Jim Baird Adventurer: Yukon Backcountry - A 400km Snowmobile Trip into the Headwaters of the Wind River & More. Wilderness mountains, ice fishing for Lake Trout, Wood Bison hunt, winter camping, and Alaska Highway overlanding….I’ve packed a lot into this video!
It starts in the early morning at -38 degrees Celsius. My buddy and I are managing deep snow as we ride into an impressive double sun halo. After stopping near an outfitter’s cabin, we have a mug-up and then start to ride on the wild and remote Wind River. Cutting through the bush again we make it into a headwater of the wind and begin ice fishing for Lake Trout. We catch several but need to get going so we ride out of there, headed for the previous night’s campsite.
After that, we go on a Wood Bison hunt and get one on day seven of an eight-day hunt! Finally, it’s time to go home after spending over a month in the Yukon. We load the trailer and hit the Alaska Highway. Once we get to the Great Planes, there’s little snow and we move across the country with relit ice ease, camping on Lake Superior before the final push home. What an adventure!

Thanks again for watching and have a great day.
Thanks a lot for watching! Please subscribe to my channel for more and let me know what your favourite part of this video was.
Nice. Are you going to be uploading your POV from that trip that your brother is currently uploading?
The sun halo an rainbow. Dogs teasing bison. The whole video was beautiful! I used to watch one of my dogs chase my 2 horses all the time when I was a kid. It's very entertaining and scary at the same time. Nice fishing hole too. Thanks
Favorite part was the celebratory "Yaaaaaaaa! once you landed a Laker. Also enjoyed all the commentary and history about the different Areas. Great to see Wesley enjoying the fur and I bet the Bison meat is yum!!! Peace, Wheelchair John in Idaho
Opening shots were beautiful but I enjoyed seeing the canvas basecamp. We camp in a 5M bell tent and plan to use that for longer stay areas on our Yukon/AK trip in a few more years.
Done! subscribed already! Stay safe
What a great trip & scenery it makes you realize how we all need to take care of our environment so we can enjoy this beautiful country. 🙂🇨🇦❤
This is very very true snd I’m glad my video helps you see that.
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Always love your videos Brother!!! ML&Aloha 🤙🏾🤎💪🏾🎣

Thank-you for this Video of Home !! There is No words to express the Gratefulness One Feels, while One is so far Away, from Home, dealing with the Horrors & Chaos, that Humanity has created.. This Vid. gave Sanctuary to wounded Soul...
You’re very very welcome!
Great video, my favourite part was the lakers, but the scenery was epic, thanks. have to finish watching the QnA vids.
Great stuff as usual, and congrats to you and Tori on the expanding family!
Thanks!!
epic landscapes
Thanks a lot and ya, they sure are
👏👏👏 what an inspirational video you nailed this one!!!
Thanks a ton! I though it turned out pretty good too thankfully. More to come!
What great scenery! Tori said it best, those mountains!!!
Right! They best. Thanks a lot for watching and for your comment. More to come
Great filming Jim, Tory and Wesley...I always said my dream is to move to Yukon one day!! Thanks for showing all of that!
You’re welcome! It’s like a big playground there and a lot of people from Ontario and Québec who’ve moved there. I’m not sure if most Yukoners like that though.
Such a beautiful area. So jealous. Great vid.
Thanks!
Top 3 favorite things about this video were the spectacular mountain scenery, catching the lake trout, and trip back home with Wesley and Tori with updates. Baffin Island and this adventure are my top 2 favorites!!!! Excited for the next adventure!
Awesome, well I’ll have to get out there and do another long winter adventure then!
I loved the whole adventure but the dog sledding was my favorite part. So glad you guys got to go on this once in a lifetime trip
Thanks, ya it sure was. Ans I loved the dog sledding too, I only wish we got internet on a multi day trip
Epic!
Another epic episode, thanks so much to the three of you for sharing. Awesome journey and experience. A real inspiration!
You’re very welcome!
Your Yukon trip was first class! You covered all the amazing adventures seemingly easy but the amount of work it took was tremendous. Not to mention all the video work! A huge congratulations on this great adventure!💯❤
Thanks very much! yes, a lot goes into it with prep and filming and then post production in the editing etc but it’s always worn it!
