@@JimBairdAdventurer mine was when you flipped.. Cause then guys were chickens you always had to go first b4 they would go lol They know what not to do or what to do watching you.

[@thesiluresscribe567]

The best bits for me were to see how excited you get when running the white water rapids. You so love it and it's inspiring to see. I like it when you sing your songs too 🙂

[@ADowneyBear9]

It's been amazing watching this trip through the eyes of multiple channels and different perspectives. Seems like the trip of a lifetime and its been great to see how you all capture it slightly differently. Looking forward to watching this second part.

[@maryfields1111]

Totally agree!

Been watching them all it’s been good

[@Judy-fi7ce]

Oh my gosh what a fantastic video!! Watching you guys maneuver those rapids! You are all experts! So exciting to watch. Beautiful falls and water channels lined by dense woods. All the different ways you all managed those waterways, it was just fascinating to watch. The Dog River is quite the challenge. Superior coming up. Nothing to mess with. Greetings from Wisconsin. Absolutely love your videos.

[@starbright47]

Hiya Jim, My Nerves yeah! This so exciting & scary just great & filming as usual exceptional❣️

[@CityAdvenTours]

@JimBairdAdventurer You guys are bad ass going down that river. This was another awesome video. Thank you for sharing with us and please be safe out there - from NYC, CityAdvenTours

[@lizcaporicci8483]

What an amazing adventure, Jim. With so many elements of danger..But, as you always say, "we nailed it." Great job, guys.

[@YFZMoto]

What an Amazing Video Jim loved this trip, All I can do is live your Adventure right now I blew out My Knee 7 weeks ago and get Surgery in 5 Days I can't wait to heal so I can get back out in the woods. Thanks again for such a Fun Video.

[@MrJamesdCarter]

Your video of the journey down the Dog River is awesome! It's a River that my daughter wanted to try but she couldn't find anyone to go with her.

[@deborahparnell8862]

My favorite part was that y'all didn't die..ty..xoxo..blessings to y'all in every way ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

As always a blast to watch! Thanks for all your work filming so we can come along 👍 ❤

[@davidkroft9955]

The shot of you portaging the canoe with Dennison Falls in the background was my favourite part! What an awesome adventure!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot and I gotta say, that was my favourite part too. More so when I put the canoe down to take in the view than when carrying it though haha. Have a good one 👍

[@Vickyscampingobsession]

OMG that opening oatmeal scene had me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails!!!!😱😱😱😂

Another great video, Jim! You make the best adventure videos as far as I'm concerned.

I really enjoy watching your videos especially when you’re with your friends. Your music is great too.

[@drock5298]

Those 2 guys in the one canoe make a great team.

[@canoeman1961]

You're a funny dude. That's why I enjoy your trips, apart from the great scenery you so excellently record. Your in-field narration is superb, almost like it was prewritten, which of course it isn't. Thanks for your dedication to great adventures and sharing them with us all.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot for the great comment. I post some video clips to Instagram and recently, I posted a shot one of me is making some sort of numerous remark. It got like 5 million views when I usually get like five thousand. Maybe I should lean into that a little more.

[@williamleopold507]

Amazing trip , we enjoyed watching . Thanks for sharing .

[@thylacine123]

Jim! Amazing video and trip as always. You guys are the real deal. Let me guide you and this crew down the Juruena River in Brasil. I can provide proof I spent a month paddling it with NOLS in 2011. Stunningly beautiful with incredible biodiversity and landforms. Up to class 6 endless whitewater, with incredible complexity and diversity along a relatively short run. Due to the geology of its watershed the water is crystal clear, allowing aquatic life to be seen with the naked eye in 30 feet of water. The footage you could get there would make Nat Geo jealous, and do a service to documenting the area's grandeur to a wider audience. I'm not a bot, dead serious, can provide proofs of experience and credentials, and would do it for absolutely free.

[@jesseadams45]

Xander and the Brother's Baird, great video.

[@snoosebaum995]

you guys are world class

[@jcampbell100]

Thanks for the trip.

[@T3PinR]

Fantastic, JIM , one of your many great videos. .............I just want to hear Ted more. Guess I'll walk over to his channel, eh?

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Absolutely, in the past we’ve shared footage but we didn’t in our last couple trips. Too much to edit and the vids get to be potentially too similar.

[@bigskyab]

This is the best kind of videos...white water action...be nice to see you guys hit some stuff where everyone swims...tough stuff. More of an extreme video rather than a tripping video. LOVE THE TRIPPING VIDEOS...but you know...we like watching the bull riders over the bronc riders...

