This is something that Saku and I have put a lot of blood, sweat, tears and time into. Living outside my comfort zone and at times, a little close to the edge. Feeling my heartbeat and feeling more alive. It's the only way I know how and it's the life that fills my soul. 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. From the western side of the island we traversed for the most part trackless woods and waters to reach the eastern end of the province. I documented the entire journey by camera and that is what I will share with you here on my channel.
*GEAR LIST*
For a detailed list of gear I took on this expedition please see this post on my website:

**---Adventure was filmed with--- Canon T5i Rebel (18-135mm kit & 50mm Prime lenses). GoPro Hero 5 and 3+ silver. Slik Sprint Pro II Tripod. Go Pro Chesty, Head and Fetch mount.

Thanks for having us!
Justin Barbour Thanks! That was epic! Can’t wait to come along for future adventures! Loved that ending! VeryWell Deserved!🔥🆙
wooo hooo!!! brings a tear to see the hero's welcome home! thank you justin and saku!!
What an amazing trip! Thank you so much for bringing us along with you. I have now been inspired to make a similar trip myself from New Brunswick to Saskatchewan. I like the idea of taking video along the way to help chronicle the trip. Any tips you can provide about video gear, storage space/sd cards, charging / spare batteries between supply points would be appreciated!
Thanks for the Journey! I'd probably follow you anywhere! Cheers
Without tv, I watch a lot of stuff on UA-cam. This is by far the best series I've ever seen. Raw, fun and most of all I felt like I was there. Thank you so much.
Brought tears to my eyes seeing the huge welcoming party waiting for you and Saku to return.What a huge
accomplishment. Makes this 77 year old Canadian proud.
Joe Robinet sent me over here a long time ago and his words ring more truly than ever. “Go look at NL Explorer, Justin Barbour... *he’s* the real deal!”
Boy that welcome party hit me right in the feels...great job young man and Saku!
It is nice that Saku takes you with him....
I can honestly say this is by far the best outdoor adventure I have ever watched hands down! And I am subscribed to quite a few Canadian outdoors channels! No disrespect to them but, to me, this is it! Thanks so much for including us in your adventure! Amazing!
My sentiments exactly :-)
I've quietly watched all ten episodes, the trials and tribulations, the highs and exciting times of one man and his dog, Saku. Not commenting, just admiring your tenacity, bloody mindedness and sheer joy of being in such beautiful surroundings. An inspiration to young and old, congrats on a magnificent achievement, wonderfully captured on film.
Happy to have you along thanks for dropping a line, lots more to come next week!
18,000 subs? Something this epic deserves many times that. Keep going and the sky's the limit.
I second that and I have no doubt Justin and Saku are on their way.
Thanks!!
IKR
Yes, it's so weird to see such low subs for this incredible content. I have been watching for days now, and I can't figure out how you are not in the 100k + subs.
What a great adventure thanx for taking us along!
I can't begin to tell you how much we enjoyed watching your epic adventure! We're sad to see it end.
A huge thank you to you an Saku for letting us come along, and we're already looking forward to following you on your next big trip!
Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors. Cheers!!
Imagine those men who were explorers. They had no ready-supplies, they knew not where they were going and what the find around the next bend of the river or after climbing the next hill. They knew the four directions...north/south and east/west. Many did not survive and their names are not known to us. You and Saku honored them and you and they will stay in the memory of all of us who came along this adventure. Thank you, Justin Barbour, thank you Sak!
Thank you Justin and Sak,
I followed you 10 episodes ago from my hospital bed, I continued to follow when I came home and again when the blue lights came calling around 3 or 4 episodes ago and now that I'm home and feeling loads better I watch the finale . It is not an exageration to say that you both helped me to get home. I walked 3 miles on Thursday including a small part of the Ceredigion coast path. Why? To see what lay beyond the familiar. I didn't face bears or capsize just my own doubts that I was truly improving. Three miles may not seem a lot after 700 kms but not that long ago 70 metres was a trial. I've walked our local expanse of beach, clambered across the rocks and breathed the free sea air. Your efforts encouraged me to get off the couch, to dig out my old rods and reels and to set my own challenges. Thank you for more than these fews words can explain. You promise more adventures, can't wait.
