14 Days Solo Camping in the Yukon Wilderness - The Full Documentary

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot for watching everyone! Please subscribe to my channel. I had a few requests to put this adventure out in a single, full-length documentary and that’s exactly what I’ve done here. There’s not much from the whole trip that I don’t share. Enjoy!

Will watch every minute of it! Thanks man, and a hello from Finland. You should come to our part of the world in Northern Europe sometime.

[@SchmutzieOutdoors]

Thanks for bringing us along for the trip Jim! Just what I needed while quarantined in Chicago.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot for watching and yes, I definitely should come there some time. Seems there are some similarities too between the landscape and climate and more.

At 72 years old with a pacemaker imbedded in my chest, I can only wish I had followed my day dream and did what you are doing. So, for now & forever I will live vicariously through you. I choose to watch you for hours on end, as it is the best view available to me today. Thanks Jimmy!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Well there’s certainly no harm in doing that! Thanks for the support and best wishes for your health.

Thank you Jim for this. My husband and I canoed many of the rivers in BC fifty years ago. I could smell and hear exactly what you did when we watched. Hubby is 77, had 4 strokes, brain surgery from a bleed and while doing ok, can't do much of anything physically except exist. Your calm, even pace and tone of voice (he's pretty hard of hearing) and natural reactions to the environment took him back and he loved going on your journey with you. He is a "mountain man" so to speak and so being stripped of all that matters is not the golden years. Thanks to folks like you on you-tube, you all have enhanced his late years in ways impossible a few years ago. And yours (vids) are the best. And I must say, it is a wonderful thing for wifey to be able to get things done knowing he is content and happy. Heartfelt thank you's to you!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Your comment is making it all worthwhile! Thanks so much for sharing that and for watching. Please tell your husband I say hi and tell him I say thank a lot for watching too. Have a great evening

[@70stunes71]

Jane,.. you're a good woman staying strong and By Your Man. Mine bailed on me right after I started having surgeries, so I've been battling on my own, 16 of the last 21 years. An Outdoorsman myself, I am challenged but still manage to do some things. It's all about inner strength, and mental power. Some days are tough, but I always tell myself they are not going to get easier either.

[@imonoke7903]

Of course you did

[@catalhuyuk7]

What a lovely thing to write. I just found this video and always read some of the comments first. Hope you and your husband are well.

[@judyschepp8748]

Wifey,😆🤗loved your comment and all that you shared. Good for you for sticking with your man through thick and thin, good times and bad. That's what love is about: STAYING!!! I also agree that Jim's videos are the best! Take care❤️💜💙

[@Renligion]

Jim, I had been struggling with certain decisions in my life, and a few weeks ago randomly (or not) came across this video. As a result of watching your journey I was given clarity about what direction I should take in my life, which has provided a much-needed boost to me in moving forward from some difficult circumstances. I don’t know what your spiritual beliefs are, but I feel like coming across your videos was an answer to my prayers. Thank you for being who you are and taking the time and putting in the the immense effort to inspire others. It’s not so much the “adventures” that makes you special, it’s your character. Thanks Jim. Jeff

[@lanes8237]

I just finished watching this. Took me several days. The most impressive thing about this is the author's attitude toward all of it. Hard working, easy going, no hero complex. Very nice to see this attitude in a semi-public figure.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks very much, I think that it is my love of nature that always feeds my passion and draws me back. It’s humbling and I think at times I could use a little more of that hero complex attitude as there is always so much more to learn and do that I sometimes feel like I don’t know much and have to remind myself that I have a lot of experience.

[@tonyupham2340]

This is hands down one of the best wilderness adventure videos of them all, epic scenery, professional camera work with excellent editing and Jim is such a compelling character, a must watch for anyone with a pulse.

"who's gonna watch a 4.5 hr youtube video?" Not I said the cat. By 11 minutes I'd more than had it with all the TV commercial style jumping from scene to scene as in being blinked off, coupled with the over the top excessive hype. What I did before commenting was click the dislike icon from from 489 to 490. I trust that answers the "who" question. Any other questions why I will avoid Jim Baird's amateur adolescent jumped up sh*t? Suggestion: Give the methamphetamines a rest Jimbo.

