This is it this is the one I've been waiting for. I spent a little bit of my childhood at this camp I wish I could put a photo It was truly one of the best things ever Thank you so much we're going to be spreading my father's ashes there 1 day I have to make time to go with my brother Thank you again . love and respect
Love these so much. Every time I have been injured in the wilderness was because I made a bad decision. Crossing those logs by yourself in the middle of nowhere might be considered one. It’s fun until it ain’t. Please be careful. None of us would have cared if you didn’t cross them.
I've learned more about the history of this province from your youtube channel than any other source. You're a national treasure. Can't wait to see the next episode of "Canadian Heritage Minutes" with Dustin Porter.
Did I tell you that you are the best. Did I tell you that your are my favorite on UA-cam? Did I tell you before that some of your video's make me cry out of joy to what our creator has given us and how you capture it so wonderfully? The way you place camera angles, the video, the music, your commentary are simply exceptional. I give a lot of comments on UA-cam, most are critical sorry to say, but yours. Oh My GOD, they are magnificent. Are you getting offers from networks? You should be. I started watching your content when I wanted to learn more about Canada, but your content is WAY beyond that. It is inspirational, its nature at its finest, and it inspires us all to get out there. Again, thank you for what you provide. Sometimes folks do not hear that much. Sincerely, Leslie.
Couple of things here. At 11:41 I believe the wood would be part of the cab for the steam locomotive. Usually the inside of steam locomotive cabs were painted green because its a calming colour. At 12:51 it is quite hard to tell but I think the picture actually shows an old wooden boxcar. Some passenger cars did look like that but they were the really old ones and they were quite small. At 13:09 that would be the frame of a railcar though I am not sure what kind. At 13:22 I don't think thats a smokestack at least for a steam locomotive. The smokestack on steam locomotives were usually made out of cast iron. At 13:48 most traincars were built out of wood in the early days because wood was relatively strong for its weight and especially in the forest where there is lots of it the wood was much cheaper than steel railcars. At 16:16 I'm not too sure what that cylinder is but my best guess is an air reservoir for the air brakes on trains. The locomotive would have an air compressor to keep the reservoir pressurized and if the engineer wanted to slow the train down with the brakes he/she would release some of the air and that would apply the brakes. At 16:52 those are wheels and and one of the trucks or bogies that the train car would sit on. At 12:48 something quite interesting. That is a split knuckle coupler. They were made to be compatible with another coupling system called link and pin couplers so you could have one railcar with the knuckle coupler and another with a link and pin coupler and you could still use them together. Some quite interesting things here and I hope this little bit of info helps you out
Awsome episode Dustin.! My grandfather, we called him Pa Pa, was a forestry locomotive engineer, so the train stuff surely stirred something in me. There definitely are some of those specially designed forestry locomotives in Cowichan. Some are static, whereas a few are maintained to operational condition. Anyone interested in that sort of thing, B.C. Forest Discovery Centre, in Duncan, on Vancouver Island is where the locomotives you mentioned can be found.
Yet again another great episode, Dustin, thanks for all the vicarious adventures. In 1958 our family moved up to Alliford Bay ( I was 11) At that time it was to be a logging camp for Powell River Timber after Aero closed down but the interesting thing about the place for an 11 year old kid was that it's very recent past was an RCAF amphibious aircraft base. Large concrete ramps ran down into the bay, there were 2 big hangers and barracks + married quarters. There were gun emplacements in the hills around the place. I spent hours exploring everything I could find. It never really became a permanent camp after Mac & Blo took over. Dad worked for CZ (Northern Pulpwood) in Sandspit. Lived there for the 3 years of our time in Haida Gwaii. Disclosure. some of the facts may be not exactly right as that was 65 years ago!} Cheers from Sointula
Can't really see you grumpy. Don't get me wrong we all can get that way but I am sure you aren't bad. Now Mick maybe could get a little alcohol induced attitude but we all can. Thanks for another winner. I've been rewatching old videos of yours for over 4 hours. Actually found two that I somehow missed. Glad I went back. Some of my favorites I could watch 100 times. You are amazing!!!
It's amazing to what lengths they had to go to to get to the areas that held the raw resources to build things. I did enjoy your walk across the two trees. However, I held my breath and was so glad you are so sure footed because of the remoteness you were in. Loved this series. Your work is so professionally done, and you truly capture the beauty and history that you have available to you. Thank you again, Dustin, for this adventure. God's safety and blessing on you from Proctor Minnesota!
