Tori Gets Injured on the Trail, Gros Morne Trek & Saying Bye to Newfoundland Eastbound Overland E12
Green Gardens trail at Gros Morne is a long downhill trail that meets a spectacular stretch of coastline. On this Canada outdoors survival trek, we'd enjoy off-grid life hiking with kids, beginning the trek after camping in our off-road teardrop overlanding trailer. Tori’s knee started hurting as it was still sore from the Gros Morne Mountain climb. We were well into the hike when the pain started and we considered turning back but Tori decided to tough it out and I carved her a walking stick. After passing a waterfall we made it to the coast and it was more spectacular than we’d expected. The walk back up was challenging physically but much easier on Tori’s knee. After the hike, we left Gros Morne and drove to Port Aux Basques where we spend a night in a campground before catching the ferry over to North Sidney Nova Scotia. Before our final drive home, we decided to drive the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island before the final drive home. What an adventure!

I was intrigued by how attentive Wesley was while you were narrating the close of this video, Huddy is such an actor he is always playing up to the camera. Thanks again.

[@rebeccahutcheson599]

I love the fact that you guys are serious adventurist and you take the babies with you. I can’t tell you what this means to me as a mother to watch you guys have these amazing adventures with these kids. And how awesome is it for the kids to grow up in this lifestyle. I loved what you said about coming back to the ocean and camping and then maybe going down when the tide is out. God is going to be some epic epic videos. So sorry to hear about Tori but at least you guys are taking care of it the right way pushing this any further could really damage that knee and halt all explorations Thank you for sharing 👊💖

[@kimberlyzamora4437]

What?? Just got the notification, and I'm here to get the story. Hope she is okay. ✌️ ❤️

[@KelJayP]

WOWWW is exactly right, Hudson!! Such a brave adventure taking on this journey with two babies! I appreciated every minute ~ thank you for posting this series!

[@damee8363]

This was such a great series. Epic scenery in our beautiful country. Thanks for taking us all along for the ride. Looking forward to the next adventure.

[@obozomustgo5449]

Hauling the rug rats has got to be like tripling any hike you take. Nice job, both of you!

[@luluwan5212]

I really had no idea that Newfoundland was so wild and rugged in the interior. I always associate the province with the sea, which is unfair to the rest of its beauty.Thanks so much for taking us along.

[@Countrybananas]

Well it was settled from the sea right Newfoundlands interior is virtually uninhabited and barely touched by man throughout its history

[@natashad3837]

Just love Hudson every he said hi and West smile. Both kids are adorable. North is amazing. Thanks to Tori and Jim for sharing your adventures. I can't stop watching. 😅

[@normarobertson3909]

That was a great video! Those two little guys are troopers, battling through the wind and smiling from ear to ear. I am so happy you drove the Cabot Trail , it's so beautiful. I was born and brought up on Cape Breton Island, and any chance I have to go home and drive the trail , I do it. It gets more beautiful with each trip !! Tori, I hope your knee gets better soon. Thanks for taking us along on your journey 👍

[@BarbaraKerrOlladypaddlin]

i love how Wesley is such a happy chappie . He always has a big smile on his face when he is out on the trails and bush camps😁

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Indeed, I love that about him too. He loves being outside and the motion of walking on the trail as well as the campfire.

[@NorthernRetreat]

If you,re an outdoors person, Newfoundland and Labrador is an amazing playground never to be missed! Been there many memorable times, never disappoints. The people are amazing too!👍

[@adventureswithmyautisticbr773]

Wow This series was so enjoyable! it was as good as season 4 of Alone. I enjoyed how Wesley and Huddy were there for every adventure, it was cool to see Canada’s beautiful east coast, I was surprised how similar the bush was to northern Ontario. if i could take a trip anywhere someday, i think I'd do a trip just like this!!

