3 Day Solo Backcountry Camping | Noganosh

Three serene days spent exploring beautiful Noganosh provincial park. All music improvised on trip.

Oh my god. Max. You are nailing those early morning mists. It's like you're paddling through a dream. And your vid skills, you know how to bring out the best of the beauty that surrounds you. I'm already looking forward to your next adventure...!

[@maximbudnick]

Hey Alan. That's a really nice way of putting it - paddling through a dream. Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy my future videos as much. All the best

[@maximbudnick]

[@RelaxWithDog]

I agree the morning shots are like a dream

[@mflacke]

You are becoming one of my favorite Canoe channels. You capture what I feel and what I'm after when I'm out there more than any of them. And now, you bring out the guitar. We are kindred spirits my man.

[@maximbudnick]

That's a big compliment - thank you, my friend!

[@MHarenArt]

That was a stunning video. What an immersive experience for all of us, to see the beauty that you've shared. That's what it's all about, isn't it? Camping. Seeing and appreciating the beauty that so many take for granted, or never even get the opportunity to experience. It's different than a fishing trip, or a canoe adventure. Just moving quietly from place to place and soaking it all in. Your visuals were, as usual, beautiful, and your own guitar playing was like honey binding it all together. I enjoyed this one immensely.

[@maximbudnick]

Thanks a lot Maggie your feedback and support mean a lot

[@remogelders5203]

I hope that your channel starts to grow more, so you can do this for a living. Really enjoying your videos, thanks for all the effort you put into making them!

The sound of guitar as a background music is awesome and it matches the serenity of the nature. Incorporating a guitar as a background music makes it like a documentary movie I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Makes me fall asleep. Thank you.

This video was such a beautiful watch! I love watching yours and Xanders channels to ease the yearning between my own camp trips. I'm so grateful I found your channel through his, though I must say yours are a bit less.. chaotic.. than his are 😂.

[@maximbudnick]

Hey Chelsea! It's funny how Xander and I have such strong common interests, but such different personalities. I couldn't be as chaotic or half as funny as Xander no matter how hard I tried haha. Glad to hear you're enjoying my videos as well. Hope you don't have to wait too long for your next trip. All the best!

Now that the weather is turning, the guitar can come out again. Really means a lot to hear that you enjoyed it - it can be so easy to be critical of your own music. All the best James and say hi if you see me out there!

I've been trying go decide where to go this year on my solo trip, and had been leaning towards Noganosh. My philosophy and approach to canoe tripping aligns with yours; your video made the decision for me - Noganosh it is. I've videoed some of my trips and know how much work it is, so kudos to you for an excellent production. I don't video anymore - I just enjoy being in the moment.

I'm not sure but I think the first portaging/ backcountry vid I watched was your brother's about 2 years ago. I used his knots a few weeks back. I've watched many more vids from multiple people. All informative and appreciated. I seem to like your take about the most though. your range of nature shots and thoroughness, just the mix , time allocation of the aspects of a trip. But I do like everyone's and the gear tips from people.

What a beautiful trip and video, well done as always Max. And since we have a new video, I've decided to share another fact from my upcoming book "5 Things Xander Budnick doesn't want you to know!" So here's fact #4: We've often heard statements from Xander such as "Spontaneity, such as bringing an acoustic guitar on a camping trip, doesn't really add any character or variety to your camping video. No seriously, trust me, I'm a KZbinr." But in reality, it does in fact help make the video more creative and fun for the audience! Just another fact Xander doesn't want you to know! In other news, I thought I'd pass along a forum post from Xander that I've seen making the rounds, he types: "Hey does anybody know someone who can teach guitar? Asking for a friend..." Stay tuned for more facts in upcoming Budnick videos!
