Landing a Helicopter In a Newfoundland Fishing Village With No Roads | COLD ISLAND Chapter Three
In chapter three, we finally make it to the island of Newfoundland and visit François, a fishing village with no roads. After a gruelling four days of travel, we decided to change the pace and have some fun jigging squid.
We took a MASSIVE cross country helicopter trip in August where we flew our helicopter, the Millennial Falcon, back to our Canadian home province Newfoundland and Labrador. We will be releasing episodes of Cold Island, A Helicopter Travel Series every Sunday and Wednesday until Nov 13th! This is our largest video project (and helicopter trip) to date. Hope you enjoy it!

Marina Pierotti thank you!! It was, I wish we could have stayed a few days longer. It was so lovely!
This was chilli AF. Looks like a very wholesome place
I totally thought this video was only 2 minutes long - I looked down and it was over 10..I was so engrossed that I didn’t realize 10 minutes had already passed. Talk about being captivated!!

I felt the same way until it was over then I NEEDED more instantly lol
A year ago, a friend of mine gave up everything here, bought a house in Francois and has been living there since. It takes a lot of guts to move from a big city to a town which has fewer residents than my own block. She loves it and your film makes it feel as magical as she describes it. Looking forward to the next film!

She’s out in a dory every morning(literally) catching her lunch! She’s living the life!
Seriously, that village. So quaint and cute. This series is so good.
I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Ida Courtney’s house , and also was on her husband’s boat , the Courtney Pride . We were treating a lighthouse down on an island , and were treated to absolute hospitality by them and their family . One of the nicest places I’ve ever been .

The series is so well done. You’ve eclipsed “Departures” in every aspect...storytelling, cinematography and the editing is SO ON POINT! Great job you two.

Agree with the "Likers!" Austin sent me! Safe travels!
Newfoundland is an out of the world place. The roads, the people, the nature. I sure hope you guys flew by Gros Morne.
That town nestled in the beautiful mountains is like opening an unexpected present when you see it first time.. WOW 🤩 just WOW! 😍
This was no vlog, this is a LEGIT Film, movie, on its own. I was so much in it, felt it. Extremely well made. I love every minute of this entire journey and you guys are great storyteller and in this episode, I feel it is the best so far. Visually and narration...
i love this series. the cinematography is honestly mesmerizing
The one dislike on this video....raging squid advocate? 🤔

Haters gonna hate... oh well. It doesn't really matter when 1.2k of us are loving these!
That opening shot was by far best I have seen. Better than Sam Kolder. Plus seeing Becki getting emotional shows this means so much to her and Chris. This is by far best compare to any TV or online series. Just simple, raw emotions and genuine. Love it guys. ❤️❤️
Small towns have their own charm that I just love. Life is so much different. Slower and perhaps more intentional and in the moment. I love it. So different from this SoCal life 😅

This is Tech Today it totally does! Love it so much, just a totally different vibe!
Such a brilliant episode. Felt the hospitality and warmth of the locals at François. Then got all excited when I saw "the next chapter" with you guys flying over a pod of whales. Wow!!!!
This series is great. Every time the video comes to an end, I want more.
0:33 - 1:40 I wanna cry seeing these places. 1:33 and imagine going there, seeing that "tunnel" view towards the far sight, during dusk and dawn. crying in pieces.
my mother was a Durnford from Francois. (back in the 1950s) I was there twice (1994 and 2013) what a magical place. Thank you for your video.
François looks so beautiful and cozy! And that opening sequence, that was pure eye candy 😍
I’d never believed that such a place existed until your video... Canada is so beautiful!
becki lovely to hear you getting reconnected and really being able to value your time properly
I've been to most nooks and crannies of Newfoundland, I've spent my whole life here and I'll be damned if I didn't swell right up with pride watching this! This series is so beautifully done, can't wait to see the rest!
The video editing and music is absolutely perfect! Not to loud or quiet. Photography had been amazing! Gotta love Canada!
The level of excitement keeps on growing with every new episode. Thanks for showing the beautiful town of François to us. Wished the episode was a bit longer but nevertheless, everything is great.
Everyone remembers their first fresh fried calamari 😂 1st grade baby squid dissection and bbq after-party lol. LOVE THE COLD ISLAND SERIES can't wait for the next one!
Waow! François is so beautiful! Thank you for inviting us along this amazing trip!
gosh!! I got super emotional from today's episode, from the intro, stories, how beautiful the mother nature is, the music choice, and the connection of family, too hard to explain but well done !!
The mix of video, places, and personalities makes your channel among my most favorite. Nothing but thanks.
Oh my God! The colors, the story, I am blown away! Wow!
You guys are the masters of new adventures. This is what I long to become in the KZread universe. Never afraid of a new challenge. As mentors you understand that the real value is in modeling for others. I can’t wait to see what else your classroom will bring us !

