Will Xander be able to completely carry us both to the finish line? Tune in next time to find out. Saved my butt in this episode 💚

Leaving the food must have been a total gut punch. You're always so well prepared.

If you live through the trek, without debilitating injury or illness, you succeeded. I used to backpack with a guy that was ALWAYS borrowing. Anything from food to tweezers, to whatever. I stopped hiking with him. He wanted a light pack. He didn;t forget like John did. Makes for some awkward moments. Blessings all.

This was an emotional roller coster! When Jon realised he forgot his food my heart sank. Then watching you guys get through it all was great. Keep it coming, great stuff!

Hi Xander, hope you are well. I don't expect you to see this but I wanted to say thank you! I'm going through some mental health issues at the moment and watching your videos gives me so much joy in a time I didnt think it possible. I'm looking forward to winter as your cold weather episodes are my favourite. Take care, Liam xx

Just wow, can’t wait to see the rest of this adventure. Xander you are a beautiful soul, positive and that killer smile. Man the challenges right off the hop, however, you kept it light and truly just made the best of it. I especially liked the clip about you eyeing Jon as food. I felt his pain when he realized he forgot his food.

Having to switch from recreational fishing to fishing for need made this episode one of the better experiences I've watched on the Tube.

You guys are more and more awesome with each trip. Seeing the mistakes and real emotional struggle mixed with humor makes for awesome adventures!

The comraderie between you guys is awesome….positive attitudes and true friendship always wins!!

You and John are a great match for this trip. I’m so glad you paired up to do this epic outing. Both of you are such an encouragement to each other. Can’t wait for the next one. Glad you are both safe.

Xander, the type of friend everyone wants and needs. Jon's a lucky dude 😊

25:25 Wish someone looked at me the way Xander looked at John. And I was really sad that John forgot his dehydrated food, you guys really had a good attitude afterwards as always humourous and fun to watch. You guys were definitely "In It".

This duo makes for great content….and finds way’s to over come things , life throws you punches and no one is perfect……way to work as a team ! Can’t wait for more and Jon’ point of view!!

The Brook Trout. Jon: It is the most difficult to dispatch because its so beautiful. Xander: Oh, I broke its head.

Love how this completely encapsulates all of the emotions involved with camping from the highest highs of eating Brook trout with steak seasoning, to the lowest lows realizing you don’t have a third of your food. These episodes take me right back to my camping send last summer and get me stoked for my future endeavors this summer! Thank you both for the great episode!!🫡

You have inspired me to start hiking, Xander. I leave on my first overnight hike tomorrow! Cheers from Central Queensland, Australia!

Always luv Xander and Jon trips. You guys rock. The scenery and the video u take are breath taking. And I understand the moment when you really are into the trip. Fantastic keep this summer adventures going. 2022.

I'm 5 minutes in and this is already one of my favorite videos. I love the Lost lakes channel as well and it's always fun when Jon is along for the ride with Xander

I can't wait for the rest of this trip. Seriously your channel is some of the most compelling and well produced adventure content anywhere, and your humor (and food choices) take it to the next level.

31:22 *decapitates fish* “ALRIGHT 😃” *proceeds to attempt to throw the head to his buddy ol pal Jon* I do love your videos Zander, the little moments that make us giggle and appreciate how genuine you are is what makes me constantly come back

Wow what a wonderful adventure and true friendship I can feel the love! Thank you for sharing your time in the wilderness I would have loved to be in on it in my younger days!

You two are great together, so much heart and smiles. Thanks for bringing us with you!

watching this epic adventure the interaction of the 2 of you every single second brings joy to my life it's as simple as that the very best to you both, always

So glad your had a blast. Grateful you decided to share your experience with us all.

Bloody awesome start boys. Regardless of the obstacles, the attitude and comradeship is incredible. Can’t wait for the next episode.

Missed you and your videos so much while you were on this trip! Hope you had a blast, cant wait for more!

