- I love the experience of solo traveling, what it offers me and how much I get to learn, but I often miss the experience of meeting other travellers. I was planning an episode of Arctic Grayling fishing, but the evening before hitting the water I saw an old school camper van pull into the campground. This late in the season, it is not common to see other traveler in such a remote spot, and on top of that, they were foreign. I was delighted to see them traveling remote, and even more delighted to see them just out right away and start fishing in the river.
Naturally, I offered them to come for a day of fishing on the river if they could wait until morning, and they happily accepted. Adam and Bianca are both from Australia, and are enjoying two years of traveling and working around Canada. Canada is becoming more popular as a travel destination, but meeting folks that far away from the closest town is very uncommon, so I knew right away they were folks I wanted to meet.
We headed out for our day on the water, and it didn't take long to start getting into fish. They were both in pursuit of their first Arctic Grayling, one of several bucket list fish for their time here, and it didn't take them long. In fact, by the time we left our first stop, we had all gotten into a couple. I can imagine their excitement, but for me it was priceless just to watch them fish and catch. I wish I could offer such an experience to every traveler, but I will always remember this trip.
We spent the day fishing and the evening sharing stories, but the following day it was time for us all to continue our travels. For me, that meant the final stretch to Yukon, where I can finally place a DA sticker along side all the others I have admired each year.

I had to stop the video half way through after you thanked us for viewing your videos. I don't think you understand how much we appreciate your artistic and loving view of bc and beyond. You Dustin bring the world to us each week in such a personal way that just goes beyond a simple video of a destination. You bring the stories, the life and the joy of the people who live in these places. And it's the stories, and landscapes and your passion for it all that gives us the viewers joy and frankly something to look forward to watching. We most of us will never get to go and do many things you do, this medium of yours blesses so many of us with the opportunity to go with you and experience these off the beaten path places right along with you! So thank you for blessing us with your enthusiasm and joy as you explore and film your experiences! Now I want to finish this video! Blessings!
Wow, this was incredibly nice to read. I feel very fortunate to be in a position to provide that enjoyment, and i sure appreciate you sharing that with me.
Here I sit in West Australia-Busselton, hearing the Aussie voices, of Adam & Bianca how lucky are we to once again share the adventure and the beauty of your country. Thank you so very much Dustin you make our hearts full with your generosity ❤
it is nice to have internet
Every episode keeps getting better and better, Dustin! Those opening shots are just crazy beautiful!
Thank you.
I agree. It's my 60th birthday today. What a beautiful video to the start of my day and the beginning of planning my future adventures. I get inspired with each video.
@@itsraining6449Happy birthday.
Couldn't agree more.
Happy Birthday @@itsraining6449
Dustin, thanks for reminding us fellow Canadians that while there are a lot of negative forces at work in our country, we as a country are generally good-willed and welcoming. Cheers and thanks for representing!
Adam and Bianca, thank you for reminding us, through fresh eyes, of the gems surrounding us, and within us. May Canada and Canadians always hold a special place in your heart. Safe travels wherever this post may find you.
In pursuit of 'not a lot of people but a whole lot of breathtaking wilderness' - Bianca and Adam know what's best 😊
I've said it a number of times, but it absolutely needs to be repeated; some of the best if not THE BEST overall production on this platform. The fact that you do it all on your own is truly amazing and displays your natural born talents. Thank you for the wonderful weekly escape.
Thank you so much :)
GOOD MORNING DUSTIN !
ITS MY SATURDAY MORNING SHOW ,THE BEST SHOW ON UA-cam ❤
Wow this really made me smile such a really cool people from down under and their story I'd fascinateding ❤ Absolutely loved all the beautiful filming you got and the trout 🎣 fishing was spot on riotous! The Resort I bet had some wild stories and the saloon too! It's places like this I like seeing so thank you again for a great show Dustin 😃 Have a great week friend and take care 🙂 See ya next week 🌲 🐻 🦌⛰️
🍻 😊
@@Destination_Adventure 🍻 👏 🍺 🍾 🥂 🎉 🥳 🎸 Congratulations dude you're dream Is real and it Rocks ! Don't forget about the podcast Wednesday where good info is exchanged like how you do some things and suggestions of info and such is always good ! Consistency is a key to success!
