Mr. Budnick, as a wife and mom of 3 boys, I've got to say your escapades aren't just for you but they're for your followers too! I love your question of the day and your humor. You have some of the best content out there. We appreciate you and thank you sir! What great adventures you go on and you always bring the BEST food to eat. Cheers to you!
Xander, this has to be the BEST video you've ever produced! What a great group of friends to be part of this epic trip. Thanks so much for taking us along and all of the extra work it takes to film yourself. Your videos are just the best!
Coming from a 77 year old Grandma, I loved watching your adventure. Holding my breath at times, laughing out loud, praying and just thouroughly enjoying the trip. Thank you.
Forgive for making this comment on the wrong TH-cam page but I have been jumping from Jim Baird to Zander. This is my first time seeing Zander You Tube page 😮
The fact you shared the gummies with your guys, the amount u gave them and the way that made them happy - Just like a bunch of kids enjoying life in the dangerous wilderness, awesome! Edit: the rock throwing part was juste pure happiness!
What was evident to me, even before the wrap-up interviews with each, was that this was just a solid cast of friends, and good people. When I think of group activities in my lifetime, there's usually at least one tag-along who is a dope, or irritating, and tends to spoil the mood/memories. Here, just a solid group of gentlemen whereby I'm sure it would've been a great time whether you were rafting, canoeing, or simply chilling on chairs on a beach. As an aging man, these are the moments you look back on when counting the treasures in your life. Thank you for sharing with us.
I was also skeptical about this trip at 1st. Super glad I came. It was so epic and one I'll always remember. Great group of guys and about as much adventure as could be packed into 7 days possible. Great edit and congrats on 800k 👊🎣🛶🏔📸
@@jeremiahallyn4603 One million will happen a year from now? We shall see. Max and Xander make adventure videos of high quality. They are Canadian. I mean this comment with respect. Canada is a world class country and destination. Yankee from MA, NH, and Maine.
Nothing like watching my favorite dad-joke comedian pro-duck identifying river-conquering foot-raw-doggin local nature man with a cup of Joe in the morning ☕️
OMG Jim & Ted Baird! They are bad-ass and are the real deal. If there was ever any white water to navigate, it's those two brothers you want with you! What a collab! I'm so excited for this one.
mate your honesty like about the nerve’s etc is one of the big reasons that i watch your stuff, no pretending. 👊you deserve all the success your getting mate
I've watched 98% of your library on here and I genuinely believe this may have been my favorite one yet. Idk what it was- maybe your nerves about the difficulty of the rapids, the camaraderie between everyone, or the specific location and scenery- but man did you absolutely crush this production. Appreciate you bringing us along and inspiring us all!
I just found your channel a few days ago and have been binging all your videos, I recently got into hiking as way to help me stay active and help increase my physical and mental resilience. You've mentioned in a few videos your struggles with mental health and addiction and I want to thank you so much for being open and honest about it. I have recently begun my journey to bettering my mental health after some tough times and I have found getting out into nature and taking in all it has to offer us to be an incredible way to clear my head. You have become such a massive inspiration to me and I wish you all the very best in life.
from the little things like you sharing your candy with everybody to the moment at 35 minute where they’re all screaming and cheering you on as you make it through the rapids, the camaraderie, support and lust for life that you all possess makes my day every single day that I watch an Xavier Budnick video! Thank you for the endless inspiration and positivity.
Wow the physical and mental strength it takes to do something like this, and to film it all with your special sense of humor. The drone work and falls were spectacular. My favorite Xander video to date.
I am loving this video. The photography's incredible. You are capturing amazing. Seems especially going down the Rapids and everybody. But what I really love about it is how you're interacting with the guys and showing them too. Because a lot of times when they're several people together, they focus on themselves more. I love how we're along with all of you and you're talking to them. And they're sharing stuff, and this is a great video Xander and you've done a wonderful job. It's gonna be fun to watch everybody else's too cause you are four of my most favorite people and two that i'm getting to know
Said it before and I’ll say it again - the quality of all of your videos is insane! Always appreciated - being from the UK seeing wilderness and adventure like this is always a treat. Cheers.
Lol, there's deffo a bit of those coming your way when I get my version out 😂 a bunch of ape sounds kinda took over some for some of screams for some reason though....
Wow Zander, always love your stuff! I so enjoyed this on a lazy Saturday afternoon! I especially loved the drone footage on this one with the shots of all of you working together and the falls, just wow! Thanks!
Xander, that was an awesome, tough, challenging, and rewarding trip. The drone footage was excellent. Your food 9 out of 10. Great content and a great crew. 👍👍👍
Loved the video. Lots of water and rocks. Loved the bond between all of you. Working together to get the job done. Congrats to you all. God Bless and be safe.❤❤❤❤❤
Great to see soloists challenging themselves. Awesome to watch brothers share in trips they will remember the rest of their lives. So far the most challenging trip I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing.
