Solo Winter Camping at Bush Camp - Chicken on a Rope

[@jamiejenkins5643]

Outdoor boys and Kent Rollins... All my favorites...

[@MichealBacon]

Xander, I think you have the record for sleeping outdoors in the winter without a wood stove, or even a tent for that matter. That's quite an accomplishment for someone who's overcome addiction and barely began their outdoor winter journey just a handful of years ago. Your wilderness skills are through the roof and along with your mental toughness I believe would carry you through a season of ALONE to the end. You should be very proud, my friend.

[@XanderBudnick]

Thank you:)

[@livucarpaci4770]

​@XanderBudnick love your videos ,bet you eating your soup with sirop 😂😂.

[@Windds]

Am I the only one that watches Xander when I’m stoned or when I’m trying to fall asleep it’s so calming! Love you Man :)

[@gigatorious]

My man. Just what we needed

[@georgesolanakis8264]

He is relentless! Kudos to him! Wish I had his energy! ....and his back woods! Ontario has so much wilderness as all of Canada!

[@littlemi9343]

Horay back to basics xander is back. I love these types of trips, no creature comforts, just good old fashioned being at one with nature.

[@XanderBudnick]

Glad you like the classic. Next few videos will be a bit different tho :p

[@TheKeyboardOil]

@@XanderBudnick Xander I’d literally watch you do anything, you’re the best!!

[@szilardtiti5766]

Hey Xander. I've been watching your videos for more than a year. I find that whenever things are difficult, seeing you go on an adventure always calms me down. I really appreciate what you do. Never stop camping and exploring the wilderness. You give so much to people so far away, you have no idea.

[@RobinOutdoors]

I love watching your video's Xander! I am living in Belgium and here I cannot do as much wilderness stuff like you can do but I love watching your video's, I really enjoy it and I am always waiting to see new video's ! Keep doing your trips outdoors! Thank You!

[@romarklin]

Belgium too here

[@batcam5785]

Nice places in Belgium to ! I recommend you to get the 1:100.000 Atlas from Geocart. (Full country, A4 format, less then 200 pages.)

[@luuktanis3139]

I always go to Belgium for wild camping

[@RobinOutdoors]

@@luuktanis3139 indeed, if you stay discrete and stealth no one will see ;) i also do it

[@Maoliebe]

We are proud of your progress, Xander. Leaving food for the next day, hearing satiety and stopping - that was a long journey! Keep it up! We believe in you!🤗

[@stefanieholbrook7697]

I just wanted to reach out to you and say that my husband and I are both in recovery!! We have been clean for quite a few years now. It’s definitely not easy but so worth it!! Keep it up man!! God first and recovery second you won’t fail! May you continue to be blessed!! We really enjoy your content!!

[@keviconstant4031]

What happened to you and your husband?

[@TheBearEssentials]

Nice vid Xander. Good ol swingin chicken!

[@XanderBudnick]

Thanks brother 😊

[@rebeccadees2300]

I’m constantly amazed at the cooking you do while camping. You need to have a camp cooking class 😊. Very nice of you to give mention to the people who inspired some of your meals.

[@TaterChip91]

Anyone else love the sound of logs bouncing off each other

[@gordthompson4664]

Bushcraft xylophone. 😅

[@TaterChip91]

​@@gordthompson4664 I dig that 👌

[@BlackFishStudios_HMG]

Found your channel after moving to Ecuador from Washington state to help out in a deaf education work and your videos always seem to drop the second I’m feeling homesick. Love your videos and your humor.

[@Hatchetjk]

It would be cool to see you do a trip with the outdoor boys. I think the two of you would make a killer team and Deffinetly pull off an epic trip

[@pingpong3248]

agreed- i watch those two as a lifestyle

[@vineyardsky]

Lovely! It was especially nice to hear your mention of the others who have inspired you. If you love the roasted squash you might like to try roasting a head of garlic too! 😋

[@XanderBudnick]

Sounds yummy

[@Xo1ot1]

I often watch your videos before going to bed to relax and calm down. Learned quite a bit from this one, too.

[@kylewilliams5761]

You look in great shape my man.. Keep strong and doing what you're doing..... You're keeping us all entertained bigtime.!!

[@bs78315]

Love the video. im surprised you don't have millions of subscribers. You gotta be the best on KZbin. Thanks for all the hard work you put in your videos it really shows

[@tomahawwke]

What great Timing, I was just looking for something to watch, can't wait Xander!

[@sandimatthews5703]

I enjoy all your videos but I have to admit I always look forward to seeing what creative food you are going to make! Have a safe trip to the USA!

[@brucedow3883]

I liked your marimba attempt with the stored wood. The sounds when you tossed them in a pile and the bed.

[@donnydavino4326]

If you wind up in Salt Lake, there's a beautiful spot in one of the canyons called Desolation Lake. Beautiful hike and a beautiful camping spot. Highly recommend.

