Come on, Jim. You didn’t find that gold on the Bonnet Plume. It isn’t even a gold-bearing river. A quarter-ounces like that would be by far the biggest piece ever found on that river, and would be a lifelong prospector’s dream. Yet somehow you found it after just a couple hours of panning? Give me a break. Your awareness of where gold lies and your poor techniques make your stunt even more obvious. Stick to canoeing and fishing, or get in touch with a legit prospector and learn how to do it the right way, and don’t pull those stunts on your viewers.
@@Ray-Willey It took a quick Google search for me to learn that the Bonnet Plume is not gold-bearing. The geology for the area is totally wrong for gold. There’s even an article from the New York Times explaining that this is why the area is still so undeveloped. Now here comes Jim, proclaiming mantras about preserving wilderness, while at the same time recklessly announcing the find of a nugget that is significantly larger than the finds that have started actual gold rushes. Thankfully, any hobby prospector can see how painfully obvious it is that he planted this piece in his pan. If he had watched just one TH-cam video from a hobby prospector, he could have cleaned up his act and come up with a more believable stunt. There’s a bunch on TH-cam, watch for yourself: Dan Hurd, Pioneer Pauly, VoGus, etc… Notice how different their technique is from his, and notice how excited they get about tiny little flakes. They’d only ever dream of pulling out a piece like his, and they’ve been doing this all their lives! But for anyone who was previously clueless about how to find gold, well he just made them even more clueless.
@@Ray-Willey If that gold is real, Jim needs to take down this video immediately. He will start a gold rush, whether the land is protected or not. That’s a $300 piece of gold in his pan. If it was that easy for him to find, there will be thousands of dollars of gold nearby.
I just want to express my thanks and gratitude for you and your brother Ted for the incredible adventures you have showed. The scenery is breathtaking as is the fishing. The wildlife is beyond anything in my neck of the woods( ma.) There was a time when I went on insane adventures but nothing compared to what you guys do. I just can't do this anymore. Knees are shot and in my late 70's. With that being said, Thank You. Looking forward to more adventures. God bless you both.
I think I speak for a lot of your followers when I say that the most disappointing part of your series is when it is over. You have managed to top yourself with this one from all of your previous adventures so I can 't wait to see what the next one brings!
I’m awed by the amazing Canadian wilderness and grateful to you for sharing your experiences so people like myself, who lack your skills and courage, can see them too. As Henry David Thoreau wrote, “in wilderness is the preservation of the world.”
Bonus Episode?? YEEEEEEEEAAAHHH!!! This has been my favorite series to date (I know, I always say that lol) BUT, the white water, the choices you made, the gold, your humor, and absolutely the scenery. Wow the scenery, absolutely breathtaking! It was all just next-level this time. Particularly the Cabin you explored, thinking of what life was like for whomever lived there, the view out the window, it was surreal. Maybe someday you'll go back with one of your sons and finally get to hike into that lake. I also liked the little spring fed waterfall coming out of the mountain. The braided section was very interesting. Much more difficult than one would imagine. I always enjoy watching and learning from you, Jim, you're a real inspiration. My favorite TH-camr and Adventurer without a doubt, thanks again for taking us along!

I was spellbound watching your Spell of the Yukon episode #1 and I'm so grateful growing up in BC and now at the age of 77 I'm living my dreams of adventure through your videos.. Congratulations on a fantastic presentation and I only hope that many more people enjoy your incredible journey...👍👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hello Baird, what beautiful places, wonderful country, I have several friends in those places and they send me some indescribable images and you and your family are one of them. Greetings to your wife, children and your brother too, Sergio, from Medellin, Colombia.
I been panning for few years and never found anything like that. Right on Jim, your adventures are beautiful with all the hallmark views in every direction 😮
Just watched Part 1 and couldn't believe I'd just happened on to this 2 part adventure. You made me feel like I was there the entire time, and I didn't want it to end. I especially appreciated the wrap-up and reflection on such an epic trip!
OOOObudy that pasta looks good at the taco bar. Glad you made it safe. Just a small wait for your plan to come back to get ya. Till next time keeper smooth side down. Around Bend Oregon out on 2 wheels... Thanks for responding between mt Christmas leftovers.. HAPPY NEW YEAR
You are a good paddler. I paddled the Wind/Peel to taco bar in 2016. That view into the start of the canyon on the peel is beautiful. I was very worried about that canyon all the way down the Wind, I had a novice paddler in my bow, but in the end it was nothing. The Peel can be a real slog after that. Great country. I would love to get back there before I'm done. Aren't we lucky to have this beautiful wilderness still out there. We need to keep it. Save the Peel. Maybe consider the NWT rivers?
