Solo Tarp Camping *Strange noises in the Night*

- This trip was a bit of an experiment for me camping in the early spring and just wanted to see what it would be like with just my tarp. I was pleasantly surprised with the conditions but also surprised by the lighting in the night and the strange noises while I slept.

Let's get this man some sponsors, he doesn't even run ads. Great channel.
That's be cool. I'm surprised tho because I do run ads :p
@@XanderBudnick dude probably has adblocker but forgot it xD
I usually don’t get adds. On your videos
@@jonahward8331 No ads are good ads.
@@XanderBudnick i do not have ad block and I usually don't get ads
Waking up to those noises in the middle of the night, would they have spooked you? What do you think they were?
Manbearpig? Sasquatch? Chupacabra?
Hope you guys enjoyed that one, Have an awesome day!
Coyote
A dog whistling
Vampire
@@evievionny6236 definetly
A wendigo, obviously. Read the Algernon Blackwood story. You may never go camping again :)
I have an ED and when it's hard for me to eat I watch these videos so we eat together. I know that's probably strange and totally not the point of the video but you help. Thank you.
thats totally normal i do it daily tbh while i eat veggies and ppl eat deliciousfood😂
He's definitely got me eating better that's for sure
@meltusnowflake911 Gey it’s hard for me to eat in general sometimes. My brain decides to cut off my hunger signal, but my body is audibly hungry. I can’t force myself to eat on my own or it makes me feel extremely sick. However, if someone eats with me and I’m not focused on the food but sharing an experience with that person it makes it easier to eat (especially if they’re eating as well because then I don’t feel isolated in eating). I hope that helped 😅
Erectile Dysfunction?
@@petef15 i was wondering the same....i guess you learn something new everyday
I’ve done quite a bit of backcountry camping in the last 10-12 years, sometimes solo, other times with two or three of us, but something that I can never seem to get used to is the night noises! There’s ALWAYS something it seems! In Horace Kephart’s iconic “Camping & Woodcraft” published first in 1917, and still in print today, he makes reference to the woods changing when the sun goes down and “the blue devils come out”! If you’ve never seen it before, the book is a very interesting look at “woodcraft”, as they called bushcraft back then, back in the day! Much of the info is still useful, although some parts are downright funny in 2022, like what kind of nails, cast iron skillets etc. should be included in your pack for a trip into the backcountry! Our modern day ultralight backpackers would have a convulsion!
a night-vision camera is definitely a must in the next videos when something is near you and you don't want to distract them with the lights.
That would be pretty cool
expensive.
Nah all he needs are night vision goggles XD
Sentry guns
In New York, that’s a Stromboli. The burnt side looked real good, that was an excellent bushcraft culinary endeavor. Great tarp skills.
Ohh man I had trouble putting a name to it. Thanks brother! :)
I always cook and eat at a different location than the campsite where I'm going to be sleeping. That's because bears can smell the food in your campsite even when you've removed it. Just makes good sense. I've never had a bear problem at my campsite, although I have seen evidence of a bear at the place where I left my food hanging from a tree after getting up in the morning and checking things out.
I mean good idea when possible but not the most practical for backpacking.
I love how this man doesn't cover up his mistakes, gives everyone else a chance to improve their technique without letting his ego get at him. 💙
I've had things bump up against our cabin, and it was heavy and powerful. I was afraid it was going to come through the glass doors. I closed the blinds, not that it would have done any good. But it lasted most of the night and scared the hell out of me. We've sold the cabin since. My parents were also frightened by something like it, and decided it was time to stay in the city.
That's fucking terrifying mate
I always feel much safer behind 13 or so rounds of 9mm
Sounds like you ma'am, had a bigfoot messing with you and the family. Your story sounds very common. Glad y'all ended up safe.
Sounds like a bigfoot!
@@dukeofdixieland Yeah unless it's a Bigfoot or Dogman
Everyone else : It's a bright sunny day , lets go camping
Xander : Snow on the ground and rain on the forecast , yes ... lets go camping
lol Accurate :p
@@XanderBudnick aren't your chances of running into a bear higher in sunny weather? :-) Awesome channel!
😸😂👍‼️💯
@@03041976001 I don’t think the weather matters if it’s a hungry moma bear or any hungry bear
nature, camping, and cooking show all rolled in one.. and I love it
Your cinematography of your journey is fantastic, but I can't help but laugh whenever I think about you having to walk back and grab the camera after taking a shot of you far away. Great stuff as always. Keep it up!
I don't think he comes back to collect all those cameras. That's a shame he's leaving behind all those cameras in the woods but Xander is just genuine like that and he's the hero we don't deserve xD
Exactly my reaction as he walks by it
funniest is when he wakes up in the morning and says good Morning! 🤣🤣
@@russp622 lol of course he goes back to collect them after shooting, how else would he get the footage?
