Great Jim good trip down the river , thanks for showing us the black Smith sho and making the fire poker 👍, good too see the family again , up down up down he's leaning his words 👍
Great trip thanks for sharing. I like to see that you are using your local blacksmith. This is how we keep those trades in play. Hudson is so cute. ❤️🇨🇦
I think you are an adrenalin addict ! But your whitewater paddling skills are amazing, and your ability to read the water. This river so close to your home must be really great to improve and maintain the technical skills.
What a great video man! I love how you are combining canoe tripping with other "old-world" subjects. We have to keep these skills and lifestyles alive. I many cases we would all be better off returning to these. Cool canoe. Awesome river. Great Stuff!
This was a very entertaining and enlightening video, Jim. I loved the whitewater as usual, I love the explanations you give while you're scouting as well, always love learning from a pro like you; and the blacksmithing was super interesting, I look forward to your trips downriver! Thanks for bringing us along.
Really like how you break down the water and how you pick your routes down rapids. Super interesting. Have always been fascinated by blacksmiths and their skills. Cool experience.
It is such a beautiful area up that way and the river with it's variouse rapids and gorgeouse shorlines you and your family are so blessed to live on a piece of the Magnetawan river. Love watching you canoing through the rapids its exciting yet scary in piticular that huge one OMG .Chris sure has a unique job and is excelent at what he does very nice. very cool to watch him at work & what a beautiful poker / coal raker he made with Tori's name on it. I could see she was happy as well. Happy Birthday Tori. Thanks for taking us along. Ontario Canada.
Loved the trip back in time, I enjoyed both the canoe trip and watching a craftsman at work - what a true artisan! Loved seeing the little ones at the end, too! Happy belated birthday to Tori!
This is a great video. I love the magnetawan river. Always dark water and good fishing. I have been on the mag near Burks falls and Katrine and Doe lake. Love it there.
Jim, My family has a rich history on your beloved Mag. We owned property near the Thirties and have lived, fished, immersed ourselves in Miner Lake with much fervor. My great grandfather was killed by a competitor outfitter at the base of the Thirties. My wife is a Sudburian but now lives with me in Greenville, SC. I have been inspired by your video to purchase the squirrel stick for future trips Norte and other trips closer to home. We won't be making it home this year😢 since my son is entering university. Maybe next year... Go forth, Sir.
Love it! What a run down those rapids and then to finish off making a very cool fire poker at a blacksmith. And then the stars of the show Hudson and Wesley ending it off. I think they'll have their own channel soon. LOL!
G'day Jim. Hope you and the family are well. Been a while since i have left a comment. Enjoyed the video thank you. Just thought to say hi. Cheers from OZ, Evan.
It's very cool that you used the waterways and went thru a culvert, then traveled through what may have been major waterways for Indigenous and others who may have been trappers, loggers, and blacksmiths, and then really bring it home to Tori with her name stamped on it, Happy Birthday Tori! An epic journey. It's just sad about the fire bans, and the people having to flee their homes. Back in those days, they didn't have helicopters and fire retardants, so it is a blessing to have both the old and new ways to conquer forest fires.
I agree and I’m glad you get it. It definitely was a river they drove logs down at different times over the course of a couple hundred years and there is rich First Nations history on it indeed too.
Happy belated birthday Tori.Enjoyed the video Jim I love the education you give us I think you would make an excellent outdoor education teacher more young people need to being doing this. Take care 🙂🇨🇦👍👍👍
Great video. I like to see how you process what you will do in certain parts of the water. It gives me a smidge of anxiety watching it all but it's so beautiful and interesting to see. I can't imagine doing a Portage...actually I can't imagine doing most of what you and Tori do but I love to see it all. The Blacksmith is awesome and Love how Hudson was talking to the camera.
What a neat idea to paddle down the river to the blacksmith like they did in the old days. Some of those rapids were quite the challenge! You're an expert at it Jim! Loved little Huddy talking up a storm! Great video!
I'm always looking for a new video Jim, keep them coming!!! I'm to old to be doing such things but always loved hunting and fishing years ago. Nice job on those rapids and yes, you should have had your "canoe cover". Happy Birthday to Tori and it is unbelieveable how big your boys are getting and Huddy talking already. Just wait for all the questions. :) Keep on keeping on. Good Luck.
