Wild Surf & Turf Over the Fire
Full video 👉 https://youtu.be/Z9jR_svxHIA From my video “Ice Fishing Rare Trout & Winter Camping in the Snow with a Wall Tent & Wood Stove” @SteveUpinHali and I cooked up a delicious wild surf & turf with delicious brook trout we just caught, deer venison tomahawk steaks that Steve harvested and butchered, and Moose round stakes that I harvested. We cooked it all up over the fire and my campsite after a long day of ice fishing. It was delicious!

I build a shelter and make fire with a ferro rod. I use bushcraft skills to make an ice chisel and hand line a lake trout out through a hole in chisel in the ice. I snowshoe through the forest looking for rabbits I can snare and sleep out in temps below -40 🥶 🏔️ 🧊 #bushcraftsurvival #wintersurvival #survival #icefishing #bushcrafttools #survivalkit #survivalshelter #polarvortex

Stranded: 4 Days Solo Winter Survival with NO TENT or Food (Polar Vortex)
#WinterSurvival #SoloSurvival #Bushcraft I simulated a survival situation where I was left stranded solo in a remote part of Northern Ontario’s Temagami wilderness when my snowmobile engine failed during a brutal polar vortex. With temperatures plummeting to -45°C with the windchill, and no tent, food, or water, I had to rely on basic survival gear and my bushcraft skills to endure four days in the freezing Canadian winter. Every decision was critical as I fought to maintain core body temperature and scavenge for resources in a landscape where mistakes can be fatal. To survive the sub-zero nights without shelter, I had to get creative with the limited gear I had left. I’ll show you how I hand-crafted a makeshift ice chisel and a jigging stick on-site to attempt ice fishing and secure a vital source of calories. This video isn't just about an engine breakdown; it’s a raw, solo winter survival challenge that tests the limits of self-reliance and primitive tool-making in one of North America’s most unforgiving environments. Of course, when my trip came to an end, my reliable Ski-Doo Skandic fired up at -36 after sitting in the deep cold for four days and I rode out of the bush with no issues. 🥶 #PolarVortex #Temagami #Snowmobiling #SurvivalSkills #PrimitiveSkills #OffGrid #JimBaird #AloneWinner #NorthernOntario #WildernessSurvival ❄️ 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 📖 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 Chapters: 0:00 How I Got Stranded in the Temagami Region & my History on ALONE 1:10 Building an Emergency Survival Shelter 4:01 Cutting Firewood & making Fire 5:35 The Cold Task of Changing my Base Layers & Going to Sleep 9:27 Waking Up with my Head Covered in Snow 10:24 Making a Bushcraft Ice Chisel to Make Hole in the Ice for Fishing 11:28 Ice Fishing with Survival Kit Line & Lures 15:12 Back at my Shelter - making Fire, Cooking Up Fish Stew 18:19 Snowshoeing Through the Woods & Looking for Rabbit Tracks 23:44 Re-Lighting the Fire Using Coals & Cooking Emergency Rations 26:48 Morning in the Survival Shelter - Waking up to More Snow 32:40 Some Realities of Survival vs. Survival Myths 34:21 Cutting Firewood & Making Cedar Tea 36:09 Hydration is my Biggest Challenge 38:56 Extreme Cold - Enduring a Night of Polar Vortex Temps -37C (Windchill -45C)

Wrong way! This was just one of the runs this fish took in a big ice fishing paddle on 6lb test.

Ice Fishing Rare Trout & Winter Camping in the Snow with a Wall Tent & Wood Stove
#jimbairdadventurer #outdoors #icefishing #wintercamping The Ice Fishing Trout Trifecta: 3 Species, 1 Remote Winter Camping Trip We headed deep into the Haliburton Forest & Wild Life Reserve for a rugged backcountry winter camping expedition. Our goal was the ultimate challenge: the Trout Trifecta. After snowmobiling to remote lakes and setting up my canvas wall tent, the action started on Day-1 when I landed a Haliburton Gold lake trout—a genetically unique glacial relic found only in these waters. Throughout this ice fishing adventure, we battle freezing temperatures and travel cross-country to find Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Brook Trout all in one trip. This is remote Ontario ice fishing and winter survival at its finest. I have my Dog North along on the adventure too! I did this trip with my friend Steve, and he shot a YouTube video on this adventure too.

Full video 👉 https://youtu.be/_o2XPqq2tiA?si=O5g0rPxI0isdmgVc The best type of axe to bring on a canoe trip is the Hudson Bay Axe. It was traded heavily by the Hudson Bay Company through the fur trade era and was the axe-style of choice for the voyageurs.
