Braving Wild Whitewater Rapids to Experience a Remote Canadian River - Four Days of Backcountry Adventure. Conquer Rapids & Embrace the Wild
I recently spent four days canoeing and camping on the Lower Magnetawan River with my brother @TheRealTedBaird @XanderBudnick and his brother @maximbudnick We accessed the river for whitewater thrills, beautiful waterfalls (that need to be portaged) fishing, and beautiful canyon scenery, but found that the mystique of the river's lasting remoteness due to no road access and little development conveyed a nostalgic feeling through a true sense of older, and wilder times, despite the river's location in Ontario, Canada south of the French River. It seems that the challenges rapids present and the frustration mosquitos and blackflies create help to keep away the crowds.

@@mauriceboucher2221 it was out of season
@@mauriceboucher2221 I do but they are out of season
When your bro said you need to find the answer in your poo the next morning! Seeing how hard the rapids were for others and how you made it look easy really shows the experience/training levels!! I typically trip alone as it is hard to find ppl to trip with here in North Bay. Just finished Temagami and heading to do Mattawa River next week Cheers From @NotSoEpicAdventurer
It's always a pleasure to hang out with you Jim! Looking forward to part 2 and the next time we get out :D
Love your videos too, Xander. Um, 4 ducks total.
Definitely 4 ducks 👍🏻😁😊
I didn't say anything he is lying. Bring back the gourmet meals... the insane meals in the woods and start smoking stuff it's in aligment with the life in the woods. Smoke some jerky for 4-5 hours and enjoy :P Amazing vids guys keep up the good work A++
Awesome trip… love watching you all together good stuff!!
how were those rapids?
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Epic adventure with the boyz
The most amazing thing about this video is Jim's shirt, the same one that survived 25+ days on the Manitoba trip.I gave that shirt up for dead.
Hahah, yup, cuts still going strong
Dude you knocked that canyon run out. North is bad ass, first riding out the whitewater then how you have him so well trained to meet you downstream. The music you choose is awesome.
Wonderful to see 4 friends having a whale of a time. I never get tired of watching North, he's such a cool hand on the canoe, like he's been doing it all his life. Enjoyed this a lot, thanks Jim.
Yeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaawww ! 🎉
My man, Jimmy, with another BANGER of a video; let’s all give props to Jim for his amazing video content progression; each video story gets BETTER and BETTER. Keep on nature hustlin, Hustler! Love it
That was pretty epic white water river canoeing. Loved the drone perspective over Xander! Definitely some scary momemts. Awsome adventure guys… 💀🍻 cheers!!!!
Best 3-word finale: To Be Continued! Yeaaaahhhh!
Great Company Amazing Adventure with Great Friends 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Jim, you are awesome when it comes to running rapids!
Big thanks! I do my best out there but still dump sometimes haha
Great times, just got back from an 8 2 state tent camping motorcycle adventure with friends, and in two weeks we leave for an 11 day Kayak adventure covering several rivers in the Smokey Mountains as well as the outskirts, ending in a deep water mountain lake to try and get some walleyes and trout. Nothing like hanging with friends and soaking up the outdoors! You and a few others have inspire me to keep going in my 50s, and I hope you stick with it till your well beyond my years. Thanks to you and the boys for the inspiration, keep doing what you do and never stop!
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍s up Jim and the crew member
Thanks!!
@@JimBairdAdventurer, I got to finish watching the last part
Another awesome video!!! Looking forward to part 2
You have no fear Jim ! 😊👍
Bravery is just fear hanging on for another minute.
Fantastic video excellent production it has it all thrill adventure fishing etc etc etc
Thank you very much.
There no words to describe what you were born to do speechless
Thank you
Enjoyed the video Jim. BE SAFE OUT THERE!
There are four ducks, by the way 😉
Great video, Jim. Always a pleasure to see you, your brother, and the Budnicks out soaking in the wilderness.
Haha can thanks a lot. I agree. I’m glad you liked the vid.
Bravo Jim that was awesome it's nice to watching you, you have such a good time with your brother and your friends and North is such a good dog 🐕 take care and hello to your family.
Another awesome video!!
Thanks a lot
Wow! You are producing a lot of content and it's all great stuff, cheers bro.
Thanks a lot man, glad you’re liking it!
The baird brothers are definitely more experienced doing white water in a canoe- which is crazy in itself. But definitely looks like an awesome adventure
Thanks a lot, ya I’ve been paddling
Of yeh you are really good in a canoe. Your runs are what I would do in my kayak. So you being to do that in a canoe is definitely awesome. Keep the adventures coming mate!
Got to love old North, awesome dog Jim.
Thanks a lot!
