Your dad is a G for leading the pack and still going out in adventures. Never to late to live your life. I’m glad I’m seeing someone’s dad stay true to childhood thoughts.

[@MHarenArt]

LOVE seeing you out with your brother and Dad. !! Such wholesome content, and setting such a good example for everyone about enjoying family and the great outdoors. Suppose there could have been other campers off in the distance and they have a dog?? Maybe? What a great invention was the personal drone!!!!! Incredible shots of the mountains and lakes, and the ride home!! Super! Stay safe and warm you guys!!

[@This_Earthly_Tent]

God, that was exactly the wholesome, cold-camping content I needed today while it's 42 degrees here in Sydney. Thanks Xander!

[@SkiitZ]

Feel you there! I’m near Bankstown and holy hell… horrible today but this content topped the day

[@timwagner9170]

This was by far the most interesting winter camping with 3 men I have ever seen. The scenic views. The headlight pirouette s at night.on the ice, The barking coyotes, the slush, the drone behind car. The tire chains? ,wood splitting, nic egg 3 man tent. It’s neat getting water the boil from the lakes. I wonders if the water was backed up by a beavers to drowned all the trees in the swamp.

[@FriendlyKat]

Wolves can bark like dogs. Dogs actually evolved from Wolves, so it's entirely possible wolves can bark. The howl gave it away. Those are wolves. I wouldn't worry about them because they're more scared of you than you are of them. Also, this is the life. Amazing food, amazing friends, and a nice warm fire. What more could you ask for in life? What I would do to have a moment in the snow like this!! It looks so cozy and fun! Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@dbz9393]

they are very timid creatures contrary to popular belief. They would sooner go look for an easy meal than mess around near humans.

[@ZackeTheBrute]

Depends if you have a dog with you, they like tricking dogs to follow them then eat them. Incidents where wolves attack humans are rare as you say though.

[@stephaniemcbroom9615]

Love this video...nothing better than a father and his grown sons camping together...make those memories that no one can take from you....very special Xander. ..thankyou...😊

[@dalbert4991]

Thank God, I'm a country boy...brought a smile to my face! Enjoyed this one.

[@Brentdarley]

It's so cool that you and your brother can do things like this with your dad. You are lucky men!

[@34bf7hdbf]

Xander your work just keeps getting better and better. The art is really developed and you keep reaching for new places. So happy for you. And for me because I can’t get enough of your adventures and never miss a video. I like the dad and your brother videos. Seems like such a great time. Keep bringing him out because he’s dope. Rooting for you always buddy. You make really great art.

[@XanderBudnick]

Thank you so much!

[@sallypaisley4274]

What perfect memories you are making with your Dad, something you will treasure forever!! Loved your country boy song, lol!!

[@kylemaplesden4547]

Love the comaradarie in this one. Nothing better than spending time in the woods with those who know you best! Makes me want to get home (I'm Canadian but live in the UK) and get out there in the winter.

[@jeremiahallyn4603]

I definitely see where you get your sense of humor, Xander. Your dad is a pretty funny guy. Great video again, that place was very beautiful ❄️😁

[@ritawilson8762]

Ugh! Now dad's song is stuck in my head. Lol. So good to see papa out enjoying camping with his boys. Great video. Thanks!

[@DavidJones-ly9bh]

You Budnicks are very special people...by enjoying your lives ..you help us ...to enjoy ours..🫎

[@jingliu8291]

I grew up in the northeast of China. It was very cold, the early life taught me to be tough and endurance. I think that is why people like to watch the KZbin channel like yours. To enjoy nature and adapt ourselves with nature and appreciate the nature that God created.

[@CanadianSledDog]

Best way to light the stove, by far, is to fill it right up with pine twigs and branches, which light crazy easy as you know, the flash fire will heat up your stove and chimney creating a proper draft, and you can then load your logs on the coals from the branches and it should be as easy as it ever is.

[@michaelkennedy8270]

One thing I've learnt from these videos is that Xander can saw and chop wood faster than anyone else alive.

