Into the Wild: A Remote Lake Trout Fishing and Camping Adventure with Cali, North and the Boys
4 guys and 2 dogs embark on a four day backcountry Lake Trout Fishing trip in Northern Ontario - strong winds, low water in creeks and bugs add to the challenge but the fishing was worth it!
Thanks for Watching!

lol Cracking up at Cali "uh...can't I just *bites toy* ...If I could just have my ...*bites toy*....can I please just?"
Shawn it was great getting out with you Jim, Nate, Calie and North. Beautiful and relaxing Video from a near perfect trip, I wouldn't change a thing. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers

I'm glad you replied. He didn't say who was with him in the beginning. I kept telling myself, that has got to be the Baird boys. You confirmed that I was right.
I can definitely appreciate that the dogs are referred to by name in the video title, and the humans as simply "the boys"! 😂❤

Cali is having her best life with her little friend and human beings It’s so pretty Good luck on your fishing
Good for you Shawn. Peaceful, out with the boys fishing and relaxing. A time for you to recuperate. Have fun
Shaun, I started watching your video at .23 seconds. My husband and his sons will be going into the Bob Marshall Wilderness, on June 25th to camp and of course fish. Paul, will have just turned 81 years old a few days earlier. They will hike in for several miles to the site they have always stay at for the past 26 years. I can now see why they enjoy this journey so much, as I watch you, Cali and, your friends. So happy to see you are feel healthier.
Cali captured my attention on this video more that the menfolk and the fish did. The shot of her in the early morning was beautiful. She is so tuned into nature. I think Cali is a very special dog. I am glad for you guys that the weather was great. The area you chose to fish was lovely. Very much enjoyed this video.
Outasight!!!! What a great trip. Cali and North were in their element. Well deserved Shawn. Give Cali a BIG SMOOCH from Mike & Ronnie. God Bless
Shawn! What a good fish and landscapes, Cali's happy face with mud was the best of all!!! 😂
Looks like good times with the guys & dogs! Cali sure wanted everyone to know she is the dominant one! Love her face! Lol
what I enjoyed the most in this video was the segment of the portage of the boats crossing the water over dry land to water. My Father needed me to know this, as he lived in Portage Wisconsin. He was a real outdoorsman!
I didn't want this video to end. Amazing trip, amazing scenery, amazing filming.❤
Beautiful videography, Shawn! So glad you can find time to have some fun with Cali and the boys. Thanks for sharing.
Canada is just such a beautiful place

Yes it is. God help southern Canada. I don’t know Shawn’s general location, (if he’s in southern or northern Canada). Do you know? How do we find out if he’s alright?
I have fond memories of my own two-tone Golden Retriever. Top half golden, bottom half black mud - it was even more special to crawl into a small tent with him.🙄Thanks for sharing, reminds me of when I could walk well enough to do the same.
You are fortunate in having the best partner in the world - Cali . She is beautiful, LOL and she made sure to bring her toy. That is precious... God Bless
guys, what a great joy for me to see three of my four people that I follow on the networks ted bairdy james it is an honor to see this beautiful video guys in your country so well I follow a person with great joy and every Friday we sit down in the main part of the house to watch his videos and I know it is very difficult for him to answer all the comments but he does it and it fills us with joy his name is GALE and his family this is my alaska he is a brother we love him very much greetings to all Sergio from Medellin Colombia
Cally is so excited to have you on vacation with her. You both need more of this.happy times and best friends.good memories
I’m thinking it’s time to call my Sis, and go fishing. See Shawn when you’re working building something, it gives me motivation to do the same. Go fishing, now I gotta do it too. You’re a good influence on people. You and Cali live a great life!
Always a pleasure to see these camping/canoeing/fishing trips. The two pups were having a ball🦮🐕🦺I remember my last trip into the Canadian outback like it were yesterday. That was over 25 years ago now. There were four of us with two Grumman aluminum canoes, and two packs filled to the gills for a one week stay. Across three lakes with two killer portages and we had arrived. A week of fishing in the main lake, as well as a short portage to another lake. Lots of exploring, stargazing (major meteor shower) loon music, life-long friends .... what more could you ask for👍🏻🦅🐟🐟
Beautiful early season trip with the boys! ‘I’m just using lake water, by the way…’ Just what you want to hear right after a big bout of giardia 😂
Yes cali by your eyes it showed us viewers how bored you were by that Husky Pup and then when in the water doing the things you love doing best.
Cali is so cute, Dad carrying the supplies and Cali her toy!😄
Cali is and always will be the star of your vids Shawn lol. ⭐🐾🦴😊
JIMBO & NORTH I thought it was you both !!! I yelled just like with SHAWN & OUR CALI!!!
Callie had a ball! Just like a kid…the dirty, the better time she had…Aw…sweet baby…❤
Hi Shawn, Cali👋 hope you're doing well, appreciate you, stay safe and take care my friends🙏Thank you 👍
SHAWN & OUR CALI Man did I YELL YOUR NAME !!! LOVE YOU BOTH so much have been sleeping a lot but this will keep me awake !!!
You guys had a blast. and the dogs thought they were in Heaven. Thanks for sharing the expedition .
Happy to see you getting some rest and relaxation. Nice to see you feeling better as well. Beautiful shots of scenery and Cali having the time of his life. How content and happy he looks. Stay safe my friend enjoy the rest of your trip 😊😊