[@chrishengeveld6117]

Xander.. the "one spark wonder". Ty sire. Living vicariously thru YOU! ❤👍😎

[@crazyjoelowe]

Loved the video Xandorf -- I'm pretty sure your spinning bird carcass hypnotized me though. Awaiting instructions.

[@davidmichael3160]

Thanks, Xander. I enjoyed this one. Looking forward to the spring trips and videos.

[@sisyr5615]

All these quick cuts when you chop wood, build fires etc gotta be a pain in the ass to make, but I sure do appreciate them. :D

[@jensunray1]

Thankyou for sharing since the beginning your adventures . I jumped on board to your channel ages ago because your magic mate! Back to a fire and planning for the weather is a cleanse.. that’s what I get from your trips ! Let’s not forget the B roll, scenic awesomeness and the drone captures that you edit to perfection . Fan boy from a grown man 😂

[@yuuzyerbrejn9603]

Thanks for using other's methods in your outing this time. I thought that was The Outdoor Boys triangle setup and it was -and the food, WOW! Also, I've commented on the wood processing b4 because I have 40 years experience processing frikkin wood, and I crack up every time I watch your edit cut ups! Thank you! It makes the splitting chores more fun than I ever imagined.

[@BantamFanXI]

Perfect! Best way to fall asleep to the crackle of fire! Xx

[@wullieoutdoorsinscotland2192]

Just the tonic i needed tonight Xander , cheers and atb from Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 UK 🇬🇧

[@Twobarpsi]

Cool idea to stash the wood from your last build and reuse it! I don't know why I never thought of that! Great trip Bud!!

[@cowboy6591]

The trail-blazing gourmet!! Starring "Chef Budnick" sounds like a channel. I gain 5lbs every time I watch his videos. Cracks me up. Good job Xanders.

[@Rhysers3000]

Love your positive energy in these videos, relaxing to watch

[@evermoss]

i found your channel a few days ago and your videos have become my favourite thing to put on while i'm studying! can't wait to watch this one while i'm not taking notes for my courses though 😭😎

[@phillipmccrite]

Lol you know what I do, I just put all Xander’s videos on playlist and chill. I just like the Canadian ambiance

[@Mike_219]

Another great video, Xander! That chicken looked amazing! I would've loved to see you make a chicken stock with the carcass though! I bet that would've hit the spot out there.

[@elizabethcollins6309]

Hi, thank you for letting us come on this adventure with you. 😊😊❤

[@docabrahammd]

While I love all your videos, this is my favorite style. Good old-fashioned camping, cooking, and clowning around!

[@Davidesonar449]

Lovely trip man. The editing is getter more satisfying each video! Love watching the wood stack

[@angushaines7389]

Hey Xander, just wanted to say how grateful I am for these videos, hope you’re doing well. From the UK ❤

[@NEjack.]

Ohhhh buddy ol budnick, another Xander video!!!

[@earthangel8730]

The sound of the logs! 🎶 🪵 🎶🪵🪵🎶🪵🎶

[@redriver6541]

Thanks for the vicarious trip..... I love The Outdoor Boys..... I have taken many ideas from that channel. I respect your past man....I've been in the same boat. You give me hope, that there can be a great life in overcoming..... Love and best wishes from Western Kentucky USA.

[@lordserrot]

Loved the Kent Rollins dance. 😂😂😂

[@azukidx]

Bushcraft on the snow is very cool, and the scenery is great too.

[@GinaScott0315]

Literally WOOHOOO out loud thru my home…. Plus re-watching some of your earlier posts… Ahhhhh

[@phoenixnights2296]

Xandder budnick. great video. leftover veggies you can make bubble and squeak

[@jb-tw6ek]

I normally don't comment but you make the coolest videos. Love the shelter builds.

[@robertjones6880]

thanks xander. i enjoy all of your videos.

[@northcountrytrapper]

Hey man,skookum video! One thing you could try for the hanging chicken rotisserie is a small battery operated decoy spinning device that’s used in spearfishing. It spins anything small at a slow rate for hours. It would work swimmingly for this application. It’s called a decoy teaser a few different companies make ‘em.

[@suezaple4950]

Hey Xander nice set up love the raised bed , cool way to do up the chicken nice that you mentioned those who inspired you for the variouse . your meal looked deliciouse . the bed comfy One can learn variouse techniques watchinng your videos you are such an experienced outdoors men . Thanks for the video always a joy to watch . Ontario , Canada

[@footballfanstyleonye]

Love your videos Xander! You inspired me to get more into camping and outdoors and it's great to watch you and get ideas. Thank you so much! Big respect for your sober journey too, I'm also doing my best and i'm sure others are in the same boat, thank you for being so open about it! We all love and respect you! Much love

[@scottperine8027]

Your ASMR is improving and the wood sequences are always satisfying to the ears.

[@TheCalmWoodsman]

Love You Man! I've downloaded your vids on YT, which I saw many times already and 3hrs plane trip was just a pleasure. Only one bad thing... I was hungry evey time when I saw you cooking! You are pure Masterchef ❤️ Greetings from Poland! Stay safe!