@@MaybeLily1234 I think Xander secretly trains a monkey to go collect all the cameras he leaves behind.
I just love these videos! The experiments, the food, the solitude. So refreshing.
Sasquatch's are known to mimic humans and even baby's crying. Whoops, screams, growls, whistling, wood knocks, rock throwing and throwing things, tree breaks, pushing over large trees, putting trees upside down, rock clacking, and heavy footfalls. They're illusive and even hide in the dark while being observed by infrared and thermal cameras. Thanks for sharing your camping trip and I hope you stayed warm!
Dear dude, I dunno if you check comments on your old vids, but I've been watching your stuff for a good while now and it occurs to me that if I was offered the chance to spend a few days with any TH-camr, it would be you. Hands down. I love your vids. You're like a friend who doesn't know me. I dunno. But your spirit and your love of the outside just shines brightly and I love that. My best to ya. Cheers
From many outdoor channels on here yours really stands out for me. I’ve dealt with the same problems you have spoken about in another video and it’s good to see your life has moved in a better direction. From watching you I’m now inspired to spend my weekends outdoors. Thanks for the content Xander. A fan from England.
man, your videos are so good. The cinematography is insane. Love watching them, when I have no opportunity to go out. Also you kinda inspired me to go solo hiking, and i just can`t stress enough how much i enjoy your videos. Have a great day!
That's what I call a perfect bushcraft video , an original tarp setup , a nice firepit and some good food , and an attention to erase any trace of your passage at the end . A special mention to your images of the thunderstorm passing nearby, pretty cool ! Thanks !
Thanks my man! Glad you enjoyed it :D Watching the thunderstorm was one of my favorite parts of the outing :D
You are really brave, if I heard that voice I would have cried and go back to home. I believe that another world exists.
That noise sounded like a deer or Moose as you ssy. By the way, nice Calzone you made. Thats not a pizza! You'll turn into an Italian in no time!
I agree! thanks my friend! it turned out way better than I was hopping! hahaha I sure hope so :p
I've been binging your videos; it's so relaxing
Stumbled upon this channel last night. Love it. Great work, Xander.
You impressed me a lot, you make your dinner experience a beautiful thing. Boy fascinating. I learned a lot about it.man congratulations
Pete from Boston
Another brilliant post, Xander. Watching what you do, in such beautiful places, is amazing. Those strange cries in the night sounded eerily almost human. Your videos are so peaceful and they bring tranquility to the soul 🙂💯🌟
Thanks Paddy Happy you enjoyed it! It turned out to be such a beautiful location! The cries did sound eerily almost human :p Cheers my friend!
Love when you cut the wood with folding saw. 😁
Right on! Cheers!
This was a great trip! Thank you for posting it. I think your cooking is great too. I get so much enjoyment from your videos, and this one had the added nighttime noises that were a little scary. Excellent.
I love watching what you cook/eat for some reason! Another great video!
Thanks brother. Glad you like the food. I have something cooking up for my next trip :p
Your clips are very fun.
Glad you're into them :D
Man you are living the life Which many of us jst dreame about..
God bless you and family 😇
Thanks brother. I am definitely very grateful
there's just something about bush cooking that is so much more enjoyable than a cooking show
Great video! You shouldn’t have to worry much about bears this time of year. It takes them several weeks after emerging from their dens to start to get an appetite back. This time of year they are generally only interested in feeding on plants and vegetation until their metabolism gets back to a normal state. Certainly doesn’t hurt to be cautious by hanging your food away from camp though, in the meantime.
Hey Robert Thanks for the info! I was genuinely very curious about this as I wasn't sure if they come out of hibernation with a ferocious appetite or something. Good to know they're slow going this time of year.
Make the videos longer please!!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽I can’t get enough.
Hey friend. I'll definitely think about it :)
@@XanderBudnick you should man. Maybe even throw two out there. Short ones and long. I love the long vids. They are such a great escape and super relaxing.
@@dirtybsvarieties4934 Thanks for the Idea m friend
Love your videos been binge watching last while! I learn something new every time. Quick question when you go camping what time you usually sleep at?
Thanks my friend Glad you're into them and are learning some new stuff! I find myself going to bed around the same time I would at home. especially on one nighters so around 11-12 oclock
I really enjoyed this,keep them coming.Many thanks.
That was a fawn. I love the way they sound.
I would love to be a cook a camper and a brave person like you man. Your food makes me hungry 🥩🍕🍔🤗
I'm 50 years old and I'm still afraid to go into the woods at night!
@@RM-ms3px thank you 😊👌
Thank goodness most humans are fearful. otherwise our wild places would be overrun with human activity more than it already is. Btw... there is so much more to be wary of living in a well lit city. Humans are the most dangerous beasts.
