Congrats on two years being free! This Sunday my wife and I are going into a prison to provide a church service for the women who are in primarily for drug addictions. I am going to play your video from 17:17 to the fire before I share my Sermon. Your comments will be encouraging and providing an example of success! Keep pressing on and don’t give in, or give up, or bow down to those things that lead to bondage! Proud of you! “The thief (Devil) comes ONLY to kill, steal, and destroy, I (Jesus) have come that they (You and I) may have life, and life to the full.”-John 10:10.
Dude seeing you have fun with your brother like this AND knowing it's your 2-year mark of being clean is so wholesome. Keep it up Xander, you're inspiring so much out of us.
Congratulations on your sobriety brother!!!! I am 27 days clean today. No alcohol, no drugs. I am so happy to finally have mental clarity again!!! Thank you for your videos and your inspiration!!! 👊👍
I'm extremely happy for you, keep it up, I have 1 year clean and it's been the best year of my life, i really love what you do, and you make me feel that i can do alot more. Keep it all Xander. Only the best for you.
2 years dude. Well done man. Massive congrats. Mentioned this early on when you first mentioned your struggles but I haven't touched anything in 23 years. Stopped at 19 and every year that went past it got better and better. Im at the point now where I dont even remember the bad part of my life. If I can do it then you reading this can too. Reach out to friends and family and take that first step. Dont suffer alone. Stay strong. One day at a time.
I am currently in that bad days that cant get view and subs :( But I will keep going and improve everything :) Very much appreciate if i see our feedback and comments in my videos
I’ve been watching your videos for around a year now and your videos have helped open my eyes to the natural beauty I’m missing out on. Especially living in London, if only Ontario was a drive away. As soon as is possible for me I’m going to go camping and bit by bit push myself to hopefully be as good as you. After watching for a year I would never have guessed that you struggled with alcohol and or drugs, which is brilliant when you think about it. Congratulations on two years sober, you’re In inspiration. Thank you for your amazing content.
I’m new to this channel. What is it you are referring to? (You can disregard that ... the explanation was at the end. Well done, Xander ... I’ve been through the same. You’re quite right: you can’t do it by yourself. Happy for you. Great video. I’m subscribed).
That trip to rehab was the best gift you could’ve given yourself, and it’s ultimately a gift to us as well, because we now get to enjoy you and your videos. Thank you and God bless you!
You touched my heart Xander. So very happy for you - congratulations. And, look what you have created for yourself as a result - such a great community of friends and viewers that support you and look forward to your beautiful adventure videos. Your thoughtfulness and encouragement in sharing this with others goes beyond words. Bless you
Congratulations on your 2 years of sobriety this grandma is real proud of you and the life that you've built and what you share that touches the rest of us is really wonderful. God-bless you Xander,, You got great times ahead.
I hope ones you hit million you don't stop reading comments. Specially us who have been with you from beginning... Great clip and inspiring at the end. I don't struggle with addiction but having no inspiration for anything and just giving up. Your clips help to overcome the darkness one step at a time.
Xander, you're an inspiration in more ways than one. Since the first time I've heard you open up about your history with drugs and alcohol, you have been at the forefront of my thoughts of people who have not only successfully rid themselves of their addiction problems, but also managed to turn their lives around afterwards. In my eyes, your youtube career is, at least in one sense, both a reflection and a documentation of that growth as a human being. I have personally decided to follow down this path towards a life free of addiction as well - today marks a humble but resolute closing of my first 3 weeks sober. Here's to many more weeks to come, both for myself, for you, and to everyone else out there struggling with these issues.
That’s awesome! Congratulations! Thank you for sharing and being open. Thank you for letting me come along with your trips and adventures. Great video.
Huge Congratulations on 2 years of sobriety Xander! Your body and mind are benefitting 1000x more from Mother Nature and her wonders than society’s temptations. Thank you for sharing your story and sharing your trips so that we can all benefit from a bit of nature’s beauty in our day to day lives ❤
Proud of your ability to be open, you can change someones life with just honest conversation. Congrats on two years, and good luck on continued success!!!
Congratulations brother, I'm 6 years sober from my addiction this coming March 23 and God/The outdoors, good friends and my wife were instrumental in my recovery. I am very happy for you!
Loved the smile you gave the camera at the start of the video. Great trip! Glad your brother came with you. Congratulations on your two years. 🎉 Continue staying safe.
Xander, congrats on being two years sober! Huge steps in bettering your life and what a great way to mark the occasion by being out in the wild with your, Brother...family! It means so much that you share your sobriety and can lend a voice to those who are going through difficult times with substance abuse, being an example that there is a path to recovery! Stay well and stay safe to you and your entire family!
Xander, congratulations on 2 years - what an accomplishment! Loving your videos and loving seeing these places as part of your journey. Can't wait for more 🤙🏻
Congratulations on 2 years now! Good job! As you were talking about it, I was reminded of the healthy fear of falling off the wagon. 25 years sobriety and still have it. Life waaay better without all that crap.
