The chopping wood segment/editing was the best..lol EDIT: (I sometimes comment without watching the entire video) Regarding your stove - VERY IMPORTANT - Do NOT push your chimney inside the collar, as suggested in the comments, to fix the smoke issue. If you do, you risk carbon monoxide poisoning while you're asleep. The fix is two-fold. First, your stove should have come with an adjustable clamp (mechanics strap) to secure the chimney to collar. If you don't have one buy one at the hardware store. Then slip it on chimney and place chimney OVER collar. Then tighten strap with hands if you buy the butterfly type. Or use leatherman if nut/screwdriver style. It doesn't have to be super tight, I tighten mine with my hands. And secondly, that chimney is waaay too tall for the height of that tent. It has little support for the height and "could" collapse in strong wind even though you have it guyed out. Rule of thumb is never more than 50% above tallest peak of tent, ideally a 2-3 feet above tallest peak of tent. A much shorter chimney will retain heat travelling less distance and the pipe temperature reducing carbon build up. No need for clean fire log. Hope this helps, Xander. You continually produce some of the best outdoor content on TH-cam.
You talk out of your backside and obviously love the sound of your own opinion. Little chance of carbon monoxide poisoning in a tent such as this one in the video. The chimney should not only clear the apex of the domain, but also be in tune with the surrounding trees. Guyed out, it is going nowhere in a hurry. Stop with your doom and gloom advice.
@@RobertsBulgaria Kinda like talking to yourself hey buddy? Let the individual say their piece
@@KentuckyFriedSushi ''In vino veritas'' - perhaps, but look at the AIR gaps in this modified tent. Should I delete or allow my frustration at the comment to remain. I shouldn't leave a comment whereby someone could succumb to Carbon Monoxide poisoning if in a totally enclosed tent, but this isn't such?
Well Xander could take a carbon monoxide alarm if he was concerned.
i’m just too lazy to read this comment so i’m commenting without reading this comment 😅
As you said: 'Finding comfort in discomfort' is a joy you can't explain but have to experience. Thanks for promoting that experience!
I know you may not see this, but recently has been consistently the most traumatic few weeks of my life. this makes me smile and takes my mind off of things, which is weird cuz its just u out camping n shit and I have never even gone camping since I was like 7, but I don't know, I love it. I can normally not focus on one thing for more than a few minutes but I could sit through this really easy, thank you man.
Stay healthy Brad. And I hope next year will be a better one for you❤. Sending you a hug from Penetanguishene 🙋🏼♀️
hope get better brother, Xander the doctor of us
I hope that you’ll find relief soon. Life can be a cruel mistress.
@Cha Man Merry Christmas to you as well. I hope you find peace in your solace. ❤
I'm wishing peace for you. Especially peace of mind. Meditation, prayer, mindful thinking.. whatever helps. I'm glad you've found at least one thing to calm you and help you focus. Happy holidays Brad.
For cleaning the pipe:
Use cloth with red spirit or any kind of cleaning spirit works. Was in the military here in norway and we used that every time we were out in the field and had to clean our pipe after been using a hotstove in tents. Hope it helps!
or do it a little less efficient style when you are impatient... use a gas torch ^^ burns right through :D
We used this method in Poland the rednecks of europe xD
What's red spirit?
@@aaronfalzerano9432 I understand the question, it is directly translated from norwegian:D but red spirit is called methylated spirit in english if im not wrong. It can be used as fuel for cooking and camping stoves, but works as a cleaning spirit to remove stains (for example soot from pipes)
@@maxbrynildsen5455thank you for that. I’m going to clean the soot from my chimney pipe with that
The pipe can be easily cleaned with a spruce tree branch. We did that in the finnish military. This pipe might be too small for that though.
As an Ontario hunter myself, you are only required to wear orange during the rifle / muzzleloading seasons if you are carrying a valid deer/moose/ bear licence. But for hunting small game with bow or gun orange is not required, but still recommend if your hunting in an area with an open rifle season for big game
This is actually incorrect. You're required to wear hunter orange during open gun season for any big game, regardless of what and how you're hunting, with a couple exceptions. The 2022 Ontario Hunting Regulation Summary states: "All licensed hunters, *including bow hunters*, falconers, bear hunters, and trappers who are hunting under their trapping licence during a gun season for deer, elk or moose, are required to wear hunter orange. This requirement does not apply to persons who are hunting double-crested cormorants or migratory game birds, except woodcock."
