Hey folks thanks for waiting around during the delay. I appreciate all your support. This episode take us up to the halfway point of our 700km journey. It was a tough one for me to edit and you will find out why. You'll probably have unanswered question's and concerns. It's a difficult life out there and every reward comes with a fight. I have written a book that will go further in depth on what happened in this episode, the others and what was never filmed. It will be released this summer along with Saku's own children's book. I will make copies available to you all when possible. As for the rest of the series there should be three more episodes out over the next three weeks. I'll keep you posted here and on my social channels. My aim is to upload Episode #6 this Sunday. Thanks for watchin.
Scary stuff, Saku must b a good swimmer to of got out of that. Did you replace any of your missing gear, I'm not sure I'd have felt safe to of carried on without a shotgun or at least something else to scare bears off?
wow, hooly dooly , what an episode to come back too, hey! Man, i would have have been just as torn up about saku as you were, but thankfully him and you were ok. It really goes to show how risky plans can be and how they can change in a split second. Hopefully there aren't any more "events" like that in future episodes! In hindsight, would you get a life vest for saku for other canoe trips in rapids? Or just not do them with him? lol Another great video, can't wait for the next one. Cheers mate
@@hoightb Hey man thanks for watching. The jacket is a touchy subject in white water for both man and dog. The issue is the hydraulics of the river. The are a recirculating currents in holes as you may know. If I get caught in one I need to remove the jacket to get propelled out. If Saku had gotten caught the buoyancy of the jacket would likely have pinned him in there because he could not remove it himself. Rescue would have been near impossible eventually drowning him by intake of water. The best bet was for me not to run it at all, but after hammering the first two I felt unstoppable. Lesson learned for me and hopefully many others
You win some, you lose some? Jason, you win every friggin’ endeavor you participate in! Hundreds of thousands of us wish we had the physical strength and fortitude that you have! Thanks sincerely! Thank God for Saku’s life!
I cried as I waited with sinking stomach as you called for Saku. Ten minutes after the video and I am still feeling your pain. God was definitely with you two, that day.
Screw the gear you lost, you got your dog back!! That's a MAJOR coup!!! You're a hardy fellow JB..living by your wits..you'll be fine, no doubt in my mind!!!
Damn. That was intense. There are not many videos on TH-cam that I've watched that made me completely focus and kind of hold my breath like that bit of you guys going down the rapids did. Glad you guys made it out only losing a couple things!
I just watched the video of you Funk and a friend were in the rain and Funk dunked first then when you turned to get her you dunked. This scene and that scene my heart raced and sank at the same time. Scary stuff, glad everyone is safe thank God!!
Saku’s one tough pup 🦴 a well deserved treat for the little man. I love your positive never say die attitude. What you’re doing is truly inspirational. Keep up the great work my friend. Already can’t wait for the next one 👍🏻👍🏻
Ugh the Newfound Marsh. In '97 I was a Katima-victim who helped cut a good portion of the East Coast Trail. I remember going out to scout and flag with a group of 5 of us. Trudging back to the car, I was last in line (and likely the heaviest) when I suddenly found myself waist deep in what had been, for the previous 4 people, solid ground. The wind and rain in this video brought back some pretty vivid and physical memories. One day I'll get back there.
Holy cow brother. That scene was the most emotionally intense moments I've seen in a while. My heart sank and my stomach dropped. I was terrified for Saku even though I've seen your uploads since and knew the outcome. I can only imagine how hard you were shaking during those 20 intense minutes. Sorry, I don't mean to make you re-live it. Just wow. I'm glad it worked out man. Keep up the awesome adventures!
I was thinking portage...when you came up on that area, high cold spring waters, and overloaded top heavy raft! I’m so relieved you and Saku are ok! Humbling moment no doubt and a great life lesson. Best adventure video series on TH-cam right now! Thank you for uploading this story of yours Justin.