Xander your hair looks as wild as your adventure. Loved watching you and the guys having fun and the white water was awesome!! Glad to see everyone having fun and enjoying life. Great job on the video and good luck with your next adventure.
Been a subscriber for a while and have always enjoyed your content. But I've gotta say your last few videos have been epic! This one has to be among my favorites of all time.
1:11:06 Dennison falls is spectacularly beautiful ❤ really enjoyed this one Xander & I'm proud of you for facing your fear head on 👍 can't wait to see what you get up to in the Yukon!
So glad you came on this trip and brought us along to share the adventure. I love how honest you are about stuff and this is gonna be really fun to watch. Love you.God bless you and keep your safe. Blessings❤ Grandma Teri, Portland, Oregon
Incredible trip for the "Macho Man Tribe". Loved all the rapids and falls, but Denison Falls at the end were awesome. It was funny to see the Macho Man Tribe revert to a bunch of 5th grade boys throwing stones across the river. :D
I am only 14 minutes into this video and I freaking love it the drone shots are fantastic. I Camera work awesome. That’s what great memories are built out of good company in the outdoors. Nice to know some places exist even though I’ll never go there myself.
Every time I watch your videos I'm reminded about just how beautiful my home province of Ontario really is. Most of us spend so much time in the southern tip of it and never venture beyond the Muskokas and cottage country.
This is one of my best videos!! You all are awesome and I love the energy and your enthusiasm throughout the whole adventure!!! Can't wait to see the next one!
Wow ..no words what a fun video . I always say your best one yet and than you surprise us with another one . Spirit animal is definitely a porpoise 🐬 and Disney princess Snow White lol 😂.. stay safe . Look forward to the next one . Xander aka fishy feet aka macho man .. much love and light ❤
Classy to show us the times you avoided the tougher ones that your more experienced buddys took on. Or as Dirty Harry said, "A man's got to know his limitations".
Fantastic video! I have been paddling Canada for over 40yrs and to watch you guys today brought me such joy. I remember first watching water walker when I was a kid and thinking, what a
This was an amazing, funny, entertaining,beautifully filmed trip with epic scenery. Thank you for taking the time to share your joys and fears with us all. I loved how you interviewed your team,what a crew. So many LOL moments in this video!
What an awesome video! I laughed out loud so many times. Particularly when you were all acting like monkeys throwing rocks into the water 😂 great video, Xander! Thanks for the content!
I'm a 71 yo Wisconsin native who loves Superior and BWCA. No longer able to do all the exciting things you do, but I live vicariously through your vids!!
I like your friends. I'm glad you went too. As always your grub looked great. Those fish were nice, and a great feed I bet. I'll probably rewatch this tomorrow. good video. Pax.
Ahhh, roughing it and having a comfort food like spaghetti to finish the day. You can never go wrong with spaghetti, whether in the fanciest, ritzey restaurant, or in camp in the woodlands off of Lake Superior.
You kept us enthralled the entire journey ! Can’t imagine the pure joy you all must have as your memories ! Truly, thank you for letting us enjoy your amazing time !!
The names you gave the rapids had me snort-laughing! Mucho respect to you for trying the challenging ones, and knowing when your fatigue or skill level should keep you away. Can’t believe all that you filmed, what with all the energy you were expending portaging and running the rapids. Wow. No wonder there’s so much food in this video! Thanks for taking me there. Glad you got home safely.
I enjoy your videos of Ontario fishing, canoeing, camping and the beautiful scenery. I started fishing Ontario in 1965 with my Dad. I love the Nipigon area and the country around it. I enjoy your videos, thank you for keeping the language clean, that's very important to me and the family as we watch your videos. I live in Northern Michigan and look forward to all the New content coming. Thanks again!
This was the greatest video ever!!! All the boys together in one epic adventure 🥰 So many highlights, like the canoe torpedo 😮 The unanimous Baird Brother "Yeaaaaaaaaaah!" you recieved & the fish caught at end. Just to name a few.
Man, I was fighting tears at everyone's recap of the trip. What an incredible group of friends with just the most wonderfully varied personalities. You said a few times that you almost didn't go on this trip and what a heartbreak that would have been not only for you, but for all of us! I absolutely love your content, thank you so much for creating it for all of us to see.
A new video, a livestream, and ANOTHER new video all in 7 days??? You're spoiling us Xander

I was so amused when all the guys started throwing rocks across the river, boys having fun. This was a great video adventure.
All hail the beaver king!!! 🦫
Thanks for documenting something most of us just dream about.
Thank you, Xander. All that danger, hard work, with a great group of talented friends, and you still made time for beautiful footage. 🌟
Hands down my favorite video ever. I follow everyone on this trip, and Xander, my friend EPIC is the word for me. Thanks for taking us with you.🤘

Isn't that the truth? In fact, I'd much rather watch a Xander full-length movie any day over an actual movie 😂