As travellers you hit the BC Jackpot bumping into Dustin and Destination Adventure ❤
That is a delightful compliment, thank you.
I was at junction 37 fuel station in late 1984 with my father on a hunting and fishing trip. I was 9 or 10 years of age at the time. I have pics of the place. We stayed there for 5 days as we hunted and fished at Killington Lake before moving on to Ross River for camping and fishing, then to Little Salman and then Carmacks. It was the best time of my life, and I'll never forget seeing my first salmon and first black bear.
im an adventure lover here in Texas and have been stopped from exploring because of health and finances over the past few years. its been a rough time and this show has a been really grounding and reminds me to be thankful. I appreciate your good heart and attitude my dude
You certainly have the film makers ( Fairy dust ) you apply to each video, I thoroughly enjoy each one. It was heart warming to see and hear about the Aussies you helped to see and experience BC. The reason you felt so privileged to help is giving is getting in return without expectation of receiving anything . It showed to me what a great human being you are.
I've traveled a lot in my 71 years but I can truthfully say the northwestern part of the world is the most beautiful. And I fine it a honor to watch your videos that you graciously share with everyone. Thank you so very much
I just can't wait to see where and what you are going to show us and teach us travel is hard for me physically due to my disability and that directly affects all other areas of my life. Watching your videos is something I really look forward to with a coffee and some quiet time. such a joy to me so thank you.
Same situation here these channels give me a taste of my dreams
Dustin my friend, you just keep blowing us away with your filming abilities, friendliness, adventurism, humour and kindness. Every week my wife and I look forward to our time with you. This video reminds me of how much we did not see when we lived up there and then to hear Adam & Bianca are from western Australia was neat, we used to live in Fremantle. We are now living in the north island of New Zealand so look out for some kiwis up there, there are bound to be some. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing and stay safe.
All of the beautiful scenery you captured perfectly. Bianca captured me when she was talking about visiting places with lots of people and how being out with nature is healing and relaxing. For me, there is something special about those who love to exist within nature without many people around. Something special exists. An awareness perhaps. Safe travels Dustin. Thank you for another wonderful Saturday morning with my coffee.
I am so grateful for your most beautiful footage and you have the best soundtract. I am 69 years old on the 24th of Novenber. You make my world so much better. To be able to see the places that I have only seen in pictures, but never been able to travel there. Thank you, you are a blessing. God bless you!
Thank you so much, this was really nice to read.
THIS. Grateful for it all. The breath taking landscapes, the stories told through interviews, the history, the images and song. THIS is my Saturday morning ritual. Often ending in tears of happiness, in awe of the beauty of this country through the content on your channel. Thank you.
I did the same type of trip in Australia for a year. Off the beaten track. Hitting many touristed but mostly untouristed areas of the country/continent. Best year of my life. Wonderful memories I will hold forever. Just like I know this couple will have about our Canada. Happy Trails.
I just listened to you "blab" about your career. I am joining the masses who say thank you for what you do. I live in the great Pacific North West and love every stream, woodland and moss covered path. My greatest days were spent next to a river with a book on the tailgate of my Bronco 20 years ago. Your videos not only bring me back to my home, but take me to places I dream about. I have never been to Alaska, however the Washington and B.C. San Juan Islands are my childhood escape. So, once again, Thank you and forever grateful.
Thanks once again Dustin.
Everyone should share, let's get this channel to 500,000 subscribers (for now, then on to a million)
Peace to all.
I appreciate that a lot, thank you. 😊. Every share helps.
The beautiful humanity in your videos gets me emotional every time.
She is right, "Canadian hospitality is real".
Hang on a minute Dustin while we dry our eyes ... Those glass lake shots with the mountains and pastel colored sky were breathtaking! The wife and I actually got a little emotional over the sheer beauty. And yes you do strike us as the perfect ambassador for Canada. Atta Boy ! You sure impressed that Aussie couple. Was fun to see the cruise ship stuff but the serenity of your scenic shots just gets better every segment. Till next one ... Thanks ! 👊😎👍
Wow, thank you so much. Very nice compliment.
