    you’ve been working hard pumping out these videos, just know we all appreciate it. can’t wait to watch this one ☝🏻
  • @mainetripper
    Xander you have easily become one of my favorites to watch on YouTube. Your humor, sense of adventure and clear appreciation for the wilderness make for great videos that we all can appreciate. Keep up the great work and I look forward to continue watching all of your content. Well done from all aspects.
  • @MrDarksade
    The fact that he filmed that 15:28 and came back to take the camera !!! Shows you how much he is working on his videos. Keep smiling and posting the best videos 🫶
  • Great vid mate. That ‘Found Ponds’ part was a crack up. 😂 Super jealous that you have access to so many beautiful lakes to canoe. All the best mate 🤙🏼
  • @Fr4nck94
    At 25:12 we can see something very interresting that hits me, Xander smiles at us like he realised the power of his footages. Quality and Quantity are both respected in his case. It's as if he understand once again that yes he gets to enjoy so much of it but he allows thousands of people to live it with him. Thank you for your videos Xander ! You seem proud of your work and you should be !
  • @mitchngin
    Mad props to Gustavo for those waking up shots. All that time spent huddled quietly in the corner of the tent patiently waiting the moment is remarkable. True dedication to his craft. Much love, my friend.
  • @nursemena8703
    My "Mom Heart" is beaming with "I'm proud of ya Son" kinda vibes. You capture the true essence of Outdoor Adventures. ❤ The Fun, Beauty and DANG Good Eats 😋 👍💯 🍳 🥞 🥓 🏕 ♨️ 🛶 🎣
  • @egtravel
    You inspired me to go solo camping and I just got home from 2 nights. It's not much, but baby steps and im pretty proud! I survived the evil woods from eating me alive and in bear country to boot! Love your videos... keep up the awesome work and stay safe! 👍🏻
  • Found your channel around 15-16 months ago and quickly became one of my favorites to watch. Absolutely love your enthusiasm for nature and wildlife. Crazy to see how fast your channel has grown and hope it continues! <3
  • @nicocubic7804
    xander, you're the only channel I look forward to seeing a new video from. the hard work you put into these videos does not go unseen! it really shows in your videos. so a big thank you.
  • I nearly expected to hear, "Can I have some of your food", while you were cooking 🤣.Shout out to Jon for the camping phrase of 2022!
  • dude, it is sooooo, soooo, sooooooooo satisfying to watch you have a "luxury" trip. simple things like the lighter, a freeze dried 'fancy' meal, enjoying a picnic bench, watching you allow yourself a swim. feels good to know that you enjoy some trips at a totally leisurely level.
  • @mattp603
    The effort you take to wake up, set the camera up, go back to sleep and wake up again so we can all see you wake up is really taking the extra step and i think we all appreciate it XD
  • Dude, that first waterfall and creek you took a dip in looked so refreshing! I bet it's awesome to have all that nature to yourself. Good food, beautiful scenery and hilarious antics/commentary. I love it 💯✌
  • @rnye29
    can't believe he choreographed a mechanical loon to pop up behind him at 16:55 . this channel keeps getting better and better
  • Xander, when I watch your videos you make me excited about life again, thank you for that, don’t ever change!
  • @ThyBlackWings
    That was an exceptionally beautiful environment. Gosh...I envy you guys in Canada to have this within your reach. Protect it, enjoy it, it's a true treasure. I am not allowed to sleep in a forest outside of a tent camp, not allowed to build an open fire. Greetings from Europe. You do not want to end us like us.
  • @freywayne6574
    As mentioned, we appreciate the amount of work that goes into making your videos, the extra shots and scenes, all the work editing that goes into making a nice cohesive story. Thanks Xander....
  • What a sunset! Wow! I feel so blessed to be Canadian and am humbled by the the immense, diverse back country we have. You show Ontario's beauty so well. Keep up the great videos.
