I just found your site, and just finished watching the 4 hours of your river ride in the Yukon. Just amazing how terrific your video work is….always amazed how you do the drone videos from above as you fight the rapids, or head out in the airplane. I am old enough to be your grandfather, but am living through your incredible talent. I just loved how low keyed your comments were, along with music that was never overpowering. Looking forward to watching more of your outstanding work. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

Wow, you a fearless mountain man no doubt, i watched with my kids, we loved it. Your connection with the real beauty of this place is genuine, & felt. You did a tremendous job with your footage. Thanks man!

Hello Jim. My first time on your channel. KZread suggested this video and I clicked it. At first, I thought, 2 hours, I'll skip over most of it, but I didn't. For me I enjoyed the tranquillity of the adventure and the scouting way of making camp every day. Enjoyed the hikes up those pretty desolate and beautiful mountains and the fishing. At the end of the 2 hours I realised, oh heck, I'm in for 4, lol. Just completed Episode 2 and I must congratulate you on your filming and time taken to show every detail, angle and aspect of your adventure. I'll never get to the Yukon, live in Cape Town, but you did it for us, thanks. All the best. Cheers.

You’re very welcome and it’s great to hear you enjoyed it from South Africa! That’s awesome to hear.

hell-of-nice-run ! Thanks for taking us on your journey . Be safe and keep living life , If you don't do it today , you might kick yourself later . You are showing a life a few have made , and some of us have wanted to but never were able to !

2:08..... uses a spoon upside down to stir his coffee... comical genius!! You are so funny Jim!

“Keep working” you are not working Jim, you are living the dream my friend !!! Looks like the channel is growing and you’re doing good but we all know it takes time, effort and a ton of dedication to get to where you are. We all love your video’s, especially the longer ones ie. 3+ hours. I’m sure it is a LOT of work, setting up cameras, getting angles correct, going back to pick up cameras and the seemingly endless hours and days of editing. Keep up the AWESOME WORK dude and be fucking careful out there.

I fell asleep in my recliner watching something unrelated. When i woke, you were on the screen about 15 minutes in. i watched the whole thing.! Sent the link to my fern hopping daughter! You rock! music selection is astounding, along with superb video quality!! I'll be back! Thanks!

“NAILED IT!!!” And not just your morning coffee! The first time I watched you run these final rapids, the suspense and music made me very nervous - the adrenalin was pumping and my pulse had to be elevated. You were successful in running the Class IV’s and their huge wave train, as well as creating fear in me as a viewer. Mission accomplished! Glad to watch it again on Special Episode 2.0!!! 👍👍

Thank you Jim for posting your video it’s friggin awesome nice to know that these places exist even if we don’t have a chance to go and visit.Good for you to have all these memories and visual documentation of your experiences.

Just finished the video and I loved it !!! I watched the 8 hour video a while ago and it was awesome as well. Your choice of music in this one was perfect Jim. Sort of that western, old time cowboy type music. It was perfect for the trip Jim !!!

I watched both videos entirely. What an amazing adventure. Thx for sharing.

Love all your videos,the artistic eye to outdoor adventure is irresistible.

Thank you Jim for bringing us along on your journey. Love the way you put the story together and your excellent way of commenting underways. Thanks from Norway

I watched both parts start to finish. Well done! It brought back a lot of memories flying around the north dropping off adventure seeking individuals like you. I did most of my flying out of Inuvik into the Firth, Anderson, Mackenzie and where the Peel veers off from the Mackenzie. Some of the best times of my flying career were up in the NWT and the Yukon. Now I live in Bangkok Thailand flying big aircraft which is not nearly as fun as the days of my bush flying career! Well done and look forward to your next video!

@wesleygardner8259

Yah I think you are right. What I recall is that the Firth is beautiful. You have the tundra, mountains, wildlife, good hiking, lots of white water, etc. but if it rains while in a certain section (my memory wants to say the "canyon" section) the water comes up real fast and turns into a sheep farm on the water with all the white water. I dont recall flying in a canoe but definitely rafts and kayaks. I think its cool you end up at the Arctic Ocean and if you have never been to Herschel Island its pretty cool to check off the bucket list.

Such an awesome ending. Those last rapids were intense!