[@brianherzog]

They'll shape up. Good luck.

[@michaelmcgrath4769]

Canada 🇨🇦 country side is second to non. I’m so jealous. I have to go there sometime most definitely. Yup. That chicken must feel fair sick twirling around all the time.

[@saramourao5556]

This one is my favorite. Xander and the chicken.

[@Colelaw06]

Love these videos Xander keep it up!!!

[@madamecampsalot6384]

I agree, when you're on a trip a sudden change in plans is as good as it should be.

[@fionazamora]

hands down, xandorf budnarki artichoki beef jerki is the best outdoor adventurer + aspiring youtuber ever !!

Love watching you Xander! I’m living in the philippines a tropical country and yet i want to apply all the knowledge and techniques that you apply during camping… Stay Safe Xander💪

[@74stevedc]

Great video content, like how you shout out other creator's in your craft, just shows it's a great community.

[@Red5_xwing]

Xander, u make me crave chicken and camping! I'm from Ontario (Kingston) and did plenty of camping there. I now live in B.C and u have inspired me to go back to the camping that I love. I'm a kayaker but I still love canoes. I'm excited to see what B.C has to offer for exploration! Thank u.

[@headspacehiker]

Fully expecting a surprise guest after you cooked the chicken. I might try this in my backyard👍

[@gordthompson4664]

At 14:10 he was visited by the spirit of Cowboy Kent Rollins. 😂

[@michaelbroyer3918]

Great camp meal! I love all squash. Love the short videos as much as I do the big trip videos.

[@katedavis7256]

Great stuff Xander as per 👍😘 chicken looked yummy , your jiggy jiggy dance told me so 😂😂 . Amazing work your message to people is strong 🙏 bless you xx

[@f.rodriguez8852]

Xander you are the best to go channel when I need a smile. I love your videos!

[@ignotusgear]

The present of Friday has arrived

[@jbostickster]

I use vinyl gloves with a chicken like this when it is raw, again, when I am finished and need to strip the meat off the bone. "Leave no Trace" techniques allow me to use the throwaway gloves many times in the campsite allowing me to "save my hands" for more ardent tasks. I take 20 gloves or so. Also, with that fire, chicken stock would have been easy to make, drink in the morning and give nice nutrients to the body. Throwing it in the fire so early made me cringe but I get it. Survival. The Acorn Squash roasted in the fire was extraordinary. Well done. Your brother in the woods. JB

[@Dewdidit]

I’ve been enjoying all of these videos better every time. Thank you 🙏

[@KG-bv4gy]

Thank you Xander.

[@214mx4life214]

It would be cool to see your interpretation of a snow cave camp out outdoorboys style. Can’t wait to see what you have in store!

[@Bierkameel]

14:08 LOL, Cowboy Kent Rollins appoves this dance.

[@susnorth40]

Lmao yes !! 😂

[@susnorth40]

Nicely done, definitely making the acorn squash, mmmmapple syrup😊

[@joanjackson5825]

That was a cool shout out to the outdoor boys. I watch them too.

[@cowone7146]

You cold weather people are a different breed. Good stuff. Mick in Alabama

[@Alexthunder23]

Greetings from Ukraine!! I’ve been watching u for a couple of years so far. U're doing a great job!! Keep it up ❤😊😊

[@bradlafferty]

Nice. Liked your little jig. Great for St. Patrick’s Day!

[@ajd7772]

Hey Xander! I'm going to watch this one later. Keep the videos coming bro, you are an inspiration to me!

[@icebabysnocain]

I wondered about the chicken but it turned out ok I think. Good video. Pax.

[@stackitlikeabeast3294]

Xan, my great grandmother used to make potato Pattie’s from last nights mashed taters with breakfast. She smacked the patties then floured them on in to the fry pot. That squash would do the same thing.

[@Conan3145]

This trend leads to the ultimate Xander video: “One dude, one saw, one chicken, one turnip, & one week in the snow”. Clothing optional. 😳

[@chef_hoyle7180]

World shortage of paracord... Xanders gone camping. Love the vid and ty. Always a treat after a long week to see ma boi show us how to relax. TY

[@jeffvallentine913]

SW USA eh? Currently it might be more similar to your home stomping grounds than normal. More snow lately throughout the Western US might make it seem more like Canada depending where you're headed. Though I hope you get to experience whatever it is you're seeking some of the most beautiful country in the SW is the desert, Redrock Canyon lands. The sagebrush high desert. Borrowed from people who have lived in the SW for ages, wherever you are headed may you Walk in Beauty.

[@paulfroud3920]

I was surprised when you tossed the Squash Seeds into the fire. They make a nice snack when dry-roasted with a little salt & pepper, and are nutritious as well as much needed calories.

[@Barret-paddles]

Love your 1 night forays with exquisite eats and some many skills and joy on display Xander! Have a great trip to the US and come see us in the North East sometime! 💜👍🏻 Barret
