Jim Baird: Yukon Bound - Alaska Highway Overlanding Adventure - E. 2 - The Great Plains to Mile 0
In the episode, we cross the Great Planes, see moose, run into some interesting weather and come up with an even more interesting camping spot before we push on to Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway. Driving to the Yukon, we used a Toyota 4Runner to haul an off-road trailer. My wife Tori and I were totally self-sufficient, hauling a place to camp, cook, and eat with outfitting in tow. We were totally off-grid for five days on this cross-Canada road trip. Winter Overlanding across a country known for winter had us feeling a little nervous, particularly because we were bringing our toddler Wesley with us. Camping with kids has its challenges. Once in the Yukon, we'd say in an off-grid log cabin while exploring the surrounding mountains for a couple weeks before moving on to other adventures in the territory. Nevertheless, a great adventure was had.

Thanks again for watching and have a great day!
What part of this vid did you like most? Thanks a lot for watching! Please subscribe to my channel for more.
My favorite part was the tire changing tutorial. My wife wanted me to add that Wesley is her favorite part.
Tori? :)
I love this chanel. In this vid I like especially the family interaction and how all 3 of you manage challenging situations with serenity and optimism. And of course, Lesly is the real hero. Greetings from Marbella Spain
Blocking machine gun fire....LOL! Wesley travels better than many I have traveled with. Pooh or no pooh!
[N]ot a👲🏻 “Dougly do right in sight” when you were speeding Lol!!!Just joking, um really, really joking ✌️😂 !!! Truthfully Braddah your the best at commentating 🎥 🎙💨💨.ML&Aloha Baird Ohana.
Such a patient son you have. Give him a big hug from us here in Sweden.
I will and yes he is!!
Mostly through it and Wesley wins the award! His smile is so powerful!
It is! Thanks so much
Such a great family rip, you and Tory just jump in and do what needs to be done. Love that trailer, especially when you had the tire changing adventure Wesley can just go in and nap.
I just love the way you guys edit these. Not all sunshine and rainbows, but those moments make the actual sunshine and rainbows all the more special. ❤️ Cherish your time with Wesley on these adventures! What a lucky lad to have such awesome parents! ❤️ He will benefit so much from these times! Keep on keeping it real! You’re an inspiration! 🇨🇦❤️🙏🏻
Thanks very much! Ya, it’s good to keep the cameras rolling even when things aren’t going the way you want them too and I also don’t shy away from showing failure either.
Don’t know what it is about your videos, but love to watch them. Beautiful family. Thanks for sharing

I loved watching you guys just being you. Its never easy to crawl out of bed into a cold dark morning but when you get you get going and are ready to set out again its so refreshing. It is one of my favorite times when I'm on an adventure.
This is the trite, glad you can relate. Thanks for watching
It's so much easier to get out of bed when it's for an adventure/travel tho. Still not easy when you are snug and prob still tired from the day before...but for me, seeing new stuff around every turn does more for me than caffeine ever will...but caffeine helps :D
It's just Grand Prairie, guess someone thought the "e" would make it look better haha. My great great grandfather left the prairies as the buffalo were scarce and pressure from European settlers were taking up land around present day Edmonton area. He was one of the first plains Cree to settle in GP, back then it was called flying shot lake.
Jim. I love watching your hard core adventures, but I must admit that I am following Tori’s adventures too. She is an amazing woman. If I had her self confidence when I was her age, I might actually have become that forest ranger I wanted to be. At 75, I think it is a bit too late now. I want the three of you to stay safe up there in Alaska. 😊
Love the kitchen area have to build one for my jeep. When you change a tire never put your hands between the fender above and the tire always keep your hands at 4 oclock and 8 oclock at the bottom of the tire to be safe. Never trust a jack.
The tire change was my favorite and you guys working through it together was great, but not filming getting the flat fixed later left me worried the rest of the trip! 🤣 Remember, 2 is 1 and 1 is none! 😳 Thanks for taking us along on your adventure, you guys have an awesome family!
