I haven't posted in a bit but I hope this longer video this week makes up for it! Hope ya'll have been doing good :D
MRE when ?
Thanks.
It does make up for it! ❤️
It does, thanks man, love the videos
Greetings from indonesian camper vlogger
58 minutes. Yes, yes, YES. I know it takes a lot of effort to makes these longer videos. I’m sure I speak for the majority of the community but keep these up. I can wait a bit longer for an hour of pure goodness. Love the content sir. Keep it up!
right on glad you enjoyed :D
and all without a ma, he "takes care" of his family!!!!!!!!!! normally he does ALL the cooking, THEY made this possible for him to say, well!
That's exactly what I wanted to do in my twenties but I was so busy with work I put my head down and went to work and when I came up for air I worked rite through my 20's,30's and 40's then became a single parent and got diabetes and osteoarthritis and heart disease and now I'm just living vicariously through wonderful you tubers like you. Someday I would love to just try and do this.
These videos just put me in a special kind of happy place, just so peaceful and calming. Much love, Xander, and thank-you for taking us on your adventures!
Looks like an awesome adventure dude! Huge thumbs up from fellow creators. We hope to get back out on the water soon.
forseeeeen
Man you're so inspiring. Your sobriety, your strength and your family bond. God bless you all!
very inspiring. finding your channel has felt like ive struck gold.
i second this!
I third this!
Yes!
You've inspired me to film a small bike camping trip. Thank you!
oh terrys in here? thats whats up
Holy shit, Terry!
RIght on brother! Get it :D
Link it on this comment when done :)
Boss
The fish impression really caught me off guard
When I travel to my favorite camping spot, I take my fiberglass canoe, two paddles, camping gear and food to stay for two weeks alone. I register at the ranger station, unload my canoe and gear and take off. Two portages later I'm at my destination. I unload my gear, including my canvas tent and pull my canoe half-way up the hill out of the lake. I pull my duffle bag of food up into a tree on a rope. It is my understanding that putting your food up into a tree limb is a rule in many wilderness areas around The Great Lakes region. It just make sense to sleep as far away from your food as possible in bear country. I like to visit this area in the early Spring of the year. Less people are around then. Many times, I've spent the entire two weeks without seeing anyone else. Solitude restores my soul. I'm an old man of 65 now, yet, those good memories of spending time there remain.
Thanks for sharing - we often Haul our food in bags up in trees. in the food barrels sometimes we just leave them, especially in more remote areas where the bears are scared of humans. I enjoyed reading your comment, thank you
Dude, your videos have inspired me back out in the woods man. I don't know why I stopped, but your adventures have reminded me of the magic that camping has. Thank you.
RIght on man happy to hear that. Honestly it happens, i probably went a good 4 years without camping at one point :/
Same here.
58 mins LONG, time to get my popcorn ready 😋😂
It's great to see you get spoiled for a change. You didn't have to cook, chop wood, build a fire, and do everything else by yourself. You deserve to be pampered every now and then, lol. This was so enjoyable to watch, you're an awesome guy bro 👏💯✌
Never more at peace than when I’m watching your videos. So calming and entertaining to watch
Really like your generosity by liking all comments in the comment section.
Keep making these videos, i love watching them all.
I enjoy reading the comments tbh :) thanks my man, will do :)
OMG 58mins what a treat. Only a third of the way in and enjoying every second of it. Thanks for bringing us along truly appreciate it!
Love to see you hanging with your brother. My brother passed in 2014 and I miss him terribly. You're making great memories...
Been watching a lot of your videos lately. Gotta say I really love how you always act so positive and your random acts of childlike joy, like the bit of swimming in the rapids. Awesome stuff, great humor as well.
Watching this awesome video three years later and today Xander has 880 thousand closest friends,that's incredible.Keep going brother!
🇨🇦 Love this big beautiful country ❤️
Amen
I.am.so.jelly.
I live in Germany, and to get anything like that i gotta Drive all the way up to sweden. Love this content.
Keep it coming!
Take a drink every time he says "portage"
This man is trying to kill you.
I would be asleep if i did this
🥴🥴🥴
0:01 This intro is awesome, felt like I was watching a movie
Love this video as always, but I must compliment Maxim's wife on being a master camp fire chef. Nothing tastes better than great food in fresh air.
“I’m like a cat on me feet.”
A few minutes later, footage of rain and grumpy cat-like glares at surrounding rainfall.
Accurate
The trip is never over, Xander! Thank you so much for this special ride, when I watch your videos, I feel the wind on my face!
The drone footage is absolutely spectacular! Thank you, Zander, for sharing your incredible experiences with us!
♥ another beautiful video and I love the family time!! ♥ how blessed you are Xander. ♥ 🙏
♥ you have a beautiful, sweet spirit ♥
32:17 wow so pretty in its natural environment!!!
