Hope you all can forgive me for being misleading. But if you do find it in your heart to forgive, could you also recommend to me some food I should cook on my next "Solo" outing.
I would love to see how you prepare for a longer journey with dehydration of ingredients and choosing certain foods for specific meals. As for the next camping food, perhaps some nice flatbreads and roasted vegetables. Catching and preparing fish is always a favorite!
I think it’s hard for people to comprehend that when you film yourself solo camping, all the shots of you walking away from the camera means you have to come back for the camera. All the shots of you walking towards the camera means you left camera ahead of you and walked towards it. The work it takes to film might seem impractical to people which is why they have a hard time believing. But I love your videos and I appreciate the effort you put in them. I think when it comes to food ideas, carne asada tacos would be great idea. You can marinate beef and bring soft taco tortillas with few fresh veggies like onions it’ll taste great and be easy to make.
It’s a bit sad that 90% of people and your followers do not understand or appreciate how much effort you put in to make these videos, for example getting out of the kayak at an island, setting up the camera, going back out to the water and coming back to the island, just because to get the shot, let alone all the various angles of walking and etc. guys this stuff takes time , appreciate it. Good job bro! Hope to meet you one day!
Dude, you’re an absolute legend! Must be a blast to hang out with.. Recently discovered your channel and been binge watching the last few days to catch up. Love your personality and how you’ve come to show your zany, fun loving side through your many amazing trips. Like the solo trips but fave so far was the 12 day canoe trip with your buddy who’s got his own channel. You two had such amazing chemistry, many lol moments. Thank you for doing what you do and inspiring others to enjoy the great outdoors! All the best out there!!
Ohh wow, Hey Fraser! I feel super honored to see your comment here! I watch/listen to literally everything you put out! I've been a huge fan for a few years now and I listen to the podcast version of your show and astronomy cast when I'm driving out on my trips or at night in my tent! I was actually listening to one of your question shows when I was going to bed on this trip! I've introduced my brother's to your channel and they love your stuff too! You made my day!
People don't appreciate the skills that go into your camera work and editing Xander. Multitalented! From a film and vfx background even I can appreciate the little bits of audio in this video that overlap the speech to give that natural feel between cuts It's all about the little things
Gustavo does GREAT work. Here I was thinking you had to run ahead to set up cameras and then run back for them. I bet he even edits for you! What a great guy.
I can't believe people were stupid enough to ask this lmao. It's why I appreciate all the bushcraft TH-camrs. Not only the skills on display in the videos but the different cinematography styles also make each content creator unique. I imagine it must take a lot of work and that's even before we get to editing the video.
I thought exactly the same. Why are people dumb enough to ask stupid questions. I expect it's quite hard work to get the shot and then have to walk all the way back and get the camara. Just stop and think people before you ask stupid questions
End of 2024 here, been following for couple of months. Just when I think I couldn’t love you more, YT shows me this video. LOL many times. You are a gem young man. Thanks for living and sharing. 😊
This is why Xander is the best camping videographer on the platform. Absolutely roasts his viewers and at the same time releases an elegant MASTERPIECE. Well done Gustavo.
Honestly no other channel is bringing me as much joy as this one, it is an absolute gem. It's a genuine honour to watch Xander grow and improve his filmmaking and content and explore the more comedic sketch like videos like this one, one of the very few channels where I never want to miss a video. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Mr Budnick!
Looooooool!! Full on cackle laughs. Gotta be your best skit yet and that's saying a lot. I was wondering how you got that last shot without the clouds shifting...dissolve was so subtle, well done sir. I know you said we won't see Gus again, but if you change your mind I'd love to get to know him better.
He said we would never see him again…but then we did. It’s like the end of a 007 movie when the villain pushes his hand up through all the rubble of the explosion that was supposed to have killed him. Next video… “Gustavo’s Revenge”
You've hit on a real philosophical issue there. How can the modest, unsassuming, self-effacing Xander you 'lived' with for two weeks have an alter ego, when there's little or no ego there in the first place? Riddle me that one ...
As a newbie to your channel I was actually in awe of the effort you must go to in order to capture such great footage. It’s a real testament to your efforts that people believe you have a crew following you. When my wife sat down to watch with me she actually asked “I wonder if he edits his own footage” due to how punchy it is (crisp/concise). Love your channel, keep up the great work!
