Just had the pleasure of meeting Xander at the airport coming back from another adventure. Thanks for taking the time to chat with with me.I am looking forward to the video from the trip.
Xander's video is so long that I won't finish watching this one in time of release of your's Jon. But I will watch both of them to see different perspectives of trip 😁💪
hands down, one of the best outdoor adventure videos I have ever watched... the mix of wildlife, natural landscape, navigation, cooking, dialogue, and fishing is amazing.
Having discovered both yours and Lost Lake's channels independently and being able to see both of you so often in the same videos as friends is awesome. Long time viewer of you both, thanks for continued uploads.
Watched this for the second time when there was no other Xander programs to watch. It's so good. We'll watch it again and again. Love the comradery between you and Jon but alone or with someone you're still our first pick when searching out great programming on RUclips
For sure! That's one of the reasons why I love watching his videos. He blends humor, food, nature, and travel all into them. It's better than watching most movies and TV shows 🙌🏕🏞
I just really appreciate what you do Xander. Hauling a bunch of camera equipment through the wilderness, finding great shots, filming banter, showing tips, and after all that is done, spending who knows how many hours sifting through footage and cutting it into a feature-film-length piece of entertainment. What you do is awesome.
I love all your great friendships but even though you haven't met all your viewers remember we're your friends too . Thanks for such great videos. In a crazy world they bring a helping of peace.
I absolutely love your videos, the shorter and longer ones alike, when you are solo or in a group, it is all amazing. realistically I will never go on a camping trip in Canada, even though I would love to and I am in awe of the scenery :)) with your videos, I feel like I am almost there, it is amazing :D thank you for your work, your humour, sharing what you share, you and your channel really are gems!
@@outdoormcbain2346 When Xander needs something he would never ask of his "pretty girls", poor Patches gets the call. (She can expect to be ghosted for the rest of the summer.)
I used to go canoe camping once a year when I was younger for 8-10 days at a time. My favourite trip we ever did was to the interior of Killarny park. Second to that, I love the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park and the Temagami area. Your videos are giving me that itch to get out there again one of these days (Health concerns to get under control first). You've really opened my eyes to how many incredible places are out there that I haven't seen yet! The whole situation with your lip swelling up and having some absolutely hysterical moments with your friends are a great example of memories created you won't forget. A hilarious story you can recount in the future. One of my personal favourite experiences was on the trip through Killarny park, there was a forest fire on the mountain a short distance across the lake from us. Portaging into the lake, we met a group of firefighters resting along the portage trail, and we hike through the smokey forest carrying our gear. They said we were safe if we stuck to the trail and stayed on the opposite site of the lake. We had a great view of the fire from our site that night. I can't remember the name of the lake, (it might've been Nellie lake). I remember you could see straight to the bottom from the middle of the lake, it was incredible. We got to watch the fire on the mountain all night, with the lights flickering across the lake. In the next day or two, we climbed Silver Peak, and watched water bombers in action from there, as they replenished their tanks on one of the lakes below us and were dumping them on the fire. Appreciate your content Xander, keep doing what you love.
Xander I’m a new fan I found you through lost lakes last week , me and my wife have binge watched all your videos in less then a week. Now we will watch Jim, max, John, and everyone else .
I love your videos Xander. I also absolutely love that your sponsor is Headspace, and the very real talk on how mental health matters. The more we talk about it in society, the more likely we are to end the stigma one day. Stay cool man
About 30 seconds in, saw the second canoe and thought “man I hope it’s Jon!” I enjoy all of your videos but the ones with Jon are extra good. I really enjoy the friendship and dynamic between you two. Thanks for all the effort you’re putting in to keep us entertained!
Hey Xander, I just wanted to tell you that your videos helped me to relax and fall asleep during a very difficult time in my life. They gave me a calm feeling that I just wasn't getting at the time that I deeply needed. You gave me an escape from the prison I was experiencing. Thank you - Adam
It's a wonderful thing to share a friendship with us all, It's been very cool to see you both doing this together for a while now. Thanks Xander it makes an old mans heart warm.
Mosquitoes DONT BITE with water and vanilla extract 50/50. Spray it all over and it’s helped me immensely. Great video! Can’t wait to watch the next one 🤙
Your agility on the nearly last portage carrying the canoe on your shoulders amazes me. As does you filmmaking on some of the portages- camera down. Walk back. Canoe up. Walk past camera. Canoe down. Next shot. Unbelievable. Same with some of the river shots. Great work. Beautiful video of your wonderful lakes and rivers. From Down Under.
O my god, your lip. I'm not making fun of you Xander but that was the funniest. Thanks for sharing that. Too funny. And I'm glad your fine - thank goodness for Benadryl! Awesome trip!
Yes, you are showing your life, and what a life it is. Thank you for thinking out loud to us. It's one of the things that makes your channel so unique.
Oh I agree , they are great camping duo. So I like to meditate but I meditate on scripture, I'm putting truth in.I'm listening to the Lord and oh my gosh what an amazing joy it brings and peace. I'm discovered how much he loves me and it's changed everything❤
What a great video, took your advice and picked up a used Prospector off MarketPlace. This canoe handles so much better than my other one. Had it out in the wind yesterday and handled like a dream. Thank you, Xander, for all you do!
Great adventure guys. This is the second time watching this Vid. Me being from Northwestern Ontario and have fished and camped as far north as Red Lake. This and many other adventures you go one reminds me of the good times I have had in my past. Cheers guy's, I will check out you vid as well John.. tc..
I wish that RUclips had something stronger than a "like" that we could give. Maybe only like 10 a year to give out. This would get one. Longer than a movie and way more enjoyable. That last campsite was amazing. I could spend 3 days on that lake alone.
You two are quite the pair. I'm 20 minutes in, but have to break for BBC and PBS news, my daily habit. Will continue on later. Great trip so far. Those pizza wraps look good. Also the chicken chili.
I was just thinking to myself yesterday after watching some of your older videos, "I could really go for a new long Xander video with Jon in it" and BAM. Here it is, thank you!
You two are WAY too FUNNY! Was on this same trip about 9 years ago..total epicness! Will be headed into Wabakimi in 3 weeks for 10 days…looking forward to all she has to offer shortly! I have to say…I did laugh about your lip…So sorry Xander, hope you are feeling better!!! TY, guys!
Lol, Xander, at least you have an awesome sense of humor about your lip. That was a helluva bite! Glad you had Jon there with you to nurse you back to normal 😂😂
I hadn't even started the video yet and dropped a like. Your vids are my meditation. Thank you for uploading Xander, can't wait to watch the next one. :)
Seeing you beeing yourself, enjoying the time with another likeminded friend in the woods is just so satisfying to watch and just makes me happy. I really often cannot sleep because of my irrational anxiety and bad thoughts , but your videos somehow make me chill and sleep good. Thank you and sending love from germany. You got to come here sometimes✌️🫶🏻
Finished the video. Great cinematography, beautiful views, wildlife and wildflowers. That was quite a fat lip you had, but looked like the Benadryl worked. The fish fries looked good. The favorite here in Wisconsin is pretty much walleye. Nice adventure for you and John. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t usually share, but ur swollen lip was so funny, I sprayed my drink out bursting in laughter. 😂🤣😆😂 I am sorry you were stung, but u took the high road & made it hilarious!!!!!
I have to say i love these videos. i found your 5 days on a island video and you have made my day less boring every time. You have great talents and you should definitely keep grinding!❤
You and John are both so fantastic at this whole process. I've been canoeing for a long time but don't have access to a place like N. Ontario. I wish I could have done something like this in my 20s. A fantastic life! Congrats and enjoy (while we do too).
I remember that time Jon forgot some of his food on a trip with ya, Xander, it's too bad he didn't forget his pillow on this trip, he coulda drifted off to sleep at night resting his head on that puffy lip of yours...😂
The quality of your videos are brilliant and the scenery is beautiful. It feels like I am watching a program on sky not a RUclips channel its that good
Your adventurous spirit and love for the wilderness are truly inspiring, showcasing your resilience and connection to nature. Your ability to find peace and beauty in remote landscapes is remarkable. And I am Floating Village Life
Took a few days to watch this all the way thru. I love videos of the two of you friends. What a fun duo you make. I love John’s channel too. What beautiful landscape you get to enjoy! Thanks for sharing it with all of us! 😎
Another great video, Xander! Really enjoy the camaraderie and of course the pristine Canadian outdoors. The incident with your lip was a stark reminder that having the right items in your first aid kit is essential. Staying calm and having some humour in a medical situation like you did is almost as important. You teach us by example, thanks Xander!
I've been watching both you guys for over 3 years now, and if i hadn't watch The Outdoor Boys, there would have been a less of a chance to come across you two beauties. I keep up with every upload you, John, OB's, and MPosa put out. Keep up the great work. Justin from Cloverdale BC.
Great video as usual! Last time I was in a canoe and fishing, was with my dad when I was a kid. Never stopped camping though, and now that my kids are mostly grown, I've started solo camping. Nothing too adventurous, but I love being out in nature and unplugging.
Unfortunately I only made it now to watch this banger. So grateful that j can bench watch this and the 2h teaser after!:) Thanks for all your work! I would love to step into your footsteps eventually
Superb film sir. No idea how you reach such quality and creativity in your filming while covering such tough terrain. I'm sure there are many like me who appreciate the escape from our desks. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Xander + Jon = best camping duo. Their dynamic is always amazing and funny.
I totally agree!😂
💯
So true, love watching both accounts
The Bantering is great 👍, almost as good as brothers Jim and Ted. Enjoy boys 😁
There’s something about Jon that reminds me of a state cop on vacation..😂
Just had the pleasure of meeting Xander at the airport coming back from another adventure.
Thanks for taking the time to chat with with me.I am looking forward to the video from the trip.
Nice bumping into my man!
Please do not watch this video until I post mine next weekend. Faithfully yours,
Jontario
Xander's video is so long that I won't finish watching this one in time of release of your's Jon.
But I will watch both of them to see different perspectives of trip 😁💪
its like handing out free cookies in a kindergarden and ask em to not eat them for a week .... sorry jontario , cant do ...
I promise to sleep through Xander’s video so I don’t ruin the surprise.
But we love watching both of your videos :)
Shoot. Too late. Sorry Jontario.
hands down, one of the best outdoor adventure videos I have ever watched... the mix of wildlife, natural landscape, navigation, cooking, dialogue, and fishing is amazing.
Having discovered both yours and Lost Lake's channels independently and being able to see both of you so often in the same videos as friends is awesome. Long time viewer of you both, thanks for continued uploads.
same, great content whenever these two link up for a trip
Watched this for the second time when there was no other Xander programs to watch. It's so good. We'll watch it again and again. Love the comradery between you and Jon but alone or with someone you're still our first pick when searching out great programming on RUclips
Always love your sense of humor. Really makes the camping videos stand out from the others!
For sure! That's one of the reasons why I love watching his videos. He blends humor, food, nature, and travel all into them. It's better than watching most movies and TV shows 🙌🏕🏞
He's a rare Canadian on so may ways.
OMG YOUR LIP! I’ve never laughed so hard and felt so bad for someone at the same time in my entire life. 😂😂 I’m glad the Benadryl kicked in.
No time stamp is hilarious
34:00
LMAOff. You are so funny and handsome, even with a fat lip.😂
I just really appreciate what you do Xander.

