      @@daant2892 ​ So did I, I used to watch his videos explicitly because it was usually just him--on foot, alone in the wilderness, sometimes with a pal. Just him and the woods and the sights and sounds of nature. I watched @Xander Budnick's videos to cope with the sounds of highway traffic bc I lived too close to the freeway and the sound of traffic and knowing the health effects I was suffering from all the carcinogenic dust from all the vehicles was impacting my mental health and blood pressure.
      I watched his videos because they let me get away from cars. Now his videos are apparently car ads. I would rather sub to a patreon than watch this crap. unsubbed. @wrighty338

    For what it may, or may not, be worth, I am proud of your accomplishments. I am proud you've overcome the hurdles. I may not personally know you, but I still wish you the best in everything. I look forward to this video and the next!

    Sweet! I'd love to just go up there to see it. But to also adventure over to Nunavut would be the icing on the cake. Thanks for bringing us along.

    Wow....the things you go through to entertain us is incredible. What a cold and windy camping trip.
    Actually brought back memories of life in Yukon....going for long walks at -40 and wrapping my little car with a tarp to help keep it warm when doing a 5 1/2 hour drive at 60 below.
    Thanks for the memories and the laughs Xander.
