Just to tell you know , I'll never get bored watching an hour of your camping trip. Thank you Xander
Means alot man
Íi
My exact thoughts!!!! 💯
Agreed, short videos are nice but a longer video like this gets saved for a Sunday morning adventure with the kiddos. Cheers and thank you
Same here
I live in the UK, my capabilities are limited due to age and illness, thank you for enabling me to forget the world for an hour and take me to places i never have or would be able to go to, i can only imagine the behind the scenes work (placing cameras and editing) that goes into making these amazing trips come to life for us, may your channel continue to grow, you deserve every success, Thank you.
Check out Jim Bard as well……
Well said 👌🏼
Agreed 😊
Excellent loved every moment thanks for the trip
Agree. I’ve got Lyme’s which prevents me from going on trips such as these! Thank you for taking me “along!” It is worth MORE than you know!
The amount of times and the distance you travelled to go grab your cameras after doing the walk away scenes is admirable. Great work. 👍
Are you really an idiot? He has a drone camera.
he probably uses his drone and just flies it back to him so he doesnt have to keep going back for it
@@eyez587
Maybe for some shots. The angles and locations the camera are in would be too sketchy for a drone to hover in. Not to mention the variety of focal lengths in many of the shots and the depth of field is far to shallow to be a drone.
Perhaps the more open shots are the drone. Otherwise, my bet is that he really did have to set up the tripod shots and go back to get afterwards. Xander is a man after Les Stroud.
That beaver dam bit was genuinely hilarious
Just have to say it, what Xander did at 14:10 is why I love these videos so much! 😄In-between the beautiful nature, the cooking and everything else, you give us these gems of pure silliness and fun! Never stop being you Xander, you have a pure soul
someone give this man an Oscar
20:51
35:05 😅
If I could find a friend like him, I'd never be unhappy.
An hour video on a Saturday is what I was hoping for. Thank you, Xander
Hope you enjoy
Love this dudes pure happiness and how open he is to show his audience his personality. I’ve been watching these videos recently before bed and it’s been such a great way to finish a long day. You definitely have me excited for upcoming adventures with nature. Thank you for these videos!
Every one of your videos/trips of recent seems to top the last. Not diminishing any of them because they’re all beautifully captured and unique in there own ways, but just wanted to say the videos keep getting better and better. A testament of your filmmaking (because honestly that’s what they’re becoming) so proud of you and your growth on TH-cam and as a person. You truly make us feel like we’re there with you Xander… along with informing us on some things we might not know. thank you for being one of my favourite creators. So glad TH-cam recommended me your channel a couple of years ago…. Cannot believe it’s been that long and I’m more immersed in your content then ever. Thanks you sir sorry for being a few days late ❤ yaba daba doo
Thanks my friend that means alot :))
53:32 That smile is the best part!
Thank You Xander.
Thank you for taking us into the wild nature
Thank you for sharing your adventures
Thank you for being yourself
Thank you for those small sketches for laughing
Thank you for the music (i always feel so small and so big at the same time when you bring in this 'song')
Thank you for inspiring us to live in and for the moment!
"What is better than this moment right now?
Nothing"
Thank you for your comment
The music reminds me of Residential Evil 4 👀
Will never get tired of these hour long videos!! Can't express how grateful I am that you keep posting them!
Glad you enjoyed
Suddenly, this episode seems to be a compression of life. I'm sure it started out as a comedy genre in Diablo, but at the end, tears flowed down. the blue beautiful fish ,Mysterious Aurora ,Beaver King and Perito ,Rough Log, Lonesome Grave oh! xander!!! Your story is enriched . And I deeply sympathize with what you said" what's better than this moment right now nothing" You're telling me to be faithful to the present, right? thank you so much
Brother, it's not so much the Destination, it's the JOURNEY ! WE ARE ETERNAL BEINGS, ENJOY THE RIDE ! 👍✌️
There's very few people that I will watch for an hour and you are at the top. Your appreciation for the outdoors comes through loud and clear. Beautiful video man... Thank you
Xander, you and Jon absolutely kill me with the editing. You're both so funny and equally as moving with your cinematography and editing choices. Thank you for this movie and the chance to escape through your content. Cheers!
Apparently reading the scroll at the beginning wasn't enough for the beavers... they needed a sacrifice, you falling in was it.
The ending with the drone shots, really showed how small we are in the big picture of those beautiful lakes.
Thanks for the video!
Great as always. Thanks for sharing, especially for those viewers, who don't have easy access to untouched nature.
Hi Jane how are you?
