Ikr.. especially, when he puts on his snow boots for the first time.. lol. Overdose of kuteness..

There were so many highlights in this video: - Adorable dog helping out, raising morale, and sometimes walking in his booties. - Xander gets his drone stuck in a tree and goes on a short climbing adventure. - So many bushwacks and crazy trailblazing as they work as a team to get things done. - Lake trout catch! - Dealing with unseasonable warmth and having to improvise over slush and sketchy ice. - Awesome shots of nature. - Some techniques and tricks sprinkled throughout (including another Xander poop tip). - Making the smart and safe call when conditions grew potentially dangerous. - Skipping any recording on the last night, which seems like a clear sign of how exhausted they were after one sled went for a short swim. What an adventure. Thanks!

It amuses me to see how idiots eat polymers from the plastic containers and utensils they use for meals, then over time they get cancer or other diseases related to the consumption of synthetics and they don't know why it happens to them. Ha ha

Xander's talent for camera positioning and editing is just beyond any other outdoors channel. He is honestly such an inspiration!

These kinda trips are by far the hardest trips I’ve ever done. The only part that sucked was the slush.

10 days is quite the adventure and accomplishment 👊 I loved how the dog helped when he could and had his own sled to pull. Priceless!

What a ambitious trip. I’ve done it in summer but couldn’t imagine doing it in winter. You guys rock. Excellent video Xander

You all survived 10 days in the cold wilderness. So much to be proud of!

What a challenging adventure. A group of the best bush craft survivalists. You always make the best of what you are faced with. The dog just loves you - animals sense a persons energy, and you have great energy. Oh, and BTW, great to hear Max's beautiful music, again. Blessings.

Holy crap this Aussie grandma was exhausted after watching that video, I needed a nanny nap. Really enjoyed it, cute dog 🦘🐶😘

You guys are absolutely mental! I loved every second of it, what a trip! Also, extra points for the doggo content ❤️

Your videos always make my weekends better than they already are. Looks like you had a 4 legged buddy on this trip, he was so cute and such a good boy! As always, thanks for sharing your fun adventures with all of us ✌️😁🏕

I love how Jim is just a natural leader and just was giving so much to the crew. Him and Brad are true lads

Your videography is superb. Beautifully shot and edited. Scenery out of this world. A thoroughly gripping adventure! Thanks for taking us there. Nice dog, more of him, please.

It's my dream to one day find friends who want to go on adventures like these!

Great trip. I love how north pulls his own weight. Thanks for taking us along your adventure.

North is SO cute!! I love how he pulls his own sled, and he has so much fun with all the guys, especially Xander. ❤️

It was great to see the 4 of your teaming up with Jim Baird. The trip looked crazy like crazy horrible fun. I would like to see more of the 4 of you pairing up in these expidishens

Solid reminder that you don't make plans for nature, nature makes plans for you. Very resilient and strong spirited team! Watched the whole thing and didn't want it to end! Looking forward to new adventures, Xander

Really enjoyed your video. Hope you setup a group trip next year. I am turning 70 this year and my adventures are scaled back. So I am enjoying your trips all that much more. Being able to document these trips for others to enjoy is so awesome. Thank you for sharing. Your drone coverage is breathtaking.

Yeah go you guys!! Go the woof woof! Yewww!!! Love the videos from Australia!

It is after this trip that Xander changed his content to desert trekking in Southern California where he moved to Coachella and turns into a desert rat/santa monica surfer stud! 😁👍🏼

Looks like you and North had a little trip bromance going on. I hope Jim didn’t get jealous! Ha ha

My goodness y’all what a slog fest 😳 You are strong and of mind,body, and spirit for sure. Beautiful scenery and I call this “winter” the one that wasn’t! Nice to see you all together ( hi Max ) and North sure was a trooper as well. Shackleton’s adventure is one of my very favorites…beyond incredible. Thanks for sharing this Xander and I hope your next trip out is a bit more fun 😉 Be well, Barret💜

been following you and Jim for a while and its so cool to see you guys on an adventure together. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

North seems to love Xander. Tough trip.