@@JimBairdAdventurer So many rivers to be paddled. I fear I may have paddled my last true northern river. I may have retired about two years to late. We'll see. I'll need to get back in shape and convince my wife its ok for a 70somthing old fart to paddle rivers up there. I think you are enticed by the white water. I once enjoyed a lot of white water in open tripping boats. But, as I have gotten older, I confess I find it stressful. Now I prefer a bit of white water, yes, but mostly for me it is about getting into very wild places and seen all the country and the wildlife. Doesn't make for great youtube videos. But, it is a wonderful thing to do. Consider the Thelon and the Horton both of which are very wild and beautiful but not such heavy white water. More on the barrenlands end of the spectrum. Maybe the Back?
On this trip did you bring a second pair of shoes to change into. And I'm sure you braught a second pair of Sox. O I like that blue zip doing hoodie you wore were can I buy one like that.
Beautiful country. Thank you for sharing your adventure. I can't praise these two videos enough. Easily 1 of they best adventures I've seen. And I liked you more and more the longer the video went on. Your a good bloke and an even better photographer and editor. Fantastic video. Loved it
I really enjoyed the float/paddle down the Peele River. The images of the cliffs were striking with vertical bedding and overturned folding of the rocks and then normal flat bedding for much of your trip. Very impressive. Also very happy you found some gold, Sam McGee from Tennessee would have been jealous.
Inspiring video Jim. For the couch potatoes like myself it would be interesting to know some details about your equipment, like what kind of gun, what clothes did you have with you, did you have a satellite phone, what cameras, how often did you dare to take a bath, what food did bring along and so forth. Did you have a contingency plan if you needed help? Maybe a few words about yourself? We all want to know our hero better. LOL
jim there's fish there switch up they will bite find that gold switch from fishing to finding more gold so much cool stuff to do and not enough time lol
How many days to do this adventure and have time to check out all that you missed because of no time. A friend who live’s closer to your area. We have talked about trying this expedition. Ever thought of leading a group of adventureR”s on a group outting like this .
Two weeks should be great out there. I’ve right about guiding trips but you really have to guide multiple to make the insurance worth it and then I’d have to leave my filmmaking business and start a new one that would be less lucrative and more stressful, more liability etc. it would be fun to lead a few trips though for sure .
The best. The best! Hook line and sinker. A real adventure. Real content! We appreciate you! I’m at a loss of words! Thank you for bringing me on your journey. WOW!
I loved the folds in the rock of the canyon ... those white lines behind you in the cliff at the end intrigue me ABOLUTELY GORGEOUS SKY AND SCENERY AGAIN ... THANK YOU for the adventure albeit vicarious
Brilliant Jim"..Im from UK but lived a few years in canada" Love the videos" Also nice touch with the Gold Nugget , giving it to your Wife , best wishes.. hope we see more Adventures soon"... Maybe next time A small pair of Binoculars would help you see the Rapids better" Also , Sending a large log through the Rapids might help you with Trajectory of The River and Rapids?? just a Thought" Cheers " from England
Drill a hole in that bad boi nugget and put it on a chain for your lovely wife!!!! awesome! my brother told me to look up Arctic Greyling in our McClane's standard fishing encyclopedia ! It's a beautiful fresh water sail fish! You are very brave bro! just saying! I get spooked in The Maine Woods! especially when alone! youre officially The Man!
Thank you!! What an awesome journey. You went way out of your way to bring us along and for all of us watching, we thank you. Thanks again and stay safe.
Very cool, of course he has a place named after him! Ya, Algonquin sees a lot more traffic now than when I started going there about 20 years ago for sure. Still, in 2016 I did a trip in May, (starting the weekend after May 24 long weekend), we went from Lake Opeongo into the Crow River to the Petawawa which we followed to the eastern park border at McManus Lake and we didn’t see anyone for five days.
Hey Jim If I add a comment now will you ever see it? I’d like to have a chat. I’m an Aussie who did a lot of canoeing in a past life. Really enjoyed your posts. Ron.
loved the video..well done...looking to do a one week-ten day Yukon canoe trip..any rivers recommended where you get great wilderness but without the rapids that would scare the wife?
Try the Wind River in the Yukon. Also, the Yukon River there’s a starch with road access at both ends. One of the only rivers accessible by rd. In the Yukon so you’ll see other people out there but there is endless spaces to camp and amazing wildlife. It’s also way cheaper than taking a float plane
Yeah, Wesley,Hudson,Tori and North will be so happy to see you. I’ve enjoyed watching you on your adventures and never bored. Thanks for sharing Jim. ✅✅✅😎😎😎🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
Finding that large of a nugget is very rare. You should take a metal detector back there you can cover a lot more ground. You could probably find a lot more gold
The issue is that it costs about 7k to get in and hour if there for the float plane charters alone and the area is also protected against commercial mining / prospecting oppressions.
I worked a full season in the Bonnet Plume area no greater country on earth...That old trapper's cabin belonged to Louis Brown..an old outfitter in the 50's..His wife was Dolores Brown a noted author...God I miss that country!
