Can we appreciate the fact that he films in such a way that it seems like we follow him into the paths he takes.. but in reality he puts the camera in a place, walks away from it, AND walks back to get the camera back, and so on and so on.. so its 3X of hard work, just to give us a better watch experience.. this dude is awesome
Bro you’re literally awesome, i can’t stand TH-cam anymore cause nothings entertaining but you’re too chill and wholesome, absolute blast to watch and join you on these trips, stay healthy and safe man
There's PLENTY that is informative and entertaining on TH-cam. This is a wonderful channel. One of MANY at our fingertips. Why CHOOSE crankiness plus your statement is a bold faced lie. Narrow mindedness is boring.
I cannot express how happy I am to have discovered that channel, perfect blend of light hearted humor, relaxing and mesmerizing content. You’re an absolute gem, won’t be long before absolutely blowing up! Keep up the fantastic work man ✊🏻
I enjoy seeing you encounter a problem, talk us through it, and work at a solution with positivity. It looks difficult and a little tiring, but it’s part of the journey.
Hands down the best wild camping channel out there. Informative, interesting, and pure escapism. Watching these vids brings me hope, peace, and much needed head space. Thank you Xander!
I love your overly confident cooking choices. You surprise me every time with what you can accomplish in the middle of the woods with a pan and a knife.
Those fish shots were beautiful, the drone footage went very well with this trip, always appreciate the effort you put into filming these, especially at this length!!
That scene where you seen the baby moose and heard the mama make that noise and seeing your reaction was exciting and seeing all those fish was pretty cool too👍🐟🛶
literally found this channel like 3 days back and since then i've been watching it every day when i get home from work. great work Xander! Thank you for putting out the content
It's crazy the lengths you go to for cinematic views. You set up the camera, pick up Patches walk a few yards then put Patches down and pick up the Camera. You are awesome.
This must be one of your best videos ever! We have everything: adventure, suspense, comedy, and that eerie overview of your boat amidst the fish, so awesome! Your growth as a director is so evident and you have this talent of making us feel like we're right there with you. Congrats Xander, may you always be safe and never lose that ability to find magic and wonder in Nature and the Great Outdoors!
Right on glad to hear! I didn't think it was anything special tbh. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to write that - comments like this are so motivating !!!
That moment (18:45) when the baby moose was calling for his mom and the mother gave you the 'don't mess with my baby' sound...that was intense! I can understand why it's the most replayed moment in this video. Great job keeping calm & catching all that for us to see👍 ❤
Another stunning video, Zander. Loved the modeling...lol. I really appreciate how you don't hold anything back, and show nature in all it's glory and it's trials. I might be a cripple in a wheelchair, but watching you has given me, a real desire to break free, and start riding horses again. I know it will be a struggle, but I look forward to it. Thanks Zander. Your my inspiration. God bless. P. S. Your fire making skills are solid, no matter what anyone says.
Thanks Kim I appreciate that. Do what you can with what you have, I'm sure there's loads you can still do and if riding is your passion and im sure it's still possible, take advantage of this beautiful life we have eh
I really love seeing the struggles and mistakes. It’s so rare for people to be vulnerable that way to kudos to you - love all the videos bro, keep enjoying yourself
Man you handled that frustration and annoyance so well. Great mental strength. Another awesome vid! Love the reviews, the cooking, the campsite chores, the length of the videos, everything. Very enjoyable to watch.
Shots in the video. which describes how hard you work to become more creative 1) 16:57 Amazing, Amazing, Amazing shot 2) 22:28 The effort that you put in that shot to make it look better was good. Looked like you were helping the Canoe to cross the river. Instead of Canoe helping you. Thanks for showing us all the challenges you face to create a video.
This was my first video that I have seen of you and wow you blew me away! The banter level, comedic relief, sense of adventure and FOOD was great. What a way to spend a rainy Sunday night. Thank you and subscribed.
Another amazing video! Patches is even more memorable now that we've seen her go the distance. That looked tough but so much fun! Thanks for another great video good sir
incredible filming/editing, and even more impressive and inspiring is your relentlessly positive attitude! can’t imagine how much energy it took to make it through all those strainers, but you still had energy for some goofing around during the headlamp review!? 😂 awesome. can’t wait to watch more of your excellent content!
So many effort to make this video. I can't even imagine when you cross the river with so many fallen trees and you still have time to record it. I think that's really insane. Really apreciate Man. 👍👍👍
Only just recently found your channel but seeing your channel take off in such a short time is amazing and well earned! You have a calm vibe on your videos that makes them so calming and great to watch! Can't wait till you share more amazing adventures!
Being flexible keeps a person from breaking. I have had a few tough trips but after the pains goes away, I only remember the best parts and that makes it worth it. Well done again.
