Just missing you and Occy 😥

Missed you guys! Thank you for sticking with us whilst we knuckled down to get through the paramedic training 🤓 Keep being kind to yourselves and reach out to those you care about x 💛

Stop it. You're supposed to look like a dork when you shave after so long and instead you look like James Bond. It's not fair on the rest of us!

Max shaves his beard thinking he's gonna look weird, looks like a movie star lol

Tom, the support you give Max is so awesome. He is lucky to have a brother that cares so much...and makes him laugh.

“It’s fine not to be OK. But, we all deserve to feel good.” Well said Max, the Quote-of-the-Month mate❣️

Not gonna lie, you are one of my favourite content makers on KZfaq and I freaking love it when I've got a new video to watch; but peeps genuinely get that this is your actual life. Don't ever sweat the frequency of your uploads. What works for you, works for us!

How could you be so handsome, so kindhearted, so hardworking and so humble. Your parents raised you well. Your bro is as cool as yourself. Wish you and Occy well. Once a month of video from you is better than none. Stay safe! 😷😷

Tom is a crack up , what a beautiful bond and friendship you 2 have .

The changes just keep coming! 😁 You look terrific with or without the beard. And Occy gives such a classic “what?!” face at the end. 😆 Loved seeing the joy of Rory running into your arms and the interaction with your brother. Well worth the wait! And I’m happy to support you even if it’s only one vid a month. Your mental health is what’s most important!! Cheers! ❤️🐾😊

Wow, you look 10 years younger without all the hair and beard 😮 and even more handsome if that's possible. Don't worry, I'm your mothers age, but can still admire a handsome man when I see one. In fact your mother has inspired me to ditch the dye and let my natural white/silver hair shine through. Am soooo sick of dyeing it and your mum looks amazing, so thank her from me for being inspirational.

I'm a veteran who has PTSD and depression. I've had been doing well for many years, and it seems like over the last couple of years, along with the pressures that COVID has brought into my life, I found I've just been white knuckling things for awhile. Like you turn around and so much of your life is just not flowing anymore, and your ability to manage stress and relationships seems to be barely managing. I think watching this channel, and others, where you keep hearing people say "It's okay to not be okay", make it asking for help seem less overwhelming . Even though my local Veteran's Medical Center doesn't have availability open, they've set me up with a program like the one Max is talking about. I did get to choose the therapist I wanted. Within just a couple of days I had contact and a date to start up. Next week is my first session online. As nervous as I am to start therapy again after so long, I know this will be helpful and I'm pretty sure without the hassle of having to take time off and drive to appointments, it will be so much less impactful to other responsibilities I have.

I’m a US ER nurse. Thank you for being one of “us” in the fight we are in. ❤️

Tom is a riot! He totally keeps you humble! No worries of getting too full of yourself with him around! I love the shave! It was getting a little thick and you keep getting younger each week! Congratulations on your certification!

Love your candor about taking time to heal and re-adjust your life but so proud of you for re-dedicating yourself to service and the well-being of others. Your soul radiates good.

Your brother is a national treasure. Great humor! Love all the beach views! See you in a month. With plants.

Max walking on a new beach saying this one isn’t too bad either, then proceeds to show us a stunning piece of earth! I mean, whoa! STUNNING BEACH!

I'm so glad you have sand for your toes, Tom for giggles, and Occy for the cuddles! So much love Max 🌹

We do miss you Max but your mental health is more important than weekly vlogs for us. I’m happy with what ever you want to share. Occy’s looking great, you’re telling us you’re happy. That’s perfect. Cheers from Canader eh!

I have a big brother 3 years older , two brothers laughing together is a wonderful thing , family is everything ! 💚👍👍👍

We are "invested" Max, and so it's great to see you excited for the future❗👊 BE KIND‼️

“I don’t know how they’re going about their day today with the thought they haven’t been done yet” hahaha shoutout to your brother for all this great content and helping keep you down to earth.

Hey Max! I really loved the new style of video. It made me feel like I was right there experiencing your day. It's so nice to see not only your travels, but a little bit of your time at work and, of course your family. Your nephew is the cutest and your brother, Tom, is hilarious. Hi Tom! Anyway, you know we're fine with whatever time you post a video. We just want you happy and enjoying the hell out of life. Much love to you all.

Lee would be so proud of you and occy!

It was lovely hearing you laugh with Tom. You’re very close and that’s lovely to see. He’s got a terrific sense of humour and he makes all of us laugh, but more importantly, he makes you laugh and smile and that’s more important. Stay safe, you’re loved. Take care, give a hug to occy and we’ll see you next time 👍🏻

Posting once a month is cool! if everyone posts once a week it gets a bit too much and it's more meaningful if you post only once a month or at least not every single week. everyone's busy

Max, you and your brother make a great comedy team! It’s obvious how much he cares for you. And you look very nice clean shaven. No worries!

