This channel is my go to when I need to unwind from the insanity of the world. Wholesome CZcams at its best.
Same here man, I rewatch them every night. Great escape from the hustle and bustle
Totally agree. It really is relaxing to follow along his adventures in the wild. And we learn about important tricks too
And his brothers channel, Maxim
Totally same here, wish I had the balls to give this stuff a go myself 😂
You at Pc? Ok
Brother, please. And I mean please. Do not stop making content. You are the escape I need so badly from the normalcy of the life I currently live. I only get to hike a few miles a week and that means the world to me. Watching you is almost just as good ;) I’ve dealt with addiction and all the bad stuff as well. Nature and working hard really is a cure. I’m very proud of you. Keep going!!
🫵🏽you the man, brother.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Come to Jesus, Receive Him as your Lord and Saviour by faith and He will give you joy, peace, happiness anything more than the world can possibly offer.
Jesus loves you❤
@cameroncombs6986 I hope u can overcome with ur addiction bro..... stay strong💪
Iam an addict too m also on the road of recovery✨
Man, I never knew you could start a fire with a battery and some chewing gum wrapper! It's like watching The History Channel, but more entertaining. Happy New Year Xander 🎉
I'm wondering at what point we should start calling him "MacGyver"?
@tensixty6 lol, right? He's awesome
So fun fact, I think this man made plasma in the woods! When you complete a circuit it creates an electromagnetic field, which likes to travel through conductors but also radiates around them. When he completed the circuit with the gum, he created a magnetic field. The fire then got caught in that field and changed shape and color. I'm sure part of that was the paper's lining, but the shape and burst of color as it seemed to hang there for a split second looked like plasma.
call that a prison lighter
Lol what Nerotic said... thats "prison match" style for sure. Hilariously enough it's also an extremely useful survival tool to know about for those emergency times, or I suppose to show off to friends.
Being an old guy, I keep being impressed all to hell just with the physical strength, stamina and endurance involved. Then there's the knowledge and skill both of bushcraft and of photography, and the upbeat, can-do attitude. Ten thumbs up!
I spent 6 weeks in the woods with only one item, my RV. LOL. TY Xander for another great bit of entertainment.
I bet there was food and a bed plus a tv in the rv tho
Good one. 😊😊😊😊😊
I've always used full, large pieces of wood I scavenged and fed them into the fire as they burn down. Never as a life saving device but basically because the u re large and as a woman I'm not as strong to saw and saw and saw. I've wondered why You Tube guys always cut it up like their home woodstove requires. Probably cuz it's so easy for them.
Anyway, when I see your videos post I'm right on it. Be well. Hey, have a great, wholesome New Year, young man.

And two propane tanks, a bathroom, a charged 12 volt to kick that furnace on .....sounds devine!
@@dashheydon1149 "Som,eone" doeasn't understand the concept of humour ... 🙄🙄
Xander, my wife and I love watching your videos. I especially love your sense of humor and your humility. Too many people want to claim to be experts and know-it-alls and your not one of them. Even though I am ex-military and have been in the outdoors most of my life...I am still learning and have learned some things from you. Some valuable things. Thanks so much for what you do and keep on doing it. Being out in nature surely is therapeutical and is definitely a reminder of where we all come from. Cheers!
It is crazy the amount of information this man offers. Super grateful to have come across this channel. Thanks Xander!
Indeed!
DUDE a BATTERY AND A STICK OF GUM! You have serious balls going out in the bush with just these three items! RESPECT! I need major lessons from you on starting fires with raw and wet standing dead wood, you are a freaking Jedi master at this. WHAT A THUMBNAIL AS WELL! Well done!
Birch Bark is a cheat code
The first time I saw Xander do this was how I found the channel. Awesome to see him testing himself again with the strategy, really drives home that these kinds of fires could save your life in a survival situation.
There are SO MANY horrible "camping in the woods" videos that cheat their work, you obviously keep it real and I'm totally here for more.
I love crawling into bed, shutting off the crazy world, family safely asleep, and falling completely impressed into this! Amazing! Thank you!
Since 2022 I’m using your channel as a mind therapy to get out of negative thoughts and it really helped me a lot.😊
You're the man! Last year I taught a survival class and I told everyone that I can make fire by using a stick of gum and my GPS. You can never have too many tricks up your sleeve.
Amazing to watch you going out there with continually fewer items each time. And in cold wet surroundings. If you would ever get into a survival situation I would bet that you would do pretty well. Love your channel. You are an inspiration. 👍👍👍
hi xander. I am 26 hailing from the usa, i get a lot of inspiration from your videos. I have connected with nature to help combat feelings of depression/ substance abuse- something i think you have mentioned dealing with to an extent yourself. Anyway i always learn a lot from you whether it be your camera work, knowledge, or just the poop tips and wanted to say thank you for what you do. You inspire me to follow a similar path, and its something i definitely intend to pursue, albeit probably from the comfort of a tent and sleeping bag lol.
