Jim Baird - Adventurer of Alone Season4: 11 Days Solo Wilderness Camping in the Arctic Watershed - E. 12 - Sunrise Mist & Low on Food:
I awaken camped at a pristine waterfall where sunrise mist rises up from the whitewater. After retrieving my foodbarrel, boiling water with my JetBoil camping stove and loading my dry bag I begin portaging. I take a shortcut and run into some waterfall danger before I begin fishing for trout to no avail. I need to use a McGiver wilderness technique to fix my fishing rod. Ledges in the way I negotiate them and run into some whitewater. Fishing is not going well and I'm concerned as I'm low on food and I go through my provisions to take inventory. After paddling 35 kilometres, I find a nice campsite, make camp and settle in for a well deserved nights sleep....the next day will include some serious, advanced level whitewater and I'm a little nervous.
On this trip, I'm prepared with proper outfitting - survival gear including trail tape and ready to solo whitewater rapids, bushwhack and portage in the Arctic Watershed. This film series is about bushcraft survival in the woods where I’m truly alone in the wild, deep backcountry camping, using wilderness techniques, exploring, and fishing Northern Ontario by canoe. Beginning on a remote river I reach via a forest access road, I solo wilderness travel to reach the advanced level whitewater of the North French River. I then paddle on the Moose River, completing the trip some 330 kilometres later in the community of Moosonee where I catch the Ontario Northland Polar Bear Express train. On this adventure, I solo paddle, catch Walleye and Northern Pike, trek, paddle and camp. What’s better than catching wild trout for a catch and cook over the fire in the wilderness? I also find a remote, trapper’s cabin, run multiple whitewater rapids, undertake long, bushwhack portages and see a lot of wildlife including Moose sightings.

@@ooopretty7596 haha, good point!
thanks for another great video. my twin and i are getting each other canoe gear gifts for our birthday later this month!
Jim the River Beast!
Thank you again Jim. What a beautiful country GOD bless you
Thanks Mr Baird, I'm so glad that you still let me follow on your trip.
Of course man, you’re really welcome!
Need this series to last until Spring.....too much to ask for Jim?? Great getaway!
I don’t think it will but there will be two or three more I think
I agree! This is getting through the long winter.
@@JimBairdAdventurer ya
Your the happiest mad man I know Jim thank you for your hard work
Best canoe trips on the internet!
I started typing " Where are the fish? You ALWAYS catch fish!" @ the end of your video, and then that last bit, beautiful morning indeed sir! Thank you Mr. Baird for your breathtaking , hard working adventures, I appreciate you
You’re very welcome? :) ya, it was tough going on the fishing due to the heat as it never usually gets that hit for that long there
Always a great day when Big Jim drops a new video. Thanks for bringing us along on the journey. Another great video. I've said it before and I'll say it again. You do a kick ass job catching your journey on camera. One man crew
So disheartening when the fish aren't biting on the water! Thanks for letting us forget about the ice and snow for a bit, cheers!
Indeed, thanks a lot for watching
Absolutely loving this series! Found your channel through your Yukon 14 day trip and was hooked. You're a massive inspiration to those of us who love the outdoors. You're living life the way its meant to be lived!
Heck ya man, great to have ya as a sum. I’m trying my best to do just that.
Waited all week to have the uninterrupted time to enjoy this episode! Not unlike waiting to open a Christmas package that's been under the tree all week! We'll worth the wait! Nothing finer than being in a canoe!~~~
Indeed, thanks for waiting to check out it and I hope you enjoyed it!
Aside the soupy oatmeal ( sorry I'm a "real" oatmeal guy) was an epic episode, seems all I can do to wait for the next one ... Can't wait until your done and I can watch it all from front to back!!! Just love the ability to get to the bush from the couch thanks for bringing it back to us 👍
Haha, thanks a lot!!
Absolutely the best series in this genre on the tube. Thank you Mr. Baird. Your trip with Kory was very awesome as well.
Thanks, I don’t know any Korys 🤔
@@JimBairdAdventurer Your woman. Sorry I got the name wrong.
