I'm a 70 year young woman who is British. I've been watching you for 2 plus year's, I always enjoy all your videos, though I prefer the winter ones. You always make me smile even if that day or days haven't been that good, watching you cooking your epic meals on an open fire with several feet of snow around you is a joy to behol, they always look yummy. Take care cant wait till the next video 🌯🌮🍕🥓🍔🍳🥩🍗🥙🌯🥚🥪🌭🥚🥟🌨❄☃️
Repping for the Brits. 🇬🇧💯
I’m a Brit too, it’s hard to imagine how big the Canadian wilderness is and how much snow they get over there, we get an inch and the country grinds to a halt.
You should check out Haze Outdoors, he’s the closest thing to Xander we in the uk have, he’s funny and does some great hikes and wild camping and loves his cooking
I'll be 69 yrs. old in May, female and live in Ohio, US. I love this channel too. So peaceful and beautiful. I love Xander's adventurous spirit. And I agree...his campfire cooking skills are top notch!
I hope you not them Woke British 😂🤣
@@TonyL2567 I have been watching Haze since before the "Pandemic" I live in his part of the world, he is so funny shouting "Medic" and he has been know to dish up some good food.
So, I don't remember the first video of yours that I watched. Neither how I came across it. By now I have watched many of them and every new one is a source of pure joy. I guess algorithms can really be of great value.
To me you are such a wonderfully authentic, calm, appreciative and fun person. And I have never seen you in person, never spoken to you, never exchanged a written word with you. But when I watch your videos, especially the solo trips, what you see, feel, say and do resonates on a level with me that is rare.
While watching this video I had this thought: Okay I finally need to get in touch with Xander and ask him how many people already asked him whether he offers to take people on a trip with him. That I am the next one to be added to that line of probably aaa lot. And that I even consider flying out from Switzerland to Canada to do so.
But then this one followed up: Flying from Switzerland to Canada and back is going to do so much harm to what I enjoy Xander being around (and myself, too).
So yeah, I guess we might never meet in person. And that's OK. What I really want is this: You to continue on that beautiful path of yours and hopefully also continuing sharing some bits and bobs of those experiences you are having. So, please have a small token of gratitude, appreciation and support.
"Too long, didn't read": Love you, too, man. Have some delicious food and maybe a new piece of equipment on me.
Thank you so much, not sure how I missed this before
You don't get enough credit for the walking back you do just for the sake of shots.
Always love seeing you upload. Thanks Xander
Les stroud pioneered this technique. A little credit him as well.
Ever since I learned about this trick I can’t help but keep thinking about it.
I wish I never knew this forbidden knowledge 😂
Even down to him keeping the area in and around the shot clear of footprints/any scars.
Gustavo really does a nice job though
He got his own camera man, there is a video about him 😅
Just got to 10:45, and just wanted to say I love you too bro. As someone who's been struggling with some stuff finding your channel this past year has been one of my most inspiring finds. You inspire me, and hearing your story and the changes you've made in your life im proud of how talented and funny of a creator you are. I wish you nothing but blessings and I hope that the good I see in you, one day I can cultivate in myself. Cheers Xander!
A campfire and the sound of rushing water. Heaven on earth!
🙏🙏🙏👍👍😜🙏
🙏😊🙏😊🙏😊🙏😊🙏
Keep on going bro! I also found Xanders channel years ago when I was struggling, don't give up, it's worth it.
Good on you guys. Keep it up 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for showing Strength, Vulnerability and the Passion and Love. The Videos are not just showing the Beauty of where you live but the true inner heart of yourself. You are truly very "Enjoyable" to watch. There is a Bright light that shines through you. Keep going and never stop Xander.
Thank you so much :D I really appreciate it
I'm a simple girl, I see Xander *and* cheese? I click.
Not a girl but I agree
Not a girl but I agree
Not a human but I agree
I am cheese
My pronoun is ‘Aged’ lol
The amount of good vibes this guy is radiating is amazing
I started watching Xander for more than a year now, and the reason I like him is because I related to his drug addiction videos. He inspired me to also quit drugs and to live a healthy lifestyle. I used to spend a lot of money on drugs, and now I just look forward to spending my money on outdoor equipment and traveling to the outdoors. He's definitely one of my idols 💪
💪💪
@@XanderBudnick helped me also! Xander a true guy! Keep it up man
Hello...73 year old guy here. Still able to get out camping and I enjoy your videos. What I do have to say is that I am using some of your meals and I am enjoying them very much. My camping meals used to be quite plain and you have gotten me to spice things up...thanks!
