I really enjoy the formula of your videos - hike in, set up camp, cook something, go to bed, repeat the next day if multi day. So simple and enjoyable to watch.
I’ve been a TH-cam creator for about five years and been watching TH-cam for many years but hand on heart these videos a simply the most satisfying and an absolute pleasure to watch Sir we salute you love from the uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love watching this guy lol love how he puts the camera down an then walks towards it like he didn't put it there lol.. the way these vids are put together are really enjoyable to watch.. this is what I call content
@@XanderBudnick i guess it's more about allowing "us", your adoring fans (lol), the opportunity to support your efforts - the drone work, the editing, the high qualify footage etc 😎
After I watched ur videos, I do not opt to watch any other similar videos from other youtubers. Ur style is unique. Keep posting often. Love from India
that's very great that you show a lot and don't edit the videos, and that you don't do any music in the background, just perfect. it's very fun 👍💪✌👌 Keep creating ❤💪
You eat broc and journal like a champ! 😆 Sweet drone shot of the beaver and lodge. I've heard people say that's "harassing" wildlife, but I find that ridiculous. Of all the difficulties and perils wild animals face, a buzzing bird above them for a minute is nothing.
Yah I didn't really think about it at the time but it could be disruptive for the animals. He kind came into my shot when I was filming the water and I got caught up in filming him. I think he came by my camp later they evening and started smacking his tail at me :p
Hello Budnick ! Another thing I love in your videos is when you wake up in the morning hidden in your sleeping bag. I would like to try the same adventure in your beautiful country. Have a good day and take care dear Budnick✌️😉
Great setup I love the high tie out. I just got back from exploring some pine meadows just like that in Alberta's sand belt today. Here, they're basically sand dunes left behind by the North Saskatchewan and Athabasca Rivers. At the peak of each dune, the soil is so thin that trees can't grow, so the meadows are formed. In between them wetlands form. It's a really cool ecosystem, I saw all kinds of scat including what I think was wolf scat full of deer hair. Crazy diversity of plants in there as well. Looking forward to checking out more of these videos!
Couple of years ago I used to go camping with my dad I used to have so much fun but one day he just left to never be seen again and I always had that camping void that needed to be fixed your videos help man I can't go camping because of my life situation but your videos keep me sane till I finally one day can camo again keep it up please and your awesome
Hey Brother, sorry to hear that! keep strong my man! You'll camp again! My dad didn't teach me shit about camping! I learned it all on my own so you're golden my friend!
Haha I’m a 25 year old girl from Romania, and I found your channel 2 days ago. Been hooked. Wow, great videos! Told my brother about your videos. He’s showed his buddies too. Great Content. Subscribed!
Holy fornicating frogs, Xander! Reminds me of when I lived in Fla., and in a rainstorm, you COULD NOT get home without making frog pate on the road! (Always put me in the mood for frogs legs.....)
Just from personal experience, I have found the best way to carry cooking oils in my pack is to use those little metal drink flasks. The kind the groom gives to his groomsmen and they abuse at the wedding. Holds from 4 ounces to 21 ounces usually, and they never leak and can take some abuse.
Subscribed. Thanks for the content. I appreciate all of the different angle views, it must take time but allows me to see it from nature’s POV. Keep up the great work.
I always enjoy watching your video. It's not only stress relieving, you videos shows me what the other part of the world that we impossibly reach. I'm a fan!
Those branches MAY have been stripped by a deer in rut... but I believe that bucks in rut TYPICALLY strip the bark off of small saplings... and about at chest high and lower. Another thing is that deer in rut are completely out of their minds... so I wouldn't put it past them to be passing thru, get hungup a bit (like we all do with our packs on) and then in a little fit of fury tear at the tree limbs. You basically don't want to be around bucks in rut.. they get crazy. Great video.
I see your up to your usual standards with this video. Totally awesome! Just the right amount of seriousness blended with humor! The huge stalk of raw Broccoli and a dirty cutting board that seen its better day 🙂 and the dear diary definitely made me laugh. Thanks as always for the video! Rick From Virginia
Hey Rick! I think the last video might have suffered a bit because the trip was much more demanding and more difficult to film. Glad you enjoyed this one my friend! Happy you got a laugh out of it! Have a great day!
Only the brave cook chicken in the woods! Well done brother, I loved the rope tutorial at the end too, little practical tidbits are always dope to know.
I watch these every night to help me fall asleep. These videos are 10/10! One suggestion - the chopping board needs a good scrub :’) lol. Keep up the amazing work Xander!
Sweet potatoes on the fire is an old way of cooking in South Africa. We just throw it on the hot coals without any foil. Now I use foil here in Canada.
A huge thanks for putting out the effort in going to such mesmerizing places and making such awesome camping videos..... u ignite the fire of already existing inspirations to explore nature in me ;)
Just noticed your onion cutting skills. Pretty nice the way you keep your fingers away from the knife 🔪. At least you have some kitchen skills. I was traumatised by others using knives Tu cut up food in the wild. Lots of Love from Hungary!
@@XanderBudnick just realized you are the same guy that I watched a year ago or so in the Homemade hot tent -25c video. Haha, I loved how simple of a setup that was. You have come a long way in a short time. Congrats!
Another great vlog and thanks for sharing your amazing outdoor adventures ! Your vlogs are getting better by time and u added the gear you've used which is great. Thanks and enjoy the outdoors ! 👍🔥☕🌲💪
Your vid is great as usual , funny and informative at the same time , and your not afraid to get out of your comfort zone to camp in the middle of a swamp . I can tell you it would be my last choice during mosquitoe season 😨 . Hope you still can ear after that noisy night , always wonder how many decibels they can produced those 🐸 . I had a good laugh watching you eat that brocoli , lol . And thanks for leaving no trace , your setting a good example 🙏 See you in the next Xander
Thanks again! honestly, it was just the flattest and most open place to camp :p Aye, I'm definitely not looking forward to the bugs, they're just a few days/ weeks away too :( I was shocked at how loud it got. it was actually kinda tough to sleep. I woke up a bit shell shocked lol
Just found your channel this week and it’s been amazing. Could you by chance make a video explaining all of your knots and ties you use? ( except maybe the wrappy around sticky… I think I got that one in my bag already haha)
@@XanderBudnick wow thank you so much for the quick reply! That is amazing I will be sure to watch it! Again thank you very much and best or luck on future videos!!
I like how some people make their biggest financial purchase of their lives based on the usability of a kitchen and this dude is out in a bog with 1 tiny cutting board, a knife, a pan, and some ziploc baggies having a more relaxing meal then 99% of people in first world countries.
Your content provides me with unmatched escapism, don't stop creating
Happy to hear that my friend!
You should also watch Foresty Forest! Amazing !
@@XanderBudnick Any bigfoot or cryptid encounters??
Agreed, please don’t stop creating content.
"Wrappy around stick" is by far the best knot.
that broccoli got me off guard..! 😄
lol :D

