Hi Roman. I feel like our lifestyles have changed but we ourselves haven't changed much - which is why we are so easily transported back on something a camping trip :) All the best to you and thanks for stopping by!
To Maxim: I bet if you told us a little bit about yourself and your wife, in the "About" section of the menu bar of Your Subscription, that afterwards, your number of new subscribers would explode! From one nature lover to another, (I am here in Northern California, USA, think class 1-5 river rafting, alpine Lake Tahoe) your Zen love for nature is captured utterly brilliantly with your camera lens. From your panoramic wilderness drone shots to your let's catch this dragonfly close up shot. Much respect to you and your wife, Best Regards, Kevin
You and your brother, just keep uploading videos, it's one of the stress relievers by watching your videos and thank you very much for this wonderful video
Hey Brandon. I've gotten so much peace from watching other peoples videos over the years... It means a lot to me to hear that I'm doing that for someone else. Thanks a lot for letting me know! All the best!
You are definitely not afraid of hard work , thats including moving the camera then retrieving it. loved the video. nice change. looking forward to the next.
Your musings on the firefight reflected on the cave wall, what our ancestors might have seen. Sitting next to a campfire in some remote spot. Feeling the warmth and comfort. I've looked up at the stars thinking I'm looking at the same stars, the same constellations, that another man did 10,000 years ago. Wondering, marveling at the unknown beauty. We're no different now than we were then. Another fine bit of work, well done.
Hey, Jeff. Yeah, I love thinking about this kind of stuff. I often wonder about this stuff camping/hiking... How long people have been camping on a spot I'm on, how long people have been wearing down a portage... Cheers and thanks for watching!!
Thank you, Nate! Really appreciate the specific feedback on that shot - when possible I try to leave something special for the end... Nice to know that was a good choice to you! Cheers, man!
The sounds of the leaves under your feet, the fire crackling, the steam from the water boiling, the water fall, and the bacon cooking-- very relaxing indeed! (and made me hungry for bacon!) This is simplicity at it's finest.
A stunner Max, thank you! I too think of ancient people and early settlers/explores when in the outdoors particularly when the weather is at its worst. Your imagery is just amazing and I love every detail you capture! Be well and journey on 🙂Barret
Beautiful work, Maxim! Makes me wonder how many "cave dwellers" lived their short and difficult lives with a home not much bigger than that. With all of the nonsense in the world today we should stop and appreciate the good things we have, too. Cheers!
Incredible to think that they were just about the same people we were - just in incredibly different circumstances. I also enjoy pondering these things. Thanks for another nice comment, Gord!
Another enjoyable video. Just a comment, I always made sure to wear Flourescent Hat or Vest during the Fall, and a Bear-Bell. I remember coming over a small hill on a Portage and seeing a Hunter pointing his rifle straight in our direction. Yikes!!!
What an unreal vid. Keeps getting better and better, can definitely see how hard you work on these. Never seen a tree root in that capacity, legendary.
I am extremely envious of how easily you and your brother light fires. I assume practice makes perfect, or maybe you just don't show the failures, but you really do make it look easy. Well done. Great video.
I’ve watched so many of their videos I think I could start one in my backyard and roast some hot dogs.😊 I’m almost 72 so backyard “camping “ may have to suffice 😉
@@rebeccadees2300 Don’t give up yet! I am 66, got two new knees last year, and am heading up to Algonquin next month to see what I can do. I am still hoping for another canoe trip or two before I am done, perhaps with one or two of the progeny to help with the heavy lifting.
Thank you for sharing! I've been trying to stay true to my own style, but sometimes I wonder if I should be talking more. Glad to hear you enjoyed the silence. Thanks for watching!!
Loved the video maxim cool shelter and result coming across the cave shadows the cold to no end I’ve done this before and heat the stones at the fire then move them inside providing enough space takes the cold edge off inside food looked great and always tastes better for some reason when out camping take care and all the best ❤️👍👌🔥🔥
Hey Peter! How have you been? Yeah I couldn't get enough of watching the shadows on the rock wall - it's such an amazing feeling to sleep in a cave! All the best to you as well! Thanks for commenting - much appreciated!