The bong between your brother is truly special.

I enjoy the bloopers at the end....could you make a habit of sharing bloopers too? We all love to laugh. Oh and Occy rolling his eyes towards the end like " hooomans ugh" was funny too 😄🥰

Oh my gosh your brother is HILARIOUS, I love him so much! And I’m so happy you have him and his energy in your life. You seem better, lighter. I know it’s a long haul, but it’s such a relief to see you pushing forward and to hear your laughter 💛

Canada misses you Max but knowing your home with the fam jam and Occy is Peace! We love Tom 2

Your brother is a total comedian! He must be a great support and encouragement!

My 15-year-old Westie is slipping away and seeing Occy cheered me, much as Occy did when he returned from Canada, thanks for the video.

Handsome! You can post once a year. I’m positive your subscribers will stick by you, I will. I know the whole mental health thing all to well. Rock on

Well done Max So glad you're not over doing it with the parametics, as a Registered Nurse myself I know how good it feels to help others but at the same time can it can also sap the soul. Tom reminded me of a good neighbour who after I mentioned that I needed to attend to my garden needed hedging said ..."oooh yes the hedge police will be along to fine you anytime soon!" this comment broke through and taught me to take a breath and as time has gone on my perfectionism has diminshed somewhat. Have realised we can get too precious about the small stuff and there are just more things in life to appreciate.... I have just about finished my van build & transferred my casual position from Bunbury Hospital to Port Hedland WA. I am now beginning my 🚐 travel & working 🇦🇺. On my way North I am currently visiting my folks in Beverley WA with temperature 6°C overnight and day temp of 21°C...looking forward to my adventures and the warmer temperatures of up north between 18-32°C. Look after yourself Max. Don't stress about social media, am sure everyone will wait patiently for your next installment. 🤗🚐🇦🇺😎

Max, with you thru thick or thin...hair and no beard look great. Tom is a hoot, and I love seeing Rory in the vids..he's growing up fast, and he truly loves his Uncle Max. Stay healthy, and safe out there. 💛🙏

Short hair, long hair, facial hair or not you’re still very handsome. So is your bro btw. You look very happy. I hope and pray you truly are. God bless. 🙏🏽

So the shave was more of a shock for me than the haircut! Looking good and it seems getting back to the paramedic job is good for you. What a blessing for you to have your brother and family. Y’all crack me up. Hugs to Occy and stay safe out there.

I love that you and your brother laugh and joke and pick on one another. You can definitely tell you are a close family 🙂.

You're amazing! We love you, Occy ( and Tom!). I'm an older US fan. My husband lived in Adelaide and Geraldton in the early 70s. He loved Australia and the people there. I think his time there was life changing in a wonderful way. Seeing bits of Australian life through your videos is a treat. Seeing you inspire others to stay happy and healthy is inspiring.

I rarely comment on videos, I usually just watch, "like" & keep going but I felt the need to comment. I've been watching you for a while now, back when you & Lee ❤ had a channel and of course now. I've always thought of you as such a kind, generous, loving guy that is truly genuine with your words/actions. I don't always get that vibe from people I watch but you've always been so "real" to me. Please never change that. I love watching you no matter what the content is about. I'm inspired by your kindness. Xoxo

Max, you truly do look as though the choices you're making are the right ones for you at this moment in your life. I'm pleased for you and relieved, frankly. It's been so rough for you this past year, and you deserve to be able to look forward and feel peace. All the best to you.

Hands down one of the most wholesome channels on my list. I truly enjoy your content and positive messages. Keep up the hard work. Cheers.

The personal transformation continues! You're one of the few men I've seen who shave off the facial hair and LOOK EVEN BETTER!!! Just when I thought you couldn't possibly get any hotter! It's so good to see you coming back to life. Occy seems mighty happy, too. Love seeing you with your brother, thanks for the giggles. Keep on keeping on Max. You're doing great!

Max, whether its 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months take all the time you need between filming, we're just stoked to see you and occy when we can! Loved the video. Great to see you're back into something you're clearly so passionate about❤️

Everybody needs a brother to give them a little shit every once in a while. Enjoy each other. Friends come and go, but family is there for you through thick and thin.

Love the sibling banter.

