- Welcome to Season....uh...five? I've lost count. Let's go by location. Welcome to Newfoundland!
This episode is all about history. We're trying a new system with seasons where we provide a historical base episode up front, and then are free to be a bit more abstract as the season progresses. Hopefully it will translate onto your end.
From our perspective, this season has been incredibly fun to film. Likely the best ever. We've added a new crew member named Eric, who will be joining us as much as possible in the future, helping out with all sorts on the back end. He's the guy kissing the cod at the end.
Looking forward to seeing how y'all like it. Vinland here we go!

The United States and Canada came to a agreement to prevent Newfoundland from becoming a American State . The United States had no interest, also, the Newfoundland had more connections( more to Nova Scotia) , economic connections to Canada than the United States. Another interesting fact, Newfoundland almost became Israel , the British proposed it to become the Jewish homeland.
Thank you for mentioning St. Pierre and and Miquelon but I could not help but scoff when you said the cod was back as the same Canadian government had also made it impossible for the people of St. Pierre to be able to fish cod for their lively hood and now they have no choice but to rely on continued investment from France just to keep on living.
Why do you pronounce it New Finland?
I love that you must've shot down those stairs and hurdled over the couch to get that last unbroken shot, it's admirable.
1:23 This, is Newfoundland... 1:26 ... bitch.
10:20 Just imagine you're at home minding your own business, and then a man casually walks into your house, narrating, slowly making his way downstairs to sit on your couch, seemingly unaware that you're even there. He takes nothing. He just narrates, then leaves
according to stereotypes of newfie hospitality this seems like the case lol
looks pretty sus
As long as he takes his shoes off at the door, he's okay.
Wow. This video is amazing. My great grandfather was one of the 10% who came home from that battle. Thank you for this.
My Prussian Jewish Grandfather was the only US Army Feild Surgone of the original eight, to survive WWII. Not all of them were killed by Nazi Germany, as the British Army thought they were shelling a German Feild Hospital, At least one of the doctors "went for a walk" with a Colt 1911...

**That moment you realise Evan can teleport**
In the last couple of months you have become my number one favourite channel on youtube. Thank you so much for these windows into the world!
For me too!
I had some good times there. Even met Smallwood.
Kissed the cod, drank the oil, and the screech.
You know great people when if they don’t recognize you they invite you to a party.
No wind...not impossible....I was sitting on the cannons up at the top of Signal Hill the night before Canada Day, 1996. The sun was going down...the moon was coming up over Mount Pearl....Danny and the Bruisers were kicking up a storm on the waterfront stage...and there was not a HINT of a breeze. I know...because it was first time I had ever been bitten by mosquitos up on the hill.....lol. But sitting there by myself on a perfect warm summer night will stay in my memories till the day I day. It was that perfect a moment.
I really can't thank you enough - honestly - for all the genuinely cool information I've learned from you.
And your videos keep getting better.
You guys seriously rock.
This is honestly the most underrated channel on youtube. Every single video you put out is absolutely golden! Evan, your work is a masterpiece
Love that you're making some episodes closer to home. Canadians don't discuss their history (good or bad) very often.
Have you seen Canadiana ?
They do really good, Canadian history stories.

After spending time in northern Maine, I’ve always meant to research Newfoundland. This video was fascinating. Undoubtedly for the best that Newfoundland joined Canada and not America.
I mean, we get all kinds of Newfies in Alberta... and I honestly cannot imagine how Americans would handle Newfies going about places.
They make Florida seem coherent and straight forward.
@@NimhLabs I would hope without all the "Florida man" shenanigans and murders though?
@@SolarFlareAmerica no murders. Just car accidents, whether from weather, drinking and driving or moose. Plenty of harmless shenanigans.

This was an absolute treat. I cannot possibly overstate how unfathomably interesting your videos are and they just keep getting better! Thank you for making these! Thank you for every single one!
As a Florida sailor I’ve had the good fortune to work with many sailors from Newfoundland and consistently they are the most sincere and honest folks I’ve had the pleasure to meet. Great video as always.