And that makes sense, because why would it matter what you're hunting if other people are hunting big game near you? They don't know you're only hunting for grouse when they accidentally shoot you. Personally I wear an orange hat regardless of when and what I'm hunting just to be safe (except for spring turkey season).
The way I remember it without having to read the long verbage again in the regulations is.... if there is any open season for big game, I need to wear hunter orange. This is the bare minimum. I personally wear hunter orange even when rifles are allowed for fox and wolves. I also wear it even if I am not hunting and hiking thru my own land. Its surprising how seemigly in the middle of nowhere I run across other hunters.
I’d just wear orange in case you run into any of the “locals”
I’m sure you’re on top of Bill-C21. Just putting my 2 cents worth in here.
I’m not a hunter but I’m rooting/voting for y/our rights.
@@MrFreeGman actually I’m from sao paulo Brazil and all u have to wear is a thong and a bbl and ur gucci to hunt down all the pussy
I think this is my favorite Xander wood chop montage to date. Something very satisfying about the massive pile of rounds being turned to splinters in rapid succession. As always love the story telling of the video and the essence of the adventure. So glad the channel is doing so well. Thanks for the effort to share.
I noticed that, too. Question: from what I’ve seen in other videos, wouldn’t you want to keep some of them whole, so they’ll burn longer? That kindling must burn really fast.
Yes I loved the rapid succession of splitting the wood too!
@@dottiedavis355 I’m sure someone with more experience will correct me, but my experience is that the portable wood-stoves can be temperamental. The airflow is pretty limited, so keeping the larger pieces lit is an issue.
Yes, I laughed out loud much of him repeatedly whapping with his ax, then throwing the food into his fridge!
yes it was some mighty fine axe work.
This was seriously the best Xander!! The “YESSSSS”, burger scene, your face when the coyotes were howling, the beautiful snow scenes.. thanks for being you. ❤
I’m pretty sure that was cougar.
Someone has bigfoot audio footage and it's just Xander yelling into the night over his burgers
Could have been a Cougar ( N0T the 4 legged kind ), but it sounded more like an 0wl to me.
this was priceless!@@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage
The Sabe community have discovered the most fascinating creature of the woods: the Xander. I'm sure he's going to be a big hit. Tales will be told, his legend will grow; and the little ones will be warned to stay away from the baying burger man and his wild, wild humor.
Might I dare say, this is by far my favorite channel. Thank you for all the great content!
Agreed!
Easily best TH-cam channel out there!
Definitely 🥰🥰🥰
Agree!
This is peak Xander content! 20-30min, nice fire, some hunting, lots of snow, cooking and humor! It’s all we can ask for
Better and better every video, thank you for taking us along on your journey.
This channel is really fun camping for days and explaining or chatting, unlike the others just building a hut and it's done
greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩🇮🇩

As a Canadian winter camper or outdoor enthusiast in general, I must say your videos are the most enjoyable on TH-cam by far!! From the genuine no bs storytelling, plus the awesome fun loving characters in the “staged” bits. Keep the vids coming 🙏
I feel it’s always good to wear hunters orange during the winter in the wild where you’re located. Especially during hunting season of any kind. If nothing else, the hat. You can never go wrong. Great camping ! I think the best part of your camping experiences is that you always manage to have fun. You bring us along like we’re your best friends. You aren’t afraid to show us both your successes and failures. As for your stove pipe, it’s not always possible, if you start your fire with pine and burn hardwood you’ll cut down on the pitch buildup in your chimney. A buildup can cause a chimney fire. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure!!
Love the editing in this one. Wood chopping came out great. I was half expecting that second sequence to sound like a Christmas carol. Thanks for the video
This videos really excite me and make me relax. Without music, just xander chilling in the woods. It is some kind of therapy. Thank you for this.
Great video! Since I'm into archery myself, the stump shooting part was great. And I agree, there's no feeling like finding comfort in uncomfortable situations, disaster everywhere around you makes that tiny cozy space the most luxurious thing ever...
xander i just wanna say this is probably my third year now watching your videos and i have been struggling a lot these three years but every time i watch you it’s like looking at a mirror of what i could be some day, thank you for making it seem possible for all of us to find peace in happiness in what we do much love man ❤
I hope 2023 brings you more joy and peace than you know how to handle. 🧡
What is it lately with all those comments on yt about personal struggle?
