[@XanderBudnick]

Had a little fun with all the music in this. Hope you guys enjoyed it. What do yall think? Go Checkout the other guy's channels: @JimBairdAdventurer @TheRealTedBaird @maximbudnick

Music was really fun, I didn't even notice it at first cause I was so invested in the video but that just means that the music fit perfectly, good job Xander

[@levonlock]

Music was on point

[@scaryjam6823]

Loved the music in this one!

[@steven5040]

it's some real pants poopin music

[@simonhenriksson5246]

Music was great. The "We're just gonna send it" part really hit the spot! You always make such tasteful videography choices. Greetings from Sweden!

I actually bursted into tears when the text came on screen during the dudes monologue about guardians of the north 😂😂😂😂

[@rileyeconomos6424]

This guy truly has inspired me to get back into camping. He always makes it looks so fun and peaceful. He is also hilarious.

[@oliverharris9503]

Cannot explain how good it feels to get home late after a night out and find a new xander vid has been released. Simply the most comforting content there is on YT.

[@michaelhudecek2778]

Agree

[@demo3456]

Its so funny watching the dog. He knows this kid is a good soul and just gives him love. Animals are truly amazing

[@-GeneralAladeen-]

man, I love the dog. Anyone knows what kind of breed this is? Siberian husky or different?

Awesome buddy, what a great trip. I'm looking forward to watching it from your perspective. My video on the adventure will be up Thursday evening.

[@TheBearEssentials]

This video is actually next level. Way to go Xander!

[@XanderBudnick]

Thanks brother

[@Sirshackleton]

I love Xander but I have to say the dog makes it better! That dog is living his best life!❤

[@TheRealTedBaird]

Awesome time with You, Max and Jim. Wicked adventure. Hard to pack more into 4 days than that. Great video and memories, looking forward to the next 🍻🛶🎣🏕

[@XanderBudnick]

Awesome trip man. Looking forward to watching your video

[@comfykruczek]

"Pretty confident that I will succeed, fail or die trying" Pretty inspiring stuff for someone like me, who needs a lot of will power to even try some new things. Made me chuckle a bit too ❤

[@mrcreeper479]

I can’t explain how happy I get whenever Xander posts man, whenever I’m having a hard day, he always makes it better, love you man, keep up the amazing content 🙏🏽💜

[@tberkoff]

I love the dramatic music and the 80s action movie music later in the video.

[@davidmodeland429]

Literally my 4 Favorite KZbin Adventurer's. I couldn't have asked for more.....well okay I'm going to ask for more, Please do more trips with the Baird bros! LOL. You guys are the perfect combination of hilariousness, skills and knowledge, and teamwork. Great chemistry, just a phenomenal and inspiring film. Thanks so much for bringing us along.

[@ZRolfe]

I went to type something like this.. but you’ve already done it ! The videos are always unreal

[@behkettler2222]

Totally REDEEMED yourself right after you were dumped on those long rapids! Glad you manned up and decided to run it. Well done :) Most people I know that have dumped typically won't try any other rapids that day, even if they're way easier. So good for your confidence.

[@m-bronte]

North is so cute, Dog's always know the generous person. 🙂

[@jeremiahallyn4603]

What a great way to start a Monday! I think you did an awesome job on those rapids Xander, and you'll just keep getting better as you take new adventures 🏞🙌

[@Ryan_Dickey]

Man, that ride in the water after your spill must have been something but kudos to you for staying calm and glad that it was only your gear that got a little beat up! I think the music really fits this particular video. As always, thanks for sharing!

[@AndrewBrethourMusic]

Said it before and I'll say it again. You have the best job in the world, Xander. Your videos are some of the best on KZbin!

[@esakarjalainen7084]

Xander you're master of the feel good videos with excellent gang on this one

[@jenspersson8321]

Man, only 24mins! This could easily be 2 hours long and I'd watch it with pleasure

[@AdventuresWithLoki]

One of your most exciting adventures yet Xander! Was glad North showed up in this trip as well. Keep them coming!

[@renalevere6565]

North loves you. Enjoyed this session with you four men. Happy you and Jim are ok from your spills. Thanks for sharing🐞👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🐞

[@Mrlonefighter]

North😍 The only one able to match Xanders silliness, both good boys

[@chrisfleming1064]

Looks like an amazing trip. Always like how positive you are, even when things go wrong

[@TexasViking96]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the amazing music choices during certain time like the epic 80s hero music at around 20:23!!

[@yokoanko9846]

You came back good after first spilled. Failure makes you better. Love the music!

[@Basde3432]

This was a special one. Beautifully lived and filmed

[@starlord7027]

I can’t stress how important Xander’s videos are for my mental health. This is how i wanna live later in life. But currently with school and work and all the other stuff, this gets me close enough

[@fayepotts3279]

Xander, you are a very clever man. You transitioned yourself from winter camping to the wild,wild west, to running the rapids! Great job and you didn’t miss a heart beat. It was thrilling to watch this episode! Glad you are all SAFE!👏👏👏👏

[@doorlopen]

Wow you really stepped up Xander. The music adds a lot. Not too much and not too little, perfect. Good to see you enjoy life.

