Guess my favorite part of this episode was just seeing how you can "read" the river and know which channel to go down even if you may not be certain. Your extensive canoeing experience really shows. Great series!!
Wow. That braided section with constant “no oops” spots would be mentally exhausting. Amazing to see how you were able to cover so much distance regardless.
Your series have become one of the only things I get excited for media- release wise. The wife knows when she hears "We got a new Jimmy video" that we will be watching your latest vid after supper. Thanks for being so genuine.
Jim has taught me several things that I should have thought of, but have not. Make sure you watch all his videos. He is the most knowledgeable wilderness traveling man that I have watched. But, canoeing is the most important thing to watch
I'm blown away by this trip! Those Braids! Good Lord! If I tried something like this, no doubt I'd end up as chunks in some bears stool. Looking forward to ep. 10!
Jim I tell lots of like minded people about your channel, I enjoy it as if I was doing it all myself, well almost, there’s nothing like getting out there and doing it, it’s life and to some like myself, it’s what life’s all about. Look forward to what ever you throw out there next. Robert
Thanks for showing us that drone view around 10:00, it really gave us a good look at all the hairy options you had to make on all those channel choices. 😮
Wow just when you think the scenery couldn’t get any more beautiful, along comes the majestic rock boulders and cliffs on the Peel! Thanks for taking us all along for the journey! What a beautiful world out there!
Peel river is so beautiful, cant really express why. Bonnet Plume was incredible, the landscape around it was a big part of the beauty. Peel has an amazing feel of power and the canyons just strengthen that feeling. Very nice videos !!!
Awesome video Jim, the whole series has been great. Really nice to have met you and your family this fall and the cabin is there for you guys anytime you come back to Labrador for a trip. 👍
I'm always inspired whenever I'm watching I've been fan since alone. Tried others but they just don't show the love like your content for outdoor life .
Quite the views on the river for sure, you can definitely say you got to soak up a lot of great scenery on the trip and in this episode that is no exception. Amazing how the various little channels were moving you along and the different obstacles you faced in them from whirlpools, to floating debris, to stands of trees that had high flow water in or around it... and the trying to dodge not getting pocked in the face or eye by a massive tree sticking out or branches and trying to navigate as you were getting dictated by flow. as to where you were being pushed I am sure had the old heart beat up for sure. I can only imagine the footage that didn't make it in, because what has has ben pretty spectacular so far in the beauty of the scenery of the Yukon and what you have captured on this trip, and to think there is so much beauty in this country to explore, your doing a good job of showcasing it for these that dont realise what hidden gems there are here, your adventure videos are living proof. I know you did your The Ultimate Bug-Out Kit video a while back but have you ever given any thought to put together a video of some of the gear you consider a must ( or your favorites ) have that you use for these trips and your backpacking adventures? We have all see you use your fold up saw, the old Eureka Tent ( which is absent from this trip.. and it has been on so many ) a new tent... your favorite wet suit ( also on many a canoe adventure ) the trust food barrel ( I always wondered if you made your own back pack harness for it or did you buy one for it or did that come with it. How much food does your barrel hold? Where you got your detailed maps from ( I know you said the folks owned a map company... I think? ) It would be great to do a favorite gear breakdown for us ( good sponsor plug too eh...lol...) your thoughts on must have what, you find works well for you, how it has held up.. why you chose this or that... Just a thought Look forward to the next update in the series... but sad to see it coming to a close...its been awesome
Wow that was intense watching you maneuver threw that section of the Bonnet Plume River very scary especially the whirlpool area . Loved the twisted looking rock formations and layers showing along the Peel so cool to see. Happy you had a safe trip into the Peel really an enjoyable adventure Jim
That was a long exhausting journey battling some fast water. Thankfully you had those ballerina slippers on😂🤣😂🤣 You never disappoint with your videos, it was great 🛶👍
My favorite part? that's easy, from 0:00 to 30:38. It's a never-ending wonderland of adventure, and an education into remote wilderness canoeing, camping, and survival. You make it look so easy.
I haven't seen it yet Jim, but I was bragging about this great Canadian Kid at work the other day and I have quite an audience. I am going to watch it now. I'm close to 60 Jim, and just love your videos. I am so darn proud to be Canadian. You have both my respect and admiration for the extraordinary strength of character that kind of bravery demands. I may never have met you, but I see you and love you. Your brother has the most beautiful canoe stroke I have ever seen. But, I just watch your videos.