I live in London and I love these videos. I aspire to live a simpler life.
Hey Xander, love your videos! I’m disabled and being able to feel as though I’m there with you, playing in the snow is one of the things that I love most about your films. There’s just enough mix of silent moments and casual conversation to make it feel really personal and lovely. Thanks!
you are now my new favorite outdoor you tuber. Love the sense of humour and you eat like a king whilst out in the wild! Your pack and sled must weigh a ton! Keep up the vids they are amazing.
Xander, your joy and gratitude for the life you have today is beautiful. So happy for you. As a friend of Bill, I love seeing younger people finding their purpose and running with it. Being in the back country changed my life. Can't imagine not experiencing it. Amazing video!
If this guy only knew how much joy he brings to us all!
Love you too brother. Keep inspiring. Someone who admires you from India.
Every single time I have watched your video I learned something new. I never heard of snow fleas! I just love watching you.
One of the many things I like about your videos is that you get out there and do it. Gear isn’t super fancy, and you brave conditions even seasoned campers would shy away from. Thanks for the great content.
10:45 I love you too Mr. Budnick!
Hi Xander! This area was just beautiful. I like your vision of turning the forest into a camp, and then back again. That first supper was a "yeah baby!" Thanks for giving me joy.
This is my most favorite type of content. A good 2-3 nighter solo with the tarp, good food, and a good fire. Hate that winter is already close to the end!
I only recently stumbled across Xander's channel, but I've already watched most of his stuff over the past couple of weeks. I've been getting some crazy writer's block while working on my second book, and I've found that taking a break and watching one of his videos really helps me recharge my creative juices. I think it might be due to the relaxation they induce, or perhaps it's how they take me away from the stresses of my own life - I almost feel like I'm out there in the wilderness for a little while. Anyway, thanks for another great video!
That's how I feel too like I'm out there in the wilderness! 😊😊😊
did you already seeing the mukbang and gustavo videos? 😁
Pro tip to drying out your boots, put a bunch of drier sheets in your boots. It sucks up the moisture and makes your boots smell good. Ive been in the Army for a number of years and I never leave home without them. You can take a couple packs of drier sheets, put them in a zip lock bag, press out as much air as you can so you can pack them away nicely. Even put that lip locked bag with the drier sheets in with a bunch of other zip lock bags for extra bags for whatever you may need to keep dry later on. Most likely your local surplus store may have wet weather bags for your clothes to keep them dry.
One of the best locations and winter videos you had so far i absolutely love the location you picked by the river the sounds of nature mixed with the fire crackling is mesmerising
This isn't necessarily related to the video, per se, but I just wanted to point out how great of a community we have going here. Xander's is one of the view comment sections I'm always thrilled to read because I know it's always going to be overflowing with kindness and respect. Seriously awesome channel by all accounts, dude.
Always tell my son life is like a roller coaster. That first big hill can be daunting but once you get over it, it's a blast.
Thanks for being real.
Man, your videos always brighten my day up. Thank you for pushing yourself to get out there and film stuff for us, I'm sure you already know how much it impacts us all. Thanks for your effort and I'm sending you hugs.
Great video once again Xander, I wish I was there with you camping .... I love the outdoors .... I did a lot's camping myself in my young days ... But age will change everything ... getting to old I'm now in my 70's and all I can do is remember the great time I had camping with my older brother...... take care ....
We love you too. Watching your adventures and seeing you wake up in the morning makes me smile. Thanks for sharing your time with us.
