Beautiful scenery and great attitudes. You and Torry gel so well. I felt for Buck having to cross the freezing water, he needed treats for not complaining and for completing those awful tasks. I hope his limping isn't anything serious - no back injury or hip injury or torn foot pads. Question: why could you not stay over one day at the cabin as to dry out your blisters, dry all gear and clothing and just rest up? Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next trip. Hugs to all 3 of you.
I can commiserate with you and those ridiculously heavy packs: when I thru-hiked the Applachian Trail(in the USA) in 1998, my starting pack weighed 70 pounds. I weighed over 330 pounds. When I finished, my pack weighed less than 30 pounds and I weighed 196 pounds. What views, what adversity you three overcame, what memories you formed..an epic adventure as always. I love this channel.
Since 98 technology has advanced. Now base packs with all this high tech gear is 22 pounds I feel you though. I did the IAT in Wisconsin base weight 32 pounds my back was done for
I know this was a few years ago but you guys are rockstars. All the challenges you faced both mentally & physically. Says so much about your characters, drive & determination. What beautiful countryside. RIP Buck. He sure was a good boy I am sure he is greatly missed. ♥️
I had to laugh at Buck not moving on the morning of Day 6 as the both of you started on your hike. It was almost like he was saying "I'm just going to take a rest day, I'll catch up with you later." 😊😊
Like most of us we love our coffee. I see you carry a lot of coffee making equipment. I love good coffee and use Starbuck’s instant packets. Just heat water. I think it’s delicious and so easy. No filters etc. Have you tried these?
So impressed with the three of you. Incredible journey! My husband and I are not backpackers, but we are avid outdoors enthusiasts who enjoy camping, fishing, canoeing, etc. In our sixties now and still going...but don't think I could do this trip! Amazing! I'm a jealous new subscriber. Thanks for taking me along vicariously!
You're a legend brother, simply put. You and Tory really seem to persevere and stay focused on the prize. From one backcountry camper to the next keep doing what you're doing!
Not sure if its true or not for sore blistering feet but...I use cayenne pepper for wounds. Try after a long trek to add cayenne pepper and coconut oil packed on blisters for a time. Put cayenne pepper in socks to keep feet warm. Cayenne peper is also an old remedy for joint pain and has anti-inflammatory properties. Not heavy to haul around either;)
I really dig your channel and especially the canoe trip videos. But I cringed when I saw those packs. 65 and 55lbs. Brutal. I truly believe in the mantra "hike your own hike" and if bringing all that stuff makes your trip more enjoyable then power to you. I believe in the idea that you either pack for the hiking or you pack for the camping. These days, I pack for the hiking. Epic trip!
Compared to you and Tori, my honey and I are rank amateurs. Do have a suggestion, however. Help each other load and unload your packs. Helps prevent twinges in shoulders, hips, and spine. Also relieves strain on the stitching of the straps, which increases their lifespan.
GREAT effort there wupee maan i couldnt do that and i am in good shape especially under the bright sun still i ned atleast 2 days im sure to equal that F,HUMP
Great Trip Jim, I do have one question. You filmed this in 2017 correct? What took you so long to post this, 5 years? I'm just curious. As well it was so great to see Buck again :)
Really enjoyed this, now I know it was a happy ending I’m watching it again. Omg did that blister look bad, must have been a while healing, what caused the swelling?
Tori, Jim & Buck🐾 your so right, this is something you’ll remember forever. Tori you are an amazing beautiful woman and Jim bla bla bla your always amazing but Buck the super dog stole the show, great job Buck!
What a great adventure ,thanks Jim for letting us come along!I have to say,Tori is a hell of a strong woman,you have a great partner Jim.Also enjoyed the commentary from both of you. And the superstar back packing,Buck,not one complaint from him,a great dog and team member.thank you,all🇨🇦
Jim, Tori, Buck wow you finished the trail, Awesome! Have to appreciate Tori doing this hike, I don't think most women would want to do this. Meanwhile Jims needs antibiotics for his blisters, Tori needs muscle repair on her hip and Buck is still thinking "I didn't sign up for this" 🙂thx for taking us along
Right?!?! I keep inserting cuss words when they show Buck! 😂 And I want to know what kind of boots Jim used just so I NEVER make the mistake of buying them! 😂
I have truly enjoyed watching you guys! Jim, we know you are a badass, but Torre, you rocked the hell outta that hike! So proud of both of you! Loved every aspect of this adventure!
