Into Alaska - a Bear Around Camp & Heavy Rain Begins | 10-Days Family Camping in Alaskan & BC Wild
Camped at a spot that’s used as a salmon netting camp by local Tahltan, we woke up to an overcast day that seemed to promise rain. While breaking camp, our dog North started acting strangely, he was on alert and the hair on his back stood up as he sniffed the air. He was guarding the entrance of two trails that lead into camp. It seemed like a bear was hanging around so I fired off a bear banger to scare it off, which seemed to work as North stopped acting all weird.
The heavy rain and cold headwinds picked up not long after that. Man was it ever challenging. The Stikine River has good currant so, you’re supposed to make good time but the headwind really slowed out pace. After paddling a good distances we made camp at a white sand beach in the rainforest and the rain really started coming down and Tori cooked up a mean of poutine under the tarp.

If we were ever to meet, I would know all your names, even the dogs name, yet I would be a complete stranger, so thanks for sharing your life with us all. I'm sure I echo the sentiments of all your fans when I say it really is a pleasure to spend time with the Baird's 🥰

That is really a cool comment, very well said and very true. I really like Jim’s reply as well.
Best part of my Thursday is sitting down with my wife with supper and watching what Jim and his family are up to. Epic adventure!

What an adventure. Huddy takes the cake - he is so cute. You guys are so amazing. Just wait Jim - when Huddy is older he will be your sidekick. Wesley is such a happy little boy. And Tory -wow you are my hero with your strength and patience .

didn't take long for Huddy to take off his soaks and shoes lol and Wesley always has a smile on his face ! just can't help but love them !
Wesley is sitting up so beautifully 💥
Sooo beautiful little family… you deserve Parents of the Year Awards!!!
Jim and Tori you guys are an absolute inspiration!Wesley and Huddy are so lucky to have such dedicated loving parents who literally bend over backwards to take them on fantastic adventures which they will cherish and remember for ever. And kudos to Tori for being such an amazing mother/wife/and adventurer!! Please continue your adventures that allow us to vicariously join you. Thanks again
Heck of a family you guys! Making memories that last forever.
Drone footage is wonderful. Great filming job all around. I love how Tori comes 'alive' on the water ! What a team .
Tori, I was seriously impressed with you lifting Wesley out of the tent, carrying him in front of you. I have a difficult enough time getting myself out of the tent.

Jim and Tory, you guys are absolute legends. Given that this is the ultimate in self-reliance, self/dependence, your outdoor adventures are literally a wonderful upbringing for your children. At the same time your ability to responsibly provide safety and security and deal with all the little details while smiling and doing all the presentation work is impressive. Absolutely inspiring work. It's a real privilege to be able to enjoy your adventures too.
How about a shout out to North! What a fine dog keeping an eye on his family. Buck would be proud!! Your Kids are awesome. Tory is Awesome!
As always, thank you sharing your adventures.
Another great adventure as always Jim. Can't wait till next week! I was super impressed when I saw Wesley sit up on the canoe seat all by himself without back support! Keep up the great work Tori and Jim. Nature is the best medicine!
Great adventure so far but too bad it is not all sunny for you guys! Love seeing the joy in Wesleys face and Huddy is just go go go!! LOL love it
Both of you , Jim and Tori, and both of the boys and North.....You are all so amazing !!!!!
Can’t wait to watch your videos each week, Jim! Love the adventure that you and your family takes us on. Great job!😊

@@JimBairdAdventurerthat is so cool. Don't you just love dog's ❤😊
It takes such patience, courage, and faith to do what you’re doing with your beautiful babies.❤. A healthy “don’t sweat the small stuff” attitude. Very impressive parenting!😊. I can only imagine the amazing deep sleep your kiddos have “sleeping like babes”, mulling over the days adventures and dreaming about their future encounters. The work that must be done on them when they’re in their dream state. So healthy. You guys are doing such a great job!❤
Definitely inspiring to see that adventure is still possible with a full family and doggo! Keep inspiring us all Jim and Tori!
Beautiful portion of your trip including visuals and the efforts you two give to make it happen
I’m with Tori, hoping the rainforest is sunny and dry! 😊 I’m so excited each week to see your latest episode. There is some special magic about you two as a couple, as adventurers and parents, each with such talents. Your kiddos are so fortunate to have these experiences. Beautifully filmed. ✌️❤️🚣🏻
Today I have to give props to Tori you are such a good mom & inspiration to all the mothers out there who would think of doing this with their children. Great video & Jim your awesome to lol.🙂🇨🇦❤🛶
You loved your son, Innocent, an art of the arts. Oh God, grant him protection and success in his life, Lord of the worlds
outstanding trip , be safe, your a blessed man!!!!
Wesley’s smile is infectious ❤ - loving your adventure Baird family!
incredible with the kids!!

