ADVENTURER – FILMMAKER – AUTHOR – SPEAKER
Professional Adventurer-Explorer Justin Barbour aims to share his expeditions and outdoor life. Specialized in wilderness living and expeditions, he prefers self-propelled movement. Hike, paddle, ski, snowshoe, claw. Whatever moves him by—his own steam.
He fishes, forages & hunts. He loves camping, survival & bushcraft. He does ong, challenging expeditions as well as shorter relaxed tours. His dogs are usually along for the ride. And they carry their own weight.
In 2017, Justin and his dog Saku trekked 700 kilometers across Newfoundland’s wilderness by foot, snowshoe, and pack-raft. Justin and Saku’s 2017 expedition is detailed in Justin’s bestselling memoir titled: Man and Dog: Through the Newfoundland Wilderness as well as Saku’s Great Newfoundland Adventure, a youth-focused outdoor education book told from Saku’s point of view.
In 2018, the duo set off on a new adventure, traveling 1000 kilometers by canoe and foot across Labrador and into Northern Quebec – that docuseries is also on YouTube.
In the summer of 2020, they spent 52 days in Newfoundland’s 2,895km² Bay Du Nord Wilderness Reserve. That expedition is currently airing as a 6 episodes docuseries on YouTube and televised on Canada’s Bell Fibe TV – Channel 1.
Barbour’s new project is an Expedition Northeast – a never before attempted continuous crossing of northeast Canada.1 Year / 4 seasons, roughly 3800km.
He will depart from Hudson Bay on July 2023.