There's gold in them there hills lol. Not sure why you carry your gun in a case while portaging through the bush. A bear is not going to wait for you to get it out of the case lol Very nice scenery tho
Thanks to you I get to see the beautiful Yukon while I’m sitting here in my warm home eating popcorn, although I would like to be out there on the river but I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Wish I had more of an adventurous bone when I was younger, I don’t know what I was thinking..I was programmed to do like everyone else in the social life, get a job, go home goto work…repeat repeat..would much rather do what you’re doing. I’m 63 though I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Little too late in the game darn it..thanks for sharing!!!
I know you can’t pack a spare of everything but, having your stove break really sucked and, that’s definitely something I would have brought a back up for. A BRS stove weighs nothing and is tiny. I always keep one at the bottom of my barrel with a 100 gram fuel canister.
Man, I've learned so much watching these two videos. Thank you. Subbed. I doubt Jim will see this comment, but can anyone tell me why he carries so much gear? I'm sure there's a reason, I just don't know what it is. If I were backpacking this, I would have a backpack and that's it. So just trying to learn more. I'd love to get into canoeing. Didn't realize it could be so dangerous. Sounds fun😁
Thanks a lot did see your comment obviously lol. I had a lot of stuff on this trip as the amount of charging gear and camera gear I bring to document the trip is substantial. This route really didn’t have as many portages as there’s I’ve done so you can bring more stuff it it fits in the canoe. With a larger outfit, you have more survival gear in remote areas which is essentially safer. Paddlers in these areas typically travel pretty heavily but in wilderness areas further east, it’s better to travel lighter as there’s more portaging
@JimBairdAdventurer that makes a lot of sense. Thank you. Here in Texas I don't pack my Kayak heavy, but its Texas. Yes we have some places where you might need to "survive" a few nights, but not many and definitely not like it is up north. I appreciate the insight very much. Been watching your channel here at the VA waiting on docs to get my surgical stuff in order. Definitely inspired to try something new after I recover. Again, Thank you.
Thank you, Jim. Thank you. For all the times you have taking n us with you. You cannot understand what a treasure it is. I will say that when you released that grayling you almost caused my cat a heart attack. he was at the screen going crazy at it slipped away. What a marvelous adventure. Now I have been there. We have to eat something better than oatmeal though. next trip We imagine bacon and eggs for breakfast.
It’s really that easy to find nuggets there? Jim must have been close to the bedrock in that canyon, nice spot, I think he should have stayed there for another week. Would love to watch more gold adventures on these trips.
Totally lucky as I’m new to this but ya I was right on bead rock which I didn’t really understand how important that was at the time. I should have dug down there but this was one of many times on this adventure I tried panning. So, I found basically nothing after say, 20 hours of panning in this fashion before I found this. I guess even a blind pig stumbles over some corn if he stumbles around for long enough haha.
@@JimBairdAdventurer that’s awesome man, I’m glad you ended up finding some and got to experience the thrill! Thanks for the reply and for sharing your adventures on here. Watching your channel led me to do my first canoe/portage trip this last summer, bowron lake canoe circuit with gf and some friends. It was awesome
Right on jim....another Beauty vid. Any quote on that nugget? The kid in me wants to make the Ontario to Yukon drive for a few scoops of gravel:) Cheers. Scott
Watched part 1 last night and watching part 2 right now. This guy is a cross between Bear Grylls and cousin Eddie. Loving this. Thanks for taking us along.
Ha, ya, I used to drive past it on the way to my buddy’s house who lived in the subdivision more or less right behind it. You could see it from his kitchen window. His joke was that the home was a strategic purchase.
Thanks, Jim, for sharing the wonder that is "Yukon". While I sit here in faraway Singapore with your help my heart and mind can roam and see the world through your eyes. The beauty of the wilderness is magical. Learnt a lot from your straight talk. Cheers and take care.
