    I watch these on a 77in 4k screen at 4ft distance. I find myself pausing the video all the time to admire the sceneries. These videos should be classified as anti-depressants

    I can’t imagine the planning involved in getting prepared for all your journeys! Especially when Tori and the kids go along. Jim, you’re and Tori’s knowledge on these journeys is so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing. Thank you Ted also. I catch myself always, looking back on Jim’s videos to make sure you are ok.

    First, nice Jim and Ted. Tthis is the best outdoor channel I know. That's exactly what I want to do.... You can only dream of that. Maybe you're the reason why I'm flying to Canada one day and doing a smaller tour there. With a gold pan, of course. . Greetings Tom 👍

    The caribou was pretty friendly the way it kept returning ti your campsite. What a scary realization that a grizzly was right behind you and Ted. However, that's not as scary as running out of coffee. 😁

    Arctic explorers back in the old days literally starved to death with plenty of food to eat because the potted meats were so lean. Good idea with the the lard thing. Not good for heart conditions but fine for healthy young folks. I hope we see some Char as we get closer to the sea. Thanks Jim and Ted for these great videos.

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  Місяць тому

      Interesting and I was recently doing some investigating on lard and learned that Lard is high in monounsaturated fats, which can be beneficial for heart health when consumed in moderation. It also contains saturated fats, which have been linked to heart disease when consumed in excess.

    I thought you two getting so close to the caribou was cool, but when I heard about the tundra grizzly, that made the encounter all the more special. And then the caribou came back, and how neat was that. RigRag portage was take-your-breath-away beautiful. Sad to see this series ending soon.

    Smart on the lard. The other stuff real unhealthy. So is cooking with aluminum- I have a video on it posted this week. Glad the grizzly didn’t get closer. Love the footage, back stories and adventure. Love your videos with the family. You are a terrific dad Jim. Both of you amazing parenting.

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks a lot. So, other than the lard we cooked with, we ate fish, home made beef stew, and oatmeal. There’s a lot of sugar in that instant oatmeal which isn’t ideal but we are burning a lot of calories. So, other than the sugar in my oatmeal I would say you’re incorrect about it all being “real unhealthy”.

Your final camp exactly where I've dreamed of being dropped off with a pak canoe or float tube to just wander and fish between the falls of both rivers there and overnight hike to Wilberforce... Kudos to you and Ted too, for taking us along.

    Just back from a 5-week fly fishing hiatus in NZ so playing catch up on the Arctic posts.
    Two things spring to mind:
    1. Where did the twigs for fire suddenly appear from?
    2. Lucky for Ted there were a lot of fish early on in the trip and you aren't a canibal!

    I have a question. How do you decide which side to take at the braids? I am guessing they change from when the water is high to when is low.

  • @johnl2749
    @johnl2749 Місяць тому +1

    Why did they starve with all the fish?

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  Місяць тому

      On this part of the journey, they were on foot. They were walking up the Hood. During Franklin's first overland expedition, the party struggled to catch fish in the Hood River primarily due to the timing and environmental conditions. It was late in the season, and the river's water levels were low, which affected fish availability. Additionally, they faced challenges with their fishing techniques and equipment, which were not always effective in the river's conditions. Overall, these factors contributed to their difficulties in obtaining enough food from fishing.

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  Місяць тому

      Well Caffeine is addictive but not majorly so. I’m just kidding about the panic of running out of coffee of course though. Look at when we were on Alone, for example, that was 75 days, no coffee, tea, etc. it’s not really a “panicked situation” or whatever I canned it here haha.

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  Місяць тому +1

      I know, it’s just that I’d initially planned this as a solo trip but Ted wanted to come along and, even though I knew the videos wouldn’t get as many views if Ted was there, I thought, in looking back on the experience, it would be a lot more meaningful to have done the trip with my brother than to have decided to do it solo for more views. That being said, he really has ruined every minute of it from beginning to end though. I may as well have been speaking in tongues for every episode and filmed every shot upside down at this point. Looking back, I’d be better off doing the adventure with a three legged screaming goat.

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  Місяць тому

      Thanks for chiming in. Also note that playing ringette gives you more control than playing ice hockey. The only problem is, if you like hockey, than you won’t enjoy paying ringette as much, and you don’t get good at hockey while you’re playing ringette (the easier, less skilled option), you’ll get good at ringette. That’s why I choose to canoe as opposed to canayak.