Lloyd.

Gotta say , from seeing your status updates on your page during the trip following along imagining what it was like in there, seeing you give a talk about it all in St. Johns, witnessing the whole journey here in this series brought a tear to my eye to see you and Saku hit the finish line ! You make the rest of us want to get out there and experience what this beautiful province has to offer . Thanks for putting in so much work and effort into this series !
(smells his socks..) "You can smell the adventure in them!" LMAO!! Been an absolute pleasure watching you and Saku on the trip of a lifetime! Thanks for bringing us along!
BRAVO, Justin. What a spectacular work of art and adventure. I can't get over the quality of film taking and film making. Every time you set up a shot and walk away and I know you have to come all the way back to get the camera, I am amazed and so appreciate all the extra work that takes. Not to mention the weight and logistics of carrying all your video and charging equipment, all the work that goes into maintaining and protecting in those conditions, of continuing to film as you do such rigorous and complex things. And then to take all those hours and hours of film and edit it so beautifully and compellingly... just stunning and generous and fantastic. In this time of being contained to home, this adventure has helped ease the anxiety of the crisis and brought such joy. Thank you for this beautiful offering!
I really really enjoyed to watch this. You are an awesome person, thank you so much!
This has been one of the best series I've watched on youtube. Hope there are many more adventures to come. I believe you mentioned a book? Please let us know when, and where it will be available. Good luck to you and Saku!
Available now if you don't know already, appreciate the support Robert! www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/man-and-dog-through-the/9781771177559-item.html?ikwid=man+and+dog&ikwsec=Home&ikwidx=0
Ok I cried at the end. Justin this has been incredible, thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Well done !!
So did I!
So did I.......happy crying, very HAPPY!!
It’s been so much fun watching this series from start to finish. I absolutely LOVE Saku!!! Such an intelligent, loyal, mellow dog!! Also great to see your down-to-earth and natural presentation style. You don’t put on any macho show like so many other wilderness/outdoor UA-cam channel guys who pose and prance around in their latest, newly-purchased designer outdoor gear, which is a total farce to watch. You are thankfully the complete opposite, as honest and real as ever, which is super refreshing to find on UA-cam.
The end was such a tear jerker! I’m glad Saku had some dog friends to greet him as well
Sad to see this all end , but what a "Beautiful " ending and glorious "WELCOME HOME" for you and Sak. You 2 were killin it. Thank You for keeping us entertained to the point we were coming back for the next episode and on the edge of our seats. Well done sir well done . !!!!!!! Time for you and Sak to kick back and relax .Hugs to Sak for being the great boy he is. Looking forward to your future videos. Once again thank you.
I want to thank you in advance for what I know will be a fantastic finale! Your talent for cinematography,editing and narration has improved over every episode! Please continue to write,film and produce! You have a bright future in this field. Again thanks so much for sharing your adventures in your beautiful Country!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your journey with us and taking us along. Saku is a "tough customer" for sure. One match fire from now on.
Wow. The rain falling, the fire crackling, the swish of the paddle, and the snapping of twigs....only thing missing is smell-o-vision. Great job bud!
Thanks for letting us into your world for a little bit. One hell of an adventure. All the best to you and yours for whatever the future may hold.
Life's a garden, dig it.
Thank you Justin for taking us along your adventure, your skills and emotion with a no BS attitude is what made this real for me.
