    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  5 лет назад +3

      It was July but the Hess is always that colour. Makes it very challenging to see the rocks!

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  5 лет назад +1

      I think it’s that color because of the proximity of Keele Ice Cap, up river it’s clear. Not sure but I think that’s why.

      I just started watching your video.
      I have fished for thirty years out of a canoe. Half the time by myself. And I have done 4 solo canoe trips.
      My advice. Get yourself a kayak paddle that can convert to two canoe paddles.
      Kayak paddle is so much more efficient than J stocking every other stroke.

    Excellent start. I really appreciated your comment at the end of day one as you were setting up camp that you were feeling into the trip, less jittery than before heading out. I am the same way. We did a 16 day canoe trip in 2002 in the Yukon with my son and best friend. While I was very excited about doing the trip, there is something about the anticipation anxiety that flows away once you are on the water and in the wild.
    I love the Yukon, but have not been back since 2002. Due to easier logistics and less available time, we have substituted taking a tandem sea kayak out in SE Alaska (with off year trips to Kodiak Island and Lake Clark). My long range canoe trips the last few years have been to warmer climes, the Buffalo River in Arkansas and the Rio Grande in Texas. You do a great job editing the massive amount of video that you must take during the trip. Great production (I enjoy that part too). Looking forward to seeing you negotiate the Hess.
    Best regards,
    Clark

Trouble is I have to soak it under the lawn sprinkler for a few days to swell her up. I only use it for a couple of weeks a year now. anyhow Awesome VLOGS bud.

    rolled on without you. (Hooped) What a epic trip your doing Man... very cool that you got to parallel the river on
    the flight in to kind of get a feel for the paddle. Love the Nova Craft straps you brought too! The skirt should be
    a great help on the trip too! Just epicness at it's finest JB... look forward to the rest of this trip! Cheers Big Guy!

The spay deck is pretty much a must for running these northern rivers with rapids when you have a loaded boat. Things will get a little more interesting on the navigation side in the days to come. Thanks a lot for checking it out!

My sister back in the 90's when she was short work being an accountant in her own business she drove from Parrsboro, Nova Scotia to the White Horse, Yukon looking for work for a year. My sister had a friend in where she stayed. My sister did find work in driving bus and ambularnce driving.
    When she was younger she used to do Lobster fishing (dangerous work) when accounting business and private home care nursing was slow. That was tougher then the two jobs in White Horse for sure.

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  5 лет назад

      I don’t think a kayak would be a bad choice for this trip if you could fit your gear in it. I don’t have much experience with them. Some groups use inflatables on this river. A kayak is going to be harder to jump in and out of to scout when you’re going through a stretch of rapids and harder to access your gear to unload and reload at portages. Canoes can be poled up river if necessary too. So, there are some advantages to the canoe, On this river, you could probably just run most things in a kayak though. It might be hard to find the right kayak to rent in the Yukon but it’ probably possible. Personally, I prefer the versatility and challenge of a canoe which has been the traditional watercraft of the interior Yukon for thousands of years....I have nothing against kayaks though.

    There's a great many things I appreciate and admire about your videos, not the least of which are the production qualities of the video and audio, but most of all, I love that you take the time to explain and teach. Your videos could so easily be limited to gratuitous showing-off because of the difficulty and remoteness of your adventures and your skill level, but you take the time to impart information that is important for all who are less experienced. One comes away from your content, not merely inspired, but better informed.
    Thanks for that.

      Wow, thanks a lot Martin! I guess I don’t get into showing off because honestly, I don’t really think I’m that good. And, I’m pretty nervous going into trips like this but I suppose I am good at mustering the courage and have always had confidence in the outdoors. This is great to hear and I’m really glad you’re enjoying the vids and getting some take homes from them. Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration!

    Greetings from Norway. Having watched some of the movies from your trips, and the only thing I can say is, respect!! Beautiful scenery and amazingly well made movies. I just found my new favorite channel!

      Awesome man, thanks for dropping by my channel and please spread the word! I actually met a group of people from Norway in the Yukon after my trip. They canoes a section of the Yukon River and saw a lot of wildlife. Glad you’re liking the videos!

      @@JimBairdAdventurer I definitely recommend your channel to people I know! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your movie from Hess River. I've actually been paddling some rivers myself in the Yukon Territory, the last time being in 2018, when me and a buddy spent 52 days in the wilderness while paddling the Hart River and hiking in the areas around the river.

    Let the show begin. Nice of Up North Adventures to modify the canoe for you. Nice hat ( your new Yukon hat). From what I have seen it definitely looks like wilderness. Great to see.
    Oh yes, paddle like Bill Mason and you won't have a problem! Looking forward to the other episodes.

      You’re going to love it! I’d consider starting higher up in the Hess. No real WW higher up o don’t believe and a shallower river but the wildlife is more abundant there and for whatever reason, Grayling always seem to be bigger further up on rivers.

    Great video! Thanks Jim. I remember you & your brother from Alone. I think it was a good Idea to walk & portage the canoe. Wrecking it would end the adventure. I would be interested to see what you packed, gear & provisions. Perhaps you can show it on subsequent videos. Thanks again.

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  5 лет назад

      Thanks a lot! I should do a video like that, on gear as a few people have asked me that. I know there will be a lot more of the gear items I use that show up in this series too, so you will get to see several just not a direct run down