I wish u went camping every day and made daily uploads of 1 hour long videos, I’m addicted to ur camping videos
Hey Xander! I am a twin, our parents have camped for years and we are truly falling in love with it, especially bushcraft. We plan to do exactly what you and Max do, I've looked at your list of gear I don't know how many times. We want to get this ball rollin'. Whether it be a video or a brief moment of a video, could you cover the planning of your trips? (location, portages, sites, etc.) Keep doin' what you're doin' brother! Love it.
Absolutely enjoyed your video. Cheers!
The cinematography is amazing. Great work
I really enjoyed that. What a great trip, great views, fantastic camping partners and great food. Thanks for bringing me along
Loved EVERY second of it. Great filming, great editing, great content, great commenting. Thx again for sharing your adventures.
This is the only time i will ever sit and watch an hour long youtube video without interruption. I enjoy your videos.
“We left at 8am and now it’s 12:30, which is exactly 2&1/2 hours”
😆
Never change Zander, you’re an amazing human being
It's currently nearly 11pm in the UK. I started this video and I thought, "I'll just watch the first 10 minutes and I'll go to bed." Here I am an hour later, I've watched it all. A really well-made, informative and funny video. Well done and thank you!
So excited when I saw Xander uploaded a video. This just tops off my Saturday!
:DD
Your vids are always so healing... such a great job again, and again, and again. Thank you from Lake Tahoe, NV.
Absolutely amazing scenery, reminds me so much of Finnish wilderness. Ive always wondered why is the north american/canadian woods and animals so similar to Finland's which is across the freaking Atlantic on a different continent. Great video and awesome journey!
Wow it's amazing vedio.Beautiful place to relax
“Some good content right here.” 😂
Lol 😂
Yea I didn't quite expect that but oook 😁
I went start to finish on this one. Excellent bro...excellent.
Right on
This cinematogrsphy is just beyond stunning! Great work right there mister!
I've never, with full commitment, watched an entire TH-cam video that is this long! There's somthing about your videos bud, calming and absolutely entertaining. Keep up the great work!
Brilliant content Xander, honestly these videos bring a different kind of peacefulness to my day. I feel like I'm right there with ya!
not only do your videos make me want to go spend time outside, they make me incredibly hungry. the food always looks so good, even when its so basic
love the salmon impersonation ;) just to check when you portage, you go with canoe then come back for equipement then carry that? best thing i have watched in ages, keep it going...
Spirit Animal, Salmon! Aye yes we double carry on the portages.
I did a 10 day canoe trip in Sweden with a couple of friends 2 years ago.
It just calms my mind seeing your content and thinking back to those times.
Todays world is so hectic and fast - good way to charge those batteries up and ground yourself. Thanks ❤️
Hello, Xander, love your videos, always puts me in a good mood.
I celebrate you found your Zen and are clean and sober, you are a great inspiration and role model. Love your video's and skilled cinematography. You have a talent to relate to others, a gift to inspirer and are a gifted special person, peace be with you.
Oh my god. 58 minutes of video made by Xander Budnick in the Canadian wilderness? Thank you very much!! This is just what I needed!
Your channel has blown up recently, at one point you were gaining like 2000 subscribers a day! Well earned considering the effort you put into these amazing vids!
hehe hope you enjoyed! aye yah its doing well, im very grateful :D
@@XanderBudnick You deserve it! I'd love to see some more canoeing and longer trips (3 days+), they are a bit longer, which is great! :)
My dad and I watch your videos they are great!!! Thank you for putting out good content and don’t ever change you’re funny and a great person!
I truly enjoy watching your videos. Makes me want to go out and explore!
I hope that by the time people realise that social media and electronics aren't the most important thing in life, we still have places like this to visit!
That was absolutely epic mate! Congrats on your walleye! Jealous that you get to have some friends with you on this trip, always nice to have some buddies along camping
It was a small one but still pretty awesome for my first ever :) I'm an absolute AM at fishing but getting into it. Aye friends/family, can't beat em
@@XanderBudnick They all count mate! I've been trying for the past 6 years and still haven't caught one haha
@@BrooksandBirches dont give up Robert , perseverance is your trademark ;)
@@BrooksandBirches keep at it brother :D
@@bonpecheur4565 thank you Sylvain! Guess I'll just have to get myself north of the border
Thanks for taking us on the journey with you and your family; one of the best vids to date
Bravo, Your videos makes us motived & inspired. It tells that how much we can be happy in daily life of ours. Cheers!
Be safe....
Happy to hear that!
Ahahahahaaa! you're impression of a salmon running up the falls was AWESOME!!!! Those waterfalls coming off the riverbanks were amazingly beautiful!! Great adventure, great video! Thanks for sharing.