@@fashionskiller do you live on earth?
😊😊😊
Absolutely love your content! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's!!!!!!!!
Xander, I found your channel during a really difficult time in my life earlier this year. Your perseverance, warmth and wacky humour have enriched me beyond words. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Years, brother. I look forward to more videos in 2023!
Hello am so.... Not a out door type person I have a thing about me hands but I enjoy watching these type of videos they are interesting and you're you talk and keep the interests going my grandson started camping and so... Helpful your videos have become thank you he keeps asking me to come because I give him tips lol lol
I have to say that was one of the best montages of processing firewood I have seen. It made me want to not skip over watching as usually nothing is less riveting then watching someone cut every piece of wood in real time only to follow it up with splitting every piece as well. BRAVO and Happy Holidays.
Such a freaking awesome video. Those burgers looked absolutely amazing, and the fridge clip made me wake up my neighbors from laughing so hard.
By the way, that noise you heard around 10:10 was a Barred Owl. Camping near Mt Saint Helens about six years ago, I heard two of the buggers hooting and howling up a storm near camp. I swore it was a pair of monkeys having an argument, but I later found out they were Barred Owls. Freaky-sounding creatures!
This comment is way too far down
100% We had a bunch of Barred owls when camping up in Killarney. They make the craziest sounds.
I absolutely LOVE your wood chopping montages. Never change!
I can really see the good progress your doing in terms of archery! I would love to follow your journey in archery! So keep us updated and keep up the good work Xander!🙌
Merry Christmas Xander! Thank you for these videos, which are always incredible and amazing. Never stop.
Nice one buddy! Holy sheet I never thought about cleaning creosote out of those infernal pipes. That tent looks annoyingly good in thumbnails
Hay get off this channel you have your own. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
@@steve8421 😜 Merry Christmas!
Honestly usually its pretty easy - no idea why its all caked on
Love your winter camping videos! So peaceful. And yes, we DO love onions on this channel.
I love the speed chopping montage and that you can see the fire inside the stove…so relaxing!
Always a pleasure to watch your adventures. Keep ‘em coming in the new year. Thanks for all the videos in ‘22
Christmas Eve with a fresh Xander video! Merry Christmas man! Keep on doing what you do best, inspiring folks around the world! Peace!
Xander, you make places so cozy no matter where you are at!
Great job on food prep.
Merry Christmas and the best of the coming new year 🎉.
Love that you are combining hunting and traveling!
we need people like you because without them world would be a empty sad place i wish you the best !
Hot tip to clean the stove: do a clean hard wood burn at high temps (no tent!) and keep an eye on it. It'll clean everything - even your windows.
Always better to burn hard wood in these little titanium stoves, when you can. Loved this adventure - beautiful scenery!
Do you know the name of this stove? It looks ace.
@@josephblackhall T-brick by Pomoly. They have 40+ models of titanium stoves - all of them great.
I’ve discovered you recently and I can’t get enough of you. You’re so humble and positive, I could fall asleep to these videos every night
Thanks for bringing us along , great camping trip for sure , love the chopping wood parts.
Not since Robert Rodriguez's Desperado has there been such taut action editing. Those wood chops! Shivers down my spine!
You nailed the wood chopping sequences. Was great to see it in 10x speed. Sneaking the wood under the edge of the tent also looked nice. I know in heavy winter weather you would have to shovel snow over the bottom edges of the tent. Anyway was fun to watch. Oh and I am now hungry for some real Canadian bacon and those to die for burgers! Wonderful looking food.
Marry Christmas from Germany to you Xander - love your style (camping/video editing/and so on...) Stay like you are my friend ✌️😃👍
Thank you for being you Xander….merry Christmas and May 2023 be blessed and amazing for you. Love your videos!
Very enjoyable video. I really appreciate being taken along on your spectacular adventures.
Xander's videos are the one consistent thing I look forward to on youtube! Thank you for putting out this content and have a merry christmas!
Thanks for the Christmas gift Xander! Great video as always, love you man
Your channel is 100% my go-to for inspiration, great character engagement and GREAT videography! My son n' law is a videographer in N.Y.C. and he's 32 yrs old...he loves what he does and your 'angle' of doing the outdoor thing is so badass.
