- Bears are a factor in every day life if you choose to travel in the north, especially if you are going remote. Many. people avoid locations, specifically because of the fear of bears, but they will be missing the best parts. This was my first visit to the south end of Work Channel, British Columbia and wow was it ever beautiful. I have covered more than half of the channel, but coming in from the mouth, and the entire area is spectacular. We had some amazing whale encounters on the other end of the channel, and now this visit brought us some of the best grizzly bear viewing I have ever seen. These bears out here rarely see humans, so they are both fearful and curious. The mom and cub that we saw several times, were very fearful of the boat and ran right away. The boars on the other hand were much more curious. The one that was so close to camp could not have cared less about us from the boat. I yelled, and he wouldn't even look up. Once on shore though, he was much more curious. I went down to the waterline to take some photos, though still plenty far away, and as soon as he saw me, he was on route. At first just walking, and my yelling did nothing to deter him. I was not far from camp, so I knew it would be safe to maintain a quick pace for the short jog back, but I was surprised to look back and see that his pace had also increased to match mine. I kicked it into high gear and got myself back to safety, but it wasn't long until he was right in camp with us. We did scare him off, and every day we saw the bears from the boat we would just talk to them a little bit. This sounds strange, but it does help them understand the boundaries of the area. Theres a lot of forest out there, and bears would really prefer to be away from humans, so if you let them know you're there, they will mostly stay away. All in all we had an amazing stay, but the only thing Work Channel has never provided me, is Shrimp or Crab. I have tried at both ends, but success has yet to be found.
Until the next time, thank you Work Channel.

I've rarely got something to say about your exceptional films because so many others say it much better than I could. But I have to say that your lingering shot of the trees and mountains in that exquisite light with a white bird crossing broke me.
Broke you in a good way I hope. lol. Thank you for enjoying 😊
You said it beautifully friend
Stunning .. just stunning. Thank you.
That little guy peeking out from the log....... be still my heart!!! ♥
The people who say "be still my heart" in such situations are my kind of people's.
Such a cute Puppy! 😅
That was sooooo cute .
The truck is not leaking oil, it is just rust proofing itself!
Horsepower leaking out. That Cummins is just sweating.
If the leak stops. You need to top it up.
I love it , positive outlook.
Thank you for bringing us into a living Bob Ross painting.
He couldn't have put that split mountain in a better spot.
Love your videos so much. Im moving back to Rupert after 26 years of being in Vancouver (grew up in rupert) and your videos make me feel at home again. Thanks for showcasing the beauty of the north so well.
Saturday is the best UA-cam day. Foresty Forest and Destination Adventures. Both showcasing our most amazing British Columbia. As always, your video was totally WOW. Never get tired of the scenery. Fun seeing all the griz. We had our first in person encounter since moving to the Kootenays with mummy griz and two cubs last week on a bike ride. Had a good chuckle watching Dustin do the Superman crab pot retrieval. And nice to see Emi at the helm. Thanks so much for this!
Very nice comment, thank you.
We need to rename this channel...Destination Enjoyment!
I enjoy every one-liner, chuckle, and misadventure you skillfully video for us Dustin.
Dustin, we so love your videos and the wonderful scenery you show us. You're the best producer of wilderness videos. ❤
Thank you
There is a reason why the vehicle license plates have BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA on them! We need to appreciate and respect this awesome place. Another great show, thanks.
It’s like watching Bob Ross when you show the clips with just your soft music in the background. Absolutely magnificent! We need to enjoy this everyone as I’m sure Dustin will be signed by some mega million dollars company soon. You’re amazing Dustin!
That’s very nice to say, thank you.
Technology is such a double edged sword sometimes but the ability to get the close ups of the grizzlies with the drone is priceless. They don’t have a clue what that thing is and it’s funny to see. Great vid as always !
You are such a talented film maker and storyteller. Thank you for taking us along.
Thank you so much.