Watching all 5 of you (North too) enjoying this incredible journey reminds me of something, a song. We all know it. Your video, especially of the mountain range near the end, is the reason: Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountains majesties, above the fruited plains…America, America, God shed his grace on thee…..Thank you for helping illustrate the absolute beauty on this earth.
The adventure continues epic videography , gorgeous wild area loving how well Wesley is doing he has such a sweet smile ,little Hudson such a curious little guy who loves to check everything I see. loved when you & Torie were singing with wee Hudson how adorable that was Tori your one epic wife and mama beautiful family beautiful adventure.
Awesome video!!!👍👍Loved watching your adventures and those boys are precious💙💚💜 North is a great dog♥️ Thanks for sharing🥰😊🤗🤗
I love Thursday. Another EPIC day on the water with your beautiful wife and littles. God has surely blessed you. Thank you for sharing your adventures. P.S. special shoutout to Tori, Mama, you rock! ❤❤❤
What an adventure! Such a mix of stunning & scary. Those currents looked strong you both paddled them so well. You're checking the Bear etc prints, aware of North's behaviour and acting with a preventative measure was right. Being able to constantly assess the area yr in is such a skill, never mind everything being with a family involves. Jim I'm also grateful u let us get a sense of the area yr in by taking time to show us, it makes such a difference. Thank you Jim & Tori with Wesley & Hudson too❣️
Great job putting the new fishing rod together. Amazing. Good job North! You both must be so strong …carrying your boys! Why do kids that age not like to eat? I love seeing you and Tory smile? Tory what a great job cooking.
You have skillfully packed that canoe for everything reasonable that you would run into it’s pretty amazing Great job
The scenery leaves me speechless! Soooo beautiful 🏔️ 🛶 🎣 🏕️
JIM you are a true pioneer adventurere i love your Spirit God Bless and see you on the trail
i know i have said this before but every one of your FAMILY videos brings a big smile to my face. i love watching your kids experiencing life in the outdoors. great content - thank you
Such beautiful scenery Jim and Tori , y’all are the best. More Wesley and Huddy can please! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
Mr.Baird ‼️ I have waited 7 days for this episode and you gave me beautiful scenery, 2 handsome boys and North “but I want more 😢 Mr. & Mrs. Baird thanks for sharing your life adventures with us 🤗
Huddy's little "Good morning" 😊 and Wesley's smile😊..you guys are the best..safe travels 🙏💜
Great teamwork from the whole family!!
I watch the Bairds so much that Huddy singing made my husband go "It's Huddy!!". He doesn't even watch with me 😂 but he knows Huddy! Great vid as per usual 🏕️
Maybe because I’m a lot older than you two but the hardships of traveling remotely with young children, seems to outweigh the enjoyment. I am still amazed at the patience you both have. The kids have some great parents.😍
Man what a great family u have. Thanks for sharing the life u have built w them. This is what your families need to see. You are living my friend 👊
Tori, you da man, and da mama, and da chef, what a team player you are. Great content folks.
Family sing song with Hudson, so adorable!
You guys blow my mind with amazement..the amount of fortitude and SPIZZERINCTUM you have!!! I'm 67 years delightful and adventurous and at no time in my life would I ever have been able to do what y'all do!!! Freakin nerves of steel!!! I been through some heavy %$#@..but y'all definitely get the trophy!!! Soooooo proud of y'all!!! ty..xoxo..blessings to y'all in every way!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Beautiful country , Huddy having a contrary day . They can try the patience of a saint at his age lol got to love the little rascals though. Sunny and blue skies the next episode . Looking forward to it . God bless everyone 💗
It’s always nice to see ones dog protecting his pack. Good North.
Hudson is the cutest, and I love every character in your journals, even your brother when you had a fight the other day.
So freaking beautiful to watch Westley walk. So much improvement over the years, nothing greater than the outdoors to bring healing and health. Thanks Jim and Torri. *(Yea, yea, Huddy is adorable too!)He is going to be quite the outdoorsman and athlete.
Nice job teaching North not be scared of gun shot like sounds, etc.... And it looks like Huddy ain't afraid of much himself either!
You guys are legends ❤the video and family on vacation is epic - thanks for taking everyone along
Just amazing! Can I say I am just in awe of you and your wife!! My grandfather was a trapper all over this area. He also traveled the stikine, down to Anchorage. He knew the river well and taught his family. As kids we knew to respect this river as well as fear it. You guys did a great job!!
Such a huge job to go on a canoeing/camping trip, then add 2 children a dog and try to film all the adventures, hard work!! you guys make it look easy. The places you go and the things you see and experience are all worth it!! Its so important to expose our little ones to the beauty of nature and Canada is just teaming with beauty..Alaska as well...rugged beauty!! Im looking forward to trips like these when i have grandchildren..the next generation of nature lovers!
Wow you are the adventurers. Two young kids and paddling a rough river in rainy conditions😱. God Bless. I admire your stamina. Prayers for continued adventures like this one. Stay safe. ❤️🙏🏻💯🕊🌈
Love watching your adventures , brave souls !

