3 Days Solo Wild Camping in Heavy Rain - no tent

- With nothing but rain on the forecast, I head out into the woods for a 2-night camp out with only my Tarp for shelter. It's a wet and uncomfortable trip but overall a very rewarding experience.

Sitting in my home office, in the middle of the concrete jungle - man I need these videos
Cheers Brother! Have a great day!
You need vacation brother.
Hahaha same here good one!
B
its no wonder depression and anxiety are increasingly widespread. We evolved to live alongside nature in small tribes, not in a sprawling concrete metropolis.
Can we all appreciate this man for getting into his cozy sleeping bag for bed, just to have to get up and grab his camera immediately afterwards 😂 lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
and also for waking up, turning the camera on then getting back into his sleeping bag. lol
I wouldn't be surprised if he can turn it on with his phone.
@@airsoft323 +1 this. He probably has some way of doing in remotely
Reminds me of les stroud survivor man doing all the camera work himself
Xander is the type of guy in high school that knows everything about survival/camping, type of person that always joyful and positive who look after people. Always good to have a friend like this guy and especially going camping with him.
Aww thanks my friend ☺️
Hi
I appreciate these videos! Getting ideas and some great tips from a guy with a bright personality;)
- and yes..dig the 'hair lip'
impressive self cut.
Impressive meal choices too! Love the pizza idea and the brie toast for breakfast
Hell ya! You know what's up;)
Ik
but fails all other classes ? 🤣
As a veteran of 25 years I feel for you ! That sound of heavy rain on a tarp and waking up in a cold wet sleeping bag brings back memories !
Nature's no.1 rule.....survival...gotta admire those guys who knows their ways into the woods...
"Sometimes you gotta go through the crap to appreciate the mundane" - genuinely phenomenal words to live by!!
Dude I love how you don’t gloss over the suck that is involved in so many camping adventures. A lot of these camping RUclips channels make it seem like fantasy land out there. As weird as it may sound, seeing you on the verge of misery is kind of inspiring and a great reminder that you gotta embrace that Type 2 Fun sometimes.
Agree
Type 2 fun might be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen
Type 2 fun lol
Agreed
Wow some of the best cinematography I have seen in an outdoors camping vid well done mate. Subbed
Thanks brother I appreciate that 😊
@@XanderBudnick
I second that...must take a lot of patience to make these videos and as a 70 year old aspiring camper I appreciate that!
And it’s solo!!!
@@swcellular fax he’s by himself so he’s always setting the camera up. I swear there was a time he kayaked far af and I was surprised that he probably had to come back.
I’m still waiting of the first indoor camping vid
There's nothing better than going out into the woods alone, even on the crummy days. Lol Gives you perspective, gives you time to reflect, these are my favorite moments! This is my new favorite outdoor channel! 😊
Not even with someone you like? 😉
Yes I appreciate these sort of video too, means I can experience the adventure while sat on cosy settee in front of my nice warm fire, then go to bed once my electric blanket has warmed the sheets.
Lol it would be great to go with someone I like for sure! But I don't mind the solo trips also! 😊
Utube, that also sounds great! Lol
@@teresawinstone2385 👏😮
after rewatching all your videos over and over all I can say is thank you for making such amazing content. seeing you grow on this platform is truly inspiring and always a joy to join you on your journey. Keep up the good work Xander. We love you!
Just wanted to say you are so right. I went on some pretty miserable FTX’s in the army and I got poured on and didn’t pack well my first time and I was shaking all night and barely slept. I went home the next day and I was the most grateful person in the world to have a warm house and warm food. I really do think if everyone spent one night in the woods they would appreciate what they have a lot more.
It’s midnight and RUclips recommended this. It definitely knows how to keep me up!
LOL facts!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Same
Me too buddy 🤭
Chame here
Same here
I can't even begin to tell you how rewarding this looks. Some of the most rewarding experiences of my life have also been the crummiest in the moment.
Thanks man. It's always rewarding getting out especially when it's difficult
I began to describe is as such, going on this kind of trip to the nature is hard, both physicaly and mentaly, but its so much more rewarding than the kind of obstacles that you encounter in your normal life. Doing taxes or trying to complete all the paperwork for building permits is much more draining and without such immediate reward. Its primal, life simplified into Its purest form, well almost.
People want the same life which was previously people live eat sleep hunting for food sleep repeat no tension no more strees work
I can wholeheartedly agree
Quick tip for anyone stuck on the rain that can't heat up rocks to keep near them due to rain or snow, you can boil water and put it in a nalgene and throw it in the bottom of your sleeping bag. Kept me warm in a blizzard for 2 to 3 hours at a time just fine when Temps got below my sleeping bag rating. In ideal conditions, using rocks will hold heat better and keep you warmer for much longer, but probably best not to put em in your sleeping bag and jusy kind of hug em through a coat or something.
