2 years dude. Well done man. Massive congrats. Mentioned this early on when you first mentioned your struggles but I haven't touched anything in 23 years. Stopped at 19 and every year that went past it got better and better. Im at the point now where I dont even remember the bad part of my life. If I can do it then you reading this can too. Reach out to friends and family and take that first step. Dont suffer alone. Stay strong. One day at a time.

I’ve been watching your videos for around a year now and your videos have helped open my eyes to the natural beauty I’m missing out on. Especially living in London, if only Ontario was a drive away. As soon as is possible for me I’m going to go camping and bit by bit push myself to hopefully be as good as you. After watching for a year I would never have guessed that you struggled with alcohol and or drugs, which is brilliant when you think about it. Congratulations on two years sober, you’re In inspiration. Thank you for your amazing content.

Striping yourself back to nature is a wonderful cure for anxiety and depression. The free things in life are the best.

You are truly blessed to not only have a brother, but one that shares the same passion for outdoor adventures!

I hope ones you hit million you don't stop reading comments. Specially us who have been with you from beginning... Great clip and inspiring at the end. I don't struggle with addiction but having no inspiration for anything and just giving up. Your clips help to overcome the darkness one step at a time.

Thanks for all the hard work, effort and dedication you put into every single one of your videos! Myself and all your views appreciate it.

Congrats on the two year anniversary and thanks for another great insight into the world beyond the four walls.

Congratulations on your 2 years of sobriety this grandma is real proud of you and the life that you've built and what you share that touches the rest of us is really wonderful. God-bless you Xander,, You got great times ahead.

Xander, you're an inspiration in more ways than one. Since the first time I've heard you open up about your history with drugs and alcohol, you have been at the forefront of my thoughts of people who have not only successfully rid themselves of their addiction problems, but also managed to turn their lives around afterwards. In my eyes, your youtube career is, at least in one sense, both a reflection and a documentation of that growth as a human being. I have personally decided to follow down this path towards a life free of addiction as well - today marks a humble but resolute closing of my first 3 weeks sober. Here's to many more weeks to come, both for myself, for you, and to everyone else out there struggling with these issues.

Fabulous intro 😂 At least you didn't go alone - Max is an excellent choice. Sunshine on snow is beautiful. Great videos, boys! Congrats on 2 years, Xander, that's AWESOME.

Huge Congratulations on 2 years of sobriety Xander! Your body and mind are benefitting 1000x more from Mother Nature and her wonders than society’s temptations. Thank you for sharing your story and sharing your trips so that we can all benefit from a bit of nature’s beauty in our day to day lives ❤

I haven't even started watching this but I already know it's going to be a good one, thank you sooo much Xander for sharing you adventures

Loved the smile you gave the camera at the start of the video. Great trip! Glad your brother came with you. Congratulations on your two years. 🎉 Continue staying safe.

Xander, congrats on being two years sober! Huge steps in bettering your life and what a great way to mark the occasion by being out in the wild with your, Brother...family! It means so much that you share your sobriety and can lend a voice to those who are going through difficult times with substance abuse, being an example that there is a path to recovery! Stay well and stay safe to you and your entire family!

Hey Xander! I just wanted to let you know that your videos have inspired me to start to go camping again. I am an Eagle Scout and camped all of my childhood but when I came to school I lost touch with that part of my life, and just seeing how beautiful your videos are has inspired me to get back into it. Keep up the awesome stuff my man!

Xander, congratulations on 2 years - what an accomplishment! Loving your videos and loving seeing these places as part of your journey. Can't wait for more 🤙🏻

I just turned 30. I drink myself to sleep every night. You have inspired me to get clean and live my life. Thank you. I'm going to try my best.

Proud of your ability to be open, you can change someones life with just honest conversation. Congrats on two years, and good luck on continued success!!!

Congrats on two years Xander! That's awesome. I love that you are so open and honest with the struggles and temptations.

Congratulations on 2 years now! Good job! As you were talking about it, I was reminded of the healthy fear of falling off the wagon. 25 years sobriety and still have it. Life waaay better without all that crap.

Congratulations Zander, you are inspiring many people with your sobriety and your bushcraft 🙏❤

Omg, your face in the first part of the video made me laugh so hard. This was an amazing video man, glad you had your brother with you. Gotta make sure we keep ya safe out there buddy ✌️❄️☃️

Congratulations on two years sober! You are a true inspiration to so many out there and it’s not easy. Keep it up man ❤ love from Australia

Wow Xander thank you very much for sharing this with us, I wouldn't have ever guessed you struggled with that health issue. I am very happy for you and that you feel you are personally in a good place. one of my favourite videos yet!

