You are the David Attenborough of survival camping: an excellent communicator, teacher and filmmaker, with total respect for the natural environment and a great sense of theatre and fun. Love these videos, have learnt so much. Thank you.
My daughter (5yo) and I love watching your videos! She thinks you're absolutely hilarious. Thank you for bringing laughter and knowledge to your videos. Love from Iowa, USA 🇺🇸
Xander - I've been watching your videos for 3 years now. Every single time I watch them I never fail to be relaxed and calmed down, as well as reminded of the importance of being in nature and spending time exploring. I love your content - keep it up!
It has been a great journey of healing and recovery. Being able to sneak away into the woods and snow in 30 minutes helps me reset from family/work life. Thanks for making these videos Xander.
It’s the small tidbits of info like small strokes on the ferro rod and then a big one to light the smaller bits that make this channel worth watching completely though with no skipping.
Best channel on UA-cam. Xander man I thank you for the quality of these videos, show casing nature, outdoor skill, humor and your authenticity regarding sobriety. Rock on brother
I like your versatility of tools/shelters/fires. Oh and of course food. Thanks for keeping it interesting---even with the hunting! I am a new hunter too so I like to see other amateurs giving it a shot too and not being afraid of making mistakes.
Thank you for sharing your travels with us all year long. I wish you strength and new ideas in the new year. Your videos motivate me to pack my backpack and go on my own journey. Thank you! ❤😊
Thank you so much Xander for all the videos in 2023, it literally got me through this year with a smile on my face. :) Keep up the good work and let me know if you ever wanna come over to Norway and test out the winter around the fjords. 👍
Love how you're demonstrating it doesn't take much gear to live/survive a night out. Even in cold weather. Have a friend who loves to day hike. She had a scary hike one time where she got off trail and was afraid she wouldn't make it back to the trailhead and would have to spend at least one night out. She didn't carry much with her expecting just routine day trips. She was so shaken she was telling me she was probably going to stop hiking which she loved. I encouraged her to put together some simple items to carry just for spending a night out if she ever had to. A couple of ways to start a fire, a poncho for weather or shelter, a whistle, paracord, a water bottle and a metal cup, water purification tablets, a couple of energy bars, a headlamp. Add whatever else you like, say a map of the area. Then go someplace you're familiar with, hike out a little way, not far, not so far you couldn't easily walk back to your vehicle even at night. Pick a good campsite and spend the night out with just those items. Do it just to show yourself you can. You'll learn from the experience, most importantly you'll learn about yourself. How to face your fear and anxiety, how to make a better shelter, how to learn that it may not be the most comfortable night ever but it will be rewarding. I also love how you show the most important item to have even if you don't keep it in your container kit. Your attitude. Stay calm, be prepared, keep thinking how to solve problems. Damp icy spruce bows? Simple dry them by the fire. Carry some tape to fix the tear you know will likely happen in the mylar or plastic. Practice these scenarios and your skills and confidence will grow. And if you ever are faced with a situation where you might have to rely on yourself and a few select items you'll already know you can do it. Love how you've done episodes using less and less or more simple gear. Very cool.
Hi Xander. Well another great adventure in the books, along with your little bit of silliness. Excellant all the way thru. Great way to finish off the year. I'll leave you with this. Cold winds mingle in any nook and cranny they find as Winter spreads her cloak around herself and like a breath of fresh air breathes a sigh at the beauty of it all.. and this xander is your playground in all the seasons, you happily share with us. Happy New Year.
Great job with the shelter and the necessary repairs. I noticed that you did some hunting in a previous video. Glad to see the branching out, so to speak. Thank you for the fine content and the effort you put into making these videos. You have two fans in sunny Wisconsin.
Xander I've begun specifically checking your ch. each time I have time for viewing my favored content. Your audience greatly appreciates the detail you go into to explain all aspects of the methods employed. From knots to cooking ideas, and EVERYTHING in between, you keep us engaged and grateful for the details that, so many creators will, drop the ball on. This was a fun and educational video that both entertained and provided solid value. You're a Pro Host, well done, my friend. Blessings and safety be with you always. Very best your way with mega Thanks from Oregon. Mike.
