Xander you are the baddest man on the planet! In 3 days I will be 8 years sober. Watching you, having listened to you open up about your struggles, strengthens my resolve. Tons of respect and gratitude for you brother. Keep it rollin’!
Hey man I found your channel by watching Clay H I live near him if you ever want to do a trip in Idaho I would love to come along i could provide a place to stay in Lewiston if you’re interested great videos man I’m jelly
I laughed this morning when I looked at my buddy from the passenger seat of his 2007 LE Camry (250k miles! And only $5k of replacement parts!!!) And I said, "We go places." And he replied. "Close enough."
Just unsubbed, cuz of the ad crap all the time. Trying to watch a video, not an advertisement. If i want toyota ads, i'll go to the toyota channel.......
@@daant2892 So did I, I used to watch his videos explicitly because it was usually just him--on foot, alone in the wilderness, sometimes with a pal. Just him and the woods and the sights and sounds of nature. I watched @Xander Budnick's videos to cope with the sounds of highway traffic bc I lived too close to the freeway and the sound of traffic and knowing the health effects I was suffering from all the carcinogenic dust from all the vehicles was impacting my mental health and blood pressure. I watched his videos because they let me get away from cars. Now his videos are apparently car ads. I would rather sub to a patreon than watch this crap. unsubbed. @wrighty338
He's in the top .01% of YTbrs that take sponsors and it doesn't make me want to poke my eyes out. Always creative and entertaining even if I have no interest in the sponsor itself.
Xander. You're really becoming a king at editing. It was so freaking good and enjoyable and funny too man. Really keep it up. Might be one of your best videos. Love the music too
Wow. I'm an indoor girl who likes perfume and Chanel, and the idea of driving to Nunavut does not interest me in the slightest, but I find myself continually coming back to your channel to watch you brave the outdoors. "Epic", as they say. Love to see the huge sponsorships for you Xander :).
Thank you Xander - I really enjoyed this trip. I’m going to read-up on this area and the people living there. Love the driving scenes with you or Max talking about the areas. It’s great to be able to see so much as a 75 yr old disabled person sitting in a chair in my living room. Also enjoy all the drone scenes. Xander 4’ 11”not buying it. Best regards / Greg USA. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Greetings Mr. Budnick, I'm a random dude in a sea of random people. But I am happy to see you're doing well. I have watched many of your videos in my free time, and I often think about the struggles you have overcome to get where you are now. And I often think about commenting, but I rarely do. For what it may, or may not, be worth, I am proud of your accomplishments. I am proud you've overcome the hurdles. I may not personally know you, but I still wish you the best in everything. I look forward to this video and the next!
The level and variety of skills that you have to put together a video like this just blows my mind every time you do it. From your camera artistry, to editing skills, to being seriously funny... you do it all while NOT DYING in freaking Nunavut! Thanks for sharing with us... you guys really are the best. ❤
That drone shot at dusk where the camera pulls away from your tent was epic... glad your drone didn't blow away in that wind! I also liked the bit where you 'interrupt' the editing to give a shout-out to Maxim... very creative!
1st - Your videos help me to sleep at night man. I don't think I've missed a single video since you started the YT channel. My fav part of your video is your mmmmmmmmm sound once you bite into your food - keep them up and glad you are still making new content!
Toyota should give Max a Tacoma as well. He did most of the driving. Xander was just goofing off licking the window for most of the trip. Faithful supporter since 6k subscribers, from the Great Country of Texas.
Xander, big fan here, it's been amazing to watch you and all that you've achieved, I myself have been through a lot in the past year and hope that I can to bring joy back to my life. Keep up the positivity.
The way some are whining about the "ad" aspect of this video, I thought it was going to be non-stop sponsor talk... It's actually really well done with some nice Xander humour seasoning thrown in. Well done and congrats!! Sorry you didn't get to keep the Tacoma though. Definitely has me considering it for when my current Toyota needs replacing... I'm sure it'll die eventually. 😉
So cool you’re getting some sponsor love and making this trip. You’ve earned it and it’s very smart on Toyota considering how many of us tune in every video. Congrats, sir!