I'm a big fan of the fact you bring friends and family along with you. I'm growing rather hateful of the no talking ASMR style camping videos and your videos never fail to entertain Xander! I wanted to add, congratulations on the 2 years!

Thanks guys, very inspiring.

The mischievous knowing look at the beginning 😂 Wonderful vid I always love seeing Max on here with you! Congratulations on 2 years❤ May it continue well

Thanks for sharing this trip. So good to hear your story and very happy you are doing what you love doing 👍

I'm struggling so much with drugs and alcohol again, partly to do with depression from a very young age, but having to be a Key Worker cleaning the streets of London I fell back into using, but my alcohol intake became much more extreme, so I've now got to dig really deep inside my good self and the good positive side of my personality because basically it's becoming a Do Or Die situation, and I don't want to die just yet, I still feel I want more from life and watching your channel and knowing that you know what that struggle is like, going out into the wilderness and surviving that seems so much easier and so much more fun that the torrid depths of addiction, thanks for your words and actions Xander I've now got a little more hope in my heart ♥

I appreciate your candor so much. And you’re right; it does get easier and easier as time goes by. Thanks for posting this one. Stay with it man.

Thank you for taking us along for the trip - Love your content and congrats on your 2 year journey, it really means a lot to me and others & keeps us motivated on our future goals and journeys. Have a blessed weekend 🙏

I appreciate your encouraging words and I am proud of what you’ve done. Happy for you Xander! 💜

You are the Best! That opening scene was epic with you looking at the camera during the forecast on TV. One couldn’t be more proud of a sharp, genuine Young Man such as yourself to accomplish what you have with your sobriety!!! Your attitude, determination, gritt has shown you that you are just perfect as you can be, now. You are an exemplary model for others to follow. Thanks for all you do for us with your videos.

Love the video, the nature, and you spreading the word of hope for recovery. I just celebrated my recovery birthday on 11/25, and so grateful for the life it has given me, and those who have worked for it. Keep on keeping on Xander!

Congratulations Xander! You should be very proud of yourself. I love your videos, and I love your honesty.

Well done Xander! Really great to hear your 2 years clean. You have been so honest with it all and I have only been watching your channel for a year. Say the least I would never have thought you had a troubled past. But that just proves how well you are doing. Great advice to those that need it. Not to shy away from your great content and inspiring attitude to get outdoors wherever anyone is. You sure have me itching to get myself out and getting my family out. If you do get round to reading this. I'm a space nerd. I love your night sky time lapses. I bet the night sky is clearer than most get to see. The clearest I've seen is in Afghanistan. Keep up the good content . Peace

Very profound words of wisdom Xander. Glad you are in a place that you feel you can share them.

2 years Xander that’s amazing! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Sending big hugs from México.

You’re amazing Xander thank you for sharing your story❤️🙏

Congratulations on the sobriety dude. Really amazing to hear. I love hearing you share about little snippets of it in your videos and encourage you to continue to share when it's appropriate and not hard to do so. Your story is important and helpful to many people living with addictions!

Sharing your history is not easy but will definitely help encourage and inspire someone who may be watching. Thank you! Great video! (‘will go watch your brother’s video now. 😁👍)

Proud to hear - gives me some hope. I'm fighting my own battles with substances but the biggest battle is the fight to be happy. Keep doing what makes you happy! I hope I wont be far behind.

Congrats on the 2 years Xander, I’m happy you decided to do what you did because these videos bring me so much joy and happiness man. So thank you! And keep up the hard fight!

Nature is the best medicine! You are a true role model for people who may be struggling with sobriety. I have also found that the further that I remove myself from the temptation the less I desire it and instead it does not even appeal to me or the way I want to enjoy and experience a strong and healthy life. Hail!!!

17:13 CONGRATS, Xander. Proud of and for you… 🙌🏼

Congratulations so very proud of you!! May God continue to strengthen and keep you in good health physically, mentally, emotionally and especially spiritually!!❤❤ ❤

Dude! You are awesome. You are an inspiration to many if not all. Keep it up young man. You are blessed.

Great video, and especially the end, I hear you. It has been a difficult struggle at times. Thanks for the postive words about getting to the other side and being happily sober. I am very, very happy for you, and will take your advice.