Your eyes really stand out without the beard. Everyone knows you’re cute but I couldn’t get over how bright your eyes look!! I’m glad you are taking care of yourself. Be well. 💛💛💛

I love to hear the laughter ❤️🌿👍

No problem w a vid once a month. It’s how genuine you are that counts, which is why I watch your channel. You & your brother are so fun together! Hugs to Occi.

I agree with you. The children are way more important than figuring out the plant decor! Thank you for sharing your life via the van blog. It is heartwarming to know you are living in the moment and doing well

I just love Occy. You're a great dogdad

You look wonderful with or without the hair. So happy you are moving forward. Love your traveling puppy, makes my heart swell for the love and care you give occy.

Max, take all the time you need and want. We are here for you and we will stay. And btw-it is not all that bad to see those videos without a schedule, as it is a nice surprise :) Take care, enjoy your time with your brother, nephew and all the family, have much sadisfaction from Your work and a huge hug to Occy! Cheers from Poland!

Who the heck IS that handsome YOUNG man! In the US your would be asked to prove your age in order to enjoy a beer! Love seeing you living a fulfilling life journey even as you continue your recovery and independent van life.

OMG, Max. A man in uniform with an Aussie accent!! I’ve died and gone to heaven. I think the haircut looked fine even though I loved your luscious locks; the shave of mustache and beard is surprisingly easy to get used to. You’re such a good soul and it’s great to see you and Occy again. Sending loads of love!!

So good to see your content again Max.....and it's always changing which is very refreshing. Love your face!! and seeing your work routine...although it can't be an easy one....it looks like you're taking care of yourself well with food choices and exercise. I am looking forward to you sharing your life again with someone special one day (take your time)....I'm thinking it must be a bit lonely on the road and working doing 12 hour shifts. Loved having your brother on too and as people have mentioned...he seems like he likes to pick good fun! Much love sending to you Max. You look great! And as always, Occy too :-)

I love the good-natured bantered with your handsome brother! Glad you're doing well, Max. You're a good, genuine guy.

How about a Max and Tom and Occy mini road trip?! The interaction between you two is great and so funny.

Love the new look! Now , I do believe near the end of the video I saw Occy give an eye roll!😂😂❤️🇨🇦❤️🇦🇺🐾🐾❤️❤️

Love the brother banter! You two are hilarious together. And your beard is the perfect beard for going clean and then having the scruff again in 2 days! Keep up the good work, Max. We’re always happy to see you here whenever you post.

So great to see you looking so well, Max. Who knew that under all that facial hair was such a handsome dude?! Seriously. Love that you are working out and making sure Occy gets his exercise too. Your ‘bro banter’ made me laugh out loud. So nice to see you together again. Will wait patiently on the edge of my seat for your next vid. In the meantime, stay well. ❤️ from 🇨🇦

The back & forth with your brother at the end was 👍. Glad you're able to spend time with family, especially with the little ones who love so unconditionally. Keep on keeping on.

So lovely to see you doing so well! Love that your brother keeps you humble. You have so much to be proud of ...... transitioning back into a career, taking care of your physical and mental health, making Occy a priority during your transition, sticking to a routine, eating well and so much more. Very inspiring!Cracked me up that you have become a real bachelor eating out of pots and blenders. My husband would love if we did the same as he is always on about using too many dishes. You are a handsome young man with/without more hair and you are so kind and considerate. Anyone who gets you for a call is lucky and so is your family. Your nephew was clearly excited to spend time with you! Honestly am smiling ear to ear that you have a little sparkle in your eyes again. Grief comes in waves, some big, some small and some days there are no waves at all ..... our son would be a bit older than you had he not found life too tough. There isn’t a day he is not part of. Seeing someone else live and overcome grief is encouraging ..... not that grief is always is a state of despair, but it is a steep climb back to living life. You are doing so well and we are cheering you on! Your success encourages me to do better and enjoy life more too. Take care .... glad you are not making regular videos as it means you are making yourself and your family the priority they should be. We can wait! 🙏👏🎉

I was just thinking about this channel yesterday 🥰 The shave took 10 yrs off....you look like a college boy 🤩

Keep taking care of yourself and Occy first. ‘Loving the sibling rivalry/love! “Sorry Mate!” 🤣

Love your bro... the two of you are hysterical🙂

Smashing inside and out. Know that we appreciate your vloggs so much but we dont claim or expect anything. Love that you are excited for the future❤

Max, your brother makes me laugh, hes genuinely such a good guy. Y'all are definitely related as you're such a good guy too. I don't care how long I wait between videos, catching any content from you is always a treat.