The lip, OMG, its just..... too freakin funny.
I couldn't stop laughing, hahaha!
Bubba 🫢
I couldn't stop laughing... every time he pointed the camera on his face I just couldn't hold myself 🤣🤣🤣
"My lip has never been in my peripheral vision before."
That was a true LOL moment. Omg that was funny. Glad he’s ok though, was looking like it maxed out there for a second 😂
I absolutely love your videos, the shorter and longer ones alike, when you are solo or in a group, it is all amazing. realistically I will never go on a camping trip in Canada, even though I would love to and I am in awe of the scenery :)) with your videos, I feel like I am almost there, it is amazing :D thank you for your work, your humour, sharing what you share, you and your channel really are gems!
The LIP! I'm laughing out loud. You two have captured the spirit of Commaradarie while on an adventure. Great entertainment.
Would love to see "Cooking at home with Xander" - preparing your food fir the trips.
Pizza take twenty
it will be xander cooking a lot of asparagus 😅
PATCHES!!!!! Always a pleasure to have her back on the channel ♥♥♥
Patches gets treated pretty rough!
@@outdoormcbain2346 When Xander needs something he would never ask of his "pretty girls", poor Patches gets the call. (She can expect to be ghosted for the rest of the summer.)
Love how he acknowledged we fall asleep 😭, these videos are the only thing that helps me sleep at night