I LOVED THE ADVENTURE YOU TOOK ME ON .I,AM KIND OF SAD IT,S OVER.I WAS SO SCARED WHEN THE RAFT FLIPPED OVER I WAS GLAD THAT YOU AND SAKU MADE IT.I KNOW YOU WERE SCARED ABOUT SAKU I COULD HEAR IN YOUR VOICE WHEN YOU WERE CALLING HIM.WATCHING THESE VIDEOS MAKES THINK THAT I HAVE KNOWN YOU FOR A LONG TIME.I,AM SURE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ADVENTURE.SAY HI TO SAKU FOR ME.TAKE CARE BUDDY
Well, words cant be said for the journey you and Saku have achieved and shared with us all along the way. The greeting you got at the end was well deserved and brought a tear in my eye to see the pride in the faces of your friends and family,
p,s, Found the words Awesome Justin..
Justin, truly one of the best adventures on the planet.... Crazy good.. Cheers
Justin your cheering crowd at the end broke me up! You and Saku deserved every hand clap. I know you are very proud of Saku, he would have followed you through the pits of hell. Thanks for the adventure and congratulations on such an accomplishment.
Justin, by far the best outdoors series I have watched on UA-cam hands-down. Cheers to you and to Saku our thank you for allowing us to come along on this wonderful adventure!
That welcome home on the shore was special my brother. I'm man enough to admit I cried. After watching through the whole series I was invested, captivated if you will. I felt as though I was being welcomed home too. Thank you for that. When Sak dumped in the rapids with you, I heard the panic in your voice, it put a lump in my throat. What you do is truly inspiring. There will be kids out on that beautiful land you call home, and they will be there because you lit that fire in them. You can't measure what that's worth. Be sure that I will be following along with you on all your adventures. Safe travels my friend.
Really appreciate the comment thanks for watching and all the best, take care!
Way too bring it all home with your loved ones!!
You are very generous to share all this. You two are so brave. You are super talented and genuine. Just stay “you”! Bravo you two....I’m gonna ..... watch it all again!!
So glad everything turned out safe.
Awesome Awesome Awesome is all I can say!! From beginning to end Awesome! Thanks for sharing all this with us. Can't wait for the next adventure
Mr.Justin Barbour and Saku, what can I say about the two of you that has not already been said by all your followers. All I can think about is how much "I LOVED" this series. It showed me how someone can overcome all obstacles when faced with them. You where presented with so many of them and even a near death experience to boot. How you where able to stay positive and humbled at the same time shows just how much of an Explorer your are. In this day and age, we have become so soft it what we do and are always looking for the easy way to do things along with all the creature comforts that we expect. You have brought back an experience and journey that shows just how rough and tumble our ancestors had to be just to survive each and every single day. I wish I could have experiences like this with you but because of my mobility disabilities I can only watch and live them through you and this series. I was there with you every step of the way because it felt so real life to me. I was chocked up at the very end when all your family and friends where there to greet you. The tears where rolling down my cheeks in "HONOR" of this accomplishment. Like I said in a previous post, you should have "The Order Of Canada" bestowed upon you for what you shown the people of Canada and Newfoundland/Labrador. You are an inspiration to me and I am sure by many other people who have followed along this journey with you and Saku. Now on to bigger and better thing for all of us to watch and see. Thanks again for what you endured to show us what it takes to survive in the wilderness of Newfoundland and Labrador. Until the next time take care of yourselves and we will be on the sidelines waiting for your next great adventures. Tom Nova Scotia, Canada
This series has blown me away. Thanks for taking me along with you and Sak.
I just have to add, from living in montana, that 68 days in the wilderness without a bear issue every week is just extraordinary. Must be those socks that keeps them at large.
Wonderful videos. I will say though, after living in NH bear country my whole life (68 years) there's nothing in the world that's better at keeping black bears at bay than a pup. Big or small? Irrelevant. I had my lil' 20 pound beagle send a 300 pound bear up a bull pine faster than a racehorse. My mood went from sudden terror to true comedy... Best friend you'll ever have is Sak...
Nice job Justin and thank you for taking us along with you and Saku. Cheers
I was surprised by my reaction at the end. I was not anticipating a crowd to greet you. Tried to stop weeping but did not succeed. That was a powerful series Justin. My absolute respect young man. Truly a monumental achievement! Well done!
