- Skagway is one of the strangest towns I have visited, because it remains the same to day in many ways, as it did during the gold rush. It has always maintained the original gold rush era architecture, it's economy has been supported mostly upon travellers passing through, and it is wildly pristine. The drive in and out of Skagway is worth the trip all on it's own. The final hill into town though, is quite steep, and the MoHo had a bit of a tough time coming to a stop. Half way down I noticed the brakes getting pretty soft. I knew I could still pump them solid, but it was time to find a place to stop ASAP. I found a big pull out, and I had to really work it to get to a stop, but she did. I have been chasing some air in my brakes for a few weeks now, because its tough to get a proper bleed when you're doing it solo, but I seemed to get it good and solid for now. Arriving to Skagway, I wasn't really shocked, because I have been here so many times before when I worked on ships. It is a very important town in our North America history, so I wanted to bring it on the channel, but this year I don't have time for an adventure here. Heading to Prince Rupert to surprise my friends was an exciting experience. I am very disappointed we encountered the weather we did here, but I had an amazing day none the less. The driving I have done lately in the north, with the autumn colours, has been absolutely amazing. I hope you have enjoyed these drone shot travel sequences. The landscapes here are so vast and glorious, I have found that the drone is the only way to properly capture it. If you did enjoy this episode, I hope you may consider helping support the channel. I have some wonderful folks supporting on Patreon, and some awesome swag over on the Merch site.

I still can't get over how professional your videos are. You bring great humor and entertainments and also bring in so much history. I can't wait until you hit the millions in subscribers. Please don't sell out to Discovery Channel.
Dustin is much too cool to sell out to anyone. We’re really proud of him but you know, there’s a lot of good people who live in British Columbia who have ethics and values. He worked damn hard to get this channel where it is today. I don’t believe he will ever disappoint us. 😊
THIS! I can’t wait till he hits a million, if anybody deserves it, it’s him! I highly doubt he’d sell out to Discovery, however, they may very well need someone like him, but he does SO well on his own! I hope & pray he continues doing his own thing ! The man has some REAL talent !!
totally & completely agree. The way you present the location and the content inspires me to travel to places that I have either crossed off my list or had never heard of before. thank you Dustin!
I have been seeing comments like this lately, an I want you to know they mean a lot to me. Thank you all so much. This channel is my absolute highest priority and focus, and I don’t plan to change that. I am not interested in giving up any creative control to any network or third party entity. If I am able to make a living doing this, I would love to make a long career of it. If someone comes with a very good offer, I may accept, but the content will not change. :). Thank you all for enjoying so much, and for your kind words.
@@sharong8511 thank you so much for your long time support and enjoyment. One of my longest consistent supporters, and I appreciate that tremendously.
For what it's worth, this episode, even though you're viewing it as constrained or missing something, is still just as good of a part of the story in the eyes of the viewers. I don't think you need to worry about forcing as many of the produced elements in as you can. Especially when things like this happen, the plans get cancelled and that's part of life. We're mostly just here for the adventure!
"Dustination Adventure" has done it again! Great Canadian Content and absolutely fantastic entertainment! Thank you Dustin!
Thank you.
@@Destination_Adventure Your channel inspired me to start my own channel! Thank you Dustin! If you ever get some free time please allow me to entertain you for a few moments!
I'm not a religious man but I do believe that you are in God's country! The drone footage is unbelievable.
Keep on keeping on!
Yes, agreed. What type of drone and drone camera do you use Dustin?
I was extremely entertained by this episode… And if you thought it was lacking in any Contant in anyway… Oh Dustin you are so wrong the editing made me laugh and the beautiful water of the lake was amazing… Thank you for all your hard work and all your adventures I enjoy watching your channel so much… Much love from……MN,USA…..✨🌟🇺🇸💝🇺🇸🌟✨
Thank you so much.
Hello Dustin,
Your video content and quality of them is amazing, your camera work and editing with the background music is impressive, i feel like I'm on the road trip with you,
Thank you for sharing your life with us.
You’re very welcome, and thank you for enjoying.
