- In this 5th episode of the wilderness camping adventure we have a very close call on the river. There is also snow, rain, frigid temperatures. Along with my dog Saku we are on a 68 day expedition travelling for 700 kilometers through the difficult, remote and rugged wilderness of Newfoundland, Canada. We are camping far from civilization and rolling with the flow of nature.

**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*

Hey folks thanks for waiting around during the delay. I appreciate all your support.
This episode take us up to the halfway point of our 700km journey. It was a tough one for me to edit and you will find out why. You'll probably have unanswered question's and concerns. It's a difficult life out there and every reward comes with a fight. I have written a book that will go further in depth on what happened in this episode, the others and what was never filmed. It will be released this summer along with Saku's own children's book. I will make copies available to you all when possible.
As for the rest of the series there should be three more episodes out over the next three weeks. I'll keep you posted here and on my social channels. My aim is to upload Episode #6 this Sunday.
Thanks for watchin.
Amazing job bud! I'll keep an eye out for the book! So glad you were able to recover the footage.
Scary stuff, Saku must b a good swimmer to of got out of that. Did you replace any of your missing gear, I'm not sure I'd have felt safe to of carried on without a shotgun or at least something else to scare bears off?
thats good to hear - put me down fer a book there pard
wow, hooly dooly , what an episode to come back too, hey! Man, i would have have been just as torn up about saku as you were, but thankfully him and you were ok. It really goes to show how risky plans can be and how they can change in a split second.
Hopefully there aren't any more "events" like that in future episodes!
In hindsight, would you get a life vest for saku for other canoe trips in rapids? Or just not do them with him? lol
Another great video, can't wait for the next one. Cheers mate
@@hoightb Hey man thanks for watching. The jacket is a touchy subject in white water for both man and dog. The issue is the hydraulics of the river. The are a recirculating currents in holes as you may know. If I get caught in one I need to remove the jacket to get propelled out. If Saku had gotten caught the buoyancy of the jacket would likely have pinned him in there because he could not remove it himself. Rescue would have been near impossible eventually drowning him by intake of water. The best bet was for me not to run it at all, but after hammering the first two I felt unstoppable. Lesson learned for me and hopefully many others
You win some, you lose some?
Jason, you win every friggin’ endeavor you participate in!
Hundreds of thousands of us wish we had the physical strength and fortitude that you have!
Thanks sincerely!
Thank God for Saku’s life!
I cried as I waited with sinking stomach as you called for Saku. Ten minutes after the video and I am still feeling your pain. God was definitely with you two, that day.
Someone was watching for sure I'm 100 percent convinced. Appreciate you watching Kate
That's an interesting perspective. So what would you say to a starving child in Yemen? God had better things to do?
@@pathwithin1519 what would cause a person to reply like that?
Screw the gear you lost, you got your dog back!! That's a MAJOR coup!!!
You're a hardy fellow JB..living by your wits..you'll be fine, no doubt in my mind!!!
Ugh the Newfound Marsh. In '97 I was a Katima-victim who helped cut a good portion of the East Coast Trail. I remember going out to scout and flag with a group of 5 of us. Trudging back to the car, I was last in line (and likely the heaviest) when I suddenly found myself waist deep in what had been, for the previous 4 people, solid ground. The wind and rain in this video brought back some pretty vivid and physical memories. One day I'll get back there.
Thanks for sharing that story! Hope you get back some day, appreciate you watching. Cheers from the Rock, Justin
Holy jumpin jesus, what a rush! Get a life jacket for Saku especially for the river runs.....
He did ok, any kind of harness is in danger of snagging and trapping the helpless dog.
Saku’s one tough pup 🦴 a well deserved treat for the little man. I love your positive never say die attitude. What you’re doing is truly inspirational. Keep up the great work my friend. Already can’t wait for the next one 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Gary I'm glad to take you along for the ride
Ok...so what is the award for top adventure dog and how do I nominate him. Seriously.... The byes are back.
Damn. That was intense. There are not many videos on UA-cam that I've watched that made me completely focus and kind of hold my breath like that bit of you guys going down the rapids did. Glad you guys made it out only losing a couple things!
For sure brother real lucky. A lot of things happened on that day that will never make sense to me. Someone had our backs. Thanks for watching
Love both of your guys videos.
I just watched the video of you Funk and a friend were in the rain and Funk dunked first then when you turned to get her you dunked. This scene and that scene my heart raced and sank at the same time. Scary stuff, glad everyone is safe thank God!!
I was thinking portage...when you came up on that area, high cold spring waters, and overloaded top heavy raft! I’m so relieved you and Saku are ok! Humbling moment no doubt and a great life lesson. Best adventure video series on UA-cam right now! Thank you for uploading this story of yours Justin.
