5 Days Solo Camping in a Place I Usually Avoid 

Haven't posted in awhile but I've been busy tripping and editing. Next 7 day video should be ready for next weekend ❤ (edit) sorry I'm having technical difficulties with the video. I had a render banner in part of the video from editing and instead of cutting it in the RU-vid editor I made the entire video the 5 second clip of the render banner frames 🤦‍♂️ video should be up again in a little bit

Bro, please never stop posting. You have brought me out of a super dark place. Just from the simplistic calm videos that you make. You have given me a drive to get out in the outdoors again and camp and fish and hunt. Thank you for all of that.

Your channel is literally the only one I don’t skip through the video during sponsorship announcements. They seem sincere coming from you, plus we know the money goes towards helping you create epic content we love so much. ❤

Thank you for including the name of the species you encounter. It wad very insightful! I never would have guessed the name Duck-O. The Canadian Crocodile was especially impressive

Love your camera work, editing, and personality! You are so respectful to nature and easy to watch. Keep up the great work!

thanks to you I grew the balls to go hike 18 miles in the ozark mountains solo when my friends got sick before the trip. Thank you for being inspiring. I was fine, nothing bad happened and i had a blast.

33:08 That Crocodile was insane. Extremely ferocious .

Xander fishy feet had me rolling 😂😂🐟🦶

I really love these videos man. As someone that knows how hard it is to both experience and film in settings like this, i'm super impressed with your ability to capture your adventures the way that you do.

14:23 we learn the meaning of the lake lmao

37:10 Ive got to be able to come back to this moment at any time 😂😂

If you stare deep into into the woods you can see Xander solo camping for the whole 5 days. It was really fast but I still enjoyed it.

Ah yes finally. My precious….

My grandpa used to take me on fishing trips to Canada every year for about 10 years as a kid. These were some of my most cherished memories with him and really my whole childhood. He passed away 8 years ago and sadly I haven’t been able to make it back to Canada, but watching your videos and seeing the beautiful Canadian nature brings back so many amazing memories. Thanks for your content and keep it up!

Someone put a ring on our boy I'm very happy for you man please never stop posting videos and taking us with you in places that I can only dream of visiting ❤❤

ever since your 5-day solo island surviving video pop out to me, i find your video very soothing and peaceful. the sound of kayaking, fishing, camping, even setup the tarp really makes me want to keep watching. idk why but i love it. keep doing what you love. thank you for the video.

The day Xander uploads is always a good day.

(23:17) your wildlife identification skills are top notch 😅

Xander uploads and 6mins after i'm once again enjoying quality content and beautiful scenery! it's so nice to see you enjoying yourself no matter the situation, something breaks Xander: smiles, something gets lost Xander: smiles, bad weather Xander: "where?" much love from Finland once again!

"Oh my god... I'm attracted to men!" Cracked me up, I usually have these videos in the background while cleaning or doing homework, Absolutely made me laugh.

“It’s 10 minutes to quarter after 9.” So it’s 5 after 9? lol I found that funnier than I should have I guess !! Another awesome video.

lol the Zander fishy feet montage during your portage was absolute gold 😂

Thank you for FINALLY doing an Algonquin trip. I love this place and you can even achieve the seclusion you're talking about if you go deep into the interior of Algonquin. I'm happy you enjoyed it and don't give up on it yet there are so many gems here even for the hardcore paddlers! And I'm saying that having done the Seal river, Missinaibi river, and the dumoine.

First Maxim, now Xander - it's going to be a great evening watching you both today!

Really excited to see your Yukon trip! I've watched all of Jim Baird's Yukon trips and loved them so it'll be cool to get a different perspective/narrative style on the Yukon

I just recently found this channel and I watch you every night to fall asleep. You comfort and inspire someone in a dark place. Thank you.

I really do enjoy the tranquility of nature seeing through your lenses. Really do appreciate the self- talk that you do to self-motivate yourself. It works! and that’s why your videos are so full of such a variety of great content. Thank you Xander! Can’t wait to see the Yukon!

love to see your videos! they actually inspire me and my wife to take more adventurous trips! keep em comming buddy

I'm Kenyan travelling to SA BY road. Before I left, I was watching your videos on my TV the whole day. 😊😊 now I miss my home so much 😊

I admire your perseverance and love your beautiful footage. Thanks Xander!

