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

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.

[@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. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

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

[@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 😊

[@tberkoff]

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

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!

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

[@thesimplechiclife]

Wow. I'm an indoor girl who likes perfume and Chanel, and the idea of driving to Nunavut does not interest me in the slightest, but I find myself continually coming back to your channel to watch you brave the outdoors. "Epic", as they say. Love to see the huge sponsorships for you Xander :).

[@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.

[@DOOMBRINGER_]

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 ❤️

[@jasonmacneil2256]

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!!

[@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!

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

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!

born and raised in Brampton and still living here. The past month of finding out about your youtube channel, has really made me think different and want to do better for myself. Im only 22 but ive been addicted to alcohol since i was 18. did pills and a bunch of drugs that caused me to have a seizure and internal brain bleed. was in the hospital for 8 days. long story short, you have helped me see the good in life and make a change. My parents are from Newfondland so i enjoy the outdoors a lot. Thank you tho for these amazing travel videos and the free therapy sessions through your words in these videos.
