I'm a 70 year young woman who is British. I've been watching you for 2 plus year's, I always enjoy all your videos, though I prefer the winter ones. You always make me smile even if that day or days haven't been that good, watching you cooking your epic meals on an open fire with several feet of snow around you is a joy to behol, they always look yummy. Take care cant wait till the next video 🌯🌮🍕🥓🍔🍳🥩🍗🥙🌯🥚🥪🌭🥚🥟🌨❄☃️
Repping for the Brits. 🇬🇧💯
I’m a Brit too, it’s hard to imagine how big the Canadian wilderness is and how much snow they get over there, we get an inch and the country grinds to a halt.
You should check out Haze Outdoors, he’s the closest thing to Xander we in the uk have, he’s funny and does some great hikes and wild camping and loves his cooking
I'll be 69 yrs. old in May, female and live in Ohio, US. I love this channel too. So peaceful and beautiful. I love Xander's adventurous spirit. And I agree...his campfire cooking skills are top notch!
I hope you not them Woke British 😂🤣
@@TonyL2567 I have been watching Haze since before the "Pandemic" I live in his part of the world, he is so funny shouting "Medic" and he has been know to dish up some good food.
So, I don't remember the first video of yours that I watched. Neither how I came across it. By now I have watched many of them and every new one is a source of pure joy. I guess algorithms can really be of great value.
To me you are such a wonderfully authentic, calm, appreciative and fun person. And I have never seen you in person, never spoken to you, never exchanged a written word with you. But when I watch your videos, especially the solo trips, what you see, feel, say and do resonates on a level with me that is rare.
While watching this video I had this thought: Okay I finally need to get in touch with Xander and ask him how many people already asked him whether he offers to take people on a trip with him. That I am the next one to be added to that line of probably aaa lot. And that I even consider flying out from Switzerland to Canada to do so.
But then this one followed up: Flying from Switzerland to Canada and back is going to do so much harm to what I enjoy Xander being around (and myself, too).
So yeah, I guess we might never meet in person. And that's OK. What I really want is this: You to continue on that beautiful path of yours and hopefully also continuing sharing some bits and bobs of those experiences you are having. So, please have a small token of gratitude, appreciation and support.
"Too long, didn't read": Love you, too, man. Have some delicious food and maybe a new piece of equipment on me.
Thank you so much, not sure how I missed this before
That's a lot of money
That was nice!
Pro tip to drying out your boots, put a bunch of drier sheets in your boots. It sucks up the moisture and makes your boots smell good. Ive been in the Army for a number of years and I never leave home without them. You can take a couple packs of drier sheets, put them in a zip lock bag, press out as much air as you can so you can pack them away nicely. Even put that lip locked bag with the drier sheets in with a bunch of other zip lock bags for extra bags for whatever you may need to keep dry later on. Most likely your local surplus store may have wet weather bags for your clothes to keep them dry.
I started watching Xander for more than a year now, and the reason I like him is because I related to his drug addiction videos. He inspired me to also quit drugs and to live a healthy lifestyle. I used to spend a lot of money on drugs, and now I just look forward to spending my money on outdoor equipment and traveling to the outdoors. He's definitely one of my idols 💪
💪💪
@@XanderBudnick helped me also! Xander a true guy! Keep it up man
You don't get enough credit for the walking back you do just for the sake of shots.
Always love seeing you upload. Thanks Xander
Les stroud pioneered this technique. A little credit him as well.
Ever since I learned about this trick I can’t help but keep thinking about it.
I wish I never knew this forbidden knowledge 😂
Even down to him keeping the area in and around the shot clear of footprints/any scars.
Gustavo really does a nice job though
He got his own camera man, there is a video about him 😅
Just got to 10:45, and just wanted to say I love you too bro. As someone who's been struggling with some stuff finding your channel this past year has been one of my most inspiring finds. You inspire me, and hearing your story and the changes you've made in your life im proud of how talented and funny of a creator you are. I wish you nothing but blessings and I hope that the good I see in you, one day I can cultivate in myself. Cheers Xander!
A campfire and the sound of rushing water. Heaven on earth!
🙏🙏🙏👍👍😜🙏
🙏😊🙏😊🙏😊🙏😊🙏
Keep on going bro! I also found Xanders channel years ago when I was struggling, don't give up, it's worth it.
Good on you guys. Keep it up 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The amount of good vibes this guy is radiating is amazing
I live in London and I love these videos. I aspire to live a simpler life.
