Ice and Fire | 7 Challenging Days Camping in the Canadian Wilderness
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- An amazing 7 rough days in Canada's Algonquin Park with the winners of History's Alone, Jim Baird and Ted Baird, costarring Buck the adventure dog. Freezing temperatures, high winds, cold rain and difficult fishing conditions challenge our ability to keep warm, start fires and to catch enough fish to keep us energized.
Bull moose, loons and other wildlife accompany us as we paddle across lakes, down a flooded river for days through raging waterfalls and whitewater and then back up a steadily rising river for another couple of days.
Paddling solo, we each pilot our own canoes - me in my new Swift 14' carbon Prospector, Ted in a Swift Keewaydin and Jim in a Novacraft Prospector.
On day 4, we visit with Scott and Griffin of Drenalin Adventures and their friends at their amazing campsite on a beautiful Algonquin Park lake in the the heart of the park.
Despite the challenging fishing conditions, we manage to land in excess of 75 brook trout, the largest by Ted, measuring 21 inches and almost 4 pounds!

Thanks to ruclips.net/user/SwiftCanoeKayak for the canoe.
Thanks for bringing us along with you that was very therapeutic
Great video Shawn. It was great to meet up with you and the Baird brothers at camp.
My Self Reliance I kinda had a laugh when you said you hadent seen anyone catch a bird while fishing. Not sure if you’ve heard of a RUclipsr named lunkerstv but for some reason down in Texas they catch birds all the time. Not on purpose I just want to say but it happened not once but twice in a week. 😉
I guess Buck is one of the laid back most relaxed Samuyeds I've ever witnessed! 🤗🤗🤗
Daddy pulls him => in the canoe => over a log => crossing that creek.
Buck just raised his head yawning just waked up in misunderstanding what all that fuzz is about and why he's not allowed just to sleep in this nicely shuckling canoe! 😍
Hilarious!😊😊
Please more of trips like this Shwan!
Ontario's wildetness it's so outstanding!👌
Thanks for taking us along.
Being handicapped, COPD and 2 broken knees. I am relinquished to be shut in, at 48 years old, constantly attached to an oxygen concentraor and needing a 4 wheel walker to get about. When I was younger living in Calgary, and the Ottawa valley I spent many a weekends camping, fishing, and such. Your videos, help me forget about my problems, and take me away ro a place where I am there in the woods, smelling the smells, hearing the sounds. You really put a smile on my face, and a song in my heart. THANX SO MUCH MATE.. Bubba in Calgary
Sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope you feel better soon. Take care..all the best form the Netherlands
Look up anti inflammatory, COPD and Boswellia Serrata on Google Scholar. Boswellia is better known as frankincense. It is the resin of the tree, powdered for use.
It does not help bone, but for almost any soft tissue it is healing. You can buy it in bulk or in capsules on Amazon.
When you take it, mix it with sunflower or olive oil...never with water, which makes a sticky mess.
Dose depends on what you are taking it for, but I take a large dose several (1/2 tsp mixed in oil) times a day for two days, then taper back to maintaining beneficial effect...as little as 1/8 tsp mixed with a drop of oil.
It tastes like perfume, but you can rinse your mouth out with water afterward and it’s fine...clears the taste right out.
Amazing stuff...please do some research!
I have COPD too, sorry to hear about your knees...that must make things even tougher. I love watching these videos because I get to see things I know I will never have time for. thank goodness for the internet.
Keep fighting brother.
@ yes so sorry to hear of your dis-ease...we just have to keep pushing towards movement my chiro tells me, even through the pain little by little...humans can do anything our mind believes for the benefit of ourselves and detriment of ourselves...and the pharma drugs...well, they all have side effects. Be the best you can be, purify your diet and thoughts and do not believe all that you are told. Sending love, peace and all the best wishes for you
My husband and I took many trips like yours, both alone and with 4 others. The Allagash of Maine, the Boundary Waters of MN. and the Green River of Utah were all great trips, as well as many trips to northern Maine and NH. My husband passed away 3 years ago so watching this video takes me back to the great times we had. We traveled and set up camp, fire and, fished the same as you. Dealing with good and bad weather, you live with your wits. I can smell the forest, the water, and the fish that you are filming. Thanks for the memories.
