Thanks a lot for watching. This film gives you all the best parts of the first six episodes of this series. The linked video picks up where this one leave off and is a condensed version of the last four episodes from this series enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/OsuvouAoiHQ/v-deo.html and please let me know what your favourite part of this series has been so far.
Thanks Jim. Unfortunately for you, my favorite parts are the hard portage parts. Gives a sense of suffering you go through. Makes the trip all that more impressive.
You betcha, Jim! Great narration! ..very genuine. Thanks for producing, yet, another interesting and inspiring vid! Ps I hope I can produce such great content! Stay Safe!
When these vedios popped on my feed,I was in awe,although I'm scared of camping and woods and stuff,I get a sense of peace watching these series..you and your wife rock...
I was born in Alaska when it was still a territory. My father helped with the Alcan. Log cabins, root cellars, running a trap line, tanning animal hides, listening to wolves, were just part of life. We lost our homestead in the "Good Friday" earthquake of 64. Thanks for the memories!
Sitting on my couch in the middle of February, dreaming of spring and fishing and hiking adventures! Thank you for the wholesome entertainment! You’re amazing!
Production skills are outstanding. You somehow still manage to capture the raw, independent nature of the adventure. By far the best on UA-cam, or anywhere for that matter.
@@tzuccolo2001 Lol, umm, no. It's just me out there filming. Think about it. How many shots do you even see of me paddling from shore or that could potentially be shot from another boat? None. I set a tripod up on shore or along the trail a few times. There are also no shots of me at camp that that move while I'm in the frame so, it's on a tripod, obviously no camera man. Why would I lie also? Funny that you sound so sure "there's a team of people working on it" haha, don't you just have it all figured haha.
I've been following you for a few years now- excellent videos and I don't stop watching till the end of each. I'm an adventurer but unfortunately a bit too old to be able to what you're doing. Keep it up
Wow! What a tremendous film! It really makes me yearn for my youth, lol. Sadly I'm an armchair adventurer now but I can live vicariously through films like this. Thank you for that!
The cinematography in this series is amazing , Your perseverance and endurance is outstanding in this remote wilderness not many will ever see. Thank you for bringing us .Loved the scene where you were trying to hold the fish lol slippery thing.the look on your face was comical . Nice to know that tip re the spruce pitch I didn't know that it could be used to heal a cut. such a beautiful wilderness area, love the clear waters and wild rapids fishing looked epic. . Thanks for this special episode. Ontario
Hello Jim! I'm 68 and never made it there. Always wanted to but looks like it won't happen! Thank you much for videoing your run! At least I got to see something of it! Have a good week ahead!
You’re very welcome! Thanks a lot for tuning in and giving my channel a shot. Great to have ya here and I’m glad you like it. I’m just heading out on another trip to the Yukon now!
Nothing like a cup of coffee to help me procrastinate. I'm going to use that tomorrow before I go to work. Maybe they will fire me for being late. One can only hope.
1:05:13 Full on beast mode. Up and down with no breaks. Definitely not looking to fall behind as much as possible. Fantastic adventure. Thanks for taking us along.
I can't hear or see the word Yukon without remembering my time in Alaska as a kid. We moved there by vehicle and traveled the AlCan to get there. When we moved away, we traveled the AlCan again. The AlCan is a must drive. You'll never regret 1 mile of it. We drove from Georgia to Alaska and back to Georgia again. It was the adventure of a lifetime.
I guess one of my favorite parts of your vids is the efforts you make to be safe!!! You have a beautiful family at home so SAFETY FIRST!!!LOVE IT❤️💚💙💖😁
1:15:38: Bush coffee: River water, coffee, powder cream, and a touch of gun oil! *big smile I don't know how many times I was like "Wow, be careful", "Wow, THAT is amazing!" and "Hehe, that was funny!!" during this amazing journey in nature's finest! Thank you, thank you SO much for inviting us on a trip only a few people will ever be on in person!
