Please do not watch this video until I post mine next weekend. Faithfully yours, Jontario

The lip, OMG, its just..... too freakin funny.

OMG YOUR LIP! I’ve never laughed so hard and felt so bad for someone at the same time in my entire life. 😂😂 I’m glad the Benadryl kicked in.

Just had the pleasure of meeting Xander at the airport coming back from another adventure. Thanks for taking the time to chat with with me.I am looking forward to the video from the trip.

Xander + Jon = best camping duo. Their dynamic is always amazing and funny.

Having discovered both yours and Lost Lake's channels independently and being able to see both of you so often in the same videos as friends is awesome. Long time viewer of you both, thanks for continued uploads.

hands down, one of the best outdoor adventure videos I have ever watched... the mix of wildlife, natural landscape, navigation, cooking, dialogue, and fishing is amazing.

"5 minutes after 20 to 9" my man is a poet with the clock

Always love your sense of humor. Really makes the camping videos stand out from the others!

The LIP! I'm laughing out loud. You two have captured the spirit of Commaradarie while on an adventure. Great entertainment.

I absolutely love your videos, the shorter and longer ones alike, when you are solo or in a group, it is all amazing. realistically I will never go on a camping trip in Canada, even though I would love to and I am in awe of the scenery :)) with your videos, I feel like I am almost there, it is amazing :D thank you for your work, your humour, sharing what you share, you and your channel really are gems!

Mosquitoes DONT BITE with water and vanilla extract 50/50. Spray it all over and it’s helped me immensely. Great video! Can’t wait to watch the next one 🤙

PATCHES!!!!! Always a pleasure to have her back on the channel ♥♥♥

I used to go canoe camping once a year when I was younger for 8-10 days at a time. My favourite trip we ever did was to the interior of Killarny park. Second to that, I love the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park and the Temagami area. Your videos are giving me that itch to get out there again one of these days (Health concerns to get under control first). You've really opened my eyes to how many incredible places are out there that I haven't seen yet! The whole situation with your lip swelling up and having some absolutely hysterical moments with your friends are a great example of memories created you won't forget. A hilarious story you can recount in the future. One of my personal favourite experiences was on the trip through Killarny park, there was a forest fire on the mountain a short distance across the lake from us. Portaging into the lake, we met a group of firefighters resting along the portage trail, and we hike through the smokey forest carrying our gear. They said we were safe if we stuck to the trail and stayed on the opposite site of the lake. We had a great view of the fire from our site that night. I can't remember the name of the lake, (it might've been Nellie lake). I remember you could see straight to the bottom from the middle of the lake, it was incredible. We got to watch the fire on the mountain all night, with the lights flickering across the lake. In the next day or two, we climbed Silver Peak, and watched water bombers in action from there, as they replenished their tanks on one of the lakes below us and were dumping them on the fire. Appreciate your content Xander, keep doing what you love.

The long canoeing trips with Jon are for sure my favorite content on the channel.

Jontario and Xanbudernik, what could possibly be better.

YES! A new Jon video is out!!!!! Oh and Xander too!

I love all your great friendships but even though you haven't met all your viewers remember we're your friends too . Thanks for such great videos. In a crazy world they bring a helping of peace.

I just really appreciate what you do Xander. Hauling a bunch of camera equipment through the wilderness, finding great shots, filming banter, showing tips, and after all that is done, spending who knows how many hours sifting through footage and cutting it into a feature-film-length piece of entertainment. What you do is awesome.

I love your videos Xander. I also absolutely love that your sponsor is Headspace, and the very real talk on how mental health matters. The more we talk about it in society, the more likely we are to end the stigma one day. Stay cool man

O my god, your lip. I'm not making fun of you Xander but that was the funniest. Thanks for sharing that. Too funny. And I'm glad your fine - thank goodness for Benadryl! Awesome trip!

About 30 seconds in, saw the second canoe and thought “man I hope it’s Jon!” I enjoy all of your videos but the ones with Jon are extra good. I really enjoy the friendship and dynamic between you two. Thanks for all the effort you’re putting in to keep us entertained!

Your agility on the nearly last portage carrying the canoe on your shoulders amazes me. As does you filmmaking on some of the portages- camera down. Walk back. Canoe up. Walk past camera. Canoe down. Next shot. Unbelievable. Same with some of the river shots. Great work. Beautiful video of your wonderful lakes and rivers. From Down Under.