The honest review was well appreciated. I think there's definitely space for that honest of a critique and display of a product, and it's well welcomed in a space where advertisement has become ubiquitously subversive. Love your videos, going to try my hand at some camping because of it!
Love your videos Xander, you've inspired me to start getting into bushcraft! Im from Ontario and after watching your videos all week I ordered a bunch of gear and plan to go on my own camping trips because of you. Also, as intense as the situation must have felt I couldn't help but chuckle when the Moose made that warning grunt at you especially after seeing you imitate it lol. I look forward to watching more of these!
The effort, time, and patience this man puts in his every video. 🥺 Just going back and forth to set up the camera ahead or behind him is extremely unbelievable to imagine. Given the drone, it’s not really easy. I love every videos! ❤️ He deserve appreciation! 🤙🏻
I have been going through so much lately and these videos just erase all the memory of the bad stuff I want to go camping with him it’s like an escape from my depression
I’ve watched your entire Chanel’s content in the span of 3 days and this has become my favourite yt chanel! Even inspired me to go for a tramp/camp for the first time in a long time
The last time he said that surviving in these kind of situations makes him appreciate the simple things when he goes back home. Man, that made me stay and keep this channel a little safe place.
The overhead drone shots with the fish & canoe were super cool. Those flies look relentless!! And just watching you work makes me hungry! Cool, and challenging, trip.
I just found this channel and its currently 4am because I can't stop watching. You've definitely inspired me to do some backpacking - I just need to learn everything first lmao. Also, not only are you an absolute camping beast but you've got natural knack for cinematography. The brush is scared of this man.
@@XanderBudnick I apologize if you've already done this, but would you ever consider making a video for beginners? How/where to find a place to go and what to bring? That'd be awesome! Or you could just do a short blurb in one of your normal trips. Keep killin it!
I would never ever have courage to camp outside alone. You are such a tough survivor! Well done! And the scenes you took are beautiful, thank you for all of these.
Dude... just discovered your channel. Love it! Love the videos. Love the adventures, and really appreciate your positive attitude through all of it and in the face of adversity. Pretty damn inspiring. Thanks for sharing these!
Those saws are designed to only cut on the pull stroke...the blade has to be in tensionwhen you cut, not compression. Don't saw back and forth like you did. That's how you snapped the blade.
I've watched around a handful of your videos now and I must say you're my favourite bush channel. Your videos are so unforced, natural, but yet have so much structure to them that it immerses me right off the bat. I can now say with confidence that I could survive a few days out in the wilderness without hassle, thanks for the tips and great content man. Keep it up.
You know, what makes your videos more interesting is your great sense of humour. You have funny bone in you! And I enjoy your videos so much because of that...
The effort you put in is immense, your film making is great, the video quality is great, the cooking is great, the only things that sucks is your fire making.
@@XanderBudnick should have made a fire pit, when you started the fire on the ground...all i was thinking was forest fire with all those dry materials around there
Lots of things I enjoy about your videos. This time I loved your light show, you really have the moves and patches can sure take a beating. That was a good buy for you. Cheers and thanks
That's pretty funny...we actually witnessed a satanic ritual across the river from us one night...true story...Chattooga Section 2. They were dancing around with their headlamps on around the campfire...
@@filippyknow that was a trip dude. Chick yelled "SATAN" and dumped some pyrotechnic chemicals in the fire and it went WHOOSH I was pissed cuz I had no binoculars, and I bet they were nekkid, dang it.
@@robjones8733 lmao! I was imagining them wearing dark robes but nekkid is better. I just hope they werent like grannies or your eyes will probably need those pyrotechnic chemicals as well. I need to experience this kind of shit, something that will raise my heart beat and will make me run so fast like im being chased by a bear
Xander, single handedly sawing his way through dead trees, blazing the trail for future portage travelers! I picture the pioneers doing this exact thing, minus the dress shirt. This was excellent Xander, I was exhausted just watching.
By the way, have you considered doing a gear run-through? Looking to get into camping like you, but I lack many of the essential items - and I also lack the knowledge! A run-through would be great!
Well I’m hooked ever since I saw you with Jon on Lost Lakes I started following your channel.. love your humor.. your modelling was hilarious ..and your honesty is refreshing
Xander I hope you see this, but I currently have 2 newborn twins in NICU and your videos have been just absolutely calming and binge worthy. You've helped ease my mind and pass some timr while sitting for 14-16hrs a day. For that sir I thank you
I love the fact that when you got given a freebie from a company, you don’t pretend like it’s the best thing in the world like every other TH-camr. Keep it up mate
Dude you are like a breath of fresh air When it comes to this Bush crafting solo camping kayaking fishing adventuring video world we're in now U are not pretentious, Arrogant, Egotistically flamboyantly annoying, you don't Hide any mistakes that I can see Or sugarcoat a thing ,you show every mistake And triumph alike. I'm not saying everybody out there Is egotistical And annoying But there are enough So far you are the hero of the solo adventurer to me Thanks for good video and contact I will live Vicariously through you until I get well enough to get back out there again myself.