Wow. What a rough start. At the same time you guys Deffinetly make one hell of a team keeping it together and staying positive. Biggest key to staying safe out there. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the adventure.

What an epic adventure! You guys have such a dynamic chemistry. It's fun to watch you guys adventure together. Bravo on pushing forward! Cheers to the both you!

You guys are an epic duo! What an amazing trip. Excited to see part 2

What an amazing trip. I can only dream of doing something like this one day! Can't wait for the second part!

Seriously epic. Best part is the reality of the grind and watching you guys keep positive and appreciate the experience. Great example for others to follow. Keep up the amazing work man

Great adventure! It's so good of you to share with Jon. I love both of your channels and you two make a great team. 👍💞🤗

You 2 crack me up and I learn along the way lol at your expense. Keep doing what you’re doing and remember it’s not the mistakes you make along the way it what you do with them. Can’t wait to see more

Love to see the more serious sides of things, this is the difference between some casual adventuring and proper backcountry trekking. Both are loads of fun, but appreciate the amount of respect you give to the situations you guys found yourselves in. This is the type of trip that pushes your comfort boundary a lot, and it's great to see that y'all kept your wits about you and your spirits up!

What a way to start off the trip...was totally entertaining ...great editing...can't wait for part 2...cheers Xander 👍

By far my favorite videos are when you're with Lost Lakes. You two have such an amazing friendship and make me cackle. Yes, cackle. You two should consider a joint channel! Or at least a playlist on each others' channel.

You and Jon together are pure gold! I see your friendship blossoming and your work together improving. What a super video!

You two, in the wilderness together is amazing! Looking forward to Part 2 of this and then seeing Jon's version. Keep it up guys -Sean from NH

Amazing first few days! Sucks about the forgotten food, but you two are rockin' it! I half expected you to be wearing a tux when you were previewing the dry suit 🤣 Can't wait for the next part and Jon's take when he uploads it.. good times! 🍻

Loved the video, the verbal back and forth, and amazing scenery. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip.

This is a precious experience and with a good friend. Beautiful.

Awesome fun video Xander. Always love the fun and challenges you and Jon have together. Such a great buddy.

Looks like too much fun! It’s so beautiful over film I can’t imagine what it would be like in person. Can’t wait for part 2🤟

Awesome video Xander! Thanks for taking us on this journey.

Was only going to watch the first 5 minutes and save the rest for tomorrow, but there wasn't a single moment to break away from that. I was either laughing, or speechless that entire video. Absolutely cannot wait for the next.

I'm sure you've heard this a lot, but every time I see one of your videos it revitalizes my desire to go outside. You are a great advocate for the beauty of Canada. I am both envious and appreciative of your adventures. Thank you for sharing them with us.

First video I've seen of yours (came from lost lakes), not even 5 minutes in and I'm absolutely hooked! Your smile and laugh are infectious and you have such a light hearted and cheery disposition - I love it! New subscriber for sure

Found your channel via Jon’s channel- this is so interesting to watch so very real, it’s great to see Jon really gaining confidence on the river rapids and so informative as to how actually dangerous and how skilled you need to be. Great watch guys

Great advice at 2:32! It's so hard for new paddlers when they get hung-up on obstacles. It wasn't surprising to me when John let go of the paddle to grab the tree. It's a great way to learn. Also, I just love this stuff. What a beautiful and fun river.

This is gonna be an awesome trip to watch. Can't wait for the next ones. Hopefully the food situation gets a little better, lol. ✌👍

Yet another trip for the bucket list. Thanks for the great footage. I can’t wait to see how the food works out.

OMG Xander…You’re such an inspiration I’m learning so much just listening at your ventures

Simply EPIC! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip!

Your the man Xander, always in control of your emotions, clear headed, no panicking. Great video.

This first part already feels like an epic. Can't wait for more! 👍🏽

Thanks for the reality of adventure Xander! Thoroughly enjoyed and is inspiring to go for longer trips

Amazing start to the series! Can't wait for the next few!

