Why this story? The whole channel is running at 245,699 views a day, 10 times a normal day (24,280).

The river isn't always something Jim Baird can simply paddle through. His Northwest Territories expedition includes a day labeled "The Water is too High to Paddle," with hail and caribou sharing the chapter billing. Later comes a different sort of wilderness objective: finding a hidden hot spring.

That journey is the centerpiece of his recent uploads as Jim Baird - Adventurer adds roughly 246,000 views in a day, about ten times its usual daily pace. The October film, "11 Days, 350 kms ALONE Through the NWT's Subarctic Backbone Ranges," offers nearly two hours of solo travel, with room for the interruptions as well as the rapids.

Baird describes a route down four rivers through remote country, taking in deep canyons and red mountains. His chapter guide follows the hot spring search with two difficult canyons, then a fish-stew meal after another attempt at catching bull trout.

The Canadian journey follows a run of Iceland clips about his solo packrafting expedition. There, too, the route involved more than staying afloat: his whitewater-canyon upload describes a long portage and a steep descent before he could run the rapids below.
