8 Days Alone in the Rugged Canadian Wild

Your filming skills are on another level. The amount of walk backs to grab the camera or get a shot going through the rapids is so fluent that I have to remind myself you're just one dude putting this all together. Outstanding.

This video is just... perfection. It has brought up a beautiful memory of mine. As a 15 yold Spaniard my parents gave me the opportunity to go on a Summer Camp to Georgian Bay, particularly the region you did this trip in. Part of it was a two weeks canoeing trip surviving in the stunning Ontario wilderness, just as you did, using even the same blue canoe barrels 😄. I have done camping back home here in the north of Spain since, but nothing is quite like Canada. The tough and exciting portages, the rocky side of the lakes, the wildlife and forests, the bonfires (prohibited here) and using a canoe as your way of transport, I cannot describe how unique that is, how lucky you Canadians are for the land you inhabit. Being able to relive this experience from 7 years ago through your video... I will forever appreciate it, liked and saved forever. Thank you very much!

Hello Xander, greetings to you, all the way from Sweden! Nice to see that you like Fjällräven clothes! Fjällräven translated is Artic fox! I love your way to enjoy the solitude far away from all busy and hectic urban life! The landscape, rivers and lakes are very much a like as here in Sweden up north, but Canada is so amazing in every way and in my youth I was keen on reading about the first nation Algonquin people and I imagine how it was to live outdoors in the pristine wilderness and your KZbin channel showing so beautiful and unique wilderness landscapes and the water ways are probably used by the ancient indians as well! I wonder if you have seen any signs from past when you are moving along the rivers and staying at the seashores of the beautiful lakes! And you are so good fisherman too! Wishing you all the best and be immensely richly blessed every new day and wilderness solo camping and fishing adventures in the future! Best regards from Sweden the country of the founder of Fjällräven clothes! ❣💯👍👍👍👏❣

Yessss... my neck of the woods. I swear this area (Temagami, Ontario) is one of the planet's hidden treasures when it comes to wilderness at its finest. The gf and I went camping on Red Squirrel lake a few weeks ago and it was simply amazing. With gas prices so high lately we were literally the only humans out there, except for the 2 friendly conservation officers who popped by our makeshift campsite to say hello on our last evening there. I live in Temiskaming Shores but I frequent the backwoods/old growth forests of Temagami most summer long. I'm an avid hiker and forager of wild herbs, berries & medicinal mushrooms.

[@TheRealTedBaird]

Beautiful Video and awesome area with serious dedication to so many awesome shots 👍

[@XanderBudnick]

Thanks brother aye it's a beautiful area. I know you know it well :)

[@Globetrotter-1]

@@XanderBudnick Beautiful film. ❤️Loved it. It reminds me of a solo canoeing trip through the Verendrye Reserve wilderness region in Canada 35-years ago, searching for giant carp🎣 and camping 🏕️ on the wild islands. I'm surprised that you didn't eat some of the bass or trout that you caught during the trip. It would have saved you carrying so much shop-bought food.

[@bushcraftcamp5775]

Beautiful nature, I also like to relax and go hiking, but it's very hot right now.

[@terrymayberry]

Xander, I think i've watched this film 20 times. Its definitely one of my favorites and I think its because this trip you weren't grinding. You were taking your time, filming amazing scenes, and eating well. Thanks for the many many hours of entertainment and please keep the episodes coming!

[@mrjones808]

even this video is 2 years old its so good to watch brings out the calmness in a person ty

[@MartinHJ]

That was a fantastic solo trip in the wild, pure bliss. Great footage with good balance of bits and pieces, enjoyed it very much, Thx from Norway!

[@mudmonkeyatvs]

We are big fans of you and the channel. Keep ‘em coming! 🇨🇦

[@amanrajpoot.ar04]

Can anyone please tell who is filming him from distance at 02:17 , when he is solo camping, and please do not tell that he left the camera and then went upstream again to pick the camera

[@mudmonkeyatvs]

@@amanrajpoot.ar04 that’s exactly what he did. Content creators works soo hard to produce videos like this.

[@MyForestHobby]

Amazing trip! So atmospheric 🙂

[@XanderBudnick]

Thank you :)

[@kylewagner3052]

Im so happy to see a young person doing what i did forty years ago. The appreciation of nature and mans interaction with it.

[@cribbsprojects]

Your videography skills are pretty darned wonderful! Great adventures in a lovely part of the world. One of the best YT channels in this subject...

[@Fishinghappiness164]

Thank you for saving me from winter blues. The only reason i survive winter is thanks to your videos

[@antonboludo8886]

Canada is mostly winter, though, LOL.

[@caleboverholser9993]

Anyone notice Xander has gotten WAY BETTER at not burning his food? 😂

[@trudiswanson9855]

😄 lol , true

[@BentbrooksRambles]

Truly amazing trip, and truly amazing videography and editing. You really commit to the camera shots: how much of each day do you spend walking or paddling back to retrieve a camera? The results, however, are stunning. Always a pleasure!

[@brianpowers2315]

I’m only half-way through, but I had to stop and say something. I can tell by the video, the “art” you put into it, the music you chose, and what you said. That you felt very grateful, humble, and appreciative of mother nature, and how small she can make you feel in the grand scheme of things, in a good way. I bet this is one of your favorites. While my main thing is winter camping, this one right here is a gem!!

