That cow was nice to show you the way. 😅
Holy crap!!! I'm not claustrophobic...or at least I didn't think I was...but that canyon really weirded me out!! Thanks for the great video...beautiful landscapes!!!
well, as someone who IS claustrophobic, I had a real hard time watching this LOL . . .
That’s virtually the definition of claustrophobic.
Beautiful. Terrifying. Awesome. Equal parts "yes please" and "nope, thanks".
Cool hike and great video as always, Xander.
I got so excited and legit started jumping in my chair, seeing that Xander Bander uploaded a new video. It's a real treat to follow you along and share a little part of your adventures. Please don't stop making videos! Thank you!
glad to hear you love the content :D
Lol relax buddy, damn
I came in my pants!
@@bagster60able 😂
How awkward would it be to bump into people going the other way.
There's a set route and your only supposed to go around the one direction. But yah that would be awkward
@@XanderBudnickthose beautiful caves 😍😍. thanks for continuing to bring us awesome content 🙏
Wow, that was intense for someone like me with claustrophobia. I was worried about ya there for a minute. Even though I'd never go through something like that, it sure is a beautiful spot in this country ✌️🙌
All those angles must've taken forever setting up and going back and forth. Amazing work as always.
I actually had to fast forward through part of this because I felt claustrophobic. what a strange feeling. you're a brave soul Xander. You do take chances that I wish you wouldn't though. enjoy life and stay safe my friend.
Really happy i found your channel. I struggle with my mental health, and when my depression takes hold, i have a tendency to want to disappear in to the wilderness. With a wife, 2 kids and a full time job, I cant really do that, but your videos allow me to have the experience vicariously. I hope one day to follow your path on some of these adventures!
Hey Xander, first of all amazing content as always, then i wanted to suggest a video idea that might please a lot of us, I'm talking about a video of your prep for the longer adventures, like the 10 days in the winter, meal prep, gear, planning, this kind of stuff, I think it would be really cool and helpful for us :)
And dehydrating your meals. Like do you just put your loose chili on the dehydrated ??
Wow. I held my breath Scarrrry! Brave guy. 🙌. Awesome video. Thanks for taking us along💐
Ha, I can only imagine trying to film yourself through those tight squeeze canyons! As a tv producer I really appreciate the extra effort to get the shots! Not to mention how many scratches you probably got on your gear...and yourself! Thanks for the video!
WoW!!! Brave soul hiking through the canyon. Amazing video, thank you for the comfortable arm chair views
Crazy stuff, I'm slightly larger than you so I would get stuck and die down there.
Never, EVER, would I have gone in there! I just about lost it, just watching you. Hats off to you for your spunk!
This guy's nuts. Keeping the camera and again going through the same place.
Only respect 🙏🙏
I live in Northern Arizona on the Navajo Nation & these parts of the Southwest are so familiar & spectacular! The landscapes are panoramic and sacred. I am enjoying your visit and watching your adventures with excitement. Enjoy & be safe.
This brought back some crazy memories for me! My parents took me and my siblings down there and we hiked PeekaBoo and Spooky slot canyons. I remember it getting reeeaally sketchy and I don’t know how my parents kept their cool getting all of us young kids through but we made it through!
You have cool parents! What a blast you must’ve had!
Man-o-man, this triggered my claustrophobia. I almost had a panic attack in my own living room. The outdoor cooking, calmed me down.
I so envy you Xander. My life is dogshit and it feels like I'll never be happy again. But watching videos like this reminds me that there are things worth working towards. Thank you for making these videos Xander.
The cow part was funny. I like your sense of humor 😄
The cinematography/filming of this vlog felt like 127 hours sketch ! Great video as always
‘Why did I pack a lunch’
‘This is a choose your adventure sausage’
😂❤
Thank you, Xander, for 11 minutes of SHEER TERROR.
To be fair, I knew what I was getting into and watched anyway.
Today I learned Xander has the power to speak with animals.
Welcome to my state, Xander. I'm 40 and it has never ceased to amaze me when I go exploring
I live in Denmark, it doesn’t get any more flat than that 😄 I love going on these hikes by the magic of UA-cam and your effort 🙏
You've never been to The Netherlands, or to Belgium, have ya?
@@japoc Nope. Have you been in Denmark?
Agreed! Traveling the world via UA-cam
"🎶Dumb ways to die 🎶" rolling through my head as I desperately gasp for breathe the whole time lol So glad you made it out of there! Thanks for sharing this adventure 🥰
Such a cool and spooky place! How beautiful it is. Those fries were beautiful, too. Cattle were a little rude. You knew they were cattle, right?😊 Thanks again for taking us along.
The "let's set this thing up" chop was right on point. Impressive, but we do not grant you the rank of Master.