Another GREAT Baird adventure !!! I watched both episodes. You guys are real troopers, i think i would have made it the first 100 yards and wanted to turn back. Even buck looked kinda teetered out by the time you finished. As fas as the blisters, i can’t figure out why somebody doesn’t make a hiking boot that has a soft, porous, thick, foam lining in the heel ?!?!? It would save a lot of pain and misery. As always thanks TO BOTH OF YOU.
rugged terrain for sure but isn't it beautiful, love the landscape and mountains gorgeous, awesome cabins , nice to see the curious moose as well, probably wondering what you folks were doing out there and happy to have the company . nice that you were able to have lunch with the horse packers, along the trail, and stay at that cabin for the night , That was one epic adventure congratulations Jim, Tori and Buck for , well Done people .
I appreciate that you take the time to film from every camp, helping us feel like we are part of the journey, along for the ride. Thank you for a great trip! Happy trails to you both. Be safe!
Watching for the second time it's a great video and a great accomplishment and journey creating great memories. We all felt your pain but also knew you would never give up on achieving your goal .thank you Jim and Tori for letting us share in your journeys.much gratitude love and light ❣️ Namaste 💕
17:25, love that smile Tori, making wishes come true, lol. Another excellent video from the Baird vault, it was nice seeing Buck, out in all that beautiful nature,. Brought back so many memories for me, from 1971. Thanks for sharing.
First off Congratulations! What an accomplishment. Could actually feel your exhaustion at times. The impressive part was there was no whining or complaining. Got chill bumps listening to Torrie summarize the trip at the end of the video. Way to go guys!
What a wonderful and satisfying trip! So glad you decided to release this! It was a pleasure to see Buck again. He is sorely missed. Thanks so much for sharing with us all! #keepitburning JB!
omg those blisters made me cringe, I can't imagine how sore they were, not to mention your backs and shoulders. Fantastic trip, and that scenery.....stunning, mesmerizing......just so gorgeous
Its to bad you have time limits as you could of just stayed in the cabin until you all get well rested up and wounds heal 100%,you end up putting these burdens on yourselves by rushing,takes all the fun and enjoyment out of your getaway, I would love to do it but I would not want to with a time limit, your experience would be so much better with far less suffering dear friend! Jesus bless you!
@JimBairdAdventurer, Great 2-part trip adventure! I line my pup across river crossings that deep just to be safe, in case he were to get swept with the current.
Ohh...how great to see Buck again. I named my Buck after yours and yeahh mine can be so proud of this name. Mine comes from the woods/streets of Mazedonia...got him nealy 3 years ago from the Samojed emergency Organisation...he is nealy deaf but a hell of a dog. Him and Meyla my other samojede is a dream team. Thanks for all your Videos... feels like heaven to watch.
Great partners! I remember in the military we had a long road March back from the field. My feet/ blisters were so bad. It was incredibly painful, deep and just gross. Needless to say I made it. Toughest thing I ever did. I feel for ya.
Congratulations on a really good hike. Couple of things that might help, if you get new boots, take a couple short hikes to get acquainted and make sure they fit and operate well. Foot beds really help. It looks like you had a really good blister kit. A good way to protect your feet is to get some calf high or knee high women's nylons, then put your socks over them. They will stay tight to your skin, the boots and socks will ride up and down and rub on them, not your foot. Nice video and beautiful scenery.
Good tips, I could have broken them in more but did a half decent job at doing so with the time I had. I think the blisters came because the boots are about a half size too big.
What a journey, well done and thank you so much for all your effort in making this wonderful film. I watched it over Christmas, so much better than all the other rubbish on TV.
To bad when you got to the First Nations village unless your transportation was there you still had the long hill to go up. Your trip was a real accomplishment. Well done.
Nope! Nope! Nope! Those packs are so far beyond what I could or would pack! And Jim, you should have a boot burning ceremony! 😂 And Buck may run away from home after this! 😂 I keep inserting snide comments on his behalf whenever you show him. 😂. And the smoke! Nope! I'm starting to wheeze just thinking about it! 😂
First off Congratulations! What an accomplishment. Could actually feel your exhaustion at times. The impressive part was there was no whining or complaining. Got chill bumps listening to Torrie summarize the trip at the end of the video. Way to go guys!