I put the hot rocks in my cooking pot, then into the sleeping bag lol. Hand warmers and a hot water bottle help too :)
@@regbillings4955 didn't even think of a cooking pot, that's actually pretty smart.
Awesome video, Xander! This is just what I needed to see as I am preparing for a 2 day camping trip this weekend. Now I know to have a good sleeping bag and I was taking notes during the video!
The reason you’re so great is that you’re just yourself. So simple, honest, and natural. Very fun watching this video. Subscribed.
Thanks friend I'm happy to hear that
It's not just living the life the way you do, it gets more difficult when you have to film at the same time. Hatsoff
Shooting & than editing took great efforts
Got to appreciate the effort to get all the shots of you walking and stuff.
Thanks man! just part of the gig
Ontario has over 250,000 lakes, about one-fifth of the world's fresh water!
Amazing place that beautiful Xander brings us.
watching this guy videos at morning to waking up all day.
In a single day these videos have become some of my favorite things to watch on RUclips.
Mine too
You have a nomad soul, Xander! Never give in to easy'n comfy, the most sublime moments in our lives are forged in hardship and pain. Great video as always!
Thank you thank you :) I couldn't agree more! Have a great day
The look that he holds for several seconds after he saw the light coming from the thunder is PRICELESS (4:53)
You mean light from the lightning?
Loved it.
I almost thought it stuck. Shook my phone a lil.
I thought he was getting flash banged and the swat team was gunna kick in his tarp
*xander.exe has stopped working*
beautifully shot. thanks Xander have a great 2022. this is vicarious living for me. cheers bud.
I have been absolutely dying of boredom for the past couple of days but these videos have saved my sanity!
Xander-
This is the second video of yours I have seen, and idk what about this one impacted me so greatly, but your personality and wise words amidst a hard/rewarding experience like this really stuck with me. I’m a college student working full time in Seattle and COVID really zapped the life/fitness out of me. Seeing this motivated me to continue training hard and even get back out in the back country again this summer. I appreciate the work you do and hope you know it’s making a much bigger impact than just aesthetically pleasing camping vlogs (which you also make the best of too).
-Sam
Hey Sam, I'm happy that you got alot out of the video my man! It's nice to know that it has a positive impact! Aye things are rough right now but keep training!! I'm pumped they your getting out this Summer. Keep at it!💪
The shot at 5:05 was so relaxing dude. This is a type is asmr. I feel like pitching. Tent in my back yard
Right on!
I don’t remember you talking this much when I first started watching, love the personality it adds!
Hey brother that's something I'm happy to hear. Thank you :)
Watching this makes me miss camping so much! You also gotta love how energetic he always is. Love you work Xander keep it up the videos are incredible.
Why dont you go camping?
This is the best rain video I have seen so far. It’s natural and realistic
I enjoyed it!
Very good of you to out up a 22 minute video with no ads. Respect.
Everyone needs to sit somewhere like this and just chilling
Definitely
100%
Yes 👍
True, unfortunately not many would think they need it and neither enjoy it. Most would be complaining that there's no phone service.
@@saifaddeenal-manaseer6325 thats %100 right like man u need to enjoy yourself sometimes you need to be alone and spent sometimes with yourself
Looks like a beautiful area. I just tried tarping for the first time a few weeks back. It was nice - easier to be "present" than with a tent.
Bet it was a lot harder in heavy rain, plus ALL THE CAMERA WORK you had to do with perfect focus and framing... Nice work!
Aye it was a nice spot! Right on i couldent agree more! thank you thank you
What do you mean by being more "present" when tarping?
@@AjarSensation I think he means he can see more because the tarp it's only above him not all around him like a tent obviously making it harder to see outside
@@cyber-demon6847 yea i see it now :) and agree with it, and since there is no separation between outside and inside space it makes me feel more present in the natural environment
Man I just subbed because of how real you keep it, you don’t sugar coat any of the journey with cheesy positive affirmations, you’re just like “this shit sucks, I’m gonna keep going and finish this regardless” good way to live brother 💯
watching this old vid of yours. good to see you doing a lot better these days!
What a cool spot that was by the lake, just chilling and watching the thunder storm and the rain hitting the lake. I bet stuff like that makes all the effort worth it.
It was nice to watch!
The Audio quality is outrageous ♥
Watching this with pouring rain outside my house is the perfect experience
Fantastic to see a wild camper wearing wellingtons around camp. I totally recommend wellingtons, easy to slip on and off, protect your legs from brush and undergrowth, good against rain and snow or fording small streams. I have never seen them recommended by any wild camper video but seriously you can even hike 5 miles in wellingtons and good in winter as well if you put old newspaper or foil based insulation in the bottom.
Just awesome. Planning ahead, gathering dry tinder, etc. Love these vids, keep it up!
you have an awesome outlook on discomfort and appreciation, really enjoyed the video
4:55 when you realize you have an assignment due tomorrow morning
Nice