What a pretty area you were in. So peaceful. Loved seeing you find shelter from your surroundings. Nice to have water sources available like they were . The ice formations were beautiful. Another great video that shows us the beauty you experience 🙂
Thank you, Kathy! Sorry for taking so long to reply! Yeah i got so many shots of the ice formations... It's painful to have to select only a few seconds for the video. Cheers and thanks for stopping by!
Love the cave setup and the waterfall was awesome. I gotta admit, I can't camp by a waterfall or I will be peeing all night! Thanks for sharing the video!
Funny you're the second person to make that comment about peeing all night. The sound of water just keeps me asleep! Cheers and thanks for watching and commenting! ✌️
Good thing there wasn't a bear who had already claimed that cave! LOL! Besides appreciating the great content and videography, all I can think is - you gotta really love doing what you do to sleep outside in those temps! Thanks for sharing.
Good evening, Maggie! Glad you liked this video! The cave would have been far too small for a bear! And it was pretty chilly but I got warm and cozy really fast in my sleeping bag :)
Wow very cool location, what a find and great setup just using the natural surroundings. Love the minimal talking vibe and just letting nature say its piece.
@@maximbudnick I think we all, until the end of our lives..probably beyond that. And I am looking forward to learn from you, through your videos, on how to get along out there ;)
Wonderful! Looks like an awesome couple of days, and exactly the sort of vicarious serenity I needed right now. ❤ As always, thank you for bringing us along.
Another great video. Both shelters were neat, the cave definitely was my favourite. Loved how you captured various ice formations. Some beauty as the weather turns colder.
awesome video with very beautiful shots and crisp cuts. the scenery was absolutely amazing an that cave near the waterfall... what an awesome spot... greetings and keep up the great work mate
Ya I felt very lucky to have stumbled on that place. I wasn't looking for a cave but as soon as I found it I knew I had to camp there. Thanks again for your support!
Amazing spot and amazing camera work as always! I highly recommend coming back to this cave when there is snow on the ground as well as showing tons of different angles of the cave (people seem to LOVE winter caves lol)
Really appreciate that! I think coming back in the winter is a fine idea. I will try to make it happen though access might be kindove difficult as it is quite deep in the woods if the snow is deep.
That was a very nice forest to hike in . That waterfall was charming with the leafs on the rock but I was scared that you would slip and hurt yourself . Where you able to sleep in that thight space ? Thanks for sharing
Oh yeah I slept great. It felt pretty decently roomy for a single person. Yup gotta be so careful with slipping - specially when hiking alone... Thanks for watching!!
I was at the snow yesterday out of melbourne (unseasonal late cold front), and so to see it snowing at the same time on the other side of the world in Canada is incredible Love the footage of the ice on the branches and water 👌🏻👌🏻
@@maximbudnick The mountains above 1400 meters have relatively consistent snow through winter, but to have 10cm of coverage in late November is very unusual.
Nice video , and relaxing scenery. Would you and your brother consider panning for gold at some unknown location? Hopefully you would strike it rich !!
Maxim: I enjoyed this video, thanks for the content. One thing I want to mention is that when I looked for the subscribe button to make sure I wasstill subscribed, well, there wasn't one...
Another 10/10 ⭐️ video. Really entertaining and informative. Very cool shelters and great skills. Was that big tree, your first night, a silver birch? It was great seeing you on Canoehound last night.
Great video Max, as always. We just got our first snow here in Sweden as well. Looking forward to some winter and hopefully try some winter camping. And that cave, with the root inside, absolutely awesome. Cheers!
As always, awesome video Maxim. Your videography keeps getting better and better. Love your choice of shelters. You didn’t dismantle the yellow birch shelter, are we to expect a return to that shelter for a wintery snowshoe in video? How cool would that be? Oh, and the frying bacon, that put this trip OVER THE TOP! Thanks for all the work you put in to this for me. 😂😂 well, for all of us. 👍🏻
