My favorite parts are always when Xander cooks and enjoys his coffee + breakfast. You can see the true joy on his face. :) Keep up the great content, love your stuff!!

Cutting the woods also.

Ahh right on time as usual, here to save me from my insomnia

First time commenting on you video. It's so relaxing. I was watching only Joe Robinet in terms of bushcraft but when I discovered yours, I now prefer your vids (both joe and you are awesome) Thanks on sharing your trip with us. ❤️🌿🌲🍃

[@badkarma7480]

yea. im wondering if i like to watch xander even more because he's more my age than joe

[@Wakeupmrwestt]

100% can agree. I tend to stick with Joe and Xander for bushcraft videos. They never disappoint!

[@Evan_Le5]

Gotta love em

[@KelJayP]

Do not miss the Northern Scavenger channel ~ especially the recent 12 or 15-part Crossing Labrador series. And also the beast brothers at Jim Baird's recent 24-part series Over the Height of Land across northern Manitoba. Brother Ted also posted his perspective. Both unreal, with awesome whitewater skills! Yeah, poor Joe is a lightweight vs these guys, but for now, I'm sure he accepts that. They are all good buddies :o) Finally, Jon who is on this trip with Xander has his Lost Lakes channel that is always great, with a lot of Lake Superior footage.

Xander, I feel like you could have a show on OLN, seriously buddy. Your content is always very interesting, never dull. And your drone footage is fantastic!

Thanks brother :p

We did a lot of white water RAFTING in Alaska. Saw a lot of canoe bones. You guys handled it just as we did 40 years ago. Of course rafting is way different and harder to steer. It’s nice to see you on an adventure with buddies! So much fun. Loved how you guys stayed together, analyzed the rapids, kept safety first. It brings back a lot of fond memories and good times.

[@mrxudune1815]

I was missing some xander adventure and here we are great to see you out with jon again and brad, always enjoyable. Run into any animals while out there? Look forward to seeing the trip from jon's perspective.

[@XanderBudnick]

eh we're back :D we saw some beavers but nothing large :p

Great video man! That was a trip to remember for sure. Can't wait until the next one with you boys! I'm amped.

Yay, finally one of my favorite channels uploaded new video today. Thank you for always making a great content. Your video always accompany me before i go to sleep. I love you, Xander. Stay safe & healthy. 🤍

[@FuDuNap]

Thank you Xander for your great videos! I often watch them just before going to bed because they have a calming effect on me. I really enjoy the peacefulness of the scenery, the fireplace and cooking or you breaking logs apart :D Makes me reminisce about my own experiences in scandinavia and the incredible freedom I felt staying in the wilderness. Many thanks from Germany 🥨

[@drobinson8080]

Thank you for sharing the trip with us all...like being there with our mates. Appreciate the work that goes into it all ...

What a show! Love watching these. My favorite outdoor channel now. Keep up the great adventuring!

Amazing content Xander! Very jealous of you three guys. Looks like an incredible, fun journey. Keep the vids coming. I look forward to every one

[@abandonedwest]

Your videos always look so effortless, yet I understand all the work, during and post, that goes into creating them. Really grateful for the boost to my mental health watching your adventures gives me. Thank you!

Thanks for saying that, this one took me awhile to edit :p

As always allowing us to enjoy nature and camping thru the screen, thanks Xander you're a legend bro 💪🏽👑

My friend, as a fellow canadian from Quebec, I must say you have reingnited my passion for camping. I have planned multiple weekends in the wilderness to disconnect from everything and it's all thanks to you! Take care Xander

Hey chris I'm so glad you supported me by subscribing ❤

[@frasersintheforest]

Great trip, Xander! Love the camaraderie between you three. And Brad is a beast in the whitewater.

[@deannaseguin4342]

Im impressed with the fact that you guys are very cautious and watch the river and portage when you feel its beyond your capabilities or too dangerous . Nature is unforgiving, one wrong move and its over. Be smart and come home safe so that we get to enjoy your content for years to come!!!!