Hi, Justin. I began watching this 10 episode series in January when the first one came out. I wanted to view them very slowly so as to really embrace and enjoy every minute and it was certainly worth it. Viewing the episodes over the course of six months almost made it feel like I was on the journey with you. This is the best non-TV produced wilderness related series I've ever seen. One of the most enjoyable elements was the fact you had no apparent agenda when filming other than to complete your mission and get to the other side of Newfoundland. I will remember and recommend these videos for a long time to come and I'm sure you and Saku will remember them for the rest of your lives.
Thank you for giving me this enjoyment, Justin. I wish you all the best.
Love from the UK
Great series of Videos Justin...…..Can't wait until the Labrador series hits UA-cam.
Amazing adventure for Justin and Saku! Thank you for taking me along😊
It has been a pleasure to follow you and Saku on your adventure.
Thank you and congratulation.
This adventure should be in the Canadian history books,and you and saku should be always remembered as the modern nfld and labroudor explorer's,better then anything I have ever watched in my lifetime
Justin, thank you. What a trip man, just amazing!
This series has been a true pleasure! It made me want to go check out how things are "across the pond" keep us updated on any further adventures. Cheers from Sweden!
Fantastic Justin - Thanks for allowing us to be part of your memories!
It was an awesome ride. Glad you took us along for such an amazing trip. Really inspired me to continue to learn the skills needed to one day do something similar. Can't wait to see what you have in store next!
Great series.
Your bravest moment of the trip --- smelling your socks! lol
Saku was so happy and excited at the end!
Look forward to the next adventure!
Cheers. Screech!
What an epic adventure Justin I have enjoyed every minute. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I couldn't stop until I watched the whole 10 episodes. It was absolutely wonderful to see parts of our great province that we only dreamed about. I have no idea how you are going to top this. I think having Saku with you also encourages you to continue even after the adversity you went through. By far the best video series I have ever watched on UA-cam. Thank you Justin and Saku for making me feel young again!!!
What a great guy you are !! had a great time watching this, i wish it would never end,having Saku with you prob. was a god send, what a great partner,as was you to saku.i'm in a chair now so i do my adventures with you two,it's not easy sitting here wanting to still do this, but it lives on with my two sons and grand son, i am so proud of my boys keeping up the tradition . this is something my boys love to do and now thier boy joins in, they watch you as well. Stay well and happy, love that pup. see you soon !!!!!! R,C,
It's sad to see the series come to a finale but it was a good one from the music being played by the flute and other music was good along with your narration this was a good job and enjoyable series i especially like the one when it was snowing Justin I look forward to some other videos of yours in the future a nice finish with the crowd waiting there for you
I hate to see this adventure come to a close but I’m sure you and Saku will have many many more to share with us - What a great series for your first attempt with filming, editing , and uploading a UA-cam series- I’d give it two thumbs up 👍👍
Thank you for a great experience !
I cried at the end, and along the way too. Congratulations, Justin! Thanks for bringing us along and inspiring. Please give Saku a cookie for me!
G'day Justin, Absolutely fabulous trek, congratulations. Thankyou & Saku for sharing this with us all. You live in a beautiful part of the world. An amazing achievement, Garry from Brisbane.
Hi garry, I live in Brisbane too. Just an amazing series hey?! I'd really love to get there one day, just so different of course to here in Oz. and possibly say hi to Justin. Glad you loved it too.
Cheers 👍
@@hoightb Cheers to you 2, I have camped over much of Oz but never in snow, would just love 2. Have you checked out Matthew Posa? Very funny
I have enjoyed every moment of this series. One of the best I have ever seen. I salute you brother and hope to see more videos of your adventures soon. Cheers! Everyday is a great day to be outdoors!
Truly my joy watching you was in the uneventful character of the trip. It wa a celebration of nature, of wilderness, and of the beauty and peace of your spirit on that journey. While I was shocked by the swamping and terrified that Zack was endangered your spirit carried him and you through this disaster and made of it a learning experience. The shock faded as the dominant feeling of celebration of wilderness regained it prominence. I look forward to more adventures. Thank you for the blessing.