Definitely but in the heat of the adventure confidence brews and obstacles don't seem as threatening. After running the first two I felt unstoppable. Lesson learned for me and hopefully many others. Appreciate you tuning in Mike buddy
A big accomplishment doesn't come easy or we would all be doing it. Risks are taken but we never want them to pan out. That was one daring white water and you paid a small ransom but got back quite the experience having been ejected from your voyage and that's what adventure is all about. How you manage to do it all yourself and still lay down an excellent video is beyond me. This series is the greatest . So glad you took the challenge.
Best episode yet - for the wrong reasons. My heart stopped for a few minutes, and I held my sweet lab Maya tighter during that time. Saku is a very special dog, you could see the relief in his eyes once he found you. Can’t wait for the remaining episodes.
“We will be dry, when we are dry” - Justin Barbour 2018 This one nearly had me in tears....when it ended 😭glad you and Saku are good. You learn to tie your gear down in the boat after you take a dunk. Thanks as always, looking forward to next weeks episode.
Very glad to see you both are doing good! An old saying that I tell my kids: If you make a mistake and you learn from it, it was NEVER a mistake to begin with ... it was a LESSON. I wish you all the best my friend (Saku too)!!
Justin best channel I have had the pleasure of watching. Dude you rock. I love that you don’t swear in your videos. My kids can watch with me. You should be on the discovery channel. Can’t wait to see more vids. Thanks buddy
Another great episode. My little one she’s 8 was having a tough day. Her mom just left for two weeks at muskrat falls. But Saku really cheered her up and helped her get to sleep tonight.
I cheated on episode 2 and checked to see if Saku was still alive in the last episode. So, I must say, as gut-wrenching and harrowing as this episode was to watch, I had the knowledge that you were both ok. Thank God! Exciting stuff. Greetings from South Africa.
wow not only am I happy to see an upload from you after the month break but seeing that whole ordeal with you and sak making it out okay after the raft flipped was breathtaking. Almost couldn't believe what I was watching I had to rewind a couple times, a gut wrenching scary scene no doubt! So glad you and sak made it out okay AND continued on your way like champs!!! Seriously man continue to stay safe and I'm hoping many more blessing keep coming your way..
That.....was....intense! I sat up in my seat when you and Saku went under. Then I was on edge until you found him! I am so glad the two of you made it out with all body parts intact. Best episode yet and I've been hooked since the beginning. Can't wait for the next episode!
The trust that Saku has in you is unconditional, so glad he is safe. I got separated from my beagle in a snow storm before, it took over 2 hours of searching before he just popped out of the bushes like he was on a stroll at the beach.
So glad I watched crossing Labrador before this series, otherwise I wouldn't have enjoyed waiting to find out if Saku made it out of the rapids alive. Thank god you both did!! This series is giving me life during Covid isolation...thank you!
Saku is such a good BOY! standing still while you adjusted the pack. But what a nightmare when you dumped. Poor critter. wonder how he ended up where he did. Go safely!
Well worth the wait sir. Can't lie I got a little choked up and anxious inside when you were desperately crying out for Saku, glad you boys made it out. Hell of an episode.
You are a soul to be admired at many levels, your adventurous spirit, you positivity, your optimism, you respect and enjoyment of nature, your sincerity and your overall skills as an outdoorsman. I was specially very touched and understanding of your deep despair when you lost Saku for a while. Without realizing it you displayed your innate sensitivity, your humanism and your immediate priorities., all to be appreciated . You are a rare good man. I am thankful for people like you around and am fortunate to have got to know you through video media. My favourite thing you say often is , “Sak, what do you think bud ? “
As per the other four episodes, number 5 was a pleasure to watch. Adventure got REAL there buddy when the raft overturned, could have been a disaster in more ways than one. Your right , we all get complacent when we get comfortable in a situation, but these accidental events, remind us of the dangers everywhere. Keep up the adventures. Many of us, are using your eyes and experiences, to travel Newfoundland that many of us cannot do. Thanks Justin for letting us share the experience.