Love that you gave yourself the canister challenge, I'd love to see a "glamping" video.....show off all your items, make it super comfy ❤ like - waay over the top !! Love your vids man, much love, from Australia 🇦🇺
Made my Day, as allways! Just the best Outdoor Content in all of UA-cam! Keep up the good Work and have a great New Year!🥳🥳 Greetings from Germany!✌⚫🔴🟡
Great video! Good to see the Siberian log lay work so well. I like what you’re doing with using different bushcraft survival techniques - more of that! Thanks for the good content 👍🏻
Talking to your own echo gave me real "Jim Carrey in the Grinch" vibes lol. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Xander! Thanks for all the awesome content!
I hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas Xander. Please please build a snow shelter Luke from the outdoor boys has done them in the past and I love watching the construction off them. All the very best for 2024 I hope you hit 1 million subscribers this next year your channel is simply brilliant , I look forward to all your videos thank you so much for all you do your an absolute star. 🇬🇧🇨🇦
I wish I had a partner or friend as supportive as you two to help me put into words all these new mom feelings. Just so you both know, that figuring out my role and mom stuff is ongoing. Each age the child is, is a new mom role. It changes constantly and that's okay!
Xander. Very cool vid-as always. I live in Minneapolis-MN, and we have NO SNOW right now, which is unheard of, so fun to see your survival activities. Keep up the great work.
Sweet! Loved that pocket chainsaw, never seen it before, and the fire setup. Adding that one to the mix. Video suggestion since you asked: I’d love to see you spend a night or two with a traditional cowboy bedroll, and “frontier-like” tools. It would be a fun excuse for some bushcraft and maybe a history lesson 🙏
Definitely do another shelter and fire set up like that again that was so cool to see , I’ve started watching a few bushcraft type videos after work to wind down and the last week I’ve been watching your vids. Thanks for the content you’re an awesome guy 🤙🏽
You’re easily the most enjoyable camping UA-camr (whatever you wanna call it) on this platform, actually feels like I’m there with you man. Keep up the great work - sending love from Scotland. P.s if you ever get the chance, do a camping trip in Scotland it’s beautiful 😎
This was great, You were comfortable you were fed and you had a good time. I remember when you slept between 2 big piles of burning logs. And that looked cold, but this is a great idea and something everybody can just carry in their car to have an emergencies. So fun. Be blessed happy new year❤
Love the winter videos but would love to see one where your combined tools your used this vid and last vid with a sleeping bag as well so it’s more comfortable for you and maybe you could increase the number of day you spend in the woods
Hey, saw you on Clay's channel. You’re really lucky to get to spend time with him. I’m so glad to see one of you young Ontario bush people openly embracing hunting, and learning to live off the land. Don’t know how your viewer base will respond, but I won’t miss a video involving game
@@crazyhorsejohnny1974 Duhhh, really? Of course I know there’s hunting in Ontario. It’s not BC. Can you read? There are at least half a dozen bushcrafty type video producers from northern Ontario, but they’re mostly those ridiculous tree hugger, and or afraid to lose tree hugger viewers. Can the internet just let me be happy with something without complaining about something completely irrelevant ?
Hey Xander! I've been binge watching your video's and truly enjoyed every one of them. I have CRPS in my legs/feet so I'm not able to do things that require a lot of walking around anymore. You make us feel like we're there with ya on these awesome adventures. You're so kind, funny and a joy to watch. Thanks for all you do, can't wait to see more. ((Hugs)) from Texas!
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, as usual!! Liked the angle of using the survival kit, great idea!! I think I'm going to be adding the saw to my bush bugout bag though!! Thanks fornthe video Xander, keep doing what you do!!
With the winter coming you should build a quinzhee and make your little cozy room in it for couple of nights ! Did it with friends and it’s really nice. Good job Xander ❤️