This guy should have a million plus subs just on his comedic performances not to mention the rest of his fan tastic content... MY MAN!!!
I am NEVER disappointed by your videos, your skills in editing and cinematography are constantly improving. I have
Thanks for the early AM upload Dustin. That small town was gorgeous, and Good Hope Lake was something out of the Heavens! Also the clone trail clips you do are hilarious bud.
My wife, Marie and I just LOVE your sense of humor, your background stories about the different places, and your video work. I can't stop laughing when you have a crazy conversation with yourself.... those are the BEST!!! Dustin, thank you for keeping things fun, light-hearted, real, and kid friendly!!! You are one of the best YT channels out there...
I've been living in Skagway for the past 5 months as one of many seasonal workers. It means so much to see this beautiful piece of country showcased. Thank you so much for capturing the beauty of my summer home and sharing your talents!
Dustin, I appreciate your videos SO much. Not only do they give me AMAZING travel ideas, but they also bring a huge smile to my face! You are so upbeat & hilarious, it makes my day! I love the interviews you do w the locals, I’m a big history gal so it’s nice to hear a brief rundown of these places! Keep up the good work! Your videos are fantastic quality…I would love to learn how to edit from you! haha Lots of love, God bless you❣️
Thank you so much Olivia. You can thank Mic for the comedy, he’s in charge of that ;). Happy I can help bring a smile.
No matter the content, you never disappoint Another great one.
Thank you.
Dustin, my 9 year old daughter and I recently found you on CZcams and you instantly became a favorite of ours in Farmington, Minnesota. Love your good hearted nature and your well planned videos. Wish you could do some exploring here in the northern plains states but there's more to see in northern Minnesota, lot's of old abandoned towns with long lost stories. Some newlyweds take a drive all the way around the great lakes, it can be done in 2 weeks, lot's of great sites to see, check it out. Please do not sell out, you are too great for Hollywood. Keep em' coming. Thank you for all you do!! Joe and Sophia!
Hollywood? Lol I don’t think I’d fit in so good there. I’m more comfortable in the regular woods. Hahaha
Singing your praises to folks is too groovy all because of your exceptional skills. For cripes-a-mercy sake, you do ALL the work from filming to editing and posting and the finished product is high end, top notch stuff! Thank you, very much, for this. Yay you!!
Youve made us all feel pretty special with all the care you put into production. Thank you
Hi Dustin. Love the scene with you and Mic! Another beautiful episode! You never disappoint!!! Thank you Dustin!!!
Thank you.
Oh well...blame the weather on poor Nick. I have a 'self' I can blame too. Looking forward to next weeks adventure. Loved seeing the crystal clear water...we don't have that here and we've never seen so thank you!
Your cinematography is amazing! Dustin produces value-filled amazing content, your editing is the best!
Thank you :)
I think you deserve a major award for your videography! You are living the life most people only dream about. I wish you every success. Stay safe❤
Totally agree, re tourist trap places, they are never worth the money. Your videos are now so professional, we can see your development and growth when we watch the older videos. The info on Skagway was excellent, as was seeing Lake Hope. Another excellent video:) Thank you. Keep safe and happy travels :)
Dude, some of the places you have been are just absolutely EPIC. As a new subscriber and an Aussie I am blown away by the scenery in Alaska and BC.
I live here in Prince Rupert, born and raised and I am still, constantly blown away by the beauty around here.
Wow Dustin this was spectacular!!! Don't worry about not having your other half. You knocked it out of the park once again. The history of Skagway was great, I had no idea about that town. As always you brought us professional cinematography of the landscape and it was stunning!
Thank you so much.
The skits just keep getting better and better !! I was dying laughing !! I almost want to say that's the best one yet !! And that lake. Duddeeeee. Absolutely a hidden gem !!!!
Dustin, you do such an amazing job with your production. Your videos including the narration, the B roll, the music, the levels the transitions, and even the silly little post-production "trick photography" including your doppelganger! HA!! All is very professional. This makes your content which is equally as amazing, among my favorite CZcams content to digest. I see the future and dude, you are going to blow up exponentially here. Trust me, i know these things! :-)
That’s very nice, thank you so much.
