Jim Baird: Escape to the Mountains - Bonaventure River Canoe Poling & Fly Fishing (The Full Documentary): On this Gaspé adventure, we use wilderness techniques to light fires while off-the-grid in the backcountry, cook over the fire, and navigate our canoes while listening to the sound of salmon jumping in the crystal clear water right beside our campsite. Canadian bush life at its best! After reaching the remote river via a forest access road, you'll see my wife Tori and I jump right into poling as we solo rapids on this mountains adventure. It was our first time poling and we needed to learn fast! We also try our hand at fly-casting for salmon - what an amazing experience. This is the full documentary version of the trip down the Bonaventure that we completed in Sep 2020. Enjoy!

  • @youtubetv5762
    You guys Are fun to watch, My favorite part is when your wife gave you the finger lol told you to F off that was hilarious, but it’s so real, like what wife has never done that to a husband, You guys are just down to earth, a real couple having a blast and living the adventure, keep up the great work Jim/tori looking forward to new adventures watching them
  • @douglasmunn30
    definitely loved when she was losing it and yelling fuck you. that made me laugh a bit but i love the all around positive energy especially once you both settled and made camp. loved the commentary. you two would be awesome to paddle and camp with. poling looks like a good time! i’m gonna give it a stab this year, and not terribly far from the bonaventure, just a bit south, in NB.

    Two comments: 1) The anticipation of you NOT catching a salmon had me on the edge of my seat! 2) Tori is an awesome woman. Not many people would commit to a three day canoe polling expedition with only 1/2 hour of experience. Kudos to Tori in a great Doc-U-Min-Tori!
  • @dalesanborn9297
    wow! you guys are incredible. i'm seeing a side of Tori with a sense of humor i've never seen before this video. i'm loving vicariously joining you guys on your adventures.
  • @TheOzzrob
    I really like your grit and hunger for adventure, your truly living life to the full, both you and your wife are blessed 👍

    I don’t know if I can adequately describe what your videos mean to me. The sheer beauty of undeveloped wilderness, and the way you capture it on film. What struck me most was the crystal clear water. Thankful the human race hasn’t ruined and polluted everything. And this is Canada which makes me so proud to be Canadian and want to do whatever I can to keep these areas so pristine. Also lovely to see Tory. And your attitude Jim, it just shines through. Had a great time without catching fish that jumped right in front of you lol
  • Love this episode. Beautiful area. I live in northern New Brunswick not far from there. Don’t be disappointed not catching an Atlantic salmon. Been there done that 1000 times. I’ve been filming a fishing series for many years, trying to capture catching Atlantic salmon is very difficult. Just trying to catch one is ponderous. Sometimes your skunk for three days and then one morning you may go out and catch three. Proper techniques are definitely required. It’s a fine art
  • @terriboccio6963
    The effort of poling the canoe and how you guys seemingly mastered great maneuverability while not continuously taking spills is a skill set. Epic journey, epic adventure!
  • @earlyoutdoor
    You tow are just great!! Thanks for all your Videos! Greetings from Germany!
  • @conchitascarter
    Ain't you a lucky guy to have a wife who share your adventures and with a lot of common sense to learn things by herself
  • So freaking cool with the salmon jumping right in front of you regardless of not catching anything and spending the day with your woman on equal footing.
  • My favorite part, Tori telling you to mind your business, lol... I loved this video, thanks for sharing...
  • Loved this video, my hubby Michael and I fly fish, so felt so cool to watch this adventure. Can’t wait for your next adventure, I’m new so I watch old ones and keep up with the new one of your and Ted’s videos.eventually I will have watch all of the older videos. 🥴
  • Holy cow the balance and strength to maneuver your boats like this! Impressive! And here I am, barely able to stand in still water! Great content, you two are amazing!
  • Super amazing trip! I can't believe how clear the water is in the river, and how cheeky the salmon are ;)
  • @waynehall295
    Awesome video Jim and Victoria! I have subscribed and watched all of your videos and although this one may be a little older I appreciate that authenticity in your relationship together in this particular video! 🙂 keep it real my friends and good luck on every other adventure ❤