You are really someone who doesn’t take anything for granted thank you for these beautiful videos
Thank you :D and its my pleasure
The best survivor man I've seen...so simple so humble...i wish you the best in life brother and i wish to meet you someday
A classic 'type 2' adventure - it's lousy in the moment, but afterward you're proud/glad you had the experience, learned something, and spent time in nature. Nothing like being out in a good thunderstorm!
You're are some creator i always waiting for your video to come out. Simple, not too long, always interesting and new angle. And your bravery, it's inspiring. Waiting for more
Thanks brother I'm happy to hear that :)
This is the best camping channel on RUclips that i have discovered.I felt like i was camping together with you pal😁Anyway..loved your channel and videos.Greetings from Turkey👋
Hearing real rain sounds was blissful.
Hell yeah. I live in socal so it doesnt rain much but man i love when it does.
Getting a fire started has always been the trickiest part, love seeing everyone have their own method.
What a way to wake up on a Saturday morning. These silent movies are so soothing to watch. Thanks Xander.
Hey man, just wanted to let you know you're my new favourite youtube channel. Glad i came across your videos, they are absolutely beautiful. Sending love from Australia!
Thanks Thomas I'm really happy to hear that my friend :)
Just woke up and this made my day 100x better. Love your videos!
Aye! happy to hear Curt!! Have an Awsome day!
This is purely soulful, you would reach good subscriber count soon
The experience of real nature in one of its faces in open surroundings. Just amazing feelings as no one disturbs you neither your friends nor your mobile phones, keeping away from all these and wondering nature is a real life experiences
Been watching you since you were a small channel, your personal stories makes it almost feel like we’re friends.
Thanks a lot for the videos man, it’s nice to see someone grow and still be humble. Keep it up brother
I love the sound of rain when going to sleep 💤 another great video and trip, Xander.
I love all of your different locations, you get around lol
Cheers from Down Under.
Great video of how you live your days in nature! As a city folk, I forget how nice God’s land... thanks for sharing your experience
Looks amazing! If you are in a spot and have a fire I can recommend heating up some rocks, they keep heat well, have saved me in a pinch.
You are “The Man” Zander! I have confidence in you, that you will pull it altogether!
Man that was peaceful. The rain, thunder, crickets and fire had me nodding off :)
4:48 damn the back end of that lightning was incredible, I can only imagine how awesome that was ! awesome video man
Man, your videos are just good piece of work.. appreciate the affords at being both camper and the recorder.
Thanks brother I appreciate it 🙂
I give my guy a like before the video start because I know it’s gonna be proper 💯
Cheers brother happy to hear :)
I love camping in storms. As long as you make sure you are in a relatively safe spot, it's amazing.
Idk why but bushcraft asmr is some of my favorite asmr to watch
Being out in the wilderness certainly makes you feel more at home than in a crummy city. It’s also far more worth while.
I hope one day I can find a way to do this every year because just looks so peaceful. Always gravitated more towards nature.
idk bout peaceful more of a challenge either way you will learn something about yourself
I loooove these videos you're doing Xander. Part of me wishes you'd do a voice over explaining some of the things you're doing for amateurs, but the other part of me enjoys the majority silence.
It’s been like 3 days since I found your channel and I’ve been watching it in bed before sleeping those nights, it’s very peaceful

