His First Wild Brook Trout! (5-Day Canoe Trip)
#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!

No Roads. No Rescue. 16 Days Alone in Canada's Most Remote Wilderness | Full Documentary
#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!
