The Forgotten Lands, Hidden Hot Springs and Wild Horses. Destination Adventure

- Sometimes the greatest adventures are the ones without a plan. Of course I leave with a rough plan, or at the very least a destination, but a slot of completely free time in between leads to the option to jump on any opportunity presented along the way. This week, that paid off perfectly. We are heading into the Chilcotin, to complete a route that we attempted last year, but couldn't complete due to a washout. From Williams Lake, there are many loop routes within the Chilcotin, each passing though some absolutely gorgeous territory and history. Most of my life, I imagined the Chilcotin to be little more than grassland, but the terrain is incredibly divers, and the wildlife is abundant. This trip brought to me some amazing experiences with wild and free range horses, old homesteads, friendly locals and of course one amazing view after the next.
It is important to educate yourself on the route you plan in the grasslands, because camp spots are limited due to the slow regrowth of the terrain. I was welcomed into each community, and had nice conversations with each person I had the pleasure to talk with, but respecting the land is incredibly important.
It is important to understand and respect culture as well. I had the pleasure of visiting some incredibly beautiful hot springs on this trip, but these locations are often of historically cultural significance. And for that reason, permission is required to access. I am very fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to enjoy so many miles of beautiful country in this trip, and I truly hope you all enjoy it with me.

I don't know if youtube has awards for video production but you absolutely deserve to win some. Such a beautiful "backyard" you get to travel and explore.
Thank you.
Definitely agree
"A little bit of lubrication never hurts when you're dealing with an old gal like this" What a way to start a video!
Love your stuff, Dustin! You're a hidden gem of CZcams.
Agree. Im more of a 2 stroke oil in the tank kind of guy
I had a 98 12 valve, great truck! Now have a 15 24 valve, love the power and torque! Love the Dodge Ram Cummins diesels!
Thanks for sharing your Chilcotin adventure…..Love my home province.
I has a Burmese 2.75 piston triangular with 12 1/2 valve tubular pushrod slant 7 with 2 speed forward 5 speed reverse with neutral between each clutch push. Before ya pilot it ya better give a shit cuz otherwise you'll have T-Bone steak for lunch tomorrow. Don't forget to check the air pressure in your shoes. Lockjaw is like a beach.
I knew some truckers who when they changed the fuel filters they would fill the new ones up with atf. They would put the new on, start the motor and floor it. Smoked like hell for about 5 minutes or so and then cleared up. They said it was a good way to clean the injectors.
Anyone else follow along these adventures on Google earth whilst watching? Or am I just dull like that?😆
Thank you, I have been lost in my anxiety since my doctor's appointment for a cancer check-up. It has me a bit nervous Positive distraction and a beautiful adventure, please. 💖 🙏💝
I'll be thinking bout ya and hoping your cancer free.
don't sweat it you got this.. here's for hoping that you are not only free but also that your cancer free
I hope you have some amazing support and love and care. F*ck Cancer! Fight fight fight.
🙏🏼Praying for you.
Wild horses baby, wild horses
Up until a few years ago, before I found your channel, I thought I'd explored the Cariboo and Chilcotin fairly extensively. You quickly dissuaded me of that thought, showing me parts of my Province I never dreamed of seeing. And you carry on...Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Me too . Did not know of that 'warm spring ' . It looked very peaceful and kinda spiritual. Glad to be on the road with you. Thx.
Dustin, you are my First Choice on CZcams . Your Intelligence, language skills and amazing attention to detail are phenomenal. I’ve learned so much from your videos and I’m always looking forward to seeing your productions . They’re mesmerizing and your Music choices are perfect for all ages. Yes, it’s a grandma here, LOVING this!
Very much appreciated, thank you. 😊
That horse running down the hill was just showing you the true meaning of "horse power"! Thanks for this awesome start to the summer season.
Are we not going to discuss that drone shot through the power lines? 😱 COME ON, MAN!!! 😳 That was next-level!!!! 🫡
Am I an idiot in not understanding how he drives and flys all at the same time and doesn't run it into everything?
