Yup, adventuring with Destination Adventures is the adult equivalent of Saturday morning cartoons.

I lived in Stewart when I was 10 years old, my stepfather worked in the mine. I remember we went to Hyder for New Years and our can got stuck on the way and someone picked us up in a truck, and my Sfather left the pinto on the side of the road. The party at the bar was all families, and pretty drunk parents..lol. We were all stuck at the bar for the night. One guy had a heart attacked and died that night, and they propped him up in the phone booth (i think it was a coffin??). And everyone had a shot of hyderize to honour the man… then they wrapped him up and put him on the back porch… When we got out late in the afternoon the next day, we found our car destroyed, a huge bolder had came off the cliff above and lander right on the pinto! That spring, when the airport opened, my mom booked flight out for her and us kids, and told my stepdad, “you can stay or pack up the house and meet us back in Campbell River, but the kids and I are leaving!” I have always wanted to go back.. I remember snow being higher than the telephone poles? Just found some pictures the other day…

I've been to Hyder. It was the first time I had ever stepped into a bar. Might have been that bar? I was 7. It was 1977, and I guess the rules were pretty lax back then lol

A great adventure. I am 68 and no money to travel with, so I really enjoy traveling with you. You make great videos with good content. Keep up the good work.

I've lived in Alaska for the last 52 years, it takes a really special type of person and mindset to live in Alaska. The weather, lack of daylight during the winter season are the things that exclude most. I'd never live in this area because you can only access it by air or by coming through Canada which is expensive because of duty fees and limits and a pain in the ass.

@mikebritton8798

@RussellBond-zh9qw yeah. You're right. It does take a tough person to live in Alaska. The lack of daylight might bother me, but I've been through tough conditions and would like to see it. The other thing is that I've lived in Nebraska all my life and, at my age, don't really have that much desire to pick up and leave. Too many connections here. But I sure would like to see Alaska.

If you want to talk about old pieces of equipment you should have stopped in for a chat with my Dad. He is 83 born and raised in Stewart and worked his whole career as a mechanic and equipment operated in the area. He probably can tell you about most of the old trucks you found.

The Shasta pop can brought back memories. We used to drink their pop back in the early sixties in the Lower Mainland. Hasta, Hasta to be Shasta was the jingle on the TV.

Thanks for the interesting tour of Hyder.

Got Hyderized back in 1996 and planning a trip back this fall if all goes well. Thanks for the great video.

Totally said "thanks for tuning into another episode of Dustination Adventure" at the end, dont act like you didnt! lol!

It's a lot more fun being where you've been when you're showing a new friend!

I love that town. Got my broken tooth replaced there once. lol

Growing up in Kitimat, not far from Hyder - is comical to think back on - but as kids in elementary and high school, nearly every young guy claimed to have been Hyderized lol.....which I have my doubts on today! As an adult I have fomally been Hyderized!

What a treasure trove of stuff ! What gets me is those big equipment rigs why nobody sold them off but dumped them 🤔 Looks like that would of been a really cool town back in the day ! As far of why so many places like this are being abandoned is due to economics and this generations need to be landlocked in a suburban setting with conveniences 🏪 Its awesomeness the world has someone like you who appreciates places like this to bring us history 101 while having fun 😁! Thanks again for another adventure Dustin Aloha 🌲 🐻

Thanks for your videos Dustin, I spent a few years there as a child as my father worked for the Granduc Mining Company and unfortunately died on one of the Salmon glacier there while working there. As a kid it was a great place to grow up for some formative years.

Probably just missed you! We left Stewart this morning to head home to Kamloops. Eating fudge from Caroline as I watch this episode!! We chatted with her for a bit while our kids stood there patiently. Then she gave my kids a couple souvenirs for being good kids. She felt it was important to reward good behaviour and wanted them to know that it wasn’t unnoticed. It was a great gesture

Caroline is an absolutely brilliant human being. I learned about her from this channel and I met her once. Super talented person and thankful to have her as my friend.

Welcome Emi! I have to say you are an amazing young woman, out on boats, hiking through forests, just love it. So thank you and welcome here, glad to know you. Dustin, thank you again for your films, we enjoy them immensely. We believe you show us what Canada looked like many, many years ago. Take care and stay away from stinging plants!

It boggles my mind how so many trucks, cars and equipment are left to erode. Makes me wonder why it couldn't have been sold off when not needed, had to be expensive at one time. Maybe just wasn't feasable. Having said that, what a great video, I really enjoyed that. Would love to see some more videos where you go into towns like this as I enjoy these types as much as the ones in the wilderness you do so well. Thank you again for a great video.

Imagine how expensive it was to get them up there when they were able to generate an income. Now the cost is much higher and they’re second grade rust buckets.

So proud of Emi. I was not brave enough to get "Hyderized" last summer

It's sad to see Hyder slowly decaying. My first trip there was years ago, and at that time there were still quite a few little shops open. There was a couple of local horses who wandered the town and would come up to you or your vehicle looking for a treat. We had one of them stick it's head right inside the truck window! The scenery is worth the trip over though!

The national average price per liter in 1979 was 23.6 cents nationally, Canada switched from imperial gallons to litres in 1979. So a lot of those buildings were older than 1979. We've been officially Destinationized!

Saturday morning adventures with Dustin and Emi❤

Used to be legendary fish and chips , and burgers , served out of an old bus in Hyder only a few years back. The Bear viewing walk is impressive and a 'must do' during the salmon runs.

Being a dual citizen, towns like this are really appealing to me. I checked the Hyder market on Zillow - 2 listings and none of them are commercial at the moment (didn't even see the general store).