Vielen herzlichen Dank Jim. Ein sehr schönes Abenteuer mit großartigen Aufnahmen. Danke, das ich dabei sein durfte. Liebe Grüße aus Bayern Thank you very much Jim. A very nice adventure with great shots. Thanks for letting me be there. Greetings from Bavaria
Hi, Russia is here. Thank you so much for so nice views and wild nature you showed here! I also hike alone and understand the efforts you made to capture from different positions youself, your boat and of course beautiful nature! Thank you so much! Have nice trips in the future and save hiking! Good luck! :-))
i am a kayaker based in the uk jim and i can honestly say your spectacular adventure has blown me away you truly are a brave humble gifted adventurer and i bloody admire you you have inspired me to attempt more rivers and wild camping thanks a million jim cheers russell
Hi Jim - I'll be headed to the Yukon in late April. Not sure where exactly.. maybe Whitehorse to Dawson or maybe up through Mayo. Which would you suggest? I'll be in a ram2500 with 20ft enclosed trailer
Have a wonderful God filled holiday season and spend time seeking Him 💕 Yeshua is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He took God's wrath upon Himself, that was the punishment for everyone in sin. He died and rose to give you new life in Him. Born again, a new creation. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved, receive eternal life and spend time with Him to know Him. Attend a church, read and obey scripture. Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need. He alone satisfies. Seek God and see your worth how loved you are and know who He is, read scripture. 💕 We are to live righteous and Holy because He said to and He paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen. Hallelujah Praise the Lord God Almighty 🙏 Thank You Yeshua. I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏 Father God Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey Your truth. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. Knowing truth from errors, discernment. 💕 We are to live live righteous, doing the right thing always and living in obedience to scripture, every word of it. We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Yeshua should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Yeshua, for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖 People need to turn from their wicked ways, Yeshua paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. We live in obedience to His law, which is all of scripture, every word of it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏🔥 🕊️ Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. God has said to stop sinning. Scripture says how you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus Yeshua's name may you see and know the truth in its fullness. Yeshua is worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said. Yeshua said If you love Me you will obey My commands. Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.💖🙏🕊️🔥 obeying His every word and in that is life more abundantly. Praise God so Awesome!! Hallelujah Yeshua 🙏 God loves all of you and you are worthy to Him, Yeshua died for all because God loves everyone he sent Him. Come know Him, Yeshua call upon Him 💕 the world knows Him as Jesus, He answers 💕 Thank You, Yeshua for Your obedience and love, even unto Your death You obeyed the Father 🙏 Hallelujah Praise the Lord God Almighty 💕 In Yeshua's mighty name 🙏🔥💖🕊️ God is always faithfully Himself and so awesome. Every way He said He would be in scripture He is. Every day ages and ages of Him never changing. Hallelujah Yeshua Praise the Lord God Almighty 🙏🕊️🔥💖
Show que baita aventura tchê, infelizmente nunca terei o prazer de fazer umas dessas mas viajei contigo do começo ao fim, foi top, abraço de Brasil e muitas aventuras para nos proporcionar essa viagens.
Just kidding, that was the plane that was there when I arrived. I filmed it after pulling up and, since it was the same plane in the same spot as what I flew away in, I used that footage over me taking off shit from inside the plane! Sneaky eh?
Think of all the gold you have walked over lying in those gravel bars, Jimbo... Here's an idea for your consideration. Get a good quality nugget shooter metal detector and leave something behind next trip to have room for it and take a little longer time between pickups so you can walk some of those gravel bars and shoot for gold nuggets behind some of the larger boulders. You already have the solar charger to keep the battery charged up. Greyling are nice, but gold nuggets are nicer! That land is virgin gold prospecting territory, and is not contaminated with all the metallic garbage of civilization that would waste your time with false alerts. Iron ore would probably be the only false alert you may get, and you can set the detector to discriminate for it.. Put on your sourdough hat and get after it! Gold nuggets are worth more than spot gold because of the jewelry premium. That was a beautiful gold nugget you lucked into. You must have the fever after that nugget.... If you don't disturb the ground and push it back when done, they should not have issues with it. You are not creating silt in the river channel like a dredge would. Watch some videos on how to nugget shoot with a detector behind boulders in a dry river bed. It is fool-proof with a detector and a hand trowel to dig down with. Just keep digging and run the trowel under the detector every scoop, and pan the trowel load that shows a nugget in it. Channel your inner 1898 sourdough. Boyo! They will all be watching enviously from the great beyond... Hey! Think of all the potential new subscribers! Just take us with you on video...
Good videoadventure thanks for uploading/making!!! I enjoyed it verymuch. With headwind you can have a can on a rope in front of you to pull you. Greetings from the netherlands!
I would hate having to push myself to do so many km. Per day. I hear you being stressed over it too. Make sure Disney doesn’t put that kind of pressure on you. You should be able to kickback and really be part of the landscape. Be still and know “I am God.”
Time to try the 'ranger shot' from the Canadian reserves; a pouch of Starbuck instant dumped into your mouth along with some creamer. A bit of water for a swish and put it down. Brutally bitter but effective on the move.
With your smoked muscles that your going to take out. You sure look tired. Like you could just crash right then and there. Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure. You sure have guts. I’m in awe. This was the most isolated in nature video I’ve ever watched. I will watch again it’s that good
Jim, seeing how your very remote/alone, how often do you run across another adventurer or even an unknown visitor such as a UAP? Being so alone I would think you are ripe for strange visits.

Too bad you didn’t go into Fairchild Lake since you did make it early at LZ. Next time …. Thanks Jim
I just realized after watching many episodes that Jim was on the History Channel show "Alone" 75 days is pretty impressive ! And won season 4 🏆
That is true! Thanks for noticing. I also have a current series on NatGeo and Disney + called Home in the Wild.
Wow…
I can’t find the words.
This was an amazing trip.
Can’t thank You enough for doing this.

You are a good paddler. I paddled the Wind/Peel to taco bar in 2016. That view into the start of the canyon on the peel is beautiful. I was very worried about that canyon all the way down the Wind, I had a novice paddler in my bow, but in the end it was nothing. The Peel can be a real slog after that. Great country. I would love to get back there before I'm done. Aren't we lucky to have this beautiful wilderness still out there. We need to keep it. Save the Peel.
Maybe consider the NWT rivers?
