First Time at Our New Off-Grid, Water Access Wilderness Cabin! Summer Fun, Setting Up & Fishing
Come along with me and my family as we dive headfirst into the wild unknown of our new off-grid water access cabin tucked away in the stunning Canadian wilderness. It was a real adventure getting there, cruising through the waters on a long boat ride to finally unlock the door to our rustic paradise. We spent our days basking in the summer heat, swimming, setting up our dock, and exploring the rugged beauty that surrounded us.
One highlight was stumbling upon a hidden waterfall and sharing a special moment teaching my son how to clean fish by the crackling campfire. The fish fry that followed was a feast for the ages under the twinkling night sky. Of course, Mother Nature had her say too, keeping us grounded the next day with strong winds and rough waves. But that just set the stage for our next escapade - a canoe adventure to uncover the secrets of the backcountry lakes. Stay tuned for more tales of our wild family escapades at our off-grid retreat!

It also needs a foot valve at the end of the pipe in the lake

[@Gratandinorr]

I like Huds "What are you doing Dad? Hello from north. Skandinavien

[@freywayne6574]

You might want to add a foot valve on the water supply line so it holds a prime, which you have to do with the hand pump. You know these things whn you grew up without the modern conveniences. we had a big copper kettle in our attic to supply the toilet water and hand sink in the bathroom. Love your new cottage..

[@dennisoverholts8396]

Prime the pump

[@darenroth7390]

love all your videos What I love most is how great parents you both are that goes above and beyond everything.The places u go are epic and love the new cabin Best of luck with it

[@borderprepper]

The pitcher pump at the sink needs to be primed with a bunch of water poured down it to create a suction.

[@thebrownthomascrown917]

exactly right...old school

[@angrybird9925]

If there's a worki g foot valve

[@user-gg2os7jd7w]

Needs a foot / check valve at far end of supply pipe, it holds the water in the pipe, so after it fills....water pumps almost first pump...

[@riverrockranger812]

The foot valve is probably around there somewhere. Ole dad jim will figure it out lol

[@ldg2655]

I was just coming on to say that..

[@kevinfraser6302]

I don’t comment much on KZbin, but it’s great to see good things happen to good people. Congratulations

[@julienvelvet]

Well said!

[@bettyhudson979]

Wesley sitting up by himself. Wesley playing games with the family. Wesley’s beautiful interaction with Hudson. Displaying that bond between Hudson and himself.Hudson catching his first fish. Hudson helping clean the fish and Hudson carrying logs like a big boy was the best part of this video. I wish all children could experience the good life that your boys are living. 🎩 👒 off to you Jim and Tori for great parenting 🤗

[@victoriag1049]

my favorite thing in the video, is the equal partnership with you and Tori and the strong family bond that all of you have. And it was nice seeing Tori catch the biggest fish!

[@theroadnottaken9378]

Awsome place you have Jim and Tory, I'm sure this is the beginning where great lifelong memories will take place for you and the kiddos.

[@dannyplummer8187]

Both of you are wonderful parents, the kids just adore you both, the love for them is evident.

[@evanderbyshire3193]

Hudson is going to be a hard worker! He always wants to help and is so interested in learning. So cool

[@elizabethmunroe3676]

"Whatcha doing, Dad?" over and over again from Huddy is one of my favorites. I was especially impressed when he picked up one end of the the canoe to bring it ashore. Some useful skills there. Loved Tori's grin when she was outfishing you! I thought this cabin would just be another set of chores for your busy family, but absolutely loved seeing all of you able to relax and enjoy your time there.

[@judyschepp8748]

WELL SAID🎉🎉🎉❤😊

[@joanskinner3657]

Huddy 😂😅what you doing daddy

[@robertwoodland7108]

Jim and Tory, this video makes us smile so much. Fifty years ago we bought a rustic log cabin on 40 acres of western upper peninsula wild land. It was a spur of the moment decision. We had snowshoed through five feet of snow to look at the camp. My wife was pregnant with our first child at the time but didn’t know it. We have many fond memories of our times there. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy your camp as your kids grow.