[@LaLuna2510]

Such a great video! Love the Baird Bros too, and North obviously loves you! How touching it was that he made sure you were alright after you dumped! I swam through a Class IV in Colorado once, and you're right, you never forget it! Keep going! 🙌

[@Myhandle306]

You are one of the few KZbinrs that I watch 100% of the video without ever skipping forward. Thanks for all of the amazing content.

[@collegedad8656]

A video by North and featuring 4 human friends...awesome adventure 👍

[@curedubs]

Loved that 80s montage music part hahah. Awesome trip!!!

[@tmhurley27]

Those floating recovery lines from NRS are a game-changer! The ability to stay tethered to your canoe while floating back a ways and make your way to shore, then retrieve the canoe is vastly superior to the primitive method of hanging onto the gunnels for dear life, risking getting smashed up or even pinned, and trying to drag a canoe full of water into an eddy! (Don't ask me how I know.)

[@nicholasmaxheleau9444]

What a blast of energy to see you overcome your fears and run those rapids! Loved the rawness of Mother Nature, the comraderie and your attitude. Great vid!

[@timothyreid3061]

Max is so relaxed in all the frenzy. Good trait to have.

[@gigatorious]

Xander. My favorite KZbinr. You have inspired so many of us to get out in nature and I just want to say thanks. Hope you have a wonderful year of exploring. Can’t wait to continue to watch your adventures. Stay safe

[@TripleG69]

What an amazing adventure! Thanks for sharing it with us. Thanks for giving Nord so much love, treats and attention. He deserved it. Can't wait for the next trip. Much ❤

[@robbender4129]

Wow Xander...great video. That must be the highlight of your paddling career lol...what an awesome video of you guys running those crazy rapids...all of yous dumped...but hey...that's how you learn bud...just spending time with Jim and Ted would surely make my summer...as I'm sure you made their's...great video...absolutely loved it👍

[@TheTMS726]

Love your attitude towards life mate! Awesome vid

[@williammcdonald4922]

basically a perfect video! wild, rugged and phenomenal weather. great companions and everybody came home safely.

[@JB-px3zf]

North is adorable! You need a dog companion too, Xander! Who else was toe tapping to the sound of the train trestle? What a wonderful beat!

[@mikeduda3085]

Hey Xander, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for inspiring me to get out and explore the great outdoors. Your backpacking and camping videos have been a huge inspiration to me, and I recently had one of my favorite camping trips ever thanks to your tips and advice. Your passion for nature and adventure is contagious, and I can't wait to see where your next adventure takes you. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

[@fenrisulfur666]

That is possibly the happiest dog I've ever seen in my life.

[@metalmohawkmadness]

Fantastic video. SO awesome to see you and boys out there crushing it. Really enjoyed the new music additions to this one, gave it a wholesome adventure feel which was spot on and a nice change up from your usual B Roll music choice. Would love to see more adventures with this group, and any video with North in it automatically gets extra points.

[@peter212]

Already back in Canada canoeing? Wow. You move across country fast. Good for you.

[@rem408]

Wish his videos were longer. Love watching these! The music addition was a perfect choice. Keep it up Xander

[@larryboekeloo5514]

So glad you're back in your element! I've missed the Canadian wilderness. Thanks for bringing us along.

Thank you Xander for making my day less stressed 😊❤

YES!! I was so excited to see another Xander budnick video back in Canada

Absolutely love your content Xander! It was really great seeing the husky in this one, he was loving every minute of it as well!

So great to see your dog North❤. This video is so refreshing

[@waynegilbert7535]

The 30 dollar rapids music was brilliant

[@jimmyr3591]

Great video. You’re very entertaining. The music at 20:30 was epic. The dog was such a good boy. Keep up the great job.

[@ccccarla]

I can’t get enough of your videos Xander! Watching you these last 2 years, I’ve felt like I’m beside you on each trip! Absolutely love your videos ❤

[@WoeWoeWoe]

It’s my husky Eli’s 3rd birthday today, we’re gonna watch this when we get back from our hike, thanks Xander!

[@WoeWoeWoe]

A+ video, your light shines bright, thanks again Xander 🤘🏼

[@patrickbarrett1220]

These videos have turned into true masterpieces in production. Camera quality is amazing, beautiful drone shots, and new music to fit the vibe. Bravo Xander

[@one_eyed_jim]

There's something about these videos that are just so feelgood - always a good watch before bed to have good vibes and beautiful scenery for a relaxed mind

[@bknwuzheer1]

it's insane that Xander wipes out on the moderately challenging rapid then works up the courage to smash the super-gnarly looking (and scarier) one at the end of the day!!

[@jhluth]

A nice surprise to watch this after a long day at work!