Having grown up in Prince Rupert and had the good fortune of having the time, health and fitness to explore a lot of the lakes, creeks, ridges and mountainsides around Work Channel, I feel incredibly blessed. In winter, I've ski toured a bunch up Skip Mountain just west of the beginning of the Work Channel road. Such a unique, mostly unspoiled neck of the woods and in all my time hiking, canoueing and ski touring around that area, never ran into another soul apart from the trusty companions I was with. Paradise.
Dustin has the best editing and with that comes music, that is what gets me is how well you tie music with emotion, I am at a loss for descriptive words. The Best!
Oh Dustin, another fantastic episode. The combination of scenery, humour, and your top notch editing just never let me down, but this one was just that much more special. The scenes of the granite rock coming out of the mist, or how you caught the Grizzlies doing what they do. The Provincial Government should be sending you 5 or 6 digit figures for the promotion of this great place we live....but I know that's not the point. Still, so happy you've been able to capture the magnificence of it all and share with so many that will never see the places you go. Thank you.
Thank you very much. 😊
Freakin great episode! Empty pots and full hearts surrounded by priceless nature. Great work adventurers!!!
The Girl with you is Beautiful very Beautiful have a nice trip!!
Sealife is so weird! That little crayfish, what a star!
The bears looked like they had just woke up! Great shirt at the end!
These videos just keep getting better and better. I could watch videos of the places you film for hours upon hours. It is so pristine and beautiful up there.
Thank you
Up late on a Saturday night in Australia, dont mind the fact that I'm at home in the warmth watching Dustin adventuring in spectacular surroundings. Love your work mate, keep up the awesome journey. Life is a highway. ❤ 😊 🇦🇺
Saturday morning coffee and Destination Adventure. A great way to start the weekend. Thank you for another great video. I am so thankful for you taking us to see all of these amazing places.
G'day Bloody great idea Steve! Jim in the Outback of West Aus.
Good morning jim, it’s amazing how far reaching this channel is. From Oregon all the way to the outback.
Fantastic footage of the bears and scenery
Every time I watch your channel -videos friend it makes me want to visit Canada such a beautiful country please keep the great videos coming friend. From Scotland 😊🎉🎉
By far and away some of your most exquisite work Dustin! Truly breathtaking!
@@johnjensen8470 thank you very much. 😊
Outstanding video of the Grizzlies just beautiful!! and drone views just amazing!! Thank you!!
Watching the cub play peekaboo from behind the log with your drone ... has to be the sweetest thing I've ever seen. And I'll never get enough of your scenic shots. They make my jaw drop every time, so unbelievably beautiful, calming, almost serene. How is it that Nat. Geo. isn't beating down your door to get those shots from you, I'll never understand.
Greetings from Terrace, Awesome episode great work and TY for sharing.
Your videos are ALWAYS so calming to my soul,no matter how chaotic life gets. Thank you..
Work Channel is absolutely magnificent. It just takes me back to Jackman, Maine and all the high country that surrounds it; Boundary Bald Mtn, Sandy Bay Mtn, and Slidedown Mtn were my office for 9 years. Yeah wild country. No grizzies, but Black Bear for sure. The only way you'd see them is driving down a logging road, come around a curve and BAM, there it is staring at cha. A second later, POOF, its gone.
Love these episodes of Work Channel. It sounds like it was maybe a logging area.
Best to you and Emmy (she perks up the channel)
What a blessing to find your channel and words fail to express my gratitude for the beauty of creation you have shared with us. Glorious! I do not blame the bears desiring to hang out with you both...I envy them. 🥰
Cheap yoga mat for working under the truck in a parking lot. Pro tip. Amazing video mate, just beautiful
Great idea.
Wow..... Spectacular imagery in the drone video Justin, that is Award winning worthy Justin. Every bit as good as Wings over Canada, thank you.
Your drone footage is nothing short of amazing, you are right, there is no place like B.C. (Being born on Vancouver Island and vacationing all over B.C. I just realized we have everything in this province that you could want) keep up the good work your channel is awesome.