Justin, my son!! Your one lucky boy. I've capitalized a canoe in a cold river, and I was minutes from home. I can't imagine what you must of felt, being out there.what a journe! I have to tell ya I'm enjoying the series more then most stuff I've seen. Great job man.
So well edited Justin. Must've been such a hard thing to do. The hat is well and truly tipped to you sir; so hardcore. I raised a beer in honour of Saku, your good self, Scout (recently departed) and Joe. Very different people I know but tough times are tough times and we deserve to give each other solace and friendship, especially when things go South!! Much love indeed.
You lucky bastard Justin....The wife actually yelled out no! So glad you skated by that dump in the water. I'm very impressed with the mental toughness you demonstrated and the way you didn't dawdle and pressed on once all was accounted for.Well done brother.
My family moved to St.Alban's in 1966, my dad helped build the Hydro Dam. Had to fly in by Company Plane,no Roads to the Trans Canada. Coastal Boat was the only link to the outside. Maybe see some old school mates or Family. Safe travels,Glad Saku came out OK. Showing me Places I haven't seen since 1996.
WOW! Bit tense there. You never know, one day you're catchin fish and relaxing around the fire and the next in an instant all can change. Way to keep it cool in that situation. I'm loving every minute of your journey and the sceneries and sunsets are crazy beautiful. Loved the shot with the stars and moon at the setting. Thanks again for taking us along Justin. Keith
Hey bud, Murph here. Sure glad you and Sak made it out alright. I couldn’t imagine what was going threw your mind when you couldn’t find him. But again awesome flick. Really enjoy your content. Can’t wait to see that haul of trout you scored there next video. Cheers Justin Buddy.
Unbelievable. My heart sank when I heard the concern/panic in your voice after capsizing and losing Saku. So glad there was just some “minor” gear loss and not something worse. Stay safe out there. Cheers.
Omg, this was the most intense one, I could hear the fear in your voice. I am impressed by your ability to recognize the learning lesson. So relieved you were both ok.
I wept while you were calling for Saku; primarily due to the emotions conveyed in your voice that were raw, visceral and real. That both of you came through unscathed was truly fortunate. I look forward to watching the rest of your trip. Keep up the great work!
That written invironment info is great. Like, I do have a sense of what a marsh is, but more precise info makes the video much more relatable. Great job man!
OMG I was soooo engrossed in this vid , my heart was in my throat when you and Sak upset in the river , thank GOD you both made it , and made it un hurt , that river is surely a force to be reckoned with, anxiously awaiting Ep 6. Take care , great video as always.
Loving this series. So raw and real, great job capturing all beauty as well as the harsh realities of such an epic adventure. Your optimism and positive outlook on life is infectious and inspirational. I felt sick watching the raft flip, and then you calling out to your copilot Sak. Just glad your both okay. Looking forward to your next release. Godspeed.
I cried when Saku was lost and I was happy when I saw the bears thank you for sharing all these emotions your adventure is beautiful 👍I follow you 🇫🇷 Al Bushcraft
saved this episode and 6 as I've a few days off work sat down tonight with the family (yes the whole family are watching) doesn't get better! I watched your live stream, the other week, so knew that you and Saku were ok, but when the raft tipped it didn't stop the shock, it goes too show how things can change in a split second, glad you were both ok. Thanks for bringing us with you on your journey.
Ok, I thought by reading the comments in advance I was forewarned and braced for the unfortunate event, but as soon as I heard your heart wrenching sob for Saku, I began to cry. It seems his Kibbles made it through alright ;-)
Justin man, this episode was great, that had me on the edge of my chair, what a great job you did staying as calm as you did. A shotgun and battery can be replaced, you and Saku can’t. A inexperienced person may not have survived this. Can’t wait for the next one
Wow all I can say is I know this is epic that's all I can say and it's thanks be to God you and your companion Saku survived, it's lent I gave up TH-cam for the week so I only watch videos on Sunday except for today is St Joseph's feast day. Bad things happen to good people that's just the way it is but God's watching over you.
