Wesley is Hudson’s #1 fan. He’s entertained by every song he sings and every tantrum he throws like the good big brother he is.
Our final instalment of our road trip across the country is now live on YouTube. This time we’re driving an incredibly beautiful mountain road into Telegraph Creek. Head over to Jim’s YouTube to watch! Link in bio.

“Busy” is one word to describe Hudson… and it would be correct. He doesn’t stop. Not for a moment.
These are some clips from episode 4 of our overlanding adventure to Northern BC on our way to paddle the Stikine River. Go check it out on YouTube. Link in bio!

Huddy has the right idea…
Check out episode 1 of our Stikine River series now live on YouTube! It’s a good one! Link in bio.

It was an interesting experience and they ended up tasting great. The kitchen was a bit of a disaster when we were done but I think next time we make them things will go a little smoother.
What is your favourite kind of sausage?

We went with a white pine this year which is a first for both of us. We’ll see how it holds up throughout the holidays but so far we love it!! 🥰🎄

Our five year old son Wesley has a rare neurological disorder called Fox G1 Syndrome, but that doesn’t prevent him from coming along on family adventures. In this video, I share some info about Fox G1 and give a little update on Wesley’s developmental progress. Do you think that time spent in the outdoors and nature is good for kids? Essentially, we definitly see Wesley progressing out in nature and we’d be interested to hear if anyone else notices the same with children who have disabilities and also with typical kids. You can follow our family advenure through the full videos on my YouTube channel (link in bio.). We all apreciate your support!

Watch the full video through the link in my bio. This is Ep 5 of my current series “Into Alaska”. In this one, we camp a a mountain lake near the Alaska border in BC highway 37A before driving back to Cassiar Highway to the Telegraph Creek road. Soon we’ll begin our canoe trip down the Stikine River which we’ll follow into Alaska and continue to the Pacific.

New video up! (Link in bio). Me and @torigoesoutside ‘s 5000km cross-Canada overlanding adventure finished with an exciting drive down the remote and hair-raising Telegraph Creek Road in Northern British Columbia. The road bends around tight corners with sheer drop offs at its edge and travels up 20% gradients through sections where a mistake could spell disaster. The sights the road offers up are world class, as this rugged through-fair skirts the massive and very impressive Grand Canyon of the Stikine River. At the base of the canyon is where Tori and I would begin our 10-day wilderness canoe trip down the Stikine and into Alaska with our two kids and the dog along for the journey.
What do you think? Would you be nervous to tackle a road like this?

(Flip your phone sideways). This is a drone shot of remote, Obabaika Falls in the early morning mist that I took while on a 16-day canoe trip in the Temagami Region with my brother @ted.baird The falls likes about 400 meters up the Obabika River from its confluence with the Sturgeon River. Tough to view from the portage trail, it’s a hidden delight that few have the orovlidge to lay their eyes on. Obabika River Provincial Park
Here’s a fast way to dry out berries to preserve them using fire. It’s far faster than sun dryin them and it worls when it’s not sunny. It’s also faser than treading them along a thin piece of line and hanging them up whole over a fire indoors or other which can work to dry berries too and is mroe passive though takes forever and is harder to insure the berries are fully dry that way. This is just a small scale example of how the process can be done at camp. Really, to store any significant amount of berries away for the winter this would need to be done on a far greater scale.