This is your best produced video yet, from location to editing and all facets in between. Like... almost Nature Channel level! Congrats on the Toyota sponsorship (perfect fit, you're like the Tacoma in human form). Please more cold camping videos! The drone footage really gave such a perspective of your isolation in that absolutely beautiful but utterly desolate place. I was waiting for the drone to be taken by high wind!
Chopin and Master and Commander soundtrack on this one, nice. Oh, and no taking a Tacoma truck 30 feet underwater, check! "I love you, truck" at the end, just hilarious.
Nice! Drove the james bay back in November, made it to aire de repos west of Chisasibi but the lake wasnt frozen over & a big storm. Guess a part 2 will be in order? A wolf ran out in front of my truck and ended up in a snowbank at at 10pm - it can be a dangerous road
Hey Xander, I randomly stumbled onto one of your videos a few weeks ago and low and behold, the Xander and Max I lived across the street from growing up! Great content buddy, looking forward to watching more of your videos. All the best!
Don't know if Toyota thought this through lol. The majority of us who are watching Xander for comfort/sleep aid/escape from our own realities can't afford this $60k+ truck😅
Damn that was awesome! Loved every moment of that vid from the choice in music, the drone footage, the silhouette of you guys walking in the alien looking arctic landscape, the humor that cracked me up! Loved the badass truck too! Nice to know Max played such a big part in putting your trips together, he’s a genius just like you said. I see a full a length movie of you guys in your future.
Your sense of humor and the beauty of the place made me smile throughout the video! So glad i came across your channel two days ago and by now i watched a dozen of your videos. Good luck to you guys in the following trips and I can’t wait to watch them!
Sometimes you hate to see TH-camrs selling out, but in this case I couldn't be prouder. So awesome to see a major sponsor like Toyota on Xander's channel
What a place to set up a tent! We enjoyed your adventure! Along with making us laugh, the classical pieces really complimented the beautiful and rugged terrain! Thank you!!
Bro, I've been watching you for over 2 years now I think. I'm in Ontario as well. It's been so nice watching your videos and watching you expand and grow. You're awesome bro! Thank you for the videos and for showcasing our beautiful country to the rest of the world
Omg what a coincidence - I'm just learning about indigenous people of Nunavut at my uni! What a pleasant way to absorb information about this land! Thank you Xander!
We spent 10 years in Alaska with the military. Society complains about furs and cruelty to animals but in the arctic, furs are WARM! The skin on the outside cuts the wind while the fur on the inside just keeps you warm. I know you guys are filming for YT so must do things in a certain way, but in the Arctic, pulling your parka hood around your face warms up the air so you can breathe. Enough said. GREAT camp! So glad the Toyota was equipped to handle those temps. Looking forward to your next adventure.
"I think its the suspension" Really took me outta the video. There are ways to do sponsorships. ALL GOOD but force feeding me? Nah. ESPECIALLY since you don't even know if the product is good yet. As you said. Its an all new truck setup. BYE
GREAT Toyota commercial!! I would think that if I were in your shoes I would have done slightly better at promoting Toyota. That said, it was only a matter of time I guess... goodbye.
For you guys complaining about ads: Do you think it cost nothing to do what Xander does? Do you think he has a money tree in his back yard? This is his job. It's how he earns a living, and sponsorship is how he pays his bills and feeds himself. Do you work for free? Of course not. And neither does he. Yeah the ads are a pain in the butt, but it's a small inconvenience to enjoy Xanders adventures and hard work. So rather than complain, get yourself a coke and smile and enjoy :)
born and raised in Brampton and still living here. The past month of finding out about your youtube channel, has really made me think different and want to do better for myself. Im only 22 but ive been addicted to alcohol since i was 18. did pills and a bunch of drugs that caused me to have a seizure and internal brain bleed. was in the hospital for 8 days. long story short, you have helped me see the good in life and make a change. My parents are from Newfondland so i enjoy the outdoors a lot. Thank you tho for these amazing travel videos and the free therapy sessions through your words in these videos. Much love brother and keep doing what you do
Oh hell yeah a Nunavut trip? That's awesome. Also a Toyota sponsorship?!? Xander making big moves you love to see it
Wondering if I should look into a similar trip with this truck haha. Great footage and love the story told!
great, excellent, wonderfull
he deservers
Xander you are the baddest man on the planet! In 3 days I will be 8 years sober. Watching you, having listened to you open up about your struggles, strengthens my resolve. Tons of respect and gratitude for you brother. Keep it rollin’!