Thank you.
Absolutely stunning, world class scenery. Expertly filmed, Porter is a talented man. Just cant get enough of this content.
I appreciate that, thank you.
Such a beautiful place, I can’t imagine how peaceful you must feel. Wow to the bears, they are smart.
At 23:40 looks like you caught a Squat Lobster. :) It wears it's name well, lol.
What a lovely Saturday morning with Destination Adventure and Ms. Emi. Much love!
Thank you for what you do. My wife and I do a small youtube channel. 50+ years around the sun. This video is amazing ❤ This one spoke to me. Thank you so much❤
Thank you 😊
Yep. The mighty 12 valve is a legendary engine! Forever engine!
Wow! The drone is such a wonderful piece of technology to get amazing images and leave the wildlife basically undisturbed. Love it!
Looks Excellent.
Reef knot is simple and very Secure connecting two ropes together.
Nice going ✊
The scenery is amazing every time love it Dustin. It been awhile since I on the west coast to cook on one of the training vessels for the navy and the mountains the mist the rain is breathtaking every time. Keep up the great work. If ya catch fish/ crab all the time we wouldn't hear you great jokes. Emmi great boat driving an I am happy to hear you are loving the adventure and all it entails. Cheers from the east coast.
I heard so much about Work Channel I convinced hubby to drive in. The potholes were endless! It took us an entire hour to go 10 km. For sure I thought we were going to be the only ones there but we broke out to the channel to find motorhomes, trucks and boats everywhere. Hardier souls than me! This was pre-landslide closure days.
Ha ha.. stalking and recording grizzlies by drone. Awsome footage Dustin, and safer than up front in person!
Emmy is bringing a great balance to the videos, in my opinion. Such a beautiful landscape you are exploring.
🍻 😊
You have graced us with another stunning view of the beauty of this world. Thank you so much.
Wow! What a great time watching! Thank you!!
Another incredible episode if there was a UA-cam award for cinematography you would own it, crack on .❤
Thanks for another great adventure on a Saturday morning. Best of luck to you and Emmy 😁
Great video as always!!! Those bears checking out your drone were all like WTF IS THAT??? Spectacular footage as always!!!
Truly a fabulous episode. Great job capturing such a stunning place. You are doing life really really well.
Awesome in the true sense of the word. Thank you Dustin for adding one more location to my bucket list!
Your Chanel is awesome. I worked in a lot of the inlets where you travel, beautiful and rugged country. Thank you !
Thank you so much !!! Great videos and lots of smiles and laughs
That is some of the most spectacular drone footage I have ever seen. Beautiful scenery!
Thank you.
Your video editing skillz are outa THIS WORLD. Thank you so so much for these wonderfull experiences :) cheers from NB. Love you guys ❤❤
Thank you very much.
Another super vid !
Stunning beauty along with a every day try at fishing. Like you say, its not about just what you catch........ its the adventure in trying !
For fastners that shake loose, try cleaning them well with aerosal brake cleaner then a bit of blue locktight. For a stronger grip try the orange locktight..... but beware, its harder to break loose if needed. Avoid the red and green locktight unless using for their specialized purpose.
And......seriously, man...........at 9:55................. OLD MILWAUKEE ! ? Even us cheap ass Yoopers in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan dont normally stoop that low on the beer chain !
Great music to accompany the beautiful cinematography
Just amazing scenery!! I live in Surrey BC and it’s such a sad place to live in, sometimes I forget just how beautiful the rest of our province is! Thanks for the reminder to get out of the city and look around ❤️
Wonderful scenery, and the bear shots were incredible. The humour had me laughing. It has to be another Dustin Masterpiece. Thank you xx
Thank you😊
Interesting and beautiful scenery and you also have a beautiful companion.
What a wonderful place...and to think at one time the whole earth was this way...wild and free. Looks like you got some new meats on the rig. They look like some nice grippers...I like!