From the beginning, I understood how much work actually goes into some of the shots you get. You have to land, set up the camera, leave, then re-land every time you have a shot of you approaching a shoreline. Every shot of you passing a spot on the water means you set the shot up in advance, floated by, and then went back for the camera. I hope you're laughing at these geniuses and their lack of common sense and forethought like I am. Your channel is awesome, and I've never once doubted that your solo trips are genuine.
this is incredible, made me laugh out loud! hope we get to see an occasionally Gustavo cameo every now and then. thanks for all the hard work (and humor!) you put into these next-level videos!
I heard this saying " a critical person will criticize a turtle for over speeding". Your content is enjoyable buddy. So critical they refuse to use their brain to think
Just shows all the time and effort put into making the shots look so good means people think it can't be done alone! definitely take it as a compliment.
you responded in the most xander way possible and i couldn’t stop laughing. hopefully we can get a gustavo solo trip. really liked his personality and passion.
Im year or too behind on the videos compared to most, having just come across your channel... As a Brit this has had me in stitches, real belly laughter... I cannot get my ahead around you having to explain this to people! Long Live Gustavo !!
From the first video I watched. I then realized the filming all by himself and total hardworks! Others can't comprehend that but anyway I appreciate how much effort you put in every vlogs you did.
This was hilarious. I hope we see more from gustavo in the future. It is crazy to think that this video series started in the snow and we are already back full circle to winter again. I am excited to potentially see more sledding.
I’ve been watching your channel for years but I’ve never commented. As always I love your sense of humour! Mixed with beautiful relaxing shots it makes for my kind of video. Definitely helps get me through the times I can’t be out there myself. Thanks for making amazing content!
As a tiny outdoors TH-cam channel, I can confirm I also get these comments. My favourite ones are “Why would you make that when you could buy it for $25 LOL”. Kind of defeats the purpose of fixing something if you buy a new one 🙃
"And for the aerial shots, we just strap a bunch of helium balloons to Gustavo and hope for a favorable wind..." :D This episode was hilarious.. Hard to believe people are really this dense.
This video was hilarious, I bet you had fun doing this one. It is funny to me how many people who are not content creators seem to think we have camera people with us or that we leave our camera every "walk away shot" One of my co-workers asked me how many cameras I buy every year to replace the ones I leave behind. 🙄 Thanks for this very entertaining video......I hope Gustavo makes it home......Take care, Bluefin.
Videographing solo adventures is done for the viewer - it takes a lot away from being able to enjoy your surroundings and being present if you constantly think about performing to an invisible audience. That's why I always appreciate people sharing their adventures through video, it would be so much easier for them not to.
This is so true. As I started doin more solo adventures I realized I hardly got chances to live in the moment. But sharing my trips with everyone is well worth it.
In the first cooking scene, I thought there were 2 people. The amount of food per meal was 3 servings in my standard. Haha When I saw Xander eat all that food, I cried out Life is tough!!! The name of a beautiful man who is sincere and tries hard is Xander Budnick.
I love the stillness of the water, like a mirror! A little fog rolling in, coffee in hand, heaven!! Best of luck to you, thank you for including us in your adventures!!
Gustavo's scenery and drone shots are really coming along! Great work Gus! Xander you could probably learn a thing or 2 about improving your craft from him.
Until I read the comments on the vlog asking if you were actually solo on your adventures I thought people were reasonably bright.....oh dear...!!?? Great channel Xander.. appreciate all the efforts you go to for us.
In every XB video, without fail there is a shot that makes me think "it must haven taken forever to set up and backtrack". We appreciate the effort! That Gustavo looks kinda sus tho
Holy crap I lmao!! Have to keep rewinding because I'm laughing so much I can't hear the next part. I really appreciate all the time it takes to set up those shots. Quite surprized at all the people who don't understand editing . Glad to hear Gustovo is on bear patrol at night
Hey man I’m sure you’ve gotten this already, but take them saying that as a compliment. Can I just say that your edits, angles, sense of humor, etc. is the reason you’re the only camping outdoorsy TH-camrs I like and you inspire me to go outside and do something!