I love that you've brought back the cooking. Was always one of my favourite things about the channel 💪
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! The nice thing about being in the woods in winter it's so quiet and peaceful. It is a bit wet and messy. A suggestion on your tent, I have a similar tent, When there is snow I pitch it between 2 trees with a ridge pole tied to the trees and tie the tent to the pole. This prevents the tent from sagging. sometimes I'll carry an extra Nylon tarp to use as a rain fly over the ridge pole. Also, the hunter orange thing, that depends on where U are and the regulations for your area. It should all be online. Thanks for all U do!! God Bless!! Merry Christmas!!!
Yooo, im from Oklahoma too! I'm in Tulsa!
These videos are truly my happy place, they allow me to escape for a short amount of time and switch off which I typically find impossible. Happy Christmas Xander, and thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I really enjoy your adventures. I especially enjoy your choice of background music for your drone views. Very haunting and a great feeling of quiet and aloness. Keep it all up!
So what do you have for me, Xander?
I was going to fly over to Canada from South Africa to go camping with you Xander but when you pulled that syrup stunt I decided to cancel my ticket.
love the editing, love the commentary, love the humble and wholesomeness, love the journey you're taking us on! Merry Christmas Xander!
Xander you have set such a great example and are such an inspiration to all. So many people need to get out an enjoy the beautiful forest, refresh the soul, have fun, explore nature and feel the energy of the trees and surroundings. You show how simplistic it can be without a lot of fancy do-dads. And of course always add some great humor. Thank you and Happy Holidays. Stay safe out there. Blessings
This man really is the GOAT TH-cam Camper/outdoorsmen. Can hold my attention for the length of his videos & a fellow Canadian, Much love Xander!
Epic content Xander! Soothing. Love your outdoor skills. ✌🏼💯👊🏼
If you want to avoid gunking up the chimney in the future try to only use hardwood as fuel. I'm sure you know this, but it also burns a lot slower and hotter in the stove in addition to not covering everything in thick resin. (and yeah, easier said than done, sometimes you have to take what you can get).
For sure, but even in the “near north” in Ontario it’s hard to find deciduous trees (which are generally hardwood)…and even rarer to find a dead one. As you get further north the Boreal forest takes over and it’s practically all coniferous.
I put a beer can in the house fireplace every once in a while....not sure if it's bad for u or not
That won’t help much, as the chimney gunking up not only because of the water in the wood, but because of the moisture in the air. This tinfoil tube creates the dew point inside the chimney in the negative degree and it makes it “gunk”. I would suggest to burn the stove “full throttle” before you pack it up, this makes it less sticky or even dry and “crusty”
@@snoopypeanut8938 I do that aswell as potato peels. Works well
I would suggest ditch the spark arrestor at the top, put one (thick mesh) on the bottom of the pipe where the heat is strong enough to burn off the carbon. And a shorter pipe! Better rolled than Xanders! You want that smoke up and away fast as possible, minimum time in contact with cold pipe walls to condense out tar
One of the responsible youtuber in the camping community... Love from Bengaluru, India 🇮🇳
Hi Xander, really likes your videos. What I like the most is that you are just being yourself and authentic instead of trying to be someone else and put on a big 'show', which I really appreciate, and which is really rare these days, especially on youtube (not to say that your content is also very interesting!)
Merry Christmas, Xander! Thanks for all your great videos.
love the videos man!
Wanted to say that your video skills are improving a lot, and I loves the woodcutting edit.
these videos make me explore some of the few forest the Netherlands has to offer(pushed over my first tree today)
keep it up,
merry christmas.
Xander! Word of warning, the smokey stuff was the creosote dripping back down the chimney onto the stove. Better chimneys on tent stoves over lap so the dripping stays inside and burns up. If you can tuck that chimney inside the collar rather than over the outside it would be better. Great video otherwise!
Don't quote me, but I think the way to get rid of that build up in the chimney is a ripping hot fire before you tear down... It softens it and burns up. Cleaning at home... Not sure what to do... Maybe set it up and theybmake a cleaning log to burn in your home fireplace, maybe would work.
Im planning on bringing a cleaning log out next time
Agree with Brian with regards to the hot fire, but I would say that it has to run hotter through-out your trip (+250). But I also suspect that your flue is way too long and that the some build-up may occur regardless because of cooling. Having said that, I am not sure what the safe minimum distance is between the stove and the tent (I suspect that depends if you go vertical as Xander does or diagonal like Jon of Lost Lakes does).