Great episode, so much history in such an out of the way place. I’m always amazed at how Mother Nature reclaims her area once man has left it . Thanks for the ride along .
Another ripper adventure. Thanks Dustin. I love finding the remnants of past lives in the bush like that. We have a strong industrial mining and logging history here in Tasmania, and the lengths and effort they went to back in the day is mind blowing. Such hard work! Thanks again for another beaut story. Rob, Tasmania, Australia
Good morning from the cool south Okanagan, it's 4 here this morning so fairly brisk. Thanks for taking us along again, it's interesting to see some of the off the main trail spots you've brought to us. We camped at Gray Bay for a week when we were there in the early 90's and it never rained once, so our memories of Haida Gwaii are unusually dry and very pleasant. All the best and safe travels.
I'm so glad this video was up this morning I sure didn't need to take one of your calming trips. I know how tough it is to traipse through the woods call grass and mud in the face. Thanks for taking me along. These these Adventures you take believe it or not or so calming to the heart and nerves. Thank you for doing what you do!!! .
I think you need a pair of goggles Now that would be fuuuunnny when you removed them after this ride. Once again great job you have made my day again There’s a great railway museum in prince George ( which you may already know about ) most rail cars where made of wood. Thank you again for the history ❤
Man, another great video, Dustin! Such a beautiful place and the history is really neat. I can only imagine what's buried beneath all that moss! I can't wait for the next one!
This is one of my favourite episodes yet Dustin. Thanks again. I really enjoy that you don’t just show us a location, you research the history and really create an experience for your viewers.
You definitely need to return for more exploring. You could spend an entire season checking out spots on Haida Gwai and still only scratch the surface. Another amazing video. Thanks Dustin it brings back many memories.
Really enjoyed these episodes. Always good to see back home really good seeing all the different stuff that you show of the North true northern boy walking across the logs like that. Wishing you and yours the very best in life. Can't wait to see what's next! Have a great week. Take care
I can't believe you're leaving already! Definitely have to go back! I'm still anxiously awaiting to hear about what you discovered under the trees that made you back away. :)
What an amazing find! So incredibly beautiful these places you find. It’s also telling how we pull into magnificent places Reep $& Pillage and pull back out leaving all behind to😢 Rot. But you show Natures power to Recover. Even if it takes 100 years. 😮You Rock Dustin ✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️
Dustin! FANTASTIC! As usual!!! Saturday morning is the best with destination adventure! I love your excitement about everything. The whole place is so beautiful
Great stuff Dustin ! You know I was imagining what it must of been like back then with all the sounds and sights of all that heavy equipment and men working up there ,what an exciting time that must of been ! I want to thank you for checking out and sharing all of this from Haeda as this brings back so many great memories and a deeper insight of all the islands ,what a fascinating experience this has been and I'm so looking forward to your next adventures abound good friend ,Aloha to you and Mick eh 😊 🌴
Another great episode!! And yes, a return visit would be wonderful. I'm sure there's tons more to explore. And, ah, by the way, I have to admit I agree with PauliG about crossing the logs. Maybe it's because I bear the injuries accumulated over years of invincibility.
I have been following your Chanel since you went under just your name, & definitely one of my favorites. This trip into Allison camp was awesome. My mother ( in West Vancouver ) has/had a neighbor attached to that concern & passed along a DVD to me several years ago, that included a lot of their rail log footage. It didn't have any audio, but l later found it on UA-cam with commentary. So cool to see it now, & so glad you did this & shared it. And as a side note, your adventure to the "forgotten lands" was also a real inspiration. I can't wait to visit those grasslands for ourselves ! Many thanks, long may your adventures continue !
Excellent footage and surreal surroundings. Crazy to think what it would have looked like during peak logging operation. Thank you for another adventure filled with amazing scenery, historical relics and top notch production.
Repeat trip for sure!! This place is magical!!! As are most places you go lol…. I think it’s endearing how you consciously try not to get grumpy… we could all learn from that… thanks again for taking us along on your adventures!! 🩶🩶🩶
I was so excited to see this video! I got to see Arrow Camp in my teens ('90's) and have been telling my train obsessed son about it for years. Thank you so much for this adventure!!!!
This area is so neat looking! The woodsy, rainy, foggy and somewhat eery feel is fascinating. It's amazing how what was once a bustling operation has been claimed by nature.
This was one of the coolest videos I have seen in a long time! Such beauty! And seeing stuff that was amazing along with your narrative! Thank-you so much!