[@lindavanaalst5634]

Get a good rest Tori. Hope you get well woon 🙏Amazing how you climbed the mountain with Wesley on Your back👍👍👍

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

Herrliche Wanderlust. Wunderbare Infografiken . Hallo Jungs. Die Kinder sind so glücklich.✌🏿♥️👍🏾👍🏼

Another amazing travelogue in the books. Your family is beautiful. The photography and landscapes were magnificent. Hopefully Tori’s injury heals with a bit of rest. ✌️❤️🥾

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot and she is doing much better now with no more pain

[@DoodsVsWoods]

I hope you get to feeling better, Tori! Great video as usual. The kids are so cute! Stay safe out there.❤

[@newfsareus]

I don't think that's what the Tourism Brochure had in mind when they say expose yourself to the east coast Jim LOL. so glad you enjoyed our province of NL. I enjoyed it right along with you guys. Come back there's plenty more to see.

[@Mike-iv3hy]

Totally upsets a Man, when his girl Is injured ! Mike.

Well done . Thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. Labrador is now on my bucket list. Thank-you to all four of you .

[@Barret-paddles]

Another one in the books and what a journey you all!! So many highlights captured can't possibly pick out a few favorites. The Baird family just rocks it!! Thank you 🧡

[@michaeldusso6882]

INCREDIBLE COASTAL VIEWS !!! ….and, in the last vid, I mentioned what a trooper Tori is, this compounds my sentiment, WHAT-A-GAL, WHAT-A-GAL, WHAT-A-GAL. Great work guys.

[@theodoredicks3305]

What a great trip with your family. Couldn't ask for a better place to go camping, hiking, and sightseeing. One of your great adventures, and I watched them all. Great video, of course.

[@phyllisross2811]

You are a beautiful happy family Camping is amazing you keep each other together From Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🍁

[@ChrisBooBoo]

Hope Tori’s knee is feeling better. Knee injuries are hard to heal. What a fantastic trip this has been. So wonderful you have it all filmed so the kids can look back at it. Can’t wait for your next adventure.

[@georgeblanks5616]

I'm always sad when a series ends, but I did smile whe I saw that bright sunny day with the full moon🫣.

[@tomdies7451]

Tori, you are a trooper!!

[@leviwilliams4090]

Just beautiful !

[@lovegodlovefreedom2535]

Absolutely gorgeous views in far eastern Canada!

[@ckalnicki]

Very cool video! Tori is a trooper! You all are! Great job.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Big thanks and ya, she really is. I tried to talk her into heading back but it’s not an easy task to get her to give up, even for a good reason. It turned out to be a pretty epic place there in the coast for sure.

[@TLAR24]

Lol, I wasn’t recording…. Tori, stop it! That was great. ❤️🇨🇦

[@rosemountfarms2897]

The Cabot Trail was our best day It’s gorgeous

[@lewisvillalta2492]

great series Jim & Tory

[@ellenderee350]

Thanks for this amazing series of video’s, truly loved following Tory, yourself and your family. ❤

[@marianfrances4959]

Hello beautiful family! I want to share, I used (wore out 2 of them!) a bike chariot as an "ATV" for my non-ambulatory child. It was good on many trails, behind a bike OR pushing during a hike. They are all weather and at this point both kids...and some gear... could fit in it. My knees wanted me to tell you about that...LOVE you guys.👍😎🇨🇦💘📷🥸

[@dyannejohnson6184]

Yes watched as soon as I got notification! Tori, I have no left knee….can’t operate …so, I groaned with you…BUT you got grit girl…admire you!

[@m-bronte]

Thanks for taking us along! I really enjoyed the history lesson as well. Before you posted this series, a relative of mine did our DNA lineage on my moms side. I found out that I have pyrenees atlantiques "Basque" lineage, I was a bit surprised. I wondered how that line got to Canada, I guess I now know! So your history on the Basque whalers really put it in place for me, thanks Jim!

[@ssfoste]

Jim you are one of the toughest SOB I have seen in your adventures and god bless Buck you partner. But the one person I know is tougher than you is Tori!

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

That was superb. Thank you guys for posting this.

[@jfmezei]

Still wish to complain about North not getting enough of a starring role in your epic journey !!!! You were lucky to experience Grow Morne off season where you were all alone and with wildlife. You may not have seen it, but heading north from Port aux Basques, there is a sign warning about winds. West coast is kown for high winds.

[@sandramatthews3382]

Beautiful sights.

[@dianerobillard1044]

Awesome scenery! Hope both of you have recovered from your adventure. Great series.

