Stranded in a Rainstorm - Surviving the Night
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Caught in a rainstorm with a broken paddle, too far to hike out I must spend the night with the limited gear that I have.
While this situation was simulated, everything in the video I actually did with the limited tools and gear that I brought, all shown on video.
I always tell people where I'm going, I always carry an emergency communication device and I always bring an extra paddle, But It was fun to go through the motions of a potential stranded situation.
I'm sure I could have fixed my paddle before I snapped it all the way through but then I wouldn't have got to spend the night with my 1000 mosquito friends
Hope yall have a great day

Stay home
Man keep doin what you are doing. Spread facts stay true. Love and peace brither
I always think "man this looks like a great time, why don't I ever do this?" Then I see those mosquitos and remember why I sleep in a bed indoors. But maybe one day.
@@brigittej5158 thanks for the advice. Very helpful 👍
@@XanderBudnick You're very welcome
Even with a broken oar he still placed his camera on land and went back out onto the water to get the approach shot, the commitment is real!
No, Gustavo did that :)
He has a whole professional camera crew. He showed it in one of his old videos.
/s
Stage crew provided a broken paddle
that made the video fake.
@@IP1115 that end showed that the video is ""fake"", but the content was great either way
I always notice how grateful you are for the fish that you catch and eat, and that you always take what you need and not more. The world needs more outdoorsmen like you. Thank you for your amazing work.
First time watching one of his videos and I noticed that; it immediately made me more interested after seeing his respect.
Hey Xander, been going through a tough time the last few weeks, but your videos always put a smile on my face and help distract me, much love man
bro just remember, you've been through you're whole life with ups and downs, you can do it this time
Let´s go man, you´re doing great! Stay hard!
Turn to God in this time man 👍
looks like Xander is going through a tough time in that video tho
@@Nottaken112 well said
Love these short survival videos just as much as your cinematic pieces!! Awesome stuff Xander.
You didn't find this to be another great "cinematic" piece?? finds the extra paddle in the boat just as he gets ready to head home after spending a horrible night with millions of skeeters. lol
@@larryhutchinson4271 he said it was a simul in the description
Xander my Man. I don't know if I want to laugh or cry! Thanks again for another great video, showing what trying to survive in less than ideal circumstances is truly like.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@XanderBudnick Always Bud! Stay well!
And he gets out and sets up sequences and shots. Seamless story telling an dealing with the stuff at the same time. Impressive energy and determination !
He was faking it dude. He had the canoe over his head, there's no way he didn't know it.
And people like him aren't going to get on the water without knowing what they have. So......
@@shandelebroyles1099 dawg speak English.
It's been pretty awesome to see your skills and confidence in your outdoors abilities grow, but the fishing especially. I still remember the first video we see you clean and cook your own fish, and you saying you're really novice at it, but need to get better. And now here you are catching one and cooking it caveman style to survive without issue. Well done man. What a pleasure its been to see your adventures and witness your skills level up!
It's all in the editing
All are fake , that fish was already dead.
@@jahid1654 I hope this is sarcasm hahahaha you literally saw the take
this video is up there on one my favorites on your channel, I'm not sure why but there's something about this video. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
“I had my spare paddle here this whole time”🤣 cheers for making me laugh xander:)
lol
Umm whatever
@@shandelebroyles1099 I can't help but noticed quite a few of your negative comments.Do u hv some issues with this guy? U know him personally?U don't like it,watch other stuff then..
@@daninazriel ummm, whatever.
Every video when we see a far off camera angle… he sets it up and goes all the way back to get that shot, then goes all the way back to pick up his camera. So much dedication for this footage and I truly enjoy watching!
You never watched survivor man before huh
Has a film crew
Literally the only reason i dont do this kind of stuff myself, mosquitos, I've always been a magnet for them and it's almost a phobia now because of it.
The less you sweat the less you get mosquito bites
@@T.S.P.B Ive never really sweat much, when i was most bitten, during my teen years i basically didnt sweat at all.
Can't tell how it is good to see rain and hear rain sound,all you need is good bed with shelter over it and go to sleep while listening rain sound and experiencing cold air.......😴😴😴😴😴😴
I’ve been watching your videos for a month now. I love the challenges that you make for yourself. I started camping about 2 years ago and I keep looking for ways to push myself a bit more each time I go, so watching these videos are an inspiration for me. Thank you for the content, Xander.