Thanks and yes, absolutely. I’ve done the Mountain and South Nahanni on the other side of the divide
@@JimBairdAdventurer So many rivers to be paddled. I fear I may have paddled my last true northern river. I may have retired about two years to late. We'll see. I'll need to get back in shape and convince my wife its ok for a 70somthing old fart to paddle rivers up there. I think you are enticed by the white water. I once enjoyed a lot of white water in open tripping boats. But, as I have gotten older, I confess I find it stressful. Now I prefer a bit of white water, yes, but mostly for me it is about getting into very wild places and seen all the country and the wildlife. Doesn't make for great youtube videos. But, it is a wonderful thing to do. Consider the Thelon and the Horton both of which are very wild and beautiful but not such heavy white water. More on the barrenlands end of the spectrum. Maybe the Back?
On this trip did you bring a second pair of shoes to change into. And I'm sure you braught a second pair of Sox. O I like that blue zip doing hoodie you wore were can I buy one like that.
Beautiful country. Thank you for sharing your adventure. I can't praise these two videos enough. Easily 1 of they best adventures I've seen. And I liked you more and more the longer the video went on. Your a good bloke and an even better photographer and editor. Fantastic video.
Loved it
Thanks a lot, that is much appreciated and it’s great to hear you enjoyed the videos too.
Brilliant stuff, thanks very much for sharing!
You’re welcome!
I really enjoyed the float/paddle down the Peele River. The images of the cliffs were striking with vertical bedding and overturned folding of the rocks and then normal flat bedding for much of your trip. Very impressive. Also very happy you found some gold, Sam McGee from Tennessee would have been jealous.
Inspiring video Jim. For the couch potatoes like myself it would be interesting to know some details about your equipment, like what kind of gun, what clothes did you have with you, did you have a satellite phone, what cameras, how often did you dare to take a bath, what food did bring along and so forth. Did you have a contingency plan if you needed help? Maybe a few words about yourself? We all want to know our hero better. LOL
Thanks a lot for watching. Maybe one day I’ll do a video with some more of this info but typically they dint get any views
jim there's fish there switch up they will bite find that gold switch from fishing to finding more gold so much cool stuff to do and not enough time lol
How many days to do this adventure and have time to check out all that you missed because of no time. A friend who live’s closer to your area. We have talked about trying this expedition. Ever thought of leading a group of adventureR”s on a group outting like this .
Two weeks should be great out there. I’ve right about guiding trips but you really have to guide multiple to make the insurance worth it and then I’d have to leave my filmmaking business and start a new one that would be less lucrative and more stressful, more liability etc. it would be fun to lead a few trips though for sure .
Glad you n your brother got out to get your hand looked at. Sweet you got some fish on the line before recovery.
Dude, great vid and music. Great camera work too, thanx.
The best. The best! Hook line and sinker. A real adventure. Real content! We appreciate you! I’m at a loss of words! Thank you for bringing me on your journey. WOW!
Tire very welcome! I’m pumped that you enjoyed it so much.
I loved the folds in the rock of the canyon ... those white lines behind you in the cliff at the end intrigue me ABOLUTELY GORGEOUS SKY AND SCENERY AGAIN ... THANK YOU for the adventure albeit vicarious
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching and for the encouraging comment. Nothing wrong with living vicariously. Have a great day.
Fantastic! Beautifully edited - loved both episodes and your immersive all in on solo adventuring! Look forward to seeing your next adventure
Brilliant Jim"..Im from UK but lived a few years in canada"
Love the videos"
Also nice touch with the Gold Nugget ,
giving it to your Wife , best wishes..
hope we see more Adventures soon"...
Maybe next time A small pair of Binoculars would help
you see the Rapids better"
Also , Sending a large log through the Rapids might help
you with Trajectory of The River and Rapids?? just a Thought"
Cheers " from England
Thanks a lot, the binos would help for sure. I kinda use the zoom on my camcorder for that while I’m filming as well.
Drill a hole in that bad boi nugget and put it on a chain for your lovely wife!!!! awesome! my brother told me to look up Arctic Greyling in our McClane's standard fishing encyclopedia ! It's a beautiful fresh water sail fish! You are very brave bro! just saying! I get spooked in The Maine Woods! especially when alone! youre officially The Man!
Big thanks and good idea on the chain pendant. It does take some balls.
Oatmeal or no meal!!! 😎👍
Full length Hollywood movie: "The Willows" by Algernon Blackwood. Screenplay re-written for you and your brother.
Sure to be a blockbuster.
Ha! Sounds good
What an amazing story! Thank you for sharing it with us.
You’re very welcome! Thanks a lot for watching
Thank you!! What an awesome journey. You went way out of your way to bring us along and for all of us watching, we thank you. Thanks again and stay safe.
