Love how respectful you are of nature. Little things like pulling the live branch out of the way instead of just hacking it off the tree. You a good dude Xander. Love the vids
You're the master of shelter building & making an amazing fire. You've taught this newbie a lot on what it takes to be prepared for a few days of relaxation. And I love that when something goes wrong you leave it in so we can see that things don't always go the way we play for them to. Keep rock'n man!
We will stoke that algorithmic juice and pump Xander’s channel up to 1 million+ subscribers!!! Every interaction counts. This is therapy for the soul!!
Bro, yet again you saving my rainy day mood with a banger, the food part is like the hotspot of the video and i look forward to each and every, thanks for the camping entertainment Xander, really satisfies an urge 💪🏽💯
What I love about this video in particular is the two second shot of your vehicle in what looks to be your neighborhood. Clearly several homes in the area. It shows that you can live in the city and the wilderness doesn’t have to be in your backyard to enjoy a little getaway. With a little planning and some travel you too can have a fun adventure for a day or weeks at a time to get away from the madness of society. Thank you for that.
This is the first ever camping video of yours that I watched. And now, after finishing all your videos, I'm watching this one for the second time. It is an absolute pleasure watching you do your thing man! I just love the way you appreciate your camping experience, the way you make and enjoy your food, and the way you make people smile with your goofy humour. Yours is undoubtedly the best camping channel there is and I'm gonna be watching you for a long time(in a non-creepy way of course).
Thank you so much for the content you post, Xander. I have done a series of canoe trips, the longest of the them being 50 days, spanning across, Biscotasing, Kiapawa, Algonquin, Quetico, French River, Spanish River, Lake Superior etc. Unfortunately, due to school I haven't been able to head into the woods for a few years. Your videos allow me to reminisce of my time in the bush and bring back memories close to my heart. Thank you once again!
I notice that Xander drops a vid and I’m happy and positive all day, the anticipation of watching him experience the simple act of spending time in nature is inspirational and it’s helped me get off my ass and get my camping gear out.. thanks Xander, fricken awesome!
As an undergrad student in Toronto, your vids have legit inspired me to book some solo 1 nighters in the Algonquin backcountry this spring/summer. Massive thanks dude 🙏
How BLESSED are you?? To have such wisdom so early in life. You are am inspiration to those in recovery!!! I just learned that about you because I just recently fouhd your channel. People i love the most are in recovery. I am PROUD of you Xander.
So enjoying your channel, Xander - when I was a kid, my family used to drive up from Virginia, and later South Carolina to the Grassy River-Mond Lake Lowlands and Ferris Lake Uplands Provincial Park in Ontario to camp for a couple of weeks in the summer. Those were the absolute BEST childhood memories - the long drive up was an adventure itself, driving all through the night. It was Dad, Mom, my two sisters and I, and our dog, Lady - packed up in the 1970 Ford Station Wagon with two canoes strapped on top, Army issue duffle bags and coolers stuffed with food, gear, clothes etc. We’d drive in as far as we could, then tie the two canoes together like a catamaran, one canoe was a square back, and had a 5HP outboard. We also just paddled a lot, of course. We’d load up all of us, and our stuff, launch the canoes, and motor off into the wilds, normally not seeing another human for the next two weeks. We’d fish for Northern Pike, Walleyes, and the occasional Perch. We could only haul in so much food, so we ate a lot of Pike! It was like the Monty Python Sketch: “What’s for afters? Wellll….. there’s pike pudding, pike pie, pike cake, or strawberry tart. Strawberry tart?!! Welll…, it’s got some pike in it. How much? Three - rather a lot, really. Well, I’ll have a slice without so much pike in it. 😆😂😆 We’d pick blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries in season, too. I remember being sung to sleep by the Northern Loons, and the White Throated Sparrows - seeing Bear, Moose, Beaver, Kingfishers, making little birchbark canoes to play with in the water - swimming and snorkeling (in 7mm wetsuits!) Dad and I both caught 32”+ Pike - 11+ pounders over the years, but the best eating were the smaller ones. Sometimes, we’d road trip to a tiny little town, like Gowganda at some point for supplies, but generally not. That was cheating! We camped on the Grassy Lake, and the Upper Grassy River. Great campfires, Dad would build these cool little docks of Aspen and Birch we’d dive off of, and these huge, long swings that would swing us way out over the water! Sometimes we’d take a long canoe ride, portage over a couple of Beaver dams, and go all the way to Ferris Lake for a day or so. I remember harvesting these big brown freshwater clams there, and frying them in butter -mmmm. Anyway, such wonderful memories- this was mid-late 70’s and I was 8-11 years old at the time. I have always wanted to return - and one day, I will. You inspire me. Keep doing what you’re doing!
