[@JimBairdAdventurer]

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

[@nathanneuro6323]

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.

[@jasonmcclennan6443]

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 👍

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Haha, thanks a lot!!

[@brownpaperbag5343]

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.

[@bloodyeyeful]

Absolutely the best series in this genre on the tube. Thank you Mr. Baird. Your trip with Kory was very awesome as well.

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!~~~

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

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!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

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!

[@richevanscpa]

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!”

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.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Indeed, there harder to catch but they’re there, in the deep slow moving pools at wide bends

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

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 👊

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

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