I just wanted to say, watching this video this morning has made me super happy, not that I was unhappy, but I'm just excited about life more-so! You inspire happiness and really sucking the marrow out of life. Thank you for sharing your journey, you have a brother for life!

Hey, I from Bucha,Ukraine, and I love so much your content, also I love the nature of Canada. With you, I improve my Yiddish and i like it, thank you for amazing videos!!!

Can't sleep without watching these videos. I absolutely love nature and hope I can be like you one day.

This is therapy. ❤ Thank you.

Algonquin was my first interior camping experience about 25 years ago when I was a teenager and will always have a special place in my heart. It's also so big that despite going a few times it still feels like there's a bunch of stuff I haven't explored. I ran into a moose on a Portage there once lol. My most recent Algonquin trip followed a similar route you took on this trip. Those portages and landings onto the lakes brought back pretty crisp and vivid memories. Always love your videos. Thanks for another great one.

I think that your videos are helping me to love the dorky parts of myself, because I'm finding that my favorite parts of yours are the times when you ask people to chant your name, heckle your friends, or do a skit about being teased for having 'fishy feet' Always keep being you Xander. Your wholehearted silliness and passion for nature keep your videos on my gold tier list

got all giddy when i got the notification, you're an artist bro, these videos are amazing, looking forward to this one!

Can’t wait to watch this! Been a huge fan of your content since 2020

Thank you for your videos. They give me the warm cosy feeling of being around someone I miss very much :)

Nice to see you back in your area. These are the best ones I believe. And it doesn't matter if you did take the same route either. Just love watching anything you do in your ears.

yesss a Xander Budnick vid, these never fail to calm me down and entertain me

Hey, I from Uzhhorod, Ukraine, and I love so much your content, also I love the nature of Canada. With you, I improve my English and i like it, thank you for amazing videos!!! btw Budnick is ukrainian/jewish surname

Hello from North Carolina.You never cease to entertain and leave me in awe of the places you have in your back yard in the great white north. Thanks for doing what you do.

You can't get that kind of entertainment anywhere else. Even if you tried. I love this classy stuff!!

The way you put together videos is so beautiful ❤

What a wonderful Saturday to spend it with Xander😊👍🐟

Hello Xander so happy to see you back on RU-vid, I totally enjoy all your fun and natural beauty also the mud too lol love to watch ..thank you for bringing the outdoor to us ..❤

Great video Xander , always fun to watch , love the fishing , cooking, camping , canoeing, aspect of your adventures , very well executed , thanks again for talking us along for the ride …😉

LOL at the 'yellow tipped jaundice bird' you are the freakin' man.

More mellow scenery. More chilled vibes. Think its now time for an ice cold, (ultra chilled) frapaciano. Gotta keep with the vibe. Edinburgh, Scotland.

Sooo happy to see a new video. Love the scenery, hilarious content, and your meals. I especially appreciate you taking us along with you on your adventures. It looks exhausting, portaging with all your gear, but we're thankful!

You are truly fortunate to be able to liv😂 your dream life. I totally enjoy following along through RU-vid as a 70 year old who will probably never have that opportunity. Thank you.

Good to see you kicking around! Enjoy life

Awesome video as always! Im almost certain I was one day behind you on that route. Ran into Ted and Jim the following day on the Tim. Looking forward to seeing your Yukon adventure! Cheers 🍻

absolutely adore your content. its helped me to get out and explore more of the world and i now cannot fall asleep without one of your videos!

Loved all the trout, moose, geese and loons and the great scenery. Thanks for sharing.

One day, I decided to test my wild theory that canoes could unlock interdimensional travel. I built a special canoe, the "Dimension Hopper 3000," using old radios, a toaster, and a broken clock. I convinced my friend Lila, a botanist, to join me. We paddled upstream to the fog, and I pulled the toaster lever. Suddenly, we were swirling through a psychedelic tunnel, landing in a river with purple water, glowing trees, and bizarre creatures like opera-singing rabbits. "Barnaby, how do we get back?" Lila panicked. After some frantic attempts, we reversed the process and landed back home just in time for her conference. She gave me a look that said, "Never again." But I knew she secretly enjoyed it.