Wow. what an amazing episode. What a hazardous adventure you and Saku had. Understand why the spill in the raft is so difficult for you to watch. I could see that you were in shock for a while there. I'm sure others will agree that it was such a relief once we found out Saku made it as did you. So lucky. Really looking forward to future episodes. Thanks Justin and God Bless.
By far the most exciting and riveting episode yet! So glad everything turned out ok after you both fell overboard! Sure looked scary!! Can't wait for the next one.
Wow that was something! This 54 yr old man isn’t ashamed to admit that I choked up a bit when you were crying out for Saku. Thank God you’re both ok 👍 Take care and God bless ✌️
The fact that you recovered most of your gear , and had the willpower to carry on without hitting that sos button on your inreach amazes me. Glad you and saku lived to share this awesome adventure . By far my favorite thing to watch on the tube. Except maybe my Leafs beating your Habs.
Brother Justin !! What a great episode. What a true blessing that you and Saku made it out with your lives. My wife and I enjoyed your attitude, the way you pressed on. Even with the loss of a gun and charging equipment. The true gift is you still have your faithful companion.
OMG! I was on the edge of my seat and actually had to skip ahead in the video to see if Saku was there before I could watch the rest. Glad you both made it though ok, good thing it was on the last leg of your trip! Congrats to you and Saku on your books! Thanks for sharing!
This is the best outdoor adventure i've seen on youtube , amazing !!! I did look ahead to make sure Saku was alright, what a series . The editing, the filming ...major motion picture quality and the music is perfect to !!! Big fan
This episode was worth the wait Justin, so glad you and Saku are safe. I've got furry children myself and I know exactly how you must have felt during those moments, I'm sure those 20 minutes felt like 20 hours and when you finally spotted old Sak you must have been overwhelmed with emotion. I did a river trip with a friend last spring in a canoe, lots of snow melt here in Alberta made for some fairly intense rapids. Same thing happened to us, we were smashing the lines and feeling quite confident... All too quickly we dove into a section and got bounced off a large boulder and turned sideways against the next one, the strong current grabbed hold of our sideways canoe and rolled us over in a second. Lucky it didn't fold the boat in half! Can't wait for the next episode!
I’ve done my fair share of adventuring, survived a couple near-deaths (hypothermia, ran out of water, drowning), so I know how that moment feels. Good on you for keeping it raw and in the story, sharing the grit; we all learn from watching it.
Wow, crazy episode bud. Kudos to you and Sak. I'm surprised u got him back in the raft at all. lol. I can only imagine Heathers thoughts when you told and showed her the video.
Another one for the books. You put off as good a show as anything I've seen on discovery or national geographic. I'm happy both you and your buddy got out of the rapids alright. You must have felt awful lost and hopeless for the 20 minutes or so while you were looking for saku. No trouble to hear the panic in your voice. Thanks for the raw emotional experience. Great episode.
That was definitely very hard to watch - I’m glad you kept your head on and handled it so well. You are a great team! Thanks as always for the video, and can’t wait for the next. Give Saku a pet for me 👌🏼
Jesus that water must have been pins and needles cold boy. Happy you and saku made it out without a scratch ! that could have been really bad for both of you!. Keep up the hard work and adventures ! can't wait for the next episode
WOW....just WOW. Worth the wait. Best episode so far. Love your philosophy on making mistakes. We wouldnt have come so far as humans (some may say too far) if it wasnt for trial and error. Kudos to you and Saku.

Hey folks thanks for waiting around during the delay. I appreciate all your support.
This episode take us up to the halfway point of our 700km journey. It was a tough one for me to edit and you will find out why. You'll probably have unanswered question's and concerns. It's a difficult life out there and every reward comes with a fight. I have written a book that will go further in depth on what happened in this episode, the others and what was never filmed. It will be released this summer along with Saku's own children's book. I will make copies available to you all when possible.
As for the rest of the series there should be three more episodes out over the next three weeks. I'll keep you posted here and on my social channels. My aim is to upload Episode #6 this Sunday.
Thanks for watchin.
