Explosives, Remains and Deadly Caves. 15,000 Years of Frozen History. Destination Adventure

- Every year, weather it is BC or Alaska, I make my way to visit the Glaciers. There is a specific energy I feel at a Glacier that I have not experienced anywhere else. I don't know if it is the size, the history, the power or just the sheer complexity of a glacier, but I have been mesmerized year after year.
I have spent days watching the tidewater glaciers calve into the ocean. I have been fortunate to witness the river path change and erode massive sections of glacier, revealing earth that hasn't been seen in thousands of years. But this year was a new experience for me, and my first time crossing a complete glacier.
I know it is not safe to walk on a glacier, but this particular section is far down and quite flat and consistent all the way across. It was a risk I was willing to take, and I am happy that I did. People have been using this particular glacier for more than 100 years, exploring the mountains in search of gold. In fact, I couldn't walk for more than five minutes without finding some kind of human remains, left behind from a time long gone. Some of these items may be sitting today, exactly where they were lost before, but I assume many of them have ended up on the ice from avalanche and land slides. Never the less, they will ride the mighty glacier until it reaches the outflow, and ultimately the Pacific Ocean.
The trip up to the Salmon Glacier is a world class drive, and worth the trip just in its self. There are few places in the world where you can drive from the ocean to a glacier in little more than 20 km. The wildlife is prevalent, the views are endless and the air is pure, what more can an adventurer ask for.

Saturday mornings wouldn't be the same without you Dustin
🍻 ☕️ 😊
@@Destination_Adventurebeers before coffee, the kind of adventurous choice I'd expect you to make. 😂
This glacier makes Glacier National Park look like a hockey rink. So amazing!
Noticed that your subs are ticking back up. You must have made the algorithm gods happy. Congrats!
When I was growing up in Stewart in the 80's to mid 90's, the Salmon Glacier was the 2nd longest in the world.
Your drone is turning you into a cinematic star
I was worried for you on the glacier. Don't take risks for us bro.
Well Dustin thanks for taking a ing risk to show me something I will never see in my life 👍👍🇦🇺
Wow Dustin! It made me so nervous watching you down that steep cliff. Please, please, please stay safe. Our Saturday mornings won't be the same without you.
Dustin hi from Calgary, thanks for the glacier trip. There is a particular crunch when crossing a glacier ice once you've experienced it you will never forget it. I have the greatest level of respect for your back country travel talents however. As a regular to glacier travel I'd need to add the following;
Glacier travel is NOT for Joe hiker it is extremely dangerous. *** Stop 🛑 Do not travel on ANY glacier without an ACMG rated guide or investing in proper glacier travel and crevasse rescue training *** both are easily found on the internet. Its a place of beauty and excitement but please choose to enjoy it responsibly.
Thanks for another great posting best of luck making your way up the Cassiar.
Was my 35th birthday yesterday. So im watching today.
You truly are living the dream my man.
We all grew up with david attenborough and watching exploration videos. We all lust for that experience and get to live it through you dustin.
Cheers to you my man, and the best of luck!
Happy belated. 😊
Dustin, I think this is one of those videos where your Mom holds her Breath until she sees you’re safe!
😳👍🏼. Great shots and thank you for the educational hike! Just beautiful!
Keep safe Brother!
😳. 😊
A cool refreshing video while we're experiencing 100 plus temps lately. Fifty years ago, I would be out there climbing around too. Phew! I'm exhausted just watching you do all the work for me. Thank you for taking me on an adventure from the comfort of my own home.
Amazing video as always, thanks for doing what you do. I typically thumbs up the video at the beginning, then settle in for the show.
I have walked glaciers before .. truely beautiful. Thank you for the views and the hike.
Happy weekend everyone 😊👍
Man this is the best art of my day when I catch these early morning uploads by Dustin ;)
🍻
Your Drone Skills are amazing! A true inspiration. Thank you Sir!
Walking a glacier is truly an experience… Not only amazing but frightening as well… And as you walked that glacier, you brought me back to the time that I was able to do those things… It is magnificent.
This trip is going really well, but let us find a new place along the way.
Let’s whip it…💥
Take care of each other and see you next Saturday ❤
Another great display of these communities Mark
Beautiful country Dustin! Thank you for taking us with you!
Wow, we are enduring a heat wave here in the States and your walking on a glacier!! Amazing! Thanks for the relief from the heat!
Your videos are so relaxing. It's like zen on demand. When ever I need to relax from stress I put on one of your videos even if I've seen it. Thank you Dustin.
Thank you Dustin. You show us things most of us would never have the chance to see. Nor the nerve. Thank you
Thanks for sharing,i would bet on this video you have walked where no other man ever has--great video
I’m still waiting to see if you will tell us what you ran across last year that you had to turn the camera away.
If I remember right it was a dead animal that he came across.