@@Destination_Adventure No BS Dustin. Go back and watch some of your segments. Your work and eye for detail shines though.
Man, your channel is providing hope and inspiration to others to make their own adventure in life and enjoy nature in reality. Looking forward to it each time.
Good morning happy weekend everyone
Hello again from the Okanagan, thanks for taking us along once more. There are few things I find more rewarding than helping new people get started in outdoor activity. Kudos for taking them out. Thanks for stirring some memories as well, I caught my first Grayling in northern Saskatchewan in 1972. Safe travels.
“A UA-cam channel if you dedicated offers basically unlimited growth as a film maker “
That’s has to be the best quote !!!
Australian here, yes I am very thankful for your high quality content Dustin. Keep it up.
Hi from Monroe Georgia! It's always a special day to watch your videos! They are SOOOO thoughtful and always with great care, especially with native peoples lands and their cultural events. I'm always blown away at the reverence and special care you show for the areas you visit. The Hida Guia videos and the cultural things you were able to share were something most people will never get to experience and im ever so thankful for getting to experience the beauty you always offer us your viewers. My health prevents me from getting out and seeing the beauty of N. America, but through your videos I get to see more than I ever thought possible and for that I am ever so thankful. Dustin, I hope and pray that you're always safe and happy in the adventures you take on. Your videos mean that I get to go on adventures I never thought I would ever see since I'm stuck I'm my home and unable to tolerate more than a 30 minute car ride. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos, you are a remarkable young man who has the forethought to be respectful and show deference to the cultures you present to us. Happy trails and safe travels to you!
Thank you for such a nice comment.
Dustin, you are welcome! 😂
Seriously, I was crying with joy through half of this video. What a beautiful story in the best place on Earth. I totally relate to Adam & Bianca’s experience. I first learned about Canada when my aunt brought some travel brochures she picked up somewhere… I was about 12 and behind the Iron Curtain. The idea that I would one day live the dream was just so absurd… but if you keep the dream alive and you work on it, one day it will come true.
I am extremely fortunate to live here in BC, and to have found your channel that brings me to places I might never find the time to visit.
Thank you! ❤
How amazingly awesome that you could give that great couple such a bucket list and life-changing experience!
Thank you for sharing with us once again Dustin. 👌🏼 I am envious of your travels and can’t wait to see where you go next. 💪🏼
Beautiful work Dustin, we had huge smiles on our faces the whole way through, we love what you do, and we are happy to support you in every way we can.
Thank you. :)
Dustin, you deserve all the thanks and appreciation in the world! You’ve really helped all of your viewers more appreciative of ‘our world’ through your amazing work, it’s always interesting, exciting, thoughtful, respectful and mesmerizing. 😊❤
What beautiful scenery again. I can only see these places through you as I'm 72 now & will never see these on my own. So thank you for such beauty.
Don't ever let anyone or anything try to convince you that THIS is not what you're supposed to be doing with your life. Like I mentioned in an earlier comment, "You've got that needle riding deep in the groove." It's not so easy for someone so gifted to actually discover the gift. A lifetime for many is not long enough. You're there, my friend. I hope you're enjoying the ride and thank you sincerely for making room for all of us to come along.
That opening shot... Dustin, if I could paint, I'd paint it. The colour, the beauty... 😍! It was serendipitous that you found Bianca and Adam, and that they found you. It was a story meant to be told, and who better to tell it than you.
G’day Dustin, A tremendous channel of destinations you bring to us here in Wanniassa, Australia. As we will never have a chance to visit the land masses or waterways, your adventures take you because our time on this earth is rapidly drawing to a close; you are our eyes, ears and most passionate guide. We thank you sincerely for bringing us into your world of exploration and adventure.
Eagerly awaiting your video, our ears picked up the distinctive sound of fellow Aussies Adam and Bianca in your video. It's such a small world from when I first toured the UK and Europe in 1960.
