The smoke makes everything look so creepy in a superb way.

This is the best type of adventure! Some abandoned buildings, some nature and fishing the ocean, super jealous!

Dustin, I live vicariously through you and your amazing videos. The stories you tell about forgotten parts of Canada are incredible. You really have that "It" factor. I just wish the vlogs were longer, the way you tell the story is so personal. Feel line we're there with you. PLEASE continue to go all in on this channel. Thank you

We used to live out in Sooke and go for drives all around the island. It's so nice to see this kind of scenery again, thank you Dustin. I hope the island treats you well!

Geez, you got kinda crabby at the end.

My brother and I love watching your adventures. Stay safe out there man.

Little known fact about the Jordan River generating unit . . . it's operations includes pulse flows at certain time of year specifically for surfers. Powerhouses are kind of a dime a dozen but the hollow cone valve at Diversion dam that fills Elliott dam up sufficiently for generation is a very cool thing to see up close when it's open. You can juuuust see it at 1:40 (the circular thing at the bottom left of the dam).

As a B.C. Hydro tree contractor i got to work in the area a few times , once was to cut trees on a powerline going to the damm about half way up , from back in the day they first used a water flume to run the lower power station and there are sections still up there to see

Beautiful place. Iv been in so many of those. The dam is cool. Been there alot.

Hey Dustin It was Great having the oportunity to meet you in Courtenay today . Tracy and I had quite a chuckle when we were talking about you and the door of an RV pops open and you stepped out . I am going through my VI back roads map book tonight to see if I can get a Couple other ideas for you . Another interesting island is Savary Island which can be reached from Powell River like Texada . In Powell River their are some old Ships that were from the Nuke Tests that were done at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific . They are now a Breakwater . The Father & Son who did the Seahunters Show went there and dove them . Telegraph Cove near Port McNiell has Wildlife viewing . Lots of Eagles . Tribune Bay on Hornby Island is worth checking out . If looking for campsites check out Mosaics forestry campsites on their website . I think the are free . Now if you had more time for adventure . There was an old Steam Engine North West of Campbell River that was last spotted from the Air many years ago . No one has ever been able to locate it from the ground and is no longer visible from the Air . Almost like the one in Arrow Lakes . Happy Trails Bro . Tks again

Have you left the island, Dustin? If not, you might want to check out Paldi, an abandoned village half way between Duncan and Lake Cowichan. Easy to access, and an interesting story.

Crabbed once a long time ago when I was a teen. My uncle's mom took me out on St. Simon's Island here in Georgia. We crabbed right off the beach. All the swimmers around us had no clue what was just beneath the sand. Ate good that night. Enjoyed the video. I really enjoy seeing your adventures

I enjoy your videos immensely! My parents were living in Jordan River when I was born in 1965. Was a lovely little community then.

Awesome video! Beautiful place n the graffiti looks awesome too. Thanx for the share n stay safe! Hi fr northern BC 🇨🇦

I see you made it to Jordan River Power Station that's awesome place. And then you went to Port Renfrew another great place. Your videos are so short it would be nice to see a longer cut. Why you were up at Port Renfrew there is fairy Lake just up the road and it is a great place to camp out in your motorhome.

Awesome, you went to the power plant. I've been on the island for over 12 years and I only found out about the plant last year. It really is an interesting building. Thanks for showing it!

I go to Jordan River almost every weekend to camp! Love it here :)

Another great laid back Canadian adventure hope dinner was equally as epic!!!. Last time I saw this area was setting off to do the WCT, amazing, beautiful and rugged part of our country. Thanks for triggering some great memories.

Great video! I was just in that abandoned Powerhouse today. Artwork has changed since this vid lol

at your start, great photography, great editing, thanks for the years of adventures, /03/2023

Cute personality! Love his history lessons & seeing a part of the US that I wouldn’t get to otherwise❤️Thank you for sharing your adventures ❤️

Love it when you put what we see in perspective. Great video.

I love the road between port Renfrew and Cowichan lake just north of there

Enjoyed. Thank you. 😎

Your videos have become so amazing over the years! Love it! Thanks for all you do :)

New subscriber… love your channel. Many thx

Good vid Dustin.

If it’s the same rock crab as is down in Tacoma, WA (I’m sure they are) you can snap off a large claw and throw the crab back in. They will grow the claw back apparently and you get the best part of the rock crab for dinner.

Looks like your moving towards the the Lockheed Ventura plane near Gordon River. I believe it is Mt Bolduc.

Jordan River eh, I was born there in 1949 Logging Camp Brat all My youth. The now abandoned Power House was still active when I was kid there.

I seen your last vid. at that place, so sad that they demolished some of the buildings.

Well done buddy, never knew!

Man so sad that I am thinking 🤔 of buying stock in spray paint , it’s almost everywhere you go never new that many people were packing !

Fresh crab.. man I am SO jealous. Hope you enjoyed them!

commercial crab fished that bay and south to Victoria for 4 years. miss those days.

Awesome video! I’m 99% certain I saw you in your motorhome just a little while ago. I’m on the road a lot here on the island.

Jordan River and area is amazing and beyond beautiful. Surprised to see the West coast of the island that smoky. Wow. Did you meet my friend Jen & share your crab dinner?

Jordan River is one of those places where it’s great to visit, but not so great to live. I live out in Jordan River and I don’t really like living here.

Is the Cold shoulder cafe still operating at the end of JR? I used to hitch out there all the time and explore the buildings and have a great mocha.

Not sure how far you have come up the Island Bud . There may be a delay between where you are and when your Vids are uploaded . Big Qualicum Fish Hatchery has some Amazing Salmon right now . Not far from Horne Lake Caves .

Will you be heading to the okanagan? I have many recommendations.

Crabjaw only works if it landed in perfectly flat bottom and still might tilt to one side. That's a lot of variables you gotta be lucky on...

I've been to Port Renfrew It's amazing out there! Have you been out to Ucluelet?

Hey Dustin have seen you R.V a couple of times parked on the side of the road as I head to Port Alberni early each day...how long are you around the area for. At least I think that was your unit it is quite unique lol.

Curious about that motorized bike. Work ok? What kind is it?

Dustin, I’m going back to an old video just to ask you a question. I want you to order a hoodie (Mountains DA Hoodie) if it is too small can I exchange. I’ll obviously pay for shipping. How can I get one of those KZfaq destination stickers also?

That red rock looks way under sized........

Check the trap now ! How about now ? Haha. Awesome video.

Hello be safe wear helmet take it easy 🤔no🤡case wash state .good history

How was your 🦀's

Mr crabs boiled alive and eaten 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

texting and driving... :(

I don't understand the down votes on this vid.. Someone has a real problem..

Hey man, just gonna give ya some great advice that could end up saving you some doh..that mountain bike with the motor is uber illegal to ride around on public roads, hefty fines and confiscation will be the result if caught.

I hate the graffiti

I would hardly call it a city. It’s a curve in the road