Such a beautiful area wish I could go up there again
Buddy... Are you friggin' kidding me?? So beautiful! Thank you for taking us.
Love the railroad, its what got me into trains in 2003 and I was finally able to ride it in 2016
As always, amazing video full of history fantastic scenery and a wonderful sense of humor...Thanks Dustin!
You’re most welcome.
This was an amazing video even without the "adventure" included. The terrain there is just unreal. Absolutely gorgeous, and you're a heck of a filmmaker.
Thank you very much.
As a kid, I looked forward to Saturday morning cartoons, now as an adult…I look forward to seeing Dustin’s Saturday vids!!! Well done dude! As per usual, you knocked this one out of the ballpark! 🎉 wish I had a smidgen of your talent!
Your cinematography is unbelievable. It’s just not enough, in the short amount of time that you allow. I would love to have your videos longer. Keep up the good work.
I can see why that was your favorite lake!!!
I have never seen a lake so clear..❤
Never complain, never explain...you have nothing to be sorry for. The content you provide speaks for itself. Don't know why but the shot of the Canadian flag on the sat disc made me all choked up. It was there before the trucky dudes ruined public display, I've watched it for years now. You are in our preferred area to road trip. Every shot evokes memories of one of our trips up there.
I wish I could have got a better shot of the flag and dish. I don’t think many people will recognize it’s on a beaver lodge. Hahaha
Wow!!! One of my favorite videos. That lake, it's beautiful. The intro, with Mick... so funny. We love those bits! You're living the life
Mate,
Every single time. Your vids just keep getting better and better. I just wish they were longer! That lake!? Beautiful. Thanks again, Dustin.

Well this episode brought a huge smile to my face. I've lived in Prince Rupert my entire life and when I saw you driving around town this last week I was so excited to see what was coming up on your channel! I can't wait to see your take on this little slice of heaven I call home.
I think we forget when living in cities and doing our jobs etc that there is so much beauty in the world. Thank you Dustin for showing us the beauty in these videos in such a wonderfully full cinematic way. Skagway looks amazing, I love towns like that where they haven't changed much, so few around, and of course the amazing spectacle of Alaska and British Columbia. Thank you again for a fantastic video.
Beautifully photography, editing, music, history, everything is spot on! At the end you apologize. Dustin, No apology needed! You be You, we all love you and your content! I love how you integrate the interview and narration of the town history while showing vintage and up to date pictures and video! Great job, stay safe! can't wait for the next one!
Yes, the drone clips were awesome!!! And again thanks for taking us along.
Distance, thank you for all of you're travel video's. You have taken me places I wil never get to see in my life time. And in a fun way as will.
Even when things don’t work to plan, you still pull a great video off!
Be safe in your travels, sir!
The wife and I have come to love your videos, keep up the great work 👍
I am BC born and raised. Holidays were and still are in the Cariboo near 100 Mile...every time I see that you have posted my day is instantly better! Your videos of the North and upper West Coast have me thinking that I really need to see more of my home province :) Looking into a small trailer to accomplish that.
“Well produced“ he said… Man, this was next level! How can it get better???
Bryan from Vancouver
Loved the video and the areas you visited. Great soundtrack - thanks for including them at the end! Whenever I watch your northern BC videos, it reminds me to save up for a trip next year to go back!! Thank you!!
I always enjoy your videos Dustin & the scenery you capture is always stunningly beautiful. I have soft spot in my heart for Prince Rupert as I lived there in the ‘90s when my kids were little, well before any cruise ships decided to dock there. I still enjoy seeing that part of the province & remember well the storms they get there. Take care & God bless.
Thank you
Dustin, I stumbled across your channel a couple years ago, and used to watch your videos on my laptop during lunch. Well, you’ve since graduated to the big screen in the living room because your content is very deserving. Your drone shots are absolutely stunning…keep up the awesome work!