Coffee and maple syrup in my cup and in relax mode watching. 😃

Sure have missed your canoe adventures. All your adventuring is fun but I love how much you enjoy the canoeing and it shows! Your humour makes me laugh and/or groan and is something I have grown to expect! Thanks again for a great trip to watch, look forward to the next one

Finally a new one! I'll probably fall asleep before the end. I'm tired since I've been doing a river canoeing introduction this weekend. Can't wait to go on one of those trips!

Nearly 800k subs! Awesome! Grats man.

ГООООООООООООООООООООООООЛ

Awesome to see you up here work here during the summer season. Spring is just awesome up here

Hey man fantastic video again! Just a small thing but my 4 month old daughter loves your videos. We watch them when she wakes up in the middle of the night and she is glued to the screen. So thanks man for the help with late night feedings!

Wow 5 seconds xander really blessing us with this one

I really love watching people camping.

Nothing short of amazing m. Loved the skit you did lol. Was awesome seeing you meet up with friends along the way. Great fishing as well. Love your cooking also. Looking forward to the next one man. And as always safe travels

Spent my youth portaging through Algonquin….and gave me tons of practical experience for when I moved to Vancouver Island. It may be touristy but it’s still a special place to many❤Great video as usual

High class Italian dishes 😂 love it

Xander, can we get a "where are they now" on Patches? Also the fishy feet scene was amazing

I laughed at multiple parts of this masterpiece. The editing, the shot choices, the pure quality of the video is so good. It inspires me honestly.

Great editing and sense of humour , love the content. Well done again, Cheers from Newfoundland, Canada

seeing you make pizzas got me excited for tonight! Im going to an italian all you can eat restaurant

Look who uploaded a new vid, it's Xander fishy feet

Just wanted to thank you for the video, such a calming piece❤️❤️❤️

You genuinely bring alot of light to a dark day. Keep it up we all love what you do ❤

5:24 average adobe experience

Love the new longer hair 👍 👌

Always great to see a Xander video. Moose sightings were amazing! Rockin' the Crocs lol. Always fun.

Love the shots of the various birds in your trip! Keep doing you Xander!

Let's goooooooooo

Are we gonna ignore the fact that Xander got married ? Or that ring doesn’t mean marriage?

Recently watched a Clay Hayes video, and he mentioned that he watches Xander also. When Clay Hayes goes out of his way to mention you specifically, that’s high praise. Great job Xander! Btw the work you put into filming and getting those amazing shots is not wasted. You should get an award for your cinematography.

Thanks for another satisfying adventure @XanderBudnick. From The Philippines here

Xander Fishy feet lol

xander fishy feet

I watch your videos all the time, and I tell my husband I am in training. Lol! I want to perfect my knot tying, fire starting, camp fire cooking skills. Thanks for the rad videos!

I've gone for my first ever hikes last and this week, preparing for my first camping trip ever (in Algonquin too!). You've been a huge inspiration in me getting out there and going camping myself. The joy and wonder that your videos communicate, as well as seeing your own enthusiasm has been a huge motivator for me to do something new. Thank you, Xander, and a fond Howdy Neighbor (I'm from Toronto as well!) - If I see you around town, I'll buy you a coffee.

Is the video only 0:05 seconds long to anyone else?

Was that a wedding ring?

Yes! The durston tent is the best! Love mine!

binged watched most of your videos recently, so happy to wake up to a solo trip video. woo hoo!!!

Hey, I from Ukraine, and I love so much your content, also I love the nature of Canada. With you, I improve my English and i like it, thank you for amazing videos!!!

First

I love your channel content. This trip was really done well. I like the way you took the time to film the many birds of the forest. God Bless you and your efforts to share the outdoors with us. 👍🏻

Another great video enjoyed every second of it , I love your sense of humour. Can't wait to watch the Yukon video ❤

Looking forward to your Yukon video. I just recently watched one of your Q and A sessions where you talked about possibly going there some day. And you did it! Can’t wait to witness the adventure.

These videos are just so calming.

Love the camera angles and the effort u put in. Keep it up bud💪
