✨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

My son Hudson searching for thugs in the food barrel is so relatable. It can be frustrating to find stuff in there at any age. Check out the full video shot in a five day backcountry canoe trip in Algonquin Park. We went in with the intention of catching Hudson his first Brook Trout! His First Wild Brook Trout! (5-Day Canoe Trip) https://youtu.be/subaUo9KRec

4-Year-Old Catches First Brook Trout on a Father / Son Canoe Trip Me and my Sind Hudson did a 5 day canoe trip in the Algonquin Park backcountry where we were on a mission to catch him his first Brook Trout. After a lot of paddling, portaging and cold weather, we connected!

Every spring, when the ice disappears from the lakes, it's hard to resist heading north in search of brook trout. This time, my brother and I set off on a 7-day backcountry canoe trip through Algonquin Park, paddling deep into the wilderness with everything we needed packed in our canoes. There's something special about sharing time in wild places with family, and this trip reminded me why these adventures mean so much. Along the way we chased wild brook trout, tackled long portages, cooked over the fire, and spent our days surrounded by the quiet beauty of Algonquin's backcountry. Whether the fishing is good or not, it's always about the journey—the places you see, the conversations you have, and the memories you bring home. If you enjoy canoe tripping, backcountry camping, brook trout fishing, wilderness travel, and exploring the Canadian outdoors, I think you'll enjoy coming along on this adventure.

#BrookTrout #CanoeTrip #Backcountry His First Brook Trout | Father & Son 5 Day Algonquin Backcountry Canoe Trip This spring I packed up my four-year-old son Hudson, our dog North, and headed deep into the backcountry on a five-day canoe trip. The route covered nearly 30km with close to 6km of portaging — and the conditions didn't make it easy. Cold temps, wind, waves, and even a snowfall made sure we earned it. But we were on a mission: get Hudson his very first brook trout, all by himself. Along the way we explored a 100-year-old abandoned sawmill and the remnants of an old logging camp, shared plenty of campfires, and fried up a few good fish. On the evening of Day 3 — after a lot of hard work — Hudson finally got his moment. And the fish was a beauty. #FamilyAdventure #BrookTrout #CanoeTrip #Portaging #Backcountry #FlyFishing #SpringFishing #KidsOutdoors #CanoeCamping #WildernessCanada #TroutFishing #OutdoorDad 🏔️ ➰ ⛺️ Follow me on social media: 🎞️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbadventurer/ 📸 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jbadventurer 🕺 tiktok: https://tiktok.com/@jbadventurer 🥾 ➰ 🛶 🎥 Check out some more of my family videos here: 👉 Family in the Wilderness: Six Years of Family Backcountry Adventures https://youtu.be/NnjIb2NZfMY?si=fC9kDl6Wh2ATqaCO 👉 Five Weeks at out Off-Grid Cabin: https://youtu.be/jjPo2J39UAg?si=EqCk9IIYNvwzoRk9 👉 Into Alaska: 10-Days on the Wild Stikine River https://youtu.be/c3Bo4eQB1No?si=k1UsEqay9zCaG7Es 🎣 ➰ 🏕️ 📖 Buy my e-Book 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 Stuff that Happened to us on this Trip! 0:56 Dodging Scary Big Waves Right at the Put-In! 4:27 The Portaging Starts - Will We Make it to Camp Before Dark? 9:44 Getting to Our First Campsite, Setting up Camp & What's for Dinner? 12:07 "Dinosaur Oatmeal is Way too Cool for a Little Boy to Handle" 16:47 Exploring the Remains of a 100-year Old Logging Camp Along the Portage Trail 17:48 Big Battle with a Tank Lake Trout 20:52 Exploring the Remains of an Old Abandoned Building that Feels Very Out of Place 22:36 Getting to Camp & a Delicious Fish Fry Over the Fire 24:37 Tough Fishing in Cold Weather & Lunch at Camp 29:03 All our Work Pays off!