Thai is true, I don ring a compression and tire plug kit along
@@JimBairdAdventurer They are pretty fast at any tire shop at fixing it for you
Laughing when I noticed the two yellow spots in the snow while you changed the tire. Ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Great videos.
Your Wesley is a real trooper, as that’s some journey to “endure” for adults, let alone wee ones ! 😊 I love the “stealth camping” in someone’s lot - arrive at night and leave early ! 😂 Looking forward to the next episode already 😊👍
Left at about 10am. Stopped to pay. Still no one there. So we just went. Always planned to go back and pay someday but never have. Now we dont remember where it was.
Did that once in Mississippi.. pulled in at 11pm no one there to take our money. Stayed at a spot near the bathroom's. It was a Saturday night. Got up at 9 on Sunday showered In their bathroom. Had breakfast. We never hooked up electric or water .
ol Jim loves his breakfast(s)...great guy!
I do haha
Who knew u could be so gentle ❤ luv seeing that other side of the grizzle bear 🐻 😅
Thanks a lot. I am definitely affectionate with my kids.
Not easy to pick one part, it is more the detail, way of filming, small jokes and narrative which makes it a pleasure to watch. Safe journey!
Thanks a lot. I actually asked that because it helps me put more of what people like into the vids so I appreciate it!
If you are overlanding or long distance driving, especially up there, you need a bottle jack in that rig.
Another good idea is the trailer tires/wheels need to be compatible with the rig
Cool adventure 👍
So great man. Your adventures are addictive and inspiring. Appreciate your level-headedness and commitment to safety (especially with the little guy with you!).
Thanks very much, ya it makes things scarier having him along for sure but very rewarding and you make some great memories!
nothing level headed about it
My old boss used to drive this route every summer to visit their vacation place in Alaska. He always brought 3 (three!) full size spares on the top of his truck for the journey. The stories of the road debris he encountered made for some great lunch time talk. Mark - you are that boss I am talking about! I hope all is well.
Thanks a lot, ya I think we did pretty well with flats all in. Maybe the winter is better for that then summer
That trailer is SWEET. I love that Wesley can nap in there while you change a tire or make a meal. It's wonderful. That kitchen made me green with envy - now I gotta look at them. A place to sleep, a place to keep your stuff and a place to sleep. Perfect. Lessee, my favorite part is your partnership - taking turns making meals, caring for Wesley, driving and so on. You are both so able with all the tasks at hand.
Agreed, it’s awesome. Thanks so much. I am indeed blessed
That 4 runner needs a little heavier springs it looks like... love the trip so far!
Indeed, lots of weight in the back and then the trailer
That teardrop trailer is fantastic- the cutest home on wheels I ever saw!!
Thanks a lot! Ya it’s perfect
@@JimBairdAdventurer You are towing nose down tho, you need to level it out. Either change your hitch pin from drop to a rise or fix the squat on the vehicle with air bags/springs or whatever. How you are doing it is hard on both vehicle and trailer. The frost heaves on the Alcan will hasten any issues.
Cool rig you guys have there...and that knife. Ooooh.
Now that's a knife.
Yes it is mate lol
Just not right not seeing Jim have 3 packs of oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. LOL
Right? Lol
Love the videos that include your family. You all are amazing,30 years younger I would be out there as well. Thanks for sharing.
i picked with your trip map in Edmonton, the rest of the way to Yukon is awesome, make sure you stop and sleep in laird hotsprings resort parking lot and use the springs down the boardwalk for a dreamy soak and clean up! i have passed thru 5 times and its my favorite! my trips were from wasilla alaska to florida or new york
You guys are so real. No phony stuff.
Jimb& Tori great to see the country again up there IT IS BEAUTIFUL Take good care of the Little One !!!