your cooking skills are getting better, first time I didn't see anything burned to black :) Love your videos, found you last week and already watched almost every one of them. Thank you
A quote for everyone to live by: "I'm gonna die one day, so it's important that I live a really solid life every single day!" Thank you Xander for another amazing inspirational experience.
Hey man! Love the content! You mentioned changing it up your routine a little bit. Which made me instantly think about Cave Camping. I use to go caving where we would be underground for 6-12 hours at a time. Ive camped twice in a cave and its an experience like no other. With good lights and a couple Canadian cavers it would definitely change up the routine. It made me see camping from a different perspective with no sunlight, wood, or shelter.
@@XanderBudnick I live on the east coast of the US so we just go to local ones here. In terms of locations in Canada you could reach out to some local grottos or clubs to see if you could join a trip. You would most likely need a guide or at least two others with you for safety. But only certain caves have a “sleep-able” area.
Army vet here. Put your heaviest items in your pack on the top. Lightest on bottom (sleep system). Your heavy items will drag your momentum back, strain shoulders as you move with it. Having heavier items on top pushes you forward, less strain on your back.
Heavy on top means you have more strain on every part of your body as you are more susceptible to being thrown of balance and or falling over in my opinion. Especially dangerous strategy when traveling alone over slippery surfaces.
one of the best video i saw in a reeeally long time... warm heart, unique sense of humor/philosophy, sprinkle of psychopath in eyes.... big love from slovakia and a subscriber
I'd love to see a map of Canada and all the places you've visited over the years (if you can remember where they are). It's obviously vast but that would be a great way to visually show your achievements of where you've camped/canoed/fished. Thanks for another great vid, Please keep them coming! 👍
He pretty much goes to the same area. Not sure where it is but about 3 hours from downtown Toronto. I’m guessing he hits the Queen Elizabeth wildlands but I could be wrong.
It sounds weird but it’s such a relief to watch your videos especially when you’re preparing your dinner. Your videos keeps reminding me how much I love camping. At the moment I can’t camp because of ACL injuries but I’ve learn lots of things from your video. Thank you for your amazing clips.
It’s so amazing that each video is relatively the same content and yet so unique at the same time. I always watch in anticipation of watching the fire being built and the shelter assembled. Not to mention his cooking content!
Just found your channel recently, enjoy every moment of your video, so real so raw so living! Loving and enjoying every bits of life, close to nature, enjoying food to the fullest! Happiness and to be content is so easy to achieve in life when we go back to the basics!
Love watching your videos..they are so relaxing and therapeutic. Thanks for putting in the extra work to share your trips with us! You've inspired me to go camping..soon 😄🙏🏼
“I’m going to die one day……so it’s important that I live a really solid life…every single day”….. I first found you on Jon’s channel…subscribed instantly…loved that you didn’t take the gear-headed approach to getting out and doing it….I had lost that for a while…those words struck a chord…
Love that he just goes camping all alone middle of know where (sure he actually knows where he is) and just stays the night. I don’t have the bollocks for that, big respect and love
I love your fun take on this. Not taking away from the more serious channels, but I absolutely love the comedic aspect in your videos. Keep up the great work Xander!