Congratulations on two years clean and sober!! Your videos are always so well done, lots of humour, lots of humility and lots of great adventures. Thanks for sharing your stories and your camping trips with us, hope we get many many more!
Hey Xander! I just wanted to let you know that your videos have inspired me to start to go camping again. I am an Eagle Scout and camped all of my childhood but when I came to school I lost touch with that part of my life, and just seeing how beautiful your videos are has inspired me to get back into it. Keep up the awesome stuff my man!
You are the Best! That opening scene was epic with you looking at the camera during the forecast on TV. One couldn’t be more proud of a sharp, genuine Young Man such as yourself to accomplish what you have with your sobriety!!! Your attitude, determination, gritt has shown you that you are just perfect as you can be, now. You are an exemplary model for others to follow. Thanks for all you do for us with your videos.
Nature is the best medicine! You are a true role model for people who may be struggling with sobriety. I have also found that the further that I remove myself from the temptation the less I desire it and instead it does not even appeal to me or the way I want to enjoy and experience a strong and healthy life. Hail!!!
I'm a big fan of the fact you bring friends and family along with you. I'm growing rather hateful of the no talking ASMR style camping videos and your videos never fail to entertain Xander! I wanted to add, congratulations on the 2 years!
My thoughts exactly. The no talking ASMR style videos are ubiquitous now and boring mostly . Xander’s stuff is different because of the humour and personality he puts in and I hope he grows in that direction !
Well done for staying clean for so long now. I struggled for 4 years with Codeine addiction after taking it for back pain and after 4 years I'd had enough and finally decided to get help. Best thing I ever did
Congratulations on the 2 years 👍 keep pushing yourself and inspiring others while sharing your view of the world! You should come to Australia and try camping our way 🐍🕷️🐊
Congrats on 2 years man. You’re an inspiration for all of us watching your videos. It awesome for all of us to watch u living your dream doing what you love and what makes u happy.
2 years of struggle, restraint, and achievement, congratulations. Amazing what we do to ourselves for .... fun? I am happy for you. As always, enjoyed the video and you sharing your time in the outdoors. Continued success in life.
Proud to hear - gives me some hope. I'm fighting my own battles with substances but the biggest battle is the fight to be happy. Keep doing what makes you happy! I hope I wont be far behind.
Iam so proud for you Zander and all you have accomplished which has come out of your sobriety. It’s no accident the your sub number started climbing at about the same time you made the decisions that got you clean. Well done Zander!
the moment you mentioned that you were clean and sober for 2 years my heart immediately reverberated the feeling of excitement and joy. I wish I could have subscribed earlier! watching you and your brother made me think of the times I spent with my brother before he unfortunately lost his life to drugs. Thank you for spreading the love! and the insipiration to keep on my friend...
I'm struggling so much with drugs and alcohol again, partly to do with depression from a very young age, but having to be a Key Worker cleaning the streets of London I fell back into using, but my alcohol intake became much more extreme, so I've now got to dig really deep inside my good self and the good positive side of my personality because basically it's becoming a Do Or Die situation, and I don't want to die just yet, I still feel I want more from life and watching your channel and knowing that you know what that struggle is like, going out into the wilderness and surviving that seems so much easier and so much more fun that the torrid depths of addiction, thanks for your words and actions Xander I've now got a little more hope in my heart ♥
Just surpassed 3 yrs myself ma man CONGRATS TO YOU KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!! I feel amazing without and to those that are struggling you can beat it!!!!!!!!! LOVE LIFE
Congratulations so very proud of you!! May God continue to strengthen and keep you in good health physically, mentally, emotionally and especially spiritually!!❤❤ ❤
Bro I've been watching you now for 2 yrs and had no idea you were in recovery. I love u so much more now. Proud of u bro, thank u for being a great example. Keep going
Good on you Xander ...amazing inspiration for all ..and mostly yourself ...what a story ...looking forward to all the other chapters you are planning ...big hug and congratulations sir 👍🙏 xx
2 years is incredible, YOU can be proud of yourself. Even with the help of family and good friends, it is still YOU who has persevered and stayed clean. A mental battle that YOU have won. Deserves all the support and love.
Well done bro! I am 42 years sober and not using, havent done it all my life, and im proud of it, glad to see more ppl joining my "club". You are most welcome.
Hey buddy, congratulations on your second year of sobriety! I'll be nine years sober on January 5th, and I want to tell you, I have great respect for the choice you've made. Nature over alcohol. Yes. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Always a treat.
I don't even know you Xander but I am so happy for you. Hopefully, everything is better... the taste of food, the air, relationships with family and friends, and just life in general. I'd bear hug the stuffing out of you if I could. Keep the faith brother! You got this..one day at a time.
Well done on the sobriety - I have the good fortune of being longer sober than not. The years fly by, and I'm so grateful to all those who helped me along the way. My only advice is to stay humble. I'm too old to go into the wilderness now, but thanks for taking me along through your videos. ❤
thank you for your honesty; I am struggeling and at this saturday evening I got a little bit depressive cause I thought without a sip of beer life is just boring. But then I watched your video. I feel motivated.