Thanks so much Jim. I really enjoyed your journey. I needed to get out of the city (Phoenix) for a while and you gave me a great 3 or 4 day adventure. I was in the Yukon, like Dawson, Skagway, Whitehorse and Eagle with my grandparents when I was about 12; fond memories. My Grandfather spent 2 years at Fort Egbert in the Army in Eagle on the Yukon for 2 years back about 1906 and it was the highlight of his life. Now I'm in my 60's. My sister had a youthful adventure at 19 in the Yukon, Kluane area I think, with experienced First Nation guides for a summer about 40 years ago. Wonderful experience. So, I'm looking for folks like you, having adventures in these areas...wishing I could go too, but know it's too late for me but I am grateful that folks like you go out there so I can see what it's like. You did a great job filming with all your gadgets (sorry you lost your camera but glad you recovered your canoe. Yikes! A close call!). You're a fun guy, and knowledgeable, and really courageous to be out remote for so long. I enjoyed every minute of your great videos. Nice job and thank you so much. Your son will be sooooo blessed to get to go camping and adventuring someday with you. Blessings, Dan

Hey Jim, just watched 11 days solo wilderness camping in the Arctic watershed again. You are one tough man while maintaining a positive attitude and that Jim Baird sense of humor. In my best days I didn’t have your grit. Hats off to you a true adventurer. Sometime it would make an interesting video to hear about you and Ted’s early years and what made you into a beast adventurer. Looking forward to more of your Yukon road trip with the family.

[@vladimirkiyashko3300]

Это лучшее видео о путешествии! Джим, позвольте выразить Вам свое восхищение Вашей отвагой, мужеством в преодолении трудностей, граничащих с риском для жизни. Далеко не каждый мужчина способен на такой поход в одиночку. Я прожил на севере Ямала, в Сибири 24 года, привелось выезжать в тайгу на рыбалку и охоту, но не в одиночку, вдвоем, и только на три-четыре дня. Как я теперь понимаю, эти мои "подвиги" - прогулки младшей группы детского сада по сравнению с Вашим испытанием.

Watched this last night all of it, very well done , your extra effort to record , edit and narrate was much appreciated . The trip was epic, as an older guy who has done some solo trips I can relate to the effort, personal concern with safety, on a solo trip. When people would ask me "was I scared" , or "why would I do it by myself" or the big one"what if something happens" my answer was because I can, and I enjoyed the challenge and not being responsible for others just my self. Life is good keep on trucking. Thanks Ron

Hi Jim- I have to say- your videos are AWESOME!!! 1st, your solo cinematography skills are incredible. Not only is it beautiful footage, but the multiple camera angles, etc is 1st class. I TOTALLY feel like I’m right there doing the adventure with you. I am taking a much tamer 14 day camping/canoe trip with my brother on the Susquehanna river in NY and PA in 1 month. I was researching canoe gear and accidentally found you and your channel- I am now subscribed. My excitement level for this upcoming trip is OFF THE CHARTS as I am binging your canoe vids. One last thing to sincerely commend you on- you attitude and positive outlook is totally infectious and refreshing. Congratulations on all of your successes!!

Your Canadian humility and humanity shine through loud and clear, as well. I’m a kayaker/tripper myself and your videos are just the perfect thing to watch on a snowy January night. Safe paddling.

Three types of fun. 1. Fun when you do it. 2. Not fun when you do it, but fun when you remember it. 3. Not fun when you do it, and not fun when your ember it. I’d say the swim and self rescue was the only type 3 fun.

You’re welcome!

Well - I just finished watching this video for the 2nd time and was thoroughly entertained throughout. An epic adventure, indeed ! At age 65, I no longer hope to take such an adventure but it sure is fun to experience the vast Canadian wilderness with you, Jim. Thumbs up and subscribed. Keep the faith and stay safe.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot and will do. Great to have you here and great yo can live vicariously through the vid. There are a some rivers in the Yukon that are far less demanding which you could still probably tackle

[@CoolClearFacts]

You spoke my thoughts perfectly. Thanks.

I'm para Used from the waist down. I use to be an avid outdoorsman but almost 10 years ago I became paralyzed and can't walk from MS . I'm living life thru ur eyes . Thank you !

This is incredible. I'm headed up to the Yukon this June and after watching this video, I feel so incredibly excited. (Also, a FOUR hour doc?! Someone give this man a Netflix show.)