I love what you do Did a bit of it when I was your age and can’t anymore . The freedoms sensation is phenomenal and yes time flies faster than we think
Loved the more personal comments you made in the video. I've been binge watching your videos in the last months and since I also started solo camping myself during an existential crisis period, it really hit home. Yes, we will die and that's a powerful thought and feeling putting in motion proper actions hopefully. I really appreciate you Xander and thank you for what you do! I am curious what your plan is for breaking the camping routine though. :)
I appreciate the camera work and edits and time you put into these. When you threw the stuff out of your bag I imagined the extra work for setting up that one quick shot haha
I love the longer videos! Loved the cooking and the camping as always. Phenomenal filming and editing and it was great to hear you VERY appreciative of your job, I could see it on your face. It’s so sick you can do this full time
Solid work! Maybe someday you will take to the trees in a sleeper hammock. The air pad is nice but a lot of work and stress. I'd love to see you, Jon (lost Lakes), and Shug (Shugemery) do a canoe trip together. I love your video edits, thanks for all the behind the scenes stuff. Looking forward to 2022.
Thank you so much for releasing your videos on Monday mornings! This has become my favorite part of the week and a darn good way to start the week at that. I tried that breakfast last week after a sunrise hike with my dog. Epic! Thanks again Xander
@@XanderBudnick Thanks for replying to my comment! Your videos played a big part in me starting this hobby of backpacking/camping. Keep up the great content!👍👍
It's just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you. I myself started making videos about my adventures in bushcraft, so I'm interested in everything. Grretings from Belarus tourist.
I just want to say that you really touched on something that drives me everyday cuz the fact that yes we are going to die someday and it's best to live each day like it's your last and each day to the fullest God bless you!!!
Absolutely amazing videos! I’m extremely envious, I love camping, and I’d love to do it the way you do! I understand your issue with a routine. What if you went to a different country to camp? A totally unknown climate, location, etc. Maybe would be cool! I know I will always love all the videos you put out, I just want to make sure you do too!!!
Another great video, I live pretentiously through the videos you post Xander, some of us can't get around the way you do and it takes me away from the office and busy life. As always plenty of Xander humor in this. Thanx.
That food looked awesome...bet it was delicious...especially outdoors camping everything tastes better !! You cook the best food of any of the other camper videos.
We had twins. Took it all the way to Jerry Springer but unfortunately it turned out that I am, in fact, the father. This comment is how I originally found out that she was pregnant. We used to love watching Xander together. In fact, Xander, will you be the godfather to our children. They're named Alexander and Exandria.
Thank you for adding the camping gear and the links. I'm retiring in 60 days and I really want to return to camping and this is a great place to start. I also want to thank you for the videos, they are such a pleasure to watch.
I’ve been watching from the early days, and all I know is I’m glad I found someone that carry’s the same crazy amount of unnecessary but awesome things I do. Including an ungodly amount of food. Enjoy it brother!
right now im trying to sober up and this channel really helps me getting relax and give me some sort of enjoyment..thanks xander and congrats on getting 400k+ subs...hope this channel continue growing and best of luck to you..
I love your videos Zander. It is like man verses food in the back country. I can't believe you can eat all that food. The food and your sense of humor set you apart from the others. Keep them coming .
I am so impressed by your ability to cook in the woods, that's hard to get those ingredients out in the backcountry. You've inspired me to get outside my comfort zone and try cooking for real on my next camping trip
man ive watched hundreds of backpacking/bushcrafting/thruhike videos you name it. this is probably one of my favourite videos, you keep it real and that calzone looks fire my guy. good stuff! xan da man 😎
Just sitting down to eat some pizza after a 5 day 4 night family car camping trip. We had the lowest temp of 29 degrees Fahrenheit and the warmest of 63 degrees (-1.6/17.2 deg. Celsius). Everything from clear blue skies to sleet to thunderstorms. Lots of good food. This video was the perfect way to end my day after our family's first camp trip of 2022.
Awesome video, it’s funny how you say no one can judge, when I eat in my videos I always get comments from older fellas saying don’t eat on video or don’t talk while eating so I do it more to piss them off lmfao. I also get what your saying about routine. If you ever wanna come my way Catskill’s or ADK and do some hot tent ice fishing trapping or hunting with cooking let me know I break routine constantly
First time watcher. Loved it. That breakfast was legit. This is the best entertainment out there. Anyone else out there enjoying this, lets click the little thanks $ icon and give this man some future menu money. Thanks for the hard work.