[@smcdaid11]

That was brilliant! Awesome adventure. I was smiling at every bit of music, so good 😆 Great video mate

[@kidcollie9117]

I love how hype they get for each other after completing the rapids

[@mayberry1965]

Excellent display of comradery, perseverance and overall enjoyment of fun!! Great play on your added music. At first I thought it was the sound of the train.....creating a nice added cadence. Then I realized it was actual subtle music. 👍👍

Now this is more what I like about you , just incredible trip and the music I think just compliments it all . Thanks for bringing me along !

[@bobdegagne1625]

Awesome video ! Many many many moons ago , when I was a teen, I went on a 2 week canoe trip on the Magnetawan with a youth group I was a part of. There is some of the most amazing scenery I’ve ever seen. Thanx for bringing back some memories!

[@JulienMoll]

I love this video! Very enjoyable to watch the four of you together. Definitively something I hope to see again in future on this channel.

[@PICARDY610]

NORTH LUVS XANDER AS MUCH AS WE DO. ANOTHER EPIC ONE FOR THE BOOKS & SUMMER HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN

[@OutdoorAdventurerME]

Some of the most well documented wilderness adventuring and hilarious commentary. I literally laugh out loud. This is gold. Well done.

[@JVL1988]

FINALLY canoe season. Man I've been looking forward to this. More majestic dogs on canoe trips.

[@RyanWorsman]

Great video mate. Loved how you used a variety of music for this one too.

[@hankhenry15]

I love all your videos, and this one is awesome! I just got off the Mississippi after starting at the headwaters for a week and it was also awesome. Thanks for inspiring me to get outside and paddle! Tight Lines!

[@docabrahammd]

Glad to see you safely back in Canada! The music was definitely an interesting change of pace, but it fit this particular outing. Glad to see Patches back in action too!

[@guillermodelnoche]

Loved the 80’s montage music around 20:30. Great cinematography and storytelling!

[@clovehitch1854]

Great times. Watching again. 24 minutes of enjoyable but sad for me. Dog looks like a brother to my Stryder, made it to 17 just last month before his trail ended. This here is what you call a real canoedog.

[@davewinch7677]

I have a small plaque in my desk that I received back in 1987, for taking the most swims that year. It has a Canadian 1987 dollar coin glued on it. Taking swims is part of the learning process and everyone does it if they are striving to get better at paddling whitewater in a canoe. Well done!

[@Sandra-xg2yl]

I knew you would carry on till the very end. You know,you inspire many young people to just get out there and give it a go. An error is just an error. It can be fixed. Not trying is a mistake.

[@dubemccready7438]

Now thats a boat trip n a half, great following you all as you traverse that river with all it's hidden hazards. Get to the end safely and guide yourselves home with all that is fun cheers guys and the one who finally got to be The Man Xander.

[@HyakuJuu01300]

Amazing cinematography as always, keep up the good work Xander!

[@timcrowley6881]

Glad to see you back out in the woods I hope you enjoyed your vacation

[@asun3630]

So good as usual. Never change!!!! You music is on point always. Content Editing on point! 5stars,I never miss a video.

[@CloudwalkTV]

Man, that was an unreal video, from start to finish. Wow.

[@margoburns9085]

Love your filming style Xander. I paused the video and packed my kayak onto the truck. Thanks for the reminder that getting out there with friends is what it's all about!

[@HerbalTeabag]

there is nothing like the feeling of failing in whitewater and succeeding in whitewater gotta love it!

[@Lee.Moriya]

This makes me so happy, what an awesome video

[@Jabonte]

Xander, I'm glad you had a good trip to the States and glad you made it home safe. Thanks for making my wife and I laugh all the time. Also, I noticed the music several times throughout. The music transition from the trains to the rapids music was 👨‍🍳💋

[@minimanbruton]

Incredibly underated edit. The music transition from the train overhead to the track that came next was so seamless and by most probably goes unoticed. Great video as always

[@CJM2015]

Cheers from the deserts of Saudi. Brings me back to the good old days. Stay well.

[@Sirskibumsalot]

I'm running a 16' ft. Old town canoe for the last 10 years ...I fly fish out of it in still water fishing and paddling standing up . I have a longer paddle to do so and carry a regular paddle as well for paddling if I sit . It was fun watching you guys in the rapids ....I have never been in fast moving water in mine yet . Ok thanks for the video 👍

[@crazyjoelowe]

Your videos are always next level Xander. Patches may have a few new bruises, but she took care of you and that's what counts! Can't wait for the next adventure! PS. You need to get a dog 🐶!!

[@lennartdr7898]

You can really see your progress in the loop of this video, very happy to see that keep it up

[@Sriram-qx9zs]

You have no idea how much you've inspired me to do outdoor activities. I've been watching your videos for quite some time and you make the Canadian wilderness look so cool. You pretty much were the reason for me to apply for an internship in Canada this summer so that I'd be able to come here and go canoeing or camping or anything. I've just come back from a canoeing trip on the Upper Magnetawan River, and it's true what they say, everyone does swim in the Magnetawan xD. Thank you so much Xander, keep making videos and inspiring people!!

[@zw2237]

Excellent, Xander, as they all are... such great skills.