Love you too... Pretty sure you're about the same age as my oldest grandson so I look at you through grandma eyes and I'm very proud of all that you're doing and Have overcome. And I love when you quietly sit and share your thoughts with us appreciate it very much. I bless you sweetie! From grandma in Portland Oregon!l
Another video so soon? Have I died and gone to heaven? Dude I love you too. I loved your last video. This is so great. Your videos are awesome. Times are so hard right now, my best friend was in a car accident and seriously hurt. Bills are stacking up. I know a lot of people in debt and struggling. I guess I am happy for my health and my family. And most of all for your videos which help me escape sometimes and get out in nature even if I can't do it myself. Thanks Xander!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love otters too, probably my favorite thing to run into in the bush. Another really nice video Xander.
Wow I have goose bumps on goose bumps, all I need now is a toasted cheese sandwich and to finish watching Xanders video. Xander you are the best fire bug on the planet, I’ve warmed up already. 😊🔥🥪
Your videos always inspire me to get out and explore deeper into the nature around me and take more chances with pushing my comfort zone. Thank you!
Xander, just wanted to thank you for sharing your experiences with us, and always being your silly and wholesome self!❤The combination of beautiful nature, quiet moments to reflect and goofing around makes it a pleasure to watch always. We love you as well! I went to a local aquarium a year ago in my city, and they had Otters as well, lovely to see them play.
It's really great to have such an experience
New subscriber here. Just discovered Xander after watching the video with him and Jon of Lost Lakes TH-cam channel. Been binge watching so many of these awesome outdoorsmen and women and their TH-cam channels. What a blessing to have been exposed to this awesome outdoor community and way of life. 😊
Xander motivates me so much to get up and out and enjoy the world! Hiking, camping, and good food. I'm in!! And then there are the snow fleas... Bleghk!
I love the group trips that you do, but honestly... just you eating too much food is peak xander love the vids ❤️
I really love your little humerus videos and your camera work on the treks
Appreciate how quickly you get these videos out...every few days it seems I have a multiple day trip to watch. Love it. Keep it coming my friend.
Simply put.....I just love all your treks and experiences. Been doing a bit of this myself this year as we have been pounded with snow in the Sierras......Thank you Xander....for such quality stuff.
What a beautiful spot!
Incredible again, Xander! Thank you for all these adventures it's the highlight of my day, every upload. 🌲🗻⛺❣️
Hi Xander :) You have a warm, bright and positive spirit please don’t ever change! Thank you for this wonderful video! Something about eating almost an entire bag of cheese that deeply resonates with my life as much as the beauty and calm of Mother Nature! If I could be animal, I would be an emperor penguin let’s play hehe! God bless you ❤️
Otters are my favorite too. Baby otters to be specific. So freaking adorable!
Love you too! I'm proud of you and all you have accomplished! You're an inspiration to many!
Dude... How does every video of yours just scratch an itch I didn't know I had. Equally as inspiring and entertaining as every other video you've made. Thanks Xander
Earth is your home 4sure. You made that look easy,its not. You did an amazing outstanding work 👏 🙌
Love you right back!! Your videos make me smile, and for a few moments nothing else matters. Thanks for taking us along. Your dinners looked so yummy.
I love the winter videos the best. Thanks for making them, man!
So glad you took us along!! The otters are amazing creatures. Not sure how you stay so warm in those frigid temperatures.
Sitting and catching up on the ones I’ve missed. Xander you are so much fun. Thank you for taking me places I would not get to see otherwise. Love your videos. Love you too ❤
That is an absolutely beautiful spot. Thanks for getting out so quick and soon appreciate it. Take good care of yourself and God-bless you!
Always love having a beer after work and watching your stuff Xander!
Love watching your videos, you make me smile even on a bad day!! Your such a beautiful person inside and out! I love watching you cook your food and better yet watching you enjoy it,lol. God Bless! 😊
Love your positive attitude toward everything. The winter landscapes in your video were epic. I took a couple of screenshots so maybe I could paint them. Thanks for taking us along Xander. It's always a pleasure to spend a little time with you. Stay safe, warm, and healthy!
