Happy for you that they sponsor your video, but not a fan of expensive greens with limited benefits 😢. Sorry Xander, you can do better as the GOAT of wild adventures ❤
@@federicomurari3516it may be expensive but you can’t put a price on health! And the benefits are not limited! I have noticed a significant improvement in my overall health since I began drinking AG1 in the beginning of the year! :)
I do like the fact that when we see a cool shot of him walking, we know that he stopped, set up the camera, then staged himself walking, turned around and picked up the camera, then kept going. Dude is an excellent cinematographer on top of outdoorsman.
it's even more work to see him canoeing. He landed, framed it, went back out in the canoe and filmed it, then returned to grab the camera. Nice work! Dedication.
It always blows my mind that Xander goes ahead, sets up the camera, then goes back and canoes through a rapid - only to have to go back and get the camera again. The effort and quality of videos is incredible
Hard to not get a little emotional with what you said at the end of this video man. It’s so important to reconnect with the outdoors, especially with the world we live in today. You’re doing a great job by showing people the beauty of the world and what’s out there - thank you Xander! ❤️
Just one more comment Xander, you have truly earned that meeting with Hap, you are a remarkable woodsman and outdoorsman and it was totally earned, and I know you appreciated that meeting.
I grew up going to temagami every summer. Still go. My dad owns an island out there. Been in his family for over a hundred years. They used to canoe from mainland with all of their supplies to th e island. Now we have a 45 minute boat ride. The place is still entirely off grid. No showers. It’s the most special place in the whole world. Thanks for sharing.
Ok Xander...this is right up there with one of your best all time videos...having a coffee and a chat with Hap and his wife must be a great honor....and the shots under the waterfalls were amazing...love your videos...always have...you have turned into a top notch outdoorsman...much respect 🙏
Hey Xander… Denise from the family of four you passed by around Helen Falls. Jealous you met Hap, and very grateful you left us the site at Bridal Falls; one of our all time favourite sites. Loved the video. You have new subscribers in us. 😊
No WAY, i flew all the way from Germany to Ontario, i was out there 10 nights, just 1-2weeks ago, all because of your content and now you upload a video of THE SAME LAKES I'VE BEEN TO right after my trip???? This is insane, thx man
Got a job application in, booked my last two canoe trips of the year and now I open youtube to see a Xander video. Can't think of a better possible Tuesday!
Xander Budnwick, I truly hope you see this, as I would like to thank you for the effort you put into your videos, they are an absolute pleasure to watch, your channel has quickly become my favorite and iv actually watched all your video's to date! I hope to contline watching your video's for years to come! Also never stop being who you are, a phenomenal human being with great humor! From a fan of yours in South Africa, keep it up Xander!
What you've said in the end its spot on. Here in Argentina we have national parks but they are closed to the general public (you can only walk on short trails without leaving them and you can camp only in one or two areas at most, without making fire), and you cant go backcountry camping to other places because everything is private property surrounded by nasty wires and the owners will get you out of there with bullets and hunting dogs. Its a special thing what you guys have in canada and you should protect it at all cost and never let them (politicians and landlords) take it away from you. Loving your videos buddy!
Love the videos! Insanely high quality, and I believe you did a great sponsor segment, seamless and not overwhelming with any brand forced sentences. Excited to see what comes in the future for you and the channel!
As always…the amount of work you put in with trekking back and forth setting up the camera for different scenes is out of this world! Incredible job my guy.
The work you put into getting these angles is over the top amazing! Gorgeous scenes! Liked that you observed an offering for the ancestors. Also liked learning about Hap Wilson and what he is working to accomplish with education and awareness building of ecosystems. You always bring something new and interesting to your vids. Your videography is so good. Thanks.
Xander, I've recently started bingeing your videos, and I have to say that this one is the absolute best so far! (They're all good! ) The waterfalls and view from the top of Maple Mtn were gorgeous. What a treat to be invited to have coffee with Hap..that was awesome. It gives me a really good feeling to watch you enjoy getting under a waterfall, fishing, or eating a meal. I love your chill and happy vibe. Your channel, along with Jon & Erin on Lost Lakes, are my favorites! 💜