Yah me too bro i sleep better than before seriously
So wonderful to see you spending time with your family. So much joy and the places are so beautiful..thank you sharing..
I think this is by far the best meal you've cooked while camping
Thanks I really enjoyed that one!
Xander, if you ever decide to create a Patreon then im 100% in.
Xander Vs the elements with Xander humour - these videos are so therapeutic 👍

Same here!
Cheer brother! Havent really thought about it much - never thought people set up Patreons for Adventure Content :p
@@XanderBudnick i guess it's more about allowing "us", your adoring fans (lol), the opportunity to support your efforts - the drone work, the editing, the high qualify footage etc 😎

when you think about bog: dreary, stinky, sad place
what bog actually is: *frog party never stops yeah*
Love that!!! haha
“…do they ever like to party, hard AF…” lmao nice
Lol
Hello Budnick ! Another thing I love in your videos is when you wake up in the morning hidden in your sleeping bag. I would like to try the same adventure in your beautiful country. Have a good day and take care dear Budnick✌️😉
in this chaotic world, your videos gave me chills. thank you and respect from turkey
Amazing thanks for sharing ☺️
"wrappy around stick" Ah yes, my favorite knot!
Coming back to some older videos after getting hooked a couple months ago!
Something so peaceful about watching this anyone else feel that way
Excellent film! Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us! ❤
Your dedication to show each path you take in spite of having to go back and forth reminds me of Li Ziqi.
This videos give me so much peace. Keep going Xander! to far beyond!
Thank Leonardo!!! Cheers friend!
Kinda therapeutic, these videos.... keep at it, buddy
Thanks, will do!
I binge-watched so many of your videos, that at midnight I had a nightmare that I was stuck in the woods-
Enjoyed the trip.
Like the time, not to long and to the point. Enjoyed the tarp setup.
Excellent aerial video!
Will be looking forward to more.
ahhh yes the wrappy around stick knot, my personal favourite.