"5 minutes after 20 to 9" my man is a poet with the clock
Gods country…breathtaking ❤ Beautifully done, Xander! Thanks for the amazing trip🌞
The long canoeing trips with Jon are for sure my favorite content on the channel.
I love your videos Xander. I also absolutely love that your sponsor is Headspace, and the very real talk on how mental health matters. The more we talk about it in society, the more likely we are to end the stigma one day. Stay cool man
I absolutely love it when you and Jon get together y’all are so entertaining

Xander, you and Jon are the Yin and Yang of canoe tripping buddies! Keep on keeping on! Love your videos and photography!!
Hey Xander, I just wanted to tell you that your videos helped me to relax and fall asleep during a very difficult time in my life. They gave me a calm feeling that I just wasn't getting at the time that I deeply needed. You gave me an escape from the prison I was experiencing.
Thank you - Adam
It's always nice to see a father/son camping trip 😂
😢😢So sad no one is talking about those ending relaxation sound xander throws into his videos
You are doing a great job bro
Bless you
❤❤ From Africa
It's a wonderful thing to share a friendship with us all, It's been very cool to see you both doing this together for a while now. Thanks Xander it makes an old mans heart warm.
This guy is genuinely so enjoying to just sit back and watch
Enjoyable*
Mosquitoes DONT BITE with water and vanilla extract 50/50. Spray it all over and it’s helped me immensely. Great video! Can’t wait to watch the next one 🤙
This was my favorite episode yet. Great duo
Few things are as relaxing a viewing as a long multi day xander trip in mixed rainy weather. I genuinely smile watching these.
Your agility on the nearly last portage carrying the canoe on your shoulders amazes me. As does you filmmaking on some of the portages- camera down. Walk back. Canoe up. Walk past camera. Canoe down.

