[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot for watching! Please let me know what your favourite part of this video is and dint offer to subscribe if you haven’t already. Have a great day!

[@smkandmrr]

Thank you for providing documentation of the fact that you can indeed take children of all ages on outdoor adventures. I started at that age in a canoe of the same build and color and this series definitely brings back some memories! Your big adventures have been inspiring me for decades now, but this brings it back to the roots of my addiction! Thanks. Looking forward to all the future holds for you and yours! ✌️

Has to be Huddy with his fishing rod saying “yeaaaaaaaah”

[@melonyrichards937]

Even though the actual canoe trip is most awesome always. I truly love it when you all find a campsite and we just get to see the family cheers dinner and having fun . You are such a beautiful family. It is just awesome to see you at the campsite having fun. Your children are beautiful. It was awesome when both children gave you a high five . Sometimes I just hate for it to end before you get back on the canoe because we just love the interaction with you and your children and family. Thank you for sharing your world. From a 60-year-old woman. It's just awesome because I know my father would have liked to do the same but couldn't so now I can watch yours. Not meaning nothing weird please hope you understand what I was trying to say. Lol. My father would have dreamed of doing such thing in other words. You are living the life that so many people would love to live and we get to see it through you. Thank you

[@mamabearadventurer]

Hudson with his paddle and fishing rod! That kid is going places for sure!

[@minkyfinger0883]

Thank you for being such good examples of family and how we should all get along.

[@altemple5322]

Huddy yelling "YEAAAAHHHH" is awesome

[@luluwan5212]

When Jim said: " good going Baird family ", and Huddy let's out a "Yayy,"and Wesley throws out a big grin and a high five, that's magic!

[@zinnia3684]

Buddy sounds just like his daddy. They’re so adorable. Awesome family.

[@elle45789]

Tori, you are my vote for mother of the year, along with young women's role model of the year. I am so impressed by you. Together you and Jim make a great couple and your children are beyond precious. May Jesus be with you all of your days!

[@m-bronte]

same, takes a strong woman to be with a man like Jim! 😉

I wonder if Jim realizes how lucky he is?

Indeed she’s an amazing mother and Jim is an amazing father ❤️

[@Booyahh77]

"did you open the crispers??" busted!! lol And I also concur with the comments about loving seeing Tori look so happy paddling the rapids with happy kiddos on either side of her. Most awesome mom ever!

[@wendypederson243]

Mama is a total badass! Canoeing with a baby in her lap! Baby with his paddle! his tiny pole and his little fist pump and saying Yeaaaah is too adorbs! Awesome little family.

[@zachdurrett1357]

Huddy already perfecting his yeeeaaahh! I love it!! You two are brave but more importantly awesome parents!

[@damee8363]

Love these videos. Wesley looks so happy and Huddy going Yeeeaaahhhh every time just kills me. Mini Jim

[@jamesphilbrook5567]

Just binged watched all of your shows, absolutely amazing, thanks

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Jim and Tori, the magnitude of the work involved in this adventure multiples with each episode I watch. Two young children and a young dog plus the normal challenges just continues to amaze me. I do so admire your determination to include your children for as Long as possible. My hat is off to you for sure. I admire your dedication.

[@shazart1111]

You took the words right outta my mouth, what an awesome family crew. 💖🛶🌊🌲🧒👶🐺💖

[@Julie-l7r]

Yes I agree with everything you said. ❤ lot's of love in that family 😊❤

[@nancyrauschenberg5562]

I love to watch your kids having a ball (or peacefully sleeping). As Wesley grows and his special needs evolve, know that there are resources out there for "adaptive canoeing" to either support and protect him like your basket does now, or help him hold a paddle or whatever fits him at different stages. Huddy is so much like his dad!

[@canaryyellowcanoe5893]

Hudson does the Baird yell with his voice & Wesley does the Baird yell with his smile - double adorable! Love the full family vids!

You guys are wonderful parents and your children are a blessing. I am someone you don’t know, and yet I have a lot of admiration and respect for your family.

[@davidmodeland429]

You guys are incredible parents, this is parenting done right. I loved Huddy's little Baird "Yeeaahhhh"

[@bettyhudson979]

Hats off to Jim and Tori’s parents. They raise some great children ‼️

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot

[@elaineoutdoors9581]

I have to say, I am amazed that you two are able to do this! That is a lot of work and you both make it look easy. You're both amazing parents!

[@markhardey]

As a parent of a special needs (2 rare chromosome disorders) child my favourite part of all of your family adventures is Wesley and the fact you still make these trips work with and for him. You guys bring me so much inspiration, such an amazing and loving example of what a family should be. Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

You’re very welcome and it’s amazing to hear that as we hoped we could help inspire other parents of kids with special needs.

[@MichaelUrminsky]

My favorite part of this was huddy letting out several “yays” with his fist raised in the front of the canoe - classic Baird move! You and Torri are an inspiration to take your kids in a trip like this.

[@tWoforgamenot1]

a little Jim :)

[@shaungallagher9025]

Tori and Jim, my wife and I just watched this three parts of this series so far and my goodness we tip our hat to you. The way you involve the kids and make this a family trip and having fun is next level. Can't wait to see more of your adventures, thank you. Cheers Shaun

[@montybarbee8128]

Isn’t it so beautiful that once your on the water, all the trivals of the morning/day just fade away…..? Awwwwwww !

[@radio_voice_royce]

6:20 when you say "we're getting better and better at this"! That's my wife and I every time we get in the canoe when we said we were going to! Thanks for keeping our spirits up during the long Canuck winter.