What an adventure Jim, Tori and Wesley. Epic memories. Bison burger 🍔 and fresh onions and tomatoes from the garden.
Thanks a lot! We’ve had our share of Bison meat so far as you could imagine
Just ordered your long sleeve shirt! Yeah me! ❤️❤️
Awesome man, thanks a lot
our "backyard" in Keno City Yukon. The awsome Peel River Country. Thanks for the video.
You lucky devils! So awesome. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful country.
Another awesome series! I am always a little sad when it's done. So looking forward to the next epic adventure! And a baby announcement 😉 May baby come safely and peacefully
Thanks very much and I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Outstanding intro
Thanks! Crazy that sun halo eh?
Nice video. Always wanted to visit Yukon
Gearing up for yet another heat wave here in Ohio so this was a refreshing video to watch. Almost more beauty than the eye can stand. Great job as usual Your editing is top notch! Thank you!
Hi my friend, I hiked summer time, from Angel lake down the wind River, to mclusky 50km, then visit nice hot spring up somewhere! I don’t know did you guys used that trail when you snowmobiling, beautiful places even winter. I hope mine companies never be can touch this watershed. How long to to take from mayo or Hanson lake to wind River by snowmobile my friend? Great videos all of them thanks for all
According to my instagram memories it has been 2 years since I visited Whitehorse and paddled a bit of the Yukon. I am pretty sure it is around the same time I started following your Hess River trip. Great to see your family have an amazing adventure! Keep being awesome 🍻
Nice man, thanks for sticking with my channel and watching stuff. I speculate the great comment and that’s pretty cool that you’ve travelled some by canoe in the Yukon too.
What a memorable long trip, beautiful scenery, great experiences and 2 stupid dogs with the snow in their favor or they'd be history. lol
Thanks a lot and ya it sure was. That was a bit of a sight there to say the least with the dogs and the Bison.
I just need to steal a couple degrees from you ,95 F here in the UP.. nice trip.
I would love to do that trip but I wouldn't be able to stay warm no matter what I wear. Love you guys!
Thanks a lot! It’s a dry cold there as opposed to a damp one so you’d be sprained!
What an adventure, so many memories with & without the family!! “One more cast” …funny in my book! Fantastic content Jim, now get busy editing for crying out loud😆
Glad ya liked that one!
the bison along the road may be licking up the salt on the roads if they use salt up there.
Exactly, and they’re protected which means they’re not hunted in this specific area. It’s because of this and that salt that they’re so plentiful along the highway in winter
Wondering if there will be a full trip video? I want the whole 8 hour video! Ha..
There is one! But this vid was not included in it
Enough with the snow, it’s almost Fall
Lol, I know…I took a Hyatt’s from this series while on a big canoe trip and had to get it finished off.
👍🏴
When you can go any day and catch your food for the day you don’t need money a house or anything. A canvas tent with a wood stove and a fishing rod. I guess eventually the powers to be will catch up with you but nice concept.
What do you use for bait
Weighted hooks and white tube jigs
That was a great trip. I watched the whole trip that you had on video. I couldn't believe how high the mountains are there. It's so beautiful there but very cold at the same time. It was a great camping trip with your family. Great videos.
Thanks a lot!
how do we support first nation peoples and defy politicians that support mining and drilling the last wildernesses we have? please leave some links.
Yup! Links are already in the description.
Where’s the kids?
No offence but that’s none of your business
@@JimBairdAdventurer non of what you do is my business. You are the one who made your life public. I’m a grandfather, just interested. Long trip no kids. Just being friendly. Bye!
Why do poeple go on other poeple Land that place is special to The first Nation poeple
You guys ROCK! What a beautiful place! NEVER stop doing your Passion of being in the Great Outdoors!
I will never snd can never. Thanks a lot
It was nice to follow your family on this one Jim. What great memories you will have forever. Thanks for taking us along.
You’re very welcome!