Always a great morning watching Destination Adventure! Re: the border cut/slash - it’s maintained by the international boundary commission, a joint Canada-US venture, and they maintain the slash and boundary monuments along the entire border. They use machines when they can, but otherwise, it’s by hand.

Always look forward to Coffee with Dustin Saturday mornings! Thanks very cool video!!

it,s always sad to see towns being running down as always good work dustin 👍👍

Love it ! You can absolutely make a video worth watching . Great video Dustin.

Another amazing adventure! As many others have commented this is my Saturday morning ritual, I could spend a month there exploring. Thanks for sharing 👍

Really cool seeing this. I was hyderized back in 1977.

That was interesting! Thanks for taking us along! 🥰

What a neat adventure of Hyder. All the old vehicles and equipment hidden in the bushes. I bet there is a lot of great stories of the history of the area. What a different border crossing . 😊

The pace of today's film just suited my mood so well. Thanks Dustin beautifully shot as always x.

I have been to Stewart and Hyder several times and been Hyderized twice. You have caught the flavourful of the area perfectly. well done Dustin.

I guess that orange van/truck at 5:22 is trying to be the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard.

Thanks for another adventure.

Thank you for another excellent episode. I was in Hyder in 2007 and it looks like there is a tad more happening there now than back then. One thing I recall vividly is a house where an elderly lady (very disabled) was selling photographs of the area that she had taken herself when she was younger and fitter. She said that she had moved to Hyder from San Francisco. I guess that she has passed now, but I'd love to hear from anyone who knows anything about her story?

Mother nature seems to work fast trying to reclaim our human footprint up in the pacific northwest, but thank you for searching out what she is trying to hide. I get why you like seeing all that old iron, now knowing you once were an operator. Seeing Hyder today sure gets you thinking about what it must have been like back in the day trying to carve out a living in a remote area, and how ruggedly beautiful that area is. Thanks Dustin for bringing us along with you once again on another adventure! see you on the next one!

Cheers 🥃🥃 to you & Emi. You got it done!

Dude! How could you miss Hyder's most famous attraction? You gotta see the smoldering town dump on fire to see the scavenging black bears. It's worth a drive through. My theory on all of the busses is that Hyder was the final stop on a lot of hippy bus living tours from the 60's and 70's. On our road trip from California, my friend and I stopped at every bead shop we saw and bought a few random beads. After the trip, I made two necklaces as mementos. Caroline, I believe, sold me a sweet red stone skull that became the centerpiece of mine, set off by some red dyed pigs teeth from Brazil that were hanging on the rear view mirror of my friends VW Rabbit. And lastly... When we were there, our neighbors at the campsite were a group of dudes from Montana or somewhere thereabouts, who had bought a minibus from a college sports team and made a group roadtrip for the salmon run. They had been there for two weeks and no salmon came to join them. They had to head home without a single fish. At least they tried and had an adventure anyways. Keep on truckin' on!

Very cool 👍👍

Thanks Dustin, what an amazing place to see. The views of the mountains are incredible. IF you get up to Watson lake, there is a WW2 Bomber that ditched but was pulled out to the south side I believe opposite the airport.

I love how nature just takes over. Fantastic video!

Kinda afraid of exploring the woods at night. The last time I did that bigfoot saw ME and I had to run. 😝

Thank you Sir

What a cool little town!

This episode is doing what I love! Exploring old buildings, townsites, and areas around. As always, another great video. Thank you for the adventure ❣️

Much more alive when I was there in the 1990's. Makes me sad to see that things are not going good for them. Hope you had bearspray with you. Thanks for the tour.

As always a great video when I got stationed in Fairbanks AK at FT Wainwright I drove through there I believe it was 1993 and it did look a bit different with more of the businesses were open . I actually fueled up there

We had a maintainer like that on the farm originally the municipality owned it but after its end of life my dad a councillor ended up with it. It was originally designed to be pulled by horses. We pulled it with the tractor and once big enough I rode the maintainer maually raising and lowering the blade to grade the driveway spread gravel or in the field fill in washouts.

I’d be shittin bricks biking around those back roads with all those massive bears around lol.

My wife and spend a great deal of our recreational time up there, northern BC, Yukon, Northwest Territories. With out trying to be too manly or be "that" guy the bears up there are not the bears of say Yellowstone. Not habituated to campers so they run, given half a chance. I'm more wary of moose up there than bears.

Another awesome adventure 😊❤ i may not always comment but i do watch n like every video 😊 enjoy the music too

Great informative docu on Hyder, so well done, thanks Dustin, have fun and I will be watching :)

My uncle was in the US Coast Guard and was stationed in the area in the 60s. Just last week, he was telling me some stories about being in Hyder.

That's a neat little quiet town. Probably a great place to relax and get away from the busy city life. I never heard that, Dustination Adventure 😂 Love it.

Having been there several times times……the gold mine which was in Canada: the only road to it went through Hyder. A bus had a schedule run with the miners and guests. There were big poker games at the camp and my brother went up. One of his comments was how many stops it made to let the miners pee!

Love that ole wessy!!

Always enjoy your content Dustin!

Absolutely love to watch your videos. Always informative, interesting and respectful. You’re a fabulous person!

Aw yeah another ghost town. That old plow truck is super cool. What looks like either a 1987 Pontiac safari wagon or Chevy Caprice wagon just in the middle of the forest really makes you wonder about the history of the place too. As always, great work Dustin!

Yet again another stellar video! The cinematography, and sound is a cut above the rest. And to top the experience a very likable host with a wonderful attitude towards everything! We should all be so lucky. Well done again my friend! Absolutely enjoy each and every video.