Huddy is something! Haha! Happy Birthday Tori. Love your present! Thanks Jim for the adventure. Thanks Chris. Love it when Jim goes to visit you. I was wondering how you were going to get back up river. Gotta love trucks and roads!
Yes a teacher. Sorry I skipped a word.😂 You explain things so well and kids love that. Even if you went into classrooms to share some of your stories , the children will eat them up.
Joyous Birthday Blessings Tori!!! May your day be filled with many sweet surprises and a extra slice of cake... The ending was so sweet❤.y goodness those two precious boys are sprouting up.
I bought my first canoe this month... Now I want a smaller one! I bought a Wenonah Spirit 2 but it's 17' and now I want one of those 15' solos!! I wouldn't do whitewater, nearest rivers have class 1s for me to learn on! You're such an inspiration, Jim! Thanks for sharing so many adventures! Edit: if you're ever south of the border, come visit me in northern Minnesota! Come to think of it, I might love more north than you. Or at least at similar latitudes.
I was Portaging to the Canadian Consulate in Sao Paulo Brasil this AM. To get there, I had to portage Rua John Baird ! I thought of you when I saw the sighn ps I remember the vid with the axe .😮 Mike. 🇨🇦
Great video! It's awesome to see you and Chris in action in your crafts! And your two sons rock! Looking forward to the next one .. oh, and tell Tori that Sabrina says Hello!
@@JimBairdAdventurer I still prefer "'flat" color profile on GoPro, You should also consider it. Its more natural and more looks like mirrorless camcorder ;)
I think my favorite part was...you didn't dump it 100 yards from your house. Lol. Seriously though, thanks for the history lesson so close to your own home. Hope the fires subside soon.
Amateur here! I really appreciate your foresight and skills in navigating a river. Really enjoy your skills in not only canoeing but video skills. You bring excitement to running a river. I had a ball running the CO river at Catamount last summer. I'm at a skill level where I just see what your doing and your teaching me a lot. Its so cool how you and your wife bring the kids out and show me areas of the North that are amazing. Sorry----I'm excited to get on the water asap
Thanks for your videos. How does the Supernova stack against other solo whitewater canoes you have paddled? Just curious. Thanks again for sharing your adventures.
Enjoy your videos. How does the Supernova rate among the solo whitewater canoes you've owned? I'm looking around for one. Thanks again for sharing your adventures. 2:37
You call yourself an adventurer, yet you won't paddle with dog sh&t swirling around for five hours in your boat lol jk. Thanks for sharing again. Great video 🥳
Well, my wife runs canoeing classes with ten participants each and a couple instructors so that takes a lot of canoes! Then, I have this solo whitewater canoe, two 15’ prospectors and an 18’ prospector. My dad recently gave me his square back fibreglass cargo canoe too, so, I think about 12. Ideally I’d have a 17’ prospector for tandem tripping made of TuffStuff Expedition, a tandem whitewater specific canoe, an 18’ or more long prospector for family trips. A 15’ Prospector in a whitewater savvy material for long solo wilderness trips. Another lightweight canoe that’s good for soloing (but can be paddled tandem too) for backcountry trout fishing trips where there’s lots of portaging and finally a solo whitewater specific canoe which is what I recently got and used in this vid!
@@JimBairdAdventurer cool I would love a nice light solo canoe. A friend of mines says 2 more canoes than whatever you currently have is enough canoes. His garden is full 😂. So cool that Tori runs classes, do you ever show up as a special guest?
Thanks a lot for tuning in! Please share your favourite part of this video and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel for more!
what's that thing on your helmmet ?
My favorite part is the helmet camera view when you are canoeing. 🥳
My favorite part is when you and the blacksmith worked together. I love how he shared his trade with you.
@@mauriceboucher2221 That's a camera, it's how I get all the forward-looking shots of me running the rapids.
@@philphilison1623 Nice, thanks a lot!
Good Saturday Jim, Tori, Wesley, Hudson, North and Chris.
🎉Happy Birthday Tori!🎉🎁🎂
👍🏞🌅🌊️🚣🎣
Adventure time! 🛶 🙌
I started Blacksmithing at 55. It keeps the lunatic in my head from getting thru the door. Appreciate this vid and your ‘local’ Blacksmith visit.
Perfect, it seems you can really do anything if you’re a blacksmith
Great Jim good trip down the river , thanks for showing us the black Smith sho and making the fire poker 👍, good too see the family again , up down up down he's leaning his words 👍
Hello. I think I have watch you carry (portage) your canoe, as much as you paddle! You are a tough bugger M. Jim.
Happy Belated Birthday to TORI !!! Man YOU go all out JIMBO !!! This is a sweet Birthday Gift for the wife of yours !!!
Happy belated birthday Tori, I just had my birthday on 6/23 and I still make time for y’all videos that I enjoy so much. Thanks! 👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