One time I was followed by a pack of five arctic wolves. I fired a bear banger at them and they ran away full speed. Another time I was howling while I heard other wolves Peking around me. One came out of the bushes in front of me 10 feet away and then took off.
Great video Jim. I live down the street from YO. Wildblue Yonder in Grande Cache. I do alot of hiking in the Willmore wilderness. It can be tuff. Or should I say it is tuff. Im in a program called Passport to the Peaks in Willmore. 21 peaks that you can see from Grande Cache. I have 15 done. I film them all. And have a playlist on my channel. Passport to the peaks. Im just a little RUclipsr having fun. I hope your trip to Yellowknife went well. I was raised in Yellowknife. It was nice to see Buck again. I miss him from your channel. Yours and Bucks arctic expedition was amazing. Funny Buck doesn’t like walking on bare ice. Lol. Take care. Ben OuelletOutside.
If I ever meet you guys, I feel like I would hug you! I’m a special education administrator, having worked with emotionally disturbed kids, mostly boys, for over 33 years! I’ve taken countless trips with students, whale watching, hiking, fishing, camping, you name it! Now I’m just stuck in an office! But you’ve inspired me to get back out there! I’m going to join a senior adventure club! I’ve still got it in me!! Where will I go next?! ❤ Mimi
Jim, How did you two ever meet? You could never usually meet somebody so compatible as you too. It’s just so beautiful to see❤❤❤ have an awesome hike🎉🎉
Great video, but you should have included a few scenes of the wonderful uphill ridge location of Grande Cache with a gorgeous view to the west. Suggest that you keep your well-conditioned hiking boots for your next hiking adventure, to avoid blistered heels with new stiff boots. Bring along a small bottle of liquid silicone boot polish to daily water proof the boots. FYI: the boot polish is also good to coat dry flies. From an Albertan since 1974, having fly-fished the Rocky mountain streams from Yellowstone to Grande Cache for the last 48 years.
This trip must have been several years ago... you both look younger than today, and Buck was still with you. Are you re-editing old videos and posting? Regardless it looks like you had a monster of a good time. 55#s and 65#s for pack weights are for younger people. I'm in my 60's and not so great shape and even a 40# pack would be hard for me now. After watching you mend your feet, I started to wonder how Buck was doing and how sore his feet were?
You know what will cure a feller of backpacking and convince him he needs horses and mules? Packing elk out of the brush on pack frames 3 to 5 miles off the trail in back country..90 pound hinds.. front shoulders and back straps.. Rib cage included, it's the rules here.. The hide and head, and antlers of its a bull.. Thats a lot of backpacking but one trip with a couple horses or mules.. To hell with all of that walking.. Hey, I got me a couple of canoes.. A Wee Lassie, and a wood canoe.. I kinda like that floating around stuff.. lol...
Sorry Jim and Tori, I'm new to your channel and have recently watched some of the older vid's and realize Buck has passed away. So this hike was on a later date. Anyway Buck sure seem like a great Dog! I see you have a new one now who seems beautiful as well. Also you guys have super cute kids!
Incredible effort you guys, amazing scenery, haha poor old Buck flaked out whenever you stop. Thankyou So Much for this one, I really needed it today. Much love and best wishes to you guys xo.
My first pair of "hiking boots" were actually soft leather winter boots with semi flexible souls, with 1/2" deep traction and laces up to the top of the boot ankle part. They lasted for about 20 years, never caused me blisters, and were of sufficient ankle support for uneven ground hiking for tens of kilometers per hiking trip. They likely received hundreds of treatments with boot polish liquid during these many years.
The horse packers got it right. One day travel camp fellowship relaxing enjoying. Your back packing to more like boot camp. A lot of effort miss the objective glad when it’s over. 😊
Awsome you guy's . Jim all the great blues acoustic music playing . Can you send me the bands name really appreciate. Love you guy's and your family. Shawn&Deb from the sunshine coast BC
Nice to spend time with the Buckaroo again, pulls at those heart strings. I quickly looked up the Spirit House Grave of Jacque Thappe, interestingly many Spirit House Graves in N. Wisconsin.
Sir, great hike for sure but defenetly wrong shoes. Before i go out in the hills, i wear new shoes for 15-30 km. But i think i do not have to tell that to you. (-; Take care. Alex
inpossible to follow your multi eposode adventures ,,,very frustrating,,,, ie ,ypur labrador overland advemyure ,,,,, still looking for episode two ,,,what the hell

