[@TennesseeHeadHunter]

Jim. I’ve been with you since the beginning. You are an interesting person and an awesome family man. It sucks that life dealt you an odd hand with your son’s condition BUT you guys accept it and soldier on. I really respect you and always ALWAYS look forward to your next adventure. Much love . Much respect. From Nashville Tennessee USA. PS. Your brother is cool too 🙂

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Much appreciated!

[@Hegumon.Fr.Athanasius]

Thanks to God, you have the adventurous spirit of Ed Hillary (I'm also a kiwi). Love your videos, great wife and awesome seeing your children enjoying this beautiful world.

[@cherylmeunier7461]

Love your garden haul. Your children amaze me every time I watch them. They just live to learn and enjoy nature. Soooooo cool.

Thanks so much

My wife and I love watching your adventures especially with your family it's so beautiful how you bring them all and you and your wife patiently take care of your kids in such a special and patient way may the most high God creator of all keep you all safe and blessed on your next missions Merry Christmas

Thank you, we really appreciate you watching and your kind words.

Huddys' decision-making skills are something else. I love it. He already knows what's best.

Look at this one dad! I miss my kids at this age. Gardening is still fun. Love this video.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@shmonsterman1356]

Another great video . Hudson subdued walk off "@ 23:00" after not splitting the log was hilarious in a most wholesome way . The whole family including North are always fun to watch . Thanks for sharing .

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jimanderson6016]

I could watch you and that precious little Huddy all day. Teaching him how to work, the greatest gift a father can give his son. What a bond you have. He is so lucky to have a daddy like you. I had a fantastic dad growing up and I give him credit for the man I am today. Huddy and Wesley are very lucky to have such amazing parents. What an awesome family you have. Makes me happy that you are making a good living sharing your life with all of us. Love seeing you get the cabin and some nice toys. Bravo Jim and thank you 🙏

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thank you so much! It means a lot.

[@cherylmeunier7461]

The smile on Wesleys' face holding the squash. Priceless

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Agreed!

[@esmekapea4298]

Huddys haircut is cutsy hi west ❤

[@Barret-paddles]

What a fun one! Thanks 😌 Huddy is going to be workhorse for sure, love how he pitches in even though at this age he might slow you down a bit 😉 Wes smiling away as always and taking it all in 💜 These videos will be so much fun to look back on as they grow up for you and Tori, the boys too…

[@wendypederson243]

Log splitter vs Axe. Crazy how smart Hudson is at 2 years old!

[@widows.son51]

Way to go Hudson true spirit of a up and coming woodsman getting stuck right in takes me back to the days as a kid , before all the mamby pamby world landed on us …….. On no you can’t do that lol, yeah right it’s the great outdoors you’ve got to learn by your mistakes , live for the moment .

[@mariannesouza8326]

How about living in a way that enables one to have MORE moments! You can enjoy the outdoors AND be safe; it’s not either/or.

[@widows.son51]

@ Boys tend to do things a little different, like being told not to climb up there you’ll fall off , but boys being boys we do it anyway. That’s why girls go through adolescence without visits to the Accident and Emergency / Emergency room .

[@JensenBrothersFarm]

Jim, love your videos. But as a mother, Hudson was freaking me out with no shoes climbing on the logs with a hatchet. Both do your boys are a joy to see in your videos. Loving the family time.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Well, it was a tad concerning as a farther too. Hudson was telling me to be carful as he was worried that the round piece of log he was chopping would fall off and hit me when he made it through.

[@marygordon3032]

Now that’s it Jim and Tori, love this one and thanks again for sharing! 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks, we love sharing it with you!

I can picture Huddy and his brother being youtube stars in the future just like y0u and your brother

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thank would be awesome, maybe they’ll take over the family business

I've been bin watching your videos for months now. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy them. And your boys are so adorable and such a joy to watch how they much they love the outdoors. Wish i could reach through the television and hug them. Wonderful family you two have. And what awesome memories they will forever have.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

[@Craigskitchen360]

Best video ever Jim! You and Huddy! Jim, can you buy a gas splitter for your house? I hate to see you hurt your back like I did last year and was out til now!😢 saves you time too

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot! I thought it was a great vid too but it wasn’t too popular with views compared to some others. That being said the people who did watch loved it. I like the exercise of splitting but working a gas splitter can be exercise too. We will see, in time we may get one however we have been splitting all our wood by hand for seven years and heat exclusively with wood.

[@cherylsibson2529]

That's a great harvest of Butternut Squash, you can BBQ them, make them into soups yum! Good choices Huds, you got this!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Nice, I’ve never tried BBQing then. I typically roast them and then scoop them out and mash it up, adding some maple syrup, cinnamon and butter.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thank you!! 😊

[@Booyahh77]

Man I so loved watching this while cooking up some salmon using Tori's recipe with the maple syrup and siracha. You are so right when you talked about just taking the time to get to know the land where there is no park map. Love the clips with the kids too. Huddy getting so pumped for the squash was awesome. And we can so relate when you got to the muddy spot at the beginning and made the call to turn around (with Huddy agreeing of course). We are now new SxS owners with our 4 year old and we have enjoyed exploring the land but have turned around when things got a bit too sketchy and we didn't want to be in the middle of no where stuck with the kiddo. I guess we all become a bit more wise as we become parents :)

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Absolutely, it’s why men’s car insurance goes down once they have a kid. Enjoy the salmon!! Ever tried candied salmon with maple syrup?

