So I watched the jungle episode (more like movies from this guy), then Snake River, and now I am watching the solo island movie. First off, I have to say how much I appreciate the sheer effort that goes into your filmmaking. It's easy to forget that for every mile we see you traverse on screen, you've likely covered much more ground setting up and retrieving those cameras. The logistics of managing all that gear in such challenging environments must be immense. So thank you, for your dedication to capturing these incredible journeys. Second, thank you! Thank you for allowing me to see the Snake River through your storytelling. I will never see the Snake River in person and never knew about it until I got to experience it with you. So, for someone that is almost 3,000 miles from where you were, I want to sincerely thank you for what you did and allowing me to experience it with you. It was a privilege to witness it all with you. Third, I was really sad that when you got to Taco Bar, there was not an actual bar that served Tacos! I would consider going on a trip like that if I knew I could get to a place called Taco Bar so that I could replenish all the calories spent on that trip. Oh, and I got a great laugh at the 1:15:44 timestamp. Thank you for sharing your passion and your adventures with the world. Your films are an inspiration.

Holy moly, incredible terrain out there. Gotta pick my jaw off the floor after those drone shots. Fantastic trip Xander, bravo 👏

Sorry for your loss 😥🙏 . Lost my dad two days ago, 95 years old. He also loved the river and fly fishing like you. Your video brought me comfort in these sad times. Thank you. "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." Love you dad.

This video should win an award. The way it shows every aspect of his journey from food, tent, to sleep, to hikes, to kanooing, to wildlife with a big zoom to real talk to filming talent just the details and effort and how much value this video brings is amazing. This video alone would be a 5-10 series season of a netflix show or youtube format in germany where people copy everything from the US or CA. The differents of quality not just the video quality just in total is so big to other creators its crazy.

[@MrFreeGman]

This was easily your best video ever. Amazing photography/cinematography, pacing was perfect, classic Xander humor was on point. You definitely did this incredibly journey justice.

[@liamrex4390]

This video is perfection. Raw yet cinematic. I cant even begin to imagine how long it took to learn all of the backcountry skills, photography and filmmaking skills to make such a masterpiece. Your grandfather would be proud. This is living.

[@itseggboy4]

I'm also a recovering addict, sort of in the stuck going nowhere part right now. There's a lot of excuses why, like car being unrecoverable and being relatively broke. It's like I'm surviving, but I'm not in the wilderness. The hardest part about being a recovering addict for me, is to stop surviving and live. Thanks for these videos, stay safe.

Hi, just decided to subscribe to your channel. I am a 64-year-old grandma, and I watched this first episode with my seven-year-old granddaughter Jubilee.

Many people have already said it Xander, but the amount of effort you put into the cinematography and editing from multiple sources is simply amazing. You blend everything into such a smooth experience that you completely forget that you have to set up all these camera angles beforehand in addition to carrying out all your often strenuous activities. This was easily my favourite video to date and truly a joy and inspiring to watch. Please don't stop making these videos!!

I mean this with complete sincerity. That was one of the finest video viewing experiences ive had on KZbin. And this content medium replaced my watching television a solid 13-14 years ago. It took me multiple days to ingest it all fully and every time it was as good as the day before.

Thank you for once again pushing for others to get help and being open and honest about your sobriety venture.

Family and I were playing at the camping trip several years back. My grandmother was in the hospital but she was doing fairly well. She had insisted on seeing the grandkids before we left though. We visited for several hours and had a great time with her. She just insisted that we go camping for her. The first night out everything went well. We were cooking supper the next night when the phone rang and it was my dad. My grandmother had passed away while we were camping doing something that she loves so much. It just so happened that we were cooking dinner and my great-grandfather her dad's Dutch oven at the time. I think she knew. What an honor.

Your channel started out as a way for me to watch camping/backpacking when I wasn't able to do my own trips, but over the last year or so it's really become more of a mental health checkpoint. Your seemingly random (to us, but I'm sure there's more to it for you) bouts of serious self-reflection throughout your longer videos recently have served as a notion to myself to do introspection. It's funny, sometimes it's way easier to survive in the wilderness than it is to survive in society. If you come to Colorado I'm more than happy to give you coordinates to quiet places.

Hello fellow Coloradan :) the purpose of my trips *is* the introspection. Something about being in nature just brings it on naturally. Especially out on the water. I'd love to do a big paddling trip like he does someday.

Epic... hands down. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Honor your grandfather's memory... and your grandfather isn't the only one proud of you.

You don't know the power of your videos, man. You truly don't realize how many people you've helped by sharing this and your other outdoor adventures. I am also one of those being helped. We are a part of your journey, and through it, we too are being healed by immersing ourselves in your wilderness experiences. Thank you, Xander