As always we REALLY appreciate the time you put into your adventures. They just keep getting better. You have a gift of storytelling and your demeanor is very calm and inviting. As long as you have a TH-cam channel..... we will watch . You’re tough as nails as your videos show and let’s not forget you and your brother won alone ! Keep up the good work my friend.👍🏼
wonderful 🙏
Would have liked to see more on the Bison hunting portion of your trip!
Ya I kind glazed over it. It was an 8 day hunt snd we didn’t get anything till day 7. We snowshoes between seven snd 12 kms each day in deep snow and often up steep hills. You can see how much weight I lost in the last scene of this compared to the first.
are you KIDDING meeeeeee so ummm----we who try to understand geez r us,,,,, maaan your something else you are
Enjoyed the trip, thank you
Hi from Syracuse NY USA brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures and your family and everyone else
NOBODY on TH-cam creates this type of high quality content in this genre!!!
So, please give this guy all the credit he deserves - for cryin’ out loud…
Thanks a lot for passing on the good word and glad you like it!
Jim Baird - Adventurer ... I agree with Thomas.. great film work! Thanks for taking us along.. let's hope the area is protected for generations to come.
Amen Thomas. Baird bros need to become a household name. “Bad dog!” Damn right Jim. That old Bison didn’t need that noise.
Subscribed and Liked👍. .the snow . Meant to ask you Jim the other night (@your LIVE event) thanks Tori😁, would you portage the Class3-ish rapids, or retry the "run". .🛶 . where you left the GoPro. . . in the Hess River if you revisited the Hess??
Probably portage
I never regret utilizing my free time to watching your adventures. You guys are awesome. Your editing skills are second to none.
Thanks a lot!
wonderfullll
Beautiful to see those snow covered mountains.. Awesomeness.. Thanks for showing us that Wilderness.. Shalom from bru Andrew..
That was beautiful Trip beautiful video take care,
Yeah it’s fly in….we didn’t ….no biggie….I’m a beast….love it JB
Lol, thanks a lot
The country up there is unbelievable, wow. How is it that it's not a well known place
When I saw you in front of the sign, for 60 degrees latitude, I thought you had lost weight, but, I thought, it might just be what you were wearing. Then, in a close up of your face a couple of minutes later, I was right. Running around in that cold weather, and eating fish and meat will do that for you.
It was the Bison hunt. We were snowshoeing about 10kms a day in deep snow
Thanks Jim, Tori and little Wesley for sharing this video. I really enjoyed it all. 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍💯💯💯❤️
Totally EPIC dude.✌️
And I got to go too ! Thanks for all of that fun ! Big happiness wishes to you and yours. And congratulations!!!
Thanks!!
Bravo 👏🏻 bravo 👏🏻 outstanding place, on all my motorcycle adventures far and wide and all my documentation I do to this day, I refer to all of these wonders such as you have shown us all, Always in search of El Dorado, except the El dorado I seek is very much real, truly an incredible place, I thank you so much for sharing with us all.
Thanks very much and I like the way you put that with the El Dorado megaphone. Have a great day and keep on truckin’
very cool .
Thanks for 'taking us' on so many wonderful adventures! Without your videos, I would have never known of all the beauty that there is in nature! Take care, my friend!
Kinda left speechless...thank you...👍😎🇨🇦🌲
You’re very welcome! Thanks for your words (or a lack there of)
Your making me miss winter in the middle of a heat wave. Great trip I'm glad I was able to tag along maybe someday we'll meet up Jim
As always we REALLY appreciate the time you put into your adventures. They just keep getting better. You have a gift of storytelling and your demeanor is very calm and inviting. As long as you have a TH-cam channel..... we will watch . You’re tough as nails as your videos show and let’s not forget you and your brother won alone ! Keep up the good work my friend.👍🏼
Thanks a lot and I will indeed continue to put out content as, for one I have a lot in hand.
Thanks Jim! Excellent as always!! Itching to set up the Snowtrekker here in Wisconsin.
Ya, awesome rents. Glad you liked the video
What an awesome adventure Jim, thank you for sharing it w/ us, to you and your family, stay safe.
Thanks a lot!
