happy holidays bro😊

Happy holidays !😊

[@lqmn3238]

Its nice having sibling who shares the same passion as you. Im a bit jealous :P Such a nice relaxing video to end 2021. May 2022 be a whole lot better for all of us. Happy new year to Xander and whoever reading this 😄😄😄

[@buttcheek8623]

My older brother and I are about to endure a three day 27 mile camping trip over in Arkansas. It's the last time we will be able to do something like this for awhile because he starts working soon. Nothing beats spending time with loved ones when there is no distractions. Makes you feel like a kid. Another great video my guy!

[@dominic4143]

Holy shit that is something I could only DREAM OF! Have lots of fun and be safe bro sounds like a great time.

[@marycarter6186]

If you mean Eagle Rock Loop, I had that planned to start on 12/18-12/21 and got rained out. LOTS of water crossings so safety first! Did section three of the Ouachita trail instead. Happy hiking!!

[@graceham1]

Its great that you are able to get out with your brother like this. My advice is to do that as much as possible. I lost my younger brother Mike, a little over a year ago, on Nov 28th and will never be able to do things with him again. I miss him very much. His birthday was December 21.

[@ritikgautam7342]

Hey Robert, take care of yourself. Sending you love from your new bro!!

[@MHarenArt]

Always a treat to see you out with Max. Brotherly camaraderie is something wonderful too see!

[@saint52vvs]

I just lost my older brother yesterday and this was so nice to see.

[@orenkallay3243]

I’m sorry for your loss man

You’re pronunciation of Worcestershire is incredible.

I pronounce it 'wooshster' I don't know if that's correct

[@DiverFPL]

@@JP1989W oh yeah I forgot the the shire part haha I think I say more of a 'sher' than a 'sheer' but I think that's due to my Irish accent

[@Hollister101MH]

a 'sher' sound is correct in my opinion. woost-eh-sher sauce

"Wash your sister" sauce! You're welcome 😊

[@Dronetothetop]

You are a blessed man to have an older brother like Max. Really enjoyed watching you two having chill out in the woods.

[@Hiyama420]

You and your brother have great energy together, glad you could take a nice holiday trip out to camp. A very happy holidays to you and yours!

[@SnuggleFartz]

Continuously amazed by the subtle cinematography aspects that make these videos so consistently great. Another 10/10 hit classic

[@mr7354]

I lost 2 brothers in recent years and don't speak to another. Enjoy your time together guys! Thank you for sharing.

[@laffitteoutdoors]

So good to see you guys out spending quality time together! Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

[@lukesofian2797]

That avocado is CGI for sure !! Too perfect

[@bradlafferty]

Love the bro banter. Another engaging vid! Wishing all the Budnick family a hopeful new year filled with contentment!

[@FrancisSiuChock]

Xander, thank you for sharing these special moments with family, especially while we are apart but yet supporting each other! I can see what a special bond you have with your Brother, cherish that for all eternity! Have a fantastic holiday, stay safe and healthy!

[@mattylulw2862]

Congrats on 300k subs Xander, been here when you had 20k subs. You've come a long way brother. Keep up the great work.

[@XanderBudnick]

tyty :D

[@1CrackerMan1]

I just noticed the audio in your videos is incredible.

[@myway3343]

I lost my only brother of 60 years, 5 years ago. I still miss him. Enjoy every moment. Thanks for sharing >>>

[@JohnSmith-nc6ul]

What an amazing way to spend the solstice, wishing you both a magnificent 2022.

[@gadoosher]

Xan, that shot of the landscape w/ the snow coming at the camera was gorgeous. You never cease to impress. Cant wait for the next one!!

[@ccj7942]

Your videos ALWAYS make me smile Xander and I really needed it today ❤️ here’s to another great year of adventures

[@kentuckyhiker7071]

It is awesome to see that you are able to get out and enjoy the woods with your brother. You guys need to hold on to that bond, because a family bond like that, is hard to find! Thank you for another great video!!

[@Hike_Hook]

You got me back into backpacking and camping again! I love the content you put out!!

[@pamalvestad3848]

Growing up us 5 kids were always having fun building forts in old Grove on the farm. When we gather now as grown up kids we always reminisce about those good old day's

[@blyby]

These videos never fail to provide me with much needed escapism - thank you Xander keep up the excellent quality of work

[@seanjames7397]

I used to do the same with my brother when we were younger. He doesn’t live near home anymore, so it’s a bummer that we can’t do stuff like this anymore. Love to see it man! Keep up the good work, your videos are awesome Xander🤘

[@soonersherewego]

Thank you I needed this. All of your videos are absolutely amazing but the ones were you bond with friends or brother are my favorite. Because they remind me what is most important in life. Relationships !! I hope 2022 brings all your dreams to life. 3 million followers a possible reality, no one deserves it more than you. As you can tell you got me hooked. I am literally addicted to your videos. They make me feel so goood. Thanks again !!

[@s3clorum]

I absolutely loved the caring brotherly connection between the two of you, may you always be close to each other. Happy new year to you Xander and all your loved ones

[@alanbierhoff6831]

That was great! Nice minimalistic shelter set up. Breakfast in the snow is always fun I hope you had a good Christmas 🎄

[@kindnessandcompassion9882]

"It's all changing. I used to hate the fall because it meant the impending doom of Winter.....but I have begun to enjoy all the seasons." This is a shift in perception. Part of a true awakening. There is nothing like nature to help get us there. The present moment. The All. The point and power of all creation. Xander has tapped into the stillness of being. He has created a better life for himself and those around him. Proof that we create our reality. "Everything is as it is. The rest, we add to it." - Eckhart Tolle

[@abdulmuntasirmasum7914]

Having sibling is blessing. Specially like Max, very nice and a gentle person. Would like see both together..