brilliant scenery. I loved Canada when I was there and I crawled and walked through a lot of Ontario bush. God's country. Love Buck, great dog
Beautiful scenery and great attitudes. You and Torry gel so well. I felt for Buck having to cross the freezing water, he needed treats for not complaining and for completing those awful tasks. I hope his limping isn't anything serious - no back injury or hip injury or torn foot pads.

Where is North?

I enjoy seeing it again. Was Drinking The Last Time .. Hug KId's From These Old Boy ! :)
I need to look at this again i remember but was drinking that night ;) hug you two . Cool I sure look again ! Look ;) Fun !
Thanks! 👍

Since 98 technology has advanced. Now base packs with all this high tech gear is 22 pounds I feel you though. I did the IAT in Wisconsin base weight 32 pounds my back was done for
Did you start in maine or end there?
Looks incredibly beautiful, the pup didn’t seem overly motivated at the start of the morning!
I know this was a few years ago but you guys are rockstars. All the challenges you faced both mentally & physically. Says so much about your characters, drive & determination. What beautiful countryside. RIP Buck. He sure was a good boy I am sure he is greatly missed. ♥️
The dynamic duo!
Torrie is a badass. Buck was such a great dog. I was so happy you found another cabin. Just to be able to dry out for a little bit.
I had to laugh at Buck not moving on the morning of Day 6 as the both of you started on your hike. It was almost like he was saying "I'm just going to take a rest day, I'll catch up with you later." 😊😊

Rip buck what a great dog!

Howdy welcome to thy rockies they are tuff
Just love your true to life documentaries. It took so much stamina to complete the trail and navigating those streams was no small feat. Thank you.
You're a legend brother, simply put.
You and Tory really seem to persevere and stay focused on the prize. From one backcountry camper to the next keep doing what you're doing!
What a great adventure. Tori did it all with you. Seeing Buck again brought a tear to my eye.
Great trip! Nice to see Buckaroo again. Tori you were the comic relief on this one.
You guys got guts! Bravo! 👏🏻
Tough !!👍🏼
Not sure if its true or not for sore blistering feet but...I use cayenne pepper for wounds. Try after a long trek to add cayenne pepper and coconut oil packed on blisters for a time.

Love love these videos!! You guys are awesome. We adore your dog Buck and wondered what breed is he? Such a beautiful dog.
Such a thrill to watch the adventure unfold (from my couch nonetheless 😂). And, man, that blister was horrifying! Congrats!
Compared to you and Tori, my honey and I are rank amateurs. Do have a suggestion, however. Help each other load and unload your packs. Helps prevent twinges in shoulders, hips, and spine. Also relieves strain on the stitching of the straps, which increases their lifespan.
Buckarooooo!!!
I am so jealous of your relationship
GREAT effort there wupee maan i couldnt do that and i am in good shape especially under the bright sun still i ned atleast 2 days im sure to equal that F,HUMP
In Tori's closing monologue she said a small part of you was sad that it was over. I'm sure it was a very small part
Ha-ha-ha!😀
Great Trip Jim, I do have one question. You filmed this in 2017 correct? What took you so long to post this, 5 years? I'm just curious. As well it was so great to see Buck again :)

