3 Days Solo Camping and Canoeing on Backcountry River - Moose and Calf Encounter

After a quick camp out and scouting mission last week, me and my Canoe named Patches come back and try to run a section of this backcountry river over 3 days. We expected rapids and smooth paddling but got anything but it, never the less I wouldn't change this trip for the world as it was one to be remembered.

    I just found this channel and its currently 4am because I can't stop watching. You've definitely inspired me to do some backpacking - I just need to learn everything first lmao. Also, not only are you an absolute camping beast but you've got natural knack for cinematography. The brush is scared of this man.

    Hi Xander! Thank you so much for making wonderful videos! I just found out your channel yesterday and now I gotta watch them all! I really love everything in your videos especially how you interact with your audience in your videos, how you set up your fire, the food you made, and the ASMR-ish sounds in your videos (it's surprisingly so clear I love it). I feel peace by just watching your videos. I have never canoeing before, but this video makes me feel like I was canoeing (with you). Wonderful experience by just watching your videos. What a time to be alive despite this pandemic status in my country and neverending self-quarantine. Keep up the amazing work! love you!