Max, your family is awesome!❤️

Oh the memories! That alarm after 2 hours sleep, the alarm after power napping on the mattress in the back of my car for 20 minutes during a 4am break..... and then trying to look wide awake and ready for those emergencies when you feel/look more like something the dog chewed. You guys always looked so awake and on the ball when you wheeled those patients in. Good on you Max. Its one of the hardest jobs around.

Missed the two of you as well but thrilled to see you so much happier “jeez you are such a perfectionist” - your brother is a legend Manscape, landscape……… Love seeing you giggle And that you and Occy are living the best life you can right now Cheers 💗🙏🏻

i can't believe just this morning, I was thinking about how much I missed your videos, Max, and wondering if you would still be able to vlog with restarting the paramedics career. And just like that, here you are! The clean shave really makes your smile pop. Tom's too! ;-) You two are adorable.

Love Love Love That brotherly bantering

You are a whole snack in that uniform! Keep being awesome, and know that what you do out there means so much. You help and heal so many people on your way in so many ways

I’m from Newcastle, England and have always wondered what Newcastle in Australia looks like. Looks a great place so thanks for showing the area. I definitely think you’re looking happier in yourself. You made the right call to get some purpose back into your life by returning to your paramedic work. I’ve got a brother and just like you two, love to take the mick out of each other. Take your time Max, we’ll be here for the long haul so keep doing what you’re doing 👍

I'm so happy for you Max and Occy! You beautiful souls bring me smiles!

Well, I got you beat on the Coffee thing. I NEVER drank Coffee until I was 64. (I am 67 now!) I was a tea snob until then. Then came Cold Brew!! Amazing. I can not get over you clean shaven. Ten years gone like that. Awesome. Great video. Great to see you two!!

Your “funny” side really shines through… I loved it… You guys made me laugh… It’s all in the family:)

Loved the banter between you and your brother. Hoping for more Tom cameos in the future. Stay safe.

You’re inspiring. I imagine that you are helping many people on your journey to better mental health. You’re a blessing.

Hola from New Mexico! It should be against the law to have two charming, handsome men in one family! I'm glad you and Occy are doing well. What you're doing is probably the best therapy. ... helping others. I haven't been following you long so it is nice to see you smile. And, it was a nice surprise to see your vid in my que.

Gotta love our families. The dynamic between you and your brother is awesome. Don’t work too hard. Love your beaches!

The waking up montage with a blurred beginning was really well done. Great film work Max! Good to see you moving along. Nice seeing Newcastle too 🤘🤘 😜 🤪

Nice to see this side of you, Max, getting ragged on by your big bro. Nice to have such a supportive family ❤️

Love hearing you two laugh together!!

Max - you're awesome. Whatever you're doing, you're doing. And you're doing great. I love you brother.

Stunning beach that has got to be great for anybody’s mental health

Tom can start VanScape for the vanlifers out there. You two are much alike in your mannerisms. Glad you are well, once a month checking in is perfect. 👌

I’m a novocastrian currently overseas. Man it’s nice to see my home beaches!

You and Occy have been missed as well! I often check to see if you have posted anything. It's enough to know that you are both doing well❤ I don't know y'all personally but you guys have been a part of our lives so long that you feel like family! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy life to drop in and say hi. Love and prayers from Mississippi❤

While commendable as your profession is you could also be of service by acting/modeling. Definitely make peoples heart flutter with no defibrillator needed 💕

The clean shave actually looks good on you. Enjoying the new day in the life kinda vlog. Big fan bro. Take it easy 🤙🏾👍🏾

You have such a wonderful family Mac 💕💕

Hi mate, good to see you getting along with your life, Occy is looking good and I know he is a great source of help as I have 3 of my own and they helped me no-end with my recent break-up, my own Sprinter has become uneconomical to repair but I've kept it on my land and use it for storage - starting it occasionally. Times are tough for a lot of people in one way or another, just know there are people around the world who care about how you're doing, enjoy those lovely beaches. Regards👍 Tony in Spain 😊

You do you, Max. Love watchin vids whenever you post em. Take your time, we’ll be here

Just found your channel and I really have so much respect for you and the really needed message your passing on to everyone. You look great in both your looks.Good luck on the job.Occy is the greatest.

I’m an RN living in my van and just a tip for your maxxair fan to block it out is to cut some cardboard to fit, paint it black and put it above the removable fly screen.

So glad to see you and Occy back, even if it isn't as frequently as many of us would like.

It’s been such a treat to see you and your brother a bit more. He clearly makes you laugh and your energy together is absolutely lovely. Family is the best medicine! The scene of you running your toes through the sand made me feel like I need to go to the beach stat! Hot sand between the toes! Thank you again for sharing a slice of your *new* life journey with us Max and Occy!