I love the combination of beauty, peace and laughter in your videos. When it's done, I often have this sense of reverence, like I have just experienced a sacred moment, stepped into something so much bigger and powerful than myself and it has touched my soul. I look forward to the next one! Thank you, Xander!
Thank you. That is such a beautiful comment ❤️
You consistently outdo yourself with each adventure. Every moment of this video was spectacular - continue to inspire man. You’re amazing.
Thanks brother 😊
How does it happen that each night's campsite was prettier than the last?! Just gorgeous. Your filmmaking skills are epic. What a beautiful, beautiful short film.
I LOVE seeing my two favourite TH-camrs (Jon & Xander) do separate videos of the same routes with different perspectives and video
Jon taught him how to read, write and fish as well as this canoe route. Awesome Xander, you both complete it uniquely. Fantastic video both from different perspective.
Hi how are you?
This was such a great video, you put so much effort in, and it's amazing to see how high quality the production is becoming! Love ya Xander x
Thank you :)
@@XanderBudnick Hello! Please write your email, I have questions about the equipment.
So much respect. The skills to plan the trip, know how long it will take, know what you need, know how to make a fire, camp, fish, prepare fish, take video, process the video, do time lapses, and share your experience. Very motivational, very talented, this is just my opinion. I'm sure others share this opinion too.
That was a magical 55 minutes Xander, almost shed a tear with that final drone shot! Your skills as a videographer do not go unnoticed sir, some of those frames looked like a Bob Ross! Thank you for the effort you put into these and for sharing them with us
Also did this route this summer and only saw one or two people at the launch. The trails were better maintained than we had expected. Those log jams really boggle the mind for how many logs get stuck there. Great job at capturing the northern lights. Thanks for sharing!
With the amount of wilderness and survival videos I watch I'm surprised at TH-cam for not recommending him earlier. My most recent but now favorite channel 💯💯💯
Loved the time lapse each night, just stunning. Those log jams, wow, I’ve never seen anything like it. And you still managed to have a smile after wards. Thanks Xander another awesome video!!
Hi Lucie how are you?
The sentiment you share about the simplicity of being in nature really resonated with me.
Thanks for taking us along on another incredible journey. Capturing the northern lights on multiple nights was spectacular. I particularly love your sense of humor. From reading the scroll to the beaver king to your imaginary beautiful friend in the canoe. Another stellar trip. Well done, Xander. Thank you for sharing.
As always Xander, thank you for your wonderful content. No complaints on video length.
Your humor was on point with this one. It always seems to shine when you are solo.
These style of videos are everywhere on TH-cam and carving out a proper niche is quite a challenge. I think adding a comedic factor to these trips have made them truly unique and joy to watch.
Absolutely crazy good video!! We get so use to watching your videos not realizing the amount of effort you put into your camera angles and footage. 🙌
Hi Deborah how are you?
Been following this channel for about a year now still my favorite channel. Get extremely excited anytime I see a new video best way to start my mornings. Amazing work as always Xander 🤘🏻
Thanks my friend that means alot
It's super interesting to me when you highlight the sorta existential aspect of these trips and these videos. There's something about being isolated in that nature that points out how vulnerable we are as individuals. Separated from civilization we aren't much of anything, the strength of humans really comes from that collective our ability to do things in numbers but along the way we lose that perspective of how much smaller we are on the grander scale. Really gets the mind moving especially with your eye for cinematography.
Dude! Couldn’t explain it better , “makes it a lot easier to be present “ what its all about !
Watching your trips is inspiring , keep em coming sir
Nothing better than a Xander vid to end the night - enjoyed the hour long masterpiece ⭐️
Hi Brianna how are you?
I love how we can see you getting more comfortable in front of the camera and seeing more and more your personality ever video! You’re absolutely hilarious! Love the videos keep ‘‘em coming ❤
Perfect timing for a video, i just want to say thank you for everything so far Xander. I'm very grateful for the amount of effort you put into these videos.
I appreciate that my friend
@@XanderBudnick No worries man! :)
I was really struggling a few months ago with a heroin addiction that I’ve had for 15 years. Your videos got me thru and I’m so grateful for you and for them. I’m sober now and doing good so thank you for helping me find peace in those hard moments.
Keep up the fight my friend. You've got this
You are without a doubt my favorite youtuber. The amount of time and effort put into ALL your videos is incredible. These last two years I've been watching you, has really changed my outlook on alot of things in life, and you are a big inspiration for me. You teach me so much, every video, about everything. Keep going, Xander, and never ever stop. Much love from Norway. :)
Best outdoor adventure video content out there. Your candid honest commentary is great. Love all the interesting creative twists with different characters/versions of yourself. Videography (especially considering solo) is top notch. Thank you for your videos. You are one hardcore camper. And your videos are nothing short of fantastic.