Will do, thanks very much
Hi Jim . I love all your adventures, especially the one when you took Buck vertually to the Norh Pole .
Please get another Buck . You need the back up and there is a doggie out there dying to be part of your family .
Love to you and yours. Julie xxx
I miss that beautiful sweet buck, as I am sure you both do too. Dogs just don’t get to live long lives and it is sad
How little Wesley is so good!!!!
A small chordless impact and some impact sockets would be a game changer. I always use mine for our RV for the stabilizers and bring my floor jack. The stuff that auto makers supplies works but not so 💩 hot. My wife and I went 2x from Brantford to Cloverdale BC. Yup, Ontario is big. I figure from Kingston to the Manitoba Border, 3 days for sane drivers.
Indeed, a good idea for sure, thanks a lot.
A beautiful tramily! I got my Jim Baird fix!
Thanks a lot!!
I'm just starting to watch each video in order now. Love how great a team all 3 of you are.
I carry a tire plug kit and an impact gun to make things easier for myself since I'm not getting any younger. I still have the stock spare tire but want to get another tire since I went a size up in tires , but still have stock size rims.
Love these episodes guys , keep it up and stay safe 🙏
Thanks a lot, ya we do carry a plug kit and a compressor…and tire goop too.
don't worry about what the trucker told you, you might get white knuckles like his but it's amazing .i had the same trucker tell me the last thing to do is stop over Truckee Cali. in a snow storm
Changing of the tire was the best! Despite all the semiconductors and GPS in the vehicle, changing a tire is a 1950’s job. Way to go! No CAA for you guys!
This is true! Glad you liked that part. Thanks a lot for watching and dropping a comment
Thanks Jim. That camper is pretty cool. Love the kitchen setup in the back. That generator looks slick. Amazing adventure. Left us with a Cliffhanger! Looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks a lot, ya that is so convenient with the kitchen.
Long cross country trip on remote highways, perhaps I should carry an extra spare on the roof of the truck? Naw, we'll be fine...
You guys are VERY lucky to have made this trip with just one spare tire. I would never had attempted that with my luck!
Haha, ya, true enough. We did have a plug kit and a lot of other patching stuff.
Thanks for sharing your trip, outside of the late start with the flat tire, the trip looked fun. Stay warm out there, brrrr!
Amazing!!! Perfect time to read and learn and for the life of me with all that equipment you do not have a tool to fix flat tires
Nice going guys....
I do have a tire plug kit and a compressor, I mention it at the end of the lord IOU’s episode
Epic journey, amazing family! Loved all of it.
Thanks!
20:31...what did you say,Jim..??!!🤣👍💪
I said - “this is some good eatin’ sandwich” I think the reference is from a movie called Freejack
My favourite part is seeing more and more of this amazing trailer. Must admit when I first seen it I thought there is no way Jim is going fit in there. Lol..... But after seeing all the room inside it’s pretty cool. It seems like it’s laid out pretty cool for travelling and everything is handy for getting back on the road quick. Amazing footage and scenery and of course sweet Wesely. Looking forward for more great videos.😘
Continue living the dream and I'll keep watching!
Will do!
Great trip so far.
I hope everything will be ok, l just love y’all adventures and love little Wesley. Blessings! 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍💯💯💯
Thanks very much 😊
I love how JB Adventurer can make a video about changing a tire, breakfast, lunch and breakfast so entertaining.👍

Seeing you interact with Wesley brings a big smile to my face. This whole trip is sending me down memory lane from when I youngster (like 10-12, if I recall correctly) and my family took a trip from Kingston Ontario out west to the Rockies and back. (the summer before we drove to the East coast and back, and the summer after we went up to Labrador) I cannot imagine how much planning and prep work to take those trips, pre computer, pre-GPS, luckily though we didn't have to worry about the cold, and snow and ice and we didn't go anywhere as crazy as I am sure you are about to go! I know at the time I did not appreciate it as much as I should have. But looking back I appreciate it and the time my parents spent with us kids greatly. Thanks for filming and sharing.