[@kay20gators12]

This is one of my favorite things about his editing 🙂

[@scottyplug]

Your dad is a gem. How awesome was it to listen to him read the Meditations? I'm super impressed with his physical prowess and his joie de vivre (look at this Yank dropping some Francais on ya!). I lost my dad about 18 months ago. This video made me miss him, but also made me so happy to see you guys share your passion with him. Do not take this for granted (I know you aren't, but it happens so fast). Love your channel. Can't wait for the next one. (ps said the same on your brother's channel : )

[@davidhuth5659]

Yes, wolves bark. Thanks for asking and have a great day. :) Great trip BTW! Thanks for sharing!

[@rasputin7633]

Fun fact, wolves do bark! Usually in very short bursts and not near as often or as loud as your typically dog would. It’s worth mentioning that it is also fairly rare for a wolf to bark. It usually precedes a howl. Hope this answers your question.

[@kimkimba1131]

We are at 2 degrees F, feels like -9… It has warmed up 😊. Went out to warm up the car for hubby to take to work. Came in and here you are in the cold and snow. Glad to see you are not alone on this trip. Having quality time with others makes special memories. Good thing your vehicle started after sitting out in the cold those few days. Loved the star gazing. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@josephsharp9939]

@XanderBudnick I came up with an idea to standardize your coffee/hot cocoa measurements without adding weight. Take the amount of cocoa you generally want to use and put it in a ziplock bag. Seal, and turn the bag upside down so the zip side is down. Shake until the powder is fully settled. Use a permanent marker to draw a line to mark that. Now whenever you want to portion some out, you just have to fold the bag in half, flip some into the top portion until it’s at the line, and bing bang boom. :)

[@josephsharp9939]

And when you’re ready to pour it out, just twist the bottom part of the bag shut!

[@robbender4129]

Great video Xander...always love to see your dad out with you...he must be stoked to get out in the bush with his boys and enjoy that great food...great video👍 Take care guys ✌️

[@craigkibbe1506]

Hi Xander! Really enjoyed this one! Thanks for sharing! This is what I know on the barking. Wolves do not bark. buy Coyotes howl and yip primarily to communicate with each other and establish territory, but they may bark when they are defending a den or a kill.

[@scarletandseth]

Let’s go! Any day Xander uploads is a good day!

[@kentuckyhiker7071]

One thing I can say about your adventures, is that you ALWAYS have some good eats!! Thanks for sharing and keep the vids coming!!

[@rizla2000]

It’s the middle of winter here in Australia and your videos are just what is needed to give me that sense of comfort and warmth

[@fayepotts3279]

It is a beautiful thing that rugged men can do tough adventures with such ease and make it look so enjoyable. Yet still be able to cook a four star restaurant meal. I could taste and smell those delicious steaks!😊 Heart warming to see the love and respect you have for each other. Thank you Xander for posting.

[@seaknightvirchow8131]

I have been watching a lot of winter bush craft the last several days. I enjoy all of them but they have a lot of sameness. I really liked the way you guys did this. Two bros and dad in a large tent with stove. That’t the way I would do it if I were young again. Great video.

[@sara-eo4cu]

Toyota needs to buy your footage to advertise with. It’s beautiful watching the vehicle plowing through the snow.

[@mikewrld]

Wow, what a trip. Pound for pound this is one of the best KZbin videos I’ve ever seen. It just hit all the spots. Inspired me to get outdoors even more than I already do and to keep my loved ones close. Congrats on a great trip and your continued KZbin success Xander.

Love seeing you guys out with your Dad. You're fun together. As for the bark/howl...wolves can bark, though they don't do it a lot. That howl to me was definitely wolf and not the manic howl of a coyote. Thanks for your videos....can't wait for the next one.

[@heidisanders7694]

Xander, I’m so excited too see you shop your local butcher ! Awesome looking meat from a butchers point of view . I love your vidoes and the cooking always gets me ❤.. looks like some prime New York strip you cooked . I and my husband own a old fashion butcher shop here in New York .

Wolves make a combination of different sounds. Barking is one of them in combination to howling. barking is a way that they use to alarm others of danger in the area.