Even after just getting back from a rough camping trip to forget, this video (and your channel as a whole) make me want to get back out into nature and go on an adventure! Keep up the great work, man!
thank you sir, makes me feel more outside than i could actually be
Awesome video Xander. Love the length of this one! I just returned from a canoe trip where I used many of the knots that I learned from your videos. :D
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Every minute of it. 🤙
58:10 was just thinking i may stop watching this channel because of not enough shirts, but changed my mind pretty fast after the apology. Smart move.
Haha I know it's a goofy ending when I was on the trip and filming the ending I thought it was very obvious that I only wore one shirt the whole time so I said that but after watching and editing the video I realized it wasn't all that obvious oh well :p
You make me forget my problems with these videos. Thank you Xander!
32:16 should really be a meme, who will make the first meme?
This is like a metaphor of life 😂
I love how I can sit back in my home in the city and make my room super dark so I can pretend to be there you take us places thanks for the good content as always 🌲
Glad you're into the videos my man
Jon from 'Lost Lakes' sent me over from the UK. He said this was a good channel and you were a talented individual with the camera...if not as talented with the rod as your sister in law (he may not have said that bit) he wasn't wrong, sub'd
The camera work is great, loving the drones too. 'Scotty's gone walkabout' has amazing cinematography too but he isn't as funny as Xander.
Video is so calm. Loved it. It literally calms me down after a hectic day.
What a wonderful meal you guy cooked there! Even though she „oversauced you“ still fantastic :)
Over here in Europe we call Walleye „Zander“. Funfact ;)
Lol is that right :p
@@XanderBudnick Yeah it is. Google "Glasaugenbarsch" it says that its also called American Zander.
Aaaand…., yes!! The salmon impression made my night!!!👍🏼😃
I love how Xander is always just stuffing his face with food.
*Stuffs face with food*
"Yup, its weird."
you just living THE life mate..... THE life.. its awesome to watch.. and relaxing at the same time.
58 minutes long. This is gonna be good
It’s 12:49am on a work night - and I don’t care! Saw this one and had to watch. Love your work sir and appreciate you sharing your experiences with all of us. The salmon swim upstream made me laugh out loud.
Only just recently found this channel but the love for salami makes me smile, have a great day friends
I did this exact trip in 1989 and it brought back memories! I see you used a lot of dehydrated food. Just imagine if you could have dehydrated water! It would weigh nothing at all and you would just have to add water and voila, you could drink!! 😁
🤣🧐🤣
It’s so wild to see these videos that literally take place an hour from me.
Awesome Video guys still watching.
I love the Canadian wild😍😍can't get enough of it 😍😍we don't have such forrests in Germany. Could be because Germany is too tiny to have such big areas of wilderness. All forrests here are either commercially used or are national parks. So you can just camp on real camping places. No real chance to make big wilderness trips here where you are really alone. And making fire is a big no go in Germany either. Or in other words : the spots where you are aloud to make open fire are rare... Damn rare. 😞That's why I enjoy your videos so much. It's like I am there. I nearly can smell the fresh air and that warms my heart. Thank you for it. Really big thank you 😘🤗😍
Thanks gang for the best video ever 🥰
I really really enjoyed this video. When you impersonated that fish on the waterfall I almost spit my sweet tea out. LMAO. I rewound it and called my roommates in to show them and we were all laughing. Now they're checking out your channel also . Thank you for such pleasant and entertaining content .
One of your best videos. Thanks for sharing.
i just really enjoy your adventures so much. fantastic videos, greate narration, good energy, funny and gosh darnit....helpful
GORGEOUS trip. Thanks for sharing 😊
Bwahaha! The flopping salmon jumping the falls! Funny stuff!
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for the exciting tag along. This was an amazing experience. Be sure that you take good care of yourself. Stay safe and healthy out there. I look 👀 forward to the next exciting adventure 😀. 🤗
The 15-20 minute videos just don’t give the viewers the feeling of the trip but still enjoy keep them coming Xander! You rock!
noted
this is an awesome adventure!!! nearly an hour, what a treat!! thanks xander, I love you
I like the longer format! The drone shots and underwater shots are killer!
I just found you recently, love the longer vids but any new content is always a MUCH SEE... thank you
The legend is back missed you man hope all is well🤙🏽🤍stay safe
thank for always makeing me fall asleep so i wont catch my bed super late. your videos are all relaxing and makes me carving for camp and more nature trips
I could and actually do watch these all day
I'm late to the Xander party but loved this video and the nature photography especially was sublime. I'm really enjoying watching your experiences. Thank you.
This. Is . Incredible.
You’re the man
Those aerial shots give me goosebumps.
58 mins? good way to spend my break at work!!! well worth it
That fish skit is so funny . Every time I see it . It blows me away that now one has done that same thing
Never thought I’d be binge watching Macaulay culkin doing bushcraft videos
Bailing tip - I always take along a small sponge. Great for many things, but very light, easily packable, and perfect for quickly bailing water from a canoe as you paddle along on a rainy day.