"What ever it takes" says it all for so many battles in life..Thank you for having the courage to say and own it and pass on something that positive..CONGRATULATIONS 100% Respect!!
Ahh, the absolute magic, peace and tranquility of being in a snowfall. So much better than any else IMO. This for another wonderful video- I watch them all!
Proud of you brotha. Sobriety is incredibly difficult. Such an amazing feeling to finally be free of that addiction. Leading a clean healthy life, enjoying the pure beauty of what nature has to offer
Wow! What a wonderful courageous person you are... You are far to special to even think about letting an addiction take away your positive energy..ya made me cry
I just don't watch winter camping! Until now. For the first time it looked like fun to me. Great work on turning your life around. No family goes untouched from the dangers of substance abuse. Lives are ruined by it. Your fine character shines through Xander, and it is evident in your brother too. So keep on making good content for us, and I will keep on watching and liking and dropping a word now and then.
Both of us started our sober journey at the same time, I remember watching a video of you at the one year mark in tears about your accomplishment. I couldn’t help but cry with you. Will always cherish that moment although I was on the other side of the screen.
Congrats Xander on your sobriety!!!! Iam one year sober and have a beautiful baby girl, and living the life I’ve been missing for so long! Love your video! Keeps me positive and excited to one day do what you do. Keep it coming!
Congratulations on the sobriety dude. Really amazing to hear. I love hearing you share about little snippets of it in your videos and encourage you to continue to share when it's appropriate and not hard to do so. Your story is important and helpful to many people living with addictions!
Congrats! on getting clean, Xander. It is quite the struggle. I got off "legal" drug Rx's 23 yrs ago. My lovely Dr's kept me "well behaved" for many years. I only have a fraction of understanding of your experience, but I do feel your struggle. Again CONGRATS!!!!
Great video, and especially the end, I hear you. It has been a difficult struggle at times. Thanks for the postive words about getting to the other side and being happily sober. I am very, very happy for you, and will take your advice.
Thank you Xander for your testimony, so many people need the encouragement especially coming from someone who has been there!! May God continue to bless you!!
What a great way to celebrate your 2 year mark! Fresh, falling snow always feels like a kind of cleansing...so appropriate for your wonderful accomplishment. Hats off and hugs to you. The coffee/cocoa bit had me busted up laughing.😁

@@camillsilvstre I’ve noticed Xander’s humor has rubbed off some on Jon (Lost Lakes) who is otherwise very serious
Wow on to two years now....I respect that so so much my friend. Well done and thanks for saying what you did for people who are struggling with it 💚
Yah crazy how time flies
That trip to rehab was the best gift you could’ve given yourself, and it’s ultimately a gift to us as well, because we now get to enjoy you and your videos. Thank you and God bless you!
Thanks for all the hard work, effort and dedication you put into every single one of your videos! Myself and all your views appreciate it.
Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing some of your story. Much respect.
yuppie
Yep!
Striping yourself back to nature is a wonderful cure for anxiety and depression. The free things in life are the best.
Perfect timing for my nighttime ritual
Same brother hahah...
amen brother
Me too
Cheers boys
haha amazing
As a fellow outdoorsman, and (clean) addict, I can't stress enough how much your content means to me. Keep doing what you love dude

Cool to hear your story of sobriety… I’m closing in on 5 years. Everything you said was true.. nail on the head. It gets easier and life gets better
Nature is the best medicine! You are a true role model for people who may be struggling with sobriety.

Congrats Xander on your sobriety!!!! Iam one year sober and have a beautiful baby girl, and living the life I’ve been missing for so long! Love your video! Keeps me positive and excited to one day do what you do. Keep it coming!
Congratulations on the sobriety dude. Really amazing to hear. I love hearing you share about little snippets of it in your videos and encourage you to continue to share when it's appropriate and not hard to do so. Your story is important and helpful to many people living with addictions!
Congrats! on getting clean, Xander. It is quite the struggle. I got off "legal" drug Rx's 23 yrs ago. My lovely Dr's kept me "well behaved" for many years. I only have a fraction of understanding of your experience, but I do feel your struggle. Again CONGRATS!!!!
congratulations on being sober. thats awesome. it's was 2 years for me on Dec. 28th 2022. loving life. I'm so happy for you.
Great video, and especially the end, I hear you. It has been a difficult struggle at times. Thanks for the postive words about getting to the other side and being happily sober. I am very, very happy for you, and will take your advice.
Thank you Xander for your testimony, so many people need the encouragement especially coming from someone who has been there!! May God continue to bless you!!
What a great way to celebrate your 2 year mark! Fresh, falling snow always feels like a kind of cleansing...so appropriate for your wonderful accomplishment. Hats off and hugs to you. The coffee/cocoa bit had me busted up laughing.😁
6:20 🤣 thanks, needed that ;)
Congrats for being two years sober and 👍 for encouraging others to give it a try.
The intro hit my heart.💓