Epic episode. Love the bits of tips during your episodes - wrapping a coffee filter over the intake of your water filter to prevent the river sediment from gumming up the filter.
My favorite part is when you finally get to camp after a long day of paddling. I like it when you cook, but I can understand the tins of mussels being convenient and easy when you're exhausted. Doesn't seem like enough to eat tho, after all that paddling. I never tried the mussels, but I really like the tins of smoked oysters. I always marvel at how you find your way thru all those channels. I'd be lost forever. They'd find my canoe washed up on some shore. Great video. The scenery is always amazing. Glad you had good weather, aside from the strong wind.
I would think you'd have to pinch yourself to believe you are actually there because the scenery is beautiful. I'd love to have some of those rocks for my yard 😊
Solving a 35 year old bushcraft toothpick mystery was pretty special :D Your charisma is top shelf! Always look forward to watching your videos for the education, experience, and entertainment. Thank you again Jim !!
Total beast mode bro.. You kicked it's ass, my favorite part, just seeing you find the will to push through when you must have been so damn tired. Rock on bud
Jim, your sixth sense on where to go, and not to go, reminded me of my many long hikes when I was in the Venturers Scouts in the Flinders Ranges Of South Australia. Your experience always got you through and the attitude of “It Is What It Is!” .... great adventure mate 🇦🇺
So much muscles!!! lol That canyon in the Peel looks absolutely gorgeous. I love Thursdays for these clips but I am sad it's ending soon! I hope it won't be too long for the labrador clips to drop. :)
Another beautiful video beautiful scenery, and like you said you make more than 60 kilometers that is incredible for one is such a beautiful journey take care Jim
The scenery is beautiful. Hated to see the group of trees that had been on fire. It will take years before Mother nature heals the area.You're almost there. I enjoyed this video.
Fires are "Mother Nature's" way of rejuvenating an area. Indigenous people have known this for hundreds of years and often burned areas to start a rejuvenation cycle.
Entering that canyon on the peal reminded me of Lord of the rings should be two giant statues of Jim Baird on either side. And I just like your attitude you got me with the quote of general George Patton on the last series I like your artistic poems that you started this series of with. Your general attitude of man's desire to conquer the unknown
Hey Jim my favourite part is the rapids and fast water but with all your videos the narration keeps my attention so many videos out there have very little talking. Keep up the good work looking forward to more.
Great series. I really enjoy traveling along with you. I particularly appreciate that you include various shots of the river conditions as you approach. It's fun to see how you handle the features, and to second guess your lines from the safety of my chair. Thanks! Also I have a single word about your stove troubles. Trangia. Steve
Which episode is my fave, I can't say bcoz I haven't seen all episodes, I don't seem to get all the notifications. However it is a dang pleasure just cruising the Yukon with you sand flies mosquitos and all, and I'm here in Aotearoa NZ, snug as a bug in a rug. Thank you for the adventures Jim..
Favorite part is usually watching you read and navigate the currents, your skill and experience shines through. And, your humor always makes it very enjoyable as well. BUT, the patterns in those Canyon walls were incredibly beautiful!! This trip is up there with the best scenery yet. Always love hearing the valuable information you share as well.
I think the return to the mountains when you got close to the Peel. What a beautiful couple of rivers. You had to be going 10 miles an hour in some of those spots. Thanks-
I’ve said it twice already during this trip but dang I wish each episode was about 30 minutes longer each…I know it’s a lot of editing & hard work so enjoy every second of what you do put out,just selfishly wish each one was atleast an hour long
Favorite part was watching you eat smoked mussels. Because my grocery store was out of them and I was afraid there was a global shortage. But now I feel better. Also, don't listen to the haters who want you to turn down the mic on chewing and slurping smoked mussels.
Great video Jim. The Batman Boys and the father a nimble ballerina 6'-5" guy in a tutu getting sweets for the boys. Sorry Jim had a vision when you said ballerina.
It is amazing to see you how you navigate through the wilderness,the river and portages wildlife the sky you have everything at your fingertips that is amazing to me thank you very much Jim
Have been enjoying this series Jim, by golly you cover some impressive distances and push at it hard core. I have particularly enjoyed those moments when you are able to relax and describe the magic of the places that you are in. Seems a major pity you couldn’t have a few more days on the trip to explore and really take in the surroundings. Many thanks for the clear effort you put in to both make the journey and also film it.
Thanks a lot for watching. Please let me know what your favourite part of this video is.
canoeing and wildlife. It's all good really
The part where it started. And my least favourite part? The part where it ended :(
Stoked to keep following your adventures and learning from you!
