the head of Western Brook Pond to the plateau. Picking through the woods and marshes was really difficult, and you had to watch every step, because if you got hurt nobody was coming to find you. I could really relate to your situation in this vid. To go a mile in a straight line usually took 2x that distance. Bugs were horrendous too. Lost 18 lbs on that trip, hardest thing I ever did, wouldn't trade it for anything! The fact that my GF did as well is even more incredible, toughest woman I ever met.
Some nice to watch these videos Justin.. your not easy bud. Waiting for number 3... take care... good job Saku..👍
Thanks Pat it's good fun buddy. Glad you enjoyed watching and appreciate the comment. Catch ya next week!
TIP: Coat your paper maps with Thompsons Water Seal before you leave. Awesome series!!
Great tip I'll keep it in mind. Thought the waterproof bag was enough never should have took them out in the wind. lesson learned. Thanks for watching Glenn!
Living the life Justin , really enjoyed the episodes so far ..
You sir, are a true Canadian badass. And Newfoundland is so pretty!
Excellent! Can't wait to go ice fishing with my self administering iv gear! Just can't let it freeze. Two spine surgeries in 31 days, and ready to go b,ye...LOL!
Thanks for watching Lori hope you feel better soon and can get out! All the best, Justin : )
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer Thanks so much. Open invitation to you, Heather and the doggies up to my cabin...Serpentine area :)
THANKS FOR A GREAT VIDEO
"Chew yer caribou bone!" ... sound advice.
haha that's what it's there for. Thanks for watching
Good to see you care about you and your dog I've been around trees my whole life so in the open country not to sure other than protect from the wind
Congratulations on reaching 10K subscribers today Justin. Everybody spread the word.
Thanks Dave!
Over from Joe Robinet's. Will come back to this video going to watch from start.
Attitude is everything, and yours is fantastic, Justin. How about putting Saku's paws in doggy pads?
Enjoying this adventure
Great series. Cannot wait for next episode.
Thanks Kelly glad you are enjoying. Catch ya in the next one!
Fantastic!
Thanks Geoff! Glad you enjoyed it catch you in the next episode. Best, Justin.
Great video once again, I could feel the cold when you were walking across the river, even Saku didn't want to get in. Also good to see the strong bond you have with Saku when your more concerned about his paw than the monster blister on your heal.👍
Thanks Dean glad you enjoyed it. Saku is main priority for sure. Please spread the word of the series, catch ya in the next one! Cheers, Justin
Dammit...there goes my internet data!! As an enthusiastic winter camper, living in Tasmania Australia (that is currently covered in wild fires) I am really enjoying this. Good work Justin, and Saku. Keep em coming!!
Thanks for the ride. I love looking at the wildlife.
Love the video. Cant wait for episode three.
Thanks for watching and dropping a line. Much appreciated. Please spread the word the series only gets better! Catch ya in the next one. Justin
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer Will do. Being a proud Newfoundlander I love seeing the videos of our beautiful province. At times I wish i still lived back home.
This trip is a whole new level.
Thanks glad you enjoyed, just doing what I love
Big Joe Robinet brought me here. Excited to see your channel grow and best of luck to you on your adventures!
Hey Justin! New subscriber here after hearing Joe Robinet giving you a shout out. Like the country and the challenge you are giving yourself and your dog! Keep it up and I look forward to the next episode at any time. I like them both ways but I do enjoy more time! Thanks again!!!
Episode 1 was good. Putting this on my watch list to get to later tonight.
Look forward to the next one.