Love it Xander. I'm jealous... can't wait for part 2. Cheers!

I started watching Lost Lakes first...and now I watch both. You guys make a great team.

5 minutes in and loving it already. Can’t wait to see where this series goes. Cheers Xander

"He doesn't need all his limbs." I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!

Your current video got me pump to watch another and this is the one that came up. Really praying for jonathan that he's able to get up and out on the river soon. Let him know how much we care about his health and how he's doing. Take good care of yourself, Blessings❤

Can't wait for the next episode! You all are a great team! Cheers!

Looking forward to part 2. Really enjoy your adventures together with John!

Xander Buddy, you're of a kind & that's what I like 👍 about you 😊

What a wild start to what will be an epic trip. Looking forward to more. Nate

Thanks for coming out with these series of videos! So excited to watch them. One of the best channels out forsure !

I have an old friend that I have fished with all my life. We are just on the same frequency. Our friends say we could have an adventure in a parking lot. My wife says you two remind her of my friend and I. It is rare to be able to capture that. It must be satisfying to see it come to life. As a member of the viewing family, I look forward to each new trip. Jon is such a perfectionist and you are the butterfly. That usually doesn't work. When it does, it is magic and comical. I'm glad he taught you to fish. As for paddling, it appears he is a bit of a slow, and forgetful student. Too bad you didn't win the hammock. I didn't either. lol

This is awesome! What a challenging couple days. Y’all are some damn troopers! Can’t wait for the next one.

The sign of a good canoe tripper is when they work around a equipment failure or missing gear. Good job guys!

I can well imagine that both you and Jon hear all the time how GREAT your videos are. You guys work so well together as well as by yourselves also, and go to some decent locations. I think I could well identify with Jon realizing what he mistakenly left behind. I'll always remember the helpless feeling of being in basic training in the Army and being informed that we were going to get a "pleasant" and unannounced SURPRISE of tear gas upon us while on Bivouac. I reached for my gas mask which somehow was NOT at my side. In one of those "typical" Army moments where they YELL at everyone to "GET OFF MY TRUCK"...I realized it must somehow be still on that truck. Fortunately, after all my worry...I did survive the ordeal as the wind that day was blowing away from me. I think Jon will do fine with his experience on this trip. Both of you could easily handle being on the "ALONE" show. For an old goat like myself, I get to live these trips now from my "easy chair". Thanks, guys!

Amazing, just amazing. Can't wait for the next episode!

Can't wait. Love your vids Xander!

Very nice to watch how you guys enjoying this and teach us things

Man another epic trip. I enjoyed the video and can’t wait for part to. Feel bad that your buddy didn’t bring all his food but because of your kindness y’all will be ok

Soooooo excited to see the following videos! Great work once again Xander. We have missed you and your vibes buddy! Sincerely Peter from Denmark

As a Swedish person I will have to wait to watch this video until tomorrow evening. So stoked to watch this series!! Tanks for being you Xander!

Its cute how you and John have a couple of matching outfits. Looking forward to the BFF bracelets. Also must be nice to catch a brook trout and get to eat it...

This was amazing to watch. Can't wait to see the rest!

good team work, a road to a genuine friendship, congrats to you both you made it

That looked like helluva great time. Perfect outdoor activity. Loved it , Xander! Keep it up. 🤠👍🏕🔥🌲

Your video makes me feel at ease. I love these kind of videos!

My wife and I love watching your videos!

Man!! I've watch a bunch of canoe videos, but this one had my heart racing. What an adventure. I was totally into to it. Looking for the line, choosing my route. I felt so bad for Jon. My biggest fear is forgetting something. I make lists. Waiting for part 2.

i work at an outdoor shop and got to recommend your videos to customer just getting into it! awesome stuff as always

I just adore you boys.... so grateful that you're sharing your journey (and sometimes, madness) with all your followers. ;);)

You are such an inspiration my man. Been following you for quite some time now, love it!

I love how you plop stuff down! (rocks, wood, etc)