This is what this channel is about, pushing boundaries. I love the camera work. You're not always on the screen when you're talking, seamless transitions between "b-roll" and "a-roll" great stuff!
I love how you speak about the people that were killed and exploited by the Colonists and not just about the European Perspective like many docus. It is necessary to know and feel for the people that were sacrificed to gain land. No need to repent for it, if you don't want to, but don't forget that there were people with their own dreams, family & way of life that were forcibly killed to make way for the Europeans. Forgive, but not Forget.
What is "the european perspective"? Are there any recent documentaries that don't condemn colonisation?
Loved the Cinematography in this episode, really great to see your style and brand change over time. Keep up the good work :D this channel is truly something special
These videos are so modest but so very elegant and informative. Love the style!
I'm a patron now! Excellent series, thank you for your work.
I so enjoy your videos that I just had to become a Patreon, and delighted to be so.
You guys do good camera work. When you walked into the house and left the door open, I could almost hear my mother yelling about letting the bugs in. I was so relieved to hear the door shut a few seconds later. That's probably not good from a cinematography perspective, but at least you won''t have bugs in the house.
You've got some really well thought out shots in this video, I love the panning shots in the kitchen and the seamless narration as the camera moves around. Well done!
I couldn’t have been happier about the location of this series. Keep up the great work!
Since touching on Newfoundland I hope you have plans to explore more on Labrador. It's always nice to see my home showcased even if it's just the island part of it.
totally agree!
I've been following this channel for a year now because I love hearing about cultures all over the world and their stories. Today I check my subscriptions and I see a video about my home province, telling the same stories I tell my friends from away at the pub. I hope you enjoy/enjoyed your stay! :)
I love your videos. Just finished watching a video on the war of 1812 this morning which is oddly somewhat relative to your video today. Thanks for all your videos they are very interesting and pretty well presented and getting better all the time.
Another great one. I often feel Canada and we Canadians are thought of as an "also ran". That the elephant to the south may just roll over on us, the "mice of the north". We're rarely mentioned on the world stage (a ten minute video I once watched about universal healthcare didn't mention Canada once!) as anything more than America's northern neighbours, who are "polite" and "nice". My response is when you're watching a fight and five minutes later a hockey game breaks out, with the stands baying for blood~that's the best and worst of us all rolled into one. Loyal to our teams to a fault, cheering on a team that hasn't won "The Cup" in 50 years (sorry Leafs) fans show up as though it was won last year. And willing to put fist to face if someone says anything negative about our game~or country. As our PM said "...we won't be pushed around."
We are fiercly patriotic, but not in a loud and obnoxious way (like some I could mention), rather, quietly proud and no matter, through thick and thin, we honestly think it's the best country in the world.
About 2 years ago now, Canada literally said "don't bother calling, we won't answer", when The Tragically Hip, or as we lovingly call them, "The Hip", played their last concert in my city, Kingston Ontario, because Gord Downey the lead singer and the band were saying goodbye forever. He died little more than a year later.
We have the second largest land mass, just 35 million hearty souls, winters that bear down on us like a cold slap upside the head from the extreme north, freezing us to the bone, summers that last no longer than a blink of the eye, wet cool springs with promise of that blazing summer and an autumn that is absolutely breathtaking with colour. We take all of this majesty and tragedy in stride, because above all. Above everything~
WE ARE CANADIAN! 🍁

Welcome back to Canada :) Very excited for this season
Sad this is one of your least viewed videos. I really loved this as just a peek of a place few around the world have heard about. This is everything I love about your channel, thanks for the content!
Your channel has been getting better and better. You have taught me things and made me feel even more! :D I can't chip in every single month, but you got yourself a patreon supporter, whenever I can :)
This channel gives a deep look of stuff but is seriously underrated for the valuable insight it gives. I feel lucky to have come across this channel.
Greetings from Newfoundland! So glad you did a video on our beautiful island
I did a dozen, even.
@@RareEarthSeries And I cant wait to watch them all!
Almost screamed when I saw this. So happy to see you doinf a season in Newfoundland.