Great video max! Hope all is well any recommendations on cheap cameras. Got a go pro but looking for a cheap camera for clean shots and videos! Anyways thanks for the amazing content
I feel like I comment the same shit on every video BUT every video you really progress your skills! I’ve loved following you to see how you progress as a videographer. Really amazing shots. You’re definitely going to have a big following soon- I know it! If you’re ever in the Thunder Bay Area and needs some help- let me know! Amazing outdoor opportunities here.
Thanks a lot! The pan is the msr glacier www.mec.ca/en/product/5050-847/glacier-stainless-steel-25cm-frypan?gclid=CjwKCAiAyfybBhBKEiwAgtB7fh-tVSnRyd8K83168TSYxdnb35L4pHe7fe3eTn-qRTELP8vCRbmZ2RoCpp0QAvD_BwE&colour=NO_COLOUR
Hi Tom, I believe I might have already answered another comment of yours, but the ax is a Small Forest Axe Gransfors Bruks. I've been wearing merrell hiking boots (which arent a great fit for me and haven't held up to well), or mid-quality generic duck boots from cabellas
Hey Rebecca! Not really! Spring waters allow for incredible river trips, summer is glorious with wildflowers and fishing, beauty of fall colors is unmatched in Ontario, and winter has an almost spiritual pristine quietness about it. If I were FORCED to pick... I'd probably say fall like everyone else in Ontario!
Hey both xander and I use the MSR Glacier stainless steel pan. www.mec.ca/en/product/5050-847/glacier-stainless-steel-25cm-frypan?gclid=Cj0KCQiA1ZGcBhCoARIsAGQ0kkqjhzn9WxDjdM0bebrLoSeDo0gBAzehsCHVYjWWMbqiScm5Nq5meH4aAvj5EALw_wcB&colour=NO_COLOUR
Xander enjoys cooking more than I do. His appetite is not as big as it seems haha its more like he cooks way to much every time and has to stuff it down. 😄
Hey Max, thanks for the clips. I have a question. I have been watching Xander for a while and because of him started to camp and record it. However I am not happy with my clips. I keep comparing them with Xander and of course is not going to be the same since he has more experience. How did you find your style? How do I overcome the discouragement? Do you try to copy Xander or try finding your own style? Thanks and greeting FROM Iran...
Thanks Filip! To be honest, before I had put out my first video I have been thinking critically about xanders videos for over two years. He has always had me look over them for feedback before he released them. In the beginning we butt heads a lot more about what we liked and what we didn't. So I had a lot of time to consider what my style might be before I even started. Good news is you are already doing the best thing you can do which most people never do and that is simply start. It took me too long. By simply starting and doing it over and over you will inevitably come into your own style. The whole thing will be about taking consistent baby steps forward. With everything from improving your gear setup to what angles work and what doesn't. There are a thousand ways to do it and no right way. You can only find your way by doing it. Equipment helps and not forgetting that a thumbnail is just as important as the video itself. There is so much to say but that's a start. You have such a beautiful country to show to the world and amazing food as well. People will want to watch!
@@maximbudnick thank you max for taking the time and replying and inspiring words. I agree that the hard part is actually doing it. Looking forward for more clips of yours. Take care! ❤️
Thank you for this slice of serenity from North Carolina!
My pleasue, Crystal! Cheers!
Hiking all my days in BC...that cave/creek pond is top 10 I've ever seen. Thank you for your minimalist and philosophist approach.
My pleasure, Gord! BC is so beautiful - I'll be there next year and can't wait to do some trips! :)
Great video! You just set some of us caveman back a few thousand years, if we could know their thoughts, fears!
B.C. Canada
Hi Roman. I feel like our lifestyles have changed but we ourselves haven't changed much - which is why we are so easily transported back on something a camping trip :) All the best to you and thanks for stopping by!
An artists eye, a poets thoughts. Canada is food for a wise man’s soul.
Thanks for your kind words, Brant. All the best to you and thanks for watching. Cheers
Woot woot. Another video from Max. I'll finish watching then I'll comment again. Excited to see the whole video. Woot woot
Hello, Joenabel! How have you been? Okay hope you enjoy this one! 🌸
I can't imagine anything more soul-satisfying than walking in a forest along a whispering brook.
Soul satisfying is right!
good pics of nature and your mic is pulling in some really nice sound...always. enjoy the minimal dialogue videos...good vid
Thank you, Alan. Sound is often my favorite part of camping - specially in winter. Cheers
Sound is best with snow