Hi P J R Beautiful & obviously heart felt note . Brian 78
You are the best ambassador for Canada and Canadian culture ! We travel with you
Well say
I would agree
ΚΑΝΆΛΙ ΤΗΣ ΙΣΤΟΡΊΑΣ ... that’s for sure ... I’ve only ever been to Canada when we stayed on Lake Kabetogama and crossed over to a small fort area in Canada (tourist-y), but Shawn’s videos show so much beauty ... as long as I don’t have to drive in the winter and have enough bug repellant in the warmer months, I’d love to go visit deep in the woods
Live in London your videos are a great reminder that there’s a fantastic world out there.great to see people enjoying it 🇬🇧
Wow!! What a FANTASTIC fishing trip !! THANKS FOR TAKIN US ALONG!!! BEAUTIFUL SEANERY ABSOLUTLY AWSOME!! NO BUGS AN FRESH FISH!!! CANT BEAT THAT TRIP!!
Shawn, you work so hard at your cabin that you need to take time off and relax. Good for you enjoy.
I get sad sometimes..knowing i cant go anymore..but then you take me on great trips like this..im greatful shawn..cowboy..
Thank you James. Once again thru your great videos we get to enjoy the beauty of Canada. For this we thank you. Hope you feel better bud.

He has another another channel called Shawn James. Just as great as this one. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.
OMGosh!! Moon, moose, wilderness, fishing, nature, primitive wilderness and best of all loon calls! I cannot even Express how much I enjoyed this video! Thank you for the loon calls. There's something about that call that always touches the primitive side of me!!
Good Friday Shawn, Jim, Ted, and Buck🐕! Thank you for taking your viewers to canoeing, camping, and fishing adventure in the northern Canadian wilderness! Those wild brook trouts look so good and tasty!👍🏕🚣🐟
Besides the nature and the sounds and smells + cinematic camera works, the white flooffy dowgie brought me so much joy.
The call of the loons, the glimpses of moose - and the incredible scenery shots - that was worth the hour + to watch.
Thank you!
Reminds me of times my wife and I had hiking into the back country outside of Bruce Peninsula National Park 25 years ago -- well before the area became a hot-spot for beer-cooler laden individuals sprawling on the rocks of Georgian Bay like seals. The sounds of the loons while sitting on the shore of Emmet Lake with nobody around - just the two of us makes me want to return to those simpler times and just enjoy the simplicity of it all.
I get you. Same on weslemkoon Lake south of Bancroft. Don’t even hear the loons as much now. More people and more people noise.
I appreciate your life's adventures for many reasons, thanks for taking all of us on your many journeys
Thank you - my eyes and ears had a feast.
Culture turned to nature to awaken humankind, not to, the trimming and turfing of gardens, but wild nature.
The true harmony of the unshorn landscape with horrid thickets, wide morasses, bald mountains
and the balance of land and sea. R.W Emerson
You are thoroughly spoilt in Canada with the scenery, lakes and rivers. The camp sites looked cool too. 🍁🌲🌿🎣🛶
The silence of Nature in the middle of the lake... It is an indescribable peace for the soul.
Wow, what a trip. I could almost feel myself on the river. Love the loons and sounds of trees and other birds. Crackling of fire so soothing. Brought back lots of memories. Being handicapped now, this allows some form of living vicariously. Thanks do much for the videos. Happy trails yo you. 😺💞😺🐶. Be safe.
I learn something with every video. Today it was "portage" or "portaging". I had to look it up but now I know. Thank you for the education as well as the peace I feel from such beautiful sights and sounds.
Wendy Crabtree... Me too. I first heard the word watching Joe Robinet and had to look it up too. UK.
I learned it from listening to and reading everything I could get my hands on about Lewis & Clark! That was a great study on them and I learned a lot about our countries! I drove an 18wheeler with my husband and all along the way I would see the L&C historical trail plaques and I always had to get out and read about it! I probably had a previous life as a trapper or Indian and I love to wilderness camp! Great video 👍🥰❤️ by the way, I’m watching this in August of 2021 and I need a camping trip from Covid 🤢🙏🎂💫
Dude that was epic. It's more than comforting to see that places like that still exist in the world. Thanks for sharing
What we lowlanders refer to as a trip of a lifetime, You're living in. So glad you are showing us the adventure, and for those of us not physically able to do it, providing the eye therapy we crave. Awesome adventures and great videos Shawn. Stay safe and Happy Trails to you.
