Doing all of those cinematic shots by yourself is absolutely amazing. The amount of work you are doing, like carrying the boat then coming back to take the camera, setting up different angles. I never expected this kind of quality from a free KZread video. Thanks for such a good content 👌

So easy for us to sit back in the comfort of our homes and watching him! But imagine being in his situation especially when it’s raining so heavily you can’t do anything ,no fire nothing ! Huge respect to you Sir! Thank you for all the hard work and struggle you go through to make content worth watching for us boss!♥️much love

Same here. Childhood trauma had left me prone to anxiety and panic attacks. I managed to finally overcome them and haven't had one in years but last night all the doom and gloom fear mongering got to me and I could feel despair and panic starting to rise up in me again. In desperation I looked for something calming to watch and came across this channel. After a few minutes my panic was gone and the world made sense again, my sense of perspective returned. I wonder if Xander realizes how much more than just entertainment his videos are for so many in these troubled times. Sorry for the long winded reply but I wanted you to know you're not alone. Hang in there, the movie gets better

Can’t express how beautiful and calming your videos are and with a touch of humor, makes them perfect

The production quality on this is phenomenal. I think most people don't realize the attention to detail, like for instance don't realize that he leaves his camera at a spot, shows himself walking away, then walks back to fetch the camera. It's especially insane when he did it for that hill shot when the fog rolled in, he walked a pretty far distance but trekked back to fetch the camera afterwards, or that one shot where he started rowing his raft but then probably had to row back and fetch the camera. It's amazing.

Man put his camera up the peak, to go back down and capture himself climbing back up. The dedication that goes into framing some of your shots is next level.

Fantastic trip man, love the atmosphere and shots you put a lot of effort into. Thank you for the content!

Hiking to set up the camera….walking back to the starting point…..hiking for the shot….retrieving the camera…continuing the hike. Repeat steps 1-5 throughout the entire day. All for multiple 5-20 second clips for OUR enjoyment. Absolutely incredible

What a beautiful place. Just laid back and hear the sound of rain really made my day. Thanks Xander, watching your content literally cure my depression.

Those underwater shots starting at 13:45 are off the chain. What a beauty lake.

That was an AWESOME trip! Like you said, even the rain is beautiful if you can prepare for the conditions. What beautiful country and those white rock mountains are to die for! Glad you took me along for the trip! Thank you!

Life sure seems calmer when I can watch your amazing vlogs mate. Respect and huge thanks for continuing to produce great content. Cheers.

Canada.... the best back yard playground on the world! Such immense unspoiled beauty! Great trip... 4 days solo... with that all around you... that certainly gives you time to get your head together again. Great stuff.

dude, I'm loving this video! Well done. just came home from a single nighter in local forest. also heavy rain at night, but real nice for being end of Oct. hoping for more content. very inspiring!

Thank you, Xander. The extraordinary natural settings you explore provide a satisfying spiritual element to your videos. Thanks for allowing the camera to linger over those views. Sort of like a visual version of "Walden" or other naturalist writings, such as John Muir's. Or the photos of Ansel Adams.

@5:38 the rain, the crackling thunder so calming, pleasing to my ears, i’m ready to nod off. @19:10 epitome of a mark’s flyers, a handsome man, picturesque outdoor on a canoe. i wish this was a bit longer, t’was awesome! always thank you!

I don't know if realize this but the amount of work and time in making these kind of videos is enormous. Respect to you sir

Man this trip was amazing. The falling orange leaves from the canopies + rain and storm . So nice

Can’t tell you how excited I get when I see a new video released! Makes my week keep up the awesome content Xander!

Hey Xander! Absolutely love the videos. And I would absolutely love a quick video about how you pack your gear. Like a video showing everything laid out that you pack for a trip, and then how you pack it into your bags etc, that would be so interesting and informative/useful. Keep getting our there, its such a pleasure to go on these adventures with you.

Love the rain man. The sound of rain has so much calming effect.

Just found your channel after your -20 degree without a tent video was on my recommended feed. I'm so glad it was. These videos are extremely high quality and really adds a perfect calming mood to my day. I really feel a sense of being at that area while watching. I can't express how much I appreciate that you upload videos like this. I look forward to catching up on past videos and all the future ones!

You're videos are a hundred percent binge worthy. They're always so entertaining and peaceful and educational. I hope you keep continuing the great workk always looking forward to your vids 💕

I kinda wished it's an hour long at least. I can't get enough with the amazing view of nature. Keep the post coming Xander!

absolutely the most gorgeous/breathtaking landscapes ive seen. on my bucket list to camp at least at Nelly lake and hike around. watching the thunderstorm and rain gave me butterflies. missing the summer while its been a record amount of snowfall here in mb. agree this is my fav vid rn. thankya!