[@AlexBeliveau]

The amount of effort you put to capture all the beautiful shots is beyond reality! You should be awarded for that. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@LesVertsAlgerie]

Hats off to the Cameraman

[@hellcyte5259]

There is no cameraman, he does this all on himself

[@bigbaitbigfish6291]

I’m still looking for a negative comment Edit: before saying why or why are you looking for one, I mean there is only positivity and no negativity

[@Gabecarvesstuff12247]

I don’t think it’s possible

[@Jugglejoy250]

I'll give you a negative comment

[@pattibrown1809]

Why?

[@SandeepYadav-gc4mt]

Why??

[@lucy-ve8ec]

Why though?

[@Admiral-Blackbeard]

Amazing. Your a true inspiration. The work you put into your content. Feel honored to be a sub.

[@The.Cycling.Therapist]

I’ve tried my hand at these videos and so can appreciate all the effort in creating the journey, THEN going back for your gear over and over. Thank you for all that effort. Amazing end-product.

[@robertwagner9676]

Xander, I love all of your work, and this trip was pretty special. Keep sharing these special wilderness moments!

[@polemeros]

What's easy to forget is that he has to stage each one of these shots with camera set-up and then retrieval, so that what looks like an uninterrupted flow is really punctuated by constant film-making decisions, choices and actions. And editing back home. For me, that would ruin the whole thing, but obviously not for him. PS his physical strength and stamina are very impressive.

[@jasonlo8780]

A cooler full of protein and water never hurt anybody. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@clomb1234]

It’s so impressive that along with the challenges of each trip you take the time (and effort) to shoot so many different angles as you proceed. Really professional videography. Thank you.

[@Itay.]

Cant describe with words how much I am grateful that I get to see your breathtaking adventures. it really opens my mind and opened a love for nature that I didn't know existed in me!

[@scotthelmbrecht1512]

Love your videos, I've seen a good number of them now. I appreciate your wonderful camera shots and all the hard work you must put into them. You come off humble and down to earth. You make me and I'm sure thousands of other viewers feel like we are right there with you on each adventure.

[@johnstanton2182]

Xander, you are blessed with incredible open areas. I live in the u.k and we have nowhere near the woodlands, forests, lakes that you have over the water. Thank you, I can’t imagine how resetting it must feel to be in the wild amongst the elements with yourself and time to be with.

[@vancolucci5949]

Xander, Thank you for sharing your amazing picturesque sceneries of the beautiful outdoors that most of us don’t have the chance to travel to see and can only experience them through videos such as yours. I’m more of a beach person but your videos got me more interested in finding out more about the mountains and the outdoor wilderness. May God bless you with peace and good health.

[@marniejane11]

You had some brutal looking portages on this trip! Breathtaking scenery and spectacular camping spots. I loved the underwater shots of the fish and the close ups of the frogs.

[@maxfly8169]

Thanks Xander, a great trip and the footage is awesome. Into the wild, a light version ) Greetings from Russia.

[@saxophonealto7165]

Wow it is so beautiful video. So relax and good place to meditation. Thank you release all the 🐠. You ate too much chili. All the animals won’t come to you🤣🤣🤣. You are safe now.

[@xXTRISTANXx]

xander, you capture everything so beautifully. the slow motion drone shots, the ambient music. you capture perfectly everything i love about camping and adventure. thank you so much

[@canoeman1961]

Very serene and beautifully shot. I can only imagine the work done to set up those many shots as you are leaving or arriving at all those sites. Love the drone shots ... incredible vistas. Thank you a job well done, that allowed us to share in your experience.

[@michaelcollins7709]

I thoroughly enjoy watching your vids. Your spirit, mind and compassion amaze me. You are truly special.

[@Lyamecron]

Its just so amazing to see you traversing the seemingly untouched nature. It really is something else to watch this adventures and I can only imagine how magical this trip must have been for you. Great camera-work as always, really amazingly done.

[@SeriousMUAddiction]

Your videos consistently capture that perfect balance of peace, serenity and calm mixed in with the occasional silliness and goofiness. They truly are a joy to watch. And your drone footage is always next level spectacular. Thanks for taking us along on another epic adventure.

[@MrMachoMan6978]

Your so good at this Xander I really appreciate your determination to produce these video consistently

[@joellachapelle5748]

Thank you for bringing me peace on my lunch breaks, with a noisy and fast pace job these videos always do the trick, can’t wait to get out myself

[@kingofrelax1113]

The music is so divine...it's give inner peace and morning vibes....so peaceful

[@looncan3743]

10000/10 . I think it’s cool that you get to do what you love while also making someone else feel at peace and happy. Thank you

[@amanrajpoot.ar04]

Can anyone please tell who is filming him from distance at 02:17 , when he is solo camping, and please do not tell that he left the camera and then went upstream again to pick the camera

[@jeanyoung8944]

To say you never felt lonely means you are your own best friend. Good for you! Love you videos.

[@stoneycreek42]

What an outstanding video. Enjoyable from start to finish with some of the best photography that I have ever seen on KZbin.

[@yourenotthatguypal99]

You're an absolute legend mate! So entertaining to watch and I look forward to many more. God bless you from New Zealand!