[@melonyrichards937]

Well I would say my favorite part was just seeing the smile on everyone's faces and having a good time. The kids are getting so big and huddy is so helpful. He's such a little gentleman. I can tell there will be many more fun times had and lots more memories made. So very happy for you all. And Tori excellent job on the fishing.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Well thanks very much for that and for taking the time to tune in too! Tori crushed it on the fishing! I know there will indeed be many more times. I can’t wait for them.

[@zinnia3684]

I’m so happy for your family that you have this wonderful little camp in the bush to enjoy with your family for years to come. Praise God. May you always be blessed. 🙏

[@SJC49]

Wonderful to see Wesley so active and happy!😍🇨🇦

[@denisecrene8055]

I throughly enjoyed this video. Hudson is so delightful he's a sponge and loves impressing you both. Wes is a lovely person. He's really enjoying the interaction with you all. I'm so glad he has a loving family. ❤

[@aleksosis8347]

What a beautiful moment to share with the world!

[@rhondaxl]

I watch and love all of your videos, but there is something so special about this one. Both of the children look so happy to be there. Thank you for sharing your family adventures and memories with us.

[@dyannejohnson6184]

This was a pleasure…thank you for inviting us along..

[@joycebailey1211]

Huddy 👏🏿 is the Man... so Adventrous, i can see him on "ALONE" in 20 yrs. When he said thats dirty & threw the bucket out, oh my 🤣🤣🤣 & caught his 1st Fish. Oh oh "go back to new house" He Stole the Show.. Big Boy Wes is Chilling w his Beautiful Hair. Extraordinary Children. Just ❤❤❤ watching the kids. TORI you cool, Jim you alright. Great Family.

[@jasonborn867]

Jim! This video was a complete gem from start to finish. What a family treasure and just imagine the memories that await. You both earned it!! Huge congrats on the new property and can't wait to see more cabin content. WELL DONE!!!

[@algonquinbriar5647]

Hello to the Baird family. Congratulations on arriving at your off grid camp. I wish you many family memories. Stay safe.

[@juliettegolf1]

That was a delight to watch! Love the new place and the obvious joy it’s brought you and your beautiful family.

[@richiehamilton4581]

Wesley is impressive. Hes really getting into it. Showing off. Thank God for Wesley and Yall.

[@robertwoodland7108]

When our son was six months old, we traveled the five hours to the camp in our Bronco. He was in a card board box between our seats. During that trip we decided to return to camp via a rude trail from the nearest town which was twenty miles away. It was June, black fly season. The trail was through swamp. Five miles in we encountered a beaver flooding. It was a hundred yards to the other side. I locked in the 4WD and crept forward. The water was above the floor boards. Somehow we climbed out of the flooding with the water flushing from the vehicle. Had we not, it would have been a bug bitten several mile hike to the camp. Good memories. Carry on.

[@robertwoodland7108]

I would like to share a photo of our camp but cannot figure out how to do it. Have fun.

[@freywayne6574]

Hudson is quite the helper, Wesley seems to like the cottage a lot too.

[@BonnieMullin-bv9ym]

It was nice to see the whole family fishing and having fun together.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks very much :)

[@johnheaney6383]

Congratulations Jim! Showing the whole family just makes everything extra real.

[@Jeff-vt8kn]

Thank you for bringing us on your family getaway at your new cabin. It means a lot to me when you're alone.

[@mattphillips6578]

Hudson is honestly so smart and more advanced than almost all kids I have seen his age. It’s a testament to the way u guys live. Clearly is better for a kids development than the typical modern day life. Someone needs to do an in depth study on your family and the benefits long term for kids. Contact a top notch university to look into that.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks very much, it’s true that people don’t believe he’s only 2. He is learning more all the time too! I do think that all this stuff helps and that he is going to be capable.