As always, your skills and those gob-smacking views are my favorite! No words, man....👍🇨🇦😎🛶🌊🎖⛺⭐
Def going through those braids with the sweepers… kept ya on your toes forsure haha
Love the scenery and the canyons! Absolutely gorgeous!
Jim Baird - outdoorsman, husband, father, ballerina! Lol
I west many hats lol
Guess my favorite part of this episode was just seeing how you can "read" the river and know which channel to go down even if you may not be certain. Your extensive canoeing experience really shows. Great series!!
Very good point
The worst thing about a trip to the Yukon is realizing you have to come home. Great videos.
Wow. That braided section with constant “no oops” spots would be mentally exhausting. Amazing to see how you were able to cover so much distance regardless.
You definitely earned that tin of smoked mussels Brother!. Another great episode JB. What a trip! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks a lot and you’re welcome.
Your series have become one of the only things I get excited for media- release wise. The wife knows when she hears "We got a new Jimmy video" that we will be watching your latest vid after supper. Thanks for being so genuine.
Jim has taught me several things that I should have thought of, but have not. Make sure you watch all his videos. He is the most knowledgeable wilderness traveling man that I have watched. But, canoeing is the most important thing to watch
Thanks a lot, I’m glad you’re getting some value out of the films!
I'm blown away by this trip! Those Braids! Good Lord! If I tried something like this, no doubt I'd end up as chunks in some bears stool. Looking forward to ep. 10!
Love your sense of humor - cracks me up! Glad you can entertain yourself on these solo adventures - haha
Jim I tell lots of like minded people about your channel, I enjoy it as if I was doing it all myself, well almost, there’s nothing like getting out there and doing it, it’s life and to some like myself, it’s what life’s all about. Look forward to what ever you throw out there next. Robert
Tanks a lot for a passing on the good word and I’m glad you like it!
Thanks for showing us that drone view around 10:00,
it really gave us a good look at all the hairy options you had to make on all those channel choices. 😮
This was a great episode such beautiful scenery but your mussell/muscle comment made me laugh out loud !!!
Wow just when you think the scenery couldn’t get any more beautiful, along comes the majestic rock boulders and cliffs on the Peel! Thanks for taking us all along for the journey! What a beautiful world out there!
Jim, your videos are simply the best as always. 80 clicks in a day is no joke. Good stuff!! Looking forward to the final day and your next series!
Really good series, the scenery was fantastic. Thanks for effort put in to show these.
The effort surpasses so much other content out there, he's a rockstar no doubt.
Beautiful scenery again. What a joy it must be to experience this. It's a joy to just watch you. Love the outdoors.
Thanks a lot!
Wow wow wow! How amazing Jim, da man of the North. Your attitude inspires me...thank you
Peel river is so beautiful, cant really express why. Bonnet Plume was incredible, the landscape around it was a big part of the beauty. Peel has an amazing feel of power and the canyons just strengthen that feeling. Very nice videos !!!
Well that was a long hard paddle! Sure leaving us with a "cliff hanger" with those tracks Jim... LOL Can't wait for the next one.
Haha I love how you have a little coffee with your creamer in the morning
I thought the entire trip so far was exciting not knowing what the river was going to do next and your Portage makes me wish I was a young man again
Awesome video Jim, the whole series has been great.
Really nice to have met you and your family this fall and the cabin is there for you guys anytime you come back to Labrador for a trip. 👍
I'm always inspired whenever I'm watching I've been fan since alone. Tried others but they just don't show the love like your content for outdoor life .
My favorite part… all of it! 😊😊
Loving this series Jim. Can't believe you cruised through that canyon, with those acoustics, and didn't do some patented Jim Baird singing.
Quite the views on the river for sure, you can definitely say you got to soak up a lot of great scenery on the trip and in this episode that is no exception. Amazing how the various little channels were moving you along and the different obstacles you faced in them from whirlpools, to floating debris, to stands of trees that had high flow water in or around it... and the trying to dodge not getting pocked in the face or eye by a massive tree sticking out or branches and trying to navigate as you were getting dictated by flow. as to where you were being pushed I am sure had the old heart beat up for sure.
I can only imagine the footage that didn't make it in, because what has has ben pretty spectacular so far in the beauty of the scenery of the Yukon and what you have captured on this trip, and to think there is so much beauty in this country to explore, your doing a good job of showcasing it for these that dont realise what hidden gems there are here, your adventure videos are living proof.