I don’t really think so. She seemed to me like she wanted to just chase him away from her.
Great to see the Baird boys
Quelle belle aventure, c'est le paradis manger du saumon sans engrais c'est vraiment super ❤
Shawn I hope you and your family are save from the fire 🍀
bonjour, beaucoup de vent au départ..un bien fou cette " virée" avec vos amis et les chiens..le grand air, la beauté des paysages, la pêche, le camping, la convivialité..profitez Shawn...la levée du soleil, avec la brume sur le lac..wow!! et tous ces bruits..superbe!!..très belle vidéo..Merci🤩
You are so kind to cali,she's so lucky to have you.😊
Beautiful sunrises and sunsets . Peace and quite ! It's so nice to get away with friends if only for a couple of days .
What a fantastic fishing trip you and the boys had! And the FOOD! Shore lunches are the best ever!~
Callie is the happiest disaster I’ve ever seen. I had to laugh when you called her a disaster! Such a wonderful video with the dogs living their best life!
If you grab a pike over the neck an apply a gentle pressure on the gill covers they will get momentarily paralysed. Then it’s easy to remove any hooks or lures.
Love when Jim gets excited about a fish on!
It's great that you get some time to fish with the boys! All work and no play...
A ha, so this is why we haven't seen any work on the homestead. You've been slacking with your friends. (big smile and salute from Muttly) Well done Shawn. If anyone has earned a break, it's you. I hope you had a great time. ;-)
Good times. Thanks, Shawn. [EDIT] Enjoyed seeing your boiler - I know them as a Benghazi Boiler, invented by Kiwis in North Africa in WW2 (bet ya the Aussies claim it 🙂); my folks had a Thermette brand for picnics, and we used Benghazis in the NZFS, burning diesel over pine needles, for smoko cups of tea twice a day. Stewed, yeah, but put enough sugar in and you're good for the next 2.5 hours. Brilliant gadgets! Glad they're known about in foreign climes, and deserve to be famous. An Cali took her fetcher along, just in case things got boring - nice. Again, thanks, Shawn. Appreciated. And if you haven't got yourself a Benghazi you're missing out on easy to operate water boiler, way faster than a billy on a cooker or a fire!!
This one hit close to home bringing back years of working with Scouts, Not so fortunate to be out in that remote of a wilderness though. We had an amazing river in south eastern Massachusetts. The old Wamanoag passage, their old trading route from just south of Boston on the great Bay to the Narragansett bay in Rhode Island. 110 miles of several rivers, portages, and the Taunton River. We ran that river in all weathers, seasons and times of day and night camping at the Indian Reservation, farms fields along the banks, old cutouts in the banks where ships were built back in the 1700s and rock piers where the the ships were fitted out. . We went out in dead of winter, in snowstorms and cold Novembers with the river running high and a strong wind in our backs. When we literally flew down the river.. Especially paddling at night with snow falling and a full moon. Great memories. Thanks for the video.
A very special watch! Thanks so much for making your video available for others to enjoy. I SURE DID!
Friend had a cabin on Four Bass Lake, Ontario. Although smaller, the feeling was the same--so serene and great fishing.
🫶🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼Loved your sweet Cali, as usual, thanks for sharing💁🏻
Right time of the year, no black flies and trout are on top. Must be hard eating that many trout.lol😂😂
Cali is like a little kid playing in the mud lol So glad to see you out with friends and having fun for a change.
great for the fishing is really wonderful
Hello all . a super good video, beautiful landscape and great for relaxing. Thanks . Greetings to all .
Cali is quite a contributor to the entertainment factor in this video! 🤩😍
Awesome! Thank you!
Welcome back, Shawn and Cali! Now I'm gonna watch the video haha
Egg shell is very good for dogs.
Parabéns, que video emocionante, lindo e gratificante. Ver Calli feliz com companhia, você sempre culinarizando no improviso. Bom pra você, pra sua mente, sua saúde.Obrigada por nos levar juntos nessa aventura. Aquele abraço! ❤❤
une belle région du 🍁 🍁 canada pour une super aventure
Cali loves her toy! Glad you had a wonderful safe time! Best wishes to you & your family! Take Care…👋
Soooo beautiful up there. Peaceful. A place for connection
Nothing better than the first trip of the season!
So good to see your adventures. The scenery’s were amazing! Just stunning! I bet it was so awesome in person! Cali is so precious. Her dirty little face and pretending to leave her toy to aggravate you! Shes comical. The fish fry looked so good. Since I won’t ever meet you especially living in the states I hope I can fish with you and canoe, in heaven. Thank you so much Shawn for such amazing and beautiful life experiences and all you share. Take care.
Looked like a fun time. I enjoy the Kelly kettle- Nova Craft- fresh fish outing with the buds from time to time…. Relaxing
Wow what a beautiful video thanks 🙏
I lived this life in 1964 as a college student. Wish I had a dog along. We stumbled onto an island on Sagnaga Canada which the previous campers left a alive pool of Walleye. We let them loose but they stayed behind. So we were obligated to eat a few. Love your channel. . Party
Shawn... thanks for giving Cali the life she deserves. Love that woofer dog!
Great that you have had some time to get some RnR after being sick! You have such amazing work ethic. Look forward to seeing you at the cabin next time.
Great adventure.
It’s 97 degrees in southern Missouri today and I just had a 4 day vacation watching this video! Thanks!
This shows what fascinated Viktor Schauberger, the way trout look to be motionless yet they don’t get pushed by the flowing water. Some kind of spiraling vortex force that allows one to levitate. Also the extraordinary nature of water. Beautiful shots!
Cali I just love her she is a sweet pup congratulations on your fishing trip James you and cali need a relaxing vacation with the guys very nice place God bless you and the family Amen
NICE fish! Early morning sounds & views are Magnificent!! Great memories~!
Great trip Shawn,And as usual Cali was the star and she was magnificent!
Cali: "Holidays are for gettin' muddy and laying in fire pits, dad!" Awesome getaway, Shawn and pals! 👍😎🇨🇦🐾🐾💦🔥🐟🚣♂️🏕⭐
i wish you hade more subscribers i watch religiously you deserve more keep up the great content
I absolutely love Cali's spirit and her soul. She is the perfect companion. She obviously loves Sean and he loves her.