You did not disappoint. I love your videos! Northern BC was my home for 40 years I understand the feeling of going home💚💚💚
I hope the people of BC and Alaska want to keep that place as natural as possible for as long as possible.. It's a gem of the world and humans haven't been to smart with nature. The places he's been visiting needs to remain as is ( except the towns of course need growth ).
People might have objecting opinions on electric cars and going to clean energy world but seeing places Dustin has been showing should be motivation enough to make it happen..
As always , thanks for the great content ❤
Has anyone, ever, seen a more masterful video on CZcams? Truly, best vid I've ever seen. Ever.
That’s very nice, thank you.
Alaska. The last frontier of the wild and free. Like yourself l have been to many of coastal towns and cities of Alaska. I have met and work along side indigenous fisherman in glacier bays. Listen to the roar and thunder of falling glaciers up close. Bald Eagles diving from 100 feet above to fetch a Salmon from the ocean. Bears climbing into fisherman's boats. White shelled beaches as far as your eye can see. Northern lights the greatest light show on earth. So much to see and experience. It humbles you and to be thankful for nature's beauty. The best part of it all that it is free for us to enjoy. Dustin you capture this and much more. Your filming and editing is first class. Story lines are professional and always interesting. Thank you for sharing .
That lake is absolutely stunning!
Keep 'em coming man. Been watching a while and in both cinematography and story telling you're among the best in the business. Even when the bulk of your plan goes out the window you still manage to bring us something informative and entertaining. Nothing but gratitude from me, and welcome back to BC.
It's awesome to see such well done videos of where I was born and traveled as a young child. My father traveled much further into the wilderness, hunting. Sometimes by horseback but I've only seen a few photos. This would have been back in the early 60s
Loved the twins, haha. That lake was beautiful!!!! Thanks
No need for an apology your videos are so special, each and every one has a magic to them and that’s the magic of you! New Patreon and I’m glad to support as someone who loves travel and adventure the gas ain’t cheap! (Esp diesel)
Thank you for enjoying and for the support.
Thank you for another wonderful trip! The history! The views!
I'm so sorry things didn't work out but it is what it is and mother nature know best. We still was lucky to see some beautiful photo's . You make it possible for us to travel with you and see the splender of nature at its most. Thank you Dustin
You are very welcome.
Thanks again Dustin every video makes me realize why I live in this beautiful province we have🤘
Short or long, you do a Fantastic job capturing the beautiful landscapes, interesting towns, history, and of course, the people around you. Thanks for sharing!
Another great adventure and the scenery was beautiful. Thank you for taking us along.
Just epic goodness, keep going man, don't sweat nothing, you're the best Canadian/Northern adventure creator on youtube :)
Thanks Dustin another fantastic job. One of the best channels on the tube. As always thanks for taking us along. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much.
Love the video. Makes me miss home. Highlight of my day. Sitting in the dark on the east coast of Canada thanks to hurricane Fiona.
Ahh Prince Rupert is my old stomping grounds! Love your other videos of Rupert. Thanks for visiting!
Just happened that I woke up at just after 4am. And to my surprise, you uploaded a vid to go with my morning coffee. It's absolutely breathe taking. I just want to pack up right now & head North. Amazing colors in those fall trees,crystal clear lakes & waterways of turquoise. Can almost smell the crispness of fall in the air & with your wonderful skills in photography. Makes the vid pop! Thanks Dustin, until next whip it time....Stay safe & awesome!
Thank you so much.
We had a real crummy day that cruiseship day and if Ken is not willing to fly you know it’s bad. Looks like you got a good flight in with Adrien for some kind of adventure. Love your videos as usual! Living vicariously through your travels!
My favorite part of a Saturday is when your video comes out
Mine too ;)
I’m always in awe when I get to watch the next adventure,Dustin you are truly a pro and you should have over a million subscribers!
Great work sir thank you for all your hard work!!!!
No worries! Safe travels! Thank you for sharing!
You knocked this one out of the park, just GREAT
The drone footage is stunning. And set with the perfect music. Fascinating history. I learn so much from each episode. And I just love Mec Hanic!! My only complaint is that the videos are just not long enough! Keep up the good work Dustin. You're doing great!