Amazing job bud! I'll keep an eye out for the book! So glad you were able to recover the footage.
Scary stuff, Saku must b a good swimmer to of got out of that. Did you replace any of your missing gear, I'm not sure I'd have felt safe to of carried on without a shotgun or at least something else to scare bears off?
thats good to hear - put me down fer a book there pard
wow, hooly dooly , what an episode to come back too, hey! Man, i would have have been just as torn up about saku as you were, but thankfully him and you were ok. It really goes to show how risky plans can be and how they can change in a split second.
Hopefully there aren't any more "events" like that in future episodes!
In hindsight, would you get a life vest for saku for other canoe trips in rapids? Or just not do them with him? lol
Another great video, can't wait for the next one. Cheers mate
@@hoightb Hey man thanks for watching. The jacket is a touchy subject in white water for both man and dog. The issue is the hydraulics of the river. The are a recirculating currents in holes as you may know. If I get caught in one I need to remove the jacket to get propelled out. If Saku had gotten caught the buoyancy of the jacket would likely have pinned him in there because he could not remove it himself. Rescue would have been near impossible eventually drowning him by intake of water. The best bet was for me not to run it at all, but after hammering the first two I felt unstoppable. Lesson learned for me and hopefully many others
You win some, you lose some?
Jason, you win every friggin’ endeavor you participate in!
Hundreds of thousands of us wish we had the physical strength and fortitude that you have!
Thanks sincerely!
Thank God for Saku’s life!
You are a Beast! Truly love your videos.. Most respect. Love between a man and his dog is more then a friendship! They are family..
I cried as I waited with sinking stomach as you called for Saku. Ten minutes after the video and I am still feeling your pain. God was definitely with you two, that day.
Someone was watching for sure I'm 100 percent convinced. Appreciate you watching Kate
That's an interesting perspective. So what would you say to a starving child in Yemen? God had better things to do?
@@pathwithin1519 what would cause a person to reply like that?
Screw the gear you lost, you got your dog back!! That's a MAJOR coup!!!
You're a hardy fellow JB..living by your wits..you'll be fine, no doubt in my mind!!!
Damn. That was intense. There are not many videos on TH-cam that I've watched that made me completely focus and kind of hold my breath like that bit of you guys going down the rapids did. Glad you guys made it out only losing a couple things!
For sure brother real lucky. A lot of things happened on that day that will never make sense to me. Someone had our backs. Thanks for watching
Love both of your guys videos.
I just watched the video of you Funk and a friend were in the rain and Funk dunked first then when you turned to get her you dunked. This scene and that scene my heart raced and sank at the same time. Scary stuff, glad everyone is safe thank God!!
Saku’s one tough pup 🦴 a well deserved treat for the little man. I love your positive never say die attitude. What you’re doing is truly inspirational. Keep up the great work my friend. Already can’t wait for the next one 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Gary I'm glad to take you along for the ride
Ok...so what is the award for top adventure dog and how do I nominate him. Seriously.... The byes are back.
I want Saku’s children’s book for my daughter no doubt about it. Keep up the good work, Justin. You are a good soul.
Thanks Luke I will have updates this summer when it's released! Appreciate you tuning in man and hope the daughter enjoys it too

Holy jumpin jesus, what a rush! Get a life jacket for Saku especially for the river runs.....
He did ok, any kind of harness is in danger of snagging and trapping the helpless dog.
My heart dropped. Justin, man, you got your Pup back. Thank God.
Keep em comin', bud.

Very glad to see you both are doing good! An old saying that I tell my kids: If you make a mistake and you learn from it, it was NEVER a mistake to begin with ... it was a LESSON. I wish you all the best my friend (Saku too)!!

You always have a positive attitude under the worst conditions ...👍
Another great episode. My little one she’s 8 was having a tough day. Her mom just left for two weeks at muskrat falls. But Saku really cheered her up and helped her get to sleep tonight.