Thanks a lot for the message and for tuning in Father Fish. The wilderness has a type of magic that can bouy the spirit and carry anyone or animal through a bad experience. Me and Saku included. Plenty of adventures already uploaded on the channel and more to come. Take care and best wishes - Justin
The most authentic, entertaining journey I've witnessed in a very long time. Justin, you did what many Newfoundlanders only dream of. You deserve far more recognition my man. Thank you again and again for this.
Justin, thanks so much for sharing your journey. I enjoyed every minute of it. I am sad that its over, but look forward to your next one. You should come out my way (Ontario) and do a trip with Joe and Doug.
This has been my favorite UA-cam series!
Who in the name of God is crooked enough to give this a thumbs down?
I am impressed by how your skills with the camera improved over the course of the trip and I can't wait to see the Labrador trip. It's epic country and based on this series I'm sure you have done a deadly job capturing it.
Bravo, my man. I've really enjoyed this series.. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you. I'm excited to see what's next!
Awesome Awesome Awesome. What a wonderful series. You are a true outdoorsman. CONGRATULATIONS JOB WELL DONE!! WOHOOOO
Wow......... EPIC....... Awesome. This was a wonderful adventure, Justin. Thank you for taking us along. I knew Newfoundland is a beautiful place but I didn't know just how beautiful it is until you showed us. I can;t wait for your next one!!! Love from Halifax
What a great series, one of the best of any media. Along with feeding wild critters all winter (coyote, bald eagle, fisher, foxes, racoons, hawk, owl, bobcat, deer and others) these videos fed the soul and pushed back cabin fever. Don't change...many thanks.
I HAVE COME BY AGAIN TO SEE THIS CROSSING I ENJOY IT EVERY TIME AND SHARE IT EVERY TIME !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS EPIC TRIP !!! YOU AND SAKU STAY SAFE!! THE BEST TO YOUR FAMLY
Excellent video buddy, love Saku but not big on the Habs blanket lol Go Leafs Gov

Great end to an awesome adventure Justin. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Amazing adventure. Thanx for all the hard work!
Excellent, Very funny, Drying your feet . The commentary was very funny , the laughs and talking to Sahu.. The Peak Pd / Split Rock area is by far my favourite place for camping fishing and hunting for the last 40 plus years . Beautiful Country
Thank you for taking me along on your journey!
Justin, Thanks for allowing us to experience the raw, emotional, passionate, and intimate part of your life.
We've all shared your excitement, your anxieties, your highs and lows as we followed Saku and yourself on this incredible journey.
I think myself along with many others have experienced the rugged beauty of NL vicariously through you.
We are all a little richer for seeing this expedition.
For that, I say Thank You!
The conclusion of an epic adventure. Well done Sir. 👍
Awesome! Can't wait for the next adventure!
So cool to hear everyone cheering for you. 👍👍
You have done yourself and Newfoundland proud. You took us along to see the good, the bad and a smidgen of ugly, (I consider the fire the ugly,, the capsize the bad.). Quoting Justin Barbour, “I don’t know what to say, I’m speechless .” You are made of tough stuff! I’m looking forward to your next videos but please take care of yourself and Saku.
Ok. I am watching this from pandemic lockdown, but this has been one of the best series I have watched- from anywhere. I felt the joy, the stress - and the urgency of the flip. This is amazing. Saku is a one in a million pup - and you a a filmmaker that gets how to tell a story. I will be following...
Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey. Now than the beautiful views and the accomplishment of the completion, the story of the journey and the need to overcome not just the physical but the mental and emotional obstacles was a joy to watch.
Then you for sharing all the portions of the journey and not just editing for "the pop".
I look forward to your continuing journeys in the future.