Xander, your joy and gratitude for the life you have today is beautiful. So happy for you. As a friend of Bill, I love seeing younger people finding their purpose and running with it. Being in the back country changed my life. Can't imagine not experiencing it. Amazing video!
Every single time I have watched your video I learned something new. I never heard of snow fleas! I just love watching you.
Hi Xander! This area was just beautiful. I like your vision of turning the forest into a camp, and then back again. That first supper was a "yeah baby!" Thanks for giving me joy.
My wife Deb and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing and taking us along. Cheers!
If this guy only knew how much joy he brings to us all!
Hey Xander, love your videos! I’m disabled and being able to feel as though I’m there with you, playing in the snow is one of the things that I love most about your films. There’s just enough mix of silent moments and casual conversation to make it feel really personal and lovely. Thanks!
Love you too... Pretty sure you're about the same age as my oldest grandson so I look at you through grandma eyes and I'm very proud of all that you're doing and Have overcome. And I love when you quietly sit and share your thoughts with us appreciate it very much. I bless you sweetie! From grandma in Portland Oregon!l
I only recently stumbled across Xander's channel, but I've already watched most of his stuff over the past couple of weeks. I've been getting some crazy writer's block while working on my second book, and I've found that taking a break and watching one of his videos really helps me recharge my creative juices. I think it might be due to the relaxation they induce, or perhaps it's how they take me away from the stresses of my own life - I almost feel like I'm out there in the wilderness for a little while. Anyway, thanks for another great video!
That's how I feel too like I'm out there in the wilderness! 😊😊😊
did you already seeing the mukbang and gustavo videos? 😁
you are now my new favorite outdoor you tuber. Love the sense of humour and you eat like a king whilst out in the wild! Your pack and sled must weigh a ton! Keep up the vids they are amazing.
Great video once again Xander, I wish I was there with you camping .... I love the outdoors .... I did a lot's camping myself in my young days ... But age will change everything ... getting to old I'm now in my 70's and all I can do is remember the great time I had camping with my older brother...... take care ....
One of the many things I like about your videos is that you get out there and do it. Gear isn’t super fancy, and you brave conditions even seasoned campers would shy away from. Thanks for the great content.
what a glorious thud at 4:21, music to my hears.
One of the best locations and winter videos you had so far i absolutely love the location you picked by the river the sounds of nature mixed with the fire crackling is mesmerising
This is my most favorite type of content. A good 2-3 nighter solo with the tarp, good food, and a good fire. Hate that winter is already close to the end!
Always tell my son life is like a roller coaster. That first big hill can be daunting but once you get over it, it's a blast.
Thanks for being real.
Man, your videos always brighten my day up. Thank you for pushing yourself to get out there and film stuff for us, I'm sure you already know how much it impacts us all. Thanks for your effort and I'm sending you hugs.
We love you too. Watching your adventures and seeing you wake up in the morning makes me smile. Thanks for sharing your time with us.
thank you xander! you inspired me to finally get out and do some winter camping out on the bruce peninsula this weekend. It was a wonderful trip and exactly what I needed. I related a lot to your internal dialogue about whether its even something you enjoy. Enjoyment is only part of it, and if we focus on that it becomes unclear why we do this. Be well
Thats awesome my man
I’m a 62 year young woman in Tucson Arizona I’m blind but I listen to all your stuff I’ve been listening for over a year I really enjoy your personality and our adventures!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I fall asleep listening to his videos. The sounds are great.
It’s the middle of winter here in Australia and your videos are just what is needed to give me that sense of comfort and warmth
I'm a simple girl, I see Xander *and* cheese? I click.
Not a girl but I agree
Not a girl but I agree
Not a human but I agree
I am cheese
My pronoun is ‘Aged’ lol
Love you too brother. Keep inspiring. Someone who admires you from India.
Another video so soon? Have I died and gone to heaven? Dude I love you too. I loved your last video. This is so great. Your videos are awesome. Times are so hard right now, my best friend was in a car accident and seriously hurt. Bills are stacking up. I know a lot of people in debt and struggling. I guess I am happy for my health and my family. And most of all for your videos which help me escape sometimes and get out in nature even if I can't do it myself. Thanks Xander!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
cool to know someone else has otters as their favorite animal!
Your videos always inspire me to get out and explore deeper into the nature around me and take more chances with pushing my comfort zone. Thank you!