You are definitely one of the best adventure TH-camr.
The quality and sound of your videos are superb and your story line are excellent.
All the work for set-ups for your next shots, a lot of effort on your part.
This does not go unnoticed. We love you for your excellence.THANK YOU XANDER!!!
Great video Xander, I can tell you put a lot of effort into the filming from the skits to the time-lapses and the amazing shots of you paddling away. It all makes my day 100 times better, thanks again :)
Watched several times; seemed like different loop from Jon’s but both very enjoyable. I like your serious perspective as much as your humor. Fishing underwater videos getting much much better, and the auroras outstanding. Don’t occur this far south in Oregon very often. Thank you for all the effort involved, hope patches still has many miles/kilometers to go. Deadlifts mandatory for those portages!
Those northern lights shots were just spectacular. I can only imagine what they were like in person. Xander, your films of your trips are inspiring! I'm now planning another October trip because of you. I'm always in keen anticipation for your next one!
They were wonderful but ill admit the camera really pulls out the light and color of them better than the eye can see
@@XanderBudnick Interesting…you captured them well then! I hope to see them in person one day.
Your sense of humor is so great, always have me laughing out loud literally. You always give us laughs, beautiful scenery, good food and lots of adventures. Stay safe out there and keep being awesome ✌️🙂 (RIP to Perrito 🐉 🪰)
Dude I admire your outdoors adventures, just your love for the environment around you and the wildlife in it is so refreshing to watch. I had a bad today and i came across your channel and it was like a switch flipped. Thank you so much🙏
You, John and Northern Scavenger have all done this route to perfection. Thank you for letting me follow along!
Those cloud shots... Damn Alex, so happy you can make a job out of such a wonderful activity
Thank you so much for sharing your outdoor adventures. The camera work is fantastic and I'm loving how you feature the location along with the bits that add personality to your videos. Xander, thank you and great job!
So close and connected to nature. Everytime the scene calms down I cry a little inside. Thank you Xander...
That was amazing thank you. So cinematic, great work Gustavo.
This is definitely one of my favorite videos. Thank you for sharing your trips with us…the peace and beauty of your journeys is inspiring and reminds us of what we miss when we make our lives busy.
I love your trips so much. I really like how grateful, happy and mindful you are in these beatiful surroundings, focusing on being in the moment as much as possible. And when that drone music kicks in, it's goosebumps everytime. I've found your content while dealing with some anxiety in my life, and I thank you for helping me to find calmness and relaxation through your content.
YOU are an out-door-nature-machine!!! Trucking all your stuff and canoe across all the gnarly terrain likes “it’s alllll part of the job folks-I’m no hero, just a normal man (he’s a HERO😂).” DON’T stop content ever please because if you did I’d be force to spend time with my wife !
Just stumbled across your videos and now slowly working my way through. So mesmerising and relaxing watching them.
It’s a great day when I see an upload from you Xander. You’re the reason I got back out there in the woods. Thanks for the continued inspiration!
im so in love with nature, seeing these videos bring tears to my eyes, its crazy
thanks for sharing this with us man
Thank you, Xander, for this video, they are always so immersive and fun to watch, I hope I could do this loop one day.
Cant describe how much i loved the fact that you flipped to lense to stay at the beautiful spot
This just gives me that feeling of its all about the journey, not the destination. Literally fills me with joy to see you choose a beautiful spot even though its early, because thats what hiking, adventuring, survivaling and nature is about, being in the moment and no time pressure
I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning, and it just amazes me how you continue to evolve. Each video offers something a little different, something special and unique. Thank you!
Incredible scenery! Ontario has so many amazing places to discover it’s unbelievable!
That was an incredible piece of film making. To catch the atmosphere, landscapes, sky and take people with you on such an epic trip was amazing. Thank you.
This is Emmy worthy.. thank you for sharing your experience, and kudos for doing it so well.
Wow! Never seen such a great trip before!
One hour in an absolutely wonderful land, with a man who has the right sense for it and additionally has a great hand to report it with his cam. Thank you so much for letting us participate on this phantastic trip!
All the best to you for future journeys!
