    Really happy i found your channel. I struggle with my mental health, and when my depression takes hold, i have a tendency to want to disappear in to the wilderness. With a wife, 2 kids and a full time job, I cant really do that, but your videos allow me to have the experience vicariously. I hope one day to follow your path on some of these adventures!

    Hey Xander, first of all amazing content as always, then i wanted to suggest a video idea that might please a lot of us, I'm talking about a video of your prep for the longer adventures, like the 10 days in the winter, meal prep, gear, planning, this kind of stuff, I think it would be really cool and helpful for us :)

    I think it's the combination of how curvy it is (unable to see fare ahead or behind) and those little bumps on the walls that make it feels so much worse for me. I'm not claustrophobic, but there definitely is a touch of unease watching this.
    Awesome video as always

    Life is extremely hard right now. Lost my job, went from making 45$ an hour to 18$ an hour, bills are still based around that 45$ income. Working 160 hours a pay period to try to stay on top of things. Got cheated on and am finding myself exiting a 5 year marriage with a two year old son. Moved into my own place. Life is extremely quiet, and I can’t really get out to enjoy the mountains which I relied on to make me happy, so these videos allow me to get out in a way. Things will get better as long as I keep moving forward, I appreciate the content, showing off places without shoving ads down our throats. Your great, keep up the awesome content. While I may not be able to afford it at the time being or have the time, i can’t wait to get back out in the mountains.

Sht i live in Florida. And i can't believe anyone would attempt to slip their way through that canyon. You're a true adventurer. Love your videos especially the winter camping in the extreme cold.
