I went for a run yesterday and explored Renfrew Ravine Park in Vancouver... The water level was low enough so that I could hop across the rocks along the creek. There were tons of salmonberries for me to eat and they were super ripe (much redder than usual).

​​ @glcried "Well I married a girl from Tonasket, in this very town (?). And we lived in Australia for a year and then I wanted to come here and- you know, an adventure. So I had a secure business over there (in Australia), so I wanted to leave the family business. So I come over here; (Oscar: "so you met her in Australia?") I met her in Canada. So I come over here and I bought this old building, it's an old gas station from my father-in-law. And I started this business, and this town has been good to me. Like it's- it's made me.. you know.. prosperous. Like people say you can't prosper in Tonasket because it's a very low socio-economic community. But, an actual fact, you can. Especially for an Aussie. Because Aussies are all investors you know? And.. and no one here is an investor and I bought like houses for $30,000 and they were giving you like, $100 dollars a week (not sure that's actually what he says), which doesn't match but it pays for itself plus gives you an income you know? So it's- it's really- so this was cash flow in (car drives by so can't hear anything), I've been here 27 years and now I'm leaving." (story ends)

That's far from the thickest Aussie accent I've heard. Some people from certain outback towns have crazy strong accents stronger than that.

It doesn't sound very thick to me. Sounds like a more broad than general Australian but as an australian it sounded like he picked up some canadian features in his accent, which may explain why it might sound "thick". Like the way he says "yeah" at 12:00 is very much North American rather than Australian.

This is making me so nostalgic for my grandparents. I used to travel around in an RV with my grandparents as a young kid. Enjoy your grandparents while they are still alive kids!

Great blog Oscar. I lived in Hope for about 6 months when I was a lot younger, and hated practically every second of it & moved away as soon as I could. But my mom loved it, and stayed there right till she died. I still remember one day waking up at her place, looking out the window & 3 black bears were just sitting out in the yard chilling. Yeah, the interior of B.C. (& Washington has some too) has a lot of wine growing. Too bad that you picked last month to come here, when it was raining 50% of the days. Its been sunny & 20+C every day in July so far, getting up to 30 in Vancouver on Monday (39 in Princeton). Bet your grandpa loved having the chance to point out all the things he knows. What type of bus driver was he? A city driver? Or more like regional/cross country? Lighthouse Park is a place a bunch of my followers always want me to go check out, since its a notable filming locations for 1 of the TV shows that filmed here, but since I dont drive I never get there. Now I can direct them to yours (although you didnt get the exact spot they want to see.....but at least they'll get some of the idea of it). Solid job.

Those are some unbelievable landscapes! The temperate rainforest is gorgeous, I really need to revisit that part of the world. Thanks for sharing your awesome journey!

Gotta love the educational vlog, did not know about the concrete guards and hanging signs :D

You get your skills honestly. Your grandfather is a smart man.

Big shoutout to Your grandpa. What a man! Nice you being bonding, family is important. Impressive scenery, naawed at the squirrel that munched nuts, so nice. Great vlog, just a liiiiitle bit envy. You go man!

Yes, the wild berries freaked me out. Glad you're alive! 🙏😂

They're salmonberries. They are quite common in the forests around greater Vancouver. They're not really the tastiest of berries... Not that they taste bad. Just a tad bland with only slight sweetness.

A bus driver hauling his grandson around in an RV is the very definition of a busman's holiday.

Super nostalgic vlog. We used to go over there on holiday from the uk when we were kids in the 90s and do similar roads trips with family friends. Looks exactly the same as I remember it 30 years ago. Cheers for the upload Oscar

Cool vlog! The road marker at 10:45 is actually for US Route 97, which is part of the US highway system, as opposed to a state highway. The state highway signs in Washington feature a silhouette of George Washington's portrait!

The lighthouse walk looked so fun and pretty

You eating random berries off trees is on a par with GeoWizard doing something life-changingly sketchy on a straight line mission.

They kinda look like raspberries or blackberries. They must be related

loveee your vlogs, the conversations between oscar and grandpa are so cute ^^

i usually never watch vlogs but this was such a chill vibe, never knew canada was that gorgeous. great vlog

I've made that drive many times back when I used to go to the Shambhala EDM music festival many years ago... One time I got food poisoning after eating at an A&W restaurant in Osoyoos. We stayed at a hotel in Castlegar, but I couldn't sleep cuz I kept puking up everything, even water. In the middle of the night, we ended up driving 30 mins to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, BC where they put me on an IV drip. There's no hospital in Castlegar.

Early in British Columbia's history they did not have a wine industry but between 1919 and 1933 the US attempted, disastrously, to ban alcoholic beverages and farmers in the Okanagan Valley found they could sell wine to certain Americans who bought in bulk. W.A.C. Bennett, one of the early entrepreneurs, ended up being the premier of the province.

Grandpa saw the split rock and is like "It's Split Rock Lake" 🤣 Seems like a great man, with smart observations. You are so lucky to spend time with him.

I love the music and the landscape. Come visit Bhutan! - a message from the president of Bhutan

My home province! I drive the Crowsnest (from Hope to Princeton) a few times a year. Its beauty still amazes me.

Why did this comment make me laugh so hard? lol.

Thanks for the blog! Grandpa was pretty cool and good footage of the scenery 😀

love the way you catch up with those bollards and roadlines, basically how geoguessr players enjoy the world lol

Hanging signs are to get the post further away from the snow plows, and let them sway in the wind, like Grandpa said.

this is really wholesome. i'm glad that you're able to experience memories like these with your grandparents, and it's cool that you can get some geoguessr knowledge alongside it too!