Love the butterfly photobomb! Really enjoyed the river and your expertise! 👍🚣♂️🇨🇦🔥🐟
That was so cool! Thanks a lot!!
Best notification on my phone since the last episode of this series!
It’s clear that long distance travel is your passion but man you’d make some great content with shorter and more localized trips. I realize from this series that your backcountry knowledge, threshold for discomfort and camp chit-chat, works nicely with shorter adventures. Long or short, I appreciate your work. Thank you.
I WATCHED THIS LAST NIGHT. I DO ENJOY SEEING ALL OF THE BEAUTY THAT SURROUNDS YOUR ADVENTURE AND I TRY TO TAKE AWAY SOME NEW ANGLE FROM YOUR SKILLS OR SOMETIMES I SAY ALOIUD, YEP THAT'S HOW I DO IT, TOO. THANKS JIM!
Totally enjoying this epic adventure. And can't wait for the next installment, especially since it looks like a great beginning...fish on the line!!! My favorite scenes are seeing the beautiful fish you land. 🐟
Nice, thanks a lot. Too bad this trip has t been the best on the whole for fishing but I’ve still had my moments!
Hey Jim, the world is waiting.
I don’t get how you don’t have 500k subscribers. You do true adventures and bring us along. Hard work , you deserve at least that.
I know right! 🤷♂️ I haven’t been monetized for even two years as of yet so maybe it’ll start picking up!
@@JimBairdAdventurer Not monetized? Well why not? You should be.
You start the day with stretch and then I remember you don’t have a cameraman with you! Got me again...the butterfly on cue was perfect. People sit all day for a shot like that inside places full of butterflies. How many clicks did you travel this episode? You must either be missing Tori or you are getting hungry after checking the fish and food stores....until the morning yeeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh!
I think I did about 35kms this day. Ya, I think that was still a genuine stretch haha...but I obviously had to get out of the tent, set up the tripod, climb back in and then get out for the shot!
Very nice beautiful picturesque footage loved every minute❤️😊👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks very much!
Great video, brings so much serenity and ideas. Brilliant idea adding the little tip/info snippets. We need more Jims forsho.
What a day! Outstanding. Just a beautiful river. The sound effect at 16:30 gave me a heart attack. 😳 but it turned out fine. Thought something bad was coming... Too bad the fishing isn’t working out for the moment. Nice campsite. Good fire! Really enjoying this series. Thanks Jim. I know it’s a lot of work
That was an effective addition that sound effect when the current grabbed my stern and pulled it towards the drop.
@@JimBairdAdventurer I saw that! Thankfully it stopped!
Not a lot of whitewater, still a very beautiful day... well done Jim.....
No, not a lot at all. The next could days will be back to back rapids
Wow & Wow!
Wish I were there!!
Thanks for sharing another piece of that adventure..
Stay Safe
You SIR have BALLS. Outstanding.
Just a great series to watch. This stuff is real and not polished. That makes it so exciting. Thank you.
No fish again! I felt for you, Jim!
Thanks, ya tough pill to swallow
Reminds me of my trips in the early 1980’s ! Paddled from Temagami to Moose River crossing! Thanks so much Jim for bringing back fond memories of the north woods. Keep the videos coming Jim, thanks so much!
Love how you start the fire....a large bundle of twigs and moss, lit from the bottom followed by small stuff. No feather sticks like it’s supposed to be in a museum. Exhausted after a long day. Down streams V’s Jim!
Indeed, thanks a lot...ya it sure helps when it’s been very sunny and dry and all those small sticks are bine dry.
@@JimBairdAdventurer You’ve had some great weather, it’s true. No feather sticks needed. Thanks for sharing the trip!
Amazing day off..
Baird nature 💕💕💕
Hey Jim you really know your rapids, yay!!! 👍👍👍💯💯💯
nice video, we expect more😎👍👍
👍👍 it’s coming
'Been waiting for another Baird video! I'm hooked on your videos!! Thanks. In a world of being 'stuck at home', I become invigorated when I watch your videos! Thank you so much!
