Getting my pack down to 75lbs for my early June pack rafting trip from the interior highlands to the northern coast came with a couple new, lighter weight gear choices. This @thermarest ground pad and quilt option was key. When at elevation and early in the season, more clothing needs to come along. When you’re 6’5”, that clothing is heavier and bulkier and more calories need to be carried. Camera and charging equipment that I need to bring to capture the adventure adds a significant amount of weight ontop of that too. In the end, it was just the added time I allotted to plan, source lighter gear and pack for this one that enabled me to go lighter than I ever have for a paddling trip. #iceland #packrafting #ultralightbackpacking #thermarest

A Fine Meal of Brown Trout Deep in the Icelandic Highlands This was a truly delicious meal after a long day that began with carrying a 75lb pack for 15km and then paddling across a windswept lake of the Icelandic Highlands. (Extra points to anyone who knows what book this routine was borrowed heavily from). #packrafting #iceland #troutfishing #solotravel #trekking

I eventually figured it out, only to find strong winds and no fish at the beginning of a large highland lake (the only portion of my journey where I could legally fish). I started thinking I was going to come up empty handed. However, when I started trusting my new packraft by @alpacka_raft (which I'd never paddled before) in the larger waves, I began drift trolling and had some success! The challanges I dealt with in trying to find a license, the long trek into this lake, and the fishlessness earlier on in the paddle made these catches even better. Plus, I caught my first ever Brown Trout! Check out the full film covering my packrafting adventure in Iceland right here on my YouTube channel. #outdoors #iceland #packrafting #browntrout #fishing

This is a solo crossing through Iceland's volcanic highlands: days of trekking on foot followed by a descent by packraft all the way to the Arctic Ocean, learning how to handle the raft as I went, with no support crew and no safety net. The route started with a multi-day trek across the highlands, where I stopped to fish for brown trout in Íshólsvatn, a remote highland lake, before putting the raft in the water for the first time. From there came the real test: the Mjóadalsá, a raging whitewater river tearing through a lava rock canyon on its way to meet the Skjálfandafljót, followed by a long, whitewater-filled paddle down the Skjálfandafljót toward the coast near Húsavík — portaging around Goðafoss and Barnafoss along the way, and running the crux of the whole trip: the canyon just below Barnafoss. Even reaching the shoreline wasn't the finish — I still had to paddle across the open bay to close out the journey. Seven days, one raft, and a route that didn't let up until the very end. ➰➰ Follow me on social media: 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbadventurer/ 🫂 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jbadventurer 🎶 tiktok: https://tiktok.com/@jbadventurer ➰➰ 🎥 Watch some of my previous adventure films here: 🏜️ 🦂 🌵 🌊Surviving Grand Canyon's Deadliest Rapids: https://youtu.be/yIkMW_XL_iQ?si=NzxAPtziJNlYd1DX 🛶 🎣 🏔️ ⛺️ Alone in the YUKON Wilderness: https://youtu.be/_o2XPqq2tiA?si=WuKfPQ3Y35a-lS7A 🌲🐺 🫎 🏕️ 🛶 No Roads, No Rescue 16-Days Alone in Canada's Most Remote Wilderness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkJEqezva9Q&t=66s #Adventure #Wilderness #Whitewater #Highlands #Camping #Outdoors #ArcticOcean #Exploration #trekking #wildcamping #jimbairdadventurer #remoteriver ➰➰ 📖 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 Land of Fire and Ice 🌋 🧊 1:03 Trekking into the Icelandic Highlands 🥾 3:33 First Time Paddling a Packraft - Big Waves & Brown Trout 🎣 7:24 Camped in the Remote Highlands - New Gear! & a Fish Fry 🤤 11:22 Trekking Over A Desolate Mountain 🏔️ 🥾 21:27 Weathered In: Heavy Winds, Fringed Temps & Low Visibility 🌬️😶‍🌫️ 🌧️ 25:50 10kms of Raging Whitewater Through a Lava Rock Canyon 43:18 Iceland's Primordial Forests 🌳 45:02 Whitewater Rapids Through a Lava Field 🌊 49:23 Portaging the Mighty Godafoss Waterfall ⛰️ 51:54 Camped on a Tiny Ledge ⛺️ 55:00 Whitewater Rapids to Start the Day 🌥️ 🌊 58:01 The Crux: Portaging Spectacular Barnafoss & Running its Succeeding Canyon ⛰️ 1:05:00 Paddling Lake into the Evening & Camping on the Coast 🦭(No Sleeping Bag 😳) 1:11:38 Arctic Ocean Paddle - Tough Going in Big Swells on the Trip's Final Stretch 🦭 🐳