At least lots of learning curves along the way. It also might have been a historical trip when you think about it, not only did you pass along as other men had done 100 yrs ago, yeah, with different cargo, maybe with a few more slay dogs but given the sluggish weather, you are showcasing Mother nature at her finest, rain, snow, sunshine, lost drones in a tree, doggy kisses, warmed up bacon and hot chocolate.

Incredible trip you guys . The determination in you guys threw all of the obstacles shows how well rounded you and your adventure friends really are . I love the winter and you just take it to a whole new level !! Thanks Xander !!!

It was must be one of your most memorable trip. Great effort for filming in such a hard conditions. Great video! 👍👍

As someone from the area, these videos have gotten me so inspired and excited this Spring and Summer to go and rediscover my love for nature. I never knew so many hidden gems existed in the area so I'm making a wishlist and getting ready venture out. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

I am much closer to my life's end than its beginning but even at my peak I never had the combination of strength, stamina and determination these guys have. And even though they benefit hugely from all sorts of modern technology, they are really impressive. The spirit that created Canada out of such a wild environment. PS I HATE the combination of wet and cold.

48:47 totally caught me off guard, that was hilarious. As always, Xander's dedication to set up so many camera shots is absolutely phenomenal.

Love the trip :) Jim is one of my very favorites But I watch you every day Yes you are Amazing...Also love you and John on trips... so looking forward to spring :)

I know I could never do what you guys did.. A lot of work, from putting up tents to taking them down and trying to walk through that snow etc.. what a trip.. and I would imagine very exhausting.. Jim's Dog North seem to really like being with you.

I’m always super envious of the trips you do wishing I was there but man... this one... I’m more than happy watching from the comfort of my home. All four of you (and the dog) are beasts for even attempting this. Mad respects and great vid as always!!

It was so beautiful to see ... Thank you. Really glad you guys found that snowmobile trail... Too bad there was no one around to carry your sleds for you...

I really love hearing Jim jabbering in the background of every video. You each remind me of aspects of myself. A truly impressive trip! They're all cool, but this one takes some of the most guts!

Another gorgeous trip. Loved the music, the scenes, and you roughing it, guys moving like a steam railroad train through horrible snow, up hills pushing to help each other along. Makes one appreciate what old time fur trappers faced with no help at all.

Peak youtube content. I love your humour your easy goings and your love for nature. Your stoicism is inspiring

“Two hobbits lay here.” Nearly soiled myself laughing at that gem. You always keep it as entertaining as it is interesting.

Love the videos Xander is always a massive highlight of my day to de-stress and watch your adventures. Thank you for the challenging work you put into these videos, we're all very fortunate to enjoy them.

Xander, I spent 4 years in training to become a pseudo voyageur by training in the "Arrowhead" of Northern Minnesota. We covered 3oo km with Birchbark and Cedar Canoes loaded both ways in the larger lakes. You guys are truly true voyageurs. We were not allowed "broken" port'ages on many trips but mostly we would travel on water and Ottawa and Huron Traditional Port'ages.

Man your videography is on another level, honestly! Thanks for putting in that extra effort to turn your videos from good to great. I really enjoy watching your content 👌

U guys did more than most of us could or would have! I'm just happy to keep ahead of the snow here! I can actually see myself doing winter camping thanx to watching all of u! Btw we had some awesome northern lights here about a week ago at Eagle Lake!

Great video! Loved all the different camera shots and the whole adventure. Well done!

Well done, so many obstacles, what an adventure. I’m thinking a dog could be in your future Xander? Loved seeing North hanging out with you.

Xander: "Blah, blah! You've probably been kissing Jim, too. That's disgusting!" The dog pondering: "If you think that's bad, guess what I was "kissing" before Jim."

This is nothing short of amazing content. Dear Xander and team…thank you so much. I’m watching this over a Sundays night dinner - what a joy!

i love how even though you are on a tough trip you still capture amazing footage. like all the clips where you are walking in the distance. your hard work is not going unnoticed!!!! thank you so much!

Great vid Xander. We were a few hours north of temagami the week before and the conditions were terrible. Real bummer but you made the best of it with some fantastic camera work and story telling as per usual. Not sure how well that reflectix idea worked for you compared to me, tent looked kinda soupy night one haha. Hope it was ok. Although this one was a ton of work im sure you'll remember it fondly.
