I'm pretty busy with sports and school coming up. But watching you do these quick one nighters makes me think I really could pull off camping every weekend. Thanks for the inspiration and euphoria.

We all have those days where we just want to escape off solo into the woods with the canoe named patches, finding a nice place to camp on a lake you've never been before, fishing along the way and eating some delicious food when you get there. Dont we?

I'd love to see a video dedicated to talking about all the gear you use for different types of trips. The weight of your packs etcetc. Video gear too!

I'm from Vietnam and we have been locked down for 4 months so you videos helped me go through this time hard time! Thank you, Xander!

True North, Strong and Free, literally the epitome of every Xander video!!!

[BobbyWinterGuitar]

These videos are just visual (and audible) relaxation. So peaceful and so entertaining. Please never stop doing what you do, I need the therapy these videos provide

As someone who grew up in the city I can’t imagine these places even exist. Your drone footage is amazing. 9:03 There are no building’s rising up or telephone poles or towers. Just God’s beautiful gift of nature. And you’re enjoying every inch of it. I envy you. Thanks for bringing it to us.

My favourite part of the video is always the cooking. Everytime I remember that calzone you made my mouth starts watering.

[talha]

I love your videos man! I have insomnia and these videos really keep me calm, all the lessons you teach are soo optimistic. I hope your YouTube channel flourishes and you get to do hiking trip all over Canada! Keep up the great work!

Life IS good, Xander! Thanks for sharing your outdoor adventures with me. I love your videos and your commentary, and the outdoor recipes.

[vandaviegas]

You did it again, Xander! You just gifted us with the most beautiful content and your growing skills as a director never cease to amaze us! I was just a little sad with the sad face you made when you said life is good. It may not be completely good now, but just take comfort in the fact that you are bringing happiness to so many people around the world with your videos and that you can always take the easy road to drown your sorrows, but instead you chose to turn your life journey into a piece of art. Stay strong, Xander!

You know it’s gonna be a good day when we get a new Xander video

[sumnaungoung]

The main reason I love this show is the amount of food this guy can eat and also how delicious everything looks

Love it, miss old days when we can travel anytime, has been to Canada 3 times with my two kids, cross country road trip is amazing, we pulled over in many little towns, woods and rivers, but never could catch fish! We have been locked in HK for two years, a very small but very crowded place, it’s impossible to be solo here. Looking forward to travelling again.
