Solo Camping and Cooking by the River
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Out for a bit of a scouting mission, I set up camp with my tarp on a riverbank and cook up some delicious fish for dinner and listen to the sounds of moving water.
About the Tree at the beginning of the video: I heard this tree making cracking noises from a distance, so I walked up and set up my camera. The thing was about to go. I made sure there was no bird nests or any inhabitants of the tree before I gave it some gentle persuasion. If I had not given it a slight push it would have fallen over in the next few days maybe even hours, the base was completely rotten, and it was just a matter of time before it ended up on the ground. Just to clarify so it does not look as if I’m just going around destroying the forest, it was however super fun to watch it fall.

It's okay. Better safe than dead.
Cool story 😎
No need to explain. You do what’s needed for safety.

I just found your channel two or three nights ago, Xander. Last night watching you (I live alone.) gave me so much peace. I am 72, have never been an outdoorsman, and health issues make such a life probably unwise now. So, thank you so much for making this ol' man feel younger again. You bring back such great memories of the college students I had the honor of teaching for a number of year. Please contine to post. Again, thank you and many congrats on your staying sober. Life will only get better for you!!
You're 72 years young, much love and respect for you♥️
Hop u enjoy the vid man, god bless u ❤️
Never too late sir

@@josephcruz5257 Thanks so very much, and may He bless you too.
This is such a cool channel. Keep up the amazing work my man.
Thanks brother! I really enjoy your channel aswell :)
Love that channel bru
Colab!!
consider uploading more often bro
This is such a sick channel dude. UA-cam recommendations coming in clutch
agreed
True true the content these days are sick
Learned a long time ago, that cedar pops out of the fire. Burned a good pair of socks learning that. Wonderful video. Be safe. And remember...you're never really alone. God bless.
Sometimes the best way to learn is the good old hard way lol! Glad you enjoyed it Kim! have an awesome day!
Nature beckons us to go hiking and fills our thoughts at any time of the year! Once you realize that you can no longer stay at home. You literally rip off your jacket and backpack from the hanger and go into the woods. Where there are no people, where the smells of wet pine needles and smoke mix and silence reigns. The forest accepts us as we are. And we are his guests, not the hosts. I am grateful to you for your interesting video!
Well said thanks for sharing
The spot is perfect , river sound , trees , sunlight ... you got a gem . I’m sure you’ll be revisiting this spot in future as well
Aye it was a real beauty spot
Just want to say i am delighted I have found this channel. This video has inspired me and gave me confidence to do my first solo camping trip, something which I have desired to do for so long.
Ehh right on brother happy to hear! itll be a great experience!
The whole video is such fun to watch with the sound of the water flowing by.
Thanks for demonstrating all the tarp configurations, my tarp game is weak. This channel resonates with me. Playing around with the rocks in the river is something I always do, people can talk all the crap they want, it is just a good time. Really appreciate the concise filming style. I'm impressed that you can do so much storytelling in such a short amount of time. I have only seen a few of your videos so far, but will be watching more. I noticed on another video you asked about length of videos, I treat UA-cam as my primary video entertainment. Anything from 5-90 minutes is totally reasonable especially with the interesting content you post. Keep up the great work.
Ehh throwing rocks is the best. Thanks for your comment my friend. Glad your enjoying the videos
That's the life! There's something mesmerising about a campfire, or even an open fire at home. I could sit and look at it forever. So calming...
You are a real inspiration on how to live life.
Thanks man cheers
I’ve become addicted to the videos. Keep making awesome and crafty food please. That’s my favorite part. And cozy sleep setups.
You really took it to the next level with the drone. Been watching you for such a long time now and the quality of your videos are a lot better every single time and its amazing to watch from the side. You are going to get really far with this, i think;) Keep it up Xander. :D
Thanks my friend! I really appreciate that!
I’m so glad you put the name of the knots on the video. Thanks!!
Helps eh
Another awesome video! Watching how you set the tarp up was cool. I particularly like the use of the blaze orange plastic wire ties on the ground. I lost count of the ropes I've lost! The age old problem of sparks from a fire have ruined many jackets, tarps and sleeping bags. Oak logs help but most of the time pine is all thats available. Thanks for keeping it real! I always learn something new from each of your videos! looking forward to your next one!

