Deep Winter in Northern Ontario: Hot Tent Camping, Big Trout & a Journey to the James Bay Coast
#jimbairdadventurer #wintercamping #outdoors #icefishing Deep Winter in Northern Ontario: Hot Tent Camping, Big Trout & a Journey to the James Bay Coast In this video, I pack a whole winter’s worth of Northern Ontario adventure into one story. It starts with a snowmobile run up the James Bay coast after catching the Polar Bear Express into Moosonee. The plan was to ride toward Cape Henrietta-Maria, weaving through remote Cree territory, camping along the way, spotting wildlife, and battling some pretty rough weather and ice conditions. From there, things lighten up with a solo winter camp and ice-fishing mission in the Haliburton Forest, where I met up with a buddy during the day and we smashed trout—Rainbow and Brook—and cooked them up over the fire bushcraft-style. After that, I switched gears and headed out with my family to revisit a backcountry lake we’d reached by canoe on our Nat Geo show Home in the Wild. A full blizzard rolled in on us, but we pushed through and made it. I then took my three-year-old son Hudson on a three-night wall-tent trip where I realized—too late—that I’d forgotten the tent poles, so we cut a full set in the dark and made it work. We explored a maze-like lake system, did some fishing, and had a great little adventure together. Finally, the whole family rode into our remote off-grid cabin for our first winter visit. It’s a long snowmobile haul with some tricky ice, and at one point I buried my machine in deep slush and had to get creative to get it out. We wrapped it all up with more exploring, plenty of ice fishing, and some awesome Lake Trout and Burbot catches. It was a wild winter—and this video brings all the best moments together. 👉 Check out more on the Suunto smartwatch I talk about in this video here! ● Promotion Period: Dec 8 - 25, 2025 ● Suunto Christmas Special Offers: "Merry outdoors with Suunto —— Up to 40% off + free $49 strap for selected products."