Hey dude loving the videos and the food you make. Just wanted to give you a friendly tip, as healthy as Olive oil is, it has to be used at medium to low heat. Otherwise the good fats turn into something that is not heart healthy. Keep up the great videos!
Being late to the party, I enjoyed how you answered to people, who cannot see the difference between a stationary camera and a moving one. And of course they also missed the amazing editing you put into these videos.
Hello! I really love these videos. I am extremely stressed out over college applications and getting my homework done, so these videos are a great way for me to relax. I am a senior in HS, 17, and I have spent most of my life on the internet. I am most likely going to college in the city, so between me being on the internet at home and being in the city for college, I want to explore nature a little bit before I go away. Since I don't have the time right now, I love watching these videos instead. I really appreciate the work you put into these videos! Thank you!
You are clever sir. I love the Gustavo act, just brilliant!! I've been watching your channel for a short time now but I subscribed about 3 minutes into the first video. I don't know how so many people are stupid enough to think you cant film your own stuff. Whats worse is the fact that they care at all. Even if you did have a camera man who cares the content is still the same. Thanks for all of your hard work Gustavo.
The intro had me laughing so hard! It is amazing how ignorance is so easily attainable. Wonderful way to handle it though through humor. Thanks for the excellent content and all the work you (and other "adventure" channels) put into filming said excellent content. The brussel sprouts and sausage looked delicious!!
I have binged about 4 hours worth of your videos today Xander, brilliant and better than any netflix show/series. All I can say is thank you and please keep it up, absolutely love it.
First 30 second I knew this was a corker…. Sense of humour and wit goes along way. Thank you for all the hard work you and “Gustavo” puts in and the editor too. 👊🏽👍🏽✌🏽 Edit: The ending was perfect 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite channel. Just great stuff. Been watching since day one. It has been awesome to see your development as not only an incredible creator but your personal development as well. Getting more comfortable and with that comfort it really shows your outdoors skills. No puff. Just cool stuff! That is your channel. Just incredible.
This is hilarious 😄 I get accused of not actually being alone too.. I always assumed its because I'm female, so it's interesting that you get it too. Great video :) your filming is gorgeous and your wild places are so beautiful
You should upload a video where you dont cut out setting up and retrieving the camera so all these doubters learn how much work you put into your amazing videos!
The fact you even had to explain yourself is hilarious enough. Let alone "Gustavo," lol!! Some people really are just plain dumb, glad you made a huge joke about it 🤣✌
Anyone who doesn't understand what's going on hasn't watched enough camping videos and have NO appreciation of hat it takes to produce high quality camping videos like you and so many others. After all it's not easy finding your own "Gustavo".
Imagine questioning this :'D I remember back watching Lars Monsen and his journey to cross Canada and he filmed walking away from the camera all the time, such dedication to create great content. (He used almost 3 years on his expidition). That shot at 07:10, love it.
Wow I have never watched a single video of yours before this but this was amazing! I loved every second of this "solo" adventure, you've earned my sub!
OK, THIS made me subscribe. I was showing my wife why I liked your channel with you and your candid shots and honest remarks too about .... fools. I am not a person who looks for or creates problems but I do appreciate those that stand by their beliefs and experience.. Bravo.. Yes, I see and know the experiences, been there done that. will be back. Thumbs up...
The first time I saw you was with Jon, Lost Lakes. I'm getting bored at home so I've been stalking your videos. Thanks for a good look into a quick solo trip. I solo camp but not as out of civilization as you. My friends have no concept of what it means to be without electricity and/or a bathroom. Of course they are older women who are hotel people. I can't talk about my adventures or show them how much time alone in nature is the best. Their loss. Fun video.
You. Sir. Are. Amazing. And I for one appreciate all the hard work that goes into the creation of your videos. I can only imagine how much work it is. Thank you for all you do and your videos. And on top of all that you are hilarious.
Don’t worry Xander we forgive you! 😉 I 100% appreciate the amount of setting up and walking you must have to pet video for each and every shot! Loved the concept of this video 👌🏼😂
Hahahaha! I just started following you after watching your initial trip with Jon on Lost Lakes and I'm so glad. I look forward to discovering more of Gustavo's mad skills, you are so lucky to have him! 😂
Xander, recently discovered your channel. I'm in Eastern Ontario and frequent hwy 60 thru the Park on my way to Muskoka. I've always wondered what it would be like to backcountry camp in Algonquin. After seeing some of your vids, I just may have to ditch my weekend boats, beer, and beaches in favor of some kindling, homemade sausages and a tarp.