✨Featuring a brand-new, never-before-seen expedition to Labrador (starting at 5:04:36), alongside the best of my wildest survival trips Across the past four seasons! #Adventure #Wilderness #bushcraft A Year in the Wild: Expeditions From the Grand Canyon to the Sub-Arctic (Full Documentary) A Year in the Wild: From the Grand Canyon to the Sub-Arctic (Full Documentary) From ice-out in April to deep winter in the frozen north — this might be the most action-packed year I've had in over twenty years of serious adventuring. It started with a backcountry spring canoe trip in Algoma, Ontario, fishing for brook trout with my brother through remote Canadian Shield wilderness. From there I headed to the Grand Canyon to run it solo in my own oar-rigged raft — 277 miles of whitewater through some of the most dramatic scenery on earth. Then came 16 days alone in the Northwest Territories, paddling the remote Natla, Keele and Mackenzie Rivers through true Canadian wilderness with no roads, no people and no safety net. Summer brought five weeks at my remote off-grid cabin in the Yukon with the whole family — fishing, foraging and living off the land. From there I headed solo down the wild and remote Wolf River, one of the most beautiful rivers I've ever paddled. Fall meant moose season — first hunting down a remote Yukon river, then packing into the mountains of Newfoundland for a backcountry moose hunt in some of Canada's most rugged terrain. Winter hit hard. A polar vortex dropped temperatures to -40 and I slept in a bush shelter to prove it could be done. Six days of backcountry winter camping by snowmobile with my brother followed, then a 500km family snowmobile expedition linking our rural home to our remote off-grid cabin. The year wrapped in Labrador on a 700km snowmobile journey through one of Canada's last true frontiers, ice fishing for wild brook trout along the way. That Labrador footage has never been seen before — the full film drops this fall. 🌲 ➰ 🎣 #wilderness #bushcraft #adventure #survival #offgrid #canoeing #riverrafting #grandcanyon #yukon #labrador #northwestterritories #newfoundland #moosehunting #fishing #brooktrout #snowmobile #wintersurvival #icefishing #soloexpedition #canadianwilderness #backcountry #overlanding #hunting #wildcamp #explorecanada 🛶 ➰ ⛺️ 🎥 Check out my previous full year compilation videos here: 🏔️ Spring 2024 to Late Winter 2025: https://youtu.be/u-STO1bv1I8?si=0h4HibbB_LE9hHu4 🏕️ Spring 2023 to Late Winter 2024: https://youtu.be/_s2zEclHeeE?si=fdk7PK5vimgpnabH 🛶 Spring 2022 to Late Winter 2023: https://youtu.be/mrItwK7wcEQ?si=PdQ5AmNkhqh6kg6Y 📸 ➰ 🎞️ 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 0:00 What I did for 365 Days in the Wild & Why 1:45 Backcountry Spring Trout Fishing Trip by Canoe in Ontario's Algoma Country 21:18 Rafting the Grand Canyon 45:48 Alone in the Northwest Territories - Soloing the Natla, Keele & Mackenzie Rivers 1:12:59 Five Weeks at my Water Access, Off-Grid Cabin Cabin with my Family 1:45:52 Alone in the YUKON - Solo Down the Remote Wolf River Fly Fishing for Arctic Grayling 2:21:32 Moose Hunting in the Yukon: Five Days of Moose, Mountains & Northern Light 2:33:06 A Week in the Mountains of Newfoundland on a Helicopter Fly-in Moose Hunt 2:48:37 Fall Adventures - ATVing to my Off-Grid Cabin & Wall Tent Freighter Canoe Deer Hunt 2:49:51 Sleeping in a Survival Snow Cave with my 4-Year-Old Son 2:58:27 Catching 3 Different Species of Trout & Winter Camping in the Haliburton Forest 3:15:00 Stranded: 4 Days Solo Winter Survival with No Tent or Food (Polar Vortex) 3:43:13 6 Days Winter Camping & Ice Fishing by Snowmobile in Northern Ontario 4:17:54 The Whole Family Ski-Dooed 500km From our House to our Remote Off-Grid Cabin 5:02:00 700km Winter Ice Fishing & Snowmobiling Adventure in the Labrador Wilderness