Great video and thanks for sharing. Safe travels.
Thanks and you’re very welcome!
what an adventure ! love the positive spirits!
Big thanks!!
Doing what needs to get. Done 👍👍
Indeed, thanks
Thanks for sharing your family adventure Jim.
You’re welcome!!
My favourite part was Tori telling you the bun was upside down. I didn’t even notice it and evidently neither did you 😅
I caused her of being OCD when I saw that in the edit but I left it in hoping someone could appetite it and you did haha...thanks a lot for watching
Love the videos man! Just want to say i’m a licensed bbq repair/installer by trade, in the future i’d like you to have the lighter already burning before you turn the gas on to cook. Many injuries and worse happen every year because people turn the gas on first.
Yes! The great adventure to the Yukon Territories continues. Wesley looked like he was enjoying himself and getting lots of rest. I hope you had that tyre repaired before venturing onto the Alaskan Highway? So looking forward to your next upload. Cheers!!!!
I liked the tire change , something id not like to have to do, also when you folks and Westley made it to mile 0 of the Alaskan Highway, how exciting But another snow storm not good .
loved it all ,travelling through the prairies is awesome .
Agreed, thanks a lot
Jim and Tori, what I remember from driving from Detroit to Alaska was that in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, I do not think the road had a single bend for 800 miles or so. Nothing but cornfields for all that distance, straight on for forever! Your video is bring back such good memories.
You road trip like I do....Love it! No good road trip is without a red bull and crappy coffee. Except of course in camp. I did the Alcan three times in the early eighties in a Datsun 310 GX hatchback. Those were road trips. Now with my 4Runner and Dometic fridge, I feel like its almost too cushy...
That was great what an adventure
Yes 👍 another amazing video 😊
Thanks a lot!
Our family first drove that highway in '70 and many times since...wouldnt go without...love your content, except it's making me homesick!! Lol
Thanks Jim for taking us along! Pretty intimate insight into your family life too - you guys are adorable and seem to make a great couple. Looking forward to the next episodes!
Oh - I loved this and did not want it to end!!!!! What an awesome trip! Such a great family adventure! Wesley is such a good little traveler! The trailer looks cozy and functional! Food looks tasty, great planning with the coolers etc. Thank you for sharing!
You’re very welcome and it’s great to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks very much for watching and for your lovely comment too. Have a great day.
Such a cool and blessed family getting on well with each other on that epic journey of yours.. Excellent video footage.. God bless you and your family and enjoy yourselves.. Shalom and love from Bru Andrew in Cape Town.. Cheers!! 👍🙏❤️🤗🌟
That trailer is just like a kitchen. I always carry a port air pump and tire plug kit..
I definitely do too. Ya the kitchen is great..thanks a lot!
Comentery on that last scene .yeah babe your driving im drink in. 😂 lol
I have made that trip a few times, always going up the Alcan. In 76 none of it was paved
Apparently it’s been straightens out in a lot of areas too so you dint get as many views, you look at the same view for longer. I wish a lot of things were still like they were in 76. Shit, I wouldn’t have to go to all this trouble making YT vids, just a camera and a pen would have gotten me as far then.
so nice to see you on your travel with your son, looking forward to your nest update, greetings from Norway
Here in Alberta we just say grand(e) Prairie. Until you said the French way I never really saw it as the French word Grande. You are always a wealth of knowledge, no matter how small/big it is. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome, I got a comment on here from someone saying it’s pronounced grande like the coffee size at Starbucks where they use the Italian pronunciation. I though that was freakin hilarious. Thanks for letting me know.
Tori offered to help. Good. 😇
Indeed, thanks for watching
Nice Video/Adventure......🙄👍
If you ever get a new pot that one deserves a spot on the wall of fame. I think I've seen it used on a number of trips.