Just going back over older videos - early winter boredom. This one is a classic. I'm surprised you haven't been hauled up on the carpet of the Labor Board for Gustavo's treatment.
Hope you all can forgive me for being misleading. But if you do find it in your heart to forgive, could you also recommend to me some food I should cook on my next "Solo" outing.
Try testing out different field rations from military if you are able to buy!
Pancakes!
More bacon, your breakfasts always look amazing .. and something for the poor camera guy #iknewit
I would love to see how you prepare for a longer journey with dehydration of ingredients and choosing certain foods for specific meals.
As for the next camping food, perhaps some nice flatbreads and roasted vegetables. Catching and preparing fish is always a favorite!
Carne Asada Tacos with white onions and cilantro. Marinate the beef beforehand. And use corn tortillas. Easy but delicious.
it blows my mind so many people didn't know a tripod exist.
Exactly 😃
Tripod? Whats that?
Tripod? Whats that?
It truly is shocking and scary
We have to drive on the same roads with these people
@@gielshon9076 you know when you open up a pea pod and there is 3 peas inside, that's a tripod...
Gotta love when Gustovo puts on his jetpack and flies around to take scenic footage for you
I laughed so hard! Best comment on this video hands down ROFL.
@@mr3817 Thanks! i tried haha
Jetpack? They just use a pine tree catapult. Gustavo is the MVP. Most valuable piece of gear
@@charlottegoldman3580 YES! Epic!!!
Some say Gustavo has wings. Not using drone. Oops. Sorry for spilling that out.They will never know for sure.
I think it’s hard for people to comprehend that when you film yourself solo camping, all the shots of you walking away from the camera means you have to come back for the camera.

I think when it comes to food ideas, carne asada tacos would be great idea. You can marinate beef and bring soft taco tortillas with few fresh veggies like onions it’ll taste great and be easy to make.
i agree! filming yourself back and forth with different angle is HARD, but not IMPOSSIBLE.
@@d4ny3l.gonzales absolutely right!!
Preach.
Some people just have that much limit to comprehension. Their mind cannot grasp the idea of a tripod. lolxD.
that's why this guy's videos are so impressive, because of the work that goes on to create them
It’s a bit sad that 90% of people and your followers do not understand or appreciate how much effort you put in to make these videos, for example getting out of the kayak at an island, setting up the camera, going back out to the water and coming back to the island, just because to get the shot, let alone all the various angles of walking and etc. guys this stuff takes time , appreciate it. Good job bro! Hope to meet you one day!
I feel like 90% do.. it's just the very vocal 10% that you hear from.. as always

Entertaining 👍but for those with a conscious, Fenix lights are made in China
At least people aren't accusing you of always using a greenscreen when you're standing out in the Canadian wilderness.
Ohh wow, Hey Fraser! I feel super honored to see your comment here! I watch/listen to literally everything you put out! I've been a huge fan for a few years now and I listen to the podcast version of your show and astronomy cast when I'm driving out on my trips or at night in my tent! I was actually listening to one of your question shows when I was going to bed on this trip! I've introduced my brother's to your channel and they love your stuff too! You made my day!
I just always assume he's camping in his backyard
I never thought of that, so it could have been a green screen all this time OMG...😳😱😱
@@Alex-nr4xb well it technically is..
It's you Fraser the spcaeman
I'm glad we share a common interest
I for one always appreciated just how much time and effort goes into setting the cameras and stuff.
yeah, gustavo is underrated
the solo camping is not hard to believe. the filming of, editing and presenting it all in new and interesting ways, so much work!
People don't appreciate the skills that go into your camera work and editing Xander. Multitalented! From a film and vfx background even I can appreciate the little bits of audio in this video that overlap the speech to give that natural feel between cuts It's all about the little things
Editing basics lol
@@dikkevogel9970 Exactly its basics for someone who knows what they are doing. Just wanted to say a lot of people just take good editing for granted.
That’s because Gustavo does that.
