Winter Camping in the Arctic Ocean -30°

@maximbudnick and I team up with @ToyotaCanada and embark on an epic mission to attempt to drive to Canadas most northern and most remote territory, Nunavut. We encounter blistering cold and challenging obsticles as we attempt to drive where the roads end.

Oh hell yeah a Nunavut trip? That's awesome. Also a Toyota sponsorship?!? Xander making big moves you love to see it

[@itravelwisely]

Wondering if I should look into a similar trip with this truck haha. Great footage and love the story told!

[@AKT565]

great, excellent, wonderfull

Finally a sponsored video that doesnt annoy the crap outta me

[@Bond.JamesBond00]

I laughed this morning when I looked at my buddy from the passenger seat of his 2007 LE Camry (250k miles! And only $5k of replacement parts!!!) And I said, "We go places." And he replied. "Close enough."

[@daant2892]

Just unsubbed, cuz of the ad crap all the time. Trying to watch a video, not an advertisement. If i want toyota ads, i'll go to the toyota channel.......

[@wrighty338]

@@daant2892Bye have a great time! Clearly you have zero concept of how people are able to create these videos for you to watch for free...

[@xerox13ster]

@@daant2892 ​ So did I, I used to watch his videos explicitly because it was usually just him--on foot, alone in the wilderness, sometimes with a pal. Just him and the woods and the sights and sounds of nature. I watched @Xander Budnick's videos to cope with the sounds of highway traffic bc I lived too close to the freeway and the sound of traffic and knowing the health effects I was suffering from all the carcinogenic dust from all the vehicles was impacting my mental health and blood pressure. I watched his videos because they let me get away from cars. Now his videos are apparently car ads. I would rather sub to a patreon than watch this crap. unsubbed. @wrighty338

[@Jfree441]

He's in the top .01% of YTbrs that take sponsors and it doesn't make me want to poke my eyes out. Always creative and entertaining even if I have no interest in the sponsor itself.

Xander you are the baddest man on the planet! In 3 days I will be 8 years sober. Watching you, having listened to you open up about your struggles, strengthens my resolve. Tons of respect and gratitude for you brother. Keep it rollin’!

Nice man congrats

[@atlyons89]

Hey man I found your channel by watching Clay H I live near him if you ever want to do a trip in Idaho I would love to come along i could provide a place to stay in Lewiston if you’re interested great videos man I’m jelly

[@tberkoff]

Whoa someone got a new truck...and sponsor! Great use of the Master and Commander score!

[@XanderBudnick]

Wish I got to keep it. Man I loved that truck

[@cyclecentreruncorn2510]

Odd thing. As I'm watching this, in UK, on film 4, is the film master n commander!

Greetings Mr. Budnick, I'm a random dude in a sea of random people. But I am happy to see you're doing well. I have watched many of your videos in my free time, and I often think about the struggles you have overcome to get where you are now. And I often think about commenting, but I rarely do. For what it may, or may not, be worth, I am proud of your accomplishments. I am proud you've overcome the hurdles. I may not personally know you, but I still wish you the best in everything. I look forward to this video and the next!

[@XanderBudnick]

Thanks brother that means a lot ❤️

[@deependradev8100]

The Arctic shots of you two walking is so surreal. Well done Sir

[@MiLyDude]

This is probably one of the most epic camping I've ever watched!

[@sambianchi4006]

1st - Your videos help me to sleep at night man. I don't think I've missed a single video since you started the YT channel. My fav part of your video is your mmmmmmmmm sound once you bite into your food - keep them up and glad you are still making new content!

[@valeriocelesti9263]

Same thing , last thing before going to bed is watching one of his videos , they help me a lot to sleep!😊

[@mianhussain2357]

Same! I watch his videos (even the ones I have already) to be at peace at night and then I dream away about camping with Xander.

[@stephanielopez9413]

Same!!

[@SnuggleFartz]

all your success is warranted. the best damn channel on youtube. shout out max. yall are the goats.