[@tonya5171]

All I can say is - MOREEEEEE and congratulations!!

[@Blasting-off-54321]

Did you prime the pump by pouring buckets of water into it at the top of the hand pump?

[@kjames8299]

The lake the view the reflection and the peace.

[@johnhine8725]

Proof that great things happen to great people!!! You are setting great examples for your family and it’s so dang cool we get to come along.

[@CityAdvenTours]

@JimBairdAdventurer This was another awesome video to watch from start to finish!!! Little Huddy is such a character especially when he said, "You have to cook it first." Always appreciative of your content. God bless to you family.

[@maryq4546]

You made a great decision buying this camp. It’s just beautiful there and the kids absolutely love it. And your own little beach very cool place.

[@rockervocalistaz]

My fave videos are you and your family. Seeing Huddy and Wesley smile makes my day! Epic cottage adventures ahead! Waterfall so cool! YYYYEEEAAAAHHH!!!!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot!! The next video from this adventure is going to be great too.

[@sweettony9359]

Couple of recommendations. Get you 3 or 4 #40lb propane tanks to replace that big one. Carrying that thing around will get old quick. Another idea is set up a couple of rain barrels fed by a gutter from the roof. Then you can just stick a short piece of pipe from your hand pump right to the barrels. Easier than trying to prime 30 feet of pipe. Lastly, bring one of your small portable electric generators w/ solar panels and leave it there. Then string LED lights in the cabin. Propane lights are miserable to use when it's hot.

[@lyricalgypsy]

Thank you for opening my eyes to what buying an abandoned off-grid property might entail. Peace & Blessings to you and yours.

[@KAStodgell]

Pure joy for all of you! Great decision! What I liked best was the pure joy you all had.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thank you very much! I could not possibly feel better about it

[@NancyS-qx3ez]

That was absolutely awesome! Wonderful family time and making incredible memories!

[@suezaple4950]

[@dianajones7999]

[@gbthecamper458]

This is great for all the family. Enjoy your new camp and with time it will be exactly as you want it to be.

[@DimensionalHorse]

[@Diligent-dp7gi]

Wesley & Hudson are Precious Children : ) : )

[@susanhighfield8284]

Congratulations on your cabin! Your youngest is gonna be just like you, i bet. He's such a little helper already and doesn't seem to be afraid to try anything.

[@hayleycharles997]

I love watching your videos…. Beautiful family! ❤️Love being able to see the boys learning new things. It’s fun to hear Huddy talk and help with the chores🥰

[@garyweybright3227]

Wow ! you can just see the fun in everyone’s eyes! This is a great spot to have the kids and enjoy time together. Thanks for taking us along! ClaudiaSJI

[@herbsmith6871]

[@douggibson9084]

Beautiful place Guys. Hey Jim you need a foot valve to hold the water in the pipe. Then fill the pipe full from the kitchen sink. Watch that guy who sunk a well by hand, Mr. Dave Whipple. He's like Red Green. You know the saying 😅...

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Yes, no foot valve to be found but the base of the hose had threaded insert for one

[@denisetruax2765]

Lake Life is Amazing 🙌 All my favorite things with the Kids & Grandkids ☀️

[@johnnyb2677]

My favourite part was Huddy throwing the dirty bucket.

[@MY_OUTDOORS.]

Exceptional video, you're living what most of us dream of. Thanks for sharing.

You’re very welcome!

[@Thenomadicbrewer]

This is amazing! Love seeing the family just settling in, Hudson is lovin’ it.

Let’s go back soon! I literally feel the love … time with your family is my Joy too. Thank you💕

Love the location of this cabin. congratulations again you both deserve it❤

[@tomfranta5495]

Congratulations! I look forward to seeing more. The family memories this place will make are going to be priceless.

[@Neworldisordered]

Prime the pump?