Great videos, I get home all stressed from work and just chill out watching these. Living your best life bro.
one of the best cinematography i’ve ever seen, you deserve more love!
Thanks my frined!
I love how he casually says hanging up the food to keep it away from the bears. Bro for a bear, you are the food.
Uhh oh
nah, it might attack him sure but not eat him
Nah bears are attracted to the smell of food not humans, you have to hang your food away from yourself so the bears don’t come anyway near you.
You inspire us all. Really like the part where you emphasize on appreciating what we have. That's a nice sentiment.
When I'm stressed I watch you or greg ovens best both nature camping style is the best out of them all.
I got so happy when I saw you using the Big Rock camp knife. There is something about that old cheap knife that I absolutely love. Especially for cooking.
A bilingual Xander this time ! Looks like you had a rough night buddy. Enjoying every videos so far, hope you still enjoy doing it too.
lol! aye it was a not so pleasant one to start for sure! Glad you're enjoying them! I'm still loving it :D
Beautiful, I'm passed the age of doing this again now, but love to see it's still ongoing, great views there chap👍👌
Thank you for showing us what perseverance looks like.
Oh, and btw...that haircut looks amazing, man.
Glad you enjoyed. And lol thank you
Nice honest job! You showed the good with the things that could have been done better for next time. Solo camping, in heavy rain, without a tent is a tough job! You survived in good order!
The way you capture your camping is truly amazing.
great . I like life like that, so close to nature!
Aye its the best!
Watching these videos and playing Minecraft is the same feeling
😭😭
Think I just found my new favorite channel 😍
This is the best camping channel on the platform!
Depending on the pitch of your tarp, tying a short length of cord to the tab will function as a drip line. The drip line divert the water from running along your tarp. I've used this strategy to stop water running down the suspension for a hammock and I imagine it could also work well for tarp shelters!
Man first of all salute for your courage,
Staying all alone in the jungle.. 💪💪 brave heart new Subscriber here
Thanks brother have an awesome day
16:33 is one of the funniest cuts I’ve seen lmao. Perfect timing
Great Effort.. Love from South India 👍
No one cares about South India 😊
@@alisultani5157 and ur comment :D
My mind body and soul craves this looks heavenly sound of heavy rain and those views ❤
I need to go out and camp. Just by myself, with my own thoughts and no distraction.
It actually sounds scary... I could not tell you the last time my life was quiet and still.
First watch, subbed.
Thanks from Scotland.
19:58 "I cannot tell you how nice it is to be dry right now" ........ "Well I guess I just did" ... "it's really nice beeing dry right now"
Haha :D
"...mistakes were made..." lol... #Truth glad to see you made it out alive!
Lol - thanks brother!
Keep uploading brooo love from india
Thank you, I will!

@Mass Arun I'm a rich lady (upper class family). My husband is a CEO. I certainly will not employ you as my gardener.
@Mass Arun here? Your English is terrible. Shows your level of education.

There something very relaxing and calming about the sound and sight of raindrops falling on water
Wow i never imagined rain to be more challenging than snow
Love from Andhra Pradesh, India 😍😍😍
Cheers Brother!!
Need alot of guts to survive in this rain forests
Salute u man 👋
He makes this seem so easy when really REALLY not. I've camped in torrential weather/rain before (I live in a tropical country where half the year is basically monsoon rains), and man, it was tough
Camping out in the rain looks so relaxing 😌😴 I would bring a better tent though 😅
Tarp over tent any day!
@@FANTonsil How do you select a place that won't get wet from underneath?

@@FANTonsil Thanks a ton friend, camp life is the best tier of living.
Thanks for sharing dude. The difficulty and discomfort of being wet, and still staying positive is awesome. Thanks again from the west coast✌✌
killer vids about the simple things in life, exercise, good food and adventure! Addicted to watching Xander camping videos. Cheers from Australia!