[@XanderBudnick]

Thank you :)

[@Davidesonar449]

Xander. You're really becoming a king at editing. It was so freaking good and enjoyable and funny too man. Really keep it up. Might be one of your best videos. Love the music too

[@user-yf5ii6jt6j]

Nocturne as the background music, that's great.

[@RachelandRiver]

The level and variety of skills that you have to put together a video like this just blows my mind every time you do it. From your camera artistry, to editing skills, to being seriously funny... you do it all while NOT DYING in freaking Nunavut! Thanks for sharing with us... you guys really are the best. ❤

[@XanderBudnick]

Much appreciated 😊

[@siajrdn]

Well it's official. You two are nuts 😂😂 I love it!! Can't wait for the next adventure.

[@city_boy_james]

That drone shot at dusk where the camera pulls away from your tent was epic... glad your drone didn't blow away in that wind! I also liked the bit where you 'interrupt' the editing to give a shout-out to Maxim... very creative!

[@renatev.7473]

Once again, an amazing video. Thanks for taking us along.

[@Evan_Le5]

What an absolute gem. So cool you lads got to do this trip together. Loved the music choice👏

[@XanderBudnick]

Thanks mate :)

[@Buster842842]

Thank you Xander - I really enjoyed this trip. I’m going to read-up on this area and the people living there. Love the driving scenes with you or Max talking about the areas. It’s great to be able to see so much as a 75 yr old disabled person sitting in a chair in my living room. Also enjoy all the drone scenes. Xander 4’ 11”not buying it. Best regards / Greg USA. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@JohnDrummondVA]

I can see, in my minds eye, Xander on the moon, full spacesuit, cracking kindling. Just to say he's cracked kindling in yet another crazy place. 🤣❤

[@markusst4661]

Xander is the absolute best. He is a young man who kids should be looking up to. Very proud of him. And WOW, look at that cool truck!!

[@Beautifully_Flawed_Helen]

Omg what an amazing adventure. Love watching both you guys together and on your own. That truck what bad ass.

[@Haj-rm7xg]

Your sense of humor and the beauty of the place made me smile throughout the video! So glad i came across your channel two days ago and by now i watched a dozen of your videos. Good luck to you guys in the following trips and I can’t wait to watch them!

[@MrPuukjeens]

Your kinda videos and a spice of that humor is just perfection. Finally a video! Thank you!

Toyota should give Max a Tacoma as well. He did most of the driving. Xander was just goofing off licking the window for most of the trip. Faithful supporter since 6k subscribers, from the Great Country of Texas.

wish I could watch it again and not remember the first time lol. Gooood stuff Xander keep it up!

This is your best produced video yet, from location to editing and all facets in between. Like... almost Nature Channel level! Congrats on the Toyota sponsorship (perfect fit, you're like the Tacoma in human form). Please more cold camping videos! The drone footage really gave such a perspective of your isolation in that absolutely beautiful but utterly desolate place. I was waiting for the drone to be taken by high wind!

[@wyndwalkerranger7421]

Seems like a truck advertisement.

[@chrischris9123]

Don't know if Toyota thought this through lol. The majority of us who are watching Xander for comfort/sleep aid/escape from our own realities can't afford this $60k+ truck😅

It’s fine by me. As crazy as KZbin is, gotta make money while you can.

Wow....the things you go through to entertain us is incredible. What a cold and windy camping trip. Actually brought back memories of life in Yukon....going for long walks at -40 and wrapping my little car with a tarp to help keep it warm when doing a 5 1/2 hour drive at 60 below. Thanks for the memories and the laughs Xander.

"I think its the suspension" Really took me outta the video. There are ways to do sponsorships. ALL GOOD but force feeding me? Nah. ESPECIALLY since you don't even know if the product is good yet. As you said. Its an all new truck setup. BYE

[@Miklm3494]

Damn that was awesome! Loved every moment of that vid from the choice in music, the drone footage, the silhouette of you guys walking in the alien looking arctic landscape, the humor that cracked me up! Loved the badass truck too! Nice to know Max played such a big part in putting your trips together, he’s a genius just like you said. I see a full a length movie of you guys in your future.
