My favorite parts are always when Xander cooks and enjoys his coffee + breakfast. You can see the true joy on his face. :) Keep up the great content, love your stuff!!

First time commenting on you video. It's so relaxing. I was watching only Joe Robinet in terms of bushcraft but when I discovered yours, I now prefer your vids (both joe and you are awesome) Thanks on sharing your trip with us. ❤️🌿🌲🍃

[@badkarma7480]

yea. im wondering if i like to watch xander even more because he's more my age than joe

[@Wakeupmrwestt]

100% can agree. I tend to stick with Joe and Xander for bushcraft videos. They never disappoint!

[@Evan_Le5]

Gotta love em

[@KelJayP]

Do not miss the Northern Scavenger channel ~ especially the recent 12 or 15-part Crossing Labrador series. And also the beast brothers at Jim Baird's recent 24-part series Over the Height of Land across northern Manitoba. Brother Ted also posted his perspective. Both unreal, with awesome whitewater skills! Yeah, poor Joe is a lightweight vs these guys, but for now, I'm sure he accepts that. They are all good buddies :o) Finally, Jon who is on this trip with Xander has his Lost Lakes channel that is always great, with a lot of Lake Superior footage.

Oh, the river has passed through the place safely. Thanks for inviting me to a nice place, my friend...

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Great video man! That was a trip to remember for sure. Can't wait until the next one with you boys! I'm amped.

[@XanderBudnick]

Awesome experience man. Can't wait for the next one:)

[@Gunner-down-under]

Best time of the week bro

[@skmarrama]

We did a lot of white water RAFTING in Alaska. Saw a lot of canoe bones. You guys handled it just as we did 40 years ago. Of course rafting is way different and harder to steer. It’s nice to see you on an adventure with buddies! So much fun. Loved how you guys stayed together, analyzed the rapids, kept safety first. It brings back a lot of fond memories and good times.

[@experimentalsurvival7142]

What a ripper! Looks so cool riding the rapids!

[@lucidtvrtle]

"It's 10 minutes after 30 minutes until 10..." This gave me a chuckle

[@marcellcurpas5161]

I could watch this all day dude!

[@ayeoh47]

We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again. This is the content pushing the boundaries of therapy. Amazing wholesome adventure. Please never stop.

[@klychannel8888]

4 days camping and boating was amazing but also very dangerous. Good luck to all of you

[@robintheoutside]

NO FREE RIDES ... i died 🤣great video, really enjoyed this one. You guys must of had a blast. Thanks for sharing this one

[@deannaseguin4342]

Im impressed with the fact that you guys are very cautious and watch the river and portage when you feel its beyond your capabilities or too dangerous . Nature is unforgiving, one wrong move and its over. Be smart and come home safe so that we get to enjoy your content for years to come!!!!

[@JB-susti]

Very cool Xander

[@struck7976]

i cant explain it but the song/music you use in those drone shots just sort of puts me in my place. im really here im really in this world. i have so many memories and regrets and it just all flashes when that music comes on. its bitter sweet

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

The best channel on KZbin to relax with some good food and a beer 🍺 fantastic trip guys thanks for making such a great video 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@hikesome]

Best Burnout you ever had I guess ;) Looks like another great adventure Xander. Always cool to have a crew that is ready for a bro trip. Good and fun times outdoors are the best. And best cheat what John did in the beginning, just let the river take you downstream 🤣 Stay safe out there. Cheers, M.

That as an awesome river- rapids trip! So glad you took good care of John, he just got engaged. Wouldn’t want anything to happen to him before the wedding.

I do enjoy the drone footage inserts with the surreal music tracks playing over top. It gives us a great idea of space and how small we are compared to that area of land.

Great trip Xander. Always nice to see you with Jon. I've been hoping you guys do another 12-14 day canoe trip. This definitely wets the apatite.

As a person who used to live in the PNW and now resides in Arizona, watching your video gives me a calm and reminisce about the great times I had in the PNW. Might move back one day in the future and go back to my root of exploring the forest/environment.

Dude, big fan. Watched you and John for a while now. Really helped me emotionally and mentally get through the lockdown. I work at a hospital in supply chain. So it’s been a rough few years. I get a lot of hope and inspiration from watching you and John. So I feel the need to say thank you. Big fan of the 3 Amigos on this video! I would love to see the 3 of you do more whitewater trips. So cool man. I love the 2 really epic shots of all three of you guys paddling alongside. It was a fun shot and looked fun. Cheers Xander, I hope you keep exploring and sharing with us all. I can’t get enough. Deano

I need to stop coming on youtube when I am supposed to be doing work or homework. C'est la vie! It always excites me to see you, Jon and Brad on a trip together. "Rocks and Canoe are bad!" Omg that comment killed me, you guys are hysterical. I can't wait to see Jon and Brad's takes on this trip.

[@MicajahMcCurry]

As a Whitewater kayaker, ya love to see it! Enjoyed every bit of it. Given the rapid size, speed isn't going to help you as much as being point strait into the rapids. Focus on just keeping the boat pointed downstream as your plan for success.

[@lucaspentland-hyde3333]

“Nothing wrong with a bit of sausage on a Friday evening” Amen to that

[@TheCanadianBeaver]

What a fantastic adventure Mr.Budnick. I have never heard of that river before and now it will be on my list of rivers to paddle. I love how you were able to take footage of you actually doing the rapids and it felt like I was there with you. Great job and I am very impressed if that means anything. All the best Xander and always remember to follow your nose! 🍁🦫

Great video man. I myself packed up the truck last Friday and drove from Ohio to St George, Utah for some hiking. I'm not camping because I'm a rank amateur but I'm still getting some amazing photos. Thanks for being an inspiration.
