You are the most amazing man Hazey. You'll never know how many people you've seen through this clusterfeckery the world's been the past few years. I'm one of them and I cannot express how much gratitude I have to you for that. Keep walking, mate. You're carrying us all in your pack.

I’m a mental health nurse and so I’m trained to help people through tough times. Despite my training I still often find it hard, so you should be really proud at the great work you do and the courage you have to be vulnerable and reach out to others. Keep it up Hazey and hope to see you somewhere beautiful in nature one day.

I'm now watching this at 03.51 in morning and I've been watching all night im struggling with life . Watched over and over ur Channel I love it and I love what u do.

Probably the best video you have ever done, honestly, I don't think you know how much h you help people. My daughter is struggling at the moment, turns out a lot more than I knew about and it breaks my heart. Watching this has given me the idea to take her on a wild camp with me and my dog. It's far far from what she's used to but I reckon she'll get some good stuff from it so thanks for giving me the idea mate. When you find out that a loved one is having these terrible thoughts of ending it all, you feel panic and dread and fear all at once, I mean how can i a 57 year old fart help a gorgeous 30 year old woman, but I think I can by taking her to the hills and living with nature for a couple days. Anyway pal, you truly are an inspiration to so many people, long may it continue my friend

Mate, I was literally talking about SADs today with one of my sons. I used to struggle with it every year and get so depressed about it. After I left the army it was a struggle and looking back now I was a mess, especially after the breakup of my relationship with my sons mother. Being outdoors and giving myself a test and pushing myself in all weathers and circumstances helped me. Adversity made me healthier mentally and put me in a better place. That was 17 years ago and although I have small troughs of depression, I feel a lot happier and content. Depression is not the end of the world.

Thank you for having the courage to be vulnerable and sharing the downs as well as your ups. If I was given one wish it would be that humans didn’t suffer with their herds. Being poorly certainly doesn’t help either. I shake my chubby fist to the head demons we all suffer with at one time or another. Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself. Sending you and everyone love ❤️

Hope you're feeling better Hazey. Don't underestimate how many ppl you help just by putting videos out. Your videos and banter got me off my arse and back out into nature. I'm doing better and have tons of walks planned and 100s of miles under my belt. That is directly as a result of your honesty, arty video skills and mostly your sense of humour. As for SAD and the flu. Yeah it kicked my arse last month, then I kicked its arse. Keep the faith brother.

Getting out is the best food for the soul. Hikes through the forest. It’s my happy place.

Much love back at ya Hazey and thank you for everything you do! Infact much love to all of you ❤

Your caring comes through, even with the flu. Take care of yourself. Thanks for the encouragement. Seasonal Affect is real!

Great stuff Haze. More people need to talk! I remember back in 2015. I sat in my room and wrote a list. On the left hand side it said kill yourself. On the right it was a list of goals and achievements I wanted to pursue. Been on a mission since. Mindset and learning to be happy alone are the BIGGEST things. I wish anyone and everyone who reads this all the best and a happy Xmas!!! X

Just keep doing what you do when you can. We will still be sat here in front of our screens when you post. The reason people reach out to you is because your real (not just pixels) and we relate to your ups and downs and how you move forward to try and overcome obstacles. One thing is for sure, you will leave a trace.

no joke haze im a pro dog walker and walk dogs that would be in the house all day,i get depression im on tablets but every year i feel down ,but i push myself ,,the crisp frozen mornings are beautiful ,and the thought of the dogs not getting a walk pushes me on ,,anyone feeling down, push yourself to go for a long walk and ill promise you you'll feel better ❤

Brilliant. So true. Sometimes all we need is a quick MEDIC moment and life is 👍

How true is this! I've been there myself and I know solitude in nature changes your life. It still does for me. Beautiful!

It gets better. I had a breakdown over 22 years ago. I got lots of help and support, took time out of life, and did what I could, when I could. The most important thing I learned through that adventure is to stop believing all the thoughts I think because most of them were not compassionate or empowering toward me. I still slip sometimes, but I know the symptoms, and I have a vast toolbox to help myself get back to compassionate and kindness.

As a struggling musician, I'm confronted and tested daily on the strength of my dream. Why does this have to be my passion? If I liked anything else I would've had a college degree by now, but as it is, there is nothing else.. I feel you Hazy

Mate i have been struggling for a couple of years, not reaching out but wanted to say your vids have helped me, i have laughed with ya, laughed at ya and felt the emotional stuff too. Its not your job to take on mine or anyone elses troubles and dont feel bad for not doing so. Keep making these and thats all ya can do. Much love for chrimble and hope you get shifted of the ode lung butter soon.