Grandpa would make a cracked geoguessr player

I just drove from Gold Bridge (town of 34 people) BC to Kamloops and back yesterday. From the coast mountains to the desert, I was actually wondering how hard that part of Canada would be to find on Geogesser without any meta. My in-laws live right next to Lighthouse Park- it's lovely. And yes salmonberries.

Beautiful footage, amazing all around. bummer you had to surrender your produce 💔

Did not think you were going to make a vlog here! Love it. Post more of these little roadtrips, very entertaining :D

did not expect a vlog?? love your videos!!!

10:15 AURA VILLE?!?!? HOOOOLYYYYYY 🤯🤯🤯🤯 W W W W W W 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

Excited for this!

This is so wild! I recently had to go to central Washington for a work trip and one of the places I had to go was Oroville. I had no clue what it was like before I went there, but the natural beauty of that area was pretty astounding. Glad you got to see it!

Really cool to see the blend of knowledge!

Zigzag! You basically drove right by me :0 Those illuminated arrows on the sharp turns always made me feel like it was a videogame, haha.

Great video. I used to live in Vancouver, but never had any reason (or time) to go into the Interior, so it was nice to see what it’s like out there! I’m glad you enjoyed your time here in Canada.

nothing like a vlog that is genuinely inspiring. Makes me want to go out and see the world myself. keep up the good work

Always love a zigzag vlog !

Great video! So nice to see Osoyoos, the town where my Grandma lives

the hell oscar you were in my neighborhood and you didnt reach out. i'm gonna remember this, big guy

Wholesome fun video you love to see it. Welcome to the channel Grandpa!

Amazing vlog! please do more they are so great to watch ❤❤

The Canadian west is magnificent I have always wanted to visit it

was not expecting to see my condo building (in the distance) in a zi8gzag video :D

Thanks for sharing with us, that was fun

Just clicked on but yoooo I've been through hope so many times and gone camping around there countless times. One of my favourite little towns, super cool to see you there and in my home province! Best place in the world!

Omg it’s so cool to see you in Canada!! Even though I’m on the complete opposite side of the country haha. If you ever get the chance, you should come to Montréal! 😁

So neat to see Uncle Zag in my IRL repeat landscapes. Hope you enjoyed your trip to the Okanagan Valley mate!

Awesome! Congrats!

So cool glad you could visit the PNW and my home area! Really cool you pointed out Mount Baker I think I definitely take it for granted that I live in a state with 5 volcanoes. So cool you could go on the Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3), last year I got to go on it to Manning Pass was really cool. That was US highway 97 which goes all the way from the border to Weed, California. Next time you come, I would recommend coming either in July-August or late September or early October. That's usually when there is no rain and temps are usually around 80. Great time to go to Olympic National Park, Mount Rainier NP, Mount Saint Helens, and Artist Point (Mount Baker) in Washington. Also would really recommend the North Cascades Highway especially in early October with the larches at its peak. There are a few trails like Maple Pass Loop and Blue Lake that I would really recommend.

Wholesome stuff mate 😊

The vlog was so chill, watched it before going to bed a definitely relaxing to watch. Please make more

Lighthouse Park is really nice. I went there years ago with my young kids... We hiked quite a ways around the park, so by the end they were so tired and cranky... It didn't help that we got a tad lost and didn't know the fastest trail back to the parking lot. But, I figured it out eventually.

love the adventure videos from you

welcome to Canada my friend

Love this❤️‍🔥

It never gets old watching youtubers tell vlog-viewers goodbye when they go to bed, and hello the next day. Despite it being 1 second for us I mean :D Hope you had a nice trip man, the Canada/US border area has such a serene look to it. Like its old. Hopefully I can get overseas another time myself.

Definitely a beautiful vlog. 😁

Okay I like your confidence!!!🔥

I live just south of Mt Baker. The North Cascades are one of the most beautiful places on earth. Enjoy it!

having watched a lot of MBMM's video mining and exploring the mt baker area, and dan hurd's panning on the frasier, it's always nice to see an exploration of the region!

What a beautiful area!

Highly enjoyed the vlog, amazingly done Oscar ✔️

wonderful content, love it

Omg I’m in Kamloops! So cool to see you visit BC! Have fun

Incredible landscapes, Canada has so many beautiful places!

Great video!

I had a similar trip as you 8 or so years back. Went from NY to Yellowstone to around the Olympic peninsula. The rainforests of Washington were my favorite part

I would love to road trip BC with my Grandpa. Great vlog.

Thanks for coming to my homeland! I would love it if you made it to Toronto and met me! 😅

Your grandpa is so charismatic :D Great vlog

Love this and love that you have some Canada in ya, lemme know if you ever wanna tour on the east side! ❤

I miss that Mount Baker View a little. Used to be able to see Mount Baker on a clear day from the patio of our downtown apartment. Not quite the same views in Saskatchewan now, but I definitely don't miss the cost of living in Vancouver

crazy being from BC and seeing a British youtuber driving the highways I drive. hope you enjoyed the province :)

I love videos like this

Great vlog! Crazy to see how my own country looks on the other side of it, I have never been to BC myself, living in Quebec and went to some of Ontario. I never think about visiting my own country even though it's so massive. I think I might have to visit BC one day

Would love to see more vlogs!
