Expedition Northeast Update March 2024
After 230km in 22 days through Labrador’s interior (from Schefferville) I dragged the ol’ sled out to the Trans Labrador Wilderness Highway Friday, just west of Churchill Falls. What a treat to see my supportive and legend of a wife Heather for the first time in 4 months! That completes Part 2 of Expedition Northeast’s winter leg. One highlight of the last few weeks was seeing 4 large black wolves together crossing Dyke Lake. What a majestic thrill! Very few will experience it in their life and I am grateful I did. It’s now been 250 days since I left Hudson Bay near Puvirnituq, Quebec(Nunavik) in canoe July 6th last year. In total I have covered 1567km -1130 by canoe with Saku and 437 alone by snowshoe. All of it across one of the planets last great wilderness areas. And there’s plenty more to go. I will resume the journey…
Expedition Northeast: Day 13

Expedition Northeast 2023-2024
Nearly 5 years in the making – I’m excited to share my next project: Expedition Northeast – a continuous crossing of northeast Canada never before attempted in modern history. 1 Year / 4 seasons, roughly 3800km. Departing from Hudson Bay this July. Canoeing, snowshoeing, backpacking, rafting. Upriver, downriver, across lakes, ponds, ocean, hills, valleys, bogs, barrens, and mountains. I will be posting GPS updates en route. Saku will join me for the warmer seasons. During the sub-arctic winter, I’ll likely be solo. Biggest objective is to complete the route in 12 months by my own power while experiencing and documenting all 4 northern seasons. I want to live simply and in harmony with nature. This has been a dream of mine ever since I struck ice in northern Quebec in 2018. I told myself the next time freeze-up comes, I’ll be ready to continue on throughout winter. It is not…
Video: The Abandoned Canoe (10-day/200km Expedition)
The Abandoned Canoe Documentary is now live on YouTube! Watch it here: https://youtu.be/ys-xDACRGlE A 3 hour film that follows me and Saku on 10-day, 200km expedition. The goal is to hopefully retrieve the canoe I abandoned in Northern Quebec’s wilderness in 2018 at freeze-up. At the time I was attempting a 1700km expedition from the Labrador Sea to Hudson Bay for the Royal Canadian Geographical Society when winter struck a bit early. There is a chance that Bears or the harsh northern elements got the best of it…did it survive? Come along to find out. (Warning: Comments may contain SPOILERS) Part of this journey includes the 4000km road trip to get there. 1100km of it on wilderness roads in Northern Quebec. It’s an adventure of the rarest kind far from civilization! Hope you enjoy the show! Pls share and leave a comment below if it tickles your fancy. Every bit…
Retrieving my Stashed Canoe from Northern Quebec – Coming To YouTube this Friday, Nov 25th!
The time has come folks! This is a bear bite into the paddle I used crossing Labrador and Northern Quebec in 2018. I discovered it when I went to retrieve my stashed canoe this past summer. Both were abandoned when we got flown out after striking ice on that glorious expedition. Tune into my YouTube channel this Friday to see if the canoe survived 4 long years in the desolate Canadian north. I’ve carefully produced a 3-hour documentary. At first, I was going to deliver it in 3-4 episodes but as it came into its own I felt it was meant to flow as one big movie. It follows me and Saku on a 10-day, 200km paddling trip across Quebec’s largest body of water – Caniapscau Reservoir to track down my Esquif canoe. Plus I highlight some of the 4000 km drive to get there which included 1100km on remote…
Expedition Update Sept 2022
Early September 2022 – The night I reached my abandoned canoe after paddling, portaging and lining 100km in 5 days far away in the Northern Quebec wilderness. It had been stashed for 4 years in that harsh environment. Over 200km as the crow flies from the nearest community of Schefferville. Before this Northern Lights show, due to cloud-covered skies, I hadn’t seen a star for a week. Nature has a strange way of making magic at the most interesting times. As always I took it as a sign that I was in the exact spot I needed to be in life. Though I have witnessed Aurora Borealis dance before, it’s still the most beautiful, captivating, and empowering sight I have ever seen. If you look closely, you can see a contented Saku by the glowing blaze. All said and done together we drove 8000km and canoed 200km in 24 days.…
Video: Unedited Extended Footage from Across Labrador circa 2018 – Travelling the Red Wine River

Welcome to the Site!
Welcome, My name is Justin and my passion is wilderness living and expeditions. The challenges and joys experienced outdoors fill my soul and make me feel alive. I do it to see if I can but also to share the passion and learning experiences had along the way. I want to create healthy conversation about wild spaces and get more people moving within them. I use film, photography, writing and keynote to showcase my adventures. On my travels, I prefer self-propelled movement. I like to hike, paddle, ski, snowshoe, climb, claw and anything else that moves me by my own power. I fish, forage and hunt when possible for subsistence. I go on long demanding expeditions and also shorter tours. I have two dogs, Saku and Bear, who love it as much as I do and join in on the fun. My life mission is…
Podcast Guest Appearance: Fishing For Mental Health Podcast
Here’s an important conversation I just had on the Fishing For Mental Health Podcast! It was with Miramichi, New Brunswick host and mental health expert John Fletcher.