Wow sooooo steep. Yikes. Your making me nervous! 😊😊😊
I don’t think it was _just_ a dead animal, probably human remains, ie some sort of ceremonial/traditional burial
Sounds about right@@thegzak
I don't recall that. Which adventure was it?
Absolutely awesome video and story, as usual. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing places with us. Please be extra careful when you go alone on these treks, a simple injury could put you in a bad spot, and that is definitely not what we want for you. We need you whole and healthy so you can keep on showing us all these amazing places that are so out of reach for most of us. Take good care and protect yourself at all times. Love & Light to you and Amy. 🖖🍁🦀🦐🍺
Just like a Mountain Goat, great footage, thanks Dustin
Great views, always wanted to come up and hick when I was younger. But those days are long gone. Thanks for bringing us along. ❤❤❤
That should have been hike
I came across your channel recently and I must say I’m really enjoying it especially as at my age I’m never going to be able to do, but enjoying coming along with you on your trips, thanks. Jenny 😊
This is the best channel on RUclips.
Thank you for another spectacular video. You take us to places that most of us will likely never be able to go to. Especially those of us referred to as "Fossils". Your video captured that climb so well that my legs are sore now. Be well. Stay safe. See you next week.
Brilliant watch thanks from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing. I wasn't sure about you stating you were staying in Canada, but this is amazing. Keep em coming.
Jezz Dustin balls of steel to walk on that glacier. Braver than me!
Walking across that glacier reminded me of when I walked across the Konwakiton Glacier on my hike up to the top of Mount Shasta in Northern California in 1987. Always enjoy your videos Dustin.
Thank you for going the extra mile, literally, for us. Your dedication is truly appreciated. However, I must urge you not to take such risks on a glacier again. It's alarming to think of what could happen if you fell in a hidden crevasse. Your safety is paramount! Saturdays wouldn't be the same without you. Love watching you and Emmy!
usually I start my Saturday with Destination Adventure, but this morning I was on my own adventure, I was in Victoria.
So I am ending my day with Dustination Adventure
As always beautiful video of beautiful and wonderful places thank you
Amazing 😮 Keep up the great work. You are my spirit animal. 😂✌️❤️🇨🇦
What's up Dustin
Look amazing, especially since it's been triple digits where I live.
Be safe n enjoy it.
I was the only one at the view point when I was there last summer and I can't even describe the feelings I had just standing there, alone in awe of what I was seeing. Watching you out there walking on it was unbelievable. When I was there I thought I could see some kind of path down below the viewpoint. This is the most incredible place I've ever been and you took it to another level for me. Thanks Dustin
That trail you see is the old mine road, it mainly parallels the glacier about halfway down. To have the viewpoint solo is a lucky day too. 😊
We had the same experience all alone up there I totally get it was and still is indescribable. Dustin's photography comes the closest
@@Destination_Adventure we rode mt bikes on that rode end to end cool all the equipment on and around that old mine road I'm guessing to monitor the movement of the glacier? It looked like there was another old road on the other sideof the glacier (west side) from your drone shot? Curious know any history of that road?
Hi Dustin
the video is know one of my favorites, I've been fortunate enough to have visited the glacier twice, it truly is a fantastic area,
The best adventures are those that don't involve a trail. Happy adventuring and see ya next week :)
Epic!what an amazing place you have to explore,jealous as but happy as you share with us :-) Now I wait....wed fix till next weekend
Ok this freaked me out so much! Beautiful but ... be careful!!
Dustin, Thank you for bringing your adventures into our living room for us to enjoy!
Awesome Dustin, scary, but awesome 🙌 👍👍
Hi, I love all the videos when you walk on glaciers. I want to go to Alaska and see the glaciers. I have been watching you for years and this is my favorite time. Thank you and God bless you on your adventures.
Spectacular. It is unbelievable how I get to witness something I love but can't do. Grew up in what is known here in the states as "Boy Scouts". I only made 'Life Scout' but because I was having too much fun doing everything except to get to Eagle Scout. Still, I can say I learned to love everything you do. I'm an old guy now. You Dustin are my eyes. Thank You so so much for what you allow us (me) to see.
🍻 very happy to have you along. 😊
Thank you. Without someone like you someone like me would not see that!! I live in the UK near Sheffield.
Truly a beautiful area up there in Stewart.
TY and God Bless!!! Stay safe!!!
Another great video. That glacier is so cool looking. I drove through the Pine Pass last weekend for the hundred time but I was able to appreciate the beauty of it more this time after watching how you show the beauty of your surroundings.
Great Saturday morning adventure.
I takes some serious mental strength to be alone out there in nature where anything can happen. I really appreciate what you do! Im definitely not built for that sort of thing! 😅 Thank you for ALL your work. Not just what you bring, but what it takes on a personal level. Be safe! 😊
Gotta be fit to make that trip.