Such brilliant quality content through and through, such an amazing guy and channel. Thanks for sharing everything with us!

I'm so glad you were with Lost Lakes so I could learn about you. I've watched 3-4 videos a day to get caught up! Love your work.

Honestly you are becoming one of my favourite channels. Love that you are so open about any mistakes and can always shrug off bad weather (not that the rain is bad). I'm also a small town Ontario boy, grew up watching Les Stroud and was always so fascinated by Ontario's wilderness. I haven't done much exploring myself yet, but next year once my student loans are paid off I am planning on doing some solo trips. I don't have a car so I will need to train/bus up north. Any suggestions on where to go for a beginner to do maybe 3-8 days solo with no canoe? I was considering Lake Superior Park but haven't made up my mind.

You should listen to or read the book of camping and woodcraft, a guidebook for those who live and travel in the wilderness by Horace kephert, it's free on KZread, as is the book titled simply, nessmuk's guide, or something like that.

Your videos are like therapy in these troubling times. (as others have mentioned) Thank you so much for sharing!

This is SO BEAUTIFUL !!! OMG. Thank you so very much for all the hard work you did to show these places !!! Wow !!!! THANK YOU !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The effort put into these videos is absolutely amazing

The sounds of the rain and thunder are so smooths. Much love from the Philippines, man.

Thanks for the great trip really enjoyed it the whole thing of it!! I'm glad you're always safe out there. Beautiful scenery on land and water. And delicious food that you make.🙂🦝👍✌👋

Man, you seem like such a great and humble guy. I have been binge watching since I discovered your channel, just yesterday. They (and you) give me so much peace and motivation. I wanna say, "thank you for sharing your trips." Definitely blessed I came across you and your channel.

This just calmed my stressed out nerves enough to let me sleep okay for the first time in a week, thank you! A great video as always. I really need to go to Canada some day!

Your videos are helping to heal from tough situations. Mind feels so calm and relaxed Thank you for making such amazing videos♥

First time seeing one of your videos, absolutely amazing! Breathtaking shots, I did not see that underwater shot coming at all, the sounds, the views, just beautiful from start to finish! Wow!!!

The big smile when the thunder crashes. That feeling of being in it. Enjoyed vicariously.

Your cinematography never fails to capture the essence of nature that you're filming, love it

Really like the nod to the painting/photo from 1920/1930’s. That’s a really nice touch👌🏼

I just found out your video a couple days ago and I haven’t stop watching your videos. Its great, you have a nice concept of taking shots. And your wild adventure experience make me wants to go on an adventure again after 10 years or more haven’t go to the nature

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen...just fell in love with the deciduous trees... keep growing..❤️❄️

What an adventure. And that underwater shot. Excellent!

Amazing video as always, really respect your hustle! Love the meal ideas as well :)

I absolutely love the rain, yes it's a ballache getting wet if you do, and if your tent leaks lol but if you're sat nice and cosy and dry under that big tarp, it's amazing!

AMAZING - Looks like a great adventure. One thing I like to do especially in the Summer is after having made camp, strap on the Life Vest and swim about 500 feet out and just stretch out and float half submerged with the Dragon Flies checking you out from above and the Fish below.

Hey Xander, what a beautiful video! This trip probably wasn’t the most enjoyable one you’ve ever had, but I think it’s my favourite video. You really have an eye, and the effort you put into composing your images totally pays off. And recreating that photo of Franklin Carmichael was brilliant! Great work!!!

Thanks for taking us with you man, plenty have said it but your cinematography is fantastic. The effort you put in to get different shots (particularly when travelling) must make you go back and forth so much. You are truly talented and hardworking. I wish you much success in the future you certainly deserve it.

Your cinematography has come along so fast! I can't wait to see where this channel goes! Glad you enjoyed your trip. Stay safe buddy ✌🏽

Personally, I really like the atmosphere of the rain, listening to the sound of the rain makes my heart calm

Showing that painting and yourself interposed in a similar setting was very cool. Hits home how generations of people have sat in that very spot and took in the same view you were looking at.

Love your channel. Out of curiosity, have u had anytime any weird encounters in forests? Such as lights in night or anything stalking you during night?

Wow!! I loved the underwater shots! Great watch sir!! Thank you thank you!!

This was the most soothing and beautiful camping I have ever seen almost feel asleep enjoying sounds. New subscription 😄...

Awesome editing and also beautiful locations. The colors, waters, sounds etc everything was perfect. I wish i could go and visit some day.

i always get back to your raining videos whenever my insomnia attacks. it always do the job of making me relax and sleepy ❤️

man you have all my respect doing this for us with all those cam angles and very nice view its so amazing to enjoy someone else doing what you dream of one day
