Xander, I truly enjoy your videos. You have a way of making someone feel as if they are there with you. You have a great eye for scenery and catch that with the camera. Your humor is spot on, light, and fresh. Your choice of food makes me want to try it at home OR out in nature. Most of all, you come off as a genuine guy, without having an air about you. Thank you. 🙏🏻 ✌🏻

I don't like when you go out with other ppl like this...they're far less charming than you. Ok now I have one of those "Can we just appreciate...." comments. Can we just appreciate how many different scenes and frames Xander shows? Any given shot he sets up may only get used for a second in the edit, if at all. But it makes for an incredibly engaging pace. I don't know anyone who works harder on trips to film and it has always come through in the videos.

Definitely not ideal conditions for a trip like this and yet I'm sitting here at my PC in my warm office jealous AF of the time your both having. Happy to see you and Lost Lakes collabing again.

29:17 - Those night time-lapse shots are beautiful 😍 29:44 - Those night time howls so cool

You have to realize that you both work so well together in your combined trips and despite some awful unending rainy weather, you both manage to make it fun to watch. That spontaneous humor is great! We hope that you'll continue from time to time to plan more of these trips together.

Man, I love how you take your time, record the peace and quiet and just stay close to the ground, it’s so refreshing from the rest of survival/outdoor youtubers

Two adventures in 1 with my favourite outdoorsmen!!! Great vid! Cold lakes, hot food, comfy hammock. Doesn’t get better than that! Live life simple.

I swear I’ve gained 20lbs from watching your videos. Keep em coming!!😆

Even an un-eventful trip with Xander is spectacular to watch.

I hope you continue to do trips with Jon. I love the solo trips most but the 2 of you together is always entertaining. Plus getting to watch 2 different versions of the same trip is great

Around 12:10 when you were just lying there listening to the rain on your tarp I closed my eyes and was immediately transported back to times I've been camping before and it brought back some serious nostalgia and emotions

Can you please make a cook book. Only bad part about your videos is how hungry I get from watching you cook food. Lol.

Already watched John’s and I’m super excited for this one too. Two of my absolute favorite KZreadrs going.

On a snowy night, when you step on the ground, when you see snow fall from the sky, when you see ice rain endlessly, your lyrical sensibility. :)

Xander! Just wanted to say that I've managed to catch up with all your recent videos and the longer ones while I sit here waiting for my wife to be induced into labour! Thank you so much for everything you have done and keep doing, your videos are literally the BEST way to escape from a dull, dark hospital room here in the UK while we wait! Iv'e been a subscriber for probably over a year now and love every single one of your videos! Keep up the amazing work

Been subscribed to both of you guys for a while. Watched both your videos. It's always nice to see different angles of the same trip. John is sooo serious with all his dehidrated meals, and there you are with your steaks and bacon and eggs and croissant! I love it! Keep doing what you do Xander, always a pleasure to watch.

I love your take on your trip with Jon, Xander. He brought me to your channel after the first trip you guys did together and I was hooked! Keep up the awesome work and I hope to see the two of you on more trips together!

The thing I love about your videos man is that you take time to appreciate things that most people would just not take a second look at. Like when you cook, you cook to enjoy not just to eat for the sake of eating and you really appreciate and take in the scenery and atmosphere. Keep it up love your work!

"if everyday was like this you'd kinda get bored of it. But when you have days like yesterday, this feels like a blessing" realest shit ever

Such a cool video!.. the cold weather, the clouds, rain, snow, food and the sounds of the wolves howling...PERFECTION👌🏻 Beautiful video from beginning to end.

Just camped out for the first time by myself on Sunday, one day I hope I can do this kind of stuff.

i thought John wasn't talkative at all until i saw the behind the scenes at the end 😂😂😂 love this guy

Every time I see you upload, I know the day just got a bit better. Thanks for making these videos, and getting out there all the time, inspiring others to do the same. You’re the best man, keep it up!!!!!

The best Bromance on KZread!!! Felix and Oscar are reborn 😆 Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

Beautiful vid, as always. I love seeing you enjoy yourself out camping in the peaceful outdoors. Even better this time with your good buddy John. Glad you had a really nice time.

As always a fantastic video. I love your grit and mental tenacity when dealing with less than ideal conditions, it's something I try to take to heart whenever I go out and explore. Perfect weather and conditions can be great, but bad weather just adds a bit of adventure and makes the trip more memorable when you keep a positive outlook.

the bears and wolves in the distance are probably going crazy over the smell of the food

I love your take on your trip with Jon, Xander.

I like seeing you both when you guys collab, and seeing your friendship growing since 12 days trip when u guys are still strangers

Enjoyed "tagging along" for your first trip of the season. Looking forward to coming along on your future trips this season.

Love the two of you together 🤣 so much fun! Buddies for Life! Xander your meals are always so creative!

A bromance made in heaven! Keep up the good work guys!

All that camp food looks delicious!!! 😊❤

LOVE this trip! You guys make great videos together will be watching this again and again for sure!