Gustavo does GREAT work. Here I was thinking you had to run ahead to set up cameras and then run back for them. I bet he even edits for you! What a great guy.
He can also fly. I suppose you thought the aerial shots were from a drone.
wonder if i can get one on ebay
3:43 seems like gustavo doesn't even shy away from hovering in the air to catch some great footage
Gustavos built for air land and water footage! 🤣
I can't believe people were stupid enough to ask this lmao. It's why I appreciate all the bushcraft TH-camrs. Not only the skills on display in the videos but the different cinematography styles also make each content creator unique. I imagine it must take a lot of work and that's even before we get to editing the video.
Unfortunately, people really are stupid.
Yeah some people are just extremely stupid
Agreed. I can’t even believe some of them were actually being serious. 💀💀
I thought exactly the same. Why are people dumb enough to ask stupid questions. I expect it's quite hard work to get the shot and then have to walk all the way back and get the camara. Just stop and think people before you ask stupid questions
Believe it or not, it actually becomes quite effortless when you truly love what you’re doing!
Gustavo! It all makes sense now. He sure does have steady hands.
End of 2024 here, been following for couple of months. Just when I think I couldn’t love you more, YT shows me this video. LOL many times. You are a gem young man. Thanks for living and sharing. 😊

Love your videos Xander!
you responded in the most xander way possible and i couldn’t stop laughing. hopefully we can get a gustavo solo trip. really liked his personality and passion.
or his five to ten days trip home 🙂

Nicely said
In the first cooking scene, I thought there were 2 people. The amount of food per meal was 3 servings in my standard. Haha When I saw Xander eat all that food, I cried out Life is tough!!! The name of a beautiful man who is sincere and tries hard is Xander Budnick.
Personally, I don't see why this video isn't bigger and more well known. PURE GOOOLLLD!
I love the stillness of the water, like a mirror! A little fog rolling in, coffee in hand, heaven!! Best of luck to you, thank you for including us in your adventures!!
What we didn’t know we needed…
Thank you, Xander & Gustavo for all you do to entertain & educate us!
Gustavo's scenery and drone shots are really coming along! Great work Gus! Xander you could probably learn a thing or 2 about improving your craft from him.
Until I read the comments on the vlog asking if you were actually solo on your adventures I thought people were reasonably bright.....oh dear...!!?? Great channel Xander.. appreciate all the efforts you go to for us.
The man is doing his great job sharing to us his adventure when even myself could not do. I am so thankful. Much respect to Xander. Keep it up.
Love Gustavo’s intro !!!!! Seems like my kind of friend. He should make surprise appearances every once in a while. Love your videos! Keep it up!
In every XB video, without fail there is a shot that makes me think "it must haven taken forever to set up and backtrack". We appreciate the effort!
That Gustavo looks kinda sus tho
Holy crap I lmao!! Have to keep rewinding because I'm laughing so much I can't hear the next part. I really appreciate all the time it takes to set up those shots. Quite surprized at all the people who don't understand editing . Glad to hear Gustovo is on bear patrol at night
Hey man I’m sure you’ve gotten this already, but take them saying that as a compliment. Can I just say that your edits, angles, sense of humor, etc. is the reason you’re the only camping outdoorsy TH-camrs I like and you inspire me to go outside and do something!

Wow. Bravo to you dude! This was the most snarky, badass response you could’ve come up with. Love your adventures bud, keep it up!

There are a lot of very negative people in the world and they vote...unfortunately.
Anyone else here for the audio pleasure? Love the audio and the sight and sound of food cooking. And the water running. Omg. The food looks amazing
this is hilarious xD but it also goes to show how much effort you put into filming everything for us :)

First 30 second I knew this was a corker…. Sense of humour and wit goes along way. Thank you for all the hard work you and “Gustavo” puts in and the editor too. 👊🏽👍🏽✌🏽
Edit:
The ending was perfect 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely love your goofy antics... you crack me up!
My favorite channel. Just great stuff. Been watching since day one. It has been awesome to see your development as not only an incredible creator but your personal development as well. Getting more comfortable and with that comfort it really shows your outdoors skills. No puff. Just cool stuff! That is your channel. Just incredible.