Love your long “movie” like videos of trips but these quick survivorman esc stile videos are also so good. Nice work brother
I like the long ones but I don't always have time for them. I DO always have time for these.
Been having a lot of an anxiety but your videos do a great job at keeping my mind of things and keep my mind on being outside. Thanks man !!
This was an amazing compact 11 minutes education, innovation and entertainment. Well done sir, keep it up!
In a survival situation (yes, even if it is only for one night) you never extinguish a fire until you are ready to depart the area. In this case, the smoke from the fire may have helped the mosquito problem, too. All-in-all, a great entertaining video. I am now a subscriber.
Don't wanna spoil the majesty, but when you realise at 0:22 that he would have had to setup that shot then get back in Patches to paddle out and back in again. Man that's commitment to storytelling, much respect! ✌
I don't know whether I would have more enjoyed cuddling you to keep warm, or scaring you into being awake all night. I like when you travel with somebody for comfort and safety. You do well alone, but you have nothing to prove anymore. You could teach new travelers how it works. Good video. Pax.
Man, that was great. At the start I was like "Ok, it's a cool way to set up a survival situation but I hope Xander doesn't get into the whole 'Oh look at my precarious not planned predicament' that UA-camrs often do". Video was good so I watched, and then at the end, bam, you made it all come together perfectly. You are the real deal, dude.
Appreciate it :)
🙄
@@shandelebroyles1099 and your problem?
You videos never fail to take me along for whichever Adventure you are departing on. They take me with and move me to a similar place of natural tranquility that only the wild can provide. It is a rare thing, not only in a UA-cam content sphere but for media in general that I can experience something like that. In my opinion it is a testament to the efforts you go through to produce content of this quality. I'm really happy to be watching along, as i reminisce over the outdoor experiences of my own life, and feel inspired to dream of new ones. Cheers and thanks for the content, Xander.
Rain at the middle of the forest gives me chill and peace of mind
Funny you didn't see that extra paddle 😄
what a surprise
lol
I love the variety of content on your channel: the multi-day solo trips, the youtuber team-ups, and these solo survival videos. A great way to test yourself and to teach some important skills! I'm always learning when I watch your videos; they've made me push my own limits and boundaries. Many thanks!
some good cast-away vibes you created with this one. Nice ;)
Remember when we were younger and didn't want the world to find out about our favorite band. Kinda feel like that with Xander but at the same time think everyone should see these. Thank you man.
you have a very underrated sense of humor
As per usual - freakin' loved it. I knew something was up when I saw that wooden paddle. Not sure I've ever seen you use a wooden paddle you sly dog! You know, whenever I'm having a crappy day, I'll just swing by your channel and watch your videos - I'm either content with the the amazing, serene scenes or I'm laughing at your humour... especially the critical "poop tips". I wish you much continued success!
Hey, Xander. I too have been having a "horrendous" week, but sometimes it's never as bad as you think, and the solution was always there the whole time. A lot of times I think I've just been stuck in my head or not sleeping enough. Your videos always cheer me up. Keep going, man!
the rainy camping videos just hit different.
Yes Xander, and if you had looked around a bit better in the boat, you would have noticed not only the paddle but also your tent and 2-3 portions of dried lasagna 😁
bahahaha :p
Always great stuff, I used to paddle heavily as a younger man prior to family kids and all that, I do enjoy watching you go and do what you do. Brings back great memories.
glad to hear
(Narrator) _Here we see Xander heroically fix his paddle by wrapping 100 meters of paracord around the break and securing it with 342 common outdoorsperson knots. Let's watch!_
lol - i thought about it
I like this kinda videos basic survival anyone of us could end up in these situations. Great video man
Always surprises me how many mosquitos there are in place like Canada and Alaska I always thought the cold would keep them away
Excellence as usual! Love the focus on survival tips for this one.
I was watching this whole thing with a giggle! Knowing that you already slept out in the snow with less, on purpose, I knew you were just being melodramatic about this whole ordeal 🤭
Outstanding application of knowledge, skills, and equipment! What some may not realize is that behind these 11 minutes were many hours and experiences on each of the survival elements … shelter, fire, cooking a fish with paracord ! … and actually having a well thought out survival kit. Great example of taking ownership for your adventures and managing the outcomes. Thanks for the education.
I love your videos man. Something so peaceful about them. Sometimes they help me.