Look forward to the next update in the series... but sad to see it coming to a close...its been awesome
You overcame each day's challenges. That was what I liked most, besides the awesome scenery.
Keep pumping the vids out. You SOLO is the best.
Thanks a lot and will do
What an adventure 😅. Thanks for taking us along Jim.
jim, my favorite part barrel talk!!, then the way you paddle through the The boil ups just Awesome!!!!!!
Wow that was intense watching you maneuver threw that section of the Bonnet Plume River very scary especially the whirlpool area . Loved the twisted looking rock formations and layers showing along the Peel so cool to see. Happy you had a safe trip into the Peel really an enjoyable adventure Jim
Outstanding Jim! Thanks. My favourite part was watching how quickly you move past the shoreline due to current.
That was a long exhausting journey battling some fast water. Thankfully you had those ballerina slippers on😂🤣😂🤣 You never disappoint with your videos, it was great 🛶👍
My favorite part? that's easy, from 0:00 to 30:38. It's a never-ending wonderland of adventure, and an education into remote wilderness canoeing, camping, and survival. You make it look so easy.

Awesome as always, love you brother!
Thanks a lot
Love the final section with the boils and sweepers. So interesting how the flow changes, thanks for sharing! You are an amazing guide
Those cliffs on the Peel are phenomenal!!
I really like all of your videos. This one was great. It was awesome to see your enthusiasm to finish one river and start another.
Favorite part was the teaser on the next episode! Been a great series!
Love the danger of the river, not sure if that’s cool but it has me glued to the screen!
Loved this series Jim, the best!
The Bonnet Plume looked challenging, but the Peel Canyon looked awesome 👌 Beautiful scenery 😍 Thanks again for the share Brother 👊 🔥👊
My favorite part is when you finally get to camp after a long day of paddling. I like it when you cook, but I can understand the tins of mussels being convenient and easy when you're exhausted.

Rock on, beautiful adventure, love your muscles, that was funny especially after the long day you had! Thanks so much!
Just what I needed after a long hard day at work - another premium upload from you Jim, cheers 👍🏼
Watching your videos i feel like I'm right there with you.thank you
I would think you'd have to pinch yourself to believe you are actually there because the scenery is beautiful.
I'd love to have some of those rocks for my yard 😊
Solving a 35 year old bushcraft toothpick mystery was pretty special :D Your charisma is top shelf! Always look forward to watching your videos for the education, experience, and entertainment. Thank you again Jim !!
Yyyyeees...I was thinking you already have a lot of muscles, lol. Great series for sure!
Lol, thanks a lot!
Amazed by the skill and determination it takes for a trip like this. I hope i get to your level someday Jim love your videos local ontario boy too.
So determined, it's incredible
The scenery is just beautiful. You did such a great job.
Total beast mode bro..
You kicked it's ass, my favorite part, just seeing you find the will to push through when you must have been so damn tired.
Rock on bud
Loving this series, thanks Jim 🐺🐾
Jim, your sixth sense on where to go, and not to go, reminded me of my many long hikes when I was in the Venturers Scouts in the Flinders Ranges Of South Australia. Your experience always got you through and the attitude of “It Is What It Is!” .... great adventure mate 🇦🇺
Outstanding!
Thanks a lot!
Awesome rock formation. Thanks for posting.
Wow! Great video, as allways. Thank you from Germany. My favourite part: the first 30 Minutes
So much muscles!!! lol That canyon in the Peel looks absolutely gorgeous. I love Thursdays for these clips but I am sad it's ending soon! I hope it won't be too long for the labrador clips to drop. :)
Another beautiful video beautiful scenery, and like you said you make more than 60 kilometers that is incredible for one is such a beautiful journey take care Jim

Great video,awesome country,thanks for sharing and stay safe.

Literally one of the only reasons to come to TH-cam, to see if Jim has released a new video yet! Thx for sharing your always amazing adventures!
Thanks so much Jim, great video! ✅✅✅🤩🤩🤩😎😎😎💯💯💯
Great work Jim. Keep them videos coming.
Those braids might cause trouble but man was that overhead shot gorgeous. Another great one, Jim.
I've gotten into the habit of hitting like at the start of your videos, they are that good. Keep adventuring!
Great series. I really enjoy traveling along with you. I particularly appreciate that you include various shots of the river conditions as you approach. It's fun to see how you handle the features, and to second guess your lines from the safety of my chair. Thanks!