Jim, Amazing stuff! Well documented!! My perception is that you are evolving as a videographer, most especially in editing and adding music! The drone footage is terrific as well!! Having spent some time in the AK outback and other remote locations as a young man as well as engaging in numerous multiple-day (up to 9 days) unguided floating/fishing adventures in wildernesses in the lower 48, it is a pleasure to watch your adventures!! For those of us who love the wild places, it is spiritual being there! Thank you for allowing us to do it vicariously in the most wild, beautiful places!! You clearly are a master at your craft! And, while it may not be "riveting" to watch you eat oatmeal in the mornings, I can relate. P.S. I always carry along raisins to throw in mine. :)

WOW!! What an ADVENTURE IN THE YUKON!!! Thank You for sharing it!💃🏻🙏🏽🕊💪🏽❤️🛶🏕️🏔️🚶🏽‍♂️

Unbelievable trip! So beautiful and peaceful, made me feel emotional just watching you. Thanks for the great footage.

Thanks Jim for sharing your adventure. It brought me back to running the rivers in the intermountain west.

1 minute pure stand up baird comedy ! love it !

What an incredible experience. Thank you for sharing. 💯

Admirable filming.... and crooning Jim. It is a surreal environment even watching from my couch. I for one know how time consuming all those different camera shots are. But those far away canoe shots add a lot. Knowing you have to go back upstream to grab your camera. Do you do all of your own editing? Must take some time to cull all of that video. But we appreciate the work you put in. Old soul in a modern man.

00:05 This is the guy we need on our team when the apocalypse happens 👍

Water boy!!!!! Gotta love Adam Sandler. ❤❤. Jim your office views are always breathtaking.

Absolutely amazing adventure Jim . You inspired me to start my channel and post my adventure in the wilderness . Thank you for all you do and showing everyone the beauty of Nature . I also bought a few tools that you recommended long ago on a video and they were great purchases for my trips . Keep the awesome footage coming and stay safe .

Remembered until the end of my life... once again thank you, congratulations, your video has spread to all corners of the world and Kimi has reached my country, INDONESIA🇮🇩👍💥💫🎉🎊

Jim did you really think you were going to finish your adventure without facing the final boss?! lol, That was awesome how you rode it and came out on top, you do us Canadians proud!

Love the scenery, I am always in awe how God created this amazing earth for us to enjoy.

Amazing adventure. Your film and editing made me feel like I was there. Thank you. Those last rapids looked like they were trying to bury you. I don't know much about that type of stuff, but wondered why the single and not a double ended paddle.

@JimBairdAdventurer

Thanks a lot! This is a canoe, not a kayak. That’s like asking a hockey player why they’re not using a ringette stick as opposed to a hockey stick. That being said, I still have used a double blade sometimes. Big water crossing with wind and waves, and when you want to make time…they’re good to use in a canoe if you have a long one. They get in your way when trying to fish and can be a pain to carry on portages. So, def not necessary on this trip.

Thanks Jim I'm watching 👋

Great job spotting that amazing bald eagle!!!!!fricken awesome the way he just sat up there looking around from such a terrific spot.Clever & gorgeous at the same time.

You totally inspire me, thank you so much. I’m starting to elk hunt at 61 years old. I now I can do it. Thank you!!

Jim thank you for sharing this adventure. I have watch both parts this Thanksgiving day. Started off the week with 4 days off with plans of a rotation thru 3 of the remaining hunter's camps here in the Davy Crockett National forest in Texas. on the first day i felt kink of crummy when i got up. By lunch was was very tired and took a nap. that evening when went to the only non camping planned part of my time off mid way thru i felt really bad. I was running fever. two days later i am worse and give in to an ER visit. confirmed the super cold AKA none other that COVID. so i was quarantined thru Thanksgiving day. for about 3 days i have started videos and fell deep asleep. My only salvation for my 4 days of vacation was 20 minutes setting on a 5 gallon bucket in the sun with a single line in the water. I did not even try to catch the 3 catfish that hit my line. Normally on Thanksgiving my kids would come over and we would eat. Because I have been sick they chose to stay away i guess. Found your firs video about 3 PM. I watched and watched. fixed instant stuffing and had a piece of cold fried chicken while i continued to watch. the second part popped up. i continued to eat the remainder of my meal. this video lifted my spirits enough that i did go outside about 8 PM and built a small fire in my yard fire pit. I set by the and drank coffee for about an hour. then i finished your video. I love the way it ended. nearly made me shed a tear when the pilot ended up being a cut young blond.... 14 days no people... yeah, i know i can do it. Thanks for a great Thanksgiving after all.....

