The amount of times and the distance you travelled to go grab your cameras after doing the walk away scenes is admirable. Great work. 👍

@@eyez587 Maybe for some shots. The angles and locations the camera are in would be too sketchy for a drone to hover in. Not to mention the variety of focal lengths in many of the shots and the depth of field is far to shallow to be a drone. Perhaps the more open shots are the drone. Otherwise, my bet is that he really did have to set up the tripod shots and go back to get afterwards. Xander is a man after Les Stroud.

Just have to say it, what Xander did at 14:10 is why I love these videos so much! 😄In-between the beautiful nature, the cooking and everything else, you give us these gems of pure silliness and fun! Never stop being you Xander, you have a pure soul

Love this dudes pure happiness and how open he is to show his audience his personality. I’ve been watching these videos recently before bed and it’s been such a great way to finish a long day. You definitely have me excited for upcoming adventures with nature. Thank you for these videos!

Every one of your videos/trips of recent seems to top the last. Not diminishing any of them because they’re all beautifully captured and unique in there own ways, but just wanted to say the videos keep getting better and better. A testament of your filmmaking (because honestly that’s what they’re becoming) so proud of you and your growth on KZread and as a person. You truly make us feel like we’re there with you Xander… along with informing us on some things we might not know. thank you for being one of my favourite creators. So glad KZread recommended me your channel a couple of years ago…. Cannot believe it’s been that long and I’m more immersed in your content then ever.

There's very few people that I will watch for an hour and you are at the top. Your appreciation for the outdoors comes through loud and clear. Beautiful video man... Thank you

Suddenly, this episode seems to be a compression of life. I'm sure it started out as a comedy genre in Diablo, but at the end, tears flowed down. the blue beautiful fish ,Mysterious Aurora ,Beaver King and Perito ,Rough Log, Lonesome Grave oh! xander!!! Your story is enriched . And I deeply sympathize with what you said" what's better than this moment right now nothing" You're telling me to be faithful to the present, right? thank you so much

The sentiment you share about the simplicity of being in nature really resonated with me.

YOU are an out-door-nature-machine!!! Trucking all your stuff and canoe across all the gnarly terrain likes “it’s alllll part of the job folks-I’m no hero, just a normal man (he’s a HERO😂).” DON’T stop content ever please because if you did I’d be force to spend time with my wife !

Great as always. Thanks for sharing, especially for those viewers, who don't have easy access to untouched nature.

Hi Jane how are you?

Xander, you and Jon absolutely kill me with the editing. You're both so funny and equally as moving with your cinematography and editing choices. Thank you for this movie and the chance to escape through your content. Cheers!

With the amount of wilderness and survival videos I watch I'm surprised at KZread for not recommending him earlier. My most recent but now favorite channel 💯💯💯

How does it happen that each night's campsite was prettier than the last?! Just gorgeous. Your filmmaking skills are epic. What a beautiful, beautiful short film.

I love the combination of beauty, peace and laughter in your videos. When it's done, I often have this sense of reverence, like I have just experienced a sacred moment, stepped into something so much bigger and powerful than myself and it has touched my soul. I look forward to the next one! Thank you, Xander!

Thank you. That is such a beautiful comment ❤️

So much respect. The skills to plan the trip, know how long it will take, know what you need, know how to make a fire, camp, fish, prepare fish, take video, process the video, do time lapses, and share your experience. Very motivational, very talented, this is just my opinion. I'm sure others share this opinion too.

These style of videos are everywhere on KZread and carving out a proper niche is quite a challenge. I think adding a comedic factor to these trips have made them truly unique and joy to watch.

That was a magical 55 minutes Xander, almost shed a tear with that final drone shot! Your skills as a videographer do not go unnoticed sir, some of those frames looked like a Bob Ross! Thank you for the effort you put into these and for sharing them with us

You consistently outdo yourself with each adventure. Every moment of this video was spectacular - continue to inspire man. You’re amazing.

I LOVE seeing my two favourite KZreadrs (Jon & Xander) do separate videos of the same routes with different perspectives and video

Also did this route this summer and only saw one or two people at the launch. The trails were better maintained than we had expected. Those log jams really boggle the mind for how many logs get stuck there. Great job at capturing the northern lights. Thanks for sharing!

Those cloud shots... Damn Alex, so happy you can make a job out of such a wonderful activity

Jon taught him how to read, write and fish as well as this canoe route. Awesome Xander, you both complete it uniquely. Fantastic video both from different perspective.

Hi how are you?

It's super interesting to me when you highlight the sorta existential aspect of these trips and these videos. There's something about being isolated in that nature that points out how vulnerable we are as individuals. Separated from civilization we aren't much of anything, the strength of humans really comes from that collective our ability to do things in numbers but along the way we lose that perspective of how much smaller we are on the grander scale. Really gets the mind moving especially with your eye for cinematography.

Nothing better than a Xander vid to end the night - enjoyed the hour long masterpiece ⭐️

Watched several times; seemed like different loop from Jon’s but both very enjoyable. I like your serious perspective as much as your humor. Fishing underwater videos getting much much better, and the auroras outstanding. Don’t occur this far south in Oregon very often. Thank you for all the effort involved, hope patches still has many miles/kilometers to go. Deadlifts mandatory for those portages!

Your adventures and filmmaking skills continue to progress. It's awesome following along with you. Thanks for your positive spirit and hard work!

Really appreciated the comment and reflection on rushing. Had that same moment with myself recently.

Cant describe how much i loved the fact that you flipped to lense to stay at the beautiful spot This just gives me that feeling of its all about the journey, not the destination. Literally fills me with joy to see you choose a beautiful spot even though its early, because thats what hiking, adventuring, survivaling and nature is about, being in the moment and no time pressure

Best outdoor adventure video content out there. Your candid honest commentary is great. Love all the interesting creative twists with different characters/versions of yourself. Videography (especially considering solo) is top notch. Thank you for your videos. You are one hardcore camper. And your videos are nothing short of fantastic.