"If the spruce gets on fire you know it's dry.." Great video! I prefer summer camping, but it's great to see you do these winter adventures. Any new trips with John coming up ? He is busy enjoying married life, but maybe have some time for you as well.. 😋
The original "Dual Survivor" show's first episode was in Nova Scotia Canada. The long haired hippy guy (who was a guru survivor) made the same fire. I know that Xander had to have watched it growing up. Good job, Xander. You've improved the indoor temperature about 10 degrees from his best (70 degrees F).
Just amazing! Thanks for the lesson, I always overpack not trusting my skills ....your videos helped me try out new bushcrafting and survival stuff and learn some new skills! Thank you!
Xander I know you always look to push your limits, see what you can do, but please always be safe. I feel like going out with untested gear could be dangerous potentially. Just always be safe please, I think mostly everyone watching would agree that is the most important thing. Thank you for all your hard work!
Of course i don't know for sure, but from other videos i feel like when he does this kind of "challenges" he's always camping close enough to the car so he could bail out and come back quickly if needed. He's a smart guy.
@@paquicalabriarubio2657 Cars don't always work, especially in cold weather or on backroads in the winter. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if he had a bunch of winter camping gear in his car just in case. I certainly wouldn't hold that against him.
Awesome adventure Xander, still can't believe how warm it gets in that shelter. Nice job! Looking forward to your next video, maybe Gustavo makes an appearance, or better yet, he does a full video and Xander makes an appearance??
Eats the bark. I love you. Just the right ammout of silly with awesome skills, and amazing views. You do great cinematography as well. Good job my dude.
No matter what bad thing you go through ( and i follow you so i get it ) Dont ever stop your videos. If you come to australia i got good locations to walk and think camp and fish. you help more then you know
Something I learned during my years in the Boy Scouts in regards to Duct Tape is to wrap a bunch around a pen. You can get 2 long strips around the pen, not only does this give you way more tape than those little squares but also a pen for writing or even when necessary to poke holes in any plastic or tarps.
Your funny man chewing the bark I was cracking up. My wife thought I was mental lol 😂. Should do a chop log stack shelter they are really good and work well happy new year bro
Love my hand chain saw, and yes they are very sharp and need to be maintained somewhat often to keep that sharpness. Another great video to watch, thank you!
right on i like how that plastic sheet trick works so well i wouldn't mind to see how it bares in super cold conditions i kind of want to get some plastic for my hunting backpack i do have a few survival blankets that i keep in there so i almost have the makings of a warm easy to make shelter it seems.
Another awesome challenge Xander. You are really stretching yourself lately. That mylar blanket and 9x12 piece of plastic is the emergency shelter I carry and yes duct tape is important. Siberia log fire! Lars from Survival Russia would approve. Nate
Ive watched several hundred of these survival/bushcraft videos, one day I need to get into the woods and see if i can actually make use of all the info up in my brain from all of them
Love the pocket chainsaw! I have been using one ever since the early 2000's. It's usually the only wood cutting tool that comes with me on backpacking trips.
While this winter camp looks quite tempting. I would like to try to do something like this! But sadly I know I would not survive the night. ^sigh^ However I really enjoyed the random yelling in the forest part. 🙃 wishing you a lovely new year Xander and family.
Hey Xander, i just wanted to thank you for making this content. Im going through some stuff and your videos always make me smile and bring this peace into my mind. Keep up the good work champ, definitely the best outdoor camping creator there is:) greetings from czech republic
Keep safe Xander, no fun if you put yourself in danger. I think the hot tent best option. Try the small Russian Bear tent. easy to put up, take down. Ground sheet with zipper should not only keep one off the snow but keep the mice away from you ears etc! hehe
I saw another video where someone stacked logs upwards on an angle, and as they burned they would sink downwards, meaning you can sleep undisturbed! Love your work man
You are the David Attenborough of survival camping: an excellent communicator, teacher and filmmaker, with total respect for the natural environment and a great sense of theatre and fun. Love these videos, have learnt so much. Thank you.
Yeah especially at 16:14 - peak Attenborough