Definitely but in the heat of the adventure confidence brews and obstacles don't seem as threatening. After running the first two I felt unstoppable. Lesson learned for me and hopefully many others. Appreciate you tuning in Mike buddy
I was thinking portage as well!
@@rolbaker sometimes ya gotta roll the dice
Ok
I want Saku’s children’s book for my daughter no doubt about it. Keep up the good work, Justin. You are a good soul.
Thanks Luke I will have updates this summer when it's released! Appreciate you tuning in man and hope the daughter enjoys it too
Justin best channel I have had the pleasure of watching. Dude you rock. I love that you don’t swear in your videos. My kids can watch with me. You should be on the discovery channel. Can’t wait to see more vids. Thanks buddy
You always have a positive attitude under the worst conditions ...👍
Holy cow brother. That scene was the most emotionally intense moments I've seen in a while. My heart sank and my stomach dropped. I was terrified for Saku even though I've seen your uploads since and knew the outcome. I can only imagine how hard you were shaking during those 20 intense minutes. Sorry, I don't mean to make you re-live it. Just wow. I'm glad it worked out man. Keep up the awesome adventures!
A big accomplishment doesn't come easy or we would all be doing it. Risks are taken but we never want them to pan out. That was one daring white water and you paid a small ransom but got back quite the experience having been ejected from your voyage and that's what adventure is all about. How you manage to do it all yourself and still lay down an excellent video is beyond me. This series is the greatest . So glad you took the challenge.
Thanks really appreciate those kind words and you tuning in. Cheers from Newfoundland buddy
Whoa My heart was pumping for you guys.! So glad you and Saku are ok.
My heart sunk for Saku, so happy you both are okay. Jesus.
You are a soul to be admired at many levels, your adventurous spirit, you positivity, your optimism, you respect and enjoyment of nature, your sincerity and your overall skills as an outdoorsman. I was specially very touched and understanding of your deep despair when you lost Saku for a while. Without realizing it you displayed your innate sensitivity, your humanism and your immediate priorities., all to be appreciated . You are a rare good man. I am thankful for people like you around and am fortunate to have got to know you through video media. My favourite thing you say often is , “Sak, what do you think bud ? “
Thanks really appreciate the kind words!
I cheated on episode 2 and checked to see if Saku was still alive in the last episode. So, I must say, as gut-wrenching and harrowing as this episode was to watch, I had the knowledge that you were both ok. Thank God! Exciting stuff. Greetings from South Africa.
One heck of a standing wave, Saku is a swimmer.
The trust that Saku has in you is unconditional, so glad he is safe.
I got separated from my beagle in a snow storm before, it took over 2 hours of searching before he just popped out of the bushes like he was on a stroll at the beach.
Amazing glad it turned out well for you too. Ya never know what will happen out there. Cheers, Justin
You are a Beast! Truly love your videos.. Most respect. Love between a man and his dog is more then a friendship! They are family..
Saku is such a good BOY! standing still while you adjusted the pack. But what a nightmare when you dumped. Poor critter. wonder how he ended up where he did. Go safely!
my heart stopped when you yelled for Saku the second time..i had to foreword ahead ...uhg thank god....fkn ah be safe..
That's what I did too Shawn!
My heart dropped! I thought Saku was gone! Thank God. Loving the adventure. Be careful out there!
Thanks Lynell, appreciate you tuning in : ), all the best from Newfoundland
“We will be dry, when we are dry” - Justin Barbour 2018
This one nearly had me in tears....when it ended 😭glad you and Saku are good. You learn to tie your gear down in the boat after you take a dunk. Thanks as always, looking forward to next weeks episode.
Best episode yet - for the wrong reasons. My heart stopped for a few minutes, and I held my sweet lab Maya tighter during that time. Saku is a very special dog, you could see the relief in his eyes once he found you. Can’t wait for the remaining episodes.
Même pas capable d'écrire un commentaire tellement cet épisode m'a bouleversé, maybe later , the drama was too intense 😢
Yikes! That was scary. So glad that you and Saku are safely reunited. Needed that happy ending.
God was and is with you. You are fighting the good fight. Please do not stop.
That was a hard watch after seeing the friendship build between you two. So glad you and Saku were ok. Wow.
My family moved to St.Alban's in 1966, my dad helped build the Hydro Dam.
Had to fly in by Company Plane,no Roads to the Trans Canada. Coastal Boat was the only link to the outside.
Maybe see some old school mates or Family. Safe travels,Glad Saku came out OK.
Showing me Places I haven't seen since 1996.