Thanks for sharing Jim. I've been in northern BC but never made it to the Yukon. So this was amazing to come with you.

Nice uncle adventure camping and cooking.i like it

wow!!! you are the man Jim, such beautiful content, and sceenerey keep it up jimbo, waving the hand from Champlain,ny

"im just gonna line down this cliff here...." - jim after running the most insane rapid ever. hahaha pants were full after that one i bet. maniac i love it. Dude is in a canoe!

Awesome sauce, thanks Jim! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

Great show man!! usually throw it on for the Dogs while we work or what not, they like camping/canoeing videos. Best take away was the food pack, or as we approach fire season we do prep our evac vehicles and incorporated your food kit approach, or working on a few buckets set and ready to go along with other items if we have to off grid camp or what not. cheers!

Thanks for that....As a Canada lover it was a great Trip with you. Very blessed to see this....Greetings from Germany!!!

Good job Jim, really enjoyed the scenery and your campfires. You have a real knowledge of how to read the river. I remember canoeing from Whitecourt to Fort Assiniboine out of Edmonton in the late 70's, it was high water, and i had some scary moments but loved the trip. We had a Coleman Canoe, so in the shallows the bottom would lift up, whereas a fiberglass canoe would rock side to side. I remember my neighbour took a trip with a kayak on a northern river, he had a kayak that folded into a suitcase and a float plane dropped him in a remote area. He had horror stories to tell when he got back alive. Maybe he did not have that map system u had, for sure not a drone, it was back in the 90's. He apparently had the river dry up and went overland to find where it started again and couldn't find it, so he set up his camp and slowly started to starve to death. He said wolves were circling his tent and at one time he started to plan on committing suicide. He was reported missing and they started searching for him, and found him, and the next day it snowed, so the pilot said they would of never seen his tent if it had snowed. Tales of the frontier.

Crazy story, sounds like the river he started on was a spring run that dries up later in the year but sometime no matter what you do you can run into sketchy situations. Are you originally from Australia and now living in Ontario, Canada by any chance?

I just watched the long video, it was awesome thank you.

What am i doing for the next 2 hours? Watching another amazing Jimmy Premium Productions release!!! Cant wait!

Hi Jim, Thanks for this awesome solo adventure! You showed again (like on Vancouver Island) true grit to get things done. Your goofy comments made me laugh and the cinematography was outstanding.

Absolute epic adventure as usual! I'm constantly amazed how beautiful the north is. Hopefully one day I can get up there and experience it for myself. Living in the Mid-Atlantic area of the US there aren't many options for extended canoe trips.

dziękuję za bardzo ciekawy film, szczęśliwego Nowego Roku, wszystkiego dobrego

Loved it brother !!!

Hi Jim, I'm a huge fan of your exploits, canoeing adventures of both you and your brother Ted. You both are without question the real deal, the Canadian northern wilderness is not to be taken lightly. The height of land series as an example. This Hart river trip was enjoyable, as per usual the Yukon landscape is breathing. However the Hart river is pretty much a snooze fest drifting downstream. How about an oatmeal short video, 4 or 5 packs today. Anyway love the channel, perhaps you should have another channel with just family videos, keeping your solo trips on the other channel.

Yes. Slowing down and enjoying what we have. How do we do it and why is it so difficult for most of us? Of course "society" dont reallly wants us to. But we also must take responsibility. I think it is done best if a couple really plan for it and accept the sacrifices in money, status and things. One thing I have learned myself is never talk less nice to those you love than you would to your boss. Remember what is important.

Now that is truly being in top of the world Jim. AJ

Awesome hike - mountaineering…. love that you incorporated this as wife and I watch these videos looking at these variuos peaks, ridge lines and would love to climb that one or this one, fly the drone depending on wind conditions of course… just spectacular wicked awesome scenery! Hope you are making more videos like this.

Gnarly climb..! Lovin the series. 🫵❤️❤️