Glad you got out, Shawn!!
It was a rare pleasure to hear the loons. I greatly enjoyed that.
Man, It's been a looong time to sit down and see a video of yours! But finally I'm back from the army, and almost 4 months later, I can sit down and relax. Hello again Shawn!
Andreas thank you for your service and sacrifice. Please know that you are appreciated.
Welcome home.
Welcome home soldier. As the daughter of a WWII Veteran, I sincerely appreciate your service. God Bless you and yours.
Thank you for your service. It is very much appreciated. God Bless
Such an amazing channel and wonderful story/journey! Totally addicted to this channel lol!
Got my 89 year old Dad watching your videos! Really enjoys them, thanks!
44:23 you know that you're hard core when you use a moose antler as a cutting board. Great spring time fishing trip, rain, moose, loons, camp fires and cooking a fresh catch, yum, yum, yum.
There's nothing like fresh fish and the sound of loons! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us Shawn I can't wait to make time to get out and fish this year, you're videos are always inspiring well done :)
I regret only being able to give one thumb towards this video, made my coffee time all the sweeter...
Looking forward to a new video! Thx James. Greetings from Holland
James is his last name...☺
So...i had that correct...Parker
Been waiting all week for your video, glad it is another long one. Sad not to see Cali but I am sure she is having a great time with your wife. Please don't get sick while on your trip. Look forward to seeing you back at the cabin next week.
Loving the sound of the Loons. That's straight magic, there.
Thank you so much for sharing your trip, absolutely beutiful.
Have been lost in your world for the past hour...absolutely wonderful... thank you so much for sharing Shawn...looking forward to the next part! Going to check out Jim's & Ted's versions next lol!
Man, that's a trip of a lifetime...Definitely on my bucket list...Looking forward to the next episode...
My bucket list also👍Definitely a trip of a lifetime ! And Shawn sure takes us all there ! I sooo love it ! Always will !👍
This is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. The loons are just magical. I love the way they sound. I know that making this was an unbelievable amount of work because it is absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing this with us. 💖
I have always been outdoors kind of person, in touch with nature kind of person. But for a while now, actually for years, I have been pulling away from all of that because of the rollercoster of day to day routine living in city etc. You have kind of woken up that side of me again. Thank you for that.
Well shot and beautiful scenery AS always, keep it up! 🙏
Fantastic one hour. The quiet, real wild life! No roads/cars,cell phones
Thanks for taking me with you Shawn, that was fun.
my most favorite things to do canoeing, camping, and fishing.. rain makes it a little miserable. Canada has some beautiful wilderness. I really wish I was with you guys
Incredible scenery. Glad you guys had a great time. Thanks for sharing.
What a great trip! I loved this! Thanks for taking us with you!!!
Absolutely wonderful! I've been to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota to canoe but now this really makes me want to go to Canada for a trip.
Nothing short of spectacular. The scenery and sounds absolutely gorgeous. Quick paddling in that one spot for sure. The sounds of the loons can be so eerie and yet soothing at the same time. Nice surprise seeing Scott,Griff and Bill. Nice to see you out on a adventure. Thanks for sharing.😘🛶
Oh wow, such beautiful scenery. Thanks so much for taking us all along for the ride. I can’t wait to see the continued part
Bet it made all the winter snows and spring rains worth it! Thanks for taking me along, along with hundreds of thousands of other subscribers and incidental viewers. As always, stay safe.
Shawn This ia a great video. Thanks so much for sharing.
you guys are definitely getting your hiking workout in...it reminds me of Boy Scouts when I was a kid
Good morning, your videos are Epicly beautiful wow!♥💜♥
I am paralyzed from post vehicle accident in 2012 and depression takes me a lot but I can't let anyone of the family see what is happening maybe they stopped valuing me being around , sometimes I drink to feel better and sometimes nothing seems to be helping, I guess I move around a lot but no satisfaction ,when I am watching your videos, the way you work and at the end of the day when you rock back it's really inspiring, at least for me.
Your videos make me feel like I have accomplished something because you makes life so easy of course it's hard work that pays off in the end and again you makes it simple for your viewers. I love and enjoy every one of your videos ( entertainment , educational , skills , a lot of common sense ) which you passed on.
