7 Days Camping and Fishing in Rain Storms

[@brianclarke5783]

Hey what a great video. I/we were the boaters that flew in with the plane and met you guys. Glad you enjoyed the sandwichs. Thx for mentioning us in your narration and it was a pleasure meeting you both. What a well done video with fabulous camera work. Cheers!!! Indian lake is a very special lake for us as well.

Hey Xander, love your videos. Me and my wife have been watching them during our pregnancy with our new born son and we love your name so much we decided to name him Xander. Thanks for all the calming times you’ve given us the past 9 months 👍

[@XanderBudnick]

Congrats on the son :) and that's awesome:))

[@alanmartin224]

watching your videos feels like taking a break from reality

[@tesina21]

Same. Somewhat sad bc nature used to be the true reality.

[@Samsonfs]

I personally had to stop watching because it makes me too depressed lmao

[@danesmith4227]

​@QuellTheHeresy depressed cause your not out there in a wild camping and enjoying nature.

[@Samsonfs]

@@danesmith4227 exactly 😂 it looks too nice

[@terizumbusch8408]

Great video it's so fun to see the different perspectives you guys have. Is both very wonderful!. Me personally I wouldn't mind if you had a little bit longer videos, I know it's probably more work but I like it when They are longer, Just cause I get to see a little more of the trip. Thanks for doing it and including us along. Blessings❤

[@Nicelyy]

Anymore here that love watch this channel when its time to sleep? So relaxing 👍😊

[@RelationshipManagement-p1n]

“You’re like the opposite of a rainbow.” Absolutely classic Xanderism! Keep up the great work!

[@cjbaptiste1]

You are not the only one blessed for being in such a beautiful place with such a grateful attitude, you have blessed many by taking us along for the trip. Thanks

[@Willismcnillis]

God bless you, sir. I go into rehab the day after tomorrow, and my solemn oath to myself is to get back to the countryside and adventuring when I’m out. Your videos have been great company for the last few months ❤

[@XanderBudnick]

Good on you my friend. I'm almost 3 years clean and rehab was a huge part of that for me

[@Willismcnillis]

@@XanderBudnick I didn’t know that! Be well in your sobriety, and I’ll catch up your videos when I’m out ✌️

[@stevebaranowski9556]

Congratulation Xander on your three years sobriety. You are an amazing role model and inspiration. Some day, I hope to meet you in person. You have inspired me to get through some really rough times. May God continue to bless you.

[@natet3345]

You got this, Willis. You're a fighter and a feeler--best of worlds.

Loved watching Jon’s (lost lakes) video. Then came straight to yours. Both excellent. Different perspectives with the same great ending. Kudos

[@bruce9601]

Hello Xander. My wife and I are now truly hooked on your videos. You're so genuine and interesting to watch. Love the fact you're local South Ontario's gaffe camper/ biker and canoeiest. Keep up the great videos, and videography. Well done!

[@AdventuresofMarkyandSparky]

You and John are classic together and your comments are hilarious. Love both of y’all’s channels but even better together 😂

[@larrygorst8749]

Good Lads. Well done. Thanks for sharing. And thanks Xander for being a starting point for my own trip of being sober. Last beer, Feb 18/23. Lost 42lbs., and I am in better health they I have been in a long time. Your right. "It is so good."

[@XanderBudnick]

Congratulations good stuff 👏

[@catherine2522]

You have a genuine talent for making viewers feel like they went camping with you and enjoyed the wildlife and sunsets 👍thanks

This made for a great Sunday! Xander and John on a 7 day adventure, what more could anyone ask for? Thanks for sharing as always bro 🏞✌️

[@FoundPonds]

Found Ponds!

[@michaelhudecek2778]

Awesome!!!!

[@jito7377]

I love your editing. There are parts of the video, where there is barly any sound. You really have to listen to hear a bird or the water. And this silence corresponds so well with your speaking parts. The perfect balance!

[@docabrahammd]

Another great trip, thanks for sharing it with us Xander. Love the back and forth with Jon, but I think my favorite part of this video was the eagle. What a sight!

[@jae4807]

The scenery and amimal/insect life that you captured was beautiful. It's always great watching you and John together, I had to laugh at Johns dog comment, your zest for life is very much like a very happy dog😊

[@allisonwanderland9917]

So generous of you to keep Jon company, poor thing. It’s like charity, really. 🤣

[@Lilianjade]

😂

[@mariegamble5194]

Thank you so much. I'm going through a little health thing at the moment. Your videos are helping me heaps. When my health gets back to where I want it. I'll be back camping fishing... all that good stuff. I'm in Australia, do those dear flys 🪰 bite. We have horse flys here and the bite... bite hard

[@aminameen1868]

Nice activity, nice fishing, nice blueberry, nice eating, nice water, nice place

[@susanp.collins7834]

Nice, hey?