[@susancarlin593]

Hudson you are the cutest!! Smartest!! Without a doubt the next great adventurer!! Baird family, you should be proud of that little guy. As always Wesley you have the most beautiful smile. You have challenges but you are overcoming. My degree is in physio therapy. Very impressed with Wesley and his progress. Wesley is who got me interested in your channel. Wesley has challenges but all challenges can be overcome. Or you just adapt. In any event it all works out. First video I watched you were traveling the Alaska Highway. Wes was a little guy. Been watching ever since. Tori you are one strong women. Jim you are man. The one true adventurer!!❤❤❤❤

[@janicehaduck6536]

So happy for you! Couldn't have happened to a nicer family! Your boys ate growing so fast! Enjoy your cabin!

[@teresamaxwell1715]

You have beautiful boys😊and Huddy is so smart, inquisitive, strong & loveable

[@jameskim62]

You need to prime the pump with water. Pour water into the pump and pump it at the same time.

[@janicehaduck6536]

I'm a little late finding you. What ever you paid, that has to be the best thing you did for your family.! I am very happy for you all!

[@randychenoweth3874]

Congratulations to you and your family on the purchase of a new life at the Cabin. I can't wait to see all of your new adventures and watch Hudson & Wesley growing up. Thank you for sharing. 🦈🦈🦈🦈

[@abbybraker659]

Hi, NO fail on water pump, have an airlock. Disconnect at lake edge, sinl hose into water and allow air to be replaced by water. Again at the cabin, fill hose with water by hand, let hose to burpe, again do the same for the pump. The pump should have a rubber washer, give it time to become resaturated with moisture....keep water in the pump at all times, hand fill pump.

[@TheOffGridExperience]

That waterfall fishing spot looks amazing!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot! Beautiful spot for sure.

[@mattphillips6578]

Love the family adventure videos. It’s amazing how u guys just keep pulling off amazing adventures even w young kids.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Much appreciated! Ya, it’s not easy, I’ll admit it. But it’s worth it.

[@jujube6650]

I love Wesley’s smile and Hudson catching a fish the most this episode. Also I love your new cabin and that stove looks really nice! I wish you many happy adventures there!

[@jaymeswheeler]

Omgoodness, I ADORE this video . Felt like I was right their sharing the fun family cabin times. Good job! I love the remote adventures you take, Jim, they are Epic, but these family videos are so very enjoyable, keep up the good work 😊🎉 Watching Huddy and Wesley thrive out in nature just makes my heart feel good.

Yes prime it, also if the grommets are needing changed, Get ahold of Dave Whipple he refurbishes them, It's beautiful there, hahaa you better cook it first😂 Thanks for taking Us all on your adventure

[@angrybird9925]

Looks awesome Jim and Tori!!!! Congrats!!!

[@cconstancemarie]

I agree with him you need to get some water in a bucket and prime the pump. Those old hand pumps need that when they haven’t been used in a while

[@waisanchan5850]

[@lorilove4706]

Wow, how fun! Really liked watching you guys catch fish, and Huddy's first how cute! Wesley was having a blast, good to see you all having a good time!

[@lauracurry9917]

Everything about this video made me smile!

[@ADVENTUREKM]

Hey Jim, next time you cook corn on the bbque try it with the husks on, just soak them in water first that prevent them from catching fire, 10-15 minutes they are usually done, time may vary. They steam in the husk, lots of flavour. Your way is good too cheers!

[@northcountryfishing3061]

Jim, I’ve pumped water from the lake my entire life, you need a check valve on the end of your line , I’d also recommend a cage and bag filter at that end to keep sediment, bugs and fish out of the line and your check valve. You’ll need to pour enough water in the pump to fill that line which can be a chore as the line wants to float. You sure have a good helper there with Hudson!

[@scottmaxwell403]

Wow! what family fun you will have for so many years enjoying that cabin!