What a madlad
Man I’m really digging the shelter. I really like it. Those dang frogs!
Lived abroad for many years, Really enjoy watching your videos and really appreciating what we have here in Ontario. All the best and safe travels

Please keep up the EXCELLENT WORK! :D
I love how he adds comedy at the appropriate spots and does not make his videos comedic videos.

Gosh..that air view of where your Camping, shocked your right in the middle of all that water.. great watching this. THANK YOU
I needed to wind down to go to sleep for finals tomorrow and this video was perfect! Thanks brother :)
Holy fornicating frogs, Xander! Reminds me of when I lived in Fla., and in a rainstorm, you COULD NOT get home without making frog pate on the road!
(Always put me in the mood for frogs legs.....)
The deer do make rubs during the rut to help attract does. It leaves their scent on the limbs. Great video as always
🏕 It's the peacefulness of camping & that comforting fire.
Definitely
Spring peepers do be loud. A lovely chorus of an evening!
Just from personal experience, I have found the best way to carry cooking oils in my pack is to use those little metal drink flasks. The kind the groom gives to his groomsmen and they abuse at the wedding. Holds from 4 ounces to 21 ounces usually, and they never leak and can take some abuse.
Thank you so much for the recommendation Ben ❤
Again, another perfect adventure. And wow, that's how I like to eat broccoli, right from the garden!
this is the perfect format for 20 min style videos, feels like 10 every time. good stuff
Just started watching! So peaceful and relaxing. I was not into camping until watching your videos! Thanks!
I literally cannot stop watching ur vids plus im even more pumped for my hiking trip in Sweden
Anyone else keep a Diary? *cough* .... I mean Journal?
Me , when i was highschool until now ,even if im 29 now,
I did the PCT without a journal and regret every second!
You mean a Captains log?

I don't know why but hearing at the beginning of the vid that you're also in Ontario just makes these vids so much more enjoyable for me
Close to home :)
Superb video, Xander! You wolfed that broccoli like a boss! 🙂🥦 🌟
TY Ty - lol someones got to do it :p
The only nature videos I look forward to watching! Your another breed! Keep smiling! We love you

Aye! good to know! I was super curious because that opening had close to 30 piles of droppings and those broken tree branches! thank for the insight.
I really feel like I’m there while watching your videos, keep up the good work, great content
Right on man glad you were into it!
Am I the only one who watch it just to get sleepy? His videos have unintentional ASMR effect.

Yo I love how you're just chillin...literally. Love the stuff bro!
That wrappy around stick is my most used knot for sure.
It's highly effective
Thanks for what you do. It helps me dream with more detail. This looks like life. 🇺🇸✝️😁👍🏻

That was amazing, and you are teaching me a lot, my friend God bless you always and your family
Alone time, nice job man
One of the greatest channel I discovered.
I went solo camping on some crown land a couple weeks ago. The frogs were just as loud. I feel ya🤣🐸
RIght on! sounds like you're a real badass then :D friggin frogos chirping all night eh
OMG all that Broccoli Xander...lol..and yes...veggies are good for you!!!!
Absolutely love watching all ur camping videos...u inspired me to live life to the fullest
😍😍😍... nice camping site.. nice weather too
Aye it worked out :D
Quick tip. Put the broccoli over the fire with a bit of oil and seasoning ideally garlic powder and it’s damned good. A few minutes should do.
Have a pond behind my house, out in the country. Camp out quite a bit, but sometimes them damn frogs....Great video!
Sounds nice. But them dudes are loud z I always forget

So true.
The "wrappy around stick" is the hardest knot to tie!
This knot gets a color ..blue on the color wheel!
watching your video makes me challenge wild camping
This reminds me of a wes Anderson style movie. Great work
Right on man that makes me smile :)
My favorite knot: Throwy Stick
Your meals are the best!!!!
