    Xander you have easily become one of my favorites to watch on TH-cam. Your humor, sense of adventure and clear appreciation for the wilderness make for great videos that we all can appreciate. Keep up the great work and I look forward to continue watching all of your content. Well done from all aspects.

    At 25:12 we can see something very interresting that hits me, Xander smiles at us like he realised the power of his footages. Quality and Quantity are both respected in his case. It's as if he understand once again that yes he gets to enjoy so much of it but he allows thousands of people to live it with him.
    Thank you for your videos Xander ! You seem proud of your work and you should be !

    Looking at that lake at the end of day 2 brings back some childhood memories. We lived on Lake Conway in Arkansas.