@@d_rock_t No doubt! It must be some form of Canadian wizardry.
The dedication to the shot is real.
🍻
Its a rainy saturday morning here in TX, so that means playing musical chairs with the rain and letting animals in and out for potty breaks all day. But it also means another great coffe time with Dustin. I absolutely loved this video Dustin. The horses, music, scenery, and of course your great humor. I know for myself i cant thank you enough for doing these. They truly do mean so much, to so many.
Thank you for enjoying 😊
Yeah I found this dude when I was deep diving 12 valve Cummins before I bought my 12 valve daully a couple weeks ago. I’m watching CZcams today too while it’s raing in Austin and my 12 valve is parked in the driveway covered with a tarp and the engine is torn apart fixing the Killer Dowel Pin haha…. my girlfriend is pissed about the garage being full of diesel radiators and intercoolers haha
@designfabrication512 you must go back and watch all of Dustin, top 3 channels for sure. I have a 2015 Jeep Patriot Sport and a 1987 Chevy G20 but must be honest the build series videos had me glued. I learned so much, probably won't use most of it but I loved it all just the same. Enjoy your build, and howdy from Dallas.
British Columbia, the envy of the whole world!
The horses are thinking that drone is the biggest mosquito they ever seen! LOL
Or the biggest horse-fly...
Superb start to the new season! I loved seeing the horses, wild or otherwise, the cows, the hint of Booboo - glad the bear did not catch you with your pants down, and the sights most if us will never see. That hotspring/spring ... Simply beautiful. Thank you, Dustin. I am excited for another season with Destination Adventure.
Saturday morning my cup of coffee & DA...what could be better😊
The best show on any network I’m positive after watching all your videos your fate wasn’t on a cruise ship
If anything, your honest! and teaching people what integrity and honor looks like.
That’s very nice, thank you.
Awesome vid I wish I could travel to places like Thea’s I’m in Australia so i can’t go until I’m older but for now I’m going to explore my own places thanks for inspiring me.
Yet another masterpiece, thank you Dustin.
😊
Dustin thank you for showing me places that I will never get to see. So beautifully done videos, entertaining and the views are out of this world. Can't wait each week for another video from you! Thanks again!
Epic adventure as always Dustin! You have a knack for consistently leaving me in awe with the your talent and your passion for adventure! Thank you for letting us tag along!❤
Thank you very much. 😊
Getting back into the routine of waking up before 8 o’clock eastern time
It's when legends rise 😊
You are an amazing artist, Dustin. Phenomenal images, all the way through. I appreciate your hard work.
Thank you very much 😊
Thanks again for sharing Canada with us, great "roadside" attractions to spice up the wondrous views, lakes, river, bridge... videography is top notch keeping my attention every second! Hilarious dip in the warm springs - makes me miss the hot springs along the rocky mountains growing up in Utah and Idaho. WILD horsies too ;>) they're such curious beauties.
Thanks for another wonderful video just amazing!!
Wow, great photography….you have some real serious camera talent. It’s much appreciated. Hope the money guys discover you.
I super appreciate the peek at the map. Puts the destination in the adventure.
Ive been following you for close to a year now and you just keep getting better!! My cousin lives in B.C. He's a dual citizenship kind of fella. LOL!! Maybe some day you'll run into him and his wife.
Keep up the great work!!
Thanks Dustin, I'm sitting on my couch and I'm positive there are ticks crawling all over me. Haven't seen them yet, but I feel them!!!!
You never disappoint Dustin!!! It makes me really happy to see your notifications pop up!! I appreciate your hard work putting all this together.
When you were first going to get in the spring your bike was on the ground!
No towel…you know who it was…your buddy! You know, the guy that drinks your beer!
Thanks again Dustin for another awesome trip.
You literally stop and smell the roses, be it wildflowers or cattle it’s just fresh crisp air.
@ 15:21 that sand bar to the right is where we camp everytime we are through that area . Its a great beach to unwind before heading up into Churn Creek area. Love the content bro , hope to see you up there sometime !
