Portaging Deep into Algonquin Park’s Interior for Native Trout Fishing & Camping

[@elledaniels3176]

Awesome. Please Ted, know how much you are missed and how great it was to see you, both of you together. Y'all became part of our lives during Alone!! Praying for you.

[@LindaSimic-qt3mh]

Just like old times Jim singing and joking and Jim and Ted back again doing what they do best just made my day hearing you singing you crack me up love you guys there is no other like you two the dream team love you guys take care thankyou so much we have been waiting for you two 😂❤

[@Barret-paddles]

So great to see both you and Ted again Jim!! Keep singing and thanks for another fun one 😊👊

[@1Rene9Night5cart0]

In the pre-digital past you could only see videos of pristine environments like this on National Geographic specials. Thank you so much, Mr. Baird, for your skills and beautiful videography.

[@shawndonohoe2789]

Imagine Shawn on "Alone". "You won Shawn, you can go home now". "But I like it here"

[@daintytech]

I can’t imagine what Shawn would build on Alone would be easy to tear down.

Day 2; Shawn is building an outdoor kitchen.

Mississippi River. I can tell by the pine trees. What? I'm wrong. I'm never wrong. Nice to see Ted and North out on an adventure again. Beautiful country there. Thanks Jim.

[@johnhine8725]

Nice video Big Jim! Like you say the best fishing takes hard work, and that sure was just that. I sure hope the fishing got even better for you guys. Have not seen that brother of yours in a while.

[@DerekSOutdoors]

Great to see the Baird Bros at it again. You gave so many clues it was easy to tell your exact route. I pulled out my copy of Jeff's map and followed along. It was fun to see you run into Derek S. along the way. I have been following him for a while now. Looking forward to the rest of the trip.

[@DerekSOutdoors]

I was surprised to see them! was so starstruck that I forgot to turn on my camera 😅not used to seeing celebrities in their natural environment.

Awesome route, that 1,700m portage ain’t no joke! You guys were actually just waking up when myself and friend paddled by you guys on the way out in the rain!

Haha, that was you guys? Shawn was like - they sure got an early start.

Hi guys, so great to see you together again. You guys, are so brave, and I do enjoy seeing you together, with Sean. You definitely need to do this more often, you all have some much fun together. I really enjoyed watching you shared your meals together, and enjoy the fishing.

[@MikeAndrzejewski-p9j]

I will never get enough of these videos 😂😂😂. Keep Shitttiiinnn em out. And yes I also wanted to say I love to see you guys set up all your camping gear. I love to see what? You guys are cooking up. And of course we need to see more riveting coffee and oatmeal segments. And of course also watching Jim Jim sure his coffee with his nice.YUP 🎉😂😂😂

Great to see Ted back out with you seemed awfully quiet though wondering if something happened

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

It was great getting out with him.

[@kimbaker3232]

Many years ago in the early 90s my dad decided to have the brilliant idea of bringing us camping here! Needless to say us being the pale Irish people we were straight off the boat so to speak, had no idea what we were doing! The whole trip was a disaster! Lightning and thunderstorms, food stolen by animals, and we got eaten alive by black flies 😮 My poor brothers blonde hair was red by the time the flys were finished with him! We always laugh at the story as adults now! Living back in Ireland now but have fond memories of our years in Canada trying to enjoy the great outdoors 😂 🌲 🏕️

[@CanoeDude.]

Your videos have inspired me to get back into canoeing. This summer I'm working in bwca thanks for the inspiration to find a happier life

[@davidhindy]

Good to see you and ur brother doing a video together. Ted,"maybe Sean got the massage tables out"

[@sherrierifenberg2199]

Good to see you all three together…but super great to see you and Ted together…was a little strange to see you with a double blade though! Another adventure under your belt! TY!

[@suseyq4559]

Always great, easy commentary as you paddle along. I think most of us feel like we are right in that canoe with you!

Did a similar trip down the nip a few weeks ago, but we went out to cedar instead of looping back. Looks like we were in about a week before you guys. No bugs but cold wet weather. Some trophy brookies for us that trip! Looks like you had a blast. Maybe we will cross paths in the park one day!:)

Incredible adventure

[@alissadankers1347]

Hey Jim! Could you give more details on that H2O double blade paddle you have? My dad has been looking into that, but has been having a hard time finding something. Just went on a multi-day paddling trip with him and listened to the scraping of a regular length kayak paddle on the edge of the canoe with every stroke for the entire trip. 😂

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Haha, oh man. Ya, a double blade for a canoe needs to be a lot longer than one used in a kayak. H2O has the capacity to make them up to 270cm mine (which I used to solo my Nova Craft Prospector) is 100.5cm but if it was about 4 or 5 cms longer it would be better for me. Here’s a link to the paddle I use. h2opaddles.com/collections/touring/products/lwt-xl

[@alissadankers1347]

Thanks Jim!

[@jeffdoiron6204]

Going on a trip with my brother in Algonquin in the summer, hoping to do some fishing too but it isn't our main goal. Hope to catch some and have some nice fish fries on our trip.

[@Ozinretirement]

Love the content, the Canadian outdoors is inspiring! I emigrated in my late 20’s and it was the best decision I’ve ever made, looking forward to the next episode 👍

[@CanadianSledDog]

Small blades on the double for touring is definitely the way to go. Even in whitecaps and raging tidal waters I don't wish for bigger blades. Whitewater might be a different story. Small blades is like small tires - less "spun weight" is more efficient and faster but sometimes you need big meat eaters to get the power to the ground in a sticky situation.

[@richardmcnamara8530]

It is so beautiful there, never went where you are headed for brookies!

[@CanadianSledDog]

Small blades on the double for touring for sure. Even in high wind whitecaps and raging tidal waters, I've never wished for bigger blades. Whitewater might be a different story.

[@Anja-77776]

😅 Hi Jim, As long as I watch your videos I see that you are always out of breath, I have had that too (in the past) and when I changed doctors I found out that it was a slow thyroid, it can really take many years or even never to get to this to be diagnosed. Maybe it's nothing, but you can ask for a blood test to be sure! God bless from the netherlands

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

I mean, I think I’m out of breath because I’m carrying 80lbs or more in rugged trails through the woods for miles on end.

[@Anja-77776]

@@JimBairdAdventurer I don't mean to be annoying Jim, but you always breathe heavily, it reminded me of myself, I could do everything too, but it cost me 5 x more effort than others, I thought I was 34 years old, well, that's going to get old quickly ! but maybe i'm wrong! God Bless

Jim, love your videos of your adventures . I do have a question, I noticed that you never seem to buckle your hip belt of your pack on the portages. Any reason why? As a backpacker and canoe tripper to me having the load onto the hips is easier than having all the load on the shoulders. Thx

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Ya, it hurts my hip. Backpacking I kinda go back and forth