Thank you very much :)
Love your videos
It’s great to see the shots and camera placement progressively get better through your videos, these are like movie quality.
He really has been actively working on the production quality. He is investing in himself, it really shows.
The Destination is the Adventure! You bring this into homes every week. Keep rolling! Thank you.
Puzzles! Puzzles! Puzzles! So many beautiful landscapes! So many gorgeous, vivid colors! You nearly brought me to tears, damn you!
Oh Dustin. You are so much better than simply UA-cam. You can do mighty things son. You have not even come close to your ceiling. Choose the mission. God's Blessings boy.
This comment is maybe less for you, Dustin, rather for anyone who reads this and has the slightest inkling to travel up there...just do it. It is as beautiful, the people are as nice, the adventure part is as thrilling as we see in these videos. I've "done" the Cassiar round trip twice and one way twice and I'd do it again if my wife allowed me.
This will be saved in my favorites. The mirrored images of the sky, some of the most gorgeous footage to date! If I have a down day, I will just tune in to watch this episode, and be instantly lifted. So grateful for all you share !❤
Thank you so much.
good morning y’all
Thank you for sharing Adam & Bianca’s story. Interesting that while they’re exploring the wilds of BC my sister & her husband are exploring the wilds of Australia! Like A&B, they’re seeing the Australia most tourists don’t see. They’re in “Channel country” and was in Birdsville, Queensland last week. They’re outdoor environmentalists too. 💞
Absolute cinematic beauty, and great stories too. Thank you for sharing your dream job with us.🌲🇨🇦🤙
Side comment….your videos though structured, are awesome because they are so random. The tire chain story is what makes your videos so special. You never need to add something at the end. The body of your video is what makes them so great to watch! Thank you for your hard work!!! 👍👍
What a special episode this is. Dustin, your sweet charm and generosity are so heartwarming. Canada should be proud of you!
Hey Dustin I love the channel. I'm a BC local as well, you do such a great job covering the history, culture and so much more.
I worked for Holland America Princess as well but I was a cook at the hotel in Dawson city. The videos you did in that area honestly brought me to tears seeing those paddlewheelers just off the river was an insane memory bomb. Thank you. If you ever make your way out to the Lloydminster ab area and want to explore some abandoned buildings and towns let me know.
Ps that drive up to the Yukon is so gorgeous I've gone both ways the Al-can and the dease lake highway a couple of times. If you get the chance to go to Liard hot springs I highly recommend it. It's a small fee to get into the park but the springs are nice and there is a gorgeous boardwalk out to the springs. Along my walk I saw a few moose walking along
See, Dustin, you inspire so many people. You gave these folks a gift by taking them out on your boat and doing some fishing. Keep up the great work with these videos. I'm right there with you and hope to be travelling in my mini bus soon.
Dustin my dude. These episodes are just levelling up each time you drop, absolutely sensational.
I'm pretty new to the channel but I've done a major deep dive as ive always been fascinated with the Pacific coast of Canada.
I hope to travel as you do one day. What a life you're living, tremendous work and effort you're putting into DA.
Inspirational brother!!
Thank you very much.
Dustin you are born for adventure and to showcase it in the way you do is overwhelming! I’m Scottish and lucky enough to enjoy beautiful scenery on my doorstep but it doesn’t come close to the sights you have shared with us. Good for you and keep doing what your doing!!
Dustin, the images you capture are amazing. Makes me miss the mountains but feels like I’m there though I’m so far away from them. This is not to take away from your story telling and research. Very genuine fellow!
Thank you for reminding us, even those of us lucky enough to call BC home, that we are all tourists if we want to be.
There are amazing places left for us to find and fall in love with around every corner...
Also, what a lucky couple to have our Dustin as their tour guide?! Jealous!
Dustin, your films are the best on YT, perhaps the best documentary series I have ever viewed. Thank you so much!
Here's another one. Thank you. I feel so grateful the I moved to BC 30 yrs ago and stayed. I have the same passion for the wild places. Beautiful.