Uncle Hazy, mate...you helped me (and likely thousands of others) through a couple years that were pretty rough on the entire planet. I appreciate you and a few other channels more than I could ever express. Now that I have my own outlet, I intend to do a #showusyoursteak video for mental health of my own. I could use another round of that myself. So, whether you ever record another second of it for us or not; I hope you are enjoying more time outdoors, and are healthy and stay that way in the coming year. Much love, brother Hazy. ✌🍃

It’s lovely listening to you speak.

Just lost my old man mate. Don't ever worry, by doing what you do you help people way more than you will ever know. The burden of being a legend buddy. Hope all gets better with you and those around you, in what sounds like tough times. Hope all are OK. Much love, a southern brother.

This means more than any camping video. For someone who seems so chilled and positive, to be as vulnerable as you were means a lot. I've struggled over the last 2 years so feel ur words. Small steps. Mental health is a tough mudder, not a sprint. Much love

I"m not crying you're crying lol. I feel this brother. Truly.

What a fab human you are mate. It’s not always about showing strength ,but vulnerability too. You combine the both perfectly , and act as a real inspiration to so many of us. How many people fist bumped the screen in the outro ? I know that I did ✊😆

I started feeling ill around the 5th and honestly its only now that im starting to feel better. It absolutely floored me and being out of routine for 2 solid weeks has been sh*t. Made me realise how important the out of work stuff is....like going to the gym, jogging, walking in the woods, creative projects etc That's what keeps my mind balanced 🧠 Appreciate your videos, they've put a positive spin on many a tough days. 🙏🏻 Make sure you give yourself the time to recover properly, you can't pour from an empty cup. 💚 - Mandy

Have a wonderful new adventures this 2023. Enjoy your videos so much.

Peace and love to you all🙏

Oi! Oi! Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Congratulations, Hazey! Just read the news, GET IN!!!!!

Even just from the snippets we get to see of your life on youtube, it's been clear that you've been having a great time this year, Hazey. Been lovely to see. I spent the first 6 months of this year sat inside writing my thesis to finish my PhD, and it sent my noggin well and truly into the shed. Eventually I forced myself to do an hours walk every morning around my local woods before I started working, and honestly that was the one thing that actually helped me finish the damn thing. I know it's a cliche, but that's because it's true: nature really is the great healer. It strips back to bare truths and shows you what you need to be shown. Hope you're feeling better soon and that you enjoyed the snow dahhn saarf :)

Your are the reason i fell back in love with the outdoors, I owe you a lot! i speak for all your fans when i say Thankyou for being you!!💚

Sending love and well done on the deserved winning of outdoor filmmaker of the year! Congrats fella, your a star

Listening to you and realising it's like looking and listening to myself. Life is nature. Keep well Bud and remember your not the only one that feels this way.

Lovely to see you being yourself, 🙏

it's never pointless listen to haze waffle on. these are the best vids imo. this flu has been brutal lol....and as for sads yes I used to suffer with it,,,,nowadays I good threw all life's trials n tribulations....haze you are a huge help regarding mental health u probably don't know how good these talks are for us all. you helped me and will continue im sure

Mate been watching u for years didn't realise u felt like this I've had 2 years or hell I need to get back out there cause the fresh air help more then u know keep going pal

Thank you Hazy!

Out off all your great vids I think this is the best ! I tell others to get out , just be in nature , think about nothing ,just sit .... and smile ! WELL DONE Hazy ..

Much love Hazy, don't feel pressured that "you can't help everyone". It's an impossible task and through your content you are doing more than most of us could hope to do in shedding some light on and making conversations about mental health. My head was a shed just before lockdown happened, and lockdown maybe helped me mask it a little as it was very easy to literally lock myself away. It took a few years to come back to life and like many people it was the call of the outdoors that woke me back up. I went to a few fells and started to get fitter and eventually went to the North Wales coast for 3 nights in the tent with my lad, I came back completely different and I now get the tent out as much as possible. Everyone has a happy place and the coast is mine, I am hoping to do the camino de santiago next year as a pat on the back to myself for coming back from the edge. Again, much love mate. Some times it's hard for anyone to take credit, but you deserve lots for your consistent approach to promoting mental health.