[@terizumbusch8408]

Yep thrilled to see the two of you together again, You are very enjoyable to travel with together.

[@lotusflowerrr]

Great content. Reminds me of that time we (my two cousins and I) borrowed a boat to go explore in crocodile infested waters. Eating guava and smooth paddling into a swamp. Good times. Looking back I'm glad I made it back because I couldn't swim.

[@scoot5395]

ngl one of my favorite parts of ur videos is watching u make food. u used to do rly interesting cooking every episode, it'd be cool if u started doing that again

[@dashybaby255]

I love how you have incorporated fishing as a part of your videos! Thank you!

[@cheryl5540]

Amazing video. It really is awesome when you and Jon get together. You guys are crazy but make for some good watching. Can't wait till you put out another one. I'm glad you had a good time. Nature is a beautiful thing. 😊

[@mattlaureault972]

I had a cottage in bisco and was up there every summer in my childhood. Really cool to see you guys out there!

[@polemeros]

I lived on the East Coast, including 17 years in Ontario, but moved to California 32 years ago. These videos remind me that while California really only has two seasons, wet (aka Fall and Winter) and dry (Spring and Summer), Ontario has four, and precipitation is a regular part of all of them. It's why, of course, the east is so absolutely overflowing with water and why, in drought-prone California, you can go camping in July and not have to worry about it ever raining.

[@Chard-O]

This is the first video I have seen in your library, and oddly, what KZbin decided I should watch. I am instantly hooked and binge watching them ALL!! Thank you for the excellent camera work and production.

[@KangTarot]

This trully a peaceful and beautiful life...

[@Mr._Kobayashi]

such good chemistry between the two of you. Love when you two go on trips together.

[@jannickliche7080]

Nice to see that Jon is doing better. Seemed like you guys had a wonderful trip! Much love from germany!

[@MHarenArt]

Nice to see you out with Jon again. I feel badly for him. That was a pretty life changing injury he suffered. He can still go outdoors, but it seems like he's probably a bit limited. Good thing he has such a good fri3end as you who is happy to do a less strenuous trip so he can save his knee. Such a beautiful spot you found to travel, and as always it's great to see the wildlife that you encounter.

[@lommedepauw9291]

What happened to him?:o

[@justino.bedard6363]

I loved seeing and hearing the loons in this video. Love those birds.

[@aasberg]

48 minutes of pure joy! Ty Xander for this amazing video!

[@jeffvallentine913]

I once asked a man, well known in the SW United States, for a "pearl of wisdom." He repplied, "Spend time around a campfire, it changes people." I'm thinking one might say something similar about canoes...

[@ryanegglestone]

Xander if you see this buddy, I discovered your channel during lockdown and I watched an episode everyonight while I was in self isolation in Australia. Brought me back to being outdoors and I forgot about the room I was in! So thanks for providing people an escape mate. Much love ❤

[@patti3447]

Well young man this is one of my favourites, you have really captured an eye for the camera most beautiful pics indeed ,love the birds and the lovely daisies .. I could spend hours just enjoying your nature shots … you are so very entertaining and very very funny and yes I wonder who Earl is too.

[@nancysadirondackart50]

You two are my favorites - good to see you together again

[@dyordhantv3358]

What's great about your vlogs is that you make your viewers experience as much as you want them to feel as if we are there and not worrying about how financially it would pay off by youtube in terms of making in short and more. Keep it up Xander!

[@Lilianjade]

I truly dont understand certain people who make comments like this - how difficult is it for some people to understand that this content that's created for us viewers is also to help the Content Creators make a living out of it, with all the effort they put into it? Unless the said viewer making the comment is personally responsible for creating that content themselves and therefore have a say on how they want to earn based on that effort , it is best not to make such selfish and unreasonable comments. Appreciate the fact that quality content like this is being put out for our viewing pleasure and stop trying to have a say on how they might earn in turn for their efforts.

[@jackkilgannon1644]

Those shots of the bird was very good xander! Smashed it both you and John 👊🏼

[@RobotRangerGuy]

Yeah, the wildlife was a bonus, nicely shot.

[@susanp.collins7834]

It was a Loon, was it not? Although from South Africa I am an avid bird photographer.

[@zachariasdebeer1512]

The scene of them sitting there killing flies was great. The moment you had one that was wiggling… bonk. Absolutely great moment.

I have an obsession with being in the woods.. it’s so beautiful and peaceful. The trees, water, plants, etc… it’s so dreamy and quiet. It would be a dream to do this.. I just don’t have anyone to go with. I don’t think it’s a good idea to go on my own, especially if Idk what I’m doing. So I watch you experience it. 😅 thank you 🙏🏽