So cool. Thanks because this is the best series on KZread right now!!!
Kudos to Mr. James! His family is cool!
You're so underrated guys, you deserve more 🤦🏾♂️ I'm new subscriber aand I loved every single second of this series ❤❤❤
What a place! What a trip. Love that James was wearing the Millennium Falcon shirt. Nice nod to ol' 300 Whisky Zulu or coincidence?!
This is so beautiful. The colors, the story, the people, the adventure.. Also, I think that everyone should experience a strong connection with nature when growing up as a kid. Love the way that Becki pointed this out at the end. I was lucky enough to experience this myself and it learned me to value the beauty of life so much more. Keep up the great work please!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! What an amazing project. You should be very proud. I'm so enjoying the scenery, the people you met and the music!!! Keep em coming.
This series is the epitome of stop and smell the roses, and I adore it!
This place is beautiful! The views, the water, the village/town, just everything is so beautiful! Can’t wait for the next episode!
Probably one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Absolutely loving the series
Another Durnford here! (As most there are) So much love for this beautiful place! I love being there so much! So much of my family and home are there! ❤️
Thanks for taking us to a beautiful unique town that most of us will never get an opportunity to visit. Loved it!
You guys kill it. So freaking inspirational. Can't wait until number 4. This is so cool.
I love all the little picturesque fishing villages like François in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI! Spent a few family vacations there. Beautiful scenery and the people there were even more beautiful. I have tons of slides from those trips mostly on Ektachrome and Fujichrome 400. I am going to have to dig them out and scan them. What a wonderful video!
Got my coffee and popcorn ready. Time to sit back and enjoy!
How friggin‘ beautiful is Newfoundland, please?! Thanks so much for that series!
Doing that all in a helicopter vs. a plane must’ve been so cool! So many more places you can go, not needing 2000’ of runway.
You guys, I am loving this series. Your both are great story tellers. What an awesome way to show the world what you guys love and the love of the place we call home #Newfoundland ❤️
What an incredible place. Thank you for taking us along on this adventure with you.
I hope you guys know how inspiring this series is, I absolutely love it. Newfoundland is now on my bucket list🙌❤
Thank you for taking us along for the adventure, such beautiful scenery!
What a beautiful village. The landscape was spectacular! Thanks guys.
Greatness again! This docuseries feels like it should be on HBO or Netflix or something, so well produced. Can't wait for next week!
Great series Becki and Chris, really loving it. Can't wait for the next episode, from a dull, very windy and very wet UK!
The combination of the song and the images in the intro is mesmerizing!
Great series! I was just watching another KZread channel called Sailing Uma and they had sailed to François and were talking about how the town is only accessible by boat and helicopter. Cut to a clip of a black R44 landing on the pad, I noticed the tail number and said hey thats Becki and Chris! Sailing Uma [Step 189] at the 11:13 mark!
It is soooooo majestic! Wow! I am breath taking by all this beautiful land!!!! ♡ Thank you so much for sharing!
I love this series. You guys capture it in a way i don't think anyone else could.
Now it's story time! You two made the jump. This is wonderful!
Oh boi. I got so into this storytelling that I even forgot to comment on the first two videos of the series. This is just incredible to see. The world, the journey. Great:)
That's the most amazing little town. Exactly the type of place I'd want to retire. Great video, can't wait for the next one!
Charlie: we are going squid jiggin, lol I love this series
The opening shot was gold!
Absolute magic you guys! I feel like I"m there with you. You are doing such a great job of capturing the people and places that you visited. Can't wait for the next installment!
Fantastic storytelling. Thank you for sharing your cold island home with the wider world. And bless those boys' hearts, it's great to see young men out doing things instead of just working on carpel tunnel syndrome from video games. ;-)
FAVOURITE episode yet! Love the vibe of this video. Went by too quickly. Definitely adding Francios to my bucket list destination
Well, I fell down the rabbit hole and can't stop watching! This is an incredible series. Love the FPV shots, the story telling, and obviously the scenery. I can't believe you don't have millions of subscribers yet! This is just too awesome.
Absolutely love this Beki and Chris. I can not wait until next week to watch the next chapter.
Such a magical little town.
What a cool fishing town! And the different pace in this episode was a nice change in contrast to the whole thing! A little less anxiety in this one haha