Right on, man! Get out there!
Keep it up man, You got this!
love that moment, when all comes down to the little spark of the chewinggum paper. breathtaking. doing it at home is one thing. beiing successfull with it out there is just brilliant! thanx for that moment😊
I have OCD and anxiety, and your channel always helps me to calm down and de-stress when I need to. Thanks for everything !
You’re not alone with your anxiety challenges Mr. NJ, live in the now and you’ll be OK. Best wishes to you (us both).
The future makes you anxious, the past makes you depressed. Live in the now.
It’s inspiring how you keep introducing solutions while decreasing number of tools under such conditions! Amazing!
Happy new year Xander thanks for always pulling us away from the busy bustling world the vibe and humor is always fire!
Thank you Xander! Your videos get me thru my bad pain days ❤ I appreciate all that you do for us
I love that turning more into a survival channel again. I do love those canoe trips too. I actually love all your content I guess 😂
That fire starter was so sick! Gives me one of those of course moments
Really been enjoying watching you push and test yourself a little further every video! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
Less is more. Another strong tutorial on what you really need in a pinch. Again you continue to solve problems by continuing to use your best tool, your brain. Base log burned up last time, use a wet log this time for the base log. Well done!
i mostly appreciate how you mix it up and teach actual survival tips while having fun in the woods! im currently watchin this in a tent in the woods hoping for some snow lol 👍🤙🤘✊️🎉
I love these videos so much. Especially on a Saturday evening. I have been watching these nearly every night. With love from the UK!
Terrific upload as always Xander. I want to get into this type of camping one day, albeit not as minimalist but this is just so cool. Thanks for your uploads man
Thank you Xander for your great videos and the humor that goes with them.
It's always a pleasure to watch you.
Kind regards from the Swiss Alps.
I know you see it a lot, but thank you so much for being an escape from the real life stress we all go through on a daily basis.
You’re an artist at what you do, and I love to live vicariously through you as I get ready to go Into the office at 7am tomorrow.
Keep doing what you do!!
This man pushes himself to be better and do better and I’m glad I’m here along for the journey you help a lot of escape the harsh realities of the world 🌎
Good afternoon Xander. Thanks as always for your upload(s). I thoroughly enjoy watching every clip you produce... and looking forward to your winter ones again - that's if winter / snow ever arrives this year! Take good care eh.
Thanks Xander, we appreciate your efforts!
Xander! A thermostat controls temperature, a thermometer shows you the current temperature.
That said I bet you would have liked to turn up the temperature on this trip 👍🏻
Thanks mate :D
xander what kind of boots are those? i’m a mail carrier and wondering if those are good boots to walk comfortably in??
or are those overboots??
baffin impacts@@CallMeJAPE
Great video Xander. Only one opinion on emergency shelter without sleeping bag and/or shelter. Include a wool blanket as minimum item when ending out in the wilderness without being prepared. It improves "comfort" substansially and increases chance of survival by far. In the old days, a wool blanket was a "must have"!
Love you Xander! Never stop being you!
I love these videos because it keeps me going and helps me mentally when I’m down.
Im so impressed with the way you started a fire the real life McGyver way. Awesome!
After a long day watching these videos is a way for me to recharge my battery. Thank you for posting these, they also help me prepare for changing my lifestyle to more of a survivalist lifestyle.
I can't believe I've been paying my dentist silly money when all I need is snow bag water, charcoal and branches! Thanks for the life hack Xander! 🙌🏼🏕
Thanks for these videos Xander. I use them to help with some challenging moments in my life. All the best.
Xander... you crack me up, kid!
Thanks for doing your thing. I wish I could still do it, but I am old now. Winter camping was such fun. But I always had matches, wax/cotton balls, tarp, sleeping bag and spare dry clothing. 👍😎❤
Xander ever since I found your channel I have been watching your videos to get away from the stress of the world. I can say they help me a lot and I really want to thank you for sharing this with the world. 😇😇
Maybe you'll ginf my channel de-stressing, too! Canoeing fishin fryin!😂😂😂😂
The last video you did like this is what got me watching all your content! Love seeing you do it again.
There's always a point in your videos where I just find myself laughing. You got a great sense of humor, buddy. Thanks for teaching me about the battery/foil trick. Never knew that!
Definitely trying that fire starting method the next time i go camping! Great video as always Xander
That method of starting a fire was incrediiible! Love it!
Happy new 🎉year! Def enjoy your videos as a father to 5 kids I can’t get time to get out and time to unwind. I truly enjoy your videos! Closet thing I get to enjoying the outdoors these days. Have an awesome year Xander !
Thank you for another great video, Gustavo! Fantastic job as always!