Haha outstanding Xander! Great video, and as always, we love the tongue in cheek approach. The humour doesn't take anything away from the fact that the video actually has legitimate instructional value!
Thanks Giske :D appreciate it my friend
This was nice to see a "REAL" survival night!!! Great Work!
Yeeeeeah i was like "Wait a second he has spare paddles all the time"
😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
A man who understands the power of a storyline to make even a wet night in the woods instructive, amusing & memorable - and has all the skills to process the germ of an idea all the way through to the finished product!
Very clever stuff again, Xander - the perfectionism is much appreciated & admired. Don't outgrow UA-cam yet, though. You'll leave too many of your devotees heartbroken ...
Can't tell if the ending was a joke or not, not sure if I want to 🤣 absolutely loved the video as always Xander your content is one of the few sure fire mood boosters in my life so thank you !
I love that despite the fact that the paddle is broken but Xander still managed to setup a camera on land and filmed himself canoeing to shore.
I know what’s going to relax me at night when I see my boy posted another vid!!!!
very beautiful scenery, your video makes the heart comfortable, behind the crowded city atmosphere can be very calm by watching your video, thank you
Just to echo what everybody else is saying, another great video! I enjoy the short format, although that's not to say I don't enjoy the longer videos! Point is, I appreciate the effort you put in for us, and this was a fun one to watch. Those mosquitoes make my skin crawl just looking at them!
I cannot believe you filmed this! This shows so much dedication to your viewers and your channel. Amazing!
Gottem
Filmed by his film crew…..fact…..you just dont see them……🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
it was a simulation so was all planned so he was obviously going to film it
@@Dew82222 yep. Had I watched the whole thing instead of commenting immediately I’d have thought twice !
@@cmargheimable oh it’s fine not a bad comment I was just informing you about this
Leaving land in the end scene with the camera still on land.. that hurts me because I know he’s gotta come back for it.. this dude is dedicated.. though all the hard times he still gives us the perfect video.. ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome survival video thank you for sharing friend
9:56 - I was always surprised to see so few mosquitoes in your videos Xander.
Here in Russia sharing the same climate zone and 95% the same landscapes we have much more of them.
Much more...
That was nice to see you in almost familiar mosquitoes conditions in this video. Nice video. Loved it 🤗
Stop invading ukraine
I feel you made this situation for making surviving video. How many times you actually go out to paddling with only 1 oar?
try watching until the end :)
Really???
Nobody reads the description. 😆
@@emf333 thanks, just read it, usually never do. 😁
@@Aurien. 🙃saw it
Now THIS is what im talkn bout! I felt like this was, because it was, a real life situation with the paddle breaking and all. Having to make shelter in the rain, and gather the wood quickly...all them mosquitoes too! WooWee! I like this one, i hope it gets a million views 😊
Brilliantly done thanks I enjoyed watching
So clever! What a great video - love the kindling drying up in the canoe and scraping off the wet bark. Mosquitos though, the worst!
Great video! I love how you started that fire with tiny branches and step by step it became much bigger
You are such a down to earth guy. Love your videos. God bless!
bro been a fan since way back, you teach me something in every video. Especially with the wet twigs and the fish cooking method. Bloody legend mate, shot
Hahah fantastic yet again. Them mosquitoes gave me itches 😂😂 see you in the nature 🌲
This was so fun to watch. That fish looks amazing
Planed or actual good recovery no panic , making the best out of a bad situation. GOOD LESSON !
Bear Budnick coming up with a great new video packed with nostalgia and fun.
Outstanding survival skills you are showing us in this unique and extraordinary video! On the other side this experience gave you tons of new memories and refined even your skills to survive in this difficult situation, well done, Xander! You are a hero in wilderness survival! Thank you so very very much for also having the patience to record your amazing adventure for us to be with you in your struggles you handled so very well! More friendly greetings and blessings from Sweden to you, dear, Xander! Take care!
he literally camped 3 meters from a lake and was shocked that there were 1000 mosquitoes…. not so survival skilled if you ask me..
You flipped your canoe and you don't notice your extra paddles! When in that situation that is pretty normal I guess. Keep safe, I'm always waiting for your videos. God bless
Man i love your videos, everytime I'm searching for a video you are my first one to search, keep the good work and be careful as always my dude.