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks 😊 and yes!! You should be excited for sure, you’ll love it! The north in general hooks a lot of people.

@@JimBairdAdventurer In 1963 I rode a motorbike from central California to the Yukon and in Whitehorse we went to the pub where they received their first TV broadcast. There was a big celebration & they now have the boob tube. If we would have had GoPros & KZbin then by now I would have millions of views & be a millionaire. Peace - out.

[@roelfiest3890]

Thanks Jim. This was a fantastic four hours. Made me remember a 4 hour trip I once took on some river in Colorado, but that was in a rubber raft, and it included a stop for a catered lunch. Different trip, but same memories.. thanks for sharing.

[@ToolsForMotivation]

This was one of the coolest things I've ever watched on KZbin. Thanks for sharing your incredible journey and awesome videos/shots! Very inspiring!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

My pleasure, thanks for watching and for the encouraging comment.

[@prudencecatita7477]

This is far better than normal tv or movies. The footage is great. Thanks for putting it together so beautiful. Experiencing God's beautiful creation through you footage is inspiring. Thank you

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

You’re very welcome and very glad to hear you’re enjoying it!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch and the amazing comment. Really glad you enjoyed it! I hope you enjoy my other videos too. You may like my Across Baffin Island series “man and his dog alone in the Arctic”

[@simonblunden2151]

This was INSANE. Enjoyed every minute of the adventure and felt like we were with you on the trip. The Yukon is an amazing place. Visited there a few years ago in November but would love to see it in the summer. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Nice, thanks a lot for watching.

[@imonoke7903]

Of course you did

[@janeconnors1807]

Wow! That was epic. What an amazing adventure and experience with nail biting episodes. It was interesting how your mishap really changed your perceptions and attitude to the river and understandably shook you up. Many thanks for sharing. Kept me riveted for a long time during this awful lockdown. Stay safe

[@berrypayton8156]

I did a 58 day journey down the Mississippi. You have motivated me to do more. Thank you for sharing, so much respect. I’ll be watching all your videos for idea

[@thrivewithgj]

Watched the whole vlog for 3 consecutive nights right after my duty in the hospital. Watching you conquer the river and had gone through some obstacles along the way and survived it, somehow makes me feel like ive done it myself. Thanks for bringing us all in your adventure. 🏕🛶👍😊

[@HalfPaceOutdoors]

when the only thing to be said is "Bravo!!!" this was AWESOME!!! Just saw the new video where you cut your hand... hope all is as well as can be. Being a cripple in the woods isnt easy but its doable! Ive lived with a spinal cord injury for 14 years and finally got back outdoors about 6 years ago running a trapline and camping. Great channel man!!!

[@charlesjohnson2378]

Very cool video. Great to see a true solo adventure. It took some serious guts to go out and do this, let alone create an entertaining documentary of the entire trip. Great job.

[@dyannejohnson6184]

At 4:10 I just realized after watching again …your amazing mind set to night paddle ….in your eyes….Jim that is such a hand in glove with northern wilderness survival

[@wilharrison8883]

In 1986 I bought a thrashed kayak for 100 bucks in whitehorse, borrowed a jigsaw from the seller, hacked a hole in the top for my backpack, went 1 month and just over 600 miles down the Yukon river. No cameras, no phone, no GPS..... Going back in two years when I retire to do a 1000 miles...... Fun city man

[@billshivelbine5279]

Man, way to go! Throughly enjoyed living this adventure through your eyes!

[@buckan8r999]

I'm only in this for an hour with FULL expectation to watch the entire thing and I am engrossed in this documentary. This is amazing. Beautiful shots, great video editing, a showing of the human element. Thank you Jim Baird for sharing this, I'm sure there was very much planning for this endeavor alone, but to document this for all to see? I'm incentivized to get out there and enjoy nature to its fullest. Kudo's to you sir. I can't wait to watch the remaining part of this very well done documentary. LIKED and SUBSCRIBED!

[@alainvosselman9960]

This video came recommended. Your presentation is very refreshing. Lot of videos out there where people are like : " I have MY sleeping bag and I have MY tent, MY campfire, MY mosquito screen, MY this, MY that".. You don't do that and it makes me appreciate your videos over many others i've seen. I'm an hour into it.. I'll be happy to watch the rest .. in parts. Thank you for sharing you adventure !