😂
Just love watching your chanel plus the sense of humor makes it so much more entertaining so a big thank you for taking us along x

Woooohooooo!! I'm totally stoked for this adventure, and I just love you both!❤ Thanks for taking me along, Xander!!!!😁
What a great way to start a relaxing Saturday morning, great video as usual!
I wish that RUclips had something stronger than a "like" that we could give. Maybe only like 10 a year to give out. This would get one.
Longer than a movie and way more enjoyable. That last campsite was amazing. I could spend 3 days on that lake alone.
Made my morning to see an upload of a new adventure. Thank Xander!! 😄
Omg I can’t with that lip 🤣🤣🤣 had me rollin guys!
Glad we did a lot of fishing, always more fishing!
Can't imagine you disliking anyone; you come across as someone who's never met a stranger. So John is a fortunate guy.
You two are quite the pair. I'm 20 minutes in, but have to break for BBC and PBS news, my daily habit. Will continue on later. Great trip so far. Those pizza wraps look good. Also the chicken chili.
I was just thinking to myself yesterday after watching some of your older videos, "I could really go for a new long Xander video with Jon in it" and BAM. Here it is, thank you!
Super glad I found you RUclips page enjoy every video been binge watching it for 2 days now one video after anything keep em coming.!
Yea!! A new Xander video & with Jon to boot... so happy 😊
the tranquility in this is really soothing. thank you.

That Secondhand Serenade bit, brought some memories back
Got to love a man that kisses his fish before releasing them back into the water 😊❤
Another amazing VID!! Go Go Xander B!! I'm forever a fan! 😍
“Tonight will be the night that I will fall for yewww” not me finishing the rest of the song. 😂 You guys are the best combo ever.
What a fun video 😂 you guys are too funny! Beautiful videography as well❤
Lol, Xander, at least you have an awesome sense of humor about your lip. That was a helluva bite! Glad you had Jon there with you to nurse you back to normal 😂😂

Finished the video. Great cinematography, beautiful views, wildlife and wildflowers. That was quite a fat lip you had, but looked like the Benadryl worked. The fish fries looked good. The favorite here in Wisconsin is pretty much walleye. Nice adventure for you and John. Thanks for sharing.
Dude…the lip! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time!!😂😂😂😂
Awesonesause! Love this. You and John are good people. Walleye is on my bucket list now.

loved the video you two work well together.
Nothing better on the tube than a parent / child video 😝with you two by yourselves Y’all’s stuff is the best!
Awesome, watching again !!
Been watching for a couple years and its awesome to see your channel now at almost at 1M subs! Awesome video!
I remember that time Jon forgot some of his food on a trip with ya, Xander, it's too bad he didn't forget his pillow on this trip, he coulda drifted off to sleep at night resting his head on that puffy lip of yours...😂
The quality of your videos are brilliant and the scenery is beautiful.
It feels like I am watching a program on sky not a RUclips channel its that good
Ahhhhhhh the lip
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m crying over here
🤣🤣🤣🤣 my stomach hurts!!!! Stop!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Incredible trip! Those cliffs on the river were amazing! Wabakimi is gorgeous
Holy shit the bug bite had me laughing for a long time hahahah
Love this duo vid. At least, Jon didn't forget his food this time! 😅
My wife’s lip has done that twice from sun poisoning. Did you ever verify what it was?
Nothing better than a fresh walleye shore lunch!! Just got back from two weeks fishing in Ontario. Miss it already!! But hopefully back in September!
Psalm 1:2-3: If we meditate on God’s Word day and night, we will be "like a tree firmly planted by streams of water.

" We were getting along "
" No we weren't "
Too funny, love Jon's subtle humor
Two solid gents, Xandorph and Jorb 😂
thanks for the laughs ans scenery boys.
I've been watching both you guys for over 3 years now, and if i hadn't watch The Outdoor Boys, there would have been a less of a chance to come across you two beauties. I keep up with every upload you, John, OB's, and MPosa put out. Keep up the great work. Justin from Cloverdale BC.
The bromance is real! Loved both of your trip reports and love the different perspectives. Keep on keeping on!✊

Great video. Love the scenery. You and Jon make a great team. Waiting for your next adventure.
I'm really digging your underscore choice. You've risen another notch, dude.
Superb film sir. No idea how you reach such quality and creativity in your filming while covering such tough terrain. I'm sure there are many like me who appreciate the escape from our desks. Thanks and keep up the great work.