Greets from Germany, Achim
😃🤓 👍👍👍
Your adventures and filmmaking skills continue to progress. It's awesome following along with you. Thanks for your positive spirit and hard work!
its pretty weird how much joy and fun such videos can bring into a strangers life. The "el diablo" part kills me everytime. I hope everyone watching your videos has such a great time as me. Its just pure joy, thank you for doing this and sharing it with us! You are Awesome! Until the next time im gonna rewatch this.
this is a life i am going for... Thank you for your incredible work, Xander. You are awesome
Nothing better than coming home and seeing xander has posted an hour long video. Can’t get much better than that. Especially as it has the northern lights in it !
Hope you are fine
Once again you roll out another hour of enjoyment. You bring us into areas we can no longer access ourselves due to health and age and allow us to, once again, live the lifestyle.
As always, you travel with humor, fun and without complaints when the going gets tough. You're a joy to watch and we'll keep watching as long as you keep filming.
What an amazing trip 😊 Thanks for bringing u’s along ❤
I was recently blessed to find your videos Xander. Not only is the scenery absolutely breathtaking, but your witty, fun, shining personality brings me pure joy! What a treat! Thanks for being you!❤✌
Thanks for sharing! We loved the lakes, the rivers, the log jams the moose the beaver, the carcass the starry sky shots, the northern light shots, the tent, bonfires the cooking and eating the catching fish the beautiful scenery... everything... it was epic! The length was perfect for us too... we like the videos to be between 40 minutes to an hour or so. This one went really fast because we loved watching you! You are so fun to watch... we're just old people and wish we could do the things you do and go the places you go; but we're stuck here so watching you do all those crazy things gives us a lot of entertainment! Thank you!
Aww thank you glad you enjoyed
Hi Dusty how are you?
This episode makes me feel like I've been in the wild and missing it.
Absolutely love your filming style and crazy sense of humor. You make being alone in the bush a pure joy. I paddle and camo alone with my dog and I love it. Keep up the great work!
Awesome as always Xander, thank you for taking us along and God bless you and Beaver King
Hi Elizabeth how are you?
Love your videos so much man, it’s awesome to see how much your channel has grown over the past year. Well deserved
Thanks my friend
Pure beauty, Xander. Your cinematography skills are outstanding. Thanks for taking us along with you. And Patches proves herself again and again. Long may she run. 🥰
Hi Raye how are you?
makes me want to go camping all the time. i love nature and these videos makes me able to experience camping when i can't go myself yet. freshmen in highschool and waiting to finish school so i can go on my own adventures. thanks for these videos!
This is wholesome viewing for the entire family. Thank you for taking us along!
I’m glad for us and you that you stopped at that beach near the start! The green sky and the mist in the morning was something else man
Damn I love this channel. Everything from audio to cinematography to editing is just done so well. Love your humor as well!
Ty
All your videos are full of appreciation, its a wonderful reminder to just slow down. Thank you mate 🤙
ALL of this was magical. Your trips and vibe center me.
This video was amazing. Never a boring minute in your videos, this hour was wonderful and a pleasure to watch. I never want them to end . You show us the beauty of places a lot of us will never see. Thank you XB
Thank you Xander for your humble way of presenting a relaxing, refreshing, funny and inspiring adventure. Oh to have my youth back and to do what your young strong body and mind can do! Phenomenal trip and as always incredible filmmaking 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍
Thanks for being grateful in everything. Such a amazing guy.
Thank you, Xander. What good company you are. Present, thoughtful, funny, appreciative, and adventurous.
Love your vids , appreciate all the work you do to make them
I’ve said it before Xander and I will again! You are truly blessed with such amazing outdoor space and wilderness
I agree
Bro, all I wanna say is thank you for making these kind of videos. ❤ Looking forward for more journeys of yours.
One of my favourite Xander videos to date.
Thanks happy to hear that
You sure know how to keep an audience engaged. Thanks for the great content. Look forward to future videos.
Awesome adventure Xander and as always, your sense of humor😂
Thanks Xander! Great video...really appreciate the scenery you shared. I will likely never see Northern Lights in person so these shots are so valuable to me!
Thanks! Your videos are zen-like meditation to me.
As soon as I saw your thumbnail, I knew! This is such an awesome route. Stoked you got out there to explore it
Was hoping to catch one of those massive walleyes you guys caught. Pumped to see your arctic trip :)
Absolutely incredible Xander! That looked like an epic trip, bettered only by your cinematography. Discovery or National Geographic could and should sign you up because all they'd have to do is put this straight into the schedule! Amazing quality, thank you. 👍
This was one of the most enjoyable videos I have ever seen, thank you.
I have to say this was your best one yet. I cannot fathom how much work it took to not only film but much less get through those log jams at the end. RIP Parito!
Thank you
