#NorthwestTerritories #SoloAdventure #Canoeing No Roads. No Rescue. 575 km Expert Whitewater Alone in the Northwest Territories | Full Documentary In the summer of 2024 I flew by floatplane deep into the Northwest Territories and spent 16 days completely alone paddling 575 km through one of the most remote places on earth. Starting on the Natla River — a demanding whitewater river — I made my way down the Keele and onto the mighty Mackenzie River with no roads, no people, and no rescue possible if something went wrong. This is the full documentary of that journey. The Northwest Territories has a way of making you feel genuinely small — the mountains, the rivers, the silence, the wildlife, the endless boreal forest with no sign of human life for weeks. If you watched the original three-part series, this is the complete story. If this is your first time here, welcome — this is what I do. 🎥 🛶 If you like this film, you may be interested in my documentary covering a 19-day Arctic expedition down the Hood River that I did with my brother Ted. 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiCsc2B2g6c&t=8592s 🎥 🐺 Also, here's a week-long solo trip I did down the Wold River in the Yukon 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o2XPqq2tiA&t=448s #NorthwestTerritories #SoloCanoe #WildernessExpedition #CanadaWilderness #Whitewater #RiverExpedition #SoloAdventure #BushCraft #NWT #NatlaRiver #KeeleRiver #MackenzieRiver #WildernessCanoe #CanoeExpedition #AdventureDocumentary #CanadianWilderness #Boreal #RemoteExpedition #SurvivalSkills #OutdoorAdventure #Floatplane #WildCanada #RiverPaddling #ExpeditionCanoe #JimBairdAdventurer Follow me on social media 📸 : Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbadventurer/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jbadventurer tiktok: https://tiktok.com/@jbadventurer 🛒 Check out my Amazon shop here: https://www.amazon.ca/shop/jimbaird-adventurer?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_0K9WXSPJMJYHKKWCJ9C5 📖 Buy the Complete Written Works of Jim Baird here: https://www.theadventurer.com/product-page/complete-written-works-of-jim-baird-adventurer Chapters: 0:00 What I have Planned for this Journey 1:44 Left All Alone at the Yukon / Mackenzie Divide 6:16 Hooking into a MONSTER Bull Trout! 10:41 Whitewater Amps Up! 🌊 🛶 😬 21:21 Morning of Day 3 - Epic Campsite (Despite the Grizzly Bear Tracks) 41:19 The Crux of the Natla - Running a Class 4 Rapid all Alone 45:16 Cooking up a Rubaboo on the Keele River 46:57 Paddling Beside a Grizzly Bear! 55:51 BIg Rapids & Making Time on the Beautiful Keele River 59:20 Evadence of a Very Old Mountain Dene Campsite 10:04:13 Scary Weather Moves In 1:08:41 Exploring Side Sloughs & Landslides 1:13:28 Old Burns, Heavy Wind & Wild Strawberries at the end of the Keele 1:20:43 The Mighty Mackenzie River - (Heavy Rain) 1:26:45 Stopping in the Indigenous Community of Tulita, NWT 1:28:55 Windbound for 14-Hours at Bear Rock on the Mackenzie River 1:32:23 Going for it!

#outdoors #snowmobiling #jimbirdadventurer Getting Stuck & Flying Backwards Down a Steep Hill - @ToriGoesOutside ran into some issues negotiating this steep hill while on our 500km family snowmobile trip from our front door to our off-grid cabin

Ice fishing not far from my cabin I was jogging a spoon while fishing a minnow on a set line when I hooked up. I played the spool from the set line in my dash and tethered the lint to the handlebar of my Ski-Doo.

#snowmobiling #offgrid #familyadventure We Snowmobiled 500km From our Front Door to our Remote Off-Grid Cabin Taking the family 500km into the bush in winter is no simple commute. This 12-day mission started at our front door, pushing our gear and patience to the limit. After six days of navigating frozen lakes and bush trails, we reached our off-grid cabin for ice fishing and exploring with the kids and the dog. With unpredictable weather and mechanical hurdles, we had to pivot our plans constantly to keep everyone safe.The journey took a serious turn when our son Wesley developed an infection. Even though it wasn't painful, being hundreds of kilometres from a hospital meant we had to scramble to find antibiotics before things got worse. To make the trek manageable, we used Airbnb to find warm cabins along the route to recharge. This video covers the full 500km odyssey—from the medical scares on the trail to the rewarding silence of the frozen wilderness. 🏡 🛶 Plan your own adventure like this with @airbnb here 👉 https://www.airbnb.ca/ #jimbairdadventurer #outdoors #WinterAdventure #SkiDoo #offgridliving #cabinlife #sledding #bushcraft #icefisning #jimbaird #cabinlife #backcountry #snowmobilelife #winterexpedition ⛺️ 🎥 Check out a couple of my other family adventure videos here: 🏔️ 🛶 🗺️ Yukon Trails 👉 https://youtu.be/55lEFs0N6q4?si=DNaWyEGssO3yss-F 🌧️ ⛰️ 🛶 🏕️ Into Alaska 👉 https://youtu.be/c3Bo4eQB1No?si=vw1D-EHr7fA4jojS ☀️ 🏠 🎣 Summer at our Off-Grid Cabin https://youtu.be/jjPo2J39UAg?si=BhV3evRoT16z5EHf 🦌 📸 🎞️ Follow me on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbadventurer/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jbadventurer tiktok: https://tiktok.com/@jbadventurer #ofsc #ontariosnowmobiling #gosnowmobilingontario #thatskidoofeeling #ontariosnowmobiling #wildernessexploration #BIPOCoutdoors #outdoordogs #winteractivities #airbnbstay 📖 Buy the Complete Written Works of Jim Baird here: https://www.theadventurer.com/product-page/complete-written-works-of-jim-baird-adventurer 🛒 Check out my Amazon shop here: https://www.amazon.ca/shop/jimbaird-adventurer?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_0K9WXSPJMJYHKKWCJ9C5 Chapters: 0:00 The Mission - The 500 KM Plan 🌨️ 🏘️ ⇉ 🏡 ❄️ 2:20 The Reality of the Trail 😧 ❄️ 4:33 Our First Trailside Cabin 🏡 🌨️ 8:22 Crossing the French River: The Search for Antibiotics 💊 👨‍⚕️ 14:54 A-Frame Paradise on the French River 🏞️ 🫎 🥩 18:45 Slow Miles & The Pregnancy Reveal 🤰🏽 21:19 Getting Gas & Ordering Pizza: Our Cabin Close to Civilization 🏡 ⛽️ 🍕 24:25 The Big Hill Scare & Beautiful Wilderness Lakes 🌲 31:06 A Fishing Lodge to Ourselves & a Much Needed Day Off 🏡 35:08 Unsafe Ice: Why We Had to Change Everything 😳 🗺️ 40:33 The Final Push - Rushing to Reach Our Cabin Before Dark 🤷‍♂️ 43:27 We Made it to Out Cabin!