It literally his job to do that 😜
@@jeroenbrink4710 Not necessarily. Many with similar content do not. That's what makes his channel so great.
Tori is an absolute star !!! some of the looks she gives you Jim, are priceless. She sure puts up with some tough days, well done to all 3 of you.
Watching for the second time it's a great video and a great accomplishment and journey creating great memories. We all felt your pain but also knew you would never give up on achieving your goal .thank you Jim and Tori for letting us share in your journeys.much gratitude love and light ❣️ Namaste 💕
As brutal as that looked I would have given anything to tag along with you guys! Great video! Great partnership between you both and Buck! 👍🏼🥾
Thanks for taking us along on the journey. You guys are awesome!😁❤
17:25, love that smile Tori, making wishes come true, lol. Another excellent video from the Baird vault, it was nice seeing Buck, out in all that beautiful nature,. Brought back so many memories for me, from 1971. Thanks for sharing.
WOW - What a great adventure -- You make a great team.-- Congratulations. Well Done !!
Big thanks! This was very team building indeed. We got married not king afterwards.
First off Congratulations! What an accomplishment. Could actually feel your exhaustion at times. The impressive part was there was no whining or complaining. Got chill bumps listening to Torrie summarize the trip at the end of the video. Way to go guys!
What a wonderful and satisfying trip! So glad you decided to release this! It was a pleasure to see Buck again. He is sorely missed. Thanks so much for sharing with us all! #keepitburning JB!
Tori almost enviously looking at the packhorses like: “This looks way better! next time, I wanna be on one of those”. XD
omg those blisters made me cringe, I can't imagine how sore they were, not to mention your backs and shoulders. Fantastic trip, and that scenery.....stunning, mesmerizing......just so gorgeous

@JimBairdAdventurer, Great 2-part trip adventure! I line my pup across river crossings that deep just to be safe, in case he were to get swept with the current.
Thanks a lot and that sounds like a good idea
That was amazing. You two have such strong wills. Thanks for bringing us along!
Absolutely amazing and beautiful. Buck is so adorable with his pack on. I enjoy all your video's immensely.
Tori is the BOMB!! Respect!
❤❤❤❤very good video, greetings from Surabaya, Indonesia, I hope the channel will be more successful... Enjoy blogging😊😊😊
Thanks 😊
nice .
i'd stay there :)
Epic trip both (and dear Buck)!
That ol Buck was a hell-of-a Dog!
Mii-gwetch, thank you again for taking us along on your adventure. Love how real you both are. Congrats on your 100 mile trek!
That was a beautiful hike. Congratulations. That was a great accomplishment. Thanks guys
Such an amazing and challenging adventure. It was a little bittersweet with seeing Buck there, but a nice reminder of what a great dog he was.
so lets look again
Ohh...how great to see Buck again. I named my Buck after yours and yeahh mine can be so proud of this name. Mine comes from the woods/streets of Mazedonia...got him nealy 3 years ago from the Samojed emergency Organisation...he is nealy deaf but a hell of a dog. Him and Meyla my other samojede is a dream team.
Thanks for all your Videos... feels like heaven to watch.
Aww, that’s adorable! I had two Samoyeds when I was born and and grew up with them.
Great partners! I remember in the military we had a long road March back from the field. My feet/ blisters were so bad. It was incredibly painful, deep and just gross. Needless to say I made it. Toughest thing I ever did. I feel for ya.
Ya, blisters can be just brutal. I had one like this on each foot.
indeed ! Cool Kid
Congratulations on a really good hike. Couple of things that might help, if you get new boots, take a couple short hikes to get acquainted and make sure they fit and operate well. Foot beds really help. It looks like you had a really good blister kit. A good way to protect your feet is to get some calf high or knee high women's nylons, then put your socks over them.

You’re very welcome
What an amazing journey!! All 3 of you, are hard core, well done. Has your bodies healed yet, after al, this time😉
will
Your girl is a true trooper, good job
Absolutely, thanks a lot
WOW Thx for the awesome video you guys are special together, what a amazing trip
You’re very welcome!
To bad when you got to the First Nations village unless your transportation was there you still had the long hill to go up. Your trip was a real accomplishment. Well done.