That is a crazy & beautiful hike. You did look a bit concerned at times as I think I would have been as well.
Nate
Yes, my favourite type of notification! Love your channel Xander
Man these videos are hitting home…literally. I MISS HOME!
Narrowed off quite a bit in the canyon there Xander..! Great vlog, appreciate the efforts always. Cheers mate.
Your trek through the narrows made my palms sweat. Excellent video, Xander, thank you. But brother, what unsociable cattle!
My anxiety was thru the roof during a few of those tight sections!! I would love to do it, but only if I knew there was a 1000% chance of coming out on the other side. Great stuff, as usual, Xander! Cheers!
Oh my goodness!! My heart was beating so fast like I was there!!!
Those camera angles were amazing!!!
Xander it’s exciting to know that you’re experiencing a new environment and I can’t wait to experience the adventures this trip will present. It’s always enjoyable to see you actually being human and experiencing claustrophobia! Please note that the only viable contribution to food in Utah is Fry Sauce.
I think it's the combination of how curvy it is (unable to see fare ahead or behind) and those little bumps on the walls that make it feels so much worse for me. I'm not claustrophobic, but there definitely is a touch of unease watching this.
Awesome video as always
This looks so stressful and beautiful at the same time! Love your videos!
Kept me at the edge of my seat biting my nails the entire time through the narrow rocks!
9:50 fancy sauce, mm yes quite. pinky came out and everything 😂😂
Ketchup and Mayo, great with prawns too. Another great video Xander, braver than me going through there.
Well that was stressful watching. Glad you made it!
Honestly I think it was more stressful to watch then to do it :p
Man I love these videos. I'm from Toronto and I love all your canoe/camping videos, but these are on another level. Camping in that setting is amazing and I hope you do more out of province. I still love Ontario though and always will.
Freaking awesome Xander! And terrifying! Utah makes me think of the book the Monkey Wrench Gang - those canyons and gullies are so amazing. Glad you came out unstuck!
Just went to Kolob Canyon in Zion, Utah. Great place for just a day hike or a multiple day backpacking trip. Highly recommend it. Stunning rock features that I can’t even wrap my head around
wicked video bro appreciate the time and effort you put into them im not sure if people know but you had to place the camera down and re walk the narrow gully epic work
Xander: Hey guys, watch me traverse this narrow canyon!
Claustrophobia: Hold my drink
Thats such a tight fir lol. I wouldn't be making it through that's for sure. Another amazing vid capturing another fantastic location. Xander as always thank for sharing. Looked amazing.
Aw man, the amount of anxiety I had watching you crawl through those narrow spaces 😅 glad you’re safe. Thanks for the vid!
Xander at some point you can see the fear in your eyes.. You are crazy but exiting ❤
I started mixing Mayo and ketchup when i was 7 years old cause i just thought to do it. I've always mixed stuff together I'm 45 and i still do it. I never knew it was a Utah thing. Sht i live in Florida. And i can't believe anyone would attempt to slip their way through that canyon. You're a true adventurer. Love your videos especially the winter camping in the extreme cold.
I would be literally screaming in sheer panic with full-blown claustrophobia. This was so difficult for me to watch. Fox bless you for being the brave soul that I am not.
Such an amazing journey to follow. Thanks for bringing us along!
Life is extremely hard right now. Lost my job, went from making 45$ an hour to 18$ an hour, bills are still based around that 45$ income. Working 160 hours a pay period to try to stay on top of things. Got cheated on and am finding myself exiting a 5 year marriage with a two year old son. Moved into my own place. Life is extremely quiet, and I can’t really get out to enjoy the mountains which I relied on to make me happy, so these videos allow me to get out in a way. Things will get better as long as I keep moving forward, I appreciate the content, showing off places without shoving ads down our throats. Your great, keep up the awesome content. While I may not be able to afford it at the time being or have the time, i can’t wait to get back out in the mountains.
Dude you are a hero...! I think this is the canyon that a hiker got stuck and lost his hand , stayed for 127 hours... Also a movie!
Wow 😮
So claustrophobic!! Panic and anxiety were setting in as you went through there.
Love those long vistas. Thanks for taking us along.
Amazing video, Xander. The trip through that canyon was both beautiful and scary. Hope the change in scenery has been as exciting for you as it has been for us viewers! Cheers from Toronto!
Always great to talk to locals!
Ketchup or tomato sauce and mayonnaise alongside with Garlic and onion powder makes a great seafood dipping sauce
I know how hard is to capture good shots in canyons, amazing video Xander !
Dude, the amount of work you had to do to get those shots...I'm always impressed but this one takes it to the next level.
That area lived up to it's name, Spooky! I was seriously claustrophobic just watching you in that cavern area. Here in Nor Cal we call that secret sauce, so yummy!!