Check out The Steve Show, guys! Solo canoe, fish fry, attitude!❤❤❤❤
This is my favourite type of Xander video. Minimal survival camping in uncomfortable conditions paired with delicious food.
It brings me joy when you thanked the trees for a comfy shelter. You have a wonderful soul, Xander! 🌿💚🌿☺️
Xander - I've been watching your videos for 3 years now. Every single time I watch them I never fail to be relaxed and calmed down, as well as reminded of the importance of being in nature and spending time exploring. I love your content - keep it up!

When Xander uploads, I know my day is going to be 100x better! Love your content X, don't ever change bud... Huge fan here from the UK!
It’s the small tidbits of info like small strokes on the ferro rod and then a big one to light the smaller bits that make this channel worth watching completely though with no skipping.
What a great way to close out this year! Xander, I hope you had a great Christmas with your family and that you have a very Happy New Year 🎉

I hope she got back to it
🤓
It’s good to see you having fun! Thanks for taking us along on your journey. 🕊️
Straight outta dual survival and I'm here for it!
I love the survival videos like this where you bring bare essentials especially when you do a catch and cook instead of bringing your own food!

You crush it every time! Make some stew once. Random, might be hard. Keep being that unicorn!
You are one of a few true bush crafters/survivalists. I love these type of videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Brilliant! My 7 y old daughter reminds me of bringing these two blankets in my backpack when going hiking! Really enjoyed it! Thank you!
This was so entertaining and knowledgeable! Thank you for sharing and please keep staying healthy, happy, safe and warm! ❤😊
That was perfect. Proper nailed it. Everything worked so well 👏👏 best channel on the tube.

Love it. Reminds me of an old school survivorman episode.

Happy New Year Xan. I'm going to be keeping a sheet of this Mylar, plastic, and some paracord in my Jeep from now on. These shelters are amazing.
Your content is top-notch! The way you break down complex survival skills makes them accessible to everyone.
You are a man among men, thank you for continuing to put out amazing outdoor videos.
Xander can't get over how creatively awesome you are 😊 hoping all is well for you and have a blessed 🙏 Happy New Year ❤from Michigan

Wish we had snow like that in England

Always enjoy watching your videos and all the interesting methods you use to successfully camp outdoors with minimal tools. Happy New Year
Xander your show is the best thing ever. I'd love for you to do a 5 day camping trip in the snow and just cook random stuff and build a hut!
Come to NZ. You can walk from top to bottom and camp and hunt and gather along the way . Summer here too haha. Awsome videos dude
I love he kept real about bringing food. No need to suffer for entertainment purposes
Awesome adventure Xander, still can't believe how warm it gets in that shelter. Nice job! Looking forward to your next video, maybe Gustavo makes an appearance, or better yet, he does a full video and Xander makes an appearance??
dude eats better in the forest than i eat at home, holy sh, dude you're awesome
Your uploads are no joke the best part of the day. Cheers man and thank you for what you do. This content is therapy ❤
I was skeptical about the pocket chainsaw but that thing looks like it worked like a charm!
Absolutely love these kind of videos. And you didn't lose your ferro rod like in a video waaay back😂.
I love those winter videos while I´m comfortably sitting in my warm home during night shifts. Thanks a lot, Xander!
Eats the bark. I love you. Just the right ammout of silly with awesome skills, and amazing views. You do great cinematography as well. Good job my dude.
O.M.G. Almost 30 minute video. Happy New Year, Xander and to all your subscribers.

I just cooked my dinner and I see this video, life couldn't be better.

The downslope behind the Siberian log fire made sense to me! Nice video, Xander. Greetings from the Netherlands
I saw another video where someone stacked logs upwards on an angle, and as they burned they would sink downwards, meaning you can sleep undisturbed! Love your work man
Seems as though you had a great time, and yes, far easier to deal with snowy weather rather than a downpour of rain, Happy new Year Xander!