[@kianr2200]

Such a lovely video. The filming, editing, camping, cooking, canoeing, was all phenomenal. I felt like I was along for the ride the whole time. Thanks for doing what you do brother

[@operationawesome8567]

I love this stuff. I am glad you continue to paddle whitewater and share it. You're an inspiration. I am no where near your level, but because of you, I am trying harder to improve my videos. Thanks Xander.

[@FragenAnsLeben]

We watched it on our big screen, as always. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@marcusfreihoff6637]

wonderful, simply wonderful and so relaxing to watch and listen to those fly overs. Thanks 🙏

[@winreacts6528]

As a person who used to live in the PNW and now resides in Arizona, watching your video gives me a calm and reminisce about the great times I had in the PNW. Might move back one day in the future and go back to my root of exploring the forest/environment.

[@ride-paddle-repeat]

What a wild ride! So great to see the 3 of you out there and Jon getting his hands dirty in the moving water more. You guys are really inspirational to just appreciate the nature we have while it's still here.

[@Critical_Cabbage]

Love that you guys have a safeword and that you're aware of your limitations! So important if you're gonna have a good and safe trip.

[@struck7976]

i cant explain it but the song/music you use in those drone shots just sort of puts me in my place. im really here im really in this world. i have so many memories and regrets and it just all flashes when that music comes on. its bitter sweet

[@chrismoroz9454]

Killer trip and the way you showed it. Its great when you and Jon do trips together and we get to see both your versions and Brad is badass. Fun video to watch. Keep em coming Xander and stay safe

[@johnhighstreet5199]

OMG!! THANK YOU!! And more of this, please. What a treat, I saw it in my feed this morning and couldn't wait to get home and check it out. Awesome.

[@OrderOfWoods]

That is pure content! This guy really puts a lot off effort and dedication to us! A lot of cameras, perfect shots of drones, music, food, adrenaline, I can guess how much time editing these videos. Give a loud applause for Xander. Best regards! 👏👋🇱🇹👍

[@34bf7hdbf]

Dude, big fan. Watched you and John for a while now. Really helped me emotionally and mentally get through the lockdown. I work at a hospital in supply chain. So it’s been a rough few years. I get a lot of hope and inspiration from watching you and John. So I feel the need to say thank you. Big fan of the 3 Amigos on this video! I would love to see the 3 of you do more whitewater trips. So cool man. I love the 2 really epic shots of all three of you guys paddling alongside. It was a fun shot and looked fun. Cheers Xander, I hope you keep exploring and sharing with us all. I can’t get enough. Deano

[@XanderBudnick]

Thanks for the message brother

[@mlotschek01]

What a rush!! Perfect weather and great company 👌 I would love to try more whitewater at some point, can't wait to see it from Brad and Jon's perspective... Keep up the excellent content my friend!! See you on your next adventure. 🍻

Love these long trips and longer form videos. i live vicariously and enjoy while sipping a hot tea haha. Keep it up Xander!

[@janm2473]

Just amazing, Xander!! Thank you for risking life and limbs bringing us such thrilling episodes. And, Jon, you reminded me of my experience from many, many years ago, when I took my first class of canoeing in the NAIT pool.... then our instructors hauled us out to the Wild Hay river, not too far from Jasper... I thought they were C5 rapids, for corn's sake... most likely only C1. Scared the heck outta me. Yup, a whole bunch of our canoes ended up flipping. But such fun.

[@hikesome]

Best Burnout you ever had I guess ;) Looks like another great adventure Xander. Always cool to have a crew that is ready for a bro trip. Good and fun times outdoors are the best. And best cheat what John did in the beginning, just let the river take you downstream 🤣 Stay safe out there. Cheers, M.

What a fantastic adventure Mr.Budnick. I have never heard of that river before and now it will be on my list of rivers to paddle. I love how you were able to take footage of you actually doing the rapids and it felt like I was there with you. Great job and I am very impressed if that means anything. All the best Xander and always remember to follow your nose! 🍁🦫