Thank you for that new Adventure and Upload Bromigo 💪🏼😁✌🏼
Cheers Brother Ofcourse!!! Have a great day!
man, your video is always that soothing
Xander posted a video? Insta like, then watch! Your vids are amazing man, you've inspired me to finally start camping after a year of being on the fence. Much love from Quebec!
Hehe awsome stuff my friend! Im so happy to hear that, you'll definitely love it! :D
Xander does not disappoint, great video. Cannot wait for summer to see you back on your canoe. I am a kayak person and love the water, backcountry camping and a good fire. Keep it up!
Thank you Cirene :D Im super excited for all the ice to clear up to get back in the water too :D a week or two more :D
Oh so lucky (very jealous) Ice does not melt as fast here in AB but I always have BC *wink* Stay safe amigo!
@@CireneDerStepanian :)) cheers my friend
Happy to see new video Xander! Looking forward to watching it :-)
Cheers my friend! hope you enjoy :D
the part where you were trying to catch the cheese in the wind cracked me up and the lightening takes were awesome!! Keep up the good works!!
That's a better Stromboli than most restaurants make around me lol good work
All the love and support from the Philippines! ❤️
thanks my friend
Love your tarp set ups!!
Love the vids Xander! Keep em coming
Thanks Brother will do
I saw one of your videos from my recommendation and I loved it! ❤️From India!
Awesome! Thank you! Greetings from Canada!
All the love and support from India 🇮🇳❤...come and visit 🇮🇳India
Good video. Thanks for posting!! There is just something about camping in a storm. Puts that extra boink of excitement in there. Food was just great too. Mmmmmmmmmm
About 20 years ago I bought a Trekker Tarp made by Walrus and used it a few times beach camping on Catalina Island. It was a great shelter, worked well in heavy rain also.
The fact that you came back to pick up the camera at 0:44 respect.
Cheers brother :D
Very cool videos, often hilarious, mKes me want to camp too. I was scared those noises would wake up the bears haha.
Greatings from the Netherlands!
Thanks my friend. Greatings from Canada
These videos are so calming, I fall asleep to them sometimes :)
nice name
Your channel has been my sanctuary. Great video man. Keep it up. From Malaysia 🇲🇾
SOOO Beautiful, my man!
Thanks brother :D
Love your videos, Xander! I watch and wish I had the equipment and skills to make hiking trips like this. Plus I’m not sure my wife would like me to go off for a couple of days. 😬😂
Thank you for sharing.
Tarp in the back yard is good too👍
Man, your videos always make me hungry. Good stuff!
:D
I’m addicted to these videos
The freakiest thing I have heard in the woods while solo camping was a fox...I have seen them in the woods before but had never heard them..it was freaky! I thought for sure a dogman had come for me...lol.
I remember I was camping and there was a lake covered with cat tails so I was going out of the tent in the pitch black and there was a mountain like 7 and a half miles away a forest behind me I look behind me and seen a pear of eyes and I was like “Get the f back in the tent” so I did. 1 hour or 30 mins later I heard a loud screech like a huge creature and scared everyone up (there was 19 people) we all woke up got are flash lights and found nothing we all went to bed. Next morning I went to go investigate where the pear of eyes where and the only thing left behind where broken branches and still to this day I can still remember the sound.
You made my dream .good luck champ 💙
Right on! Have a great day my friend!
This channel is the best thing I found on TH-cam this year
Man ... you're good! Really awesome to watch.
That was awesome, there ya go! Thanks! I've smashed all the smashers! Salutations from astonishingly grey, wet & still mostly locked down Ireland! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️
Glad you enjoyed it my friend
xander is very good in making weird noises! hahahhahah. and very good in making camping food too. i have fun watching this video...
xander is my idol! 😊😉
Thanks, friend. after watching the video I was surprised at how close my impersonation was. Glad you like the food and the video! Have an awesome day!
Lots of love from 🇧🇩 Bangladesh. My eyes are glued on your videos. Carry on
Hey Xander, great videos! I've been binge watching your vids, and they are all so great! Thank you for those!
Just wondering how you would have converted your set-up during this trip if it had rained? Would you have used your tracking poles to pull a line across and fold the tarp down over the line to make a roof? I'm just curious, as I'm planning on doing more solo trips with limited gear too.
Ignor everything.. Jst Imaging how can this guy stay all alone at such place 😱😱😱😱.. U r the example of real brave man 😅👊💪💪.. Awesome
Hey I just bought that sleep pad at REI niceeee
Very exciting camping ~~
Excellent!!!