Hey Rick! Thank you, Thank you! Aye those ties come in handy for both tying up gear and for the tarp. I try and get my hands on hardwood whenever possible but sometimes theres no option for it :p ohh well lesson learned.... again.... Cheers Have an awsome day!
Yeah, so I'm binge watching your videos and I'm laughing my ass off at your humor. It's like the best combination: food, outdoors, good camping and a funny & smart guy. Thank you so much for these videos!!
Wow this video was absolutely beautiful. That short drone footage was the cherry on top.
Aerial video was so excellent, and with the sunset !! And so was the meal. Made me so hungry.
Great stuff man! Tree was a widow maker, better on the ground than on some poor fella
Thanks friend and Aye I agree!
I too been watching for two to three weeks and I am really enjoying your videos. Thank you Xander, be safe and looking forward to more videos. Best regards from me.
It’s better that the tree falls safely rather than on a passing hiker or any creature. The fact it was fun
Is a side issue. Love your videos, they are so chilled. Keep safe
Boy could I sleep by the crackling fire and the running river!
you are the man.. this is real camping.. that fire making is awesome.. wish i can travel with you. lol
Right on thanks my friend
Excellent camp 🏕. Very interesting and peaceful. Thank you.
These videos are excellent. The camerawork and color grading are breathtaking! The pefect balance between ASMR and commentary is pleasing and relaxing. You genuinely deserve a ton of subs. Awesome work, man!
Thanks my man. No color grading tho just nature
what a beautiful sight when the drone is flying 🌤
10:58 love those shots of the calm fire with you working in the background mate looks wicked 👍
Thanks Friend! it was a nice place to be!
جميل جدا
Love the sound of the water😍😀😍
Great video once again, inspiring. Loved the drone footage. Cheers from Hungary! :)
Cheers my friend
Your posts are therapeutic Xander. They instill tranquility. It is so beautiful beside that river. Thanks!✨✨✨✨✨🙂
Thanks Paddy as always my friend
Great way to start the day, cup of joe, and Xander on the TV! Genuinely believe you'll be among the biggest in this space within a year or two, looking forward to more🙌
Sounds like a nice morning lol see thanks Giske I really appreciate that my man!😊
Wow you go camping alone in the Side of the River its so nice you never heard Strange Noise over there Xander Good Luck to the Next Camping 😇😇😇💙💖💝💗💕💓💞💙💙💙🇵🇭
It's great how you bring fresh ingredients for meals, especially for 1-2 nighters. Nearly all other canoe/hike/camp youtubers bring maybe steak n bake for their first night (maybe), then freeze dried the rest of their meals.
love your drone footage with that soul calming background tunes.
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, sincere thanks for the tag along. This was a fun outing. The best to you for your good health and safety. See 👀 you on your next video. 🤗
Th photo you took of Max in the morning mist was epic. That is a Frame-able photo ! Redemption accomplished. The beauty of this spot is indescribable. Love your videos.
"Charcuterie, Shawshank Redemption" lol, you crack me up bro 🤣
I love how you make your trip / camping videos...the place, the beautiful Canadian wild .. the sound of the river, oh, so relaxing, as if im really ,literally camping with you. Keep up the good work.
Mükemmel kamp ve doğa emek verdiğiniz için teşekkürler 😊
When you're out there - what do you do to pass time? Don't get me wrong, I love nature and could sit for hours but are you reading, writing, meditating or just chillin? Love your channel! Can't wait to see you grow!!
Filming takes up alot of time which I enjoy. But reading writing and mediation if I have free time or just staring at the fire
Totally addicted to this channel, thanks UA-cam algorithm!
good stuff my friend!
Your videos are by far the best.
Thankyou for keeping me company in this god forsaken pandemic. Wish you good health and drive for your adventures.
Love the sound of the rushing water. Your drone skills are great too.
That meal though , simple but classy 👌.
I've watched many different camping and bushcraft videos but yours are just better.
Thanks man that means alot!!
Just now found your channel, which is one of the best founded today I saw your 3 days winter camping. Just awesome salutes you❄❄❄
Thanks my friend 🙂
@@XanderBudnickI'll keep supporting my friend, by watching this I'm too thinking to camp in future
I love everything about these videos, stunning art and passion
Hi Xander a young man.I admire you a lot for doing alone travelling and camping.Take care always.Godbless you!!
I grew up in Montana sure does bring back some fond memories camping in the wilderness next to the river, creeks and lakes!
Two of best thing to watch on mytube, watching people hike and camping or garage sale dumpster treasure hunting
and the combination would be out of this world lol
That drown idea is awesome .
So peaceful
Dinner looks wonderful! 5 star restaurant!
I liked your method of putting the fire out you were going to make sure it was out so you flooded it good job
Very much camping⛺ Very good👍
I lobe your videos mate. Please keep going. I’ll share this videos as much as I can.
You are alone and your channel is much better than TV shows with crews behinds
I cannot count the number of hours I have spent staring at a fire in the wilderness. Your channel is doing well my friend, I like how you incorporated the knots you tie. Cheers.
Hey Mike. I agree my friend. Cheers brother thank you
One word : WOW !!! ( Bravo )
Thank you
Dinner looked soooooo delicious!
Thanks for the content Xander. I have a young buddy who is in long rehab atm. I’m looking forward to watching some of your trecks with him soon. I think your number 2 advice will resonate. Keep it coming. And thanks for keeping it real. C
Thanks so much for the kind words, Xander.
The sound of the river would lull me to sleep in no time.
great. i love that it's not over produced. Nature vids should have the feel of nature's rhythm.
Happy to hear that
This is the culminaition of youtube, one day solo campings will trend.
I sure hope so thanks brother
Love your videos Xander ...they are really good
Love this guy, its camping ASMR. The angles alone are worth the sub.
I found your channel recently and it has inspired me so much. I really enjoy watching your videos, they are incredible and make me feel like my bushcraft dream doesn't have to be a dream! Keep up the amazing content!

Best video of yours Xander.. loved it
Happy to hear that my friend
That drone part was awesome. That’s the first time in my life I’ve ever been moved by a drone shot 😆
This is how introverts charge themselves after socializing for more than an hour
Man, i love watching your videos and just chill out. So calming and peacefull. think i have to try this myself at some point.
Great job on the drone skit. And greatvfootage of your camping area
Hi. Very interesting video, I pray for a peaceful world, everyone can live in freedom and happiness. thanks
Yes, thank you
@@XanderBudnick thank you
That dinner looked really good, excited to see the next video on that river🇦🇺🇨🇦
I'm heading out tomorrow and I'm super pumped!
As someone who doesn’t know anything about tying knots for you to have each knot you tie named is super helpful! Loving the vids man keep it up!
Thanks man. Figured if people were interested they could look em up
Xander you are a hardworking and talented man. Love watching your vids! ❤️
Thank you my friend!! I appreciate it :D
i love your videos man! Much love and respect from philippines
I really like your attitude Xander. And those drone footages are just breathtaking.