I have just started watching your video and I’m in absolute awe of you, Jim. I’m an avid writer of poems,..and know I’m in for one heck of end of my seat ride! Blessings my friend 💐
Absolutely stunning natural surroundings. I can even believe how beautiful this is and how adventurous to feel. So much of this video reminded me that I should have been doing more hiking and adventures as I moved to big capital and forgot my connection with nature. Thank you so much for bringing me back to this. Sending much love :)
I’m glad you like it and thanks! I don’t actually own any of the companies such as the outfitter I worked with in Whitehorse but I share knifes on them as they’re an important contact for anyone who’s looking to do a trip in the Yukon.
Love these longer videos but also really enjoy the episode format. Thanks for taking us to a beautiful place few, if any of us watching would ever be able to go.
Wow…. I’m a new subscriber ….actually just found you and I’m enjoying myself and the excitement is just like I’m there. Lol … reminds me of a tv series I loved called the Yukon. 😊😊 however, be encouraged , be safe and live your best life. Love, peace and joy.😊😊😊 2/18/2023 So the replays begin .

Breathtaking......now that's "Life Jim" but not as we know it 😉 Thanks for taking us along with you on this adventure. I'm currently paused about half way through and loving it 👌
Youve inspired me to become an amateur adventurer starting this year! After watching this video it made me realise this us my calling and im dying to do this trip you did. Thank you for these videos. Please let me know any advice youbhave for someone just getting started! Thanks from michigan!
I am deeply impressed to see you run this river alone, making such a wonderful film! A work of art! Good thing I have ears, or my grin would have gone all the way around my head. Listening to you read the river and then run it brought back old memories of a trip on the Athabaska River and whitewater classes on the Madawaska in Ontario. I got at least a glimpse of that special world. Today I am too old for these adventures, but the pictures and memories are in my head. Greetings from Germany!
Ok Jim I confess while waiting for you to upload I tired to watch other adventurers, and with no disrespect, they don’t seem to have the same excitement and enthusiasm that you bring. Going back to your archives while I wait. Keep up the great work 🛶⛰
Hi Mr Jim Baird thank you so much through out the years of you and your wife making great videos. You are serious . funny . inspirational . and knowable. I love watching these videos.
This is incredible! I grew up going on long wilderness adventures similar to this and I love how you are sharing your adventures with a large audience.
Just breathtaking! Where to start. Your videography is so good. I dont know how you do it with all the challenges you face. The beautiful mountains that look like volcanoes with clouds hanging over, beautiful sunsets, wildlife and winding waterways. What is my favorite part of this series so far...it's all so fascinating. I get to see the wild Yukon that I'd otherwise never see. Shooting the rapids is captivating. You are quite expert at it, using good judgment in scouting out the difficulty before your run them. Your survival skills and knowledge are impressive to say the least. Didnt even recognize you with the short hair and no beard. Wonderful series. Waiting for the next video. Cheers from Wisconsin .
I love your videos Jim! Unfortunately my bad is so fked up it prevents me from going out and doing what you love so much. I hurt so deeply and end up paying days for moments of enjoyment. Knowing and adhering to my limits is what I have to mind when I go out on adventures. I love hunting, fishing, camping, boating and pretty much everything that you cover in your videos. So while I'm unable to live my life to the furthest of its limits, your videos help me connect with the little bits of life that I so miss.. For that, thank you so much! Stay safe, stay smart and keep doing exactly what you do buddy.. LIVE LIVE LIVE!!! After reading the comments.. it seems like you bring the same joy that I miss to so many other folks just like me. I hope you stay inspired to keep inspiring us all. God bless.
Beautiful footage, I enjoyed watching. Someone I knew did a solo Yukon trip, she wrote a very good book about, it's easier to for me to copy and paste an Amazon review of it - Solo on the Yukon and Solo on the Yukon Again by Helen Broomell. "In the summer of 1981, 64-year-old Helen Broomell, mother of six and grandmother of ten, set off with an old aluminum canoe that had been shortened by cutting and riveting. She had found a ride on a ride board from her home in Wisconsin to Dawson, British Columbia, and the Yukon River. After three weeks paddling 600 miles by herself, she spent the next four months exploring Alaska by plane, train, Alaska Ferry, hitchhiking, river rafting, and dogsledding. Two years later, Helen returned and picked up her canoe at the gas station by the pipeline bridge where she had left it, and paddled another 750 miles by herself. When the weather got bad before she reached her destination (about 100 miles from the Bering Sea), she traded her canoe for a boat ride, and again spent several months traveling all over Alaska by any means available. This book combines her journals from both trips into one volume, and includes unforgettable anecdotes about bears, native villages, making friends, and being self-reliant."
