Not bringing a rain fly for our tent or checking the weather in a storm. We didn’t stake the tent either and the wind blew us into a ditch and we we woke up damn near swimming and left camp at like 3 am. Lucky it was just one night but def learned my lesson after that one.
My facepalm moment involved fishing as well. I got excited about spotting a fish in a stream and wasn’t careful where is was walking. I stepped on my friends rod and broke it completely in half. We shared a rod the rest of the camping/fishing trip. This was more than 5 years ago…still feel bad.
When first watching your videos, I could see the sobriety and appreciation for life in your eyes. I thought to myself that I need to experience this and change my ways. Then one of your videos you stated that you’re one year sober and I broke down crying with you. Thank you so much for doing what you do and motivating others around the world.
Hey man, I'm a little over 3 years sober and clean from opiate addiction and alcoholism but have been dealing with severe depression and anxiety to the point where I haven't been able to hold a job. I've tried all sorts of medications and everything else that's suggested. I recently found this channel and a couple others about bushcrafting and backpacking and to be honest a part of the reason I've been watching it is because I'm afraid I will end up homeless, although it's very informative and relaxing. I enjoyed backpacking when I was younger and always wanted to hike the Appalachian trail with my dad but he died last year so his death has kinda rekindled an interest to hike the trail in his honor. These channels have really helped relax myself and its giving me a drive to get back outdoors. I just cant afford to do what I'd like. Like I said though, there may come a time where I dont have a choice but to live outdoors lol... Anyway, if you're struggling with alcoholism and addiction, you CAN quit and live a better life. I was homeless briefly before entering rehab and there was a time I actually felt safe in jail because it was easier to stay sober, so I know all about how hard it is and I empathize with you. Find a good program to get into. There are free programs, or I think insurance will even cover some stuff, but do it now so you can live your life free of the chains that hold you down. I spent 6 months in rehab and it flew by, and 6 months isn't that long considering it may keep you alive years longer, had you not invested that time. If you have some sober time and relapse, dont give in, get back into detox and start over. I know all about that too as I had around 4 years sober when I was in my early 20's and relapsed because I was celebrating an achievement and thought I had grown up and could control my drinking. Everything I worked so hard for during those 4 years, I lost within a few weeks. I'm not gonna tell you how to run your program, be it AA and NA meetings 3 times a day or just a weekend alone in the woods, everyone is different, but to start off I do suggest some kind of inpatient therapy for at least a week or two just to detox and get over the withdrawals. Lose all the friends and family that you drank and drugged with, and completely change your lifestyle, stop hanging around the same places where you used etc. It does get easier, just find something to keep you busy and keep your mind occupied. You CAN do it, it's not easy, but it can be done and you will thank yourself later, and you'll meet better people who genuinely care about you rather than people who just want to get high or drunk with you. Good luck man, I really hope you can find peace and freedom.
It so nice to see two brothers having fun together. Too bad about the fish, but the lost fish is a memory gained between you that you’ll remember for years. Years from now Dylan will say “remember that fish..” and you’ll both laugh at the memory. The fish isn’t wasted as it will do what fish have done for thousands of years; decay and give back to the cycle of life. Another fantastic video Xander!

That was a fantastic vid man. Loved the deadpans, food, brotherhood, and as always the A+ night lapses. I'm eager to hear how that stovepipe fares long-term. Dylan was a very good sport and you guys handled that moment great. Would've been a nice appetizer for you guys but maybe there's a turtle or something down there that badly needed that meal. The food chain down there will put it to good use!
You guys look like you had a heck of a lot of fun. No worries about the fish, you just offered up a wonderful meal to a lot of other hungry fishes and creatures of the lake. Nature never lets anything go to waste.
Last year I was fishing with my older brother for his first time, and we weren’t catching anything so we decided to move. I pulled my phone out to check the lake map, put it back in my pocket and bent down to grab my rod and my phone fell down the hole. We went from having a great time to just be caught up about losing a dumb phone. Just need to move on and enjoy the moments. Great video
OMG that shot of the stars at 10:50 - totally awesome. Somehow, just before it happened I knew that was going to be the face palm moment. It wasn't entirely wasteful. Other critters will eat it down there. Enjoyed seeing brothers camp together and truly enjoy each others company. Thanks for sharing. Stay, healthy and warm.