Brought back fond memories of 30 days canoe tripping in Algonqin Park when it was still a wild place 60 years ago with the legendary Ralph Bice
Very cool, of course he has a place named after him! Ya, Algonquin sees a lot more traffic now than when I started going there about 20 years ago for sure. Still, in 2016 I did a trip in May, (starting the weekend after May 24 long weekend), we went from Lake Opeongo into the Crow River to the Petawawa which we followed to the eastern park border at McManus Lake and we didn’t see anyone for five days.
Great adventure Jim, Cheers👍😎👍
A bonus episode! So great. This day has everything you could ever want in a canoe trip.
Hey Jim...Thanks for this. What a tonic for the soul! Who is the really nice Dobro/Bluegrass music by?
Thanks a lot and I’m not sure who the music is by off the top of my head. You can probably shazam it however
I really love this series thank you so much for all that you do to bring us awesome videos
Hey Jim
If I add a comment now will you ever see it?
I’d like to have a chat.
I’m an Aussie who did a lot of canoeing in a past life.
Really enjoyed your posts.
Ron.
Very cool, ya man, I see your comment. I have an app that brings newest comments up to the top
Thanks for doing it all twice for us Jim to create one heck of a epic adventure 😁
loved the video..well done...looking to do a one week-ten day Yukon canoe trip..any rivers recommended where you get great wilderness but without the rapids that would scare the wife?
Try the Wind River in the Yukon. Also, the Yukon River there’s a starch with road access at both ends. One of the only rivers accessible by rd. In the Yukon so you’ll see other people out there but there is endless spaces to camp and amazing wildlife. It’s also way cheaper than taking a float plane
Thankfully no need for bear spray or the shotgun
Jim that was beautiful adventure I can watch over and over your awesome can wait for next one.
Bonus episode! I have loved this series. Thanks Jim.
My favourite trip of yours so far, thanks for sharing it with us. Looking forward to your next adventure 😎
You’re very welcome!
Yeah, Wesley,Hudson,Tori and North will be so happy to see you. I’ve enjoyed watching you on your adventures and never bored. Thanks for sharing Jim. ✅✅✅😎😎😎🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
I love your videos, but a can’t believe you eat cold oatmeal out of a stainless steel dish!😂😬🤷♂️
Reminds me of portions of the Stikine.....thank you!
Finding that large of a nugget is very rare. You should take a metal detector back there you can cover a lot more ground. You could probably find a lot more gold
The issue is that it costs about 7k to get in and hour if there for the float plane charters alone and the area is also protected against commercial mining / prospecting oppressions.
Thanks for the well done videos of some incredible scenery. Makes for exciting and sometimes intense viewing.
Thanks a lot
New SUB like this i enjoy river and camping and finding gold cool so thanks
No problem and welcome to the channel. I’m glad you’re enjoying the content.
I worked a full season in the Bonnet Plume area no greater country on earth...That old trapper's cabin belonged to Louis Brown..an old outfitter in the 50's..His wife was Dolores Brown a noted author...God I miss that country!
There's gold in them there hills lol. Not sure why you carry your gun in a case while portaging through the bush. A bear is not going to wait for you to get it out of the case lol Very nice scenery tho
Thanks a lot. Ya, it’s too much to lug a shotgun back and forth so I carry bear spray and bangers as well which is what most do.
I watched the whole movie. Very good.
Cracked me up when you name the campsite Solid Gold........after a strip club in Sudbury. LOL
Thanks to you I get to see the beautiful Yukon while I’m sitting here in my warm home eating popcorn, although I would like to be out there on the river but I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Wish I had more of an adventurous bone when I was younger, I don’t know what I was thinking..I was programmed to do like everyone else in the social life, get a job, go home goto work…repeat repeat..would much rather do what you’re doing. I’m 63 though I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Little too late in the game darn it..thanks for sharing!!!
Amazing adventure, you inspire me to make it to the Yukon, thank you!
You’re welcome! I hope you get the chance to go soon.
I know you can’t pack a spare of everything but, having your stove break really sucked and, that’s definitely something I would have brought a back up for. A BRS stove weighs nothing and is tiny. I always keep one at the bottom of my barrel with a 100 gram fuel canister.
Where can we find the music your playing in backround?
I get it from a music library I pay to be part of but you can try the schazam app
Man, I've learned so much watching these two videos. Thank you. Subbed.
I doubt Jim will see this comment, but can anyone tell me why he carries so much gear? I'm sure there's a reason, I just don't know what it is. If I were backpacking this, I would have a backpack and that's it. So just trying to learn more. I'd love to get into canoeing. Didn't realize it could be so dangerous. Sounds fun😁
Thanks a lot did see your comment obviously lol. I had a lot of stuff on this trip as the amount of charging gear and camera gear I bring to document the trip is substantial. This route really didn’t have as many portages as there’s I’ve done so you can bring more stuff it it fits in the canoe. With a larger outfit, you have more survival gear in remote areas which is essentially safer. Paddlers in these areas typically travel pretty heavily but in wilderness areas further east, it’s better to travel lighter as there’s more portaging
@JimBairdAdventurer that makes a lot of sense. Thank you. Here in Texas I don't pack my Kayak heavy, but its Texas. Yes we have some places where you might need to "survive" a few nights, but not many and definitely not like it is up north. I appreciate the insight very much. Been watching your channel here at the VA waiting on docs to get my surgical stuff in order. Definitely inspired to try something new after I recover. Again, Thank you.