(Season 2) Episode #2 Through the Woods with Justin Barbour
Live on YouTube now—>Episode #2 of 60 Days Through the Woods with yours truly and the by’s Saky and Bear. Watch here: https://youtu.be/8XZ6AV8XkZ4 The adventure continues atop Middle Ridge, Newfoundland. Cold-stormy weather, beautiful wilderness and a scary incident are encountered. Being it Earth day it is fitting to sit back and immerse in quality Newfoundland outdoors after your own evening excursions. Like we depend on nature for our survival, it also depends on us for its own health and longevity. Getting out in it often makes one realize this more clearly and emotionally. Then one will be more likely to appreciate, utilize, and respect it. Every little bit counts whether you believe it or not. The easiest thing anyone can do is brush it off with the attitude that a bit of effort won’t affect the grand scheme of things down the road for the better when we are long…

43 days rambling alone through the sub-arctic Labrador winter…
43 days rambling alone through the sub-arctic Labrador winter… That is the ride me and Bear have just experienced! We are not long removed and have cleaned up and recharged the batteries. Now I am hungry for more! I’ll post plenty from the trip as time passes: of the fine invigorating adventure; vast-lonely beauty; pure northern air; big mesmerizing skies; and fresh meals from the land. And how can I forget the peaceful and cozy evenings in the tent? When the stove hummed, the warm light of the candle flickered, and outside our friend, Aurora Borealis, waltzed across the starry frozen heavens uninterrupted by not a civilized light. What a joy it all was!! The picture above is of us on Ossokmanuan Lake (90km long) in the interior wilds one squally day when the bitter wind burned the face like fire and tried to slither its way under my clothing…
Season 2: Though the Woods with Justin Barbour
New 6 Episode Series coming very soon to Bell’s Fibe TV1 – Channel 1 and the Fibe TV app! As is usually the case, I needed more time than expected. But it was worth it. This will be a quality winter expedition viewing experience like no other.I made the finishing touches in mid-January so it should air in about 2 weeks once Bell prepares it for broadcast(this is just technical stuff).They give me full control over editing style, narrations, music choices, etc. So it will be the same documentary type shows you and I love. Episodes will average 35-40 minutes with the finale being 1 hour. The first 3 episodes will follow myself, Saku and Bear for a month though the Newfoundland woods(2020). The last 3 will follow Bear and I for a month in the wilds of Labrador(2021). Yeehaw. Like the last series, this one will eventually make YouTube.…
Great Northern Peninsula: One Month on Foot (Preview)
Great Northern Peninsula – some clips from our recent expedition. Documentary coming to the YouTube channel in 2022: https://www.youtube.com/c/JustinBarbournlexplorer More info: Summer of 2021 I explored Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula with Saku. A one-month unsupported backpacking adventure. It’s a vast, untamed area of mountainous wilderness that we travelled 215km through. We were surrounded by plentiful wildlife (Moose, Caribou, Black Bear, Geese, Ducks, Ptarmigan, Grouse, Fish etc.) and striking rugged mysterious peaceful landscapes but not a single human did we see or hear. It was another challenging adventure for the books. #lifeisbetteroutdoors Safe adventures, Justin

The Woods Workout Before and After
WARNING: Photo may disturb some viewers…Always a good laugh to look in the mirror after a long trip. I’ve had longer hauls and more drastic physical changes, but this is what 4 hard weeks in wilderness can do to a person. 189lbs-176.5lbs. Elliott Merrick summed it up best in his book ‘True North’ after months living with trappers: “Who can describe the feelings of such a moment, the sensation of leanness, a flat stomach and a body that one is glad to own, stripped to the essentials, filled, despite fatigue, with latent strength that is rising through legs and torso and arms like a pleasant vapor.” This is not malnourishment or illness. This is richness and health. #lifeisbetteroutdoors
Post Expedition Update: 4 Week Great Northern Peninsula Backpacking
Up on the high country – Soufletts River, NL. “After 4 weeks on foot and unsupported, we will emerge from the Great Northern Peninsula interior. It has a reputation for being the most rugged wilderness on the island and lived up to its name. I say this from experience. We have worked with it day after day, in all its summer moods. A Post-Tropical storm, drenching rains, driving winds, scorching sun, cool sub-arctic evenings, ripping thunder & flashing lightning. I paint it real. As time constraints and various difficulties bear down, we have to reach the faraway coast, where the only civilization dwells. I modify the original route and head due west over tall rocky ridges, down through jungles of sharp tuckamore, across squishy saturated marshes and along a pleasant grassy meadow that sways beside a trickling mountain creek. Prime moose habitat. We’ve seen many and constantly search out their…
Season 2 Barbour, Bear & Saku Coming Late 2021
Season 2 of Barbour (now Bear) & Saku is coming to Canada’s Bell Fibe TV1 – Channel 1 and the Fibe TV app later this year – and eventually here on YT as before.