What a great adventure Dustin! Thanks for the history lesson , so much of this this beautiful province holds lost history that you bring to light for us. Iam going to pour another coffee and re watch this again! Cheers and safe travels 👍🇨🇦
Once again, poking your nose into everywhere that most of us will never see. That is why I enjoy your channel so much. Happy New Year, Dustin! Keep'em coming!😁
Do you mark your trail for a way back? Or do you just wing it? What about grizzlies? Do you have bear spray or a weapon of some kind? Do I sound like an old mother?!!! Just worried about you!(A little bit!). Love the mossy surroundings and great walks! Cheers,Sandy& Andy❤
Starlink passed overhead here in Michigan the past week.What a sight to behold!!! Glad u have access to it now, and as always keep leaving footprints and show us the pics and vids!!!! Such an inspiration my friend.
Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventure! Your video displays just how transient we are and everything else is in the life. We are all pre-ash, longing for that which is eternal.
It incredible what is still to be going out there! Another great video Dustin! But I am in agreement with others when we say do not cross those logs when you are by yourself. We still want some videos from you.
its crazy what salt air will do! up in Maine USA a logging company abandoned some steam trains of roughly the same vintage which are away from the ocean, and they are still almost 100% complete.
Just frickin WOW, what an adventure, all the time watching I was wishing I could be there with you... just frickin WOW, thanks for the great video, Dustin.
Our TikTok FYP are sounding pretty different LOL I would love to see you go back and explore more of the islands. Your last shot arriving back to the truck 🤣🤣
Your vids have it all: amazing views, history, fun, interesting people and places we will only ever see thanks to you. A reason we look forward to watching, every weekend. Thanks for all the work and effort!!
I'm a little behind on your videos. Got some catching up to do. Wowwww, you find the most awesome places to explore and love that you take us along on our journeys. Thank you Dustin. Always look forward to watching what you'll find next. Love it!! Also, love your music choices!!!
Fascinating episode. Amazing how much the salt water and wind has affected the rate of decay. The post apocalyptic appearance is truly humbling. Not much plastic back then though, so much less survives the test of time. Take care mate.
Thanks for bringing us that story, the rich history moves on. Who would think that the mosquito bomber/fighter owes it’s existence to an old lumber camp in British Columbia
Great video as always. What a fascinating place! Just a quick note, on every train rail like every 10’ or so, they put what steel mill it came out of and the year it was made. The earliest I’ve ever found was 1894!
Great find , this is my kind of history , I just love old abandoned RR grades and old camps ! Sometimes following RR steel I find a gold mine but most times not but I keep searching!
When I saw the 'freckle' face at the very end I just knew old 'Mick' had found you and was up to his usual shenanigans ! You do find some really out of the way places. Very interesting.
Have always lived your vids, but they keep getting better and better as time goes on! Not only am i always entertained by your adventures and educated about the gorgeous areas you visit , but your vids also relax me with the beautiful music you select and the gorgeous shots you get for your 'b' roll. ☺ Stay safe, and enjoy wherever you're headed next after beautiful Haida Gwaii.
I'd give you $100 a day, to take me on a couple week adventure. That kindnof nature (and the historical part too) just speaks to my soul. I was born and raised in Texas, but for as long as I can remember those ancient mountains and (rain)forests have just....moved me.
Love these adventure videos in the Pacific West. This segment was particular interesting to me. I worked as a forester out of Jackman, Maine. The logging mill had steam logging trains running in the 1910s to the 1920s. I would follow the tracks and find RR spikes, all kinds of camp stuff, octagon shaped telephone line ceramic insulators, and some rails. No remnants of steam engines, but just being there was the thrill of it. Thanks for sharing.
This is it this is the one I've been waiting for.
I spent a little bit of my childhood at this camp I wish I could put a photo It was truly one of the best things ever
Thank you so much we're going to be spreading my father's ashes there 1 day
I have to make time to go with my brother
Thank you again .
love and respect
Love these so much. Every time I have been injured in the wilderness was because I made a bad decision. Crossing those logs by yourself in the middle of nowhere might be considered one. It’s fun until it ain’t. Please be careful. None of us would have cared if you didn’t cross them.
100% I have fell, n I grew up in the woods, fell off a slick log n a stick went up my arse . Very lucky..
Risk it for a biscuit 🍪
Stick in your arse isn't lucky haha
@@gorillagoldhunters ???🤔🤔I don't get it? Where you lucky the stick went up your arse?🥸😵💫
i just kept thinking what if he fell thats is at least 20 feet in the air
I've learned more about the history of this province from your youtube channel than any other source. You're a national treasure. Can't wait to see the next episode of "Canadian Heritage Minutes" with Dustin Porter.