I love otters too, probably my favorite thing to run into in the bush. Another really nice video Xander.
Always love having a beer after work and watching your stuff Xander!
That meal just got real!! Love the snow scene shots especially the flowing water.
What a beautiful spot!
Tks for the inspiration Tks for the snow fleas education.Mostly. 😳 the river side must have been so relaxing, a favourite of mine for sure. 😊
Incredible again, Xander! Thank you for all these adventures it's the highlight of my day, every upload. 🌲🗻⛺❣️
Thanks Xander. You’re a great inspiration. Keep going love your videos.😊
Been waiting for these Solos to come back… keep the content coming
New subscriber here. Just discovered Xander after watching the video with him and Jon of Lost Lakes UA-cam channel. Been binge watching so many of these awesome outdoorsmen and women and their UA-cam channels. What a blessing to have been exposed to this awesome outdoor community and way of life. 😊
You rock as always. I’m really glad you’re back at the solo winter tarp camping which are my favorites. Happy you felt energized by it again. Something about your solo journeys l feel we feel we get more Xander insights, humor, videography, and cooking. Go otters! Go calzones! Pass on the hot cedar flea cocoa 😅 Thanks!!
Sitting and catching up on the ones I’ve missed. Xander you are so much fun. Thank you for taking me places I would not get to see otherwise. Love your videos. Love you too ❤
I was winter camping at a similar type of spot. 28 miles from my jeep by snowmobile,slipped and fell and broke my arm. Crazy thing is that I would go again. So quiet at night in the winter. Go well prepared on a trip like this. And have a way to communicate with others. Awesome videos bud
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Xander camping videos are awesome, Thanks for sharing the lovely and hilarious content for retrieving the drone, those drones shots from high above are breath taking, Dont have any expectations and face the challenges that life puts in front of you, Good lesson
This man is making content that I’m sure a lot of us (myself included) absolutely love. Great channel☮❤
And we love you to Xander! I'm so glad of how far you've come! You're funny and hilarious!
I honestly love your videos they are so relaxing an fun to watch i always watch them at night they put me to sleep thank you for making such amazing content you’re one of my favourite youtubers to watch 😄
I like your video angles & your attitude about cold weather. Thanks for sharing this trip. Good stuff!
Masterchef Backcountry. Xander for the win! Your work to get these videos to your viewers is just excellent. Thank you.
Xander cooks better outdoors than me at home
Bro i swear, watching these high asf at night hits different
Drugs are dumb . BRO
I stop everything for a Xander Budnick production! He is like a young Deeks from NCIS LA. Xander always hits it out of the park!
So glad you took us along!! The otters are amazing creatures. Not sure how you stay so warm in those frigid temperatures.
Thanks!
Thank you 😊
Bro just go and apologize to her
😅😅
No!
😂😂😂😂😂
Hell no
Very original btw
Your meals always turn out well for you glad you enjoyed your time.
I love the winter videos the best. Thanks for making them, man!
Appreciate how quickly you get these videos out...every few days it seems I have a multiple day trip to watch. Love it. Keep it coming my friend.
Love you right back!! Your videos make me smile, and for a few moments nothing else matters. Thanks for taking us along. Your dinners looked so yummy.
I really love your little humerus videos and your camera work on the treks
Wow I have goose bumps on goose bumps, all I need now is a toasted cheese sandwich and to finish watching Xanders video. Xander you are the best fire bug on the planet, I’ve warmed up already. 😊🔥🥪
Well, that just made me miss winter!! It's my favorite time to tarp camp. Loved your first spot! I could have stayed there for days!
Love watching your videos, you make me smile even on a bad day!! Your such a beautiful person inside and out! I love watching you cook your food and better yet watching you enjoy it,lol. God Bless! 😊
Hi Xander, I Love you 2. I started watching you 2 years ago after I lost my Son, he has the same hands and eyes along with the smile. He also was quirky like you and always outdoors camping. I always look forward to when you wake up and say good morning. Keep going, I hope if I am up in Canada, which I Live close too, I run into to you to say hi. Keep Going, Kazie
Love you too my friend from the other side of the world. Greetings from Germany.... stay happy. Peace
Love you too! I'm proud of you and all you have accomplished! You're an inspiration to many!
