Trekking into the backcountry on snowshoe, I headed out for 4 Days with my family. Heavy wind and bad weather was something we had to deal with on this trip, particularly on the walk out. We hauled a large canvas tent and woodstove, in addition to all the food and survival gear we’d need to be comfortable and safe on our adventure. Our route took us along frozen lakes and through the bush on the connecting portage trails. My wife Tori carried our 18-month-old son Wesley on her back the whole way. After setting up camp, we trekked deeper into the backcountry by snowshoe to explore more of the area.

lol
Thanks a lot for watching! I appreciate all your support. Please like this video and subscribe to my channel. Lots more to come!
Awe cutey pie Wesley enjoying his first winter camping trip, cosy in his sleeping bag napping. Wonderful orange safety orange colour jacket. I wouldn't worry about what others say as I know you don't, but are respectful enough to speak to the minority that worry. I guess they never think about how the Eskimo's, Indianas, and our own relatives from several centuries before us. How our own families travelled in heat and in cold, on foot, boat, ship,train and very hungry with little or no money living off the land protecting their babies as they go.
This is very true. Thanks a lot for watching and taking the tome to comment too. He sure is a little cutie!
When I was a toddler back in the sixties, my dad would put me in an old army rucksack, pull the draw strings up around my neck so I couldn't wriggle free, and off we would go hiking in the mountains of the UK. We had an old converted ambulance and I would sleep on one of the stretchers that was still inside up top. Best days you will ever have, camping with mum and dad. Go Bairds, YEAHHHHHH!!
Tori is an amazing woman and mother! The way she carries Wesley around on her back is really priceless. I would be exhausted. Youre a beautiful family and I love watching your adventures. Raising your son in the outdoors is just wonderful! I cant wait for more!!
Thanks, ya Tori is great with carrying him and it’s not easy. It seems to put him to sleep most of the time.
Don’t worry about the haters. They’re jealous couch potatoes that live in their parents.
Wesley is such a good child, I could never imagine my children or grandchildren being that well behaved at such a young age. Good on ya!
Thanks a lot, ya he’s pretty good for sure
@@JimBairdAdventurer peoole that love to tell us how to raise our own kids ..I couldn't imagine someone telling my mom how to raise us in northern Ontario and in the prairies of Manitoba that would have been a very short conversation .
Mama Baird, Papa Baird and Baby Baird. That was a great video to watch, the team work is and proficiency admirable, Wesley's laughter, just the way his face lights up is really special too. Thanks for sharing, Tori you rock, kudos.
Thanks a lot!
I have some friends in the community with children with a variety of sever to mild special needs the camp to boat even jet ski and have traveled thousands of miles even over seas. Yes it's a little extra work or planning they say but they team work is the dream work. Several have a health care nanny and she backs her bags travels along. Wesley is a beautiful precious soul that radiates brightly with your loving care.
My Johnny used to say people have opinions like noses that liked to be picked and flung. Put a wall of protection around your hearts and please keep being you all. Butter is better with most everything 😋.
Thank you for sharing
You do just fine, those complainers have No experience at all , so go on!
Agreed and thanks a lot.
It a beautiful thing to take your baby, screw everyone who doesn't approve, it your family, not theirs. You two are more than capable adults out in the bush. I've been watching your channel and don't always comment but I had to this time. Tori your a badass bush crafter, be proud.
Thanks a lot for that! Ya, Tori was reflecting in part of a few angry comments we’ve had in the past regarding camping with our son. Definitely though, it’s your thoughts that reflect the majority. Many of us nature outdoor lovers had experiences in the forest as children that played a large role in shaping us for the better.
Wesley is adorable!! Props to Tory doing camp chores with Wesley on her Back. Thanks for sharing your family adventure
I've never winter camped but every summer my mom had all 7 of her kids living in a 12 x 12 foot tent with a screened in porch attached. We got pretty good at packing up and moving from campground to campground. I think all big families tend to know which chores are theirs and just get it done. I think mom liked having a closer eye on us in this way and that we could just simply move to another place if any one of us was exposed to bad influences. Loved this family outing. LOL.
