The shotgun is not silenced its just a muzzlebreak and the audio made it sound weird

Hey Xander brother, my name is Dylan and I'm 26 years old I found your videos at the start of this year maybe the end of last year, after many hours of watching every video you have ever uploaded you inspired me to give up drugs and nicotine for a life of outdoor adventures! I am recently 21 days sober and 21 days with out nicotine, I know it's not much but I have already been camping and about to go again shortly, I always wanted to change and it took me a long time but my beautiful wife and I am so grateful for you and you have helped turn my life around! PS: can I have some more poop tips please 😂

A Saturday, no classes, moody evening, outdoor boys and Xander? My prayers have been answered ♥️♥️♥️

Wow...the time-lapse of the ice shelf was amazing.

Your video brought tears to my eyes Xander! I live in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut and I used to do all the things you shoed in the video. I had a stroke a few years back and I can't do the things I used to do but I still try. I have seen and done a lot in my life up here but the one I love most is my 2 year Inuk grand daughter. Thank you for the great video.

This has to be the most positive and wholesome comment section on all of YouTube 🙏

Xander! That timelapse was maybe the most amazing "Holy moly" thing I've seen in a YouTube video! Thank you for your work on it!

The ice wall shot gave me head to toe goosebumps and a brought a tear to my eye. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your journey with us

You’re my inspiration Xander!! I am now 10 months sober!! You inspire me to go out and do the outdoor life little by little. I thank the creator, I’ve came across your content. Keep up the great work my friend!!!

I've been digging your videos for years now. (subscribed)
I was with you catching your first bass.
I was with you fly fishing for the first time.
I was with you as you learned white water canoeing.

This video is far and away your best work, and without equal as far as the cool factor goes. (no pun intended)
Despite it being an hour long, I didn't want it to end. Thank you for sharing this adventure with me. Simply amazing stuff, Xander.
I've never been happier seeing someone maintain sobriety.

From 29.30 the way the ice wall moves... Just wow!

[RyanMclain]

Huge fan of the longer vids. Production value through the roof too. Thanks a lot and keep em coming

Stunning video ❤ I loved the word for sitting up on the mountain thinking about your life and blessings. The indigenous people of northern Canada are some of the loveliest people and Im glad you highlighted that children go hungry. As Canadians we need to do better so that no one goes hungry in this vast bountiful land. We live on their land and we should be grateful for that. I saw you tear up and you weren’t the only one Xander 😭 ❤

Xander, I’ve been watching your videos for three years and I must say this is my favorite video you’ve ever uploaded the arctic glacier is moving the food the Caribou and just the change in environment was really really amazing to see and I’m thankful that you have the patience and cinematic eye to be delivering this type of content easily one of the best videos on YouTube

I absolutely loved how the dog sledding part was utter chaos from the first second of take off. One second you're sitting going, what's going on? The next second you're flying down an icy rocky terrain being dragged by dogs. LOVED IT.

Dude thank you from the bottom of my heart bringing us with you makes prb 80% of your viewers dreams come true to visit places that we would never be able to ❤❤

[justtheaverage]

The cool video shots and minecraftish music is enough to relax u to sleep. Be honest who has ever fallen asleep watching one of Xander’s vids just to wake back up and re watch 👍🏼

[jeremiahallyn]

Wow, those northern lights were absolutely amazing! Xander, you really spoil us with your awesome adventures. Thanks for all you do, brother 💯🙂

That time lapse of the ice wall sinking and rising was so amazingly cool! I thought, as you did, that nothing would happen, and then my jaw dropped. So BEAUTIFUL! And my other favorite spot was when the dog nose and knocked over the camera. What a ride on that dog sled! Thank YOU for sharing this trip with us.