Growing up as the youngest of three boys and only being 17, I hope I can have moments like this with my brothers in the future. Thank you for inspiring to have more unconditional love for the fam and to push to have similar moments like these!
I once did the same thing with a trout. Lost it while cleaning, already popped the swim bladder, so it sunk down. Felt like a piece of shit afterwards for killing and then losing it, but quickly realised that the lake would use the fish for its purpose. Learnt to always hook the gills with one finger to prevent that from happening. Thanks for your amazing content and greetings from Germany!
I love that you had the balls to show the lost fish bit. I think a lot of other RU-vidrs would just leave that bit out and not address it. Good onya! And honestly, it won't go to waste, it'd have been food for many other creatures :)
How this channel doesn’t have 1 million subs yet is beyond me. Another incredible video with very enjoyable content brother. Thank you for showing the good the bad and the ugly side of outdoors camping. Keep up the good work and let’s keep that fish in our memories!
This year hasnt really kicked off as I had planned, I have had flu, tonsilitis and a difficult set of exams; your videos have really helped me relax, appreciate it!
Each time you upload, I know it's gonna a be a good day for me. I love the jovial dynamic you share with your brother and it serves as a true inspiration. I always look forward to your wood chopping montage and the nighttime time-lapses, I am never bored watching them (how can you be?). I'm sure that I'm speaking for many others as well, but your endless dedication and incredible cinematography is one of the few things that can keep me motivated in these difficult times. Thanks for the great videos! Cheers!
Just got home from a trip with a family size bag of sweet chili heat...this is just what I needed and I'm dying to watch your catch & release moment 😆 Here we go
You're my hero!! I'm from Michigan and am currently camping/backpacking in Utah. You give me inspiration to keep pushing. Keep doing you! There are so many people today who need this and I'm so grateful that you make content. Keep it up bud. Best wishes, peace and Love, Jordan.