I just got done with a visit to Canada and Alaska. I took 100s of pictures and none of them do the locations justice. Your videos do a great job!
I had a ball thanks for the trip Dustin , u are bringing in way more than what u are trapping for ! , God bless hanging for next sat boss
Great to see you make it into Work Channel. It is a nice part of our backyard. I once had 2 young 3-4 year old grizzlies approach me as I was launching my canoe into the estuary of the Lachmach river in the fall several years ago. They stopped when I beat my paddle on the side of my canoe but I soon came to realize that all they wanted to do was head upstream to fish for salmon so I had my buddy with the gun come to me from the road and the bears went around and made their way to their secret fishing spot! Pretty amazing how quiet they were as they approached me unnoticed. Not so much of a threat just wanted to go fishing. I am sure those bears are the overflow of Khutzeeymateen Provincial Park as it is only a few mountain passes away. Have a great trip North and keep up the great videos!
Awesome Dustin!!.. I've lived here my whole life but seeing BC from someone else's perspective just reminds me how incredibly beautiful this Province is. Emi seems to be settling in to the adventure and thoroughly enjoying herself. So far this is the best I've seen from you. You seem so much happier with Emi along. Her" giggle" is heart warming.😁
Always impressed with the locations you choose, the quality of your work and your attitude. Looking forward to next Saturday mornings show. Fabulous work!
Thank you. 😊
In 1954, lobsters were introduced to the waters near Prince Rupert, and have met with some success. So yes, that was a lobster, albeit very young. It might be time for a winch, Dustin! Great episode, thank you for the beautiful views! 😍

That was a squat lobster. Native species and that is full grown. Still good eating though
@@KirkOlsen-qi5ls
Thanks for chiming in
@@KirkOlsen-qi5ls interesting. Apparently, two new species were discovered in 2023 off the Coast of Pacific Japan. They're all so tiny, you'd need a pot full to make a meal of them.
@@Mystic_Lightsend some Cajuns, they’ll show you how it’s done! 😆
Thank you Dustin,bears are beautiful prayers for big prawns and crabs.
Optical illusion.. rolling the boat down the slope to the water. Looks like you’re about to launch into the sky.. VERY COOL.
The ocean was perfect that morning.
Some of your best cinematography to date!! Have you thought about selling prints? A still photo of that eagle on the top of the tree with the mountains in the background is simply breathtaking. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. There are some prints for sale in the store, but not many. Something I’m trying to do more of though.
NICE SO NICE.....YOUR QUITE THE STORY TELLER ....the production .....THANKS from new mexico
Hey, Emi and Dustin, You'll get your pots full of crap and prawns soon enough, from what I know, the crabs and prawns, they like " real chicken pieces" not the canned chicken, and keep trying! The views were amazing, gorgeous, stunning! Glad your have a good time. Emi is great!

You're the best, Dustin. I was on a cruise to Hawaii in 2015 on the Star Princess. Our paths right have crossed.
I actually never got a contract going to Hawaii, or any time on Star Princess. I’ve heard it’s a great voyage though.
Another great episode, thank you so much for all your hard work, we know it takes an extreme amount of time and effort to put these episodes out every week. We appreciate it
Thank you 😊
Another great vid Dustin. Loved those Griz! We used to dive for shrimp (prawns) at night. They come up to 50-60 ft. and we would get enough for a small shrimp salad for both of us. I don't really think it was worth the effort but it sure was beautiful.
Refreshing to see someone that can repair their own vehicle, so many "overland presenters" run into problems and can't repair them themselves. I can't imagine driving off into a remote area and not being confident that I could repair the vehicle that I depend on. Like always, great scenery, great editing, I am sure the video does not do justice to these places, I am falling in love with BC.
I’m always amazed when I meet folks broke down in the middle of nowhere and they have no tools or knowledge of their rig. Scary.
Hey Dustin. Thanks for the great views. I definitely appreciate the work you do in sharing with all of us!