Absolutely beautiful on the lakes. The waterfalls did not disappoint and a wonderful visit at the lodge! Magnificent setting! Thank you Xander for the efforts to capture it all. One of your greatest works!!👏👏👏💕
Xander, you can't be taking your shirt off... my wife walked by and saw you fishing on the canoe and suddenly was very interested in your videos. keep up the good work brotha. i've officially watched all of your videos now and look forward to your future adventures.
Thanks for this, Xander! You just gave us a truly 1 hour and plus full documentary here.. and everything was Great! photography, story, talking, scenery, meals ahah everything! Just thank you man!
Really well done video man. That 30min shot to close things off was perfect👌 as were your closing statements. Glad you got the chance to paddle this route. I think it’s one of the nicest short(ish) trips I’ve ever taken anywhere and you captured it beautifully. Congrats on your 600k as well. Well deserved. 🛶
Thanks for the inspiration, you are doing what most woodsy outdoorsy type Canadians dream about. Canoe trips are the kind of sometimes unpleasant experiences that keep you coming back.
This video was off the charts! The scenery and falls were stunning, the cinemtography was superb, and the interlude with Hap was so cool and well deserved!! Maybe a paddle with Hap in the future..
That's one of my favourite routes. You captured it perfectly, especially the unique beauty of each set of falls. Really punched home your comments at the end. Editing was excellent as well. Thank you.
Loved the closing comments Xander. It really resonates with how I experience canoe tripping. Love the videos, quality sincere content and congrats on 600K.
I rarely watch hour long videos on youtube, but your videos make it really easy to do so. Great scenery and subject matter presented with great direction and editing. 🎥
Those falls were amazing. That whole area you were in is absolutely beautiful land. It was so awesome to see you leave an offering on top of Maple Mountain. Always professional and stellar content Xander, love it! 🙌😁
Thank you so much, Xander! I absolutely adore your videos, you're simply the best! I have a feeling that the next 1 hour and 12 minutes are going to be absolutely fantastic! Please keep up the fantastic work, sending lots of love from Ukraine!
I've been binging on Lost Lakes and this channel for about a week. Hap has become a legend in my mind and getting to interview and hang out with him is amazing. That lodge in incredible without even considering the remoteness.
You do an amazing job taking us with you on your journeys. You will always get a thumbs up from me. Also your effort on recording quality and shot placement is second to none.
Great job all around, and love your respect for nature and your cute comments to the fish you set back on their way ❣️ Thanks you for taking me with you on your journeys ❣️
Best start to your day to see a video like this pop up. Haven't even started watching it yet and it already makes your day better. Really loving these fishing and camping videos
Dang Xander, that's way cool that you got to have that little coffee lunch break with Hap. What an awesome experience to have along your own adventure.
I really, really liked the way you closed this one out. And you are spot on about the importance of these places. Another great video, thank you for sharing with us Xander!
What a beautiful and unique experience! I've always been an advocate of conservation of nature for nature's sake, but over the last few years I've started learning to fish and forage for food every day. I'm starting to realize now that a meaningful connection to nature that includes food is the real meaning of life. A lot of people are missing out on this essential part of being human these days and that's gotta change.
You have captured what it means to be in the wilderness so wonderfully. So glad you're starting to get that sponsor cash man. You deserve it. You land somewhere and set up the camera, then re-land there again for the shot. So wild to think about what you do for the cinematic feel you get from the videos you've been making. Beautiful. Keep it up.
Love it, love it, love it. Tumblehome here. I just got back from an 8 day loop up there and also stopped in for a chat with Hap and Andrea... such nice peeps! I sat in that same chair :-) It was kind of like the twilight zone for a bit... one minute bashing away on those rugged ports and the next, sitting on the deck enjoying great conversation and an amazing coffee. Fantastic ending! I'm so happy to see you doing so well Xander :-)
Duuuude, that was an amazing trip Xander! Your visit with Hap was awesome, and those waterfalls, oh my, gorgeous! Glad you took us with you behind the one, one of my most favorite shots you ever filmed. That was a blast! Looking forward to your next one.
One of my favorite trip videos I've ever seen. Meeting and spending time with the outdoorsman author was cool, and I'm totally super jealous of that house.
