Beyond the Height-of-Land E.20 - BABY SEALS & ICE CANYON | 25 Days in the Northern Manitoba Wild

#JimBairdAdventurer #Outdoors #FlyinFishing
Beyond the Height-of-Land E.20 - ICE CANYON & Baby Seals | 25 Days in the Northern Manitoba Wild: Arctic Grayling fishing at our campsite in the morning was good. Soon we soloed rapids in the wilderness, a class 3-4 and soon after ran an epic ice canyon. We then found ourselves on a small island surrounded by seals and baby seals. They don't call it the Seal River for nothing!

My favourite part was Ted in the morning. haha

[@marianfrances4959]

Best part is the location, the river, the excellent videography! Canadian, eh?

[@obozomustgo5449]

Hey Jim! Ted confessed to me in his video post comments that the bugs weren't real. They're just CGI bugs inserted into the video for effect. HAHAHA!! Great episode.

[@chrisblack8390]

Seal on the rock, the ice canyon and I got a kick out of Ted an the antler. Were you jealous that Ted found the antler? Thanks that was a great video! Scariest river ever!

[@GorskiNunavut]

Flying seals and swimming eagel 😆

[@sipperer]

I know you guys might not agree but I wish this trip had two more weeks to go instead of four days. This stuff is addicting.

man...the rapids, the ice walls, seals, antlers, the music...so many cool things in these episodes man!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot! Ya, I think so too. By the way, I believe that ice is exposed permafrost so, it’s thousands of years old.

Those seals are SO cute ❤

Greetings brothers,It's actually great to see real blood brothers doing this sort of thing together, Canada we don't see this very often,God bless you and your families and I was happy to see that you have a real rifle,I know very well what these gun haters are like,they would much rather see you guys go camping with out protection,you know they are called,'' Da asshole!'' I know what one bear can do to a man in seconds,I would never go in the woods without protection against a bear and a asshole who hates guns,GUNS ARE AWESOME! I love your videos,its wonderful and exciting entertainment.

Jim, I have been watching this adventure on my smart TV so haven't been liking and commenting. I have done a lot of back country canoeing but what you and Ted do on this trip is really special. I look forward to every episode, to see country I will likely never see in person, and to enjoy how honest and forthright you are about the hardships and joy a trip like this can bring. For all of us, please, keep adventuring!!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

I will, thanks a lot for watching and for the great comment too. It was an amazing trip! I’m getting out on a long and remote trip again this year but it’s not going to be as long as this one, 25 days not counting travel. I hope to get out on more long ones like this in the coming years.