This is hilarious 😄 I get accused of not actually being alone too.. I always assumed its because I'm female, so it's interesting that you get it too. Great video :) your filming is gorgeous and your wild places are so beautiful
It seems people just have a hard time understanding that it just takes a bit of effort to film yourself. Seems inconceivable to some :p
You should upload a video where you dont cut out setting up and retrieving the camera so all these doubters learn how much work you put into your amazing videos!
That was probably the best ever Xander! Amazing meals and commentary!!
Hehe thanks Marilyn 🙂
Brilliant 'concept' with your alter Gustovo. A lesson for all of us: 'the ability to transform stress to humor'. ♥
The fact you even had to explain yourself is hilarious enough. Let alone "Gustavo," lol!! Some people really are just plain dumb, glad you made a huge joke about it 🤣✌
Really made me laugh throughout this video😂 I do honestly believe you’re one of the best “outdoors” you tubers out there
Anyone who doesn't understand what's going on hasn't watched enough camping videos and have NO appreciation of hat it takes to produce high quality camping videos like you and so many others. After all it's not easy finding your own "Gustavo".
Imagine questioning this :'D I remember back watching Lars Monsen and his journey to cross Canada and he filmed walking away from the camera all the time, such dedication to create great content. (He used almost 3 years on his expidition). That shot at 07:10, love it.
It's a compliment to your editing that they believe another person is filming at least.
One of the funniest videos l've seen in a while. Love you sense of humor!
Me: Longer videos please!
Others: Longer videos with educational bushcrafting!
Also me: Longer video with Gustavo!
Wow I have never watched a single video of yours before this but this was amazing! I loved every second of this "solo" adventure, you've earned my sub!
"You think this is some sort of democracy!?" LOL you always crack me up man. That breakfast croissant-wich looked heavenly
OK, THIS made me subscribe. I was showing my wife why I liked your channel with you and your candid shots and honest remarks too about .... fools. I am not a person who looks for or creates problems but I do appreciate those that stand by their beliefs and experience.. Bravo.. Yes, I see and know the experiences, been there done that. will be back. Thumbs up...
The first time I saw you was with Jon, Lost Lakes. I'm getting bored at home so I've been stalking your videos. Thanks for a good look into a quick solo trip. I solo camp but not as out of civilization as you. My friends have no concept of what it means to be without electricity and/or a bathroom. Of course they are older women who are hotel people. I can't talk about my adventures or show them how much time alone in nature is the best. Their loss. Fun video.
You. Sir. Are. Amazing. And I for one appreciate all the hard work that goes into the creation of your videos. I can only imagine how much work it is. Thank you for all you do and your videos. And on top of all that you are hilarious.
Don’t worry Xander we forgive you! 😉 I 100% appreciate the amount of setting up and walking you must have to pet video for each and every shot! Loved the concept of this video 👌🏼😂
Hahahaha! I just started following you after watching your initial trip with Jon on Lost Lakes and I'm so glad. I look forward to discovering more of Gustavo's mad skills, you are so lucky to have him! 😂
3:45 I love how gustavo flies a helicopter to get those aerial shots. Really neat! Also explains why you cover up the noise with music
Quickly becoming my new favorite channel! Cheers from Kingston, ONT my friend! Keep them vids comin'!
Man those drone shots were amazing! I thoroughly enjoy these videos and the effort you put into them. Thank you!
this was great and have a great walk
edit : does Gustavo have his own channel for when he is not busy filming your trips?
Xander, recently discovered your channel. I'm in Eastern Ontario and frequent hwy 60 thru the Park on my way to Muskoka. I've always wondered what it would be like to backcountry camp in Algonquin. After seeing some of your vids, I just may have to ditch my weekend boats, beer, and beaches in favor of some kindling, homemade sausages and a tarp.
Just going back over older videos - early winter boredom. This one is a classic. I'm surprised you haven't been hauled up on the carpet of the Labor Board for Gustavo's treatment.
You continue to delight me with your humor.
God bless you.
And Gustov!
i love how Gustavo can also fly as well as do all the other camera work.
This comment drives me nuts. Great video response 😂
Guessing people never heard of a tripod😂
this is actually ridiculously funny. laughed out loud. could be a stand alone comic bit. love it man.
Now that's what you call a one night getaway! Love how he brought delicious food as well.