What a great journey !!!, thanks for sharing. Greatings from the Netherlands.
thx for making this trip, so horrible yet so beautiful. i gotta say jim, you are a work horse, keep on keeping on !! #Jimsquad
Hey Jim, I just got done watching this episode with ear buds on and I find myself swatting my ears to keep the skeeters away. For the next segment I'm going to put on my deep woods off before I start watching.
Another fantastic episode Jim. Keep up the good work big man.
Your low water situations reminds me of a story I read about a Missouri steamer struggling upstream over a sandbar back in the 19th Century. The boat’s engines were straining, paddlewheels were churning madly, and every member of the crew was holding his breath as the vessel crept inch by inch over the bar. A woodchopper living in a cabin on the river bank chose this moment to
come down to the stream’s edge for a pail of water. As he turned away with a brimming pail, his action caught the captain’s eye. “Hey! you!” shouted the exasperated captain. “Put that water back!”
Thank you!!! You're getting there!! Cool how the butterfly was on your camera, such beautiful views WOW!!
Thanks a lot, ya that was an unexpected surprise!
Thanks Jim. Cold AF in the world we live in right now! Stay warm!
Right on, just watched all the episodes and now the next one is here👍. Grueling friggin trip man, separates the men from the boys.
Big thanks for giving them a watch! Enjoy! Ya, not the easiest in the earlier streches
This video series is awesome as all of your series are - from footage to narration. Jim, you always know when to throw in interesting things that I would never know. Seriously, why do you not have a million subscribers? lol.
Loved the butterfly shot @ 17:50. Awesome.
Awesome Jim. You're one tough hombre. The real deal.
I just planned out 34 minutes of my evening. Looking forward to it.
Awesome, enjoy!
@@JimBairdAdventurer Thanks. I always do.
Thanks again. I`ve seen all the episodes and looking forward seeing the upcoming too! Greetings from snowy Finland. 👍🏼
I really injoy you and your brother's video's. Cheers jim stay safe👍😎👍
This has been a great series so far... really enjoying it. Thanks
You’re very welcome!
A stunningly beautiful river and scenery!
32:05 - perfect shots Jim. That reflection, followed by the ripples in the water
Thanks to your videos, we are buying our first canoe and getting back into fishing! Keep up the great work!!
Jim I just got my Starlink satellite internet today and watching one of your videos in HD for the first time is a real treat!
Sweet, how fast are your upload speeds?
Getting between 50 and 170 mbps download speeds, still need to get it on the roof but there is two feet of snow and ice up there! Very impressive performance
Jim: my grandfather was raised in Newfoundland. Schooner family. Been there...you’d love it. Salmon galore
I hope this adventure never ends.. So incredible entertaining, informative and jet relaxing. I love the concept of these "info boxes" that pops in once in a while, i learn alot from them. Thank you for yet a great episode Jim!
A couple of nice trout will lift the spirits. Looking forward to the next one.
Great series Jim . I laugh every time u drag canoe over rocks that gelcoat sure takes a shit kick in’ . 👍🎯🇨🇦
Thanks a lot! This boat is Royalex so, no gelcost
Loving that North French River, Jim! And almost no black flies or mosquitos! Out of this world, though almost nobody would ever portage in, as you did. AweSOME
Keeping me sane big man, looking forward to virtually running the white water with you next time.
Pretty hard to get up when the nice suns warmth and water fall noise puts you back to sleep lol! Alarm clocks are not natural lol! Cheers beautiful spot!@
So beautiful! Rapids, eddies, perfectly calm mirror-like water and a butterfly posing. Awesome! Thanks for posting these. Reminds me of summer as we sit in minus 25 degree weather in Clagary this week 🤣.
Hello boy, what beautiful landscapes there are in your country. I have already seen you in videos with our friend James from Ontario. Greetings to you from Medellin, Colombia. Have a happy day.
Hi Jim, another nice edition to this series. Too bad fishing was poor and pasta on the menu. That's why it's called fishing and not catching 😁. I'll be looking for the next video my friend.🇺🇸🔪🔥🌲
Very beautiful and so exciting to watch!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now you are a Voyager, earlier today you were a courier du bois, avec Tori. you're wearing me out James, LMAO. just random watching adventues, I do watch the collective format as well, on to the next episode.