Xander Budnick, 4'11" 😂🤣😂
That is one of the funniest things I've seen a long time. You, sir, are a legend 🙌
4'10 3/4" but I just rounded up
@@XanderBudnick thank you for coming clean on that bro 😂😂
He is not that small now way
4'11" on a good day? @@XanderBudnick
I always thought@@XanderBudnick was 4'5" :(
Whoa someone got a new truck...and sponsor! Great use of the Master and Commander score!
Wish I got to keep it. Man I loved that truck
Odd thing. As I'm watching this, in UK, on film 4, is the film master n commander!
Looked like you were camping on Dr. Mann’s planet. Very cool of Toyota to sponsor you. Smart marketing dept.
@@cyclecentreruncorn2510 And what a film it is!
Its a taco though. He needs a tundra. Tacos are for people who can't commit.
Xander. You're really becoming a king at editing. It was so freaking good and enjoyable and funny too man. Really keep it up. Might be one of your best videos. Love the music too

This is probably one of the most epic camping I've ever watched!
The Arctic shots of you two walking is so surreal. Well done Sir
12:18 yeah man that shit is incredible.

Nocturne as the background music, that's great.

Same thing , last thing before going to bed is watching one of his videos , they help me a lot to sleep!😊
Same! I watch his videos (even the ones I have already) to be at peace at night and then I dream away about camping with Xander.
Same!!
Same
There is something calming and comforting laying in bed and watching these kind of videos! Makes it easier to float away to sleep!
all your success is warranted. the best damn channel on youtube. shout out max. yall are the goats.
Thank you :)
Well it's official. You two are nuts 😂😂 I love it!! Can't wait for the next adventure.
Toyota should give Max a Tacoma as well. He did most of the driving. Xander was just goofing off licking the window for most of the trip.
Faithful supporter since 6k subscribers, from the Great Country of Texas.
Xander is the absolute best. He is a young man who kids should be looking up to. Very proud of him. And WOW, look at that cool truck!!
the music fits so well, love from Ireland.
Polar Bear Watch "First shift is always 10 hours" BBWWHHhahahaahaha :D
Max always takes first shift
Good thing your brother is such a trooper 😂 freaking awesome video guys!!
@@XanderBudnicklol what do you actually do for polar bear protection at night, if anything?
I love the "Master & Commander" ending song... at the beginning of this video... and near the end. Nice touch, guys !!!
I can see, in my minds eye, Xander on the moon, full spacesuit, cracking kindling. Just to say he's cracked kindling in yet another crazy place. 🤣❤
This Blue Diamond is at the top of the many incredible gems that Xander and Max have produced and shared with us over the years. Thank you.
WOW what an adventure! The sound of the wind even made me shiver. That must have been brutally cold!
Really put the ad in adventure on this one.
You’re a good one, Xander. Thanks for sharing your joy with us and respecting the places you visit.
What an absolute gem. So cool you lads got to do this trip together. Loved the music choice👏
Thanks mate :)
I love the winter camping videos so much
Xander, big fan here, it's been amazing to watch you and all that you've achieved, I myself have been through a lot in the past year and hope that I can to bring joy back to my life. Keep up the positivity.
Awesome. I was up there in the early 2000's . What a secluded winter wonderland!
Awesome trip, awesome dude, awesome sponsor… well done Toyota
Omg what an amazing adventure. Love watching both you guys together and on your own. That truck what bad ass.
Best. Toyota. Commercial. EVER! Well done.
Man, you know you've made it when Toyota is sponsoring you.
Love seeing the brother relationship! It's easy to tell you two are real friends 😊
Unreal and hilarious, great stuff guys!
Thanks mate
Great humor and editing in this video. Well done.
New Xander video!!! I can't wait to get off of work and watch it!!
Love that Opening song, takes me back to Master and Commander
I appreciate the classical piano music, definitely calming escape to watch your video from everyday life!
The way some are whining about the "ad" aspect of this video, I thought it was going to be non-stop sponsor talk... It's actually really well done with some nice Xander humour seasoning thrown in. Well done and congrats!! Sorry you didn't get to keep the Tacoma though. Definitely has me considering it for when my current Toyota needs replacing... I'm sure it'll die eventually. 😉
Hello guys
Bros Budnick you are certainly my famous adventurers des temps modernes...Thanks sharing this new video. I love you guys.
So cool you’re getting some sponsor love and making this trip. You’ve earned it and it’s very smart on Toyota considering how many of us tune in every video. Congrats, sir!
Opening on Master and Commander soundtrack, it can only be an epic video
Wow frosty, beautiful country you two! Xander in a 2024 truck holy polar bear, imagine that ;-) 💜 B
Absolutely beautiful video! (Funny too!)
That transition at the 18th minute to you talking about Max’s channel was pretty cool. Felt like that scene from The Shinning
One of the greatest piece of music written. And a good video with it.
Huge fan! Beginning of your video you drove right through my hometown of Temiscaming QC! Love it! Keep doing what your doing
the best toyota ad EVER !
This is freaking awesome! I hope to see more of these type videos!
I thoroughly approve of the use of Bach’s cello suite playing in the background ( starting in the two minute area).
Gosh this video is so beautiful 🥺