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

Hey Xander...just wanted to say thank you for the beautifully peaceful videos you make. The cinematography and your personality are really special. I appreciate these videos a great deal. Cheers mate.

[@yakoobjunior9631]

Great to see two awesome brothers sharing the same outdoor passion. Very enjoyable video 👍🏼

[@five0pd310]

Love it! I never had a brother to do things like this with. I only had 2 much older sisters who wouldn't be caught dead camping with little bro. lol. I'm glad y'all are still able to enjoy these things together.

[@randompeople465]

I feel you

[@pamalvestad3848]

I am so blessed to have a sister that lives 1/4 mile north of me on the gravel road to share life's adventures from gardening, farming, camping, fishing, kayaking to crafting we sell at farmers market. Beyond bless to have a sibling and best friend

[@wishin4fishin0728]

So awesome that you and your brother share the same love of being outdoors! Keep doing your thing Xander! Love the content!!!

[@DIGPLatinodriftking1]

This was very cool to watch. You and your brother have a great dynamic from what I see. Every time I watch your videos I get a spurt of motivation to get out there and just camp. A late Merry Christmas and a wonderful Happy New Year to you and your family. Cheers!

[@michaelnoakes8566]

Great seeing you guys together; thanks for sharing this.

[@bannan8288]

I love watching your vids just because I'm so jealous what you are doing and I can't. Keep up the good work!

[@rebeccadees2300]

I love the way you just “roll” with situations that arise and deal with it 👍

[@ggsus]

YESSSS! been waiting for this one. Happy holidays Mr Xander and to your bro 🎄🎄🎄

[@silby77]

What a great video! Love the sound quality of the crackling fire. So cool to see you out camping with your brother. My favorite camping buddy is my little sister Aimee.

[@taygeto4818]

Xander I love your videos, love to see you have such great times with your siblings! Very proud of you for staying healthy , keep it up man you are awesome and please please keep those videos coming. Blessings from Mexico City!!

[@darrellcaruk8880]

I did enjoy that as much as you and max. I admire the relationship you have with your brother. Good for both of you. 🇨🇦

Great family time with brother in woods. Just chillin near campfire, eating amazing food, chatting, watchung stars. Great video. Happy Holidays! 🤠🏕🎉

[@DubNationVids]

This is so awesome! Being from Michigan, I’ve always wanted to get some people together and go camping in the winter. Thanks for the great videos!

[@riverjeanmontgomery6664]

Another great video. Most outdoor/overnight productions are gassy and prone to product promotion and self agrandisement . I appreciate the humor and sound woodsmanship.

[@michaelmcglone5475]

Love the video Xander, it’s nice to see you out there with your brother having fun. I hope you had a merry Christmas and you have a happy New Year’s

Great video!!! Nice to see you spending time with your brother!!!

[@Nordic_Adventures]

Can only wish i had a brother who shares the same interests as i do! Inspiring video as always Xander, greetings from Norway :)

[@paulfroud3920]

Nice to see how you two get along as brothers...wish i had that. Just a tip; if you lay the uncut logs beside you, you can push them into the firepit throughout the night. it saves a lot of work and energy in the long run. Happy Camping guys...🔥

[@LukaMMikic]

happy holidays to you and you brother. finally we meet him.

I liked the criss crossed tarps idea, and it seemed to work pretty well!

[@masoncaserta8343]

It’s always a good day when Xander uploads

[@nikolajrosendahllarsen8428]

I just cant stop watching :0 watched so many of your vids these last nights. Much love

[@richieewinns]

You know of all the things that intimidate me about solo camping bushwhacking etc. is learning and remembering all of these types of knots and ties.

[@Sue2Sueper]

Loved you guys! Great Video! 🇨🇦

[@kevindeaton5235]

Excellent 👌 video! That's what real nature is!

Fantastic video man. I am hoping to get out there this winter!

[@davidnilles3117]

[@ecttreker9816]

Those fire bellows are a great piece of kit!👍👍

[@jgyalog9908]

Another good one. You’re blessed my man.

[@mikestiglic1880]

Looks like you figured out to expand your channel, Max and Xander travel the world experiencing different outdoor adventures. I would certainly tune in!

[@goldiloks08]

This is so precious. Very cool to see y’all together and having fun. 🥰 I fully agree with both of you - I want to see the world, but I’m much more interested in sleeping on the side of a mountain or jumping waves at a black sand beach than I am in seeing the Louvre or the Burj Khalifa. Ps, YES, every good burger needs Tabasco. Good on ya.

[@duexplore9637]

Amazing video man! Just found your channel and I'm already addict to it! Cheers from Brazil

[@lovemusics91]

Hey Xander! I just found your channel and you are really cool! Those shots are so awesome. Thank you for taking us along your journey and making our Pandemic days. I am currently doing a marathon on your youtube vlogs and I hope to see more of your videos. Always stay safe. ❤️ - Love from the Philippines.

Fun video guys. You gotta love big brothers.😃👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello 👋 Gentlemen, greetings from Northern California. I really enjoyed seeing the dynamic duo in action. I'm sorry that I missed your dinner invitation. Those sandwiches 🥪 looked really awesome. The best of good things to both of you. Stay safe and healthy out there. 🤗