You have no idea what your videos do for me. In the winter of my life as I watch all old friends pass away around me, you have brought me to places that I would have never seen and the beauty of Canada my!my! What can I say enjoy youth and grasp every moment of it will fleet faster than you think. Thank you for every one of your videos. God bless you.
Wonderful video. I'm BC born and raised and lived in Prince George for 4 years in my twenties. It's a beautiful part of the province. Thanks for your great work, I'm a regular watcher and always enjoy what you produce.
Your film making is excellent, and it seems a big part of that is your love for the craft and your interest in the subjects being portrayed. Keep on keepin on man, you seem to be someone who found the thing they’re supposed to be doing
This really is nice, thank you. I am passionate about the craft most.
Hi pal
My dad's currently in the advanced stages of cancer 😢 I introduced him to you're videos and he absolutely loves them he's now unable to watch them due to his progression . You've made a dying man very happy and I thank you for this . Keep up this good work

That is sad to hear, but I’m happy I was able to share some smiles. Sending all the best.
Thanks for another awesome trip around BC ! Also a big thanks to your parents for whatever they did raising you . There will always be a need for young men like you .
That is very nice, thank you.
So awesome you were able to show a couple fellow aussies a fantastic time in your home country. They'll remember that trip the rest if their lives.
What a lovely Aussie couple! And so awesome of you to show them our beautiful province and its fishing wonders! Another great video with gorgeous photography and drone footage. Dustin, you rock! 🥰
Dustin. You never disappoint. Brings back memories of our trip to the Yukon. Your photography is incredible. Thanks for taking us along.
Mr. N.G. never fail to amaze. Another fantastic video Dustin. Thanks for all you do. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻
I love seeing B.C. through the eyes of tourists, especially Aussies. I have lived in B.C. my entire life, and only seen maybe half the province, but when you grow up in the west Kootenay's just north of Kootenay Lake, you have enough outdoors and wilderness to keep you happy for many years. I love your videos! Happy travels.
I lived at Junction 37 in the late 80's. I hardly recognized any of it anymore. They must have changed a lot of the amenities in the 90s. Some of my best times were living there. Love your channel❤
Dustin, timing is everything. You are meant to be in the right place at the right time. This is how luck works. What perfect timing to meet that couple. BC is a place I have also had the privilege to explore, there is so much to see. You bring the rest of it home for me.
I put my sign up at Watson Lake at a base of a tree in the Sign Forest. Cedar by the Sea, Van.Is., BC. June 2023. Lovely video!
I can relate to her comment at the beginning about tourist traps. I've lived within a 4 hour drive from Jasper for over 50 years and still never been there. I'll take the remote backroads any day over the busy spots in any part of the world I travel to.
Thank you Dustin! I was hooked on your channel the first time I watched. You have a gift that brings beauty into our life with your adventures. You have a way of drawing us into your story and the film work is just stunning! Keep up the great work and know that you are reaching more than you can imagine!
Thank you very much, I really appreciate that.
I know I say it every video, but thank you, Dustin. Your videos are definitely a joy for me. We recently moved from Proctor, MN to Maple Grove, MN. To much city, but a necessary move. So, watching your videos and the beauty of the land and nature is food for my heart. Loved the interaction with the Australian explorers. Another great video. God's blessings and safe travels from Maple Grove, MN
I love waking up to watching one of your videos on a Saturday morning. This video made me so happy and proud to be a Canadian. Great start to my day! 🥰
Mate, It’s been a tough week here looking after Mum. She’s had a bad week, thus it’s been a struggle for me caring for her. I just woke up and hopped on UA-cam, completely forgetting it was Sunday here in Tassie and your vid was due. Very happy to get away from it all for 23 minutes. As always, brilliant. Thanks so much for what you do and all the effort you put in to make these vids so remarkable. Truly gifted, mate.
Rob, Tasmania
P.s. And I love your interviews. A couple of fellow Aussies made my day. A beautiful couple. So Aussie!
Such a great site. You can smell the freedom. Dustin is free and happy and he makes me free and happy...just briefly, but regularly. Great journies, great filming, great narrative, great vibes. We are brothers from another mother.