Very glad to see you both are doing good! An old saying that I tell my kids: If you make a mistake and you learn from it, it was NEVER a mistake to begin with ... it was a LESSON. I wish you all the best my friend (Saku too)!!
Just watching this series now. OMG I was in tears listening to you calling for Saku.
thank God you and Saku are okay
Hey bud, Murph here. Sure glad you and Sak made it out alright. I couldn’t imagine what was going threw your mind when you couldn’t find him. But again awesome flick. Really enjoy your content. Can’t wait to see that haul of trout you scored there next video. Cheers Justin Buddy.
Jeeeeze, so lucky that you and Saku got out of that mess alive and uninjured. So happy for you, what a scary scene.
So glad I watched crossing Labrador before this series, otherwise I wouldn't have enjoyed waiting to find out if Saku made it out of the rapids alive. Thank god you both did!! This series is giving me life during Covid isolation...thank you!
That.....was....intense! I sat up in my seat when you and Saku went under. Then I was on edge until you found him! I am so glad the two of you made it out with all body parts intact. Best episode yet and I've been hooked since the beginning. Can't wait for the next episode!
Such an incredible dog saku is, amazing for him to swim to shaw for safety. But it really makes your realise how carful you need to be outdoors
That one scared the hell out of me. Take care of yourself and Saku
I teared up reading the river toss in the book and it was so much more stressful to watch. I'm glad you're both okay
This 68 day video series is the greatest series on UA-cam and that Saku moment was scary
Thanks Shawn really appreciate that buddy
G,day Justin and Sauk laying here in my hospital bed and saw your video was up ...made my day a little less boring...Cheers from Australia
Thanks Peter glad I could help!
Holy crap Justin, I almost lost it when I saw that footage! Adrenalin overload.. you too' hey bud! So thankful you and Saku made 'er out ok!
I could feel it in my gut when you hit those rapids. Thank God you and Saku made it through
For sure thanks for watching Michael
Well worth the wait sir. Can't lie I got a little choked up and anxious inside when you were desperately crying out for Saku, glad you boys made it out. Hell of an episode.
Amen, to that brotha. Glad you kept that, it's so important. Bless you, .... you have a life long friend in Saku. 🌹👍
"Just lost a whopper. Let's see if we can get him to bite again." Very next second, a shot of bannock cooking over the fire all by its lonesome, saying all that needs to be said. Great editing! Enjoying the video immensely, I am.
So well edited Justin. Must've been such a hard thing to do. The hat is well and truly tipped to you sir; so hardcore. I raised a beer in honour of Saku, your good self, Scout (recently departed) and Joe. Very different people I know but tough times are tough times and we deserve to give each other solace and friendship, especially when things go South!! Much love indeed.
Holy shit Justin, my God! You are truly blessed my friend.
Omg, this was the most intense one, I could hear the fear in your voice. I am impressed by your ability to recognize the learning lesson. So relieved you were both ok.
Yes lad
Justin, my son!! Your one lucky boy. I've capitalized a canoe in a cold river, and I was minutes from home. I can't imagine what you must of felt, being out there.what a journe! I have to tell ya I'm enjoying the series more then most stuff I've seen. Great job man.
Thanks Brad you know how it is. All part of the adventure. Cheers
So glad Saku was OK. My heart jumped a bit wee there. Great series Justin, keep it up!
Thanks for watching Mr., catch ya in the next one
I love Saku thank god he was ok
Really, the best man and dog vs nature out there in the digital universe. Good music, too. Love it.
Glad both you and Saku are ok after that ordeal. I was on the edge of my seat.
Terrible dip, glad that worked out well.
Drop a radio 😂 what a time!
I'll be definitely wanting a copy of that book, Justin. You'll go down in Canadian history, Bud! That's for sure.
A man and his dog, pushing on.
As per the other four episodes, number 5 was a pleasure to watch. Adventure got REAL there buddy when the raft overturned, could have been a disaster in more ways than one. Your right , we all get complacent when we get comfortable in a situation, but these accidental events, remind us of the dangers everywhere. Keep up the adventures. Many of us, are using your eyes and experiences, to travel Newfoundland that many of us cannot do. Thanks Justin for letting us share the experience.
And I very much so look forward to the book....Go Habs!!!
Thanks Johnny i'll keep you all updated. Habs for life buddy
I cried when Saku was lost and I was happy when I saw the bears thank you for sharing all these emotions your adventure is beautiful 👍I follow you 🇫🇷 Al Bushcraft
Thank AL!