[@davkumi]

I would add my favorite part is seeing your little one fish and paddle. You are raising tripping partners for many years to come!

[@lpschick7237]

Huddy & his little fishing pole!!! Oh my gosh adorable. Jim no denying he is your mini me. Wesley has grown so much. ❤. Thanks for another great video guys!!

[@kristingrounds4163]

This is a fun trip to watch and I loved it when Huddy yelled out "yaaaaa" like his dad and uncle Ted so cute!!!

[@Evan_Le5]

Holy jeez seeing those two little guys enjoying it out in the rain is heart warming

[@aepage3165]

Thanks Jim, for sharing the adventure, and sharing our heritage with everyone. The spirit of adventure lives on

[@tWoforgamenot1]

yes so cool . my people here 200 years :)

[@margaretcopeland1055]

SO inspiring. Everybody goes along. Wonderful!

[@larrygorst8749]

Huddy giving the face wipe, and sleeping in the rain, and making like he was eating mud. Split a gut, let me tell you. End then to be able to enjoy each other's company after a hard day, sharing a jug around the fire. Makes my day. Thanks for sharing.

[@jannie690]

Little Hudson fishing and yelling “yeah” - just priceless. You are such a good team I also think of the voyageurs when in the North

[@CarnivoreStork]

I have to say when Huddy was trying to fish & trying to paddle cracked me up! 😃 Then when he was doing the ‘rebel yell’ I lost it. 🥳

[@davemayers9342]

Some of the very best times I ever have on the internet, is spent watching the Baird family live their lives. Truly wonderful times spent in your company, Yeeeaaahhh !!! Bairds ❤💯

[@wanderingstar1111]

Hey Jim! Really enjoying this series. It is sooooo freaking cute when Hudson says, "yeaaaaahhhhh!!!" just like his dad!! I absolutely love the way you & Tori are raising your boys. I know it's a huge challenge having them out there but they are going to have so much appreciation for nature as well as I'm sure it very much helps Wesley's development (Hudson too!). You guys are an inspiration!! 💜

[@elizabethdean9409]

I love this couple they are fearless and Tori is the definition of a REAL WOMAN they’re an AWESOME COUPLE 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot for the great and encouraging comment. We’re glad you liked the video!! 👍

[@randychenoweth3874]

Watching you and Ted figure out your survival skills is really cool, but your best videos are with you and the family. You are in the process of making some of the best memories ever. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

[@karenschantz649]

Wow! Just loved this video. Love your family. And am completely inspired by you guys. I parented a child with disabilities and I really appreciate seeing outdoor adventures can still be done at this level. Well done Baird family. I love all your adventures! What an inspiration.

[@waisanchan5850]

Thank you for sharing your family trip with us. Enjoyed every part of the vlog. Huddy fishing and paddling with is miniature fishing rod and paddle and saying yeaaahhh were so amusing. And Wesley smiling and doing high five were so heart warming. I really respect Jim and Tori for what they did. The challenges multiply when they bring along the kids on the trip. I am amazed seeing Tori paddling the canoe with Huddy sleeping in her lap, and Jim taking on tasks on his own and yet giving due respect to Tori who has the more difficult task handling the kids. Also, both of them are so calm and patient with Huddy and Wesley. The love and close bond of this family is the reason why I am an ardent subscriber.

[@kathybrown6842]

The best part of this video to me is the look of joy on Toris face when u were going thru the soft rapids. You can definitely tell how much she misses being out in the wild. She is a strong n great mother. Wish you guys the best for this new year.

[@anthonyoliver6023]

You two are freaking awesome parents! Love your videos I think I’ve seen all of them!

So much fun! What a great family trip! Killing it!

[@judyrobinson9556]

You guys are beyond brave doing this adventure with small children. Your experience shows as you handle the challenges well. Lots of history paddling where the voyageurs once did. My favorite part is when you set up camp and cook, but loved the whole video. There's nothing like being on the water and enjoying the scenery and wildlife. It's nice to watch Huddy and Wesley and how well they do. This trip is epic. Thanks for bringing us along!

Don’t know why I haven’t seen this series of vids before but they are outstanding! You and Tori crushed it!! I’ve got 5000 plus canoe miles under my belt but not with two kids and a dog in tow. LOVED the content but most of all the mini fishing rod and paddle your youngest was working with. Outstanding. Keep on rocking in the free world.

[@adventuresofafirestarter3718]

You guys are amazing parents and should be very proud.

So much effort, but the memories are beyond description. Great adventure 👍And I believe Huddy has nailed down Jim's "YAAAH" 🤣

Kudo's to you and Tori, it has been a few decades since my kido's were as young as yours and it was always and adventure just to load them in the car and go to the store, and your doing days in a canoe down the river. GREATEST PARENTS EVER.......

Looks like a lot of work, but definitely worth it! I love the family videos, thanks Baird family!!!

This has been one of my favorite video series of your to watch! Seeing the boys grow up (Baird baby boy adventurers) has been so fun! Hudson is a mini Jim and Wesley seems to be growing so fast! I love that they both seem so comfortable in a canoe or at a campsite! I can imagine there were some difficult logistics that we did NOT see, but I hope you continue to post videos like these! They are heartwarming and inspiring for anyone with children with disabilities!

Thank you both for sharing your adventures with us.

Tori, I am amazed by how much work you do without complaining. You have your hands full and somehow get everything done that needs done, even with a special needs son! I know that Jim helps out too and does what he can to lighten your load, but woman you can do it all! Jim, I love your video's always, but when you go with your whole family, man that is special and entertaining and makes for excellent content! Music choices for your videos are almost always spot on! Happy New Years 2023 to the Baird family!