Stellar video Dustin! Beautiful camera work and editing as always. Loved the shots of the Fraser river. You ever heard of Dan Hurd? He has a rockhounding channel Dan Hurd prospecting and does a lot of things in and around the Fraser. He has some mining claims and might be able to get you on the track of some new spots to check out.
And thank you for sharing your soundtracks with us, the ones I like I add to my Spotify playlist
As always videography ten out of ten. Watching from Panama City Florida,USA. 🇺🇸🦅
Thank you
Another awesome video. Thank You so very much for sharing this with me
I spent many years in the Cariboo and Chilcotin region. Camping and fishing and exploring. Personal bad memories tainted the rugged, amazing beauty and history of this area. After traveling with Destination Adventure, I now for the first time after 20 years want to return to this amazing part of the Province. Thank you Dustin for sharing your amazing creative talent, you change peoples lives. Spilled box of chocolates 💕
Such stunning scenery and animals. Thanks so much for taking us with you on your adventures 👍
Excellent orchestration of scenic views, music and commentary! I especially love the drone chaser shots of the rig. Another hidden gem with the warm spring, too.
Thanks for sharing your backyard with us.😊
Thanks for a beautiful ride to start the season Dustin ! Cheers 👊😎👍
Thank you!! Absolutely stunning views! ❤❤❤❤
Another great adventure, Dustin. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. You have a beautiful Country. From an old girl in Australia.
Great video, love hearing the ol’ 12 valve chugging a long
thanks for taking us along with you ,, enjoy watch all that you show us ,, bc is a very great place to go around and look at things ... keep them coming
Dustin, your stuff is inspiring! Not to mention super relaxing. Thanks for bringing us along for the adventures! I really also like the local music content and shout outs to the artists at the end of every video. They usually find there way into my Spotify rotation!
Always enjoy the back yard….😊
Coffee and another stellar video - many thanks
Dustin, the modern Chilcotan cowboy.
Very cool little hot spring. Thanks,it was a very beautiful ride enjoyed.
This video makes me miss home. Used to live out west and I co own property in the big bar area. Used to drive only backroads from riske creek to my cabin. I miss those views of the Fraser River ❤
Dude I love your selections of songs. I have looked several up and now a fan of the Dirty Guv’nahs👍🏼👍🏼
Here in Ontario we face the same tick problem. I have found that spraying my outdoor clothes in Permithrin ( spelling may be wrong) sold here at the Army Surplus Store works fantastic and its good for several washes. Keep up the great videos.
Can you get that in Canada? Or order it online?
@@kathyreap3491 I buy it on Ontario. Its. In a spay can, I am not sure they would ship.
@@kathyreap3491 The stuff in the stores is the same as they sell in any farm kind of store. Farm stores tend to have better prices. Works a charm on ticks and skeeters. If you have a cat don't let them mess with it though.
Careful with that spray. If you have cats, keep them away.
Stuff is fatal for them. Otherwise, it's definitely a good solution for bug prevention.
You started talking about ticks and I saw the the black earing and thought...OMG there is one on yer ear!! LOL!
3'44" drone flies between power lines. Already impressed. Will watch the rest when I've come down from that buzz.
Another Saturday morning on Van Isl and coffee with Dustin 😊
This was such a beautiful adventure! I'm so jealous! You're living my dream & that's something amazing you'll forever hold on to. Your videos are always a big "go to" for me. The music makes it even better. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you
As someone who can't go on these epic adventures, thank you for bringing your backyard into my home. Much love and safe travels from Atlanta, Georgia!
Very happy to share 😊
Outdoor access to the second floor can be useful in areas that get snowed in, or a separate apartment upstairs for your teenagers, parents or or in-laws, farm workers. Also easier to bring furniture in or out than carry up narrow indoor stairway, Of course its always good as a fire escape.