Haha, ya it had its challenges snd concerns. However our whole journey down this river is fully accessible by jet boat and we had the contact of multiple jet boat captions in Wrangell Alaska which lies at the rover’s mouth so, we have a good safety net and can pull the ripcord in any location along the journey.
This episode and this series get ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from me I so enjoy every minute ❤️you guys.
Tori and Huddy are a favorite but the entire family is wonderful.
Loved that last camp spot. Gorgeous! There was even a face in the clouds looking down on you. Excellent video! Thank you
I just LOVE your dog North! Such a great dog 👍 ❤
Love it... Jimbo, you make so great vids brother...keep it up. I've been watching you since you and Buck had that awesome arctic journey. Glad to see the fam blossoming so glad to see Wesley doing so good!!!!!! I'm a Medical professional and can say with 100% certainty, you and Tori (sp) are doing, from what i see, everything right. So stoked to see how Huddy is developing. You two should start a wilderness parenting channel, nature is what children need....Keep killin it Jim and Tori!!!! ..... and while im here, Jim go grab Ted and do something crazy, do a bucket list journey bud. I am 54 and i see some of the trips i wanted to try, but in reality they would be a stretch now.... 2024 better have a crazy journey Jimbo!!
Jim you and the family are truly free when you's are out there in the wild. It sure does feel good when I am on in the wild. Love the videos. God bless.
As always, soooo enjoying The Baird Family adventures! Incredible all the way around. Thank you ❤

Thanks for your great videos. I love your family! I camp a lot. Usually, I'm down fsr as far back as I can get. I used to do backpacking and canoeing trips when I was very young. I'm 68 now and feel the clock ticking for taking my adventuring up a notch. For my 65th bday, I did a 4 day solo kayak trip in BC. It was wonderful. Now I have a touring paddleboard. This years plan is to do a multiday trip on it. Along with a summer of road trips down forestry roads. I can't go longer than 4 days on a water trip because I have a cat. She loves camping road trips, though. The best thing I ever did was a month in the Boundary Waters in Minnesota. I long for another extended wilderness trip like that. In the meantime, I'll keep watching your videos and feeling inspired!
you guys are inspiring, strong minded and teach me a lot. you inspired me to seek nature with my family here, in Israel. thank you Bairds.

“Huddy had a blow out😂 never a dull moment on a Baird family canoe adventure! These videos are way to short (but I understand) guess we’ll have to wait till next week to see this epic adventure, thanks for sharing this with us and yeah that last meal looked tasty 😋, great job Tori! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Amazing parents!
You And Tori pulled off an incredible job with your little ones! What a trip! I am pretty sure you created some lifetime memories 🔥 Wesley really seems to be enjoying the adventure! Thank you for uploading amazing content - it reminds of my years spent in BC and its wilderness. Note. If you are ever tired of eating oatmeal for breakfast, try cream of wheat - it is rich in calories, creamy and comes in instant packets - add a little cocoa and your kids will love it too 😊 Cheers from Czech Republic!
Sweet new Baird content!!
