Xander! By the time you were commenting on the clean water i was in tears my father used to takes my sister and I there for vacations. That was 58 years ago! I have so many wonderful memories of those days in that glorious place.I’m going to email this video to my sister, we both really need this visual medicine right now, thanks mate!

[@attheway]

I’m from the Philippines. We have a very different climate from where you are from. And either climate is special in their own unique ways. But man, Canada really is a hiker/canoers’ heaven. Much love and respect. Been a silent fan since the beginning.

[@mayberry1965]

Thanks! Your channel is one of two in which I fully appreciate. Your time and effort, creativity, knowledge and love of nature shines through in your videos.

Xander, totally appreciate the fact you took the time to watch the dragonfly go into metamorphs, and the mongoose, those islands are absolutely gorgeous! there's so little coverage of the fires, hard to know how ( other than smokey air) how people are making it through with the fires back east? Thanks for the video!

[@sarabellum4880]

Yes... dragon fly not damsel fly like google search told him

[@GrizzinCorp]

Just wanted to say thanks, Xander. As someone who's been through similar struggles in life as you have, watching you get out there and see nature in all it's beauty has inspired me to get out there and do more adventuring myself. I've already been out hiking and camping more this year than I have in all previous years combined with many more trips to go this year. You're one of my favorite channels to watch, and I hope you keep up the great content!

[@lannynavitka8949]

I used to do this long before the KZbin days. Now I have 2 disabled children that I care for. I live in the interlake in Manitoba and yearn to return to the lakes and islands. One day. And at least I can live for now through your great channel.

[@npf27_gg77]

Xander don’t ever stop making these videos I love watching them and just helps me get away from everything going on feels like I’m there with you keep it up Xander ❤

[@MisterPepper100]

Kudos for going the extra mile and filming your paddling away, the breathtaking drone shots, the eye for all the little details and of course the dragon fly sequence. And as always: editing and soundtrack are top-notch. Keep it going man, you got a loyal fan here.

[@trudiswanson9855]

Filming padding away, yep, I thought the same 👍

[@northernlightcnc37]

You've captured the mood perfectly, well done Xander! Don't stop doing this, you're onto something bigger here and you inspire other people.

[@polarisnordlicht1255]

Dear Xander, I am so proud that you are overcoming your personal struggles. It makes me glad that you are succeeding because otherwise I would not have the opportunity to see such amazing places that you visit during your travels. Love seeing your videos. Keep staying strong. 👑❤👑

[@hiredgun7996]

I'm glad you went back to read your journal entry from January. I find this location completely enchanting--the islands, the calm water, the solitude, all of it. Amazing! Thank you Xander. p.s. Fart Island was named after the famous explorer John Q. Fart.

What does the Q stand for ?

[@jasonlynch2919]

From living in the Georgian Bay area I know how beautiful it is. Quiet and not loads of people. Nicely shot and enjoyed every minute. Thanks Xander.

[@MrNickwright01]

You can tell that your going through something. Going into the woods was probably really good for you without you even realizing it at the time. Do you ever go out like this without filming it and just exist? With the quality of your videos I bet it’s a shit ton of work. Love your stuff man. Thank you!

[@bluwtrgypsy]

Wow, what a gorgeous lake. And, beautiful Max music. Keeping a journal is such good practice. going back and reading what you previously wrote can show personal growth, or perhaps how life has transformed. This area truly touches the soul and portrays peace and serenity. You are indeed so fortunate to be in a location close to such beauty. The smoke has continued on and off, here in New England. May you and the people of Canada be safe. Thank you for taking us on this wonderful adventure. Looking forward to more. Blessings

[@bassstellar]

Thanks for this. My son and I love camping, so I showed him this video. He's 6yrs old. Now he's already making plans to go canoeing on Georgian Bay next year! Great channel, love the outdoor exploration...as well as showing the important benefits of journaling and meditation.

[@ghensold]

Maybe Xander's best video to date. Sucks to be not completely feeling the motivation... I can imagine it gets stale when you do this year round. But this is really a beautiful piece of filming and editing. So thanks for this! Side note, minks are such cool animals. So much personality and no fear.

[@trudiswanson9855]

Agree. Beautiful filming and editing on this one 👍👍 I don't know Canadian wildlife. Appreciate you naming those little runabouts as Minks. 👍

[@ScarTalon]

perfect video to sip my morning coffee and have breakfast while watching. Love your videos as always Xander!

[@cargodirect6399]

I grew up on these islands. We owned one of them. My dad gave me a canoe when I was 11 and I went every where. Me and my little red canoe. the waters are beautiful and very dangerous. This video made me homesick, I live in Maryland now. Great stuff , Great video .

[@shahfahad1285]

Xander your videos are amazing brother, the nature, the background music everything feels so good, being alone and away from the hustle and bustle of the world is one of the best feelings in life, nature is so relaxed and peaceful, keep exploring mate 👍🏻 🙂

[@jlaff2982]

Xander, the quote, "He who does not look back to where he came from will not know where he is going," implies that someone who is cut off from their past may find it difficult to find meaning or purpose in life. Not sure why that quote jumped out at me, but it seemed to fit! Love your videos man, and thank you for putting yourself out there and making them!

[@hamedfuladi1502]

It's the start of the new year in my country! Just three hours ago, the year began, and my first KZbin video of the year is this. What a fantastic way to kick off the year!

[@jeffreyparent4392]

Just what I needed tonight, thank you Xander. Some of the most breathtaking scenery that you have shared with us.

[@skmarrama]

Beautiful trip Xander! It didn't seem too buggy this time of year. Love the new canoe. Thank you for taking us along. It's absolutely beautiful in Canada.

[@user-yz2eh2el2c]

One of the most stunning of all videos which captured the atmosphere and beauty of the area. Your sense of humour and your natural reaction to events as they occur is priceless. Thanks for all the effort that you put into these superb videos. Keep 'em coming mate!

I started watching this whilst having my dinner and I turned it off within the first 2 quarters of a minute so I could watch it after without any distractions. That scenery is epic and looks so fun to paddle round!

[@lainiegould839]

Love how you take us along, your amazing photography, and all you share. Never disappoints. Stay you!

[@EcoCurious]

It's taken me a while to figure out what I love about Xander's videos (apart from the beautiful scenery and daft banter! ), but I realised that in pretty much every video he's made, he uses the same gear! That same blue mug, the same cook pot, the same square plate and same spoon. So many outdoors youtube channels are people who seem to just consume gear for the sake of it every other week, and try to get you to buy it. But Xander just seems to use what he has because it works, and instead focuses on bringing us new experiences, rather than new possessions. Respect, dude.

[@FrancisSiuChock]

Thanks for bringing peace and lots of smiles to our crazy world! I learned a long time ago that you look back into your past so you don't repeat the mistakes (and regrets) in your future. Much love to you and your family. Stay well and stay safe Bud!
