4 Days Camping and Fishing on Noire River

Dylan and I get out on the Noire river Quebec for a little paddling and fishing lesson. Great to be out with my younger brother and fun to watch him bungle down some rapids.

This is the most underrated channel on YT. Unlike many of the other outdoor/survival/adventure channels, Xander isn't a former navy seal or some self proclaimed expert on everything.... He is relatable and down to earth. I love it. One of my favorite new channels.

Your brother will never forget the magic of the river and the woods. You gave him that.

After watching your videos for years, I was finally able to book my first canoe trip with some friends this summer; 7 days down the Noire River. I remember rewatching all of your videos to soak up as much paddling knowledge as possible and wishing you had one about the Noire so I could get some beta. How surreal to see you on that river, running the same rapids and camping at the same sites just a month after we were there!

My house burned down last Sunday. Last night all I wanted to do was go drink and try to forget I exist. 3 kids in a hotel has been hard as hell. I wish I could tell you how much this video meant to me in a really dark time. It literally helped me go another day. Still Sober 3 years and dialed in. I know I can do this! Thank you thank you thank you Xander I wish you could see the tears of gratitude streaming down my cheeks right now. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

As a life long outdoor educator i want to thank you. You are one of the few outdoor youtubers who expresses the joy of nature. Everywhere I turn it is gear reviews and the like which keeps people out of the wilds if they dint have the best. You rarely talk gear and always talk beauty. You are canoe zen and you make the world a better place. Thank you for spreading your joy, your troubles, your love. Thank you.

Honestly, this was your most wholesome video ever. This combo is fantastic. Such a blast to watch.

[leks]

i love this channel because every video is very wholesome and lowkey, but something about this video was even better. seeing the raw happiness of two brothers together is very special.

[Enhancedlies]

'you're adopted' is a universal slight lol, but watching you and your brother is genuinely is the most feel-good thing

Hands down my favorite channel right now. There’s tons of other people making the same type of content, but you keep it interesting the entire video! And you’re REAL! 👌🏼

[jackiemoon]

I always get a sense of calmness watching Xander's videos, this one was just that much more wholesome...

Hey xander just wanted to say, whether you see this or not, that i truly appreciate how many people you have reached and helped with your videos, you're just a down to earth, fun loving guy, having come from a similar backround in regards to addiction, your videos for the year ive watched you have helped as ive moved past my destructive past, ive just started to get into camping, more glamping than anything but its so far ive just appreciated the connection with nature, i am all the way in australia so different landscapes but the connection is still the same,

My wife and i watch these videos when they come out, and i will always

Appreciate you and everything your doing in life, we are all just a drop in the ocean, but some drops make bigger ripples than others


Much love from down oz

What an awesome trip with your brother . He did awesome with the help and encouragement from a great teacher . Xander, your channel has been incredibly uplifting and an inspiration for me over the past 2 years, while overcoming many years of addiction. Ill have 2 years sober in november, and ive found myself getting back to the life i love, outdoors, in the woods, on the water and just regaining a sense of purpose. And you my friend contributed to all of that in a bigger way than youl ever know ! Thank you

[Sheltonism]

Seeing you with your brothers and dad makes me recognize how much I miss my own father, love my son, and regret being an only child. It seems that they are not just family, but truly your "tribe". You are blessed to have so much love in your life. But I suspect you already realized that...

[willis]

always a delight to see a new xander budnick video in my feed 😊

[beo.]

I just love how humble and gentle you and your brother are, especially thanking the fish for its sacrifice. Thank you Xander❤

[Travelingenie]

Oh my gosh! That is the cutest video; watching two brothers hang out and have a good time!! Great job !😊

[Leilocaable]

Xander, it's been a while... So nice to see your videos, a new one, again. I'm so happy!
Tks
Big hugs from Brazil!

The family blooper at 17:38 got me, im Aussie so the Aussie accent was hilarious. Love this channel man. I use it to go to sleep.

[lizadams]

Xander!! Love your vids, sense of humor, darling face! I’m old now but I get a knot in my stomach when I hear your rapids. Loved those days living out in nature. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures.

Been watching this channel for about 2 years now and last weekend I got in a kayak for the first time! I appreciate how much you love it, because it's made a lot of us love it too.