Hey Xander ! You are extremely wonderful, thanks for these lovely landscapes.
This video gave me 127hours kinda vibe! Great video Xander good job man
WOW! Spectacular footage! Those canyons are wild!
Beautiful scenery, crazy hike
Amazing and terrifying at the same time. Great fun
so glad to see u enjoying my backyard!
Xander you kill me with your humour. Love it.
Also my palms got so sweaty in the canyon... so well done on that one.
So happy you're in Utah, I love Utah I never will see it or hike it but I really enjoy all the people who can and do. Thank You for sharing your experience in Utah to me it's the most unique state we have.
It's so beautiful out there, the way nature has been shaped by the elements is amazing. I've stopped and asked cows for directions too, they're not the best at conversation 😅
Another GREAT video Xander. Looking forward to seeing more. Just found your channel, watched all your previous videos here and big now fan. All the best from Steve in the UK 🇬🇧 👍
Not in a million years would I do that! 😱😱😱 You are a brave soul Xander and as I ,mentioned to Max, thoughts on Aaron Ralston were racing through my head while you were in there. Thanks for jacking my heart rate up to 200 or so 😉 Be well, B
Yeah! Who needs cardio after that? 👋🇨🇦
Idk why but that little gag you did when you said "Looks like I won't make it in" just caught me so off guard and now I keep laughing when I think about it
Great video as always, thank you for sharing these journeys with us and inspiring many others to seek adventure on their own! You're a huge inspiration for me!
Amazing, Glad you got out.💜
Awesome as always, yikes 😬 😳 I wouldn't have been able to make it through there. You're petty brave. Have five for not giving up.
KEEP ADVENTURING
GOD BLESS YOU
This video legit gave me the "127 Hours" vibe, sheeesh XD
Creepy, crazy cool! Again, wet stone is amazing! Ans rain is dangerous as hell. Even heavy rain miles away in the mountains. I'm sure there were plenty of warnings about that though. Finally a hike where being narrow is a good thing! I had never heard of this particular slot canyon, that I remember...😂
Those potatoes look so good! I want to make them with sweet potatoes! 😋
This must be the first time I felt terrified watching a Xander video! That narrow canyon was crazy, looked outlandish in a way. I was afraid Xander would get stuck or bruise an ankle or something there, but glad he's okay. Should probably not go there alone though, incase anything happens.
Now that's very narrow area to get through, great answer you got back from the animals, was a great video!
I was actually thinking exactly the same thing as some of the previous comments, I see that you have a new video and I get excited to watch it because I’m super enjoying your newest adventures! Keep it up, and keep cooking some cool stuff, I love the food aspect too!
I just love your videos man so chill ❤
I truly love your videos. I’ve been watching for a while now and you got me back into camping 💚
I got sweaty palms watching that!
Thank you for another brilliant Video ☺️ x
Much love form Greece,keep up this perfect content!
Wow! I can't believe you did that! Good thing you are not claustrophobic. Nice rock formations and colours but just so glad I can enjoy this from the comfort of my home. I'm such a chicken!! Keep up the exciting adventures!
You are so good at this. Thanks for sharing. We love Watching all you do. A true inspiration❤
That waa An amazing formation nothing. I would ever see in person but I appreciate that you pushed yourself through it so we could. Just incredible! Thanks so much enjoying your trip to the southwest. Blessings From the grandma in portland oregon.
I think you’d really enjoy the Appalachian mountain chain ecosystem. Sooo many species of trees and flowers (I believe the most of the varying climates in the USA) and therefore tons of wildlife to see. Native Brook trout are also found in the higher more isolated areas so they are a hidden gem up in the mountains for sure if you like fishing. I find it to be almost rainforest-like in certain places.
Incredible video! Found you through lost lakes and glad I did
Really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing 👊
Amazing video, just AMAZING. When you were in the canyon i had a tought about the movie 72 hours. You are a incredible, continue to make us see those great experiences. Stay safe Xander
It’s funny you say that because that actually happened near there in Moab Utah I believe!
Though I think you meant the movie 127 hours
It was blueJohn canyon that the events took place in the movie, which is another slot canyon about 4 hours west of where this video was filmed(:
@@rhuarkk2138 you are right my mistake
Beautiful, very nice to see such a good video and educate yourself
Dude love your videos!
lovely video man, keep with this great work
Great video. No lecture (this time-lol), just a fact; I knew someone that lived in the American Desert for a few years. He said locals told him to always shake out his slippers/shoes before sliding his feet into them. One morning he did exactly that and a Scorpion fell out onto the floor (and they were inside the house). I'd hate to see anything bad happen to you or your brother, you obviously have a very special bond. Happy trails X & M...