The only insane biting insect survival story I can share: New Hampshire, a heat wave in deep summer, the woods swarming with deer flies, the large, fast, smart flies with a stinging bite. Three of us had to pass through a lengthy stretch of the woods to reach a favorite swimming hole. Not more then a few feet into the woods, the deer flies were on us, hellbent on attacking our eyes, ears, nostrils and mouths. Swatting was useless. Even running was useless. They were too fast, and too many! What to do? One of us came up with the idea to grab pine boughs, and hold them around our faces like a shield while we walked. It worked!
You make it look so cozy and ok to camp out. My husband and I were poor students when we got married and we had to camp out at the KOA on our honeymoon down to Florida in June. It was something that I will never forget. Unbeknownst to us that the mosquitoes , chiggers, and fire ants were out en force in June down there. I found out that they LOVED my blood. I must have donated a pint of my blood to the American Insect Blood Suckers Association of Florida. Red welts and itchy bite marks were all over my body. I looked like I had the measles! At night I couldn’t even get a shut eye because it was stifling hot, humid, not even a single breeze, and the insects formed their annual convention of cacophonous symphony of music. They partied all night long and it wasn’t until about 6 or 7 o’clock in the morning that they decided to close down their bands. It was a honeymoon of nightmare! 😂
i like the premise a lot. Things happen when you're out and you have to deal with it. Les would be proud.
5:32 I loved he thanked the life that was given so he can sustain himself… 😭
Always great to remember "you do have" a spare paddle, funny.
Xander you silly goose 😂🦆. Thanks 👍👍
Where is your film crew…….more of that spoof….WAS SOOO GOOD!!!
you just proved that fishing in the rain is the way to go. They always come out when it rains
LOL, spare paddle. Great little survival video tho, loved it. Growing to love your videos the most, keep it up! Great stuff.
Patches is like "Ha, I'm not looking so bad now compared to that lousy paddle!"
the level of resourcefulness of this guy is unmatchable
Never seen a “rain storm” this gentle.
One of my favorite videos yet. Thank you !
Greetings from Germany :)
I think this is absolutely great. Probably not the video you wanted to create but really shows what to do to survive If you get stranded.
Thank Goodness for this video. I would have been hopeless if I had to spend 1 whole night in the wilderness, without it having had watched it.
it's great the adventures you share with us thank you very much and good luck for the rest
Always embrace the unforseen adventures. 👍👍👍. Very well done Xander!!! 👍
Haha 🤣 liking the story telling on this one.
Glad you enjoyed it
Most people would not know what to do in that situation, that is awesome that you kept a cool head about you
This would be a ruined trip in my book. But you made the best of it and worked through the hardships. Well done. Your positive attitude shows acceptance of what is and a great lesson for this viewer. Thanks for sharing!
Nice skills dude , I am surprised what you managed to pull off with the limited amount of gear you had. Keep up the good work🐸 👍
Blessings come in all sorts of ways and more often than not I find them when the frustration, worry, overwhelming has calmed. Like your spare set of paddles. Great life lessons video. Thank you
I love that u say thank you for the fishes life seems simple and some people would probably laugh but I think that’s awesome. Shows an attitude and approach to it all that I appreciate
Haha the ending was top notch. And those mosquitos...that's the stuff of nightmares right there.
Great job Xander, you just made me laugh. Thanks for sharing another great video. Stay safe and God bless you man
I absolutely love the lengths you will go just to mix it up and show the creative side as well the reality of what it could be like out there unprepared
gustavo working hard getting all the angles
Hey Xander Bud, I found your channel few months ago and few days ago I completed watching all your past videos, I wait for the new ones. I have gone through so many channels like yours but your one stands out and make me smile. you have that thing... thanks man, yes I enjoy watching your video as much as you experience in the woods. keep the videos coming please.. much love from Australia
If I was younger & single, I might just be doing what you’re doing. Thanks for letting me live vicariously thru your videos!
The whole time I was thinking, "who only brings one paddle (wooden even) when soloing". I should have known. Great skills video.
well filmed - honestly done. You have a survivor attitude that works. And you have your shit together pretty well i thought. Kudos on the bass - that made your night a bunch better
1000 mosquito friends... I hope you gave them all names. Excellent vid!
Nice Monday pick-me-up. Always fun to watch.
always have a second paddle on your trip. Makes portaging easier as well with two shoulder rests strapped to the thwarts. Great presentation on how to get and stay dry.