Ok, I thought by reading the comments in advance I was forewarned and braced for the unfortunate event, but as soon as I heard your heart wrenching sob for Saku, I began to cry. It seems his Kibbles made it through alright ;-)
saved this episode and 6 as I've a few days off work sat down tonight with the family (yes the whole family are watching) doesn't get better! I watched your live stream, the other week, so knew that you and Saku were ok, but when the raft tipped it didn't stop the shock, it goes too show how things can change in a split second, glad you were both ok. Thanks for bringing us with you on your journey.
The downside to your trip maybe the loss of your equipment but the upside is you found Saku down the river in 20 minutes I'm sure you're happy about that a nice trip thumbs up being in the tent with the snow coming down all cozy out there in the wilderness
The gear means nothing and Saku meant everything. Thanks for tuning in and commenting Brian, cheers. Justin
You had me in tears boys my gf walked in I had to pretend I had dirt in my eye , as soon as u screamed saku,s name I knew how serious she was
Longest 20 minutes of Justin’s life. Great video!
Wow all I can say is I know this is epic that's all I can say and it's thanks be to God you and your companion Saku survived, it's lent I gave up UA-cam for the week so I only watch videos on Sunday except for today is St Joseph's feast day. Bad things happen to good people that's just the way it is but God's watching over you.
That written invironment info is great. Like, I do have a sense of what a marsh is, but more precise info makes the video much more relatable. Great job man!
I‘m glad Saku is okay. He won‘t mind it much. Dogs live in the moment. But maybe you should think about a life vest for him, if you continue to do rapids with him.
Yeah for sure thanks for watching. It's a touchy subject with the life jacket on a river. If he gets caught in a recurculating hydraulic current and is wearing a life jacket he's pinned there. Without a jacket typically he would be shot out to safety. Hard to explain but my book this summer will go into much more detail. Thanks for the comment and concern
Loved this episode Justin!... I did have a legit panic attack started bawling and cried for the rest of the episode when the raft capsized and Saku was gone. I immediately thought of how I would feel if I would've been in that situation...my dogs are my everything... I can't even imagine how scared and upset you must've been before you found him. Glad you both made it out of that situation safe and unharmed. Can't wait to see the next three episodes! I'll definitely be picking up a few copies of Saku's children's book!
Thanks Amanda really appreciate you watching, hope all is well!
Thank God You 2 made it through that one, what an adrenaline rush that must have been.
So glad you and Saku are OK!
Wow, crazy episode bud. Kudos to you and Sak. I'm surprised u got him back in the raft at all. lol. I can only imagine Heathers thoughts when you told and showed her the video.
Justin man, this episode was great, that had me on the edge of my chair, what a great job you did staying as calm as you did. A shotgun and battery can be replaced, you and Saku can’t. A inexperienced person may not have survived this. Can’t wait for the next one
Absolutely, thanks Sean appreciate you tuning in buddy, cheers.
Waho gonna giver a watch here now,,,,,
Thanks Jim!
oh man oh man. So glad you are both safe. What a heart wrenching situations... I literally started crying for you man...
Absolutely loving your videos and thank you for taking us along...
WOW!!! What a rush .......! I'm so very happy that you and Saku are alive and well after that scare! Way to keep on keepin' on !
OMG! I was on the edge of my seat and actually had to skip ahead in the video to see if Saku was there before I could watch the rest. Glad you both made it though ok, good thing it was on the last leg of your trip! Congrats to you and Saku on your books! Thanks for sharing!
mother nature teaches patience.
Unbelievable. My heart sank when I heard the concern/panic in your voice after capsizing and losing Saku. So glad there was just some “minor” gear loss and not something worse. Stay safe out there. Cheers.
WOW! Bit tense there. You never know, one day you're catchin fish and relaxing around the fire and the next in an instant all can change. Way to keep it cool in that situation.
I'm loving every minute of your journey and the sceneries and sunsets are crazy beautiful. Loved the shot with the stars and moon at the setting.
Thanks again for taking us along Justin.
Keith
Appreciate you tuning in Keith!
Oh my gosh me and my dog Archie wow such a scary moment glad you are both ok 😅❤
Cold, wet, no fuel, little food. What's not to love when you got your best friend with you on a great adventure!
wow not only am I happy to see an upload from you after the month break but seeing that whole ordeal with you and sak making it out okay after the raft flipped was breathtaking. Almost couldn't believe what I was watching I had to rewind a couple times, a gut wrenching scary scene no doubt! So glad you and sak made it out okay AND continued on your way like champs!!! Seriously man continue to stay safe and I'm hoping many more blessing keep coming your way..
Thanks really appreciate that, cheers!
Man I could watch this forever- can’t wait for more across Labrador videos but for now this is definitely going to do
Best UA-cam video EVER! WOW, so glad Saku made it