That would be awesome riding with horses Deadly such a surreal experiance ;)
🔊🖥🔊🎶
Hey, thank you Dustin for taking all of us on your adventure. You are fortunate to have a backyard in Chilcotin. Few people have been to your part of the world. It's not jus RAD, its AWESOME.
It’s interesting that you’re taking your rig into the Chilcotin area where season 8 of “Alone” was filmed. Perhaps you should get the $500,000 prize! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Your videos are the best and your sense of humour always makes me laugh, thank you for sharing your adventures 😊
I appreciate that, thank you. 😊
Pretty cool to see the horses like that.
This adventure is amazing❤🎉😊
Amazing once again Dustin,looking forward to the next one 👍👍
Nice Dustin!! Love sneaky hot spring side trips.
I thoroughly loved that video. Thank you Dustin.
On the road again!!.... thanks Dustin for another awesome trip!!
you have a beautiful Country.
greetsz from holland...max...
Still loving the Videos!! FYI, a horse knowledgeable person once told me horses hate bicycles. They see people on them and can’t figure how a person is moving on them so it really makes them skidish.
I come here to relax and enjoy. Dustin delivers everytime. ✌️
Got my wander lust engaged…time to dig out the old BRMB.
Dustin every video just blows me away tat much better. you are so creative. I can imagine how getting this type of footage takes time. Thank you for sharing with us how you see the world.
Thank you 😊
Your show is fantastic. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your show is so well shot and edited that it surpasses most of what is on television and youtube. I'm shocked that you don't have 2 million subs! Love the show. I hope to run into you out on the road. Thank you.
I appreciate that, thank you. I’ll get there some day 😊
Thanks Dustin, a beautiful little trip. British Columbia is just stunning, who could ever tire of that scenery? Beautifully shot too x
Naahhh! That red pull switch on your shifter is non else but a Mad Max switch to engage your engine Blower!
Great watching, makes me motivated to get the camper finished
Thanks for another fantastic Saturday morning adventure!
Dustin that hot spring was EPIC! Imagine that you are one of the few people, that will ever experience it. Perfect little hot spring that you only read about normally. Keep on keeping on amigo!
Much harder to find than expected too.
@@Destination_Adventure Lewis and Clark would be proud ;D
Hubby and we’re howling at you paddling in the hot spring! Love your work Dustin, long time watcher from Sarina qld Australia 🙌🏼
Great film making, congratulations
Peace be with you and your travels.
I love the cinematography in your videos. Great inspiration for my content! Thanks for all your hard work to share with us.
Thank you.
Thanks Dustin for another great adventure. Greetings from Fort Saskatchewan Alberta
Great video. It was a trip down memory lane for me, haven't been out that way since the early seventies. We didn't have drones in those days, seeing yours in action is a great addition. I look forward to your videos, keep 'm comin'!! Appreciate your work putting the videos together. Cheers
Drone thro the power lines was sick!
You have the best backyard... Love the adventures.
Where you live is amazing. You know there is a bar in downtown Anchorage called Chilcot Charlies.
Free peanuts and a dirt floor. It's a landmark been there since the 70's.
I keep my chain saw small, mix bottles for one shotters for my 12 valve. If you don’t have ATF handy, mix oil works really well also. Sure quiets that injection pump and it does seem to boost the cetane level as well.
Nicely done, as always Dustin. Thanks for bringing us along.
This really checks all the boxes for what you do best, production, soundtrack, so good! Thanks for sharing!
@ 5:49, that old cabin with the outside staircase access to the second level, looks exactly like some of the buildings in Minecraft LOL
"Not much of a heights guy" he sez , you coulda fooled me ! All those crazy cliff hangar and ridge roads you do ? Thanks for another great video as always...
Thank you for bringing us along. Luv ur videos.
Thank you for yet another excellent video. You rock bud!
You make me smile sir. Thank you!
Another great adventure, thanks Dustin.
Thanks that place was beautiful I enjoyed all your videos
Very cool hotspring! That seems so exotic, nothing like that here.
Dustin so many thank you's. I love your backyard.
Beautiful horses