🍻
Hey Dustin & Emmy ! The Cummins isn't leaking it's marking it's territory ! Pre-planning is the way to go. Great installment . Later 👊😎👍
Awesome adventure Dustin and Emmi! 😊😊😊
Nature untouched by humans....just glorious
I always enjoy the footage you get of our playground here.
Honestly, seeing you struggle a bit but maintain your humor is kinda cathartic. Like we are with you on that part of the adventure too.
The footage from the drone was just incredible , better than a NatGeo documentary , it really captured the viewer , you can almost smell the salty mist and the spruce ..
Yo guys are doing a great job together.
Thank you Dustin , keep going 👍
Cheers from Switzerland
🍻 🇨🇭 🇨🇦
Hi Dustin. Great video. Looks like seafood catching lessons are in need. Had the same result fishing for trout myself in the past ha ha ha. Also, nice of you not to get too close to the bears with the drone!!! KEN W Lake
Still loving every episode bro, super spectacular scenery!!!
Great Saturday morning coffee with Dustin. My dog looks at me funny every time watching . Because you always make me Laugh and show me cool places!! Looking forward to next Saturday!
Waiting for a Destination Adventure road map eh. So a guy can recreate some of your adventures eh. EH 😊 Love it. Keep it up.
Hey Dustin, I watch your videos all the time. Great job! 2 tips: Crabs like the mix of fresh and salt water in river delta's, traps should be about 75 feet. Prawns really really really like Carlysle cat food in the can, punch holes in can and set trap at 250ft minimum. I use 450 foot prawn lines and regularly fish at 325+ feet. . Lead line is not required if you weight the line in the middle. Weights can be found at any fishing store. I weight my crab lines too and use about 125 foot lines to account for tidal action. Keep up the great work. I would get yourself a Scotty Trap-Ease roller for your boat. It will save the tube when pulling line and makes it way easier to pull. Cheers from Vancouver Island.
good morning from the East Coast of our beautiful country
Stealing a quote from Field of Dreams; "Is this Heaven?" Spectacular scenery and as always remarkable overall production! Love it.
I know the feeling liveing in a place like that. cell phones didnt work? Too many trees for a dish! I love it and I miss it! People are happier with out people!
Another great video!!! So excited for all you show up this season!!!
Really enjoyed the curiosity of the Grizzly cub and the application of caution by mother Grizzly. WOW, just WOW. Thank you for taking us along on these adventures, places known only to the scant locals, what a fantastic country we have the privilege of living in brought home to all of us where ever that may be.
Truly the most genuine show on youtube! Love it, always look forward to it!!
I appreciate that, thank you.
You are amazing Dustin. Thanks for sharing your travels. ❤
Thank you.
THANKS Captain D., I was NOT having a great Saturday (and it was only 9:45 AM) but once I watched the video, saw the bears, and another little piece of the incredibly beautiful province I was lucky enough to be born in (even tho I'm in Ontario now) it lifted my down spirits and it's gonna carry me through the rest of the day on a great note. You and " 1st mate Emi" stay safe, don't play tag with the bears...lol... and just enjoy....Thanks again Dustin, you do amazing work, the content is exquisite, and I get such a kick out of the fun you have getting SKUNKED by the prawns and the Dungies...Take care, much love and Peace out, from Doc, in the Great White (now all green and damp, and headed into summer) North of southern Ontario, Canada...🦫🦫🐻🐻🐻🟥🍁🟥
Good morning Doc. Your comment is nice. Have a great weekend.
I've been to work Channel many times. Never have I noticed such beauty. Especially those grizzlies. Thanks for sharing another adventure.
As always, breathtaking views !
Really impressed with your channel and love watching your adventures!! Keep it up!
Stunning footage, Dustin. Several times I found myself catching my breathe with tears in my eyes.
Plus, you're hilarious. Good luck to you and Emy on your adventures North. I will be watching!!
@@marybennett5724 thank you ☺️