Right on my friend I'm happy to hear that. Ill be honest I never much enjoyed alot of the content out there although I love the activities myself. Thanks for commenting my friend.
A guy who enjoys so much the food.....(I am thin too...but i can feel you...)one of the best things in life.....Be good and Safe..!!!Greetings from the ''other'' part of the world....Greece...!!!
(August 9, 2022) A great challenge managing those logs obstructing your way along the river. Xander, you are one of a kind, buddy! Thank you for sharing with us your canoeing and camping exploits.
Hi Xander! Thank you so much for making wonderful videos! I just found out your channel yesterday and now I gotta watch them all! I really love everything in your videos especially how you interact with your audience in your videos, how you set up your fire, the food you made, and the ASMR-ish sounds in your videos (it's surprisingly so clear I love it). I feel peace by just watching your videos. I have never canoeing before, but this video makes me feel like I was canoeing (with you). Wonderful experience by just watching your videos. What a time to be alive despite this pandemic status in my country and neverending self-quarantine. Keep up the amazing work! love you!
Hello Chocozelnut. Glad you're enjoying them that much! I'm definitely working to make the best content possible 🙂 happy to hear all that. Aye keep strong my friend we're getting through it 😊
Watching his videos from last 2 months and I do enjoy this... Honestly the way he struggled and didnt give up on the fallen trees in the river that trapped his path every paddle of the way is a good lesson and even though he laughed about it... Subscribed and Liked... Last but not least...Fish drone shot was awesome
Dude can I just say I think you are the first TH-cam I have seen to take the time to actually go through and reply to all your followers it’s awesome!! I only found you maybe almost 2 weeks ago but I’m hooked keep it up love the outdoors!
Hey Ethan. Thanks man I enjoy the comments and I'm definitely trying. I can see why it's not super common, it getting harder and harder for me the respond as my channel grows which is a blessing and a curse :p glad you're enjoying the content my friend!!
Hello from Minnesota! Loved this one!! It is so easy to be oblivious to just how much work doing a video like this is. Please keep making them, we love to watch!
I think my favorite thing about your videos is you are consistent in how you do things. Like I hadn't seen the video where you say why you lay down until earlier today but you always lay down at sites because it'd suck to have to move after camp is set up. But also you don't wear the same crap the whole day when it's soggy. Lots of good habits are conveyed and I appreciate them. I'm looking to get into dispersed camping across lake huron and maybe do stuff like this at a later date.
Hey Guys! Longer Video this week! Wondering how you guys all feel about the length? Bueno? No Bueno? lemme know :p
and thanks for watching!
Longer the video the better👍
Bueno 👌👌
@@brodiejack422 that's what she said
Wait, it says that Xander’s comment was 10 hours ago even tho the video says it was uploaded 20 minutes ago.. huh
perfect
"I don't think bears are attracted to the smell of flour."
*flips the steaks over*
(facepalm)
Thank you for making this comment. I was thinking it. Great moment.
Meanwhile, the mosquitoes are finding their own hot piece of steak.
I would love to camp but I have the feeling of people constantly watching me😂
@@jordanbautista8351 yah nobody is there
That shot with the fishes was astounding.
Yeah😊
Agreed. Great camera work all around
Came to the comments hoping someone would say that! Agreed
The aerial one too. Is he using a drone?
It’s fish
Can we appreciate the fact that he films in such a way that it seems like we follow him into the paths he takes.. but in reality he puts the camera in a place, walks away from it, AND walks back to get the camera back, and so on and so on.. so its 3X of hard work, just to give us a better watch experience.. this dude is awesome
Thanks my man!!
Fucken hell. This guy needs a raise
Absolutely right
That's cause he's Canadian and has watched alot of Survivorman ;)
I see it man, kudos maximos Xander
Bro you’re literally awesome, i can’t stand TH-cam anymore cause nothings entertaining but you’re too chill and wholesome, absolute blast to watch and join you on these trips, stay healthy and safe man
And he has plans to sail all over the world too. If he ever makes videos for those too that would be sick.
There's PLENTY that is informative and entertaining on TH-cam. This is a wonderful channel. One of MANY at our fingertips. Why CHOOSE crankiness plus your statement is a bold faced lie. Narrow mindedness is boring.