Xander, you inspired me and my buddies to go winter camping last weekend on some crown land in Northern Ontario. Quoted you the entire time and put your tips to use. Standing dead hardwood (with a top) is truly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moments before the facepalm section happened I thought to myself… “ I hope he doesn’t dunk it because he’s going to loose it” hahahah love it man. Stuff happens. Different story if you didn’t have any food.
Gracious, these timelapses are GORGEOUS!! I definitely had to go back and rewatch the wood catch a couple times - it made me laugh. You may not have gotten to eat that fish, but something did. Nature doesn’t waste. Don’t feel too bad. Love the videos with your brother. Y’all’re so fun. 🥰
Love the videos! Little tip for the ice fishing. Maybe invest in some tip-ups so you guys can have multiple lines in the water at once. Just bring some wax worms (they are gonna die pretty quickly in the cold but they’ll still catch some pan fish lol) and put them on the tip-ups. You can do other things and just monitor the flags or even manually jig another line like you have been! Good stuff!
Wow, really great mix of camp life, emotional high/lows, comradery, appreciation for nature and some Steller shots of the night sky/landscapes all in one. Really enjoyed this one.
I was wondering what the Facepalm Moment was gonna be, and then you mentioned wanting to wash off the fish. My immediate words were "Oh no!" 🤣 Such as it is, seems like it was a great trip. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy yourselves despite the cold.
As someone who fished and hung out with my brother in the country, I definitely felt the vibe you guys shared. We had some moments, albeit not losing a fish. But still, nothing really ruins the memories. Great video.
Xander, I must say, I'm an indoors'esque person with an afiinty to AC'd rooms and no bugs... But there is something about your channel that I absolutely love. You manage to make me feel like I am almost there with you. Been watch you on my nights home from South Africa and you've always been such a good time. I cannot wait until you're hitting millions of subs
Xander, another great video! Keep up the good work on your sobriety. Been sober for a while and it is a true gift that keeps getting better! I feel very blessed and grateful.
this is not long for a video as good as this, i rarely watch camping videos, but for some reason i watch this video, as if I was there too. this is awesome!
I love the wood chopping edits! Beautiful nighttime time lapse outdoor shot - wow. The moment you put your hand in the ice hole, I knew you were gonna lose that fish, LOL. You guys sound very similar. Very nice video - looks like fun! Facepalm moment - dropping your drawers as the only car that you've seen in five hours passes by. RIP fish.
I have done that so many times with a brookie! Like a bar of soap. Better to have hooked and lost then never to have hooked. The crayfish in the lake will thank you - circle of life and all.
Something I've noticed is that y'all northerners bonk your fish. In Texas we toss them in the cooler and they get "cold n sleepy". Glad we got a vid this week, and that tent is awesome! Butter fingers :)
So happy I found your channel. Watched so many of your videos each night before bed. So therapeutic and the night time lapses are stunning. All the shooting stars, incredible! Ps. Don’t worry about the fish sh*t happens. Thanks Xander
It’s catch and release, not catch, kill and release 🤣🤣🤣. Oh man i felt that pain and guilt you felt for your brother. The love your brother has for you is immeasurable. You guys are amazing siblings. I look forward to your videos every week.
I love your videos Xander I’m so glad I recently came across your channel! Also props to your brother for not losing it when you lost that fish, can tell you both have a great relationship! If that was my sister I would lose it and she wouldn’t hear the end of it😂

You video was very nostalgic for me because I spent many years winter camping with friends and family in northern Ontario and Quebec. We had a large canvas tent, but a small tin stove similar to yours. One tip.. take the time to break small bushy evergreen branches and weave them into a floor for your tent - maybe two inches thick. Its a dry floor than absorbs spills.
I am Persian and my country has a different climate compared to Canada, but I really like your vibe videos and I have watched almost all of them. Thank you for the high energy and good mood that you convey to me.
Xan!!! The second i saw you go to wash that trout off i said in my head "He's going to drop it!" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I feel for you brother. Good fish story though. It's always the one that gets away...
Great video. & that trout looked like it was going to be amazing but it slipped but it’s fine didn’t effect you guys at all. You guys just learned from that mistake. It happens you’re brother is cool too. Poor fish that was brutal lol
17:00 Happened to my grandpa once. We caught a carp and we wanted to keep it for dinner, my grandpa wanted to clean it off in the river a little after killing it and gutting it out, but the carp decided to swim away. We all laughed and found it hilarious.
Dunno how I haven’t seen this one yet but I’ve been surfing your channel to rewatch and found this gem. Love the casual wood chopping catch. I think you’ve single handily change my breakfast options to bacon and tobasco with a touch of maple syrup from your videos
Hey guys. I dont think you wasted the fish. Life goes on. Other creatures are gona grow from It. Energy just transforms. Never dissappears. Thank you for a wonderful video.
How does one man go from a outstandingly executed axe chop airborne spining palm catch to dropping his bro's trout 🤣 must have been that greasy burrito juice coming back out of his sleeve!
HAHAHA THAT WAS BRILLIANT XAN! I was almost in tears, so funny! Not a total waste, I'm sure the fish will decompose and feed other organisms, to support more life in the lake!

Nature is beauty and beauty is Nature. Everywhere Nature is beautiful in one way or the other. The beauty of Nature has been a source of inspiration and delight to mankind. It is an endless source of joy.
"I am amped. I didn't think you brought all this stuff out here". C'mon man, it's Xander! Your brother! You know he's carrying a feast with him lol PS: The Budnicks can EAT! Definitely brothers.