Always awaiting your next video
I’ve wondered what Ted & Jim have been up to since winning Alone dual survivor. Glad to see them out in the bush.
awesome video Shawn. You are truly living the dream!
My television is prepared to listen too the YOUTube channels with headsets.
So when you were by the water it was so relaxing.
I fell asleep off and on, it was like I was there.
Beautiful segment of your camping fishing🐟 adventure.
Thank you❗
BE SAFE❗
ALWAYS THUMBS UP❗
🙏👍❤
Shawn, thank you for taking me with you on this trip! I'm disabled for 23 years, but when I'm watching your videos, I forget about it)
Wow that was beautiful appreciate you sharing i'll be watching for more
My parents and grandparents, my sister and I would camp from the early 1950s in the mid and upper part of Michigan's lower peninsula. It was pristine country and many folks that lived in the outlying areas still had hand pump wells and outhouses. Fishing was great, plenty of wildlife and plentiful firewood. I wish I could revisit those times. I thank you so much for taking this video - I did not want it to end.
Hello Shawn, wow nice great picks and really appreciate your efforts with the camera take care and thank you
When the vido started, I told myself "What, an hour and eleven, that is insane"... Then I started to watch... And watched...
This bring so much memories to me! The last time I did some canoes trips like that, I was in my early 20 and a rock climbing monitor in a summer camp in the middle of a triangle betwenn Montreal, Ottawa and St-Jovite/Mont Tremblant. I'm now 62, so it's been a while. We where doing 4 days of canoes on the "Rivière Rouge", a kind of jamboree for two days with three other groups and then 4 days of rock climbing.
I'm now overweigth and out of shape but this help to motivate me to get back in shape. It's too late for me to go on canoes trip like that but if I can just get back in shape enough to enjoy life and the outdoor a bit more, that would be great!
Great video, a welcome distraction from getting my video edited. I should have it up tomorrow.
Awesome.
The most breathGIVING beauty on you tube people! Much appreciation and gratitute for the sights and sounds and goings on in the canadian topography!! Nature at her finest.
I followed you from Algonquin Adventures for your canoeing videos, so I'm happy to see some more of that! Love you channel and all of your content! Look forward to the next one!
P.S. I had a loon swim after my lure on Linda Lake in Algonquin. It was such an odd experience. Luckily didn't hook it!
Stunning !! So much wild countryside, so quiet and tranguill and than that beautiful sound the loons make. We have loons too, but a different kind . Miss your dog :-)!
Wow, and it's a superlong episode! So excited to watch this.
Takes me back to my canoeing days on Lake Of The Woods 27 years ago. We’d roll out of bed and take off in the canoe for an hour before work... and then camping on islands during the summer. I miss paddling and the loons, grebes and herons. This is a wonderful video. Love it.. every bit.
Thx for bringing us along. I enjoyed every second.
Love the recent collaborations you've been doing with Jim and Ted. The 3 of you have a natural chemistry doing these trips and I love your storytelling through the lens. Thanks for sharing!
you made this video exclusively for me thanks lots of nature sounds and sights I know you really didn't but you would if you could
I love seeing how you're getting on and how you live there, truly appreciated, thanks from England
Hi Shawn, nice to see you out in the canoe again. I love the cabin but I must admit I do miss your canoe trips. Just about to watch the video, I know it will be awesome. I was in for 4 days that week also. I was actually standing behind you and the brothers at the permit office. Ha-ha.. Anyhow take care Shawn, hello to Cali.
God has blessed us with nature, beautiful nature!
This is my kind of video, I enjoyed every minute of it. I missed your dog.
Every single man should challenge himself spending 7 days in the nature. Thank you for existing Shawn James
congratulations your videos are excellent, the places you visited spectacular, good fishing, greetings 👍🏻
Thanks Shawn: I'm overwhelmed by the shear beauty & solitude of your trip. The meals & the adventurous water were so tangible that I could feel them. Now I know the best Algonquin has to offer. Thanks so much Brian 78
Going to the forest and watching them in these videos is also interesting
Elizabeth L. Johnson said, Love, love, love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially shots of wildlife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greatest thing though? Your many mini-grins!!!!!!!!!!!! Obvious you are VERY happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love seeing the fluffy wuffy dog in the canoe! Missing Cali, though .