I am emotionally attached to it
Can't wait
Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. I adore your family and their willingness to spend this time out in the wild. Please please tell me you took the time to get your spare fixed.. I am a nervous wreck waiting on the next video. I have heard many stories about the Alaskan Highway. It lives on tire tread. lol
Thank you so much for taking us along! Ya'll rock! Prayers up during your adventures!
You got a good wife Jim!
Thanks a lot, ya I definitely agree
She is a great girl!!
I love how every adventure, whether it’s kayak, canoe, foot or even car revolves around distance traveled each day. Lol 😂. Guess that’s how it goes when trying to reach a destination.
Changing a tire on an epic road trip IS "wonderful content" !!! There is never a journey without risk. And surely life without journeys won't suffice! Love to your family. 👍🇨🇦😉💜 p.s. you covered a hell of long ways in 4 days!!! WOW!
Thanks very much and he’s, this is true
REAL adventure continues, I just popped open a can of beer and peanuts, bring it on!
Nice, enjoy!
Your baby sleeps more than any baby I have seen. He sleeps through noise, cold weather, and your ice fishing.
I am really enjoying following along on this adventure with you and family (here from Atlanta GA. US.)
Oh, yeah, been waiting all week for this to drop!!! You and the fam are set, get the problems out of the way early!!
Sure hope you got that spare fixed
Wesly’s so cute❤️❤️❤️
Good Friday Jim, Tori and Wesley! This is a must do an adventure for any Canadian before you go anywhere else.
Indeed, thanks very much for watching
Troopers you guys are! Can't wait for the snowstorm part. LOL
Thanks a lot
Thank you Jim, Tori, and Wesley!
Yeh ! My town Dawson Creek BC ... Mile zero the start of the Alaska Hwy . Enjoy !
Will do, thanks a lot!! Nice town 🙂
brother the part around 7:30 playing with Wesley melted my heart! I never plan on having kids, but you two make it seem worth it. A great video series; I'll be watching everyone! best
Dada wants to snuggle you! Haha, ya I love him so much it’s out of control!!! I can’t even handle it sometimes. Thanks very much for that and for watching
Great as usual.....🦘
Thanks 👍
Great video love this adventure. 🙂🇨🇦👍
Been waiting for this drop all day.
Nice man, hope ya like it!
@@JimBairdAdventurer I always do. I especially liked when you were still RedBull narrating about the trailer heater and Tori tells you she is trying to get some sleep! Hilarious!
12:34 We wouldn't mind yous pulling over there, remember Friendly Manitoba, ha!
Your filming and editing is fantastic. Really great considering youre on a schedule. Felt like I was watching a real Hollywood film!! Thanks so much to all three of you. Happy Mothers Day today Tori🌹
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE AWESOME VIDEOS!!
You’re very welcome
Winter Tire, I never had winter tires on any of my two dozen vehicles and I live in Timmins ON. I never had problems in over forty years of driving in ALL rotten road conditions, you have to Drive to the Road Conditions!
Winter tires are actually the law in much of BC
Familiar places ! I stopped at the same place you had the tomato 🍅!!!
No kidding! What are the odds?
@@JimBairdAdventurer Same route! Whitehorse is beautiful hopefully yall make it there safe !
Cool, well no spoilers but whatever happens it couldn’t be that bad or else...who would be typing this?
Baby Wes is obviously the star!! Lol
If I drank a can of that Redbull, I'd be awake for a week, and might not live. LOL Coffee effects me enough, as well as Mountain Dew. I drank an energy drink one time driving to Gulf Shores Alabama from Wisc., and I woke up with a hamstring cramp so bad, I was black and blue down the back of my leg for 3 weeks. That was a nice look on the beach.
Damn - those sausage/egg sandwiches look awesome!
Omg, that sounds horrible. The stuff doesn’t seem to do a whole ton for me unfortunately. Sounds like quite the road trip you had there!
Amazing content