So much fun discovering that part of the world through you guys. Canada seriously need to hire you for real!
That lovely intro!!! Oh my gosh. Great work!! Some awesome drone flying too, Chris!!
THIS WAS AMAZING! The opening sequence? DOPE, the story of this episode? awesome and touching.
Every episode seems like some kinda National Geographic documentary...just the shots, editing, color grading, everything is perfect!
10 minutes of pure calm
This is so beautiful. Really moving to see you guys finding your roots. Congrats from Brazil Becki and Chris!!!
Living vicariously through you guys.
Man I am in love with this series. I also would love to now visit Newfoundland.
That Millenium Falcon T-Shirt is on point
Can't stop following this series, it's so good!! Thank you for sharing this adventure with us :)
Absolutely amazingly stunning little village!! Glad you guys got to go visit!
Loving this series so far. Love how it's shot! Nice mixture between cinematic and raw feeling footage 👌
Thank you for making such great content. This series encompasses what makes both of you so special.
Newfoundland is such a unique place! Definitely a life goal to take another trip there before it blows up and becomes the new Iceland haha, seriously blown up that it hasn't become crazy popular yet!
Loving this guys - lovely, personal, fun and kind. Congrats
This was Magical. I've literally never been so captivated by a video in my life, the storytelling, cinematics, bar none and breathtaking. I'm now seriously considering riding from vancouver Island, where I live, to the east coast.. And those FPV shots were so good, really adds a lot to the video and your channel for that matter. Chris, it's time to come back to BC to get shots like that over here, Eh? Keep up the great work you two!
Wow! That place looks beautiful. Majestic series.
Wow. This series is phenomenal. I’ve been purposely waiting to get to my house to watch the episodes, so I can watch them on my living room flatscreen! The cinematography is too beautiful to waste watching on my phone! Also, the drone footage turned out great!
Although I couldn't live there - man I'm speechless. I'm touched deeply by the beauty of this remote world. I wish I could be there and sit on top of the cliffs an just breath the fresh air and do nothing else for a while. This is getting better at every episode. And that scares me. At the end I have to leave switzerland and move to Newfoundland - or let's say towards Newfoundland :-)
I enjoy nearly everything you two do and post, but I've got to say, I don't think I've enjoyed anything else as much as I'm enjoying this adventure you have both been on. Congratulations on a fantastic series. I can't wait until the next episode. A million of these 👏👏👏😊🙏

Just so beautiful absolutely love the series and get why all do as well.Thanks so much for sharing Deb.👌✌
Awesome cinematography, you guys! Also so cool to spot SV Uma of #sailinguma at 07:55! Awesome when YT channels intersect organically without them realizing. Small world indeed!
Bravo bravo!!! This has to be the channel of the year!!! Awesome job guys!!! Already can't wait for the next one!!!!!
I said it before and I'll say it again. I get some mad No Reservations vibes from this. You guys just need to do a series where you pontificate and wax poetic about the lifestyle and history of whatever region you're in and you'll be golden.
On the plus side, this series is so enjoyable. Great little journey. On the negative side, no band should ever have to play Brown Eyed Girl...