Lots of work, but it's fun work! Thanks for watching, Bryan!
That was a pretty awesome couple of nights and that final shot at 20:45 was amazing.

Great video Max. Such a lovely area. I missed your beautiful background music. Blessings
Thank for watching! I am sure I will use music again soon. Cheers

You’ve done it again Maxim. Great video🎉
Thank you, Ryan!!! I appreciate the support ✌️
That river flowing by those rocks was incredible.
I thought so to Manuel 🙂
Good stuff. Enjoy these moments, young man. They come once a lifetime for some.
Thank you for your advice. I will!

Snuggle Faaaaaartz! How's it going? Thanks man - I've been doin gmy best. Yeah that tree root was unreal!
@@maximbudnick i think i speak for everyone in saying; cant wait for the next adventure!!! keep killin it
Max this was an awesome trip. I was so relaxed watching you and the senery. Your video was excellent. Glad I was able to take that trip with you.
Thanks, Wendel! Glad you liked it 🌲🌨
Another excellent adventure Maxim. Spending the night in a cave like that would be tough to pass up, I'm glad you did it.
Hey Dave! 🙂 Oh yeah it was perfectly cozy! I was out as soon as I got in my sleeping bag.
Loved those close up shots! Being able to see the details of the things around you adds a lot to the immersion, awesome video!
Really appreciate that! I love the macro shots and hope to get better equipment soon to do it better in the future
I am extremely envious of how easily you and your brother light fires. I assume practice makes perfect, or maybe you just don't show the failures, but you really do make it look easy. Well done. Great video.

That was a sweet little cave site by the waterfall! Can’t ask for much more. I bet you will revisit that one next winter!
Yes, the perfect size to stay warm in it! :)
Such amazing country! Kudos to you....if I slept in a cave like that I would be in traction for a week ;)
I agree! I cheated with the air mattress and was quite comfortable!

What axe did you use and boots?
Hi Tom, I believe I might have already answered another comment of yours, but the ax is a Small Forest Axe Gransfors Bruks. I've been wearing merrell hiking boots (which arent a great fit for me and haven't held up to well), or mid-quality generic duck boots from cabellas
Do you have a seasonal preference for camping?
Hey Rebecca! Not really! Spring waters allow for incredible river trips, summer is glorious with wildflowers and fishing, beauty of fall colors is unmatched in Ontario, and winter has an almost spiritual pristine quietness about it. If I were FORCED to pick... I'd probably say fall like everyone else in Ontario!
What pan do both you and your brother use for cooking over the fire?
Hey both xander and I use the MSR Glacier stainless steel pan. www.mec.ca/en/product/5050-847/glacier-stainless-steel-25cm-frypan?gclid=Cj0KCQiA1ZGcBhCoARIsAGQ0kkqjhzn9WxDjdM0bebrLoSeDo0gBAzehsCHVYjWWMbqiScm5Nq5meH4aAvj5EALw_wcB&colour=NO_COLOUR
Which Osprey pack are you using?
It's an aether 70 AG. Cheers! 🎒
That chicken looked pretty good, but you ain't eating like Xander.
Xander enjoys cooking more than I do. His appetite is not as big as it seems haha its more like he cooks way to much every time and has to stuff it down. 😄

Saya pendatang baru...
Selamat datang kawanku! 🙂
Hey Max, thanks for the clips. I have a question. I have been watching Xander for a while and because of him started to camp and record it. However I am not happy with my clips. I keep comparing them with Xander and of course is not going to be the same since he has more experience. How did you find your style? How do I overcome the discouragement? Do you try to copy Xander or try finding your own style? Thanks and greeting FROM Iran...
Thanks Filip! To be honest, before I had put out my first video I have been thinking critically about xanders videos for over two years. He has always had me look over them for feedback before he released them. In the beginning we butt heads a lot more about what we liked and what we didn't. So I had a lot of time to consider what my style might be before I even started. Good news is you are already doing the best thing you can do which most people never do and that is simply start. It took me too long. By simply starting and doing it over and over you will inevitably come into your own style. The whole thing will be about taking consistent baby steps forward. With everything from improving your gear setup to what angles work and what doesn't. There are a thousand ways to do it and no right way. You can only find your way by doing it. Equipment helps and not forgetting that a thumbnail is just as important as the video itself. There is so much to say but that's a start. You have such a beautiful country to show to the world and amazing food as well. People will want to watch!
@@maximbudnick thank you max for taking the time and replying and inspiring words. I agree that the hard part is actually doing it. Looking forward for more clips of yours. Take care! ❤️
👍

Could of stayed warmer if you built a small fire in the cave to warm the rocks before bed.
Something to consider, but I was was actually quite warm in my sleeping bag on this trip. Cheers!

I don’t understand, worried about widow makers, but not worried about rocks falling on you? Just saying
I checked the rock beforehand it was very stable.
@ I meant it funny sorry guess I forgot the lol 😂
Shelters like this give me hope that Bigfoot exists.
I am happy to help keep the dream alive!
Did you have any interesting dreams under the tree root? 🤔
Funny come to think of it I might have. Or I may be confusing it with another night recently where I had a strange dream.
Xander sent me… So ummm, No Pressure but VIDEOS BETTER BE COOL 😎 (sarcasm JOKES!) ☮️❤️