Loved the video Xander! Snow camping + stove 😍. Can’t wait for more! Also the burgers looked phenomenal
Great video 👍🏻 always look forward to new one’s coming out. Good to see you bringing hunting into them now to
Another great solo adventure! Enjoyed the axe edits very much, and the burgers looked amazing. Thanks for bringing us along and happy holidays to you. Here's to more adventures in 2023!
I love your vids!!!
this is one of the best camping,survivalist channels on youtube with a touch of humor, keep doing what you are doing xander
Outdoor boys is a fun one as well
The mic setup with the log cutting is so satisfying, sound got a real punch to it.
great atmosphere, fantastic adventure and great editing (all the wood chopping is so satisyfing!!). Love it Xander. Merry christmas.
Wow Xander~ I'm so very very happy to see you in the tent and stove. You did a great job this year. I will send my thanks in advance next year. Keep going safely. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ~!
Ps. Your wearing goggles and chopping firewood was very hot lol
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful year 2023.
Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas Xander.
Since you're sledding most of your gear, your custom tent setup requires custom length stovepipe readily available at your local hardware stove. Don't collapse the stove and put the pipe sections inside the stove. Buy a bag to cover. Your length of pipe allowed cooling and caused a lot of the creocote to condense. When in the bush during rifle hunting season always wear something orange. A woman was shot and killed in some state game lands near me while hiking around a lake. The hunter did not see her.
What a beautiful spot, and you certainly do it justice with your photographic skill. Hey Xander, I wear orange during hunting season and I don't hunt. Merry Christmas, and thanks!
Merry Christmas Xander! Looking forward to your February journey. Great work, blessings
I really enjoy these videos. As a woodsman myself i find your videos much more realistic than many others
The way your videos are edited, the incredible authentic cinematographic shots makes it looks like better than movies. Appreciate it. ♥️ #SUBSCRIBED
Its great to see you camping in the cold with that wood stove and that new tent. You have always seem to camp without the stove and Im glade your FINALY using a stove. Your moving up
Can't wait to up my winter camping with a heated tent! Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas!
Am I the only one that absolutely loved the journey that woodcutting stump went on? lol. By the end of the video, many a log had been chopped upon it, sculpting it. Another awesome vid!
Still my fav thing to watch in the morning. Puts me in a positive vibe
Your video clips of preparing the food in your kitchen was hilarious. I love you literally kicking the food into the fridge. As always, incredible videos and so relaxing to watch. Thank you for the hard work. God Bless You.
One of the best presents to receive during this Christmas season is a notification that Xander just uploaded a new video. Merry Christmas!
Ever since I stumbled across your TH-cam last week, I've been binge watching all your videos. Not too much talking, great adventures, beautiful scenery, hilarious moments ('Gustavo' was the first video I saw)! Gain knowledge, too. The serious moments of reflection and of appreciation. And... you're very easy on the eyes. Love watching you chop wood! sorry, not sorry. Lol😊 Thanks for all the hard work you put into creating these. Loving them!
Merry Christmas, Xander! Love your work!
Another great video Xander, it’s been a pleasure being part of your community again this year. All the best pal, hope you and the family have a great Christmas.
Looked very cozy ,Xander !! 🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄⛄
Such a satisfying sound hearing that would getting chopped in such an empty cast forest, really echoes. Just love it. Great video btw 👍🏻
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you Xander and your family 🎉.
Fantastic. Missed a little Xandy Skit at the beginning, but guess we can't expect them every time. Neat spot.
I love how enthusiastic you are in every video. Even if something goes wrong. It's great. And that poor chopping log lol
Merry Christmas Xander, thanks for all the entertainment this year.
Thanks for sharing. Excellent video. Long bow is cool.😊
i realy love your winter camping. they are the best i am really excited every year for them ❤️
Thank you for your videos Xander!
Xander, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to you and your family! I wish you nothing but good health and happiness in the coming year and big thanks for all the entertaining content Bud!
The wood chop edit was just epic ! Brilliant film Sir, Rab 👌
Merry Christmas. Love your vids. Rock on!
Damn man. Killer edits on wood chopping. Your videos are so soothing to watch. Makes me jealous everytime.
Me laying in bed watching him laying in bed watching outdoor exploring and camping videos 😅 priceless 👌
I LOVE the meal you made on this video... Tabasco is amazing. Awesome video!
I love the editting of the firewood prepping
Love how you edit your wood processing!
Thanks, Xander. Pretty cool. Merry Christmas!🙂👍🎄🎅🤶