Such a good video. The camera work and script sounded like you put even more extra effort into making them great
Evan, I've been binging and enjoying so many of the little documentaries!
Was in Newfoundland for five weeks this summer doing volunteer work and traveling. It was such an amazing experience and I will eventually go back. I have several questions about your visit, but I will just enjoy watching your videos!
These videos are crazy good! Thank you!!
These videos bring so much joy to my Saturdays. Thank you all so much.
Thank you for coming back to watch them.
I'm moving to Newfoundland in November! Absolutely amazing that you made a video on it.
Ok.. This cameraman deserves a drink! That panning and coming back to the narrator in a different setting.. oh! What awesomeness! I loved it! It kinda distracted from the narration since I was following it so closely, but it was a pleasure for my eyes.
Awesome! I just love this channel more and more! 🤗
You are such a poet. I wish they play these type of show on TV.
Another wonderful video, Evan. As a Nova Scotian, I was both extremely interested in this history and shocked that I didn't know. Thank you for continuing to make these videos.
You and your peers represent the very best corner of the internet. Never stop. Please
Man, every video you do is awesome!
Always a wonderful job man. Thanks.
Right on Buddy! Good job all round.
Great video as always,you really deserve more subs
In 1990 my friend convinced me to go on vacation to Newfoundland. We traveled all over, sometimes not seeing another human on the road all day. We had moose sausage at a little bed and break-
fast in St. John's, cod tongues in Cow Head, and baked Alaska in Parson's tourist home somewhere along the way to Lanse Aux Meadows. We took the ferry to St. Pierre. I've never been so seasick in my life, but later had a wonderful French dinner of roast duck. Back in St. John's, we had lobster in a Chinese restaurant of all places. Lovely people, impeccable roads, freezing cold and frozen
vegetables were all you could get....in June! Still, a wonderful experience overall. I love Canada.
It is Canada’s heart and we can hear it beat thru its music.
Yes, I love that you are doing stories of Canada!
Newfoundland is a beautiful place with a rich and interesting history, so thank you for sharing it with the world. Most people , inside and outside of Canada think theyre "those funny east people" but its always so much more. I loved my trip there and I hope to return, and your video reminded me of that.
Thank you.
Absolutely adore the editing and camera work in this episode, so seamless. Not saying it's bad in other episodes, just that this one might be the best.
Of course it's the best yet, its home(Newfoundland)
That ending.... LoL
Thanks your creations are a breath of fresh air.
My mother was a Smallwood. Im so excited to see more about my home land. I can't thank you enough.
Beautiful yard! Pine, birch, amazing rock outcropping, goals right there.
Awesome video. We visited NFLD in August by driving all around the island. Every Canadian should make a point to visit this treasure. I was blown away by the geology, the people etc. It is Canada's beating heart. well done!!
Newfoundland is a beautiful place. I've been there twice. There's a lot of cool history to cover there too. I eagerly await the next couple videos and what you'll bring this time.
I love this guys voice! And he tells some of the best stories on the Web.
Love the videos guys keep up the awesome work!!! :)
Boy O boy...another history channel...new sub. and enjoying your content.
NewfinLAND! One of the neatest places I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Looking forward to the rest of the season, it's off to a great start!
Mad props to Francesco, smoothly climbing through windows while shooting!
Your channel is one of the few reasons to stay on youtube. Thank you!
I really enjoyed the part where you walked in and around the homes. It really shows you how some of these people live.
The terrain which requires their homes to sometimes be on non flat ground.
My father is from Deer lake... His mother was born in a logging camp just a few miles from it.
I love driving from Halifax to Deer lake and seeing how beautiful the Codroy valley is.
My favourite place their is Gros Morne National park. Where you can see the only place on Earth where the crust of the Earth flipped over so you can see the mantle now on top... Nothing grows in that place.
Going into Trout River my grandfather helped build that road connecting the village to Deer Lake.
My father just told me that one of my great grandfather owned a whaling crew! Amazing to know that.
I am a 7th generation Newfoundlander.