This 68 day video series is the greatest series on TH-cam and that Saku moment was scary
Thanks Shawn really appreciate that buddy

Amazing glad it turned out well for you too. Ya never know what will happen out there. Cheers, Justin
Such an incredible dog saku is, amazing for him to swim to shaw for safety. But it really makes your realise how carful you need to be outdoors
So glad I watched crossing Labrador before this series, otherwise I wouldn't have enjoyed waiting to find out if Saku made it out of the rapids alive. Thank god you both did!! This series is giving me life during Covid isolation...thank you!
Saku is such a good BOY! standing still while you adjusted the pack. But what a nightmare when you dumped. Poor critter. wonder how he ended up where he did. Go safely!
My heart sunk for Saku, so happy you both are okay. Jesus.
Well worth the wait sir. Can't lie I got a little choked up and anxious inside when you were desperately crying out for Saku, glad you boys made it out. Hell of an episode.
Just watching this series now. OMG I was in tears listening to you calling for Saku.
One heck of a standing wave, Saku is a swimmer.
You are a soul to be admired at many levels, your adventurous spirit, you positivity, your optimism, you respect and enjoyment of nature, your sincerity and your overall skills as an outdoorsman. I was specially very touched and understanding of your deep despair when you lost Saku for a while. Without realizing it you displayed your innate sensitivity, your humanism and your immediate priorities., all to be appreciated . You are a rare good man.

Thanks really appreciate the kind words!
Yikes! That was scary. So glad that you and Saku are safely reunited. Needed that happy ending.
I could feel it in my gut when you hit those rapids. Thank God you and Saku made it through
For sure thanks for watching Michael
That was a hard watch after seeing the friendship build between you two. So glad you and Saku were ok. Wow.

That's what I did too Shawn!
WOW!!! What a rush .......! I'm so very happy that you and Saku are alive and well after that scare! Way to keep on keepin' on !

G,day Justin and Sauk laying here in my hospital bed and saw your video was up ...made my day a little less boring...Cheers from Australia
Thanks Peter glad I could help!
God was and is with you. You are fighting the good fight. Please do not stop.
You lucky bastard Justin....The wife actually yelled out no! So glad you skated by that dump in the water. I'm very impressed with the mental toughness you demonstrated and the way you didn't dawdle and pressed on once all was accounted for.Well done brother.
My heart dropped! I thought Saku was gone! Thank God. Loving the adventure. Be careful out there!
Thanks Lynell, appreciate you tuning in : ), all the best from Newfoundland
Holy crap Justin, I almost lost it when I saw that footage! Adrenalin overload.. you too' hey bud! So thankful you and Saku made 'er out ok!
My family moved to St.Alban's in 1966, my dad helped build the Hydro Dam.
Had to fly in by Company Plane,no Roads to the Trans Canada. Coastal Boat was the only link to the outside.
Maybe see some old school mates or Family. Safe travels,Glad Saku came out OK.
Showing me Places I haven't seen since 1996.
Glad both you and Saku are ok after that ordeal. I was on the edge of my seat.
Jeeeeze, so lucky that you and Saku got out of that mess alive and uninjured. So happy for you, what a scary scene.
Amen, to that brotha. Glad you kept that, it's so important. Bless you, .... you have a life long friend in Saku. 🌹👍
I teared up reading the river toss in the book and it was so much more stressful to watch. I'm glad you're both okay
WOW! Bit tense there. You never know, one day you're catchin fish and relaxing around the fire and the next in an instant all can change. Way to keep it cool in that situation.
I'm loving every minute of your journey and the sceneries and sunsets are crazy beautiful. Loved the shot with the stars and moon at the setting.
Thanks again for taking us along Justin.
Keith
Appreciate you tuning in Keith!
Hey bud, Murph here. Sure glad you and Sak made it out alright. I couldn’t imagine what was going threw your mind when you couldn’t find him. But again awesome flick. Really enjoy your content. Can’t wait to see that haul of trout you scored there next video. Cheers Justin Buddy.