Absolutely insane, so enjoyable to watch. We don’t know what you’re undergoing in that night! Respect
Watching you from faraway in tropical Singapore, I always find it super intriguing and beneficial to my knowledge of the basics of how to survive in extreme cold wild country. I'm inspired.😊
Winter Night + inside comfy blanket + your videos= my every year routine❤
Seeing your videos pop up makes me smile. Thx for the content 😊
This was another great one Xander! Glad you were warm enough. Nothing like a fire when you need one.
Great vidoes, I appreciate the enthiusiasm. I don't think people truly appreciate the work involved to comfortably survive a night like this without shelter. Like the old saying goes, firewood warms you twice, once when you collect it and after when you burn it.
Awesome!! Thanks Xander! Can’t wait to watch!
So crazy! Glad you made it through ok!
Really awesome man. You have guts! I did this 40 years ago (twice) but really fun to see someone young do it.
Happy New Year Xander! love you!
So wholesome. I hope that never changes here it makes my day. :)
stepping in water or mud is a must in the intro
You are on fire lately, pumping out videos with cool concepts. Winter survivals are my favourite, hope we see some deep snow soon :)
Those pocket saws are really, really great bits of kit! Should be part of any bug out/emergency kind of bag
back to back saturdays , thanks fam!
My weekend is complete when Xander drops a video
wow Xander, that was a new way of starting a fire I didn't know about before. I am now off to experiment with that! (in my garden! haha!) Thanks
This is, BY FAR, my favorite channel. Wel done and regards from Jerusalem
I really like your editing. Maybe just me, but specifically I liked seeing the processing of dead standing trees. Very enjoyable.
Well done, I appreciated the time lapse!
One of my favorite vicarious outdoor channels on the Internet.
So good to see these obscure tips being spread around! Just so you/everyone is aware; charcoal is a decent abrasive and as such will clean your teeth in a pinch decently well, but over time could erode the enamel; so make sure that you don't just replace all your toothpaste with charcoal to maintain those pearly-whites!
Looking well ripped Xander! Looks like you have a good routine going. Hope you're taking care of the mental side just as diligently!
Please do more hunting videos/ catch and cook. Super interesting to watch!!
i love your rain videos the most, camping in rain , miss them a lot btw . this is a great video but love where you enjoy great food and be in rain and kayak and be in a comfortable place 😄
Glad I found this channel. Great content and I'm always learning something new!
First time watcher, excellent content. Definitely liked, followed and subscribed.
It's probably hard to notch trees with that saw but it would definitely help with the pinching. Otherwise make a wedge to pound in from behind the cut to keep the kerf from closing. Another great video.
I really enjoy all of your videos man super informative & inspiring
Enjoyed again Xander, HAPPY New Year
You just keep getting better and better!
Hey xander love the vids! You’re the greatest! Glad to see another upload
That's amazing the way you made fire with a battery and a gum wrapper I have never seen that before ever 😮 you have the best Bushcraft skills and I love to watch you process wood and make the best and biggest fire's keep up the good work ❤
You really dug in for this one! So cool!
Mullet looking great!
Very much given idea if needed if u find yourself in a situation of being lost. Thumbs up to you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This channel is gold. Thank you for creating amazing and informative contents. Stay safe and healthy man. Looking forward for more contents :)
That fire starting trick was amazing!
I remember this version from a few years aggo, that onse was so awesome to see, the fire all around! Eager to start this one!
Never seem to amaze me what you can do! From the fire starter to the toothpaste and brush 😂😂 awesome video
Much love brotha 🫶🏼🤘🏼 have a great day
I’m coming back later tonight to watch this since it’s a vibe
Love this series of minimal gear 😎
Epic work, Xander!
Hi Xander. Well sir, you never cease to amaze. That battery tip is something else. One a side note. Some of the southeastern tribes used a similar way to do the fire, but they took four logs and laid them out like a plus sign, and moved them in as needed., but you having two fires and sleeping in between I've never seen before. Brilliant. Liking the new hand saw. I'll leave you with this. A walk in the woods, among snow laden branches, Alone, Silence rumbles through brush and birch in Winters Sun. Still beauty of the forest, Quiet Majesty, Bull Moos, Bear, need no translation. M. C.. Til next time.
Those boots look awesome!
thank you Mr. Budnick for another fire video, please never stop ❤
Nice job Xander with the elm and ash trees.
Best time is watching a new viedo from Xander!!!
That new saw is working out well for you 😊.
Awwwe!!! I've not seen the 'battery-chewing-gum-wrapper' fire starter before, only heard about it. That was amazing!! Really appreciate your hard work bringing this to us. Chicken wings in the box, YUM. Happy New Year Xander! ❤. T
it's amazing that to record this video you put yourself through a lot of work, including getting up multiple times during the night. I rate this highly. By the way, while cutting with the chain, put a wedge so that the tree cannot press the chain.
2 Xander videos in 1 week, you’re spoiling us 😊