When I learned about Newfoundland in grade school I cried when I heard that we killed the Beothuk . I felt so devastated that they were extinct. That seemed very wrong to my core. But I am still proud of my Newfoundland relationship. We are a strong community.
I was born in Halifax but when I would arrive to visit my grandparents and other relatives all would say How long are you Home for? Because they know it is hard to make a living on Newfoundland and for generations people go to other provinces to work and come HOME regularly. It is my HOME away from HOME.
Whenever browsing the satellite earth view, I always gravitate to zooming in on that far eastern part of Canada for some reason. It looks fascinating. Great video again, per usual.
thanks! I'd heard of but never seen footage of Newfoundland before, or known anything about it's history.
Another masterpiece. Thanks
Time for my weekly dose of increased existential dread.
not today
I love this channel! You should come down here to Mississippi and do a few episodes. We have quite a deep history that is not paid attention to outside of our state and a culture that no one truly understands I guess.
Man I love this channel.
I can feel your connection here. So excited for Canada :-)
never have i know such honest generosity as that of the friendship of a Newfoundlander..
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. If you’re looking for an idea, a video about the Battle of Restigouche would be interesting. Really important part of North American history that I think not so many know about.
Love that opening shot!
That was my favorite of your videos yet😊
Maybe it's because I dream of going to Newfoundland. It is my favorite place. I hope to see it some day.
I have lost sight of you for a while, I'm glad to have found you again
I now have various Great Big Sea songs cycling through my head! (I'm ok with that!)
Funny camera work. Tip, next time hand the camera to a second guy through the window and follow him in one seamless shot.
LOST OPPORTUNITY FOR GREATNESS.
Patreon me another 1400 a month and I'm there.

I liked the discontinuity and gave the visuals an ethereal feel.
I enjoyed the camera work in this one.
Great Vid in particular the camerawork is getting better with each episode.The use of the steadicam view in combination with your voice is near perfection. It creates an immersive feeling by combining tone and visual styling. There is still room for improvement though. The audio has tonal differences between scenes and the visual flow would be improved if you for instance would have continued the story from the intro to the derelict boat scene by walking into it with the same flowing camera movement. Just my 5 cents.
Rare Earth always with the top notch camera work
best show you've ever made!
More Canada videos :) Always happy to see.
I am on my fifth video of yours, am totally hooked, and I love your endnotes. I think you should be doing historical broadcasts on Canadian TV....as long I can gain access.
Thanks for this, it was in my recommendations today!
In western Canada I’ve noticed that when Newfoundland is mentioned to newcomers and tourists to this part of the country, they all think it’s some scandinavian country. I lived in Mount Pearl for a year so it’s kind of fun educating them a little bit. Btw would have stayed in Newf if not for the entire family being out west!
I like all the wandering and lurking. It ads a kind of "Where's Waldo" game-like quality to the video.
And you showed that camera who's boss.
Other than that I had no idea what you were talking about, but that was entirely a function of my dog brain (apologies to all canines) and short attention span.
Your filming intro was awesome!
What an amazing episode. :)
This video is full of new found knowledge for me.
Great episode! Read about the basque experience of Newfoundland recently in a basque history book. Very exciting
John Guy gets the credit for the “first colony” in 1610 but the oldest deed of land on the island of Newfoundland dates to 1595 in Porte-de-Grave.
According to folklore; when John Guy sailed into Conception Bay , he sailed to Porte-de-Grave whereby the people living there directed him southwards towards what is now Cupids.
Apparently they told him - “over there is a lovely spot to set up your “colony” but we were HERE first “ (this is our land).
Enjoyed your video about our island ; informative and interesting
Good stuff
Well done.
Very cool, thoughtful channel. I even showed one to my Mom!
Could you please show the geographic location on the map so it is easy to put the thing into context. Great episode, love your show. Keep up the good work. :)
I love you and your videos.
brilliant...
Excellent voice and visuals.
That one piece of unlocked siding on the house was driving me crazy lol
Was eagerly waiting for season 5
Great work friend!