That sounds like a very cool way to spend the summer and it sounds like your mom has her hands full but that you all pitched in and helped. Glad you enjoyed the video!
You guys are totally natural in front of the camera. Canada should give you your own bushcraft reality show. Here's hoping someone reads this ...
Ha, that would be awesome. Thanks a lot.
Sweet boy, Wesley!
Thanks 😊 he is a real cutie
LOL. Tori snowshoeing up a steep hill, pulling 2 sleds while carrying Wesley on her back. She kills me. You are a lucky man Jim :)
She’s a machine!
Wes is such a happy kid. Congrats on finding the right woman that shares the same interests as you.
Great family man! Y’all are making memories that you’ll never forget.
You two are the perfect couple for Bushcraft .. Doing everything together.. Thank you for taking me along... The food looked delish !!!
You’re welcome, thanks for that and for watching!
Thank you for showing all of us that never got the chance or couldn't travel so many great places in Our own Country awesome that you take your son with you and teach him about our great mother Nature her beauty and bounty and wonder . Love your adventures and your sharing them with us Stay safe and God Bless you all 💕
Great note about Wesley. I think it's awesome you take him and you can tell he loves it! Great vid
There is no reason why your baby cannot go winter camping! It’s been going on since the beginning of man! Besides Wesleys parents are professionals at winter camping! Great video!
Agreed, thanks a lot. It’s sad how much some people are removed and expect children to be bubble wrapped
@@JimBairdAdventurer I agree! People would be much better off if they mind their own business! I trapped and hunted and fished Northern and mid Michigan my entire life starting at age 8 until I retired from law enforcement and sold my produce farm got a divorce and moved back to North Carolina where I was born then moved here to northern Arizona where the Elk are abundant and lots of trout in the lakes and streams here! I feel I’ve lived a rich life done a lot of things and loved it all! You Jim Baird are a rich man! Meaning you have a lovely family, I mean geez your wife cooks Elk and mushrooms and onions in butter LOL but not only that you have many skills of the outdoors! You are a true Bushman! Many do not have those skills! Not many of us around anymore! I miss fly in fishing in Canada we did it every summer for walleye! Michigan deer season and ice fishing! I miss it bro! Yes you are a rich man! I never measure success by how much money one has but by their knowledge and adventures! We all learn everyday from what we do whatever it is! I’ve been through 3 useless wars plus the drug war in Colombia! But I never forgot where I came from! Your videos give me great enjoyment! Same for Joe, Doug, Carl, Dave and Brooke, and Shawn! Thank you so much for being human!
Awww...when I saw your son's sleigh my heart took a flip! Great he was out there with you! Some of my fondest parenting achievements and memories come from introducing my kids to the great outdoors! 😉💜🌲🇨🇦
I think it’s great you two have your son out there with you. Being in the bush teaches a kid many valuable life lessons. Next year you won’t be able to keep him in the tent! Keep taking him with you to the bush & someday he’ll be a better woodsman than his dad. Great video! Thanks for taking me along.
I hope so! Thanks a lot and you’re very welcome.
Love all my Marines !!!! Husband, so in law, son, and son's best friend since grade school ! Thank you to all Marines for your service to myself and my country ! God bless the USA ! HOORAH !!!!
You don't know how lucky the two of you are, to have the life you do. Living in a place that will provide resources for you to survive, trees, water, game. And you have each other and the lil one.
The more of your videos I watch, the more amazed I get. Stamina, perseverance, endurance, at the same time your teaching us...your family is absolutely fantastic. I must say, Wonder Woman has nothing on Tori! Carrying Wesley, trekking through the snow with snowshoes, AND pulling sleds...Wow Jim, you are so very lucky to have a spouse like Tori!
Thanks very much, i feel like thst about her every day
Love your videos. I have a whole new appreciation of our country.