[@Booyahh77]

You should set up a splitting station with an old tire so you get multiple hits without having to pick up the pieces.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

I keep telling myself that too but I just never happens

[@mikecamrcplus3057]

I always used a half lid DOT approved so I could hear into the bush. Sometimes a dry fall would give away grouse running away from the vehicle thru the dry leaves. My earliest memories of hunting with my father had me in the truck bed listening for rustling leaves. Oh there's one over there. lol

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Haha, amazing…ya but when shoot, it’s not too loud for the old ear because the helmet blocs the sound when you’re heads turned a little sideways

Try growing yellow wax beans next year- as they age they don’t get anywhere near as tough and make for way better eating! I only grow yellow beans now over the green varieties.

Hi love your channel. Not to alarm you but we had friends that worked in a lumber yard.Their young son ran up the log pile and said look I’m a big boy.They told him to come down and he did but ran up again and something must have moved to set the logs rolling.He was crushed and passed.A freak accident but just to let you know it is possible.Love you guys

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks, but that is so devastating. I will consider that more. This log pile is not so big and it’s settled to an extent as the logs have seasoned for a full year.

[@cag2102]

wow, the target at the waters edge was an illustration of idiocy.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Haha, wouldn’t have been my first choice either but at the same time, theirs is the only camp in that small lake and that is the only trail into the lake so, there’s nothing behind it, no trails etc and they were shooting down at it in such an angle where the bullets are very unlikely to skip anyways. So, not as bad as it might look, but ya, not recommended.

[@fredjohnston7417]

Jim: Just a couple of hints for using your chain saw. With a properly cutting chain the only weight required for the saw to cut into the wood is the actual weight of the saw. No manual downward pressure should be required. Nothing will play you out more quickly that having to push on a dull saw to make it cut. If you have to push the saw it is time to get the file out. Also, the dogs (the 2 pointy things) on the saw end of the bar are there for a reason. They are used as a balance point to work the saw down through the log.....tipping the saw upward and downward as it cuts). Cutting on the far end of the bar on a log is a very tiresome way to cut. I have never used a bar longer than 20" and most of mine are 16". With the saw balanced on the dogs and with only the weight of the say required to make cut it is a much more enjoyable way to cut wood.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot for the intel my friend. Merry Christmas

Huddy needs protection for his little face from limbs. I love your videos, but Huddy on those logs making me a nervous wreck 😂. I know you all a great parents!

You need a Gransfors Bruk splitting Maul there the dog nuts, 12 years I’ve been using one , before that I was using junk like yourself broken shafts galore .

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks for the tip. I was using something similar not long ago and it was good. The one I had where the handle broke is a Chinese made knock off of this Chopper USA www.ebay.ca/itm/114792382887?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=706-89093-2056-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=114792382887&targetid=1657700490938&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1002451&poi=&campaignid=17285617092&mkgroupid=135567174886&rlsatarget=pla-1657700490938&abcId=9300872&merchantid=10252592&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD00iIDMl9XlDtc9GZvUTzhTWIRlj but as you can see, they are quite soendy, more so it seems than the Granfors Burk.

[@widows.son51]

@ yes I have one I did make a slight improvement to it and bought a replacement fibreglass handle and changed it over it works a treat , with less vibration through the handle . I did however buy a 27ton log splitter for home the splitting maul lays in my van along with my camp axe for my trips away both complimenting each other .

[@davidrobertson606]

Gun safety. If you are going to put it loose in back of vehicle do not point it at passengers. Lease land in the west is just liked owned land. Are rules different in Ontario. In Alberta a hunter shot an Elk on lease land and he found out he should not have.

Ya, they’re different on leased land in ontario. Also, totally agree with the muzzle direction which is what I do as well.

For the most part that’s true. You can see my words covering that here facebook.com/share/v/1BQCgwuiNr/?mibextid=wwXIfr

[@foryrs]

Ahaha😂. I don’t remember that specific scene but I did watch that video. I think I just unknowingly quoted you to you! Maybe I came up with that independently but I’m probably not that bright

[@emilyg2823]

Dude, I don't know, man.. I'm a pretty free range parent, kids in the woods doing it all, but sending a 2-3 year old up loose logs with a hatchet seems irresponsible... Then Chopping wood with your axe handle aimed directly at your toddler? I thought, wow he's never had an axe head fly off like we have, but then yours did! Jeez. My husband wont even chop wood if I'm standing straight out from the axe handle cause those things break intermittently or the wood shrinks and the axe head loosens and comes off. Anybody watching this, you can be a cool parent who lets your kids take on a lot of challenges without risking an axe head to their face or a severed toe to teach them independence. We've had axe heads loosen and come off and take massive chunks out of our concrete patio. Can't imagine what that would do to a person. I know I'm going to get demolished over this comment but I just couldn't handle this video. I've got 2 boys in the woods all the time that are strong and capable. But risking an axe head to the face is not cool in my book. Jim, I've got a lot of respect for you and I think you and Tori are incredible parents. I'm sorry if this comment pisses you off. Just maybe use a little more caution when it comes to high stakes stuff like axes and toddlers. I know we're all learning on the job here (parenting), but there's a lot to be said for weighing how high the stakes are before you let them figure it out themselves.