Excellent video
That’s why I love living in Canada. Best place on earth.
Thanks
Dont be sorry man, this video was great, I really love the mix of you travelling along with some locals giving the history on the places you visit
I’m glad you had the opportunity to get together with good friends. Your video was excellent anyway. Take care and safe travels.
Found your channel 2 months ago. Just about watched every single video! You've inspired me to make better content! Thank you so much!! Keep up your outstanding work!!
That opening Shot is spectacular. Along with many to follow. Great camera work as usual my friend.
This video was great, don't beat yourself up about not getting an "adventure" in it at all.
Wait wait wait wait now. You mean this was an amazingly filmed and well produced video? Dont be hard on yourself. Your content never disappoints! Just dont give that giy Mick the camera!
Been to Skagway by cruise ship, but after seeing the footage you captured that is added to to list of drives I need to take. Loving the drone footage you are capturing lately.
I am delighted to see anything you post. I think you could even make grocery shopping an adventure. Sorry you missed out on this adventure
Phenomenal as always. Been stuck in PR like that before. Weather is the boss.
So surprised that you disliked Boya Lake. We’ve done most of that same trip and Boya Lk was actually the highlight of our entire trip. When we arrived (almost this same time of year), the campground was nearly empty. We had the most spectacular waterfront campsite looking out on that absolutely crystal clear turquoise marl lake with snow capped mountains across from us. There was almost complete silence there and the beauty was incredible. Sunrise, sunset, fog gently drifting off the lake. And the northern lights. It was absolute heaven for us, such that we extended our stay there. It was our favourite part of our entire trip north.
Forgot to mention, really enjoyed your Skagway segment. Superb, as per usual!
I don’t dislike Boya, I just avoid campgrounds lol. It is of course very beautiful, and your stay sounds so nice. Happy for that experience for you.
Last time we stopped at Boya Lake there were more bears than tourists. Go Figure!
That lake is stunning😊💜🧡
Still a very beautiful video Dustin. The Skagway history very interesting. Thanks again.
See ya next week.
Thanks as always for the amazing content!
❤️🤘😎
Thank you for the sneak peek, it was beautiful!
Your videos are always f*** amazing! You do want you need to because I’m a fan through and through as are there are tons of other folks feeling the same way. You bring sights and stories that are unique to you. Natgo and the like have absolutely nothing on you. Side note, your soundtracks are absolutely amazing! You choices are always spot on!!!! Peace and Blessings!
Thank you so much. :)
So sorry that it didn't work out with your friends but your video this week was stunning! You always do a spectacular job of filming and editing but this one was stellar in both of those. I now want to visit Alaska and Northern British Columbia to see these historic places that you have been showing. Thank you so much for that! 💖
Thank you
No short comings at all!!!!! Great video!! Thanks!!!!!
We're so sad Rupert weather didn't co-operate with your plans Dustin. Hope you still managed a shore visit with your friends. I did want to thank you for making my husbands day when you waved to him in Cow Bay this afternoon. 😀
So much beauty and so much talent !!!
Just can't thank you enough! Always Amazing!
WOW!! This is some unbelievable video editing on your part. I watch tons of content on CZcams and your channel is by far the most professional looking video editing I've seen. Keep them coming man great work
Loved the music selection on this one more than any others thus far.
Welcome home! Never ever worry about our expectations of what you put up on the channel. We will always enjoy everything you produce. Good Hope Lake was absolutely stunning!! Thanks for the tip--have dropped a pin on Ms. Google's map to check that one out. Fun seeing your Alter Ego again! Thanks for all your hard work, we appreciate all the amazing trips and views.
Wow! Another great educational adventure!! Beautiful! Thank you again for letting me tagalong!!
Love the intro with Mick the mechanic too funny 😂🤣
:)
In the 70s my grandparents retired early and drove an RV from Michigan to Skagway. We had lots of canned salmon that winter. And yes we all thought they were crazy. lol