Xander, perhaps the best video you have ever done. Amazing videographer with attention to detail. Funny, sarcastic and yet so real. What a great time with coffee and a legend. You have taken things to another level. You hard ass, keep living the dream and showing us your abilities. My brother you are a special breed.
xander! not sure if you remember, but we met at the climbing gym in toronto! I guide canoe trips in temagami at the camp where you put in! I'm super familiar with all the places you went on this trip, makes me so happy to see you paddled in the area where i started canoe trips and now guide! also just wanted to share some info I learned this past summer about the people of this land. Your route travelled through Anishinabewaki and n'Daki Menan (meaning "our land"), the traditional territory of the Temagami First Nation and Teme-Augama Anishinabai (pronounced te-mee-aw-guh-muh)("deep water by the shore people") and Maple Mountain is known as Chee-bay-jing, which means "the place where the spirits go" anyways ya thanks for sharing your trip! I really enjoyed it :)
Finally got to the end. From lunch on the deck on. Things i loved: I love the fact that you canoed to a place got out, set up the camera and got back in the boat, paddled away and then paddled back to the camera! I loved the waterfalls I love the fact that when you guys take a bath, you do the laundry at the same time I love the fact that you are concerned about the bass populations I love the fact that you take care of wherever you go no matter what. I love scratches! She’s the best! I loved the words at the end! You’re a cool dude Xander. Thanks for all you do! NQU
That visit with Hap Wilson was truly amazing ! What a Legend! A current one meeting with another one! Keep that in mind! The future is ahead of you to make it yours and ours! Fantastic!
I enjoy mushrooms. If I was starving in the woods, I would still pass them up. A neighbor of mine was a mushroom expert. He and two other experts died eating forest mushrooms. It takes like 5 full cups of mushrooms to amount to 100 calories. No, just no.
Thank you so much, for making these videos Xander. I absolutely love the older ones, they're so amazing. Beautiful cinematography and just such a cool guy! Thanks again
You got me with the silent nature shots, the water, the birds, you climbing to the top, you seem like a kind person and yes, now I'm hooked. About to share this video right now! Good job!
Watched the new Himalayan hike video (excellent). Got hooked. Now binge watching from the first river float video as a young Xander and currently on this video. Love seeing the progression and sincerely entertained. Cheers to an adventurous 2025!
Found your channel on a whim and couldn't be happier! I'm on end of life care at home here in New Zealand. I'm 30 and have a terminal primary brain cancer called Glioblastoma Multiforme. Your videos give me so much escapism I couldn't be more grateful for what you do. I always wished to visit Canada, basically don't need to thanks to you and your channel. Thank you - I appreciate what you do.
Zander I just loved your latest Temagami trip it was awesome!!! Thanks so much for sharing!! I appreciate the scenery , wildlife and your great company!! ❤
I've watched a lot of your videos and this is the best. Best bit is the footage in the waterfall. The sound of the water washing over you is incredible. I love watching your videos but I don't always wish I was there... but this one was different. That absolute final shot is incredible...have no idea how you got it.
Wow Xander!❤ This video is (at present) is absolutely our number 1 🏆 "trophy favorite" of yours and my wife & I have seen 👀 A LOT of your videos! I'm pretty sure I will have to go there at some point. I've been down w/an injury all week and this video made me feel the best I've felt all week. Thanks man, thank you very much.😊👌👍 Like all outdoor folks I know of, "may the wind always be at your back" Until the next one, .... MW, out!😊🤙
Thank you for your videos Xander. They are done so professionally. I love the temagami area. I used to work as a Jr. Ranger in temagami and I did work on the tower watching for fires. That was in 1969. You had such an opportunity to meet Hap the legend
Doing outdoor activities like camping, hiking, canoeing and as well as watching your channel has helped me so much in the past few years with my crack cocaine addiction.
Man I was having a bad day today. Watching you enjoy the beautiful outdoors for an hour or so instantly made my day better. Thanks for doing your thing, I hope you know how much you brighten people's days
Enjoyed this trip. Especially the introduction Mr Wilson cabin. You are right its important that we protect mother nature. Looking forward to your next adventure.
OMG it's so beautiful to see. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️. I am long in the tooth and am no longer able to do the things that I once cherished. You bring us back to the many wonders of the great mother. Thanks again.❤👍🫶🙏🤝