Perfect! Thanks a lot
You are an amazing family. Really enjoy every minute. Hope it doesn't make you sad to bring up Buck. Miss him. Thanks! GOD bless you
I love the family camping trips it's so great to see Wesley out there with you guys great video as always awesome cooking.🙂🇨🇦❤👍
Thanks a lot, ya we really whipped up some good eats on this one.
great video, Wesley is a sweet little man, My daughter and her guy take their 8 month old out hiking and camping , it is good for the child I feel. My parents did the same Now because of that i respect nature and love to be out in the woods . food looked awesome . I crown land camp on the Pickerel river not far from key river area, have to love crown land camping . quite the hike you went on ,
Thanks, ya he’s a sweet little guy. We had a great trip with him. I know that area as where you camp as it’s a short distance north of me. Thanks a lot for watching
Most men would not think of taking there wife and child on a snow trip on foot.
Not to mention trying to film it all. Great Job Jim. Nice editing too. Now I'm fired up to make some adventures of my own....... I'm actually looking forward to winter this year. Anything to escape reality. hehehe
Indeed! Glad i could help you get fired up. I love traditional-style winter camping when i have the time. It does take more time if you want to get into a remote spit. Definitky more stressful with the little one at times but sime awesome memories made
That is a ton of work especially with a baby! You guys are awesome! Great memories.
Меня родили в сибири и тема снега и холода мне знакома.Но путешествовать с маленьким ребенком это возможно.Спасиба что поделился этим опытом со всеми.
what a great family trip. ur such troopers. and u picked a beautiful spot. thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much, ya it’s always harder with the little one along but its worth it for sure.
I think you guys are great. For anyone that says you shouldn't take Wesley on your trips they are wrong. It is a great experience for him and as he grows up he will learn so much.and have very found memories. you will be teaching him the way to survive out there. If he was my Great grandson I would be so jealous. Why in all your videos that Tori is in she gets stuck splitting the wood. Ha!!! Take care and be safe. I will not be able to come up to the Pickerel this summer do to the Virus. Maybe next year.
Ya, some scary times. Thanks a lot for that and re. Tori, I can’t keep her off the axe if I tried!
I love that you guys take your son on these adventures god love yas
I’m so thankful for finding these videos with your wife and son. It’s giving me the opportunity to show this to my wife and let her see just how much fun wife and husband can have out together. That said, we are in Florida so my worst day is likely easier than a your nicest day there. Once again, you struck gold with that woman at your side. Made my heart warm when you won alone and announced you would marry her after so many years together. Late late late congratulations 🎈🎊🎉🍾
Thanks a lot, I think yiu May be thinking about my brother to an extent though but we’re commonly mixed up. Even by the editors of the show a couple times they labeled the wrong name while we were speaking haha
Elk Steaks and butter! that is my idea of a camp meal!
I agree on the butter! And the garlic, salt, and pepper. Also oregano is really good on any game! Cheers from Utah! Love your content!
Thanks a lot!
Wow I worked up a sweat watching you tear down and pack up your campsite... Impressive effort!
Thanks a lot. Ya this trip was pretty demanding but we still took a lot of time to fish
Jim Baird - Adventurer did you catch anything?
Ya, quite a few brook trout
it is so nice to see you trekking with you baby so inspiring
thank you for sharing
Thanks a lot and you’re welcome!
Showing your son the great outdoors is the best thing you can do ! People often make comments about my daughter doing scrambles and backpacking in the Rockies. Some people don’t realize if you grow up doing those things you become very comfortable doing it !
This is so true, it just gives out that outdoors confidence for the rest of your life. I was raised doing it and I always had a lot of confidence in my self moving forward. And I knew that, what I didn’t know I could learn quickly because of the knowledge base I already had and I’ll still always learning.
That’s absolutely right. Going out in the bush teaches us so much confidence, problem solving, team work, organization, work ethic, appreciation, exercise the list goes on. More kids need to get out and feel a bit more uncomfortable in my opinion lol ( adults too) as long as your prepared there’s nothing wrong with going outside. Keep having those wonderful family experiences out in nature ✌️
Really admire you guys! Of course its ok to bring Wesley along! I can only see positive experiences for him and his family. Nothing better. You guys are bloody Warriors!!! Rock ON!!
Will do and much appreciated! Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch and for your support too.
Man I love February in Canada. Best time to be outdoors.