Your videos are peace to mind❤
Cheers my friend
Xander, I love your videos and nature in it. Can I ask, where are you camping? Thx
Hey Im camping on crown land in ontario Canada
11:00 this is why i never want to go camping or at very least not alone 😂 i know some of you might disagree with this but in my country (Indonesia) its very common to suspect something like this as supernatural phenomenon such as ghost sighting or the ghost making sound to lure you to them. There are MANY scary stories involving hiker and camper in Indonesia, especially in mountains/forests that many consider as somewhat sacred places.
Yes that's scary India also same thing
Jinni!
Paradise 🫶🏾
Nice overnighter. Love your style of commentary. Freaky noises suck when you’re solo. 😳😊 Thanks for sharing.
Thanks brother - Definitely freaky when alone :p
You continue to amaze me with your videos! The storm in the background was cool! I think the noise was some kind of fox..just my guess. Thanks again for another awesome solo backpack trip in the Canadian wilderness!
Rick From Virginia
Thanks, Rick I really appreciate it! I really enjoyed the Storm as well it was super beautiful to watch. Could be a fox. my guess was a moose, someone mentioned a baby beaver which could make sense because the slapping water noise, I'll keep my ear to the ground! have a great day
I was thinking fox also!
@@notquiteultralight1701 fox sound like an old lady screaming. Scary and creepy as hell. I hear them all the time behind my house.
I like this Fox theory. Do you have or have you heard fox’s before? I have not

Love the video man, keep it up!
thanks brother!
Spot on vid kid. Keep em rollin'! 😊
I live in rural Maine and it’s hard to make out with the other sounds but it sounded like a deer fawn/moose calf bleating for its mother.
That cracked ice is rather disturbing. I would have investigated. I bet the baby fell through. Now I’m going to wonder.
😯
Hey Xander, as the snow melts what kind of animals do you have to contend with/be wary of in Canada?
I'm from the UK where slugs would probably be my biggest problem 😄🤮
Hey friend! Mostly just the black bears I'm concerned with. Ive got to start hanging my food in trees now. Ill start carrying bearspray too just incase i encounter a momma with cubs on the trail which can be a bit dangerous. In the fall i might be a bit concerned with Moose because they're all jacked up with testosterone because of the Rut but mostly just the bears. If i lived on the west coast id be super concerned with the Grizzlies but fortunately we only have the smaller black bears
Love this.
love your videos about winter and snow!
Thanks friend. Me to. It's spring now so the snow is all melting
@@XanderBudnick i'm from vietnam. Your videos are so great and i love camping overnight too. 😄😄
Saw that Brooks & Birches Watched your videos, so checked ya out & really enjoyed it.
Subscribed & look forward to watching your other videos.
ps- Not woopy enough for a Sasquatch, for Deer or Moose like to my ears.
Right on brother glad you enjoyed the content! Say hi to Brooks & Birches for me :p
Definitely, I'd agree. Baby Beavers been floating around too.
Awesome vid and do you have your own property or do you camp on crown land and how do you find crown land ? Thx ✌️🇨🇦
Thanks, my friend! I usually camp on crown lands. it's tedious to find at first but with some practice, you can find it easily - The Crownland Use Policy Atlas online is a bit difficult to understand at first but there's lots of tutorials on youtube. I like the IHunter App better but you need to cough up $25ish bucks for the crownland info subscription. but its worth it if you're serious! Have an awsome day!
Oh wow ok thx very much for that info! ✌️🇨🇦 Ps stay safe eh
I love the sharp saw edit! Lol looks like the saw is cutting thru the branch with a stroke or two. Lol
0:40 gotta appreciate the fact that he did that shot for us just to go back for the camera

Good to see yah!
That was a gunshot at 11:32. Someone was out there hunting.
Xander - easiest way to make pizza in a pan. Pour Bisquick into the pan and mix it with enough water to make it thick. Place it on the camp fire for 3 minutes. Take it off and load it with your ingredients then place it back on the fire for about 5 minutes and now you have the perfect pizza!
Love your videos keep going !
Awesome!
Nice to see you back out with Patches
Just stumbled upon this channel. Instant fan. Great video.
I want that saw!! you barely show it to the logs and they just fall apart!! lol That pizza roll hot pocket thing looked out of this world!!! I am fer sure gonna try it out! thanks for sharing!!
The 2nd thing you could do with your lean-to. Put one pole in the middle of you tarp. Then bring your corner down to the ground. This way if the wind changes you can protect yourself from wind, rain and snow. Then if it gets really bad you can bring both corners down to get out of the elements. Keep your fire at arms length away for easy starting in the mornings.
Myself I use a 12X12 foot canvas tarp to make my lean-to. I've used my set up many times for camping and hunting. Fun set up
This helps put me to sleep so quick
Love your videos, just please be careful out there. 💕🤗
Xander’s camp food >>> my home food.
