This isn't just a video about the worlds largest tree. Sure that is a very interesting place and an amazing tree to visit, but so much fun stuff happens in between. My journey begins in Union Bay, right on the ocean, where i get to wake up right on the beach. Such a beautiful way to start my day. A walk to the pier brought me several unexpected surprises, the first of which being an absolute abundance of oysters all along the rocky shore. I like to believe that every beach was plentiful like this before the intervention of humans. Ive been known to enjoy my share of oysters when I can find them, but I have never seen a beach with sooooo many. Moving on from the beach, I did get to do a little fly fishing in the ocean for some cutthroat trout, but unfortunately was unsuccessful. After that, I tried to make up for my lack of fishing skills with a little crabbing, but again did not catch a thing. Lucky for me, I did have dinner plans already that night, so I didnt have to go hungry lol. The following day was my visit to Lonely Doug, the worlds largest fir tree. This was actually a truly powerful experience and I felt very lucky to see this beautiful tree. More than 1000 years, this tree has been alive and he looks healthy as ever. After my visit with Lonely Doug, I headed to Port Renfrew, where I would be spending the night. Finally after all of my failed attempts, I had a very successful night of crabbing, limiting out with four nice keepers. Crabbing can be a little bit boring from time to time, so I fired up my bike and took it for a whip down the beach. I didnt know how well that was going to work, but let me tell you it was an absolute blast.
I truly hope you all enjoyed this video, and I hope you consider supporting the channel on Patreon: / destinationadventure

8:13 I mean, WOW. I've never seen Lonely Doug in person but I've heard a lot about him and this shot really puts the magnificent tree into perspective. For years we have been dealing with recovering our forests in BC for reasons like the pine beetle, forest fries, overlogging/clearcutting...but our old growth forests are something to protect and be in awe of and Lonely Doug is a global example of what BC can GROW.

A tip from an Island resident....the water and sand of the beaches is salty. Any equipment you run on or in it requires special care or it will rust. Not may rust, will. I'd hose the wheels of your bike down real well and then wipe everything down with a Fluid Film soaked cloth. Everything. Nice to see you exploring and finding stuff from my neck of the woods.

Would not be talking about the crabbing if there was no crabs left... scientists say if we keep fishing the way are there will be nothing left by 2048. Think about the future for our children... not just your sensory pleasure in the present moment.

I used to work in some pretty remote locations and I was finding golf balls pretty regular. There were no houses or golf courses for miles and miles from where I was at and I'd about come to the conclusion someone was dropping them from airplanes when I saw a telephone line crew ... one fella was up on the pole working ... and his buddy was hitting golf balls out into the surrounding fields.

This area hasn't been logged since 2012 due to one man's flagging of "Lonely Doug" in 2011 (thewalrus.ca/big-lonely-doug/) BC has been largely clear-cut for decades and we are only recently protecting our forests. Yes, this means a major loss in terms of international lumber trade which has huge financial benefits for the industry but it also means we can hopefully protect areas to regrow the forest to provide future *sustainable* logging.

@prodigy750 3 года назад
Just imagine the days before Doug was lonely, he used to be surrounded by trees the same size and bigger, thank god we have Doug left, at least , it’s a real crime against humanity to have cut down all the primeval old growth forests, it really must have been like walking through a whole other world in a forest full of trees like that...

@Jarod1941 3 года назад
Lonely Doug is the biggest fir tree in the world? I thought it was the nearby The Red Creek Fir or, as some sites say, the The Doerner Fir in Coos Bay Oregon. If you make it up to the Squamish area, check out the Elaho Giant. It's the world's 3rd largest and has huge political history behind it. It's a gorgeous area to visit too (Elaho and Glendenning Valleys)
@Destination_Adventure
@Destination_Adventure 3 года назад
I think you might be right unfortunately (on my part). It seems there are several articles claiming each to be the largest, and I missed the ones on the red creek fir, before filming this. Personally I don’t know because I only got the chance to see the one.
@jlt131
@jlt131 2 года назад
@@Destination_Adventure yep, red creek fir is the largest...and it's not very far away from Doug! The red creek fir has signage at it claiming it is largest in Canada (I'm not sure about the "world" claim). But due to its age and condition, it's not in as good of shape as Doug, and a bit harder to reach for the general public. The red creek fir is broken off at the top but still 4m taller than Doug, and a half meter or so wider. I've been to both several times. Big lonely Doug seems more impressive when you are there since he's out in the middle of a clearcut and easier to see the full tree at once. I was amazed how much bigger it seemed after walking up to the base! From the road it looks like a big tree but standing next to it you really get the feel of just how gigantic!

@gravytrainoutdoors 3 года назад
If you ever get the chance, the Red Creek Fir tree is very impressive. You could certainly make it a fair ways in your motorhome before needing to jump on the bike. If you could find a good used Yamaha TW200 or Honda CT90-110 they are great little bikes to throw on the back of the motorhome and would allow you to venture further.

It was a program that I seen ( it was from the states) The money was in just the claw for high end rest. so instead they would take the one claw instead of both killing the crab (they only want the claw not the meat) to keep the industry alive so they didn't delete the population. Sad I know, there not killing them for one thing, like killing a bear for it's golbladder and leaving the rest.