Free and happy, I think it’s important. :)
I’ve lived in BC all my life. My mom and dad took us on many camping adventures but never to the places you’ve been to. It’s too bad as dad would have loved those spots. I guess when you’re travelling with 5 little kids it’s hard to get to those places. Thank you for showing them to us.
Great video love seeing BC like this
Actually Dustin, I think I find your channel the most interesting and enjoyable channel on the Tube. I have travelled and worked in most of British Columbia and the Yukon also, and still find you showing me places i did not know about. Well done. Cheers
Your ability to capture the real beauty of all the nature you experience truly shows what an artist you are!!!!!!!
Thank you.
Love your films, your originality, your no plan plans. When I need to relax I always treasure the beauty and tranquility I find in your productions. Love the music you pick too. Be blessed!
I absolutely enjoy your videos! EVERY Saturday I wake up, make coffee and start your most recent video! I tell everyone that’ll listen to check your channel out. I sincerely appreciate your attitude and outlook! From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Thank you for the positive content. Keep up the phenomenal work.
Thank you so much. 😊
My bucket list just got a little bit longer! I have been on a Princess Cruise, did the inside passage to AK, it was an amazing experience. Not something I would do again because I enjoy driving too much but glad I had the experience for sure. Love your work Dustin,your humour and humility are both refreshing. Respect from Northern BC
From (13:05 to 13:45) THIS is 40 Seconds of the COOLEST Drone Footage I have EVER seen...PERIOD! 🔥
Thank you. :)
Dustin, with the amazing footage you gather, the editing and music and your commentary, you bring the beauty of the wilderness to life for those of us that can't go there. Thank you from N.Z
You’re very welcome. 😊
I love the channel! Mr. Porter, you are a great tour guide! I especially like the Dodge Rig. I had the identical truck with a flatbed. Never let me down! Keep on keeping on and I will continue to Like, Comment, and Subscribe always!
That one shot from the drone with the mountain in the background over the lake..
That mirror image was so serene and intoxicating.. 😁👍
Another great visit to the North with you and some new friends. It never gets old. Thank you again for my mini vacation.
Your are continuing your work started with Princess Cruise … bringing so many different facets of our beautiful country to all…the history…the beauty…the culture…the adventure. Thank you so much for being one of the brave to choose a lifestyle with so much freedom to bring inspiration to those of us not quite ready to take that same step…
Every week you bring me a way to see places I dream about seeing one day. Thank you!
What a lovely young couple. You can see joy was had by all. These drone shot are some of the best I have seen and they brought me joy.
You are very inspiring for us that can not go places you show every week. Thank you for the weekly trips.
Dustin, you are a blessing. I have seen everyone of your videos. Such a gentle, humble and honest soul is a very, very rare thing these days. God bless you and don't change a thing. Thank you - Bob
Thank you very much.
Beautiful.
Thanks again for the ride 👍
Absolutely LOVE your channel! Yours is one of only two channels I get notifications on so I never miss a post.
I'm so happy for all three of you that you were able to share a wonderful day. Adam and Bianca see like great folks.
You're a wonderful talented film maker and I am grateful to be a tiny part of keeping the beauty coming. Thank you Dustin!
Thank you very much.
The expression on her when she landed that fish around 6min mark was so priceless! I'm glad these folks got to scratch off some items on their bucket list.
I agree. This channel is the pinnacle of your career (thus far). The cinematography and stories you tell with it just blow my mind sometimes. They say the camera can never capture the real beauty of a place, but you sir come the closest I've ever seen.
Thank you very much.
Just beautiful. I love spending my Saturday morning watching your video's. Thank you for sharing.
As a long-time subscriber, I love seeing not only the advancements in the quality of your filming, but also your conversation with viewers. You talk to us as though we're right there with you, our tour guide. We're not just watching a documentary, we're on an adventure.
Good job Dustin.
So awesome you could give those Aussies that experience. Aussies rule! And your drone footage this episode was maybe the most spectacular I've ver seen. Just amazing!!!
