    You’re killing me Xander. Don’t need to cry first thing in the morning. Congratulations on your year of sobriety!!! Great video as always.
  • @_jaber1
    Congratulations on the year of sobriety. Your content is inspiring and a joy to watch. Keep up the great work and I wish you nothing but the best. Cheers!
  • @bfordmill
    Amazing stuff, Xander. I have 8 years alcohol free and I’m telling you that things keep getting better. AND I’m so psyched you felt courageous enough to be vulnerable like you were in this vid. Feel it, man! That presence is what it’s all about. Big time congrats. Be kind to yourself and one day at a time.
  • @sanct1ty
    It takes guts to (be)come clean and show your emotions like that, Xander. Much respect for what you went through and what you accomplished through your endurance. I enjoy your videos immensely and look forward to seeing more. I feel honoured to be part of your journey and adventures!
  • Respect for putting up a personal side of yourself for the public to see. My best friend is starting the same journey as of a week ago. Planning a hike for some new stimulus, using your videos as inspiration. Keep up the good work!
  • @psoostero9688
    Hearing wolves in the woods is an incredible experience. It feels like such a privilege. Man, you’ve really found your path and with all you give to these videos, and then sharing it all with us…also feels like a privilege.
  • I just congratulated you yesterday after watching your 2 year anniversary. You should be be so proud of what you have accomplished. Life is beautiful my friend, especially when you are truly participating in it. Hope you are loving every minute!
  • I know this is an old video and now you are three years into your sobriety but you have showed that it is totally possible to overcome addiction and live a clean, honest and healthy life and be productive and successful! So glad to support your channel!
  • @steve8421
    Sincerely, congrats on changing your life around for the better. We all enjoy your new zeal for life and what you have created on your YouTube channel has been real fun to watch. We're looking forward to many more years of Xander's outdoor adventures. And it's okay to admit you are hooked to campfire bacon like the rest of us.
  • @ThePipeiper
    Congratulations on sobriety, man. It’s an ongoing fight but keep fighting. Your candor showed me that I’m not the only one going through a tough time in life right now and I appreciate your openness and vulnerability. Your videos have been apart of the ‘corner of happiness and calmness’ I have. And I’m sure others can agree, in addition to the fact that your videos are hella entertaining, they also help in ways that no pill can. Thank you, Xander.
  • @nickbovee4372
    Even though it's been a few years; I'm happy to see you're still going strong and you've kept being yourself. Congrats on your sobriety!
  • @emancify
    It's okay to cry in front of your friends, Xander... you made millions of them in the last year or so... Mad respect. Namaste.
  • @mikestiglic1880
    Congratulations Xander! It's not an easy thing to stay sober. It will be something you have to work at for the rest of your life, but it's worth it. Thanks for opening up to us and thanks again for a great trip into the woods of Ontario!
  • I'm glad that I've discovered your channel, I've never tried camping, but you don't know how many times your videos calm me when I'm feeling anxious or can't sleep. So happy to see that you're enjoying it as much as we do.
  • Double Wow,I’ve been sober since 2013 and I’m very proud and grateful for your presence!
  • @eileenofearth
    Hey! I’m so proud of you for taking such a huge step during such a shitty time. It really goes to show who you are in your soul. Journaling and going on these camping trips has seemed to help you so much. You’re called to nature and you bring me peace just by posting these videos. I hope I can join in on your journey sometime. Congratulations man, keep working towards your goals and dreams.
  • @pslice1
    Congratulations on the sobriety! I don't think I have seen such a honest display of real emotion on youtube before, it was very touching. Best of luck!
  • @Six6legz
    Congrats on your sobriety - what an effort! I’m now 27 days sober and the hardest thing is learning to live without those dopamine hits. Thanks for all your great videos mate.
  • @scottyplug