This new series will be 6 episodes and cover 2 separate expeditions. 33 days in Newfoundland with Saku & Bear from February 2020 and a month in Labrador with Bear from March 2021. You won’t want to miss these true old school adventures! More updates to come. Take care, Justin #lifeisbetteroutdoors
May 4th, 2021 Update
Hi folks, it’s a pleasure to be in touch again. The last 2 months have been filled with adventure. It kicked off with 30 days in the Labrador bush. Bear & I pulled loaded toboggan’s in prep for big future endeavours I will share in coming months. We explored the faraway Eagle River watershed (pic above) and surrounding string bog dominated plateau. This area has some of the most pristine wilderness found anywhere in the world with hundreds of miles of undisturbed nature. The wide-open frozen bogs which are winter highways were expansive and hauling across many I could not see the other end. In summer and during spring melt they would be dangerously like quicksand and for that reason, we hastily retreated once the thaw came in earnest. Now it is just another magical expedition forever burned into my memory. Temperatures were frequently below -20°C and hit -40°C with…

Docuseries Ep.1 : Through the Newfoundland Wilderness
In the Spring of 2017 I embarked on a 700km snowshoe, Alpacka raft and backpacking expedition across the harsh yet magical Newfoundland interior wilderness. I was solo as a human but far from alone. By my side from start to finish was my loyal Cape Shore Water Dog, Saku. We went through thick and thin together in order to travel across some of the least explored wilderness regions of our province. We encountered frequent wildlife while battling desolate barrens, thick bush, mountain ranges, storms, sub-zero temperatures, raging whitewater, massive lakes, the Atlantic Ocean and monster trout. Often we were days of man-power travel away from civilization. It was a major challenge and an unforgettable blessing. Newfoundland is the island portion of the province “Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada”. It has a population of just over 500,000 people in a very large land area of 108,860 square kilometers. More than 50%…

But after 4 wonderful days of holding camp, we finally got plucked out of the northern Quebec wilderness yesterday. Huge thanks to the individuals who got us back to The Rock safely and to everyone else who made this expedition possible. The list is long and you all know who you are. I’m forever grateful! Other than not reaching Hudson Bay this was a success on all accounts. Witnessing the immaculate scenery, enjoying and overcoming the hurdles, putting eyes on our provinces and Quebec’s vast outdoors, and becoming more proficient as not only a woodsman, but a human. We seen…
Supply List for Crossing Newfoundland Expedition
Here’s a detailed list of the supplies I took with me 700 kilometers across Newfoundland this past spring. Not every item recorded below was with me at all times. For example, I did not pick up my raft and PFD until the Burgeo Highway at Peter Strides Pond. And it was then I also dropped some of my winter gear, but not all. Changing seasons required different tools at different checkpoints, but most of the core kit such as tent, tarps, packs, cooking utensils, navigational, and tech equipment stayed with me from start to finish, through thick and thin. The caches were essentially a replenishment of nutrition, first aid and fuel. Maybe a clothing item, few batteries, pen and after 40 days, a few cold beer when I was in St.Alban’s and Conne River. The best tasting beers I have ever put my lips on. This was the lineup: Navigation/Communications…
GUIDE: Planning a trip through the Avalon Wilderness Reserve
Anyone who follows me closely will know that I have spent many nights in Newfoundland’s Avalon Wilderness Reserve. The 1,070 km2 area of barrens, forests and waterways is protected and gives a fine sample of pristine outdoors only a short drive from our provinces capital city of St. John’s. My Tours in the AWR On my first trip through in 2012 I paddled into Old Sea from Salmonier Line with my MUN (Memorial University of Newfoundland) Physical Education class. That was when I really got the itch to spend more time outdoors. From here I made two other small trips, again from Salmonier Line in 2013 with two separate buddies and then in October 2014 I paddled 40km from Cape Pond to Peak Pond with my cousin. After that it was my 14 day solo trip of 120km in 2015 from Trepassey to Peak Pond. I hiked 65 kilometres from…

Expedition Northeast Update: February 13th,2024
After 38 days and 207km blasted with several major snow storms, extreme temps from a bone stabbing -42C (-51C windchill) to a soft 0 C , an 800foot upriver climb packing at minimum 40km of the route through deep frosty powder (returning for sled each time), breaking through ice, chopping my snowshoe with the axe and nearly losing the tent on a sudden Lac Wakuach wind squall I finally came to the tucked in the northern wilderness community of Schefferville, Quebec last Friday. It’s a friendly, remote place driven by the iron ore mines but also surrounded with 100’s of kms vast fresh nature freedom from all angles. About here is the territory of the Nasakpi and Montagais native people. Here with great bush savvy and wisdom they still practice traditional ways of life and live close to the earth. If you love endless wilds at your fingertips this is…