@@earthangel8730 nit
picking for the sake of nit picking man, chill a little :(
You’ve quickly become one of favorite channels. Just a dude going out and enjoying the land. It’s so relaxing
Happy to hear that :D
I cannot express how happy I am to have discovered that channel, perfect blend of light hearted humor, relaxing and mesmerizing content. You’re an absolute gem, won’t be long before absolutely blowing up! Keep up the fantastic work man ✊🏻
Thank my friend! happy to hear that :D
Man’s soul just left his body right after mama moose made that sound.
Lol totally
He was like oh shit time to go nobody want to deal with that moose who looking for her calf
Mine did too. Lol
my soul left my body when that mom made that noise
I enjoy seeing you encounter a problem, talk us through it, and work at a solution with positivity. It looks difficult and a little tiring, but it’s part of the journey.
Thanks buddy

Glad you enjoyed it! :D
That scene where you seen the baby moose and heard the mama make that noise and seeing your reaction was exciting and seeing all those fish was pretty cool too👍🐟🛶
What I ABSOLUTELY LOVE is the silent storytelling in every video of what it’s like to set, maintain, and take down a campsite. Consistent, beautiful.
literally found this channel like 3 days back and since then i've been watching it every day when i get home from work. great work Xander! Thank you for putting out the content

Cool moments eh
I would never ever have courage to camp outside alone. You are such a tough survivor! Well done! And the scenes you took are beautiful, thank you for all of these.

ill get another blade lol - I also have the SIlky big boy too :D

I'm not saying everybody out there Is egotistical And annoying But there are enough So far you are the hero of the solo adventurer to me Thanks for good video and contact I will live Vicariously through you until I get well enough to get back out there again myself.
Right on my friend I'm happy to hear that. Ill be honest I never much enjoyed alot of the content out there although I love the activities myself. Thanks for commenting my friend.
A guy who enjoys so much the food.....(I am thin too...but i can feel you...)one of the best things in life.....Be good and Safe..!!!Greetings from the ''other'' part of the world....Greece...!!!
The modeling segment with the headlamp cracked me up. I love when you bring that crazy sense of humor into the trips.
Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor, my friend. Thanks for taking us with you!
Your videos are awesome! You do such amazing work.
(August 9, 2022) A great challenge managing those logs obstructing your way along the river. Xander, you are one of a kind, buddy! Thank you for sharing with us your canoeing and camping exploits.
Hi Xander! Thank you so much for making wonderful videos! I just found out your channel yesterday and now I gotta watch them all! I really love everything in your videos especially how you interact with your audience in your videos, how you set up your fire, the food you made, and the ASMR-ish sounds in your videos (it's surprisingly so clear I love it). I feel peace by just watching your videos.
I have never canoeing before, but this video makes me feel like I was canoeing (with you). Wonderful experience by just watching your videos.
What a time to be alive despite this pandemic status in my country and neverending self-quarantine. Keep up the amazing work! love you!
Hello Chocozelnut. Glad you're enjoying them that much! I'm definitely working to make the best content possible 🙂 happy to hear all that. Aye keep strong my friend we're getting through it 😊
Watching his videos from last 2 months and I do enjoy this... Honestly the way he struggled and didnt give up on the fallen trees in the river that trapped his path every paddle of the way is a good lesson and even though he laughed about it... Subscribed and Liked... Last but not least...Fish drone shot was awesome
Well I’ve watched all your videos now. I don’t do that often. You’ve got something special here! I pray for your safety on these adventures. Blessings
Beautiful overview of an ancient meandering stream. The glacier was quite the artist.
I don't usually go for gear reviews but your review was hilarious!! This is the best outdoor channel I have seen in ages!
Dude can I just say I think you are the first TH-cam I have seen to take the time to actually go through and reply to all your followers it’s awesome!! I only found you maybe almost 2 weeks ago but I’m hooked keep it up love the outdoors!
Hey Ethan. Thanks man I enjoy the comments and I'm definitely trying. I can see why it's not super common, it getting harder and harder for me the respond as my channel grows which is a blessing and a curse :p glad you're enjoying the content my friend!!
Floating over the fish is over the top dude. Maybe one of the best shots I've ever seen in a camping video.
Hello from Minnesota! Loved this one!! It is so easy to be oblivious to just how much work doing a video like this is. Please keep making them, we love to watch!
I think my favorite thing about your videos is you are consistent in how you do things.
Like I hadn't seen the video where you say why you lay down until earlier today but you always lay down at sites because it'd suck to have to move after camp is set up.
But also you don't wear the same crap the whole day when it's soggy.
Lots of good habits are conveyed and I appreciate them. I'm looking to get into dispersed camping across lake huron and maybe do stuff like this at a later date.
This channel gives me peace and tranquility. thank you
Happy to hear
My current binge channel. This stuff is awesome. Keep it up Xander!