Great to hear, thanks
Great trip thanks for sharing. I like to see that you are using your local blacksmith. This is how we keep those trades in play. Hudson is so cute.
❤️🇨🇦
Absolutely and I hope I can also get some more people interested in his business that see him on the video.
Hello from Melbourne Australia 🦘🐍. Enjoy the shows.🌄
"Yeahhhhhhh!!!" The run by the bridge

Happy Belated Birthday, Tori!! Yeaaaaah!

Jim, new fan just wanted to say u are a great man wish there were more like u. Great vids keep on truckin luv from Michigan ❤
I think you are an adrenalin addict ! But your whitewater paddling skills are amazing, and your ability to read the water. This river so close to your home must be really great to improve and maintain the technical skills.
Love watching someone display their craft
White Water and Blacksmith! Awesome Video! 👍👊
Thanks a lot! I though it was a pretty great day myself
What a great video man! I love how you are combining canoe tripping with other "old-world" subjects. We have to keep these skills and lifestyles alive. I many cases we would all be better off returning to these. Cool canoe. Awesome river. Great Stuff!
The first time you showed Chris on your channel, it was so cool to watch. Watching a master work at their craft is one of life's simplest joys.
I agree, thanks for watching
Beautifully done! Am looking forward to meeting you and your family…
Awesome footage Jim 👍
The art of the hands and mind 🇨🇦🍁🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
The Vermonter

The whole video is absolutely great, passing through the rapids in 4K is amazing, as if I was there myself
That’s really great to hear
I like the ending too! Lol

Kudos to the camera angles, overhead etc.
You never disappoint me with your video's!!!!! Really enjoyed this thank you!
Just started watching Home in the wild, great first two episodes!
Awesome
Really cool! Love the squirrel cooker, I'm going to order one.
Nice! Ya, it’s great.
Great adventure loving it
Jim,
My family has a rich history on your beloved Mag. We owned property near the Thirties and have lived, fished, immersed ourselves in Miner Lake with much fervor. My great grandfather was killed by a competitor outfitter at the base of the Thirties. My wife is a Sudburian but now lives with me in Greenville, SC. I have been inspired by your video to purchase the squirrel stick for future trips Norte and other trips closer to home. We won't be making it home this year😢 since my son is entering university. Maybe next year...
Go forth, Sir.

I’ve said it many times,I’ll say it again Jim, you’re an animal.
Good stuff as always!
Stay safe.
Thank you sir!
Very much enjoyed this show. Chris is an expert in his field, and you're pretty good on those rapids.
Another great video! Always appreciate the fishing mixed in. You are a true inspiration to just get outside and get er' done
What a great video! Chris is a stud and the products he makes are amazing. Thanks Big Jim for sharing
You’re very welcome, this is amazing indeed. Good guy too.
Best ending to any of your vids by far 😊
Awesome video in general too
Always awesome to ride along🤠

What a cool journey. And with a end result in a hand-made tool. Enjoyable video.
your filming is incredible had us captivated every second.

I love Wesley, but that Hudson is too fuckin’ cute sometimes, bro.
It’s out of control
Ask your vet but canned pumpkin good for bowels
I’ve heard. We think he ate some grapes which are toxic to dogs but not enough to do any serious damage fortunately. He’s better now.
what about for the next installment of stepping back in time you do a 3 camera scripted car fight with ted
What is a car fight?

great video, i would rather just hear the sounds of nature and water though, not some dramatic music straight out of a 2010’s compilation video😂
Fair enough…. But most of that music was old country or other old times music so you’re wrong about the 2010’s compilation video haha
The kiddos are growing like weeds.. So big so fast. We don't enjoy them everyday. He talking already.
