Journey's End

Episode 6 of 6

Documentary series. Ray Mears explores the bushcraft, nature and traditions of Canada's once-isolated west coast as he completes his journey across the country.

Ray Mears goes on an epic adventure into Canada's unforgiving yet inspiring wilderness.

Until David Thompson found a route through the Rockies, the west coast was effectively cut off from the rest of Canada. Combined with the unique terrain of the Pacific coast, the result was a different land. The unique cultures, skills and landscape of Canada's far west make it a rich and diverse place - a land of cedar boxes, steam-bent fish hooks and dugout canoes, and a place where totem poles once dominated the landscape and people relied on the sea. Ray Mears explores the area's bushcraft, nature and traditions as he completes his journey across Canada.