I totally agree with you!!
I was just thinking the same ❤
MMMMEEEE TTTTOOOOO🎉🎉🎉
Does he do that or just use the drone in a stationary position? I've been wondering that myself.
Me too

comments like this make me feel cry
Man Child...you make me smile. Your pure enjoyment of this trip (and others) is infectious. Thank you.
100%

Strap in boys this one’s gonna be good

Well produced Xand .One of the best places on earth and it’s in our backyard. Thanks for promoting conservation and hats off to Hap 🇨🇦
Got a job application in, booked my last two canoe trips of the year and now I open youtube to see a Xander video. Can't think of a better possible Tuesday!
Just don't go while Xander is out there I think he might be a serial killer 💀
Your concluding monologue really did sum it all up. There is a place for everything in this world including pure wilderness!! It HAS to be protected!
I like you adding the birds, fungi, plants and other small creatures; rounds out what the forests are like up there.
Xander really has a calling for his story telling . I feel like im riding along enjoying every single trip.
Amazing job man. Thank you
Agreed!!!

Never stop posting bro, love watching your adventures. Almost feels like I'm also there. Gives peace to my busy brain.
As always…the amount of work you put in with trekking back and forth setting up the camera for different scenes is out of this world! Incredible job my guy.
It's nothing to him. He's out there looking for people to kill 💀
The work you put into getting these angles is over the top amazing! Gorgeous scenes!

Thanks for the route idea brother. I was cursing you when I was porting all those falls but what a beautiful place :)
Your videos are such a great escape from everything. For an hour, we are camping in canada and we are nowhere else. Really pleasant watch man !
Thanks for the inspiration, you are doing what most woodsy outdoorsy type Canadians dream about. Canoe trips are the kind of sometimes unpleasant experiences that keep you coming back.
Yes, Very Inspirational ! 💗💕💕💖💖💖

That's one of my favourite routes. You captured it perfectly, especially the unique beauty of each set of falls. Really punched home your comments at the end. Editing was excellent as well. Thank you.
speechless at how good these videos are.
I really wish I could live a life like this, but there is truly no way for me to do anything like this, props to Xander for giving us a slice of it
Same thoughts here. Living the dream.
Loved the closing comments Xander. It really resonates with how I experience canoe tripping. Love the videos, quality sincere content and congrats on 600K.
I rarely watch hour long videos on youtube, but your videos make it really easy to do so. Great scenery and subject matter presented with great direction and editing. 🎥
I love the long videos to unwind after a long day!! Thanks for the hour long video Xander!!! Keep em coming! ❤
Absolutely. Same thoughts here. He makes it easy. Great story teller
Those falls were amazing. That whole area you were in is absolutely beautiful land. It was so awesome to see you leave an offering on top of Maple Mountain. Always professional and stellar content Xander, love it! 🙌😁
I've been suffering from migraines alot and im so grateful your videos are calming and relaxing, it eases my suffering a bit. Thanks!
Thank you so much, Xander! I absolutely adore your videos, you're simply the best!
I have a feeling that the next 1 hour and 12 minutes are going to be absolutely fantastic!
Please keep up the fantastic work, sending lots of love from Ukraine!
I've been binging on Lost Lakes and this channel for about a week. Hap has become a legend in my mind and getting to interview and hang out with him is amazing. That lodge in incredible without even considering the remoteness.
What a beautiful adventure, thank you Xander! 🌿🌿
Fabulous video - years ago I spent almost 3 weeks with my late uncle in Temagami, and I carry so many amazing memories from that trip.
You do an amazing job taking us with you on your journeys. You will always get a thumbs up from me. Also your effort on recording quality and shot placement is second to none.
Xander, the peace of what you’re doing and the where you are is straight up envy.
Good luck on future adventures. I’ll be watching. Thanks dude!
Beautiful work Xander, you really captured the peace and serenity of the park. Thank you.
Great job all around, and love your respect for nature and your cute comments to the fish you set back on their way ❣️ Thanks you for taking me with you on your journeys ❣️
nothing else on youtube is like Xander’s content, excited for this one
Nothing but Found Ponds lol
Period.

Incredible footage of the lone paddler buddy. Temagami is so beautiful. Love your videos!
Love it, love it, love it. Tumblehome here. I just got back from an 8 day loop up there and also stopped in for a chat with Hap and Andrea... such nice peeps!

the sound of the water and breeze is peace
xander! not sure if you remember, but we met at the climbing gym in toronto! I guide canoe trips in temagami at the camp where you put in! I'm super familiar with all the places you went on this trip, makes me so happy to see you paddled in the area where i started canoe trips and now guide! also just wanted to share some info I learned this past summer about the people of this land.