You liking otters so much and you seeing otters out camping is no coincidence. Its the man upstairs making You happy and enjoying life the way life is supposed to be enjoyeed
Xander you should make a second channel that you just do a cooking show type vids. Also you should make a camp recipe book!!!! I’ve learned how to cook because of your cooking portions of your videos. It has given me motivation!!!!❤️
Thank you again Xander for another camping trip! We all love you too! Please be safe! God Bless you always! 🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊😊. Mike
This man is making content that I’m sure a lot of us (myself included) absolutely love. Great channel☮❤
Hey Xander, I just wanted to let you know I love you too buddy! Never change and please keep making these wonderful videos of yours. 🤗
Watching your winter videos is literally ASMR to me. It's the only way I sleep🙏🏾💯
And we love you to Xander! I'm so glad of how far you've come! You're funny and hilarious!
I stop everything for a Xander Budnick production! He is like a young Deeks from NCIS LA. Xander always hits it out of the park!
Heej Xander, Love you too man! Thank you for all your effort and going in the rain and snow to create awesome content for us and being an inspiration to be the director of your own life 🙂. All the best from the Netherlands.
thank you xander! you inspired me to finally get out and do some winter camping out on the bruce peninsula this weekend. It was a wonderful trip and exactly what I needed. I related a lot to your internal dialogue about whether its even something you enjoy. Enjoyment is only part of it, and if we focus on that it becomes unclear why we do this. Be well
Thats awesome my man
I just started watching you for over a week now. Every night. I love your videos, your silly but smart. I am learning how you do this.
what a glorious thud at 4:21, music to my hears.
I like your video angles & your attitude about cold weather. Thanks for sharing this trip. Good stuff!
Xander, I about had a heart attack when you jumped the creek. Be careful! But what a gorgeous, gorgeous area. Thanks for the firewood edits and thanks for taking us along.
Your meals always turn out well for you glad you enjoyed your time.
I honestly love your videos they are so relaxing an fun to watch i always watch them at night they put me to sleep thank you for making such amazing content you’re one of my favourite youtubers to watch 😄
Bro knows how to season his stuff!!! 💯💯💯
That waffle looked absolutely delicious!
Love it when people bring the fire under the tarp. Never under stood the eight feet away thing. Carry Canvas
I love when i do this in the cold woods of Sweden. .. nothing beats being alone whit the fire... much love
Great campsites, great cooking, great commentary, great scenery, great video!
Such a genuine person. Happy for you man!
You rock as always. I’m really glad you’re back at the solo winter tarp camping which are my favorites. Happy you felt energized by it again. Something about your solo journeys l feel we feel we get more Xander insights, humor, videography, and cooking. Go otters! Go calzones! Pass on the hot cedar flea cocoa 😅 Thanks!!
Thank you for the excellence you portray, you’re obviously tied closely to mother nature! And I think your Power Animal is an otter! You’re perfect for the part; happy, playful, alert, inquisitive and living in the present! Love watching your videos; stay well, Be well!
Just before I go to sleep, thanks Xander can't wait to watch!
Masterchef Backcountry. Xander for the win! Your work to get these videos to your viewers is just excellent. Thank you.
Really love your videos man. Im always on the lookout for new ones. I really appreciate the content
That meal just got real!! Love the snow scene shots especially the flowing water.
Thanks Xander. You’re a great inspiration. Keep going love your videos.😊
YES!!!!!!! Grrrrr8 start to the weekend!!! Love ur videos 🙏🏻❤️
Awesome couple nights out Xander. Those otters were definitely special. A good omen for sure.
Thanks
Nate
You Rock, Xander. Great trip, great video.
I think this is one of your best videos: possibly my favourite. Wish I had been there, but it makes me really happy and content watching you there!
Been waiting for these Solos to come back… keep the content coming
I often never know what to do and I always watch your videos: they calm me so much that I almost fall asleep. Love your content, keep it up.
Thank you for another fantastic adventure!!! ✨
Thank you Xander 😊 💓
such a beautiful video! thank you
Do your magic Zander!
I love you too brother, thank you for the videos. You're awesome!
Tks for the inspiration Tks for the snow fleas education.Mostly. 😳 the river side must have been so relaxing, a favourite of mine for sure. 😊
I love watching your videos before I sleep, they make me relax, but also make me hungry sometimes :)
youre the reason im getting my first backpack worth of camping gear! Thank you for inspiring me as I need a hobby that doesn't involve sitting around and smoking!
what fun is that watching you bring and cook your own food instead of hunting for it.