See what happens when you two get together.!! I almost choked, I was laughing so hard when the branch swung back obscuring the shot. Great scenery, lovely water channel shot: I wanted to be there. Yummy food. Thanks, guys.!! Loved it.

Dude , I just LOVE your videos ! You have such an appreciation for life , outdoors, wildlife, much like myself. I was an addict for many years but have been clean and sober for around 12 years now and I have ALWAYS loved camping hiking and exploring so your videos are just amazing. Your friendship with John is truly awesome as well. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us and keep up the fantastic quality content ! Love ya bro

Hubby and I just rewatched this video and enjoyed it the second time around. It was nice hearing the wolves howl, but it leaves us hoping that when you visit Yukon this summer, you have the pleasure of hearing a pack of the northern wolves sing. When the pack howls it's musical and so beautiful. We used to fall asleep every night in winter, with the bedroom window cracked so we could fall asleep to their songs. They sound very different than the eastern wolf.

Love the excellent content and the different perspectives between you and lost lakes on the trip.

I hope you two do more trips together. Great repartee. You guys crack me up amongst all the great scenery.

I just love your videos especially the longer ones because I get to see all the beauty of the outdoors, also your cooking is so amazing. Everything tastes better cooked outside. You are so lucky to go on all those camping trips. The weather was awesome and I just love the cold. Thank you for bringing us on your trips with you even though we aren't really there, I still imagine being there. Thank you for sharing. God bless.

"Smoke in my eyes". " He gets very emotional around me". I laughed sooo much guys. Oh my gosh! The howling! Great times

I’ve come across camping vids before but this guy has genuinely given me the desire to do this

Nice haul by's keeper going 👍 Hard to beat the first paddle of the year. I did a river here in Newfoundland last week. The spring smells of the earth were nourishing for the soul.

Just when you think he can’t get more pure…. He’s reading the Song of Achilles. What a genuine treat you are Xander.

95% eating + 5% wild animals = amazing as always. Love u ))

I love how Xander has a clearer frame and longer shot for the tea than for anything else😂

Zander, even the food that didn’t come out so well looks great!🤣. I love how creative you get when you cook, and love it even more when your eating it! Love your camping videos! Keep on cranking them out👍

hey xander, love the videos! hypes me up so much during all the times i cant get out. thanks for the content :) by the way, that is probably the most over the top canoe trip meal I have ever seen! Im definitely stealing the aluminum foil idea, ive never tried it on a trip!

Typical early ice-out weather, but you both crushed it. And as usual, fantastic editing. I'm also gad you continue to expose Jon to food and recipes beyond his usual "college student" diet of Doritos and hot dogs..lol. You and Jon's personalities work very together, looking forward to many more in the future.

It’s awesome when you and John are on an adventure together. You are wonderful XB.

Thanks a lot, Xander, you're truly a great treat to witness - your attitude to life, to friendships is sooooo sweet I don't have enough of watching your films. Thanks for sharing

Love the videos with Jon!!!

I really love your videos Xander. A highlight of my week!

I really enjoyed the video Jon put out yesterday. It’s cool being able to watch this trip from different perspectives! Thanks buddy

Watching your videos have ignited my yearning for a lifelong friend. I love everything about your videos. I appreciate the effort you put in. I really wish i could be there to help with you in breaking the logs or cooking the food. I could do all the chores, just need a warm friendship.. Thank you for being our friend Xander.

I feel the same way, I'd give my right hand for a few days out there just tagging along. The camping and all that comes with it is incredibly relaxing. I just prefer company being alone at night out there scares me. I'd like to think I'm an adult at this stage of my life; yet here I am still expecting the boogey man to pop out at any given moment 🤣😂😭

Great to see you two on a trip, every Xander sub should go and follow Lost Lakes as well, we got to get John more subs..... I am a long time viewer of both of you.Love your trips...

18 mins in this feels more like a cooking show than a camping one 😂 making me hungry

Actually, it sounded like a song. Beautiful music of the wild. Awesome!

스테이크를 정말 맛있게 요리해서 먹네요. 와 배고파 빗소리 들으면 빵도 맛나게 먹고 뭐하나 부족한게 없습니다.

What a fantastic video!! I love the bond y’all have; I very definitely laughed out loud several times. 😁 Idk how you can lay there and hear all those wolves and be that calm, though. The only time I’ve heard a pack of wolves near me, it made my blood run cold, and I was on my front lawn. I got back inside my house very quickly. 😂 Even listening to them here made my heart beat a little faster - weren’t you scared at all?

I love your videos bro.

Crappy weather while camping can kinda suck, but I swear it makes those trips even more memorable! The weather this spring has been so weird even way down here in Kentucky. All of the food looked excellent as usual and I always love love love the cinematography! Keep up the quality work...you are my fix in between camping trips with the family!

The weather never been ugly.. its beautiful! I live in desert and appreciate any weather that comes my way