Just think of those guys that pioneered the Rockies back in the day. That dog would’ve started looking tasty to them eventually 😆😆
First off Congratulations! What an accomplishment. Could actually feel your exhaustion at times. The impressive part was there was no whining or complaining. Got chill bumps listening to Torrie summarize the trip at the end of the video. Way to go guys!
Yes! The video affected me the same. The summary, also, gave me chills💓
Good old Buck. Tori and you kicked ass. Thanks for sharing this oldie but goodie. Blessings to all.
Grande Cache, AB local, just saying hi!
Niice! Thanks a lot. Beautiful backyard you have there
Jim, what has your experience been with wolves on your trips ?
One time I was followed by a pack of five arctic wolves. I fired a bear banger at them and they ran away full speed. Another time I was howling while I heard other wolves Peking around me. One came out of the bushes in front of me 10 feet away and then took off.
Wow !! You guys are the awesome !!! Love all the videos , thank you
You’re welcome!!
Great video Jim. I live down the street from YO. Wildblue Yonder in Grande Cache. I do alot of hiking in the Willmore wilderness. It can be tuff. Or should I say it is tuff.

a Time You Will remember : :)
Amazingly awesome!
Hard on the body and good for the soul.
Congratulations!
That river was something. Man! Buck! What a good dog. Buck is tired. What troopers you all are. Yikes on the blisters. Wow to the packs.
Great video, but you should have included a few scenes of the wonderful uphill ridge location of Grande Cache with a gorgeous view to the west. Suggest that you keep your well-conditioned hiking boots for your next hiking adventure, to avoid blistered heels with new stiff boots.

This trip must have been several years ago... you both look younger than today, and Buck was still with you. Are you re-editing old videos and posting?
Regardless it looks like you had a monster of a good time. 55#s and 65#s for pack weights are for younger people. I'm in my 60's and not so great shape and even a 40# pack would be hard for me now. After watching you mend your feet, I started to wonder how Buck was doing and how sore his feet were?
You know what will cure a feller of backpacking and convince him he needs horses and mules? Packing elk out of the brush on pack frames 3 to 5 miles off the trail in back country..90 pound hinds.. front shoulders and back straps.. Rib cage included, it's the rules here.. The hide and head, and antlers of its a bull.. Thats a lot of backpacking but one trip with a couple horses or mules.. To hell with all of that walking.. Hey, I got me a couple of canoes.. A Wee Lassie, and a wood canoe.. I kinda like that floating around stuff.. lol...
Sorry Jim and Tori, I'm new to your channel and have recently watched some of the older vid's and realize Buck has passed away. So this hike was on a later date. Anyway Buck sure seem like a great Dog! I see you have a new one now who seems beautiful as well. Also you guys have super cute kids!
Wonderful. 🙌🙌🙌
Incredible effort you guys, amazing scenery, haha poor old Buck flaked out whenever you stop. Thankyou So Much for this one, I really needed it today.
Much love and best wishes to you guys xo.
My first pair of "hiking boots" were actually soft leather winter boots with semi flexible souls, with 1/2" deep traction and laces up to the top of the boot ankle part. They lasted for about 20 years, never caused me blisters, and were of sufficient ankle support for uneven ground hiking for tens of kilometers per hiking trip. They likely received hundreds of treatments with boot polish liquid during these many years.
The horse packers got it right. One day travel camp fellowship relaxing enjoying. Your back packing to more like boot camp. A lot of effort miss the objective glad when it’s over. 😊
Awsome you guy's . Jim all the great blues acoustic music playing . Can you send me the bands name really appreciate. Love you guy's and your family. Shawn&Deb from the sunshine coast BC
Nice to spend time with the Buckaroo again, pulls at those heart strings. I quickly looked up the Spirit House Grave of Jacque Thappe, interestingly many Spirit House Graves in N. Wisconsin.
Sir, great hike for sure but defenetly wrong shoes. Before i go out in the hills, i wear new shoes for 15-30 km. But i think i do not have to tell that to you. (-; Take care. Alex