High five! 🙌 VERY NICE
Thanks!
Gotta appreciate the amount of time and effort he puts in to these videos, always a good day when Xander uploads
Yes!!!
Finally got to the end. From lunch on the deck on.
Things i loved:
I love the fact that you canoed to a place got out, set up the camera and got back in the boat, paddled away and then paddled back to the camera!
I loved the waterfalls
I love the fact that when you guys take a bath, you do the laundry at the same time
I love the fact that you are concerned about the bass populations
I love the fact that you take care of wherever you go no matter what.
I love scratches! She’s the best!
I loved the words at the end!
You’re a cool dude Xander. Thanks for all you do!
NQU
I love your comment! ty
Thanks for this, I find these videos inspiring on a deep level. Doing my first wild camp and canoe across Scotland next April. Wish me luck ✌🏻
Sounds like a great excursion. Good luck and have fun.
I appreciate your videos so much. Seeing places that most of us will never see. Thank you for taking us along 🛶
Another epic production by the man Xander!! Did you get a new camera? cuz it looks sooo sharp and clear. Thanks for all the beautiful nature scenes!
That visit with Hap Wilson was truly amazing ! What a Legend! A current one meeting with another one! Keep that in mind! The future is ahead of you to make it yours and ours! Fantastic!

Wasn't expecting interaction with others mid video but that last two minutes really hit it out of the park.
Thanks Xander.
I love the humor you put into your videos! Keep these coming Xander!
I've watched a lot of your videos and this is the best. Best bit is the footage in the waterfall. The sound of the water washing over you is incredible. I love watching your videos but I don't always wish I was there... but this one was different. That absolute final shot is incredible...have no idea how you got it.
that. was. aweeeesome! Thanks for enduring all the painstakingly painful portages and taking us with you! Enjoyed every moment ☺peace.
You do such awesome work with your camera. You put it all together beautifully. Thank you for taking us along your journeys. Love your silly humor.❤
VERY cool to run into the Wilsons. They seem like great people. What a treat, and thanks for sharing that part.
Wow Xander!❤
This video is (at present) is absolutely our number 1 🏆 "trophy favorite" of yours and my wife & I have seen 👀 A LOT of your videos! I'm pretty sure I will have to go there at some point. I've been down w/an injury all week and this video made me feel the best I've felt all week. Thanks man, thank you very much.😊👌👍
Like all outdoor folks I know of, "may the wind always be at your back"
Until the next one, ....
MW, out!😊🤙
Thank you for your videos Xander. They are done so professionally. I love the temagami area. I used to work as a Jr. Ranger in temagami and I did work on the tower watching for fires. That was in 1969. You had such an opportunity to meet Hap the legend
Absolutely awesome !!!!! Definitely one of my most favorite canoe camping vids I’ve ever seen . Thanks Xander :))))
Doing outdoor activities like camping, hiking, canoeing and as well as watching your channel has helped me so much in the past few years with my crack cocaine addiction.
Man I was having a bad day today. Watching you enjoy the beautiful outdoors for an hour or so instantly made my day better. Thanks for doing your thing, I hope you know how much you brighten people's days
Enjoyed this trip. Especially the introduction Mr Wilson cabin. You are right its important that we protect mother nature. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Hands down Xander's videos are the best outdoor videos in the world. Hat's off another master piece and thanks for taking us with you, Xander.
A most wonderful, relaxing video. The work it took to make it, I can't imagine but oh, we get to enjoy really a masterpiece. Thank you.
Thanks mate love your content been subbed since you had only 1k subs love all the way from Australia ❤
OMG it's so beautiful to see. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️. I am long in the tooth and am no longer able to do the things that I once cherished. You bring us back to the many wonders of the great mother.
Thanks again.❤👍🫶🙏🤝
I love the long form videos lately! As always I'm saving this one for when I can sit down and enjoy it!
Lots of fire in Canada, Maui, America, and everywhere WW. Some memories are lost forever. Makes me feel bad.
Really awesome they are trying to save the 5,000 yr old trails.
