I’ve watched many of your videos and finally felt the need to comment. After a lifetime of work, family, and other commitments, I have finally reengaged in canoeing and photography from my teenage years ( now pushing 60). The technology is completely different- no rolling my own 35mm canisters, developing film in a basement darkroom and learning dodging and burning techniques. Your photography and videography is excellent and inspiring. You are what I would call an “old soul”. Keep at it and I hope to cross paddles with you some day. Cheers.

@@maximbudnick probably the 1-2 day trip would love for you join if you’d be able to! Haha I’m joking but it would be cool to learn camera shooting and camping skills from you!
Wow, Max… I found you from your brother. It boggles my mind that you don’t have a better following. Xander surely has the personality for a big subscriber base but your filming and editing is some of the best I’ve seen. You capture nature in a different way than Xander and other creators. Keep doing what you are doing because your films are beautiful. Budnick brothers for life baby!!!

Hello, Cole! Yeah it's easy to see why Xander does so well - he really has that larger than life personality thing going for him. I'll be happy if my growth continues slow and steady... Thanks for watching and for the encouraging comment - it is very much appreciated. Cheers!
Very nice ☺👍🙏