Just imagine living out there on the land for 2 years alone. Daniel Boone lived in Kentucky alone for 2 years with the natives trying to get him. They thought he was a god. Daniel Boone died at the age of 86. Love the videos Jim. Thanks.
Thank you soooo very much for taking the time and sharing your adventures. I've done a bunch of Yukon river canoeing adventures in my younger years and your videos are a joy behond belief. Thanks for the time ⌚ and effort it takes to bring us along. I'm up there in age and you bring me back to wonderful and beautiful times. Thanks for bringing back all that excitement. 😃
Que aventura maravilhosa, muita emoção, muita técnica, gostei como transformou a canoa, as paisagens lindas! Não é um vídeo, é um filme, um documentário. Parabéns.
that was outstanding, my hats off to you sir!!!!one hell of a man to do what you just did, that was the best show i have seen in years,and by your self,wow, thank you so much , just outstanding !!!
Think I have watched this video before, remember you putting the 'gum' on your hand. Never tire of seeing the North, though. Good job, Jim. All the best to your family. Greetings from Ontario.
What an epic adventure! Having paddled the great 'Duzi', I have big respect for what you are doing. No salmon, no trout? Thank you for the excellent video - I hope someone sends you a waterproof drone for Christmas, sir. 🙂
No salmon but I aparently there are the odd Dolly Varden and whitefish at places. I never saw any. The Grayling is a salmonid and a beautiful fish so I was happy with them.
This is a really unique and challenging adventure to go on. Very interesting to follow. Thank you for your adventuresome spirit and determination to make it through this such a place as the Yukon and to record it for us who are watching. Oh yes - be careful!!!!
@@JimBairdAdventurer I have one more episode to go, seen you get a bit of the gold fever after you found that nugget. I wouldn't of been able to leave haha
Awesome trip, thanks for sharing it! Back in the late 70's, my wife and I put our kayaks on a flatbed rail car in Skagway and put in at the train station on Lake Bennett in the Yukon. We then paddled out to camp on that little island way out in the middle....then to Carcross, Lake Tagish, Lake Marsh to the head of the Yukon River and down to Whitehorse. One of the advantages of Kayak or Canoe camping is you get to take EVERYTHING....(we had Champagne our first night on the Yukon). Alaska and the Yukon Territory are places one leaves a bit of their heart. -Veteran '66-68

Solo on the Yukon and Solo on the Yukon Again by Helen Broomell.

Just imagine living out there on the land for 2 years alone. Daniel Boone lived in Kentucky alone for 2 years with the natives trying to get him. They thought he was a god. Daniel Boone died at the age of 86. Love the videos Jim. Thanks.

Indeed! And it made sense to me as this is my third big trip to the Yukon “and I want to go back, and I will”
@@JimBairdAdventurer I have one more episode to go, seen you get a bit of the gold fever after you found that nugget. I wouldn't of been able to leave haha
Great river ride. You never disappoint ! Total Adventures.. Happy New Year my friend hope you got a new trip planned
Thanks a lot and I do have something in the works
Awesome trip, thanks for sharing it! Back in the late 70's, my wife and I put our kayaks on a flatbed rail car in Skagway and put in at the train station on Lake Bennett in the Yukon. We then paddled out to camp on that little island way out in the middle....then to Carcross, Lake Tagish, Lake Marsh to the head of the Yukon River and down to Whitehorse. One of the advantages of Kayak or Canoe camping is you get to take EVERYTHING....(we had Champagne our first night on the Yukon). Alaska and the Yukon Territory are places one leaves a bit of their heart.