I absolutely love it when you and Jon get together y’all are so entertaining

Xander, you and Jon are the Yin and Yang of canoe tripping buddies! Keep on keeping on! Love your videos and photography!!

Would love to see "Cooking at home with Xander" - preparing your food fir the trips.

Hey Xander, I just wanted to tell you that your videos helped me to relax and fall asleep during a very difficult time in my life. They gave me a calm feeling that I just wasn't getting at the time that I deeply needed. You gave me an escape from the prison I was experiencing. Thank you - Adam

It's a wonderful thing to share a friendship with us all, It's been very cool to see you both doing this together for a while now. Thanks Xander it makes an old mans heart warm.

Just love watching your chanel plus the sense of humor makes it so much more entertaining so a big thank you for taking us along x

Few things are as relaxing a viewing as a long multi day xander trip in mixed rainy weather. I genuinely smile watching these.

Can't imagine you disliking anyone; you come across as someone who's never met a stranger. So John is a fortunate guy.

Oh I agree , they are great camping duo. So I like to meditate but I meditate on scripture, I'm putting truth in.I'm listening to the Lord and oh my gosh what an amazing joy it brings and peace. I'm discovered how much he loves me and it's changed everything❤

Yea!! A new Xander video & with Jon to boot... so happy 😊

Nice to see this show up, and now I also know there's another video coming from Jon's perspective. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

Dude…the lip! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time!!😂😂😂😂

I was just thinking to myself yesterday after watching some of your older videos, "I could really go for a new long Xander video with Jon in it" and BAM. Here it is, thank you!

What a great way to start a relaxing Saturday morning, great video as usual!

Made my morning to see an upload of a new adventure. Thank Xander!! 😄

Ahhhhhhh the lip 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m crying over here 🤣🤣🤣🤣 my stomach hurts!!!! Stop!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's always nice to see a father/son camping trip 😂

Dude your lip, that is the funniest thing I've seen in a while thank you

Saturday night, at my cabin. Got a fire roaring and my two favorite Canadians on the screen. Man I'm spoiled! Awesome stuff

Xander I’m a new fan I found you through lost lakes last week , me and my wife have binge watched all your videos in less then a week. Now we will watch Jim, max, John, and everyone else .

I have to say i love these videos. i found your 5 days on a island video and you have made my day less boring every time. You have great talents and you should definitely keep grinding!❤

Got to love a man that kisses his fish before releasing them back into the water 😊❤

Lol, Xander, at least you have an awesome sense of humor about your lip. That was a helluva bite! Glad you had Jon there with you to nurse you back to normal 😂😂

This guy is genuinely so enjoying to just sit back and watch

the tranquility in this is really soothing. thank you.

I forgot to say. I loved it when John goes. I'm trying to enjoy a nice piece of walleye. And xander's trying to get me to smell sneak pee. LMAO. I love you guys. Lol

Xander your videos are always so great, i think it's coming across in the recent videos that you're in a better place mentally and i'm glad to see :) thank you for making your videos always makes the day better.

I don’t usually share, but ur swollen lip was so funny, I sprayed my drink out bursting in laughter. 😂🤣😆😂 I am sorry you were stung, but u took the high road & made it hilarious!!!!!

You two are WAY too FUNNY! Was on this same trip about 9 years ago..total epicness! Will be headed into Wabakimi in 3 weeks for 10 days…looking forward to all she has to offer shortly! I have to say…I did laugh about your lip…So sorry Xander, hope you are feeling better!!! TY, guys!

Awesonesause! Love this. You and John are good people. Walleye is on my bucket list now.

This is a great one Xander. The flow is perfect, beautiful scenery and plenty of laughs. Good job 😊

Uhhhh John and Xander this gonna be a banger 😊

We missed you man

I hadn't even started the video yet and dropped a like. Your vids are my meditation. Thank you for uploading Xander, can't wait to watch the next one. :)

Let’s goooooo!!! Love the longer uploads Xander!! Best part is I get to watch Johns video as well

Great way to start the weekend 😊

I remember that time Jon forgot some of his food on a trip with ya, Xander, it's too bad he didn't forget his pillow on this trip, he coulda drifted off to sleep at night resting his head on that puffy lip of yours...😂

Seeing you beeing yourself, enjoying the time with another likeminded friend in the woods is just so satisfying to watch and just makes me happy. I really often cannot sleep because of my irrational anxiety and bad thoughts , but your videos somehow make me chill and sleep good. Thank you and sending love from germany. You got to come here sometimes✌️🫶🏻

“Tonight will be the night that I will fall for yewww” not me finishing the rest of the song. 😂 You guys are the best combo ever.