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Nice man, thanks a lot. Glad you liked it. Maybe if we weren’t in such a remote location we would have tried some more interesting stuff.

[@bigskyab]

@@JimBairdAdventurer if ya get the opportunity a long video of y'all getting crazy in regular canoes would be great. I've been pushing my boundaries because of seeing what you guys are doing...you've taught me a lot Jimbo

[@marcus266]

Your Adventure trips through the wilderness are for the ages, thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope to see you catch some fish in your next trip . The watercress and ferns would make a delicious complement.

[@BrokenPaddleAdventures]

Keep going man!! Awesome Oatmeal scenes as always and most excellent adventures!! Live the stories you want to tell is what I say. You rock it!

[@halinawiecek2297]

Jim awesome adventure love watching you that was awesome take care.

[@fredbavre]

One of your best videos yet and that's saying a lot

[@GettingToHeaven]

Your video is a great watch! Loved every minute of it!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Much appreciated!

[@bengunderson82]

Amazing

[@philbolton1300]

Jim bloody bonza mate totally enjoyed the footage well done!!.

[@nojnoj3069]

I can't imagine what those Baird brothers tent smells like..... I would imagine it's close to the smell people describe when they've had an encounter with a Samsquanch?.... I've been enjoying their videos for many years now and I have never seen them, or mention having a wash lol....

[@SonyaLargo]

😊❤

[@jmber27]

Outstanding footage 👏

[@brianadventures9622]

Wow! I almost didnt make it past that riveting oatmeal scene!

[@alanmctavish3628]

This is starting to look like a wilderness fashion show!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

lol, thanks…is it the sweater vest? I forgot my sweater so I asked Naturally superior adventurers (the outfitter who gave us a shuttle to the put-in) if they had one. They had that vest lying around that someone left behind years ago so I grabbed it.

[@ADVENTUREKM]

Some great footage and great canoeing. Those slippery rocks are no joke to get ove either. Crack your skull or twist an ankle easy. Cheers guys!

[@flacat6437]

Loved every minute! The ending made me giggle like a little kid. 😂

[@TheNodontdoit]

The music coming in for your big brother moment here lol

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

I gotta get me one of those Pilsners on the DOG!!! #PetThatDog I also wanna volunteer to be your kayak video boater :P

[@whiteboi1856]

Looks like fun Jim 👍

[@nahanni2k]

You gotta love the low brace.

[@asun3630]

You should get Matt Graham on the podcast. He teaches primitive survival skills and hunting. Sustainable, lives off the land, and hunts with a homemade Atlatl. He was my favorite to watch besides your channel and Xander. He has done a bunch of shows on Discovery in the OG days like 15 years ago. You both would vibe well together. Plus he did Dual Survival, Dude You’re Screwed

[@HamsterLife_EnglishLearning]

Awesome video as always!! WAY TOO FUNNY At 40:04 with Ted ringing bells, his hat bobbling, facial expressions and sounds OMG too funny!!! Reminded me of a living scarecrow or the tin man. Thank god nobody was hurt. Someone would have probably been seriously hurt or dead if that had hit anyone coming down that fast with a point at the end of it. Shot happens, it all turned out pretty good considering.

[@Kurt_Outdoors]

Man this was really good!

[@gradbuckie]

Just so everyone out there is aware, especially people just getting into the sport of canoeing and back country travel, that although this crew disguises themselves in the cloak of "Can-knuckleheads"...what they are doing is advanced and shouldn't be attempted until your fully seasoned and certainly not recommended to do alone unless your well versed.

[@CarnivoreStork]

You guys are bad asses. The Green Berets & Seal Team have to catch up.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Well thanks a lot

Not sure about the frat rock stadium chant intros and why these became an everywhere thing but I forgive you because your people gave us Gord's Gold. Love the Canadian accents and nature feels though. Props to Farka sample as well.

[@AnOutsideGuy]

So sorry to see you eat all that pasta. Was hoping you would snag a few "TANKS". Love it when you call the fish kind wrong. My favourite parts are inching the boulders... and, of course your singing! You need to make a collection. We would buy it!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Haha, amazing, thanks a pro and the what kind of fish did I call wrong? Maybe you’re talking about Pickerel / Walleye?

[@AnOutsideGuy]

@@JimBairdAdventurer lol before you see it come out of the water. Sorry, should have clarified