Thanks a lot lol hope you’re enjoying them
“Freakin’ sketchy!” LOL. That needs to be on a t-shirt. Good stuff once again. Filming and editing these is a lot of work but I’m really glad that you take the time to do it. Thanks for sharing your talents!
You’re very welcome, ya a couple freaking sketch things around the corner on this trip coming up too.
I would've thought for sure you would have gotten into some trout.
Smoking some walleye from moose lake would've been nice in hindsight I imagine.
Looking forward to the next one 👊
Indeed, thought it would have slowed me down some but as long as I got a good smoking initially I could set it up at the next campsite
Bro you put the rest of these youtube bushcrafters to shame. Awesome series
Thanks a lot man.
Thanks Jim, Beast of the Great North🌲❄️🌲❄️🌲🇨🇦💨💨🛶.
Jim, I'm totally hooked on your channel since I discovered the Yukon trip. You're creating the far best content on outdoor and practical survival. Lots of love and appreciation from Holland 👌
I like when you tell us what you really think of those bugs after spraying Jim. 🤣👍👋
So glad you finally are catching some nice pickerel..I was thinking that might be a good spot to just try.
Looks like a really nice size river.
Indeed, there harder to catch but they’re there, in the deep slow moving pools at wide bends
AWESOME TRIP...FEELS LIKE I'M THERE WITH YOU. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE...YOU SHOULD BE LIKE NETFLIX, JUST PUT ALL EPISODE OUT AT ONCE:) YES LOTS OF WORK TO DO THAT...big fan, learning a lot.
Awesome! Looking forward to this
Man that water looked great for fishing too it must be that water temp keeping them out of there. I'm watching with My head phones on and the Bugs at the last camp had Me swatting them away from My ears as if I was there LOL
28:12 - that's how I talk to flies/mosquitos too lol. Overall beautiful stretch of river you covered, amazing how fast 100km can pass by.
A friend stopped by and I showed him this and he was like "How did they get permission to film a homeless guy who canoes and camps?" Needless to say I had to show him a few other videos. Great stuff, by the way.
While watching you my son called . we,re planning our next river trip as soon as Covid lets go of it,s grip. Thanks for letting us ride along today tho.
i love the way you do your videos i have been on many canadian wildernes trips and you capture that cool love of the wilderness self confident dont be such afraid of the wilderness enjoyment embraced
"A real rapid! Yessss!"
another awesome video Jim keep up the good work looking forward to the next one :)
Another great video Thank you 👍👍
Beautiful place, I keep imagining a bear running out of the trees and splashing in the river
Awesome again. To us Ontario southerners that river was epic. Lol Gonna be sad when this trip is over, at least until the next adventure.😘 Keep them coming.
Thank you for making and uploading these - I love this series and all of your videos really!
Again .awesome series love thanks
Very nice series. Hello from Ireland

Jim, this is more entertaining to me than anything on Netflix or Hulu. Thank you man! Keep up the great work! Bulls Dick!
Can't wait to see what's in store
👍
The butterfly at 17:58 was so cool!
Wonderfully shot and edited Jim thank you. They end too soon but looking forward to the next one. Cheers
Jim is catching what we call here in the states " blind salmon" all the way down the river !!!!! Lol
Haha, thanks and I appreciate you watching
you make me feel everything, as if i were there doing it myself. Thanks for the journeys in which i do not leave my couch!!🚣🚣🚣🚣
I appareciate the work you did in this series. Keep em coming :)
Loving this series, thanks so much. Looking forward to bingeing on your other adventures too! I'm impressed with your dedication to getting so much video footage... I know that takes discipline when there's so much to do, and skill, both of which I lack 🤣
Bring it on!! I’m ready for the adventure 😁😁 Hopefully there’s 12 more of these bad boys!!
I really enjoy your video adventures Jim they’re so real balls n all, but I would like to see you worry less about time limits and daily distance and just immerse yourself completely in the experience. Also looking forward to the day when you hit 2 million subs you deserve some success