Really, the best man and dog vs nature out there in the digital universe. Good music, too. Love it.
Unbelievable. My heart sank when I heard the concern/panic in your voice after capsizing and losing Saku. So glad there was just some “minor” gear loss and not something worse. Stay safe out there. Cheers.
Omg, this was the most intense one, I could hear the fear in your voice. I am impressed by your ability to recognize the learning lesson. So relieved you were both ok.
I wept while you were calling for Saku; primarily due to the emotions conveyed in your voice that were raw, visceral and real. That both of you came through unscathed was truly fortunate. I look forward to watching the rest of your trip. Keep up the great work!
That written invironment info is great. Like, I do have a sense of what a marsh is, but more precise info makes the video much more relatable. Great job man!
@ Justin Barbour. That rapids wipe out was very intense. Very! Good on you that you are OK and made it out.
OMG I was soooo engrossed in this vid , my heart was in my throat when you and Sak upset in the river , thank GOD you both made it , and made it un hurt , that river is surely a force to be reckoned with, anxiously awaiting Ep 6. Take care , great video as always.
Loving this series. So raw and real, great job capturing all beauty as well as the harsh realities of such an epic adventure. Your optimism and positive outlook on life is infectious and inspirational. I felt sick watching the raft flip, and then you calling out to your copilot Sak. Just glad your both okay. Looking forward to your next release. Godspeed.
Thanks Brad I appreciate it man. Glad you tuned in and dropped a line. Cheers till the next one 👍
I cried when Saku was lost and I was happy when I saw the bears thank you for sharing all these emotions your adventure is beautiful 👍I follow you 🇫🇷 Al Bushcraft
Thank AL!
I'll be definitely wanting a copy of that book, Justin. You'll go down in Canadian history, Bud! That's for sure.
saved this episode and 6 as I've a few days off work sat down tonight with the family (yes the whole family are watching) doesn't get better! I watched your live stream, the other week, so knew that you and Saku were ok, but when the raft tipped it didn't stop the shock, it goes too show how things can change in a split second, glad you were both ok. Thanks for bringing us with you on your journey.
Ok, I thought by reading the comments in advance I was forewarned and braced for the unfortunate event, but as soon as I heard your heart wrenching sob for Saku, I began to cry. It seems his Kibbles made it through alright ;-)
Holy shit Justin, my God! You are truly blessed my friend.
Justin man, this episode was great, that had me on the edge of my chair, what a great job you did staying as calm as you did. A shotgun and battery can be replaced, you and Saku can’t. A inexperienced person may not have survived this. Can’t wait for the next one
Absolutely, thanks Sean appreciate you tuning in buddy, cheers.
Wow, that was intense. I feel for your emotions at that time, tough stuff.
Wow all I can say is I know this is epic that's all I can say and it's thanks be to God you and your companion Saku survived, it's lent I gave up TH-cam for the week so I only watch videos on Sunday except for today is St Joseph's feast day. Bad things happen to good people that's just the way it is but God's watching over you.
Wow. what an amazing episode. What a hazardous adventure you and Saku had. Understand why the spill in the raft is so difficult for you to watch. I could see that you were in shock for a while there. I'm sure others will agree that it was such a relief once we found out Saku made it as did you. So lucky. Really looking forward to future episodes. Thanks Justin and God Bless.
I so enjoy watching your adventure. Your channel is one of my favorite. Saku is my favorite dog, love him......I'm so glad he is okay.
By far the most exciting and riveting episode yet!
So glad everything turned out ok after you both fell overboard! Sure looked scary!!
Can't wait for the next one.
Wow that was something! This 54 yr old man isn’t ashamed to admit that I choked up a bit when you were crying out for Saku. Thank God you’re both ok 👍 Take care and God bless ✌️
Bro, that was intense man! I was worried Saku was gone, so glad you found him. What a journey
The fact that you recovered most of your gear , and had the willpower to carry on without hitting that sos button on your inreach amazes me. Glad you and saku lived to share this awesome adventure . By far my favorite thing to watch on the tube. Except maybe my Leafs beating your Habs.