[@juliereid-zk7kq]

what wonderful parents you are to your boys from Australia just love watching your adventure s..

[@bobtucker8875]

You guys are so lucky to be able to get out there and enjoy the sites with the boys. Simply enjoy your content an many thanks for sharing your time with us all. The whole trip has been so amazing. Till next time.

[@brianburnett7963]

I knew that the eastern part of Canada was beautiful but my wife and I never had a chance to go there so this series was great to watch. When we lived up in Inuvik NWT back in the 80s and I was working for the phone company, I had to fly in by small aircraft to a few communities. I really enjoyed the small planes because you could get a much better view of the terrain since they flew lower than the big jets. It was neat you were able to fly in for the moose hunt, as well as all the other times you had to fly in to some lake. I was only in a float plane once and that was a Twin Otter that can seat about 22, much larger than a Beaver or other small plane. It was quite the experience, and when we landed off shore at Tuktoyaktuk, it felt like I was plopping myself down in a big easy chair! It's also cool that you can share such great adventures with the family. It is evident that you and Tori have such an appreciation for the natural handiwork that our Creator provided for the enjoyment of all mankind. A lot of people would complain about being in the middle of no-where and that there is nothing to do because they only think in terms of what the commercial and entertainment sectors of the world of mankind can provide. How much better the world would be if the human race had the spiritual appreciation needed to enjoy the beauty of creation along with the realization that we can't continue to damage the planet and its inhabitants to satisfy the greed of a relatively few. Your adventures and videos hopefully help as many as possible to get the point. 🙂

[@tWoforgamenot1]

coolllll :)

[@1stcavw247]

Astonishing! Amazing filming! Good times!

[@suezaple4950]

[@michaelbroyer3918]

Bravo to you Jim, Tori, Wesley and Hudson. I started watching your videos in 2020 during the covid shit storm. Never been disappointed, but this family adventure is top shelf. Thank you for all of your hard work. Keep Exploring!!

[@cliffordwright342]

Really enjoyed this series Jim. About three years ago I did the same trip and you brought back some great memories. Thank you

[@jaybee608]

Get mended Tori. 👍👍✌️

[@redriverbluesman]

Visited Gros Morne Nat Park back in 2009 on our first motorcycle camping trip, all the way from Manitoba. What a magical place, Western Brook Pond/fjord was very surreal. Rode the Cabot Trail on that trip counterclockwise hosted by a wonderful group of about 12 bikers we met from the area. Have gone back and have now ridden in both directions, taking advantage of different views. Trips of a lifetime! Enjoyed watching your visit and traveling vicariously with you guys. We met the nicest and most generous people on each of our east coast trips. Maritimers rock!!

[@thedriftingspore]

Really great series Jim, thank you for sharing the adventure.

[@ianferrier235]

Very nice guys, thanks for sharing your trip.

[@darrendavidsonoutdoors]

Another awesome video. I've been on that Cabot Trail once in my life but it was in my younger days on a family vacation. We were told; don't do it on a cloudy day cause you'll be stuck in the clouds. So the only day we had available was a cloudy day and the top portion was all in the clouds. Guess I'll have to go back and see it again one day.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Aww rats. Ya it was like that for the coastal drive portion of the trans Labrador highway as well.

[@cindydfrankland9955]

Really enjoyed your videos

[@nancymckenna3828]

Thanks so much for sharing! Made us want to be there with you guys! 😊😊

[@larsandersson4394]

Thanks Bairds!

[@barbmorgenroth9365]

Absolutely another spectacular adventure series you and your family have shared with us, Jim and Tori!! Loved the scenery and your wildlife encounters, especially the moose hunt. Its great the kiddos are getting to go on adventures at their young ages. North is quite the adventurous pup too. Hope Tori is doing well by now. Taping those knees helps too. Thanks bunches and stay safe Baird family.

[@JeffWinter1]

Been to NFLD almost a half a dozen times, and the best time to go is after Labour Day when Autumn is grand and the tourists have left. Good series.

[@RobinLauer]

Sad to see the series over, I really enjoyed tagging along with your family. I’m planning on doing the same trip this June with my new Silverado and older Pop up truck camper solo. Thanks for your efforts, much appreciated.