Yea that's a gorgeous doggie!
@@Jbuss0679 Thanks a lot, he recently passes away which was very sad but I'm running a series about a big adventure him and I did in 2018 to commemorate him.
What river is that? It is scary swift. My father fished the south fork of I think it was the Boise River in Idaho when I was. a child. We were heading home to the Sawtooth mining town of Atlanta, he fishing all the 100 miles home in sporadic sections since my mother never drove. Dad was one of those naturals who caught fish when no one else did. I’m now in my 87th year and I remember him so well..
Love your videos. It is nice to hear that you miss your Cali and will make it up to her when you get home. Enjoyed watching you fish and have fun with your two friends.
Love your content , much respect to you, sir
What a adventure you are the man when it comes to fishing beautiful scenery unbelievable country good times with friends memories life's all about memories
What a fantastic trip. I know you really enjoyed it. Good friends, beautiful water, and good food. What more could one ask for?
Oh Wow Shawnee, I really loved and thoroughly enjoyed the brotherhood between you all. Nature is so fantastic, and it looked so peaceful. My kind of life. A time to reflect and enjoy and count your lucky stars that you get to live your life in nature and live on the healthy food God Almighty provides. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful experience you are all having.
I am sure Callie really misses you as much as you miss her and we miss her. She will be so excited to see you get home. I do hope you will video that homecoming. I love her, she is so adorable.😘
The walk along the river bank was fantastic. Campsites look well established and paths are clear. Cali turned white?! Another relaxing video, to which your calm speech pattern contributes. I keep watching for signs of wife. Hope your hand heals, you’ve been amazingly accident free. Appreciate all your efforts to share your story. My First comment, Mary
My way of camping! You do the paddling, the fishing, the cooking, the portages, the rapids and I enjoy the beautiful views. This is one seriously outstanding video of a week to cherish. Thanks for taking us along.
Congrats on your growth Shawn... well deserved.
Epic trip with the Baird Brothers... Those Brookies were giant!
You guys ran that water like the pro's you are... no one got "hooped" lol! TFS
I'm glad you got to go. I know you're always in the wilderness but I'm sure these trips feel great like they do for us. I love the woods and the water.
Really enjoyed this Bushcraft adventure into the depths of Algonquin..
Great vid title too
Now thats what I am talking about. Fresh trout on a canoe campout trip. Wow, good eating. Sweet fresh trout. Yum...........
Thats Incredible,beautiful,challenging,exciting,great way to relax. Thanks for showing us this incredible trip.
Ahhh, another amazing video! Makes my heart sing. I completely understand about not taking Callie and you are so thoughtful to even consider making it up to her. That one lake with no fish .... just stunning.... it was almost like an affront to make any noise there- it was that serene. I’m glad your illness didn’t seem to bother you. All that wonderful scenery and good fishing is good for what ails ya LOL.
Shawn, great video and experience....for you and us! Thank you.
Great first episode! From the other comments, you are improving the spirits of so many people. Thank you for sharing. I have a 10 day trip with my eldest son planned in the BWCA in late September. Your videos help me endure the wait. I love the cabin videos but the tripping is my favorite. Thanks again.
What a good way to start the day. 👍 coffee and a canoe trip 😁.
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful and beautiful videos you make for us. I have always loved camping and fishing, but age and physical health has prevented me from doing it anymore. I get to live my dreams through your adventures and cannot thank you enough for them. Please continue to take us along on your epic journeys and adventures. God Bless each and every one of you for bringing so much joy and peace to this old heart that only the pristine beauty of nature can bring.
When you get home, Cali's gonna give you such a look.... like you cheated on her. Lol.
Lol. Definitely. She's probably thinking, he's gone and left me. I'm with mum and my sisters. I adore them too but I wanna be with my daddy. It's more fun and freedom.
Thanks, Shawn. I really enjoyed going along with you on this trip. I could almost smell the trees and taste the trout! So relaxing.
Thanks for sharing your trip that was beautiful!!!!
One of the best vid so far Mr James. Long walk home in some cases.
Note: Loons are very territorial. Only one nesting couple per lake. Others may visit but they don't stay. Family Visit. They will also drown ducklings. They are an awesome bird.