Great video Justin!..wow what a spill,thank God you and Saku are okay...what a great companion Saku is!
Thanks as always John, appreciate you continued support buddy
Brother Justin !! What a great episode. What a true blessing that you and Saku made it out with your lives. My wife and I enjoyed your attitude, the way you pressed on. Even with the loss of a gun and charging equipment. The true gift is you still have your faithful companion.
Best TH-cam video EVER! WOW, so glad Saku made it
So happy Saku is home with us, safe and sound! Gave him some extra pats tonight ❤
Great episode, you had me holding my breath for a minute during those rapids. Glad Saku made it out! Looking forward to the next one.
OMG! I was on the edge of my seat and actually had to skip ahead in the video to see if Saku was there before I could watch the rest. Glad you both made it though ok, good thing it was on the last leg of your trip! Congrats to you and Saku on your books! Thanks for sharing!
This is the best outdoor adventure i've seen on youtube , amazing !!! I did look ahead to make sure Saku was alright, what a series . The editing, the filming ...major motion picture quality and the music is perfect to !!! Big fan
Thank God You 2 made it through that one, what an adrenaline rush that must have been.
This episode was worth the wait Justin, so glad you and Saku are safe. I've got furry children myself and I know exactly how you must have felt during those moments, I'm sure those 20 minutes felt like 20 hours and when you finally spotted old Sak you must have been overwhelmed with emotion.
I did a river trip with a friend last spring in a canoe, lots of snow melt here in Alberta made for some fairly intense rapids. Same thing happened to us, we were smashing the lines and feeling quite confident... All too quickly we dove into a section and got bounced off a large boulder and turned sideways against the next one, the strong current grabbed hold of our sideways canoe and rolled us over in a second. Lucky it didn't fold the boat in half!
Can't wait for the next episode!
Wow thats a story there. Thanks for sharing and really appreciate you tuning in. Cheers from Newfoundland catch ya in the next one 👍
Holy crap! my heart just sunk when you tipped in the rapids. Great episode man keep it up.
Thanks close call for sure, appreciate you watching!
I’ve done my fair share of adventuring, survived a couple near-deaths (hypothermia, ran out of water, drowning), so I know how that moment feels. Good on you for keeping it raw and in the story, sharing the grit; we all learn from watching it.
Amazing and emotional, don't think I ever felt anything like that in an expedition video!
Greetings from the north west territories.
Like your channel, keep it up!!
and the nitty gritty is what separates the strong from the weak!
So glad Saku was OK. My heart jumped a bit wee there. Great series Justin, keep it up!
Thanks for watching Mr., catch ya in the next one
Wow, crazy episode bud. Kudos to you and Sak. I'm surprised u got him back in the raft at all. lol. I can only imagine Heathers thoughts when you told and showed her the video.
Another one for the books. You put off as good a show as anything I've seen on discovery or national geographic. I'm happy both you and your buddy got out of the rapids alright. You must have felt awful lost and hopeless for the 20 minutes or so while you were looking for saku. No trouble to hear the panic in your voice. Thanks for the raw emotional experience. Great episode.
That was definitely very hard to watch - I’m glad you kept your head on and handled it so well. You are a great team! Thanks as always for the video, and can’t wait for the next. Give Saku a pet for me 👌🏼
Jesus that water must have been pins and needles cold boy. Happy you and saku made it out without a scratch ! that could have been really bad for both of you!. Keep up the hard work and adventures ! can't wait for the next episode
That one scared the hell out of me. Take care of yourself and Saku
Thanks for another episode! I always look forward to watching your videos. I'm glad you and Saku ended up being ok, real eye opener!
WOW....just WOW. Worth the wait. Best episode so far. Love your philosophy on making mistakes. We wouldnt have come so far as humans (some may say too far) if it wasnt for trial and error. Kudos to you and Saku.
Man I could watch this forever- can’t wait for more across Labrador videos but for now this is definitely going to do