Oh I’m so excited for this one

Love seeing your glow up over the years! Sobriety looks amazing on you, and you can really see how much healthier and happier you look!! Get them gains king

Love this duo vid. At least, Jon didn't forget his food this time! 😅

How did Xander know that we'd fall asleep watching his videos? 😂 It's just so relaxing it makes me fall asleep. 😴😴

loved the video you two work well together.

As an Englishman, I rate your use of the word Wanker 10/10, based on pronunciation and context. I very much look forward to your use of the word Twat.

Oh my god the swollen lip 😂😂😂 I'm dying. That was fantastic. I haven't finished watching yet but I hope your lip is doing better there Xander Bander

The bromance is real! Loved both of your trip reports and love the different perspectives. Keep on keeping on!✊

Psalm 1:2-3: If we meditate on God’s Word day and night, we will be "like a tree firmly planted by streams of water.

You need a dog

Another amazing VID!! Go Go Xander B!! I'm forever a fan! 😍

Nothing better on the tube than a parent / child video 😝with you two by yourselves Y’all’s stuff is the best!

Omg I can’t with that lip 🤣🤣🤣 had me rollin guys! Glad we did a lot of fishing, always more fishing!

Superb film sir. No idea how you reach such quality and creativity in your filming while covering such tough terrain. I'm sure there are many like me who appreciate the escape from our desks. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Been watching for a couple years and its awesome to see your channel now at almost at 1M subs! Awesome video!

Incredible trip! Those cliffs on the river were amazing! Wabakimi is gorgeous

What a great video, took your advice and picked up a used Prospector off MarketPlace. This canoe handles so much better than my other one. Had it out in the wind yesterday and handled like a dream. Thank you, Xander, for all you do!

Great video. Love the scenery. You and Jon make a great team. Waiting for your next adventure.

OMG!!!!..Those Walleye look so good!!! Sooooooo jealous!!!!!!! Great video, thanks!!

Love how he acknowledged we fall asleep 😭, these videos are the only thing that helps me sleep at night

Another great video! Love the trips with you and Jon. Such a great dynamic between the two of you!

"We got a portage here....around this moving water, which could be runnable but, the portage at 150 meters sounds pretty easy right now so we're going to do that." - Xander Budnick Your lip and the way you sounded there reminded me of this. "He's got about 195 yards left, and he's gonna - looks like he's got about an eight iron. This crowd has gone deadly silent. Cinderella story. Out of nowhere. A former greenskeeper now about to become the Master's champion. It looks like a miraculous - it's in the hole! It's in the hole!" - Bill Murray, Caddyshack Sounded just like him! 🤣

Great video as usual! Last time I was in a canoe and fishing, was with my dad when I was a kid. Never stopped camping though, and now that my kids are mostly grown, I've started solo camping. Nothing too adventurous, but I love being out in nature and unplugging.

Thank you Xander, that was beautiful!

Another great video, Xander! Really enjoy the camaraderie and of course the pristine Canadian outdoors. The incident with your lip was a stark reminder that having the right items in your first aid kit is essential. Staying calm and having some humour in a medical situation like you did is almost as important. You teach us by example, thanks Xander!

Ive been watching your content for years now, and I can see a huge improvement in the videos. This video especially, felt like I was watching a national geographic movie. Hard work is really paying off man, keep it up... Love from Ontario (Ottawa)

Love the trip boys, thanks for taking us along.

Xander, dude....I am so glad to see your lip swelling went down! I have to be honest I laughed so hard, but also felt bad for you man. That had to suck! Glad it wasn't anything too serious! I love the dynamic between you and Jon in these videos. Thank you both so much for all the hard work! On a side note, I hope to be in your neck of the woods next year, a buddy of mine just got back from a trip up there this week. Take care, and keep on keeping on!

WOW...another amazing adventure of two.of my favorites video majes out there..hugs from 7000km away...😘

Okay the lip though, I'm laughing and terrified at the same time

I feel like every video Xander gets more unhinged! I love it

Your videos are always entertaining and much anticipated.