And what a spectacular trip it was to see!
My compliments for making such great use of the drone to illustrate the vastness of this glacier!
We got some neat glaciers in Switzerland, but they're not what they used to be thanks to climate change and some are mostly gone by now. But the other difference is, you dont feel as alone and isolated as it looks in this video...
Hopefully I can get a chance to see some glaciers in other countries while they’re still around.
Glacier anxiety triggered
Hello I’m back lost the channel because RUclips unsubscribed me for some reason but found it. Amazing video again
I hate to read these comments, but I do see them often. I wonder what’s going on with RUclips. Happy to have you back.
@@Destination_Adventure yeah I hate RUclips I’m trying to fugue it out but being on the outher side of the world ain’t help because I have to wait 12 hrs for a reply to my email because they are not in at night but all I know is that they are doing this for some reason
I like your definition of a hiking trail 👍 When they ask you for a suggested trail they are really just wanting a walking path. Your way is far better 👍
Enjoyed your video this morning, doing something that I’ll probably never do 😎
Sitting here on what will be another hot and humid day, I have to say that snow and ice look welcoming. Thanks for taking us along with you.
Beautifully terrifying. Be safe out there Dustin, and thank you for the amazing views. 👍
Another wicked Saturday with Dustin and the great outdoors. Great video like always!
🍻 😊
I swear each video just gets better and better! The glacier was just amazing! I’ve spent time on the glacier at the Columbia icefields, but wasn’t able to freely move around like you, just stunning! I am really hoping next year I can make the trip up north and see some of these things, beautiful as always!
I absolutely love your videos, the cinematography is amazing. And this video was an absolute stunner! Thank you!!!
First one seeing this video! Yeah baby! I'm lovin' it Dustin. Keep it up.
😊
Just beautiful! Thank you
as always great stuff thanks, safe travels
Man, you went above and beyond getting that video, well done.
Your videos are beautiful Dustin
Thank you very much.
Sorry RUclips kicked me out of subscription and don't know why!!! I've caught up and liked and commented on everything!!! Even watched a bunch of old ones back to 6years ago. Didn't realize I was watching 6 years ago. Thanks for so much great content!!! Makes my day!!!
Very happy to have you back. 🤘🏻
Love that Adventure 💫
pretty wild place to be! I re-visited a glacier up in Jasper that my grandpa took video of me climbing as a kid 30 years ago. the entire thing is gone now!
That was great. Thank you ❤
Pretty cool...
After watching this, all I can think about, is a gin and tonic with the best ice in the World.
All that was missing, was a slice of lime.
One of my personal favourite openings of all your videos.
I bet that beer tasted really good after that hike :)
Nice job, safe travels, cheers...
I loved that opening too. Such a fun experience. 😊
like clockwork on saturday 👍🏽💯
😊
as always a great show!
That glacier!!!! Such blue in the water and ice! Was the road you took on the mountain and old logging road? Its hard to imagine the vastness of the glacier and mountains beyond but i just love how you can capture the imagination with the views from the drone!!!! Great job and just so enjoyable to see this great country! Looking forward to what comes next!!!! Stay safe!!!
Thank you so much for this...awesome storytelling.
Beautiful photography, man! Thanks for sharing with us.
That’s some high quality H2O
Thanks that place was awesome I enjoyed watching once again
Man, I would have a freaking heart attack climbing up that mountain.
Wow Dustin!! Just wow!!!!
Well done, Dustin and Emmie (sp?)
Just breathtaking! Would love to get out there someday!
Awesome trip!!
Sounds crunchy. Loved the video bud!
Thanks guys!
A bag of crab legs. Now that's a topper for a sack lunch
Awesome vids
Can't wait to go back to Alaska to do that, thanks for the video
Definitely a casing from a Recoiless Rifle round. Not an SME on RR's, but guessing by the size of your hand, either 57mm or 75mm (unless you've got catcher's mitts for hands!). Not sure if either saw active service with Canadian Forces though(?)
Please don't put your life in danger to get more subs.❤❤❤
I was lucky enough to spend a summer in Stewart and saw Summit Lake both full and empty
Awesome 👌
In my opinion you should carry a tracker. So if fall and break your leg etc, Emi can tell resue people where to go. If there someone close by. Take care of yourself.🤕😊
Thank you.
Homies out here cosplaying Death Stranding 🎉🎉🎉
Another banger!
Taking a small piece of the glove or mysterious wood you find to get carbon dated would be cool and add another element to the videos
The risks you take make it seem easy, but I know from my much younger days how scary it can be even for an expert (which I absolutely and emphatically am NOT). I hope you made out your will before taking some of the chances you are taking, and have named Emi as your beneficiary.
Got a mick for prime minister shirt and I can't wait to wear it!