YOLO .... easy to say and tough to live it ! Keep going ... you're doing great !!
My 9 year old granddaughter said you have a desert stomach separate from dinner stomach
That food looked awesome...bet it was delicious...especially outdoors camping everything tastes better !! You cook the best food of any of the other camper videos.
Forgot to brush your teeth THIS WEEK? Lol 🙈
Watching ur videos right bevor or while falling asleep is really comforting.
Greetings from Germany
im pregnant
You must have had it by now
😂😂😂😂
Yeah op pls respond. Did you have the baby?
We had twins. Took it all the way to Jerry Springer but unfortunately it turned out that I am, in fact, the father. This comment is how I originally found out that she was pregnant. We used to love watching Xander together. In fact, Xander, will you be the godfather to our children. They're named Alexander and Exandria.
@@ape_zero its a boy
Your videos are pretty relaxing
Has anyone told you that you a bit like young Jim carrey?
Thank you for adding the camping gear and the links. I'm retiring in 60 days and I really want to return to camping and this is a great place to start. I also want to thank you for the videos, they are such a pleasure to watch.
This is you Xan, "Remember that time I poorly cooked oversized steak calzones? well how about I do that again but even more oversized?"
Thanks for making such great content, I love to watch at the end of the day to unwind. Can't wait for the next adventure
This sort of cold weather camping makes me think about how soft i am!
😂😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🥲
At least you know, admitting it is the first step to growing harder
I’ve been watching from the early days, and all I know is I’m glad I found someone that carry’s the same crazy amount of unnecessary but awesome things I do. Including an ungodly amount of food. Enjoy it brother!
It’s so cool watching your videos while I work. Your videos always bring a sense of calmness and happiness to my days. Thank you for posting.
right now im trying to sober up and this channel really helps me getting relax and give me some sort of enjoyment..thanks xander and congrats on getting 400k+ subs...hope this channel continue growing and best of luck to you..
Very generous filming... a long walk back to the camera in that first hiking shot. Nice work! I am finding this channel inspiring!
I love your videos Zander. It is like man verses food in the back country. I can't believe you can eat all that food. The food and your sense of humor set you apart from the others. Keep them coming .
I am so impressed by your ability to cook in the woods, that's hard to get those ingredients out in the backcountry. You've inspired me to get outside my comfort zone and try cooking for real on my next camping trip
Perfect! Thank you so much for taking us out there!
man ive watched hundreds of backpacking/bushcrafting/thruhike videos you name it. this is probably one of my favourite videos, you keep it real and that calzone looks fire my guy. good stuff! xan da man 😎
Beautiful backcountry and awesome camping area! That dinner was super appealing! STEAKKKKKKK oh yeah! Respectful of nature too! Great video!
My favorite wilderness/hiking channel on UA-cam!
You actually take your time with this, not like other you tubers stying the night at some place calling it camping , love the vibe
one of my favorites because of the thought about life and how fast time pass.. kinda made start thinking about it again.
Just sitting down to eat some pizza after a 5 day 4 night family car camping trip. We had the lowest temp of 29 degrees Fahrenheit and the warmest of 63 degrees (-1.6/17.2 deg. Celsius). Everything from clear blue skies to sleet to thunderstorms. Lots of good food. This video was the perfect way to end my day after our family's first camp trip of 2022.
Awesome video, it’s funny how you say no one can judge, when I eat in my videos I always get comments from older fellas saying don’t eat on video or don’t talk while eating so I do it more to piss them off lmfao. I also get what your saying about routine. If you ever wanna come my way Catskill’s or ADK and do some hot tent ice fishing trapping or hunting with cooking let me know I break routine constantly
Very informative and also engaging content, got me hooked after two videos, Subbed !
you are the only one who can make me finish a camping video here in yt! love ur videos
Thanks
Wow Thank you :D
First time watcher. Loved it. That breakfast was legit. This is the best entertainment out there. Anyone else out there enjoying this, lets click the little thanks $ icon and give this man some future menu money. Thanks for the hard work.
I love all you're videos content + love you're appetite 😉+ sense of humor that naturally comes out. keep safe.