WOW..... I looked forward to watching Your videos ... You and Saku was an enjoyment to watch .. looking forward to Your next adventure.. hats off to You two ... well done .. :)
Maybe the best series I've seen on UA-cam in years! Thanks to you and Saku for taking all of us on your most wonderful adventure. It's like you're only talking to me when you speak. Your line of "ah, smell the adventure" will go down as one of the best quotes ever. I loved your talk about the fire. No food tastes better. Hope the gold mine doesn't come about. There is no reason to destroy beauty solely for the profits of a few. Saku is a wonderful friend and companion and I look forward to more of your's and his adventures. Stay safe brother and keep taking us along. Till we meet again.
People don’t know what they’re missing by not watching this young man ;not dreaming about doing things ..but actually doing it! Love this!
Great job Justin and Saku
Thanks Scott, all the best & safe adventures 👍
I'm sad it's over but I can't wait to see what you and Saku have in-store for the future! Amazing series and you two are an awesome team!
great job Justin, can't wait to see the Labrador trip.
I have to say even being a stoic guy, that ending was very emotional. I watched the whole series, what you've gone through boyed with your incredible drive to succeed, your relationship with Saku and it leaves me proud of you!
I hope you will do more Ironman Bush Craft again.
This series, as well as all the others since, was incredibly real, raw, powerful, relaxing, unnerving, scary, tranquil, exciting and heartwarming. You took us on a journey through the full array of emotions, both high and low. I'm as much of a man as most, and yet couldn't hold back a few tears of pain as well as exhilarating victory. Thank you for reminding us of the deep strength of a tenacious and determined will to fight on.
I sincerely pray for your continued wisdom and safety, as well as that of your faithful and strong fellow soldier Saku. And much love for Bear! Just keep going! (Within reason).
Epic Ending Just Perfect! Thanks for Sharing!
It's been a pleasure to watch all of these, thanks for sharing your adventure! This series is what sets you apart from other bushcraft / camping channels. Single videos are fun, but a series like this keeps us all coming back for more and wondering "what happens next?". I'm sure it's a lot more work, but continuing the "mini series" style will rocket you and Sak to the moon. Can't wait to see what's next!
What an incredible journey! I've enjoyed every minute of this, every drop of rain, every beam of sun, every river and lake, every step, every fish and campfire. My heart was pounding when you went under with the raft and you desperately called for Saku, and I teared up in joy when you found him again. I have marvelled at the unbelievable scenery, the beautiful sunsets and sunrises. This has been truly inspiring, and I can't wait to get out on my own canoe, on my small expeditions and fishing trips. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Justin, what a epic adventure! I’ve been watching this trip all weekend. Three heart stopping times, when you had to leave Saku and paddle across the bay, capsizing your boat and then the fire, couldn’t have been more exciting. Your determination and grit are unbelievable. Saku is your greatest asset too. I love that dog!
Great Newfie homecoming. An adventure like no other. Happy it ended safely but sad to see it end. Congratulation and thanks for bringing up many of my old memories.
can't wait fro your next adventure.....
congratulations Justin and saku for the adventure of a life time..thanks to you for allowing me to join you along the way, my very best way to spend many winter nights around my laptop following your trip.. I have learned so much from you.. I am both saddened and happy you are home with family and friends..maybe we will see you on weekend adventures, thanks again Justin and your forever faithful companion SAKU...
Justin, You embody all the spirit of a modern day explorer. It is certain buy your positive actions in every stride that you where enjoying every breath you pulled whether challenge fully or relaxed. Saku's demeanor is a reflection of your heart. I look forward to seeing more from you. If you ever pass thru northern Idaho you have a place to rest and a warm meal waiting (not fish).
That was incredible. You did a great job Justin. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing an epic journey. Glad you made it through, and safely. Looking forward to much more from you 2 dogs... hahaha. 😂👍
haha the bys. Thanks for watching!
The GRANDEST series EVER! Watched every minute of every episode. Kudos to you and Saku. You are an inspiration to future wilderness adventurers. Journey on, Justin!
I won't be a spoiler for those who haven't seen it yet, but the ending was so amazingly powerful! What an awesome set of videos. You've done your Province and your people proud.