That’s some serious stuff way out there man. Next time I’m bitching about stuff when I’m winter camping in New England maybe I’ll think of this video and keep my mouth shut. This is beautiful. Way colder than the -8F I’ve seen 😊🇺🇸❤️❄️☃️🛷🔥⛺️🌄
Haha, ya it does get cold there!
money is definitely not everything
Exactly
So sad this trip is over... Something about this one was extra special. Enjoyed all of it, but really loved the time you took to show us the adventure of getting there. Kinda wish the trip home didn't feel so rushed...but based on my road trips-getting home is more of something just to get done and not as fun as the anticipation and adventure of getting there. In any case, I know you have more content coming up and me and my lady can't wait! Thanks again!!!
I watch your entire epic journey across Baffin Island. That's the story that put the Baird family on the map. I've watch your brother Ted, yeah you made Ted famous. You made your wife and baby famous. You are a Baird family of You Tube Stars...
Nice! Hope you liked that trip, it was pretty epic to say the least. Glad you like our content man, thanks for watching snd for the encouraging comment too.
What an epic adventure you always exceed explanations well done my friend 😜 btw my canoe video is up not nearly on your quality but was great fun and took y 70 year old father on it... If you do check it out even if you skip through let me know what you think please if not no worry's mate!
Nice man, ya I’ll have a lot. Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed this one.
Wow incredible Trip many memories made Loved every bit of it Thank you for sharing 👍🏾
You’re very welcome
Looks like you had a lot of fun up there! Nice haul too.
Legal ficou muito bom o vidio parabens.
I liked the “Bison Protest” and the heartfelt gratitude that you both have shown throughout your experiences. Take care and I’ll see ya in the next one. 💐💐💐
Haha, big thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed it
Very nice video and Jim, one hell of a trip.
Jim, a buffalo pisses such small maniacs around and is too clever to waste energy. Sad is, only human idiots, have to represent that.
Best regards from Frankfurt
Yes, dogs are used to bears bison in bison farms further south. This was a wild bison but at least one of those dogs was likely a herding breed and they are good at not getting killed.
Great adventure
"Get along lil sun-doggy" :) :( Wish you had taken point, with the camera, so we could be watching virgin snow and wouldnt have to look at your buddy's track!!! :(((((
Thanks a lot, ya that would here been better for the shot.
Lmao! I did the hand auger many times and never went as deep as you! I know what you were feeling! And my father left me a all metal ice scoop! But the ice freezes on it. That's why they went to plastic..~~~
I see, ya the ice was pretty thick but that plastic scoop snapped with the extreme cold
I think you got the Video of your Bison hunting camping, if possible make a episode of that. Like to see. Like this Adventure of yours, just wonderful 👌 ❤️
Ya, I skimmed over it but I didn’t film a ton from it either
Thanks for sharing your winter adventure,Yukon.I want to do this on summer .Is Aurora Borealis possible on summer?Power JB.
It doesn’t get dark in summer so you can’t see the aurora. Your best bet is fall and winter
Found you catching up on old seasons of alone…you are the man glad you’re still living your best life…fuck the mine developments cheers
Nice! Thanks a lot for coming over to the channel man. Ya, it almost all went through but is now in the Supreme Court. Fingers crossed they dint trash the place.
So you didn't show sleeping arrangements? And how can you go 500 miles round trip without refueling? Just curious?
We haul gas in jerrycans in the skimmers. I’ve done an 800 mile snowmobile expedition in the western Arctic on another occasion. Didn’t film much in the tent and had so much to share in this video I left it out
wish i was with ya!!!! i will go to the yukon alone again as i did 2 summers ago hitch hiked to carmacks and got a truck and drove to dawson city!!! was so much fun!!!
That sounds like a great trip.
"YaAaAaaaAA!
This came up in my feed as uploaded "Now" - what a thrill, a new JB video - so clicked on and am watching now - Superb work Jim - I love your work!
Is that the tent you used on Baffin Island?
I have also hiked a lot in Norway and spent the night in a tent.I really enjoy watching your Yukon adventures.
Thanks a lot, have you seen many of the summer canoe trip ones in the Yukon? Norway looks beautiful
