  • My brother ‪@XanderBudnick‬ and I introduce our dad, who's in his 60s, to his first winter camping experience. We embarked on a 4-day hot tent backcountry trip in the Sudbury area of Ontario, Canada. Fortunately, the weather gods smiled upon us, providing ideal snow and ice conditions for pulling our sleds. This made the journey exceptionally beautiful and enjoyable, allowing us to indulge in some delightful side hikes.
    Despite the inherent challenges of winter camping, our dad had an absolute blast and seems eager to embark on another adventure soon. Woohoo!

    I so relate to your father’s perspective! I’m 67 and enjoy the comforts of our cabin but miss the beauty of those other times. Fire warms you, a good meal sustains you, simple things that make you feel alive! Enjoy this video so much Maxim! Thank you!

    I think out of all your videos, this was the one I enjoyed the most. It made my heart melt during story time in the tent with your father. You boys are great sons, and your father is so appreciative of you.

    Your dad will remember trips like this when he's a very old man and can no longer join you. I recently lost my dad, treasure these times with him.
    Another great video Max. Thanks for taking us along in your neck of the woods.

      @maximbudnick  Před 4 měsíci

      Awesome! When I look at my dad I feel he's got lots of time left to enjoy the outdoors - as long as he takes care of his health just as we all should.
      Almost impossible to regret a camping trip, yet so often we wish we had spent more time outdoors when we could. Hope you get out there very soon, and let me know when you do! Cheers!

I trust and know that the 2 of you know what you’re doing but I’m sure happy that you got your dad out there. I know what he means by being content with his life and it makes me happy to know he can do this kind of thing with you guys!! Amazing scenery that’s why I watch both of your channels I enjoy each and every one of them!! Thanks so much for sharing!! My favorite is wildlife and I truly love all the birds you film!! God bless and keep safe!! ❤

  • @vempriex
    @vempriex Před 7 měsíci +1

    Beautiful drone shots and starry nights! That hot stove has seen better days but still functional. @28:58 reminds me of Benny Hill (time-lapse). That is great of spending time with your dad and Xander especially the modern times with Social Media alot of peeps are missing out on the outdoors and the serene forest.

    • @maximbudnick
      @maximbudnick  Před 4 měsíci

      Hey there! Sorry for taking so long to reply... The hot stove still has lots of life in her! They tend to get warped and rusted almost immediately (not sure you can prevent it with these kinds of portable stoves).
      I couldn't agree more regarding it being an amazing way to spend time with loved ones. So nice to be somewhere without screens!
      Cheers and thanks for watching!

    Max, you do a really good job. Your videos have such a chill vibe, between your relaxed personality, beautiful ambient music, or no music and just the sounds of what you’re doing. Your love for nature and wildlife really comes through. And I also appreciate when you film wildlife. You let the camera hold on your subjects, which allows us to really take it in. As a bonus, you tell us what we are looking at! SUBSCRIBED!!! Keep up the good work!

    Well done and nicely filmed! Good on your Dad for stepping out of his comfort zone and you both for letting him in to yours. I can definitely relate being a few years older than your Dad. My exercise now is shovelling snow and splitting wood for the fireplace where I can enjoy these outdoor videos sitting on my keister. My days of winter camping are long behind me having done that in my twenties in northern saskatchewan while working for mineral exploration companies. Keep up the great work, thanks for sharing and be safe😊.

    • @maximbudnick
      @maximbudnick  Před 7 měsíci

    @trout_bum_john Před 7 měsíci +1

    I have to say that the video was great as usual, (you and your brother Xander, make great videos, I follow you both as well as some of the people you do collaborations with. Food for my soul. Just awesome goodness while I'm stuck inside for the season) but my favorite part was the end. The drone footage of you guys driving out in Xanders yota through all of the snow was pure nostalgia for me. You see, I'm a fly fishing guide across the lake in the upper peninsula of Michigan and I used to do a lot of winter activities but, these days business is boomin so to prepare for trout season I tie flies for my business all winter and I always have your videos on for entertainment and to keep up morale.
    So, as I sit here at 6am tying flies while its 2°F outside, Thanks for the mental recharge 🤟😎🤙
    Also, I lost my dad 15 years ago to cancer. He would have been 71 this year. We always were hunting or fishing or just outside all the time. It was good to see your dad out an enjoying his time with you two. Reminded me of my past.

    • @maximbudnick
      @maximbudnick  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Hey John thanks for your kind message. Glad you like those last shots at the end. His car is a lot of fun and I'm glad it comes across in the images :D
      The drone shots were taken by Xander and he was kind enough to share and let me use them in my video.
      Tying flies cozy at home doesn't sound like a bad situation! Bonus points if you have a fireplace to do it in front of...
      Cheers and thanks for sharing about your dad. Good reminder to enjoy the time together while I can!
      Cheers!

    What an amazing trip! Great to see you and Xander taking your father out for some woods medicine. Your dad's badass! He's cuttin wood, throwing logs on his shoulder and dragging em into camp! That's awesome!
    Maxim, I wanted to ask you guys... how do you stay so fit to be able to do these winter trips where you're towing big trains into the bush during the winter and felling dead trees, buckin em up and splitting them. And then get up the next morning and do it all over again like you guys did with the Baird boys last winter. We don't really have these massive open parcels of vastness here in New England like you guys do until one gets up to far northern Maine which is almost to you😃. You wouldn't be able to go into the "backcountry" of New Hampshire or Vermont and get the kind vastness like you guys have there. There's way too many visitors and there's hardly any firewood like what's up where you guys are. I would venture to say there's some secret squirrel woody areas here in Mass that one could potentially pull a trip like this off but I'm not sharing😏.
    Sorry... this was wordy. Take care, Happy New Year and Thanks for taking us along.
    NQU

    • @maximbudnick
      @maximbudnick  Před 7 měsíci

      Hey NQU! How have you been? The major factor to me staying fit is that I genuinely enjoy physical activity - exercising doesn't feel like a chore so I never go more than a day or two without being active. The type of activity doesn't even matter that much - I just go for the best option available to me.
      I understand the struggle of not having wilderness available close by. I lived in nyc for many years and sometimes felt that the relative proximity of Harriman SP was all that kept me sane... There is some phenomenal hiking in NH though... I'll probably go back in the near future...

    This warms the heart! And not just cause cutting and hauling firewood by hand is the ultimate workout... It's a pitfall to get too comfy in this world, a trap in which we can find ourselves just going to work, buying things, driving things, eating things, and repeating things.

    Your dad is a gem. How awesome was it to listen to him read the Meditations? I'm super impressed with his physical prowess and his joie de vivre (look at this Yank dropping some Francais on ya!). I lost my dad about 18 months ago. This video made me miss him, but also made me so happy to see you guys share your passion with him.

      Hey Scott. Sorry to hear about your dads recent passing. I see how tough it is for my father to see my grandfather getting older, and it's made me appreciate how important it spend quality time together - specially while my father is still young and capable of joining us in physically strenuous activities.
      Quite a few people have left a similar comment on this video regarding recently losing their loved ones... My father has a warmth and earnestness about him that seems to strike a chord with people who place high value on spending time with family.
      Thanks for the reminder to not take the time I have with him for granted - it never hurts to be reminded.
      All the best and thanks for watching