This video perfectly documents Nature claiming back what was taken from it. Cool episode Dustin!
Good morning hope y'all have a wonderful weekend.
Just another fantastic video Dustin. Hard to believe all this equipment is just left to rot away. Thanks for all your hard work. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻
Great episode, so much history in such an out of the way place. I’m always amazed at how Mother Nature reclaims her area once man has left it . Thanks for the ride along .

That place looks like something out of Avatar. Beautifully done Dustin, thanks so much for bringing this history into our homes.
I always enjoy your adventures! Nature truly does take over doesn’t it. Still such a beautiful island! Thanks for sharing. 😊

I can't wait for the next one!
Love the videos. My children and I love learning history and seeing place we would never likely see. As a father I love the dad jokes too.
Not only do I always enjoy your adventures but I also enjoy your soundtracks. Thank you for this joy.
This is one of my favourite episodes yet Dustin. Thanks again.
I really enjoy that you don’t just show us a location, you research the history and really create an experience for your viewers.
Oh heck yes. I definitely believe another visit here is warranted.

Willing to loose sleep just to watch another adventure with you. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Stay safe and thanks again.
Checks in the mail! Wow, I could have never walked over those logs! Awesome skills and balance Dustin!
Excellent adventure. I love how you incorporate as much history as you've researched.
Someone owes you two hundred bucks. Great video, watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅 No Snow Just Breeze !
Dustin! FANTASTIC! As usual!!! Saturday morning is the best with destination adventure! I love your excitement about everything. The whole place is so beautiful
Love your sense of humor and the adventure…safe travels!
Great stuff Dustin !

Kinda funny and cool how mother nature takes back what we take (and make) from her.
There’s always something/someone lost when something is gained in the name of progress. Neat video Thanks for sharing
Well done Dustin! Your capture of history is amazing, take care!
If I'm out and about, I watch you on the phone but when I get home I do a repeat on the big screen. That stump became huge!
As always, you never disappoint. Thank you for another amazing adventure.
Thank for that my friend, you are taking us to places that the majority of us will never have the chance to visit. Much respect.
Another great episode!! And yes, a return visit would be wonderful. I'm sure there's tons more to explore. And, ah, by the way, I have to admit I agree with PauliG about crossing the logs. Maybe it's because I bear the injuries accumulated over years of invincibility.

I can't wait to watch this!!!
These are the best videos on UA-cam or TELEVISIONS ❤
Thank you so much.
It's amazing how Mother Nature reclaims the land back. Great video and history lesson. Thank you 8-)
I was so excited to see this video! I got to see Arrow Camp in my teens ('90's) and have been telling my train obsessed son about it for years. Thank you so much for this adventure!!!!
This area is so neat looking! The woodsy, rainy, foggy and somewhat eery feel is fascinating. It's amazing how what was once a bustling operation has been claimed by nature.
This was one of the coolest videos I have seen in a long time! Such beauty! And seeing stuff that was amazing along with your narrative! Thank-you so much!
Another outstanding adventure. Haida Gwaii fascinates me, so thank you for allowing us to join in the adventure without having to get wet! ❤
What a great adventure Dustin! Thanks for the history lesson , so much of this this beautiful province holds lost history that you bring to light for us. Iam going to pour another coffee and re watch this again! Cheers and safe travels 👍🇨🇦
Another amazing video Dustin! Nice to see your smile today!❤❤❤
Once again, poking your nose into everywhere that most of us will never see. That is why I enjoy your channel so much. Happy New Year, Dustin! Keep'em coming!😁
Do you mark your trail for a way back? Or
do you just wing it? What about grizzlies?
Do you have bear spray or a weapon of some
kind? Do I sound like an old mother?!!! Just
worried about you!(A little bit!). Love the mossy
surroundings and great walks! Cheers,Sandy&
Andy❤
thanks for the great adventure! you do good work sir, dont stop!
Great video on the old camp. Interesting story about the place too. Thanks for sharing and have a great day👋
Starlink passed overhead here in Michigan the past week.What a sight to behold!!! Glad u have access to it now, and as always keep leaving footprints and show us the pics and vids!!!! Such an inspiration my friend.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventure! Your video displays just how transient we are and everything else is in the life. We are all pre-ash, longing for that which is eternal.
It incredible what is still to be going out there!
Another great video Dustin!
But I am in agreement with others when we say do not cross those logs when you are by yourself. We still want some videos from you.
