My watch of choice is the @suunto Vertical II smartwatch. It's rugged enough to handle whatever my expeditions can throw at me and has all the features and battery life to make it a great asset in remote areas...and in my day to day life too. #ad #Suunto #SuuntoVertical2 #Adventurestartshere #OutdoorAdventure

#Outdoors #jimbairdadventurer #survival My four-year-old son Hudson and I set out on a winter survival challenge in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. We trekked into the bush off of a remote logging road and built a quinzee shelter. Of course, our Husky dog North came along for the adventure too. A quinzee is essentially a snow cave, where you pile up a mound of snow and dig out the centre to create a strong and insulating shelter. We also got a fire going and cooked up some homemade moose sausages and bannock for dinner. We slept in the snow cave with bison and wolf furs to help keep us warm and we had a pretty cozy sleep. It was about -22 degrees Celsius that night. The next morning, we trekked out onto a frozen lake and did a little ice fishing. Over all, I was very impressed with how much my son enjoyed the trip and really pitched in to help out.

#offgridcabin #remotetrail #outdoors #jimbairdadventurer The Old Trapline Trail | A Hard Way Into the Cabin With My Son — Then Deer Camp This video starts with an attempt to reach our remote, off-grid cabin by ATV, taking an old trapline trail I’d never ridden before. I had my four-year-old son with me, and the trail quickly proved rougher and more overgrown than expected. As daylight faded and heavy rain set in, we ended up wandering through the woods, bushwhacking in the dark while it poured rain to just find the cabin. I got my son settled in and then had to cut a trail across the property just to finally reach the cabin with the side-by-side. The next morning brought another challenge—a flat tire—and the need to figure out a new plan in a very remote place. After the cabin adventure, deer hunting season was upon us. I head out with friends to a remote hunting spot, reaching it by canoe, setting up a wall tent, and installing Stealth Cam trail cameras. We captured some great pictures of mature bucks before the hunt even began. This video shares both the rugged adventure of getting into the backcountry and the excitement of preparing for deer hunting, showing the challenges, decisions, and quiet moments that come with life in the wilderness. 👉 Check out Swellfish Inflatable Boat we use in this video here: (If you order from this link, I get a 2% commission) https://swellfish.co/JIMBAIRD Other off-grid adventures: 🚤 👉 Download my e-book "the Complete Written Works of Jim Baird" here: 📖 🛶 🎣 https://www.theadventurer.com/product-page/complete-written-works-of-jim-baird-adventurer 👉 Check out some of my previous videos surrounding our off-grid cabin: - ❄️ Winter at our Cabin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDoKsvVR-PU&list=PLdWkde9gml__5IwR_jRr60U15IOFrPuqi&index=4 - 🌲🪵 Five weeks at out off-grid cabin in the summer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjPo2J39UAg&list=PLdWkde9gml__5IwR_jRr60U15IOFrPuqi&index=2 👉 Here's a previous hunting video I filmed on a fly-in moose hunt in Oct 2025: 🫎 🚁⛰️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSeLsmW-G-Q&list=PLdWkde9gml_-qvLAydqrY-MJip93brLyk 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 Chapters: 0:00 Off-Grid Cabin Miss-Adventure with my Son Overview 0:32 Wall Tent & Freighter Canoe Public Land Deer Hunt Overview 1:00 Getting to the Trailhead to Begin the Trapline Trail Adventure to Cabin 2:53 The ATV Adventure into Our Cabin Begins 7:35 Trying to Find Our Cabin, Bushwhacking in the Dark & Cutting a Trail 10:25 Discovering a Major Problem, Alternate Plans & Closing up Camp 16:36 Making a Move When Conditions are Favourable - Leaving the Cabin 19:43 Mounting a Mission to Retrieve the ATV with my Son 21:59 Getting Back to the Cabin, Replacing the Tire & Dinner 24:35 Winterizing a Yamaha 25-Horse 4-Stroke Outboard & Closing Up 26:17 Behind Schedule & Heading Back out on the Trail in our Side-by-Side 30:02 Reflecting on the ATV Cabin Adventure with my Son 30:55 Rough Forest Access Rd. & Rainy Slog to Set up Stealth Cams 36:49 Deer Camp Set-up: Freighter Canoe Access & Wall Tent 36:18 Big Woods, Public Land Deer Hunting, Heavy Rain 42:58 Installing Amer-step Step-ups to Make a ladder up to my Stand 44:01 Hunting in Wet Snow, Rain & Challenging Conditions 45:11 Moose Steaks & Maple Syrup Butternut Squash Cooked Over the Fire 46:03 Reflecting on my Deer Hunting Trip

Full video 🐺⛰️🛶 ⛺️ 🌲🇨🇦 👉 https://youtu.be/_o2XPqq2tiA What was particularly cool about seeing this wolf was that the experience really went beyond purly seeing it. I heard a wolf call from down wind and I called back, it answered, and I waited for a bit, hoping it would come out of the bush to inspect. I soon moved in, heading into the wind and howling again, thinking another wolf would come in to inspect from up wind where it couldn’t smell me. It was then that I felt something was looking at me, I turned my head to look back over my shoulder, thinking the wolf from down wind might have come out, I saw a grey wolf staring at me in my mind and strained to look ahead but didn’t make anything out. I couldn’t shake the feeling and about a munite later, I looked up to see this big grey wolf staring right at me. We looked at each other for 30 seconds before my canoe bumped into the bank, stopping it abruptly and the wolf sat up and walked off. It looked like it was a bit confused with my calls. It had been staring at me for some time before I saw it. What was really cool about this was that I got to not just see a wolf, but I got to interact with them, and be, if for just a few moments in their head space and in their world. This happened during a week long solo trip down the Yukon’s Wolf River this past Sep. #wolf #wildlifesighting #outdooradventure #yukon