That's some solid paddling. Very nice work gents.
Thanks a lot
THANK U VERY MUCH FOR THE JOURNEY !!!!!!
What a great dog North is wow! I watched your Yukon 14 day trip both parts what an OUTSTANDING voyage!❤it this one is turning out good too!
Thanks a lot, ya, he’s an awesome pooch.
You were fearless ripping over that dam - too bad Xander spilled in the rapids - As always it’s good to see North riding shotgun - thanks for the video
My fav. Parts always you big boys 😅
Hash, thanks a lot
As someone that doesn't follow your weather, it's good to hear it rained for ya. 🥳
Indeed
That was an awesome Charlie Brown Zander did on that rapid! Great stuff!
Hash, it sure was
My wife and I did the western loop of the magnetewan starting in Harris Lake the same weekend! Beauty River. Always see wildlife when we go to the area.
Cool, I’ve never done that as I always just opt to paddle to Britt and do a point a to b trip. I will do it before to long though I imagine.

Awesome!!!
That’s some serious paddling gentlemen 👊🏻🙌🏻💜 Thanks for the armchair adrenaline rush! 😂 Barret
You’re very welcome! Glad you liked it.
You make it look like a piece of cake, obviously you build confidence with the others, nice video
Thanks a lot!
I was devastated for little bro Ted when he had to eat that freeze dried meal, but you had the steaks!
lol, he got over it.
North is amazing on the canoe! We take our Ragdoll cat canoe camping, but she is tied up to a rope…haven’t tried rapids with her….yet 😉😉😉
Awesome trip very exciting. I watched your show on Natgeo it was so good can't wait to see more.🙂🇨🇦👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful job man, really enjoyed this one and can't wait for the next episode!
Tell your brother he's an asshole... hahaajk!! Tell him his meals suck lately where are the feasts in the woods. Believe it or not it's a big part of what people enjoy watching the cooking and the end result and the seal of approval that it's verry good. We are wired like this... damn Annunakis created us like that.
Man watching these reminds you that practice, training, experience plays a huge part - Jim going down was like art - like that looks easy I’d try that lol. then watching the rest of you “struggle” was a prime example. Glad to see all of your out playing safe together and learning!!! Love it!!!
North is looking great!
Thanks! Ya, he’s great in the bush
Badass run bud. That canyon is sweet.
Thanks a lot, ya, it’s an awesome sight that canyon.
Analytics. Love the content. ❤
I hope so 👍
Love the intro
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for this vídeo jim😊
YAY🎉 so excited to see this!
Awesome video thank you
You’re very welcome
When y’all were scouting that canyon I said to myself, “Come on, Jimmy, run that fucker”, and then you said you were gonna do it, and I couldn’t have been more proud and pleased.
Jim your whitewater paddling skills are just badass!! In fact, all 4 of yas just crushed it. Thanks for the super entertaining video!
You’re more than welcome man, thanks a lot
Great video! Lots of action on the river kept things exciting for sure! I think the answer to the riddle is 4 lol
i watch all of your content i enjoying watching your adventures thanks
Great video
Thanks a lot! 👍
Can't wait 2 see whats next , awesome adventure
super vidéos merci de France 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
North deserves a blue ribbon too for running and finding (-;
He does!!
I like your winter films big fella, but your canoe films are another level of beast mode good to have them back.
Thanks a lot! Ya, I love these kids of trips
Great video. It’s like watching my grandkids on a carnival ride. The excitement, and ultimately the joy at the end of the ride. Love, love, love your videos. ❤
big boy rapids. you guys rock
Can’t wait to WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW! Thank you! Very impressive footage! I love the commentary!
Nice pike catch early on the trip!
Thanks a lot! I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks! That was a great start to the adventure.
Great video gents. Scary paddling glad everyone made it! Thank you.
first time i saw north or any dog ride the rapids. well done pooch, well done.
Fun vid to watch. That second rapid that everyone made was really fun to watch your buds made some nice braces to make it. The fella with the double blade should give a canoe paddle a try. Much more power in the strokes and 5 times the brace power... Just saying. Keep up the good work. We enjoy it for sure. Steve, corkscrew was my river name

Loved the dam run. I must admit I was a little nervous and then excited to run it! Thanks for making room for your fans! I didn't hear your famous, "Yeah!"
Great video Jim. Love your channel and all the adventures you go on. Best wishes from down here in New Zealand. By the way, the answer to Ted's duck riddle is 4.
You’re right! Thanks a lot for watching and glad you like it.
Crazy big Jim!
Great video!
Thanks!
Its all awesome, shit i was late for work i had to finish it. Absolutely killer!