Thank you, Jim. Thank you. For all the times you have taking n us with you. You cannot understand what a treasure it is. I will say that when you released that grayling you almost caused my cat a heart attack. he was at the screen going crazy at it slipped away. What a marvelous adventure. Now I have been there. We have to eat something better than oatmeal though. next trip We imagine bacon and eggs for breakfast.
Yum! Bacon and eggs 🤤 it’s funny, a lot of people send me pics of their cats and dogs watching my vids haha…I think they just like nature? Not sure 🤔
It’s really that easy to find nuggets there? Jim must have been close to the bedrock in that canyon, nice spot, I think he should have stayed there for another week. Would love to watch more gold adventures on these trips.
Totally lucky as I’m new to this but ya I was right on bead rock which I didn’t really understand how important that was at the time. I should have dug down there but this was one of many times on this adventure I tried panning. So, I found basically nothing after say, 20 hours of panning in this fashion before I found this. I guess even a blind pig stumbles over some corn if he stumbles around for long enough haha.
🤦♂
@@JimBairdAdventurer that’s awesome man, I’m glad you ended up finding some and got to experience the thrill!
Thanks for the reply and for sharing your adventures on here. Watching your channel led me to do my first canoe/portage trip this last summer, bowron lake canoe circuit with gf and some friends. It was awesome
Ka pai e hoa..love frm AOTEAROA(New Zealand)
Thanks a lot!
Right on jim....another Beauty vid. Any quote on that nugget? The kid in me wants to make the Ontario to Yukon drive for a few scoops of gravel:) Cheers.
Scott
Go for it!
@@JimBairdAdventurer it's definitely on my bucket list:)
HAPPY HAPPY THANKSGIVING jim tori family
Thanks a lot! Hope you have a good one!
Waited for the best part.....rationing your creamer....20 years!! Laughed out loud!! Epic stuff. Thank you very much!! Loved ever second!!!!
Watched part 1 last night and watching part 2 right now. This guy is a cross between Bear Grylls and cousin Eddie. Loving this. Thanks for taking us along.
Solid Gold Vip Lounge was the actual name of the club.
Ha, ya, I used to drive past it on the way to my buddy’s house who lived in the subdivision more or less right behind it. You could see it from his kitchen window. His joke was that the home was a strategic purchase.
Thanks, Jim, for sharing the wonder that is "Yukon". While I sit here in faraway Singapore with your help my heart and mind can roam and see the world through your eyes. The beauty of the wilderness is magical. Learnt a lot from your straight talk. Cheers and take care.
I’m thinking there isn’t to many places you can’t drink the water up there.
You make old men like me dream
Kudos on the nugget! Money won is twice as sweet as money earned.
This is true, thanks a lot. Of course I didn’t even remotely covert any of my expenses to get there but it was a cool experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed your film man, well done 👏
Thanks!
Very cool , good sense of humor , keep the videos coming
Thanks a lot and will do.
Vielen herzlichen Dank Jim. Ein sehr schönes Abenteuer mit großartigen Aufnahmen. Danke, das ich dabei sein durfte. Liebe Grüße aus Bayern
Thank you very much Jim. A very nice adventure with great shots. Thanks for letting me be there. Greetings from Bavaria
Hi, Russia is here. Thank you so much for so nice views and wild nature you showed here! I also hike alone and understand the efforts you made to capture from different positions youself, your boat and of course beautiful nature! Thank you so much! Have nice trips in the future and save hiking! Good luck! :-))
Will do, glad you like them and thanks for watching! Enjoy your upcoming treks!
i am a kayaker based in the uk jim and i can honestly say your spectacular adventure has blown me away you truly are a brave humble gifted adventurer and i bloody admire you you have inspired me to attempt more rivers and wild camping thanks a million jim cheers russell
Thanks Jim for another great adventure, I wish you a happy new year 👍
Hi Jim - I'll be headed to the Yukon in late April. Not sure where exactly.. maybe Whitehorse to Dawson or maybe up through Mayo. Which would you suggest? I'll be in a ram2500 with 20ft enclosed trailer
Have a wonderful God filled holiday season and spend time seeking Him 💕
Yeshua is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He took God's wrath upon Himself, that was the punishment for everyone in sin. He died and rose to give you new life in Him. Born again, a new creation. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved, receive eternal life and spend time with Him to know Him. Attend a church, read and obey scripture.
Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need. He alone satisfies.
Seek God and see your worth how loved you are and know who He is, read scripture. 💕
We are to live righteous and Holy because He said to and He paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen. Hallelujah Praise the Lord God Almighty 🙏 Thank You Yeshua.
I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏
Father God Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey Your truth. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. Knowing truth from errors, discernment. 💕
We are to live live righteous, doing the right thing always and living in obedience to scripture, every word of it.