Dustin,
Thanks for taking us along. What a beautiful place and then the history. Wow. I would like to see Mick help out a bit more, Boe
its crazy what salt air will do! up in Maine USA a logging company abandoned some steam trains of roughly the same vintage which are away from the ocean, and they are still almost 100% complete.
Just frickin WOW, what an adventure, all the time watching I was wishing I could be there with you... just frickin WOW, thanks for the great video, Dustin.
That trip was really cool. I liked the scenery very much too!
As always Dustin, Glorious!!! Thanks man. Respect
That’s awesome Dustin, I’m a railroader myself and this video is amazing.
Way to man...I LOVE the Channel and LOVE tuning in Each week to learn more of what you come across and of what you discover. Keep up teh GREAT Work!
Thank you very much.
Our TikTok FYP are sounding pretty different LOL I would love to see you go back and explore more of the islands. Your last shot arriving back to the truck 🤣🤣
To the untrained eye it might be "just rock" but to us rock connoisseurs they're antique rocks. Ha ha love the videos
Love these videos, thanks for putting them out there. I love videos where I feel like I'm experiencing the trip with folks, you nailed it.
Thanks again for the ride 👍
* RUST NEVER SLEEPS ! 🤭 Another great informative vid. Thanks Dustin. 👊😎👍
Your vids have it all: amazing views, history, fun, interesting people and places we will only ever see thanks to you. A reason we look forward to watching, every weekend. Thanks for all the work and effort!!
I appreciate that very much, thank you.
Your face near the end told the whole story. Make sure you wash behind your ears like your momma taught you! Lol!!!! Great job, loved the video.
I'm a little behind on your videos. Got some catching up to do. Wowwww, you find the most awesome places to explore and love that you take us along on our journeys. Thank you Dustin. Always look forward to watching what you'll find next. Love it!! Also, love your music choices!!!
Well aren't you a hidden gem. Thank you for making the time to put this together.
Love the Haida Gwaii adventures. Good with me, if you make more adventures there. Such magnificent landscape.
Thank you again. I love all your videos. You rock. Keep up the great work. 😊
Thank you.
Fascinating episode. Amazing how much the salt water and wind has affected the rate of decay. The post apocalyptic appearance is truly humbling. Not much plastic back then though, so much less survives the test of time. Take care mate.
Thanks for bringing us that story, the rich history moves on. Who would think that the mosquito bomber/fighter owes it’s existence to an old lumber camp in British Columbia
Pretty awesome!! Wish I was hiking with ya. I love exploring and old history too. Glad I found this channel. I'll be watching more of them
Great video as always. What a fascinating place! Just a quick note, on every train rail like every 10’ or so, they put what steel mill it came out of and the year it was made. The earliest I’ve ever found was 1894!
Great find , this is my kind of history , I just love old abandoned RR grades and old camps !
Sometimes following RR steel I find a gold mine but most times not but I keep searching!
thanks for another great one, having grown up on the coast when I saw you head out without any rain gear I was impressed with your bravery
When I saw the 'freckle' face at the very end I just knew old 'Mick' had found you and was up to his usual shenanigans ! You do find some really out of the way places. Very interesting.
Your videos are always so entertaining and informative. Thanks for sharing your experiences and entertaining us. Keep going brother, you rock.
Have always lived your vids, but they keep getting better and better as time goes on! Not only am i always entertained by your adventures and educated about the gorgeous areas you visit , but your vids also relax me with the beautiful music you select and the gorgeous shots you get for your 'b' roll. ☺ Stay safe, and enjoy wherever you're headed next after beautiful Haida Gwaii.
Thank you
Dustin I love hearing about the history of the places you go to. Thank You.
I'd give you $100 a day, to take me on a couple week adventure. That kindnof nature (and the historical part too) just speaks to my soul. I was born and raised in Texas, but for as long as I can remember those ancient mountains and (rain)forests have just....moved me.
Definitely worth a repeat visit. Such a beautiful place.
I love these videos. Always great locations and very informative. Plus you make them funny 🤣 Keep it up
Love these adventure videos in the Pacific West. This segment was particular interesting to me. I worked as a forester out of Jackman, Maine. The logging mill had steam logging trains running in the 1910s to the 1920s. I would follow the tracks and find RR spikes, all kinds of camp stuff, octagon shaped telephone line ceramic insulators, and some rails. No remnants of steam engines, but just being there was the thrill of it. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Decay! Sad to see the state of the once mighty Steam Engines 🙂what a great adventure!
Great exploring trek, looking forward to the next adventure. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