You guys always take us on such amazing adventures, your sense of humor really cracks me up, beautiful scenery, stay safe.
Chopin and Master and Commander soundtrack on this one, nice. Oh, and no taking a Tacoma truck 30 feet underwater, check! "I love you, truck" at the end, just hilarious.
Thank you for this awesome video 📸 loved every bit if it.
Good on Toyota for sponsoring you. Love their products and nice to see their supporting content creators like you!
Ok seriously cracked me up. Great brother beat down...lol
Nunavut! Very nice. Great job swinging a deal with Toyota too. Excellent adventure.
That was just absolutely brilliant, Thankyou 😊
That's amazing!! I hope you get a chance to go further in at some point. It's nice to see a little more of our north ❤
Great job guys!
wish I could watch it again and not remember the first time lol. Gooood stuff Xander keep it up!
Nice! Drove the james bay back in November, made it to aire de repos west of Chisasibi but the lake wasnt frozen over & a big storm. Guess a part 2 will be in order?
A wolf ran out in front of my truck and ended up in a snowbank at at 10pm - it can be a dangerous road
My boy got that Toyota Sponsorship! Well deserved Xander! Much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
Hey Xander, I randomly stumbled onto one of your videos a few weeks ago and low and behold, the Xander and Max I lived across the street from growing up! Great content buddy, looking forward to watching more of your videos. All the best!
Haha right on man. Hope you're doing well :)
Seems like a truck advertisement.
Don't know if Toyota thought this through lol. The majority of us who are watching Xander for comfort/sleep aid/escape from our own realities can't afford this $60k+ truck😅
It’s fine by me. As crazy as TH-cam is, gotta make money while you can.
Tacoma and 4 Runner don’t need advertising.. their performance speaks for itself
Damn that was awesome! Loved every moment of that vid from the choice in music, the drone footage, the silhouette of you guys walking in the alien looking arctic landscape, the humor that cracked me up! Loved the badass truck too! Nice to know Max played such a big part in putting your trips together, he’s a genius just like you said. I see a full a length movie of you guys in your future.
What a view !! 🙌🏻😍

The title of the video should’ve been “Toyota review with a bit of camping “
Bro, I've been watching you for over 2 years now I think. I'm in Ontario as well. It's been so nice watching your videos and watching you expand and grow. You're awesome bro! Thank you for the videos and for showcasing our beautiful country to the rest of the world
Omg what a coincidence - I'm just learning about indigenous people of Nunavut at my uni! What a pleasant way to absorb information about this land! Thank you Xander!
Your kinda videos and a spice of that humor is just perfection. Finally a video! Thank you!
Toyota Tacoma can be all yours for the low cost of $60,000 + 😂
An all-timer. Thank you Xander and Max for putting your lives on the line for this supreme content!
Is this a Toyota commercial? lol
Yup lol
😂
That’s why he says it is at the beginning. So yes.
He getting that Toyota bag. I ain’t gon trip about it being a commercial. Get that bag homie 💰💰💰💰
Dumbass question from a dumbass dude

3:22 can some tell me what song this is?
“Nocturne in e flat” by Chopin
@@toadums thank you
What a wholesome trip with your brother! Love what you do!
"I think its the suspension" Really took me outta the video. There are ways to do sponsorships. ALL GOOD but force feeding me? Nah. ESPECIALLY since you don't even know if the product is good yet. As you said. Its an all new truck setup. BYE
What an insane adventure! thank you for taking us there, props to having a sponsor as big as Toyota too.
GREAT Toyota commercial!! I would think that if I were in your shoes I would have done slightly better at promoting Toyota. That said, it was only a matter of time I guess... goodbye.
So you’re mad that a creator is doing something to make money so they can keep producing content for you to consume for free… okay. Bye 😂
Bruh on god y’all the most fragile people on this planet 😂😂😂
Cool your down with the natives! Their culture center was really cool thx for sharing!
Hey….LOVED the video!! Probably loved the trip as much or more than you….my nose stayed warm !! Subscribed to max !
I'm a huge fan of yours❤❤keep Up!! You're just on a bigger level🎉🎉
Boys, this trip is totally over the top!!! I can't express how exciting it was to watch! AMAZING.
❤ Thanks, guys.
Good choice of music and amazing panoramic views, one of the best episode!
One of your best TH-cam’s.
Hope you get a full sponsor from Toyota you deserve it ❤
Super Awesome Trip !!! Love The North, Cant Wait Till The Next Adventure
Xander and Max - Just when I thought you had reached the top of videography and adventure, you went even higher. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you

Amazed by the videography ❤
Sweet adventure !!! Incredible memories for you and your bro
born and raised in Brampton and still living here. The past month of finding out about your youtube channel, has really made me think different and want to do better for myself. Im only 22 but ive been addicted to alcohol since i was 18. did pills and a bunch of drugs that caused me to have a seizure and internal brain bleed. was in the hospital for 8 days. long story short, you have helped me see the good in life and make a change. My parents are from Newfondland so i enjoy the outdoors a lot. Thank you tho for these amazing travel videos and the free therapy sessions through your words in these videos. Much love brother and keep doing what you do
From the meditation sponsor to Toyota, love seeing this community grow its truly a positive place with such great videos