We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Yeshua should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Yeshua, for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥
2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖
People need to turn from their wicked ways, Yeshua paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple.
He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do.
We live in obedience to His law, which is all of scripture, every word of it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏🔥 🕊️
Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin.
God has said to stop sinning. Scripture says how you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus Yeshua's name may you see and know the truth in its fullness.
Yeshua is worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said.
Yeshua said If you love Me you will obey My commands. Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.💖🙏🕊️🔥 obeying His every word and in that is life more abundantly. Praise God so Awesome!! Hallelujah Yeshua 🙏
God loves all of you and you are worthy to Him, Yeshua died for all because God loves everyone he sent Him. Come know Him, Yeshua call upon Him 💕 the world knows Him as Jesus, He answers 💕
Thank You, Yeshua for Your obedience and love, even unto Your death You obeyed the Father 🙏 Hallelujah Praise the Lord God Almighty 💕 In Yeshua's mighty name 🙏🔥💖🕊️
God is always faithfully Himself and so awesome. Every way He said He would be in scripture He is. Every day ages and ages of Him never changing. Hallelujah Yeshua Praise the Lord God Almighty 🙏🕊️🔥💖
I really enjoyed both parts. Keep the ventures coming!
Show que baita aventura tchê, infelizmente nunca terei o prazer de fazer umas dessas mas viajei contigo do começo ao fim, foi top, abraço de Brasil e muitas aventuras para nos proporcionar essa viagens.
Just an amazing adventure that I've really enjoyed bud, the place will never leave you. Wish i was there😁👍🇬🇧🇬🇧♥️♥️stay safe my friend
Congratulations Jim - you definitely deserved to find a nugget after all the tough portages - great video 👍
Very nice video! Big thank you from🇫🇮
Wow never watched or heard of you
But what a great adventure
Big thanks!
YAH, YOU DID IT, JIM!!!!! IT'S BEEN INTERESTING WATCHING YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY!! YOU ARE A TRUE SPORTSMEN!! Do take care. Fl.
Will do any much appreciated! The Bonnet Plume was a challanging river indeed!
1:21:15 How in the world did you get a shot of your plane taking off from outside it? Did the pilot take off and come back for you for that shot?
Magic
Just kidding, that was the plane that was there when I arrived. I filmed it after pulling up and, since it was the same plane in the same spot as what I flew away in, I used that footage over me taking off shit from inside the plane! Sneaky eh?
Think of all the gold you have walked over lying in those gravel bars, Jimbo... Here's an idea for your consideration. Get a good quality nugget shooter metal detector and leave something behind next trip to have room for it and take a little longer time between pickups so you can walk some of those gravel bars and shoot for gold nuggets behind some of the larger boulders. You already have the solar charger to keep the battery charged up. Greyling are nice, but gold nuggets are nicer! That land is virgin gold prospecting territory, and is not contaminated with all the metallic garbage of civilization that would waste your time with false alerts. Iron ore would probably be the only false alert you may get, and you can set the detector to discriminate for it.. Put on your sourdough hat and get after it! Gold nuggets are worth more than spot gold because of the jewelry premium. That was a beautiful gold nugget you lucked into. You must have the fever after that nugget.... If you don't disturb the ground and push it back when done, they should not have issues with it. You are not creating silt in the river channel like a dredge would.
Watch some videos on how to nugget shoot with a detector behind boulders in a dry river bed. It is fool-proof with a detector and a hand trowel to dig down with. Just keep digging and run the trowel under the detector every scoop, and pan the trowel load that shows a nugget in it. Channel your inner 1898 sourdough. Boyo! They will all be watching enviously from the great beyond... Hey! Think of all the potential new subscribers! Just take us with you on video...
Good videoadventure thanks for uploading/making!!! I enjoyed it verymuch. With headwind you can have a can on a rope in front of you to pull you. Greetings from the netherlands!
Great adventure! Love your videos. Thanks again.
I would hate having to push myself to do so many km. Per day. I hear you being stressed over it too. Make sure Disney doesn’t put that kind of pressure on you. You should be able to kickback and really be part of the landscape. Be still and know “I am God.”
Time to try the 'ranger shot' from the Canadian reserves; a pouch of Starbuck instant dumped into your mouth along with some creamer. A bit of water for a swish and put it down. Brutally bitter but effective on the move.
Such a great series and adventure. Thanks for sharing, Jim.
Pro Tip: breakdown your tent poles from the middle not the end. Less strain on the elastic.
Do you ever get tired of oatmeal in the morning.
Not really but I can’t say I exactly spring out of bead for it
With your smoked muscles that your going to take out. You sure look tired. Like you could just crash right then and there. Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure. You sure have guts. I’m in awe. This was the most isolated in nature video I’ve ever watched. I will watch again it’s that good
Jim, seeing how your very remote/alone, how often do you run across another adventurer or even an unknown visitor such as a UAP? Being so alone I would think you are ripe for strange visits.
