Video Description

#yukon #outdoors #jimbairdadventurer Every Trail Has a Story: 6-Weeks Family Camping & Exploring in the YUKON Wild - The Full Documentary Join us on a 6-week adventure in the Yukon that starts off with an 11-day canoe trip down the Teslin and Yukon Rivers through the stunning Yukon wilderness! Discover historical relics from the Klondike Gold Rush, including old cabins, an abandoned gold mine, and a century-old steam-powered sternwheeler. When we finish the canoe trip, we move into an off-grid log cabin from where we explore the surrounding area by ATV, hunt grouse and fish for Arctic cha. We also travel up the Dempster Highway and hike the Tombstone Range, fish for Arctic Grayling and hunt ptarmigan. Our adventure also takes us to Dawson City in the northern Yukon, where we immerse ourselves in rich history and breathtaking landscapes. #sponsored the Chevrolet Trail Boss pick-up truck you see me using in this film was leant to us by Chevrolet Canada for this trip.