Hello mate. I love your videos, and I found this one very touching. You have a heart of gold. Me and the Mrs are moving to York just after Christmas, so that we can be near the places we love. It's amazing how healing nature can be, and you're not wrong in what you say. My wife is a psychotherapist and she tries to help people in difficult times. But like her you must remember not to make yourself responsible. You can try and do your best to help and that's what you've done, but mental wellbeing is something people ultimately have to find for themselves. It sounds like you recently turned a corner, and I'm happy for you. Be well my friend and keep being the good person you are. X

Stay strong my man. You will always find solace in nature. 👍

Shout out to nature.

Awesome message - peace and love to everyone x

Great vid mate, I needed those words after a 💩 time lately. Never underestimate the positive influence you have on others, your videos have inspired so many to get out and enjoy nature including me. Peace and love brother ❤

Hazey, I haven’t been around for a while but you are wonderful. The kindest fella. Seriously. Love you man, you are something else 😢❤xx

Love you, man! You help so many people without knowing but you also need to make sure you don't take on the responsibility alone. You're a good honest man and we all respect you for it!

buzzing for the summer to get!! 1st lock down got me too... but have to work through it and nature is the heeler! peace out to you!!

Much love and big thanks for your wisdom Hazey.

Ay up. Totally agree buddy, nature is the best form of medication 👊💚

Hard to know what to say after watching that, you always manage to hit the spot and have probably helped way more people than you will ever know. Thanks for sharing and helping everyone who’s struggling realise they’re not alone, it’s all any of us can do 😊

Thankyoue hazy you help more people then you will ever know x thankyoue xxx

Congratulations Bobby. If I'd known there were beers in it I'd have bought an extra ticket. Congrats Hazey too for the well deserved award 🍾🎉🥂 Get well soon 🙏

"Don't listen to me" There a hundred thousand of us listening to you brother 💙 Good to see you youth, keep it comin

You my friend are a legend, thanks for you being you. Peace out brother X

Thank you, wise and helpful words. Thank you. Don't stress about getting out, you know that wilderness opportunity will arrive again. Take care. Harry

The best video i have ever watched. If this comes up as Ava's my daughter, but it's her dad. I'll watch many time.

Hazy I was stood on the cliffs ready to go, until the thought of leaving my kids, made me stop think, 3 years later my boy has found an interest in the outdoors,,, best wishes Mike

lol - these little "chats" are terrific. stay well haze. loving the content.

Much love Paul, you’re a good man. These last few years have been tough for most people so your thoughts will completely resonate with most of us. I love that your channel has become a source of support for people. Keep doing what you do Paul and make sure you stay happy. You’ve got tonnes of positives to focus on and you’re an inspirational guy.

'Heads a shed' ooo a plane..love ya man :) Congrats on your recent award big up Hazey

Getting out into nature is what allowed me to find your videos and they've given me so much inspiration to go further than I ever intended initially. I'm truly grateful as they've helped me a ton! Merry Christmas mate

Sending you loads of love.

Thank you, your videos are so soothing and inspirational. Feels like chatting with a great pal.

Watched your videos for years now mate. You’ve helped me so much and I can only hope you feel better as soon as

Much love.

Your honesty is very refreshing. Many thanks from Maine in the US

My mum died, I got cancer, love of my life left me, lost my job, had my ear surgically removed because of cancer all within the same year, only Nature saved me , nothing anyone said made any difference to me but Nature heals if you remember you are part of it .

I have cycled up that incline many a time. Lovely to see it in the snow.

Hello Hazey, I've been in a very dark place for about 5 years. Can't work, can't sleep properly and can't leave the house alone. I recently stumbled on your content and you have inspired me to get back to nature and take up hiking and camping. Its the only think that has motivated me to do anything in a long time. So I just wanted to say thank you for the videos and thank you for the advice and thank you for being you basically, thanks man

You lost yourself and found yourself again. Human AF ❤❤❤

You rock mate 👍

Spring comes and the pace of a walking lady 🙏 Thanks for sharing Hazy, your videos help a lot and got me back outside in nature

Hazey you truly are a beautiful human ❤️ Much love from your friends in Wales Ritchie veteran and Raven xxx We love you mate .stay safe and be well xx

Thank you, just thank you.