Nothing wrong with taking the kid out, just as you said, be prepared, and don't be too far from help. Things can go sour for little ones a lot faster than with us. Best place for childhood development is in a natural setting, especially when he's more mobile.
And who would give you grief over using butter!? Best thing ever. I just don't like that it burns too easily, so I often add a little oil to raise it's smoking temp.
That boy will grow up to be the ultimate outdoorsman!!
Thanks!
Wesley has great parents, very much like my own! May they rest in peace!
Darn right take that boy camping! I watched the Crawford's Fight For Together on you tube hike the Appalachian trail with 6 kids the youngest 2. Its 94 F 34 C here in Phoenix today so I felt a pleasant little chill watching you, Tory and Wesley in the snow.
I think it's great that you guys took your son to experience the great outdoors. I have many memories of my parents doing the same. Keep doing what you guys love to do.
Thank you very much and indeed we will
great trip to the back country. I can't think of two better, more knowledgeable people to take a little one winter camping. It is great to involve the whole family.
Very nice video!! I enjoy watching outdoor adventures! I miss Buck and I'm sure you do also 😥 Take care and be safe and healthy!❤🙏
Thanks, ya we sure do. He would have loved this trip and would have been a big help pulling a sled too!
Wesley is a lucky young man. He may not remember this trip, the video will help 😉.
But the adventures ahead will be epic.
Beats sitting on your butt like too many people do these days.
Stay safe!
I would agree. Thanks very much!
I think it is completely awesome that you have brought your child out on A backwoods adventure
Thanks very much 🙂
looks like a fun trip, especially without the black flies and mosquitos that seem to be so frequently tormenting you in other videos
Wesley is sooo lucky to be able to experience the wilderness with two capable bush parents! I did a lot of car camping with my daughter but wish I could have done more wilderness stuff. I only got to experience real wilderness travel in my adult years after she was grown and on her own. Looking forward to seeing you all on more adventures. Thanks for sharing! :)
only the 2nd vid ive seen...great place you live and youve a great woman who chops trees down. brings mushrooms and onions..blimey mate, thats camping..all the best for 2022....nice one jim..be safe you guys..mick in orkney,,,ps youve nearly the same truck..right at the end..mines a mitsy tho..be safe....
Thanks a lot, ya I’m a lucky guy, what can I say! That was my 4Runner but I have a Ram now.
What a beautiful excursion into a wonderland. (and what a workout!).
Big Jim, you learned me something new by taking the time to explain how to ID dead standing hardwood and softwood. Appreciate that.
Mmmmmm. Nothing finer than when Tori puts U into better. Makes me hungry. Grows some big strong boys too! Keep up the good work folks!
Great family trip, guys! My family of 4 has an old saying that we often half-jokingly use: "The family that _______s together, stays together" (fill in the blank with whatever activity you happen to be enjoying/working hard at, at that moment). You have a super fam there, Jim. Thanks for taking us along on this way cool (no pun intended) and fun outing. BTW, thnx for all the useful bush lore and other interesting facts of life in the northcountry you always share with/teach us in these vids; always learning some awesome stuff here : ). All the best to you, Tori and Wesley.
You guys sure know how to eat! I love that you’re getting your kid outside right off the bat
For sure man, we did it up on this trip and also, that’s one of the best things about being out on the land in winter is nothing goes bad.
I was yelling YES! when Tori said you can't go wrong with salt, pepper, and Garlic powder.
That is the spice combo of LIFE. So many other seasonings/rubs have SO many ingredients
that you don't know what your tasting?? Great drone footage Bro and a sweet trip period!
That lake you/Ted/ and Shawn stayed at is a special place for sure. I recognized the treeline. Great stuff Brother!
Be careful with salt, we eat to much from it. doctors call it the silent killer...
@@vliegendehollander55 I feel us living in northern Ontario live long happy lives everything can kill you if you use too much . But enjoy life within reason . Adults really don't need someone telling them how much if life to enjoy.
Blessings to you all, much love
Thanks very much
I wish I was there to help you Tori....I just love Westly!!!!
Life is great! And you and Ted make it even better! Thanks!