You are literally my fave UA-camr to watch for general knowledge, entertainment or soothing nighttime content but the otter comment solidifies it for me. My family is based all around Canada whilst I’m UK so you’re videos make feel at home 🫶🏻
Thank you for the excellence you portray, you’re obviously tied closely to mother nature! And I think your Power Animal is an otter! You’re perfect for the part; happy, playful, alert, inquisitive and living in the present! Love watching your videos; stay well, Be well!
Awesome couple nights out Xander. Those otters were definitely special. A good omen for sure.
Thanks
Nate
Simply put.....I just love all your treks and experiences. Been doing a bit of this myself this year as we have been pounded with snow in the Sierras......Thank you Xander....for such quality stuff.
Xander, just wanted to thank you for sharing your experiences with us, and always being your silly and wholesome self!❤The combination of beautiful nature, quiet moments to reflect and goofing around makes it a pleasure to watch always. We love you as well! I went to a local aquarium a year ago in my city, and they had Otters as well, lovely to see them play.
Otters are my favorite too. Baby otters to be specific. So freaking adorable!
I think this is one of your best videos: possibly my favourite. Wish I had been there, but it makes me really happy and content watching you there!
I have watched lot of your videos and love your winter camping for 2 reasons
1 u made winter camping (snow, fire , sleeping out so cool)
2 get lot of good recipes and imagination
believe it or not your calzone technique gave me idea how to make calzone at home. another is potato in fire with cheese and spring onion. Lot of other recipes too my favorite .
Great chanel
Do your magic Zander!
I just started watching you for over a week now. Every night. I love your videos, your silly but smart. I am learning how you do this.
Watching your winter videos is literally ASMR to me. It's the only way I sleep🙏🏾💯
I think you got Drunk with the Nachos...🙃🙃😨😵😵😵
Lol
😂😂😂
You're so funny, Xander ! 😂😂💕💕💕
That is an absolutely beautiful spot. Thanks for getting out so quick and soon appreciate it. Take good care of yourself and God-bless you!
Really nice job man and to dry up your boots like that good work
You liking otters so much and you seeing otters out camping is no coincidence. Its the man upstairs making You happy and enjoying life the way life is supposed to be enjoyeed
Hey Xander, I just wanted to let you know I love you too buddy! Never change and please keep making these wonderful videos of yours. 🤗
Such a genuine person. Happy for you man!
I love your videos because I love backpacking. However, I am fighting Stage 4 Colon Cancer and I have chemo/fluid infusions 3x per week, so getting out on trail is not possible right now. Your videos keep the dream alive. Thank you!
I hope your doing better, friend.
God's blessings your way...
Dude... How does every video of yours just scratch an itch I didn't know I had. Equally as inspiring and entertaining as every other video you've made. Thanks Xander
Love you to brother @10:55
You are an inspiration for me and I'm sure many. Just simple and refreshing.
great trip out being there in the moment is always the best reminder of why we do it. It's very cool that you got to spot the otters during the trip. We got to experience some playing on a winter trip a few years ago. They are so much fun to watch.
It’s Sunday evening and you’re allowing me to enjoy the solitude of life and winter,without getting wet and cold,thank you for the kindness Xander. When does your outdoor cooking channel start?
Here I am, a fellow Canadian, sitting in my recliner, nice and toasty warm, and watching Xander freeze his butt off wishing I was right there with him. 😂
Seriously though, I'm loving your content, Xander. Thank you for bringing us along!
1st time I've seen a solo trip of yours Xander..well done! I've always used 4 walls (so to speak) in a tent..great to see that survival is possible so long as u have access to fire 4 cooking and warmth! Thanx!
I love you too Xander. Sleep well my prince. You are inspiring as always
youre the reason im getting my first backpack worth of camping gear! Thank you for inspiring me as I need a hobby that doesn't involve sitting around and smoking!
Otters have been my favorite folks for some 70 years now and counting - They are playful, strong, loyal and good parents, brave, smart - They are just the best period...
Thank you again Xander for another camping trip! We all love you too! Please be safe! God Bless you always! 🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊😊. Mike
Mmmmmm. That waffle looked very tasty. Mmmmmmm. You need to go back to that spot during the summer time and do some fishing at that awesome spot next to the river. It was nice to see you back under the tarp instead of the hot tent. Stay safe out there.
YES!!!!!!! Grrrrr8 start to the weekend!!! Love ur videos 🙏🏻❤️
Just before I go to sleep, thanks Xander can't wait to watch!
I love you too brother, thank you for the videos. You're awesome!