Stick with nature as much as possible Haze. It will help you all throughout your life. Xo

Nice video Hazy. The message of the video was brilliant. Congratulations also for winning an award 👋👋👋

Hazy you are a true inspiration to us all all who suffer with our nogging I am going through the worst time ever after the death of my son but watching your videos about getting out into nature really helped but like you said even though you no what helps you sometimes you just can’t bring yourself to do it. Get well soon and look after yourself much love. ❤️❤️🙏🙏

Thanks for sharing. Hit a chord with me. Nature has always helped me even though sometimes nothing feels like it would help.

I really needed to watch this today. Thank you so much

What a powerful message.... thank you for sharing

Haze people can really relate to you, all the "life stuff" going on...that's life itself! Your videos clearly help lift our spirits and I hope that the feedback you get from all of us here helps lift yours too. Merry Christmas!

Honestly an end of year video of how you are and what your year has been like is amazing. You have managed to gain a huge following of broken people (me included), who you give so much happiness and motivation too. Everyone struggles and having you go through life and share your pain with us really makes it easy to deal with things. As we want you to be OK and you always asking us to look after ourselves which is lacking in society. Ramble over, sending big hugs.

Yep. 2022 has been a right old challenge. I had two doses of the Covid. Work (NHS) has been all over the place. Right now, Boiler knackered watching this in me thermals and under a blanket with a mug of tea. To be fair, there's been plenty of good things in '22. Lets hope we can all enjoy whatever ride 2023 has in store. All the best for Xmas and New Year. 😀

I recently started watching your videos again and they are helping me. I have a big life change coming up in January and the nerves are a bit fried from the past year so thank you for these videos brother. Much love from America

Your quite simply the best KZfaqr in the UK. Others may have more skills but NO ONE is as interesting and entertaining than you mate. All the best for 2023.

I respect you so much for talking about this stuff. You come across as such a genuine person and it's helpful for a lot of people to see videos like this.

First of all: Thank you so much for talking about it and sharing this! After that: Yes, I think nature and time helps healing as well. And: You are not alone with peculiar mood swings.

Top bloke thanks for chat I think we all struggle in one way or another keep strong chap

Hazey, you are an inspiration and a great human being. Keep your chin up mate, being ill is a bummer but it will soon pass. I reunited with my Dad just before he died in April of this year and I talked about the charitable causes you have done on one of the nights I stayed with him and he said what a great person you sound like and the more people like you in this world the better it would be. I'm glad I was able to share your stories with my Dad, you don't know how much of what you do brings people either together or happiness. Keep up the good fight #onelove 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Nature is mint mate and I can't wait to get back out in't DD frontline 🙌

Fabulous video Mr Haze. The story about sitting in your van really struck a chord for me, I drove 50 miles to an event this year and couldn't make myself go in to it due to my chronic ADHD. We all love your videos here keep on keeping on. Happy Christmas and an even better 2023.

I can relate to this completely. The outdoors is my personal doctor, doesn’t cost me a penny and isn’t going anywhere. Without it, I’d be fooked.

You’re the best Outdoors KZfaqr out there. the laughs you bring to people is Amazing! Pleased you’re feeling in a better place. I followed you Foot steps on the Cleveland Way from your inspiration.

Kick up the arse I needed.. been there for the last year.. you helped at least one person lad, proper inspiration.

Hey mate, Firstly this was a lovely surprise as i'v not seen a video for a few weeks. Its always an absolute joy spending time with you in the great outdoors. Secondly THANK YOU for this little mental health chat. We all know you suffer every now and again with the old brain noggin so i for one truly appreciate you doing this. Personally i always find you very up beat and a positive chap who has a great sense of humour which is why watching your videos brings me much joy. Honestly you are so special to so many so please always reach out when you need too. I hope you have an awesome christmas and a great positive and mentally strong new 2023. Very much looking forward to new content and great adventures in the new year. As always be well and safe travels.

Lots of Love Mate! Thank you great! ❤

I come back to the video all the time. It's helped me immensely. Just to know there's another person out there with their head in a shed. All your videos help. Sometimes I just need to see you huddled in a soggy tent, with a packet of rehydrated spag-bol stuffed up your jumper to make things a little bit better. Thank you ! ❤

You're doing the right thing by talking, keep it up and do one thing at a time 👍

Be safe be well and stay as you. The future is brighter when you stop repeating yesterday. Take care always happy Christmas

Hope you feel better soon 💜💜