Nice wholesome family video right there. Thanks for sharing Bairds
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
What an awesome video and family adventure...loved it!
Thanks!!
@@JimBairdAdventurer me and my wife are looking into winter camping gear now we can't wait to give it a go the Cape Breton Highlands are beautiful in the winter!!
Tory is a dynamo. Props to her!
She is! Thanks a lot
A very well prepared and ambitious trip to say the least! Well done pulling it off safely and with great filmography. The drone shot of making fresh tracks on the pond was beautiful. Great job.
Much appreciated
I enjoy all the videos. This one seemed to offer a change in the warmth I see and feel. The tone, pace and family feel is a real lift to the project. For me, and I hope other teammates, we may have just opened a larger experience and rich family adventure. Thanks
You’re welcome and that is very nice thanks a lot. This is how it felt and how I tried to express while editing it so it’s nice that you noticed that.
I love that you guys take wesley with you, being outdoors is soothing and peaceful. What gorgeous weather to go camping in.
Agreed, thanks a lot
Excellent video and weather. Great parents, take Wesley anywhere you want. Expand his experiences.
Awesome video.....winter bushcraft requires so much more physical energy.
Stay safe:)
It does, we also hauled a gigantic tent!
Jim Baird what I appreciate about your final comments is what it means to love bushcraft. Every trip is a learning experience.
I believe I take away something new every time I am in the field.
Even on solo winter bushcraft trips you are pushing it to the limit regarding exhaustion.
Doing this trip with the family is impressive. Your wife is awesome with her positive attitude and physical endurance.
You guys rock.
Keep er going .
Thanks a lot, and it’s true that the more you know, the more you know that you don’t know.
Super cool adventure , love being in a warm tent , cooking food🏕 when it’s cold outside - something primitive about it that makes ya feel alive . Just watched your 4hr plus Documentary canoeing & camping .. really enjoyed it , especially the Lemming doing the dodgy paddle 🏊♀️ keep up the good work amigo ✊🏼✊🏾🇨🇦
Hey weight was Wesley on that sled that just whent doun the hill.lol just kidding .wow what great shots beautiful snow.thanks guys for showing your video.amazing
Haha, no he wasn’t I assure you. Thanks a lot for watching
Epic drone shots of the scenery.
Thanks a lot!
Nice couple. Youre very lucky Jim, your wife supports your interest and is a hard worker. Not all wives will work like she does
That is the truth. Thanks very much for watching
very cool kids! thank you you doing the work & me having the fun ! enjoy ty :)
I thinks it's awesome that u take Wesley with you. Beautiful country there, hope you enjoy every minute of it.
Another great video. Better than TV.
Thanks a lot!!
Great family adventure. Great video
Tori is one tough wahine(woman) you go Tori. I love all of Jim's postings n videos.
Thanks, and I’ll tell her you said so!! 🌺 🌊 🏄♀️ 🌋 🌴 🌺
I'm so jealous while watching been wanting to go camping in winter but my husband said too cold,😨😱 LOL!
You know it’s pretty sweet when you have a canvas tent and a wood stove like this....it keeps it really warm in there even when the temps drops big time
I'm such a wus. I turn into a slug in the winter because I'm always cold, so thanks for sharing your trip with us. I really enjoyed it!!
You’re very welcome! Ya, it can take a little more of a push to get yourself out there in the winter for sure but if you have warm cloths and a warm winter sleeping bag and a canvas tent with a wood stove it can be a blast! And no bugs!
@@JimBairdAdventurer Ya, you do have a lot of bugs in the summer, but I would take that any day over the cold!
I hear ya. I like the summer better too. I mean, all seasons are good but really, who doesn’t actually like the summer best?
I wish I had done this when my kids were younger. This is an amazing trip. My 16 year old son says he wants to do a canoe trip this summer. He doesnt know what he's in for, I'm sure memories will filter out most of the calamity and portage pain :-)
Indeed lol, I’m sure he’ll like it.
you two are amazing and so is wesley haa nice nice nice
You guys are awesome!! So cool for Wesley to grow up in that kind of environment. Keep the videos coming!!
