    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.

    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. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    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!

    • @Fknheck
      @Fknheck Месяц назад

      There’s a lot of really good courses you can take to make canoe tripping safer with knowledge if it’s something you want to do more frequently! I definitely recommend at least watching some swift water rescue videos online and first aid is big one! The longer the course the better

    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. Alex and megan, missouri ozarks (we have some amazing rivers, though not as wild as yours

    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

    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...

    This one hit home… I’ve been watching you for a while now and it’s actually wild how much you remind me of my older brother… plus my names Dillon and I’m a candy head too. 😂. He struggles with alcoholism and I spent most of my life in foster care. I’m 27 now but I hope one day me and him get to have an experience like you and your brother. We don’t talk much these days but I send him your videos hoping he can see what life has to offer for someone with a relatable life experience. Life’s been a roller coaster for him. Thank you. Your videos help me in many more ways than I had imagined the first time I watched you. Even just ust did 4 days on a remote island bc of you and it was life changing 👌🏼 keep doing you!

    Great times, sharing with your brother Dylan. Fishing was great. Xander, that pocket canyon is a great canoe, with it's rocker it is perfect for swifts and white water and tough as nails. It will serve you well. I'm always glad to see your content.

    What a great video Xander! Thanks for taking us along and bringing Dylan with too. You are so fortunate to be able to share your life and love of the outdoors with your dad and you brothers. I can see you cherish those moments. My parents are gone and my only sibling (sister) passed away nearly three years ago. I miss all of them. It gives me great joy to see your family enjoying time together. Thanks so much!

    Xander, happy to see your adventures again. Respect for your effort to keep walking or canoeing back and forth to put the Gopro down again. Worthy of National Geographic as far as I'm concerned. Discovered your videos back in the day and how you let us enjoy the beautiful unspoilt Canadian nature. I live in the Netherlands where we don't have this. I watch it every day before going to sleep. Thank you Xander, be safe and hopefully you will continue to do well mentally. I'm already looking forward to the next solo video, with your brothers or Jon. Cheers Margot

    It seems so strange to me that two brothers who are such skilled outdoorsmen and so comfortable on the water, who both think nothing of long solo trips in the wilderness and down rough rivers , would have siblings that are absolute greenhorn newbies to the experience. Good mentoring, Xander! You and your brother will remember and treasure this trip for the rest of your lives. Welcome, Dylan!!! You did good!!