What a beautiful river to paddle! Another great video Jim 👍
great video looked like an awesome canoe trip for you guy's beautiful landscape as always and great footage of the rapids you guy's had to ride. North does so well on these adventures . that was one very nasty looking set of churning water and rapids at the canyon your skills are second to none amazing job Jim.! nice that Xander held it togetgeter and got through , you guys did amazing what an action packed video love it all.
Thanks very much! Indeed there was some exciting whitewater rapids that we captured in this adventure.
If you were born a 150 years ago you and Ted would have been the ones discovering this great country!
Hey Jim I just love watching y’all fight the rapids and catching fish, thanks!👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
river island spot is a beaut!
Great run Jim y'all had me on the edge of seat. Just a epic run, stay safe out there.
Will do, thanks a lot
That paddle slap at 33:22 was actually so clutch! Love from Saskatchewan Jim!
Indeed, it was a high brace when the canoe was ripping away from my paddling side and then a low brace when it tipped towards my paddling side
Loved the whitewater. Every time, I’m riding the waves with you guys ,I’m my canoe or yak.
I’m impressed with how you guys handle those long boats.
I have a 12ft solo oldtowne, and I could maybe see a 14ft under myself, but not sure I could handle much more than that in those conditions. I’d so run that in my 12ft.
Thanks guys.
Good stuff.
Awesome
Awesome video guys .Can't wait two see what's next.Thanks for the video Jim.Greetings from the Netherlands!
You’re welcome
Great trip. Didn't know that part of the river is so wild. We frequently put in at byng inlet and head west for some small sailboat and dinghy adventures. Great area
Thanks, ya it is wild for where it is. There no road access to it four 40kms
It's Been AWESOME, & Maybe Someone A Long Time Ago Painted Them To Save or Cut Out ???
Awesome video Jim. Good company and good times. North has certainly fit right in. I love my bluetti also. Hard to imagine such a wild river not far from home. Great drone shots. All the best to your family
Thanks a lot, it’s wild for where it, south of the French Ricer. There’s no road access for about the last 40kms however it’s nothing like the real wilderness rivers I paddle up to James Bay and in places like the Yukon, etc.
the food barrel and a pack. that's just bonkers! North, what a champ on those rapids.
so bad ass brother
Love you Bairds...waiting for MORE Home in the Wild episodes on National Geographic Channel!
Thanks a lot, you should let them know you want more as Disney cut way back in everything after their stock plummeted to an eight year low. So, at this pint there’s no more episodes slated.
Can you do more videos with Tori and the boys camping out or at home I know you do not like traveling too much with Wesley . He is the sweetest little thing always laughing 😊.
Absolutely, we actually do like traveling with Wesley a lot. We have some adventures in the works with him.
The Canyon part was AWESOME!!! 🛶
Looking forward to the part two adventure!
👍🌅🏞️🚣🎣🔥🏕️
You made that first waterfall look easy! I think North could’ve handled that! Maybe not…
He cold have soloed it and used his tail as a propeller by sticking it in the water and twirling it around.
all i can say is wow hi from maine
Jim, you're right! The Magnetawan River is great! It's just North of where I used to have my cabin on Shawanaga. My daughter Andrea, and I have paddled your river a few times. It's beautiful.
Dam that was awesome!!! 😂. Seriously ppl don’t try that at home. This man has been working on his skills & know how for a long time. Thanks for another great video guys!!❤
You’re very welcome and thanks for adding the disclaimer haha, have a good one
Perfect adventure companions!!! Two sets of brothers!
Wow I didn't know the Mag had a canyon like that! Nice drone shots too. You made the canyon run look easy. Cheers
Thanks a lot, ya it’s a pretty cool canyon, there aren’t many canyons like that in southern Ontario
What a good exit was a litle dangerous but everything went well, I'am amazed at the domination you have at the canoe is great and it's beautifull crazy, greethings for to your brother and North loved this dog
Awesome video guys it’s good to see you all again together good stuff!
Hell yeah thanks Jim!
You’re really good at canoeing good job.
I’m impressed with your skill.
Thanks a lot!
Holy guacamole that was excellent! Love , love that canyon run👍👍❤️
Love Ted's 3R song when Xander was collecting spare parts from the canoe! :) lol Some really strong paddling, terrifying but exhilarating! I was on the edge of my seat for all those crazy rapids. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to Part 2. :) :)
What a good night...watching your new show on Nat Geo.. and watching this...the TV show was great Jim...and so was this video..cant wait to see more
...hope everything works out well for you ...take care ✌️
Jim and the boys im reliving my own adventures here downunder on a river called the Mitta Mitta thankyou you have stirred my memories of another era which in many ways priceless
