Rockhopper Adventures
США
Добавлен 10 ноя 2019
Welcome to my channel! During my life I've achieved numerous adventures, including two world's-first treks -- I was the first to walk the entire ocean shoreline of the West Coast of the USA from Canada to Mexico - a 13-month, 3300-mile journey. Later, I became the first to circumambulate New Zealand's South Island in similar fashion by walking the ocean shore of beaches, rocks, and cliffs -- 4,500 miles in 2 1/2 years. I received national and international publicity in various forms of media, like television. A newspaper dubbed me "The Rockhopper" so I thought it appropriate to call my channel Rockhopper Adventures.

Raising Five Kids In A Wall Tent In The Wilderness
So familiar. Like many other countries. I'm from Australia. The same broad narrative. And it should not be seen as a bad thing. Basically, for most people, life is far more comfortable in cities and towns. The decline in the birth rate globally is an issue that is far more important.
Great content! Really enjoyed this!
good family but my concern was their 5 kids future, education did they ask them if this the life they wants
As someone who grew up southwest Manitoba, I believe every town has a souris street because of the souris river. Souris itself is a small town in Manitoba a bit outside of Brandon MB. But the river itself travels down to the states through minot and back up near Regina sk.
Here in south west Manitoba we still have a ton of little towns with a good amount people still around with stores and gas stations still running from the 60s/70s. There’s still mainly small family farms and a lot, and I am a lot of wooden grain elevators, functional and none. My area is basically frozen in time from the 60s still. I love it. I’m still waiting for the day of the first evidence of change into the ghost towns of Saskatchewan though.
I love this guy.... Finding a beautiful woman in the middle of nowhere..and taking amazing pics of her
I love this guy ..He was as happy as a queer at a hotdog stand
Some random fun facts 16:58 these are from Surrey and I've seen them as far as Japan! Lil' step up from Ms. Vickees, plus they're done out of a new factory since I think last year. 17:45 Canola's the marketing name for Canadian rapeseed.
He should have taken a drive through Alameda and said Hi to my grandparents' house, which was one of the first homesteads in the town so many decades ago!
Thank you. That was interesting. Always been facilitated by Saskatchewan.
Good place to buy a fixer upper.
cant wait to go home ❤ B.C. is a nightmare
I did pilot training in Moose Jaw SK, and most of the town we're supposed to navigate to just... don't exist anymore!
The towns have done nothing to innovate or attract people. They appeal to an older crowd that gets smaller every year.
Wow !!! The picker in me was watching this going OHhhhh I'd grab this or that ... but once you said it made eastern Montana look busy I was impressed scared lol😅😅😅 driving the flats northern Montana heading east makes your brain fall into a near coma level which is oddly uncomfortable. Thanks for the video.
I drove through in the Winter of 2023, stopped by Bladworth, which is supposedly the first place that "Tin Lid Golf" or "Disc Golf" was invented. Like all these places, there was an old Grain Elevator, A few houses, and a stone carin. It's a beautiful place, but I can see how "Prairie Madness" existed before the time when you could easily escape to the mountains.

Be careful with deer mice as they carry hanta virus which is 50% fatal. Mice droppings, urine and saliva and carry virus weeks later. Symptoms resemble flu with large muscle group pain followed by respiratory issues. Can incubate for a month with no major symptoms then your are ill.... test takes a while to come back.
Nice
well there is only 3 towns in Canada Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal Canada is only 1 state compared to USA 100 years from now i doubt Canada will exist, how do you complete with 50 other states working against you?
I grew up in Esterhazy in the early 2000’s and had family all over the southern prairies, mainly in Estevan and Pangman. It’s sad to see the decline of these old towns I frequented for hockey games, family trips and drive ins. My family in Esterhazy are becoming victims of the potash mines closing up and poisoning the watershed. When big farming and mining corporations come then go, decline in the local community follows. I’ll never forget those crisp prairie mornings or incredible storm displays even as I’m out here on Vancouver Island.
you guys are gorgeous :)
Great video! Makes me want to drive highway 18 and experience everything you did. I’m from Vancouver so I never got to experience small town Canadian lifestyle. Now that I’m almost 70, I like the idea of quiet, no hustle and bustle lifestyle. And solo travel is the best.
Thanks! I wish you all the best in your future travels!
Those horses are absolutely stunning!! My own horse could be related...she was born in Saskatchewan and was a black and white paint. I have traveled through the province many times during many moves across this vast country but never as far south as this. There is an eerie yet alluring beauty to it all.....gotta love those old trucks!!
Why are these towns dying? One reason is that a large number of SK's population has moved to Alberta since the founding of both provinces in 1905. I remember asking my dad one time if there were also a lot of SK people in Calgary when he moved there from B.C. in 1950 and he told me that about half the licence plates were from SK. Nowadays a lot of SK people drive to Calgary for shopping on a weekend, but I'm sure that back then those were folks looking for better opportunities in Alberta, something that still happens in large numbers today.
I just farted......
That sea turtle is not as far from the ocean as you may think. Check out a water table extension of the Hudson Bay lol
But when is this? Early morning, evening, weekday, weekend?
Rock hopper gonna be hopping something else tonight 😂😂
Saskatchewan seems neglected in general. Ive now seen both Sask and Mexico and Mexico looked more prosperous. Nobody ever talks about it though just how much of "Canada" can outdo the third world for visible poverty. The people in Sask are very very nice way happier people than Albertans who supposedly have it all with endless oil wealth. If tax money is going to be taken from me and not spent in my local area in the name of "aid" id much rather have it go to Saskatchewan than Quebec, Israel or Ukraine.
big farma did this
You just fixed that cabin up be nice 👍👍 to staying in cabin

Hello 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
You know most people have never had real maple syrup. I had always gotten you know the typical store- bought kind. The stuff you get is mostly sugar and artificial flavoring, fake if you will. To eat a good pancake with real maple syrup is like a piece of haven. All this is a metaphor for the lovely lady Layton she is real maple syrup of the sweetest kind. thank you Rockhopper

Any Sasquatch out there ??
How about the large animals as neighbors, how about that ??? How do you keep safe in a tent ???
This all good and wonderful, until it comes to pesty insects. That just would spoil the peace.😊❤
My mom was born in rabbit lake. I watched this whole province of small towns die on The Vines through the 70s 80s and 90s. Great big Mega Farm Corp takeover everything and just spit us back the overpriced green that this whole country worked hard to build up into something worth having
I've never been to Sask but I plan on it. My grandpa was born in Nipawin in the early 20's. Found his way to BC to start a sawmill! Thanks for the great watch.
Thanks for watching!
One day New York and Toronto will be ruins. Entropy.
It’s not that these towns are dying it’s just that a handful of people own all the property in the town. Rural Saskatchewan people are super rich
i see this video has stirred many fond memories for the people watching. myself, i couldn't care less about these places. just not at all.
Thia ia ao well done. You captured the Vibe 🍁
Thank you!
Good