Thanks a lot and will do
Watching your wife with the baby on her back reminds me of taking my own kid in a similar carrier to go Geocaching, bushwacking all the way lol
Good job on the quesadillas, Tori. And thats Coming from a Mexican lol. Another Great video guys!
Nice! They were delicious. Thanks for watching
I for one, think it's awesome that you bring Wesley on your trips. I took my son fishing when he was 4 mos. Old. Guess what his favorite activity is today at 17?!! Yup, fishing. You're giving him a great start to a love for the outdoors. Looks like a beautiful place to camp. I love Jim's informative chats about the trees and history of the land. Thanks for sharing even when some can be harsh with your way of life with your son. He's totally fine and you're very attentive parents.
Thanks very much and I’m glad to hear you enjoy the tidbits about the trees and stuff like that. We haven’t gotten many comments recently about taking our son camping but we’ve had a few pretty ‘interesting’ ones in the past. It’s reasons like that that come people say you shouldn’t even read the comments because they could sway how you do things and that could ultimately generate less authentic and worse content.
What a cool family, no pun intended...
Awesome family time! Thanks as always for sharing. Good stuff there! And I say to Tori, nice work for picking up the slack :-)
Great winter adventure! thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome. Thanks for checking it out.
really nice man you and torry are a power couple
Thanks 👍
Epic video again from the toughest ( & cutest ) couple on UA-cam ! Love the outdoors so these are so memorable. Thank u 👍🇨🇦🎯😊⛺️🎣
Wow 🥇 thanks a lot and we do always make good memories in trips like this.
My son Alex went on his first camping trip when he was 7 weeks old. He did stay in my parents camper at night because my tent wasn’t a “hot tent”.
He Also went on a 40 mile/6 day hike when he was almost 2. Carried him on my back in a Kelty kid-carrier pack through it all. Pretty awesome memories!
That is quite the hike. Awesome.
Such an inspiring family. We all can learn so much from being outdoors. Most of my best memories as a child are from when we were camping. Tori is definitely a badass walking in snowshoes and carrying Wesley. Such beautiful scenery you’s showed us and great cooking. This was such an enjoyable video to watch and I think Wesley is getting the best care and love. Keep doing what your doing.🥰
What a great adventure! We are fortunate to live in Northern BC and while watching we were reminiscing about a camping trip we took with our twin boys years ago to the Yukon. We did a lot of hiking and their mum was always doing much “hey bear!”. The boys were always getting upset with her because “You’re scaring the animals away”. :) They were 4 years old, it’s an experience that they have vivid memories of today. Great vid, thanks for sharing and cheers!
Tmi bet that was a great and memorable trip for sure. From my observations, it’s amazing how little it can take to positively influence a child. I’ve been to Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek and canoed the upper and lower Stikine in 2007. Amazing country. I didn’t a big Yukon trip last year too which I have a video series up here on. So, I love these areas that you are lucky to call home!
Wow that was amazing winter adventure there with the family. Sad not seeing Mr Buck with u guys either.
A wonderful video Jim. I liked it. It shows how beautiful the back country is in winter.
As always, a really good and interesting video with lots of great nature shots. Oh man, your lady is just great, carries your little son on her back, cooks in the tent and makes your winter camping really cozy so that your little one feels completely at home, great. Capeau you two, looks like the right ones have found each other. Cant wait for your next vid. Stay safe and healthy 💫☘️🤩💐
Thanks very much. Yes, tori is awesome in so many ways
Love the video! Wesley is so cute and it is great to see that you are taking him on some of your camping trips. I think that will prove to be very valuable for him later on. Love to see Tori she is such a natural out there in the woods. I hope to be half as good as her some day. She is aspiring . I miss Buck. I was thinking of him as you were pulling the toboggan sleds. Hopefully someday you can get another great dog. Thanks for the videos! Looking forward to another one.
Thanks a lot, we will get another dog in time for sure. Maybe in the fall.
Great video . Thanks Jim
No prob
I miss camping, this stay indoors is too much...can't wait for the outdoors to be open again
Tell me about it
What a beautiful son you have!
Thank you!