Que bien que disfrutes de la belleza del paisaje y de tus amigos ,Cali no puede ser más feliz 👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
So beautiful, thanks for sharing Shawn. This was a well earned break from all your hard work. Great camping, great friends, great food and spiced up with Cali's adventures...the stuff dreams are made off👌🏻
Feliz pô vê-lo que está tudo bem com você graças a Deus abençoe vcs 🙏😘
What a nice trip, those lake trout look just like salmon meat, beautiful color, I think that is the first time I ever seen a 3 lb. Porterhouse, when you cook a steak the same time as a potato, that`s a big steak.
Hey Shawn and friends it’s so good to see that you’re doing great Shawn. Thanks! 👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
Wow, Nate, and the Baird lads and the pooches!! 👋😎👍
Shawn, Beautiful video! Love seeing Cali!
Good morning Shawn , a great few days, quite a lifestyle you have created. In the way it should be I believe. A few great mates a couple of dog companions. Fishing campfire. Life is good when we follow our dreams…..I’m sure I can smell the campfire smoke….good times
Just a beautiful peaceful place I know Cally had fun
Glad to see you relaxing and having fun with your friends, dear Shawn !!

What a great video!! Love the great outdoors, the fish were fantastic, that Bald Eagle...amazing! It's good to see you out enjoying some time on the water, in the bush, with the lads...and pups too! Such fun.
Great video and looks like a great trip. You and Cali were missed!
Hey Shawn, your trip brings back memories of lake trout fishing with my dad and grandad . Every spring we would make our way to our favourite lake back of Iron Bridge/Eliott Lake and always come home with an abundance of lake trout anywhere from 3 lbs - 12 lbs . The trout would be feeding on the smelts that were running that time of the year. Thanks for posting your trip and sparking fond memories.
Eu adoro assistir seus vídeos adoro assistir a dog ela e uma cachorra muito fofa e inteligente
It had to be a fantastic fishing trip out in the wild. The scenery and nature looks just awesome and peacefulness is so calming.
Most enjoyable! Video is definitely better than not going anywhere!
