Great introduction to the swagman options. Much appreciated!

666 views as I watch this, I see myself as view 667 and breaking the devils hold on you or anyone reading. Ive been having an incredibly difficult time lately and think I found this for a reason. I pray for you brother, I feel for men in the UK/Europe. In the States its still difficult here but current climates across the pond make me feel for my brothers there.

Thanks randy,us men on a whole are crap at talking about our thoughts and feelings,i lost my best friend of 33 years in late 2023,he was just like a brother to me and we used to hunt,fish,hike etc but we also talked about life and we saw each other through breakups,family losses etc,saying this i am sheding a tear,but guys thats ok,if you need to cry about anything just do it.

Good video. You're hitting close to where I am - mentally. For the past 11 years I have regularly been walking the spanish camino - combining my love of hiking and my "nerdish" love of new equipment with my need to turn off my ever worrying mind. Yes I know exactly what you mean with ruminate. Hiking and walking the camino have often helped to fix my position in life. Right now I'm in the planning stage of the next camino - and this time with my recent buy Kahakka 25L. Some years ago it was with the TT-mission pack purely based on your video. Still my favourite pack. So you definitely have an impact. Thanks again bro.

Jesus said "life is not supposed to be easy" We are all here to learn different lessons in every lifetime until we eventually go back to the creator Therefore those that end it early will be reborn again anyway to learn the same lesson They are not shortening there torment they are lengthening it So live a full life until your natural last breath ❤🤍💙

Now I understand why I have always liked having/making different things that hang around the neck- sharpening stones, bamboo whistles, compass, leather pouches, fire starters, etc. It gives you something to focus on, quieting the head noise. A piece of fat wood is nice because the smell will transport you to the wild places. I think my favorite is a Kala brass sundial because it requires some focus to use because it is a bit fiddly and the brass is, well, it’s not plastic. Natural materials seems to work best, wood, brass, copper, stone, leather, etc.

Thank you! Beautiful view. Looking forward to more videos on this and your other channel. Have a great 2025. God bless! Be safe! 🤙🪖👮🙏🇺🇸

This depression thing is more widespread than it ever used to be, it’s got alot to do with how we are living these days in my opinion . Society is not well. Not good . I tell you Randy sometimes i forget how big Shropshire is, lovely spot there mate.

Good effort mate, takes real guts. Also, loving the button compasses. 😁👍

Thank you for sharing Brother! It all helps! 🙂👍🏆

After leaving the comment on your original video regarding using a button compass as an Inception inspired totem for mental health, im glad you did this new video. It takes balls to open up about your mental health and im glad youre doing so much better now. I ended up buying a similar compass made by Marbles from Heinne Haynes. I got my brother one too. They help so well just to take a couple of minutes to clear your mind while looking at them and feeling the weight of the brass! Great for grounding yourself. Thanks for the content and im sure itll help alot of us blokes. 🤜🤛👍

Excellent piece of content, I've been struggling a lot recently and came close to hitting the self delete button as you so succinctly put it. I'm now on the path to recovery and this piece of content shows how important it is to talk about our challenges. Thank you so much.

I have had struggles in the past. I have found that with the passage of time thing get better but it can be a slow process. Take each day at a time and enjoy every small win or positive.

Mr. Moorlander, I've followed you for some time now. I've always found your videos to be informative, honest, funny and unpretentious. Thanks for sharing these personal thoughts. We all struggle with life. I find your videos to be calming as well as all the things I stated above. Keep up the good work, you're doing a great job! And you're teaching us all a lot of good things.

Thanks you!

EDC is not only "stuff" but ALL you carry with you every days

Well done mate for this takes balls

Respect for talking about this 👏

Is this near Macc?

That looks like the Birmingham canal in selly oak

I'm inordinately fond of my tweed cap from Earland brothers hatters in Leicester.

Nice humour. John Mclain, woods, cops and platoon. A Walter Mitty dream 😂😂😂

hope there will be a 18350 super short ver. and 18650x2 baton ver. for the edc line. A strobe mode would be nice too

At 30 litres do you think it would work well for an overnighter if you added some external pouches? I am managing really well for 1-3 day trips with a Helikon Matilda and early like the compact nature of it rather than a massive bag. Sadly some mice got at it this winter and ate through some of the straps 🤦‍♂️ so looking for a new pack that could do the same.

Does it have a proper lockout mode? Thanks

As a frequent business traveler myself, unfortunately I didn’t learn anything from your content

I have a tweed one, Totes brand. The lining is getting worn, but will still last a while longer. I saw one for sale in a thrift store and almost got it, but I was short on money at the time. After looking at some other clothing, I decided I would get it. It was gone! I think someone saw me try it on and put it back, and they grabbed it.

Have a beautiful day out there. 😊

All true randy,ive done many mountains in the uk and getting ya heartbeat up is so dam good for us

Speaking truth to bullshit! But in the nicest possible way - excellent

Ahhhh the outstanding Mountain 6 Buff, a good call my friend! I'm only a few miles away in Stafford now, hopefully I'll see you in your hill kingdom my Lord when we're both out and about.

Sir, there is one exception to the reverse orientation and that if riding a motorcycle off road

Got mine from The Army Surplus, brilliant smock … love ye videos matey ..

Flat caps are urban in N of England as well as rural.

Does this pack come with a rain cover?

Thanks for the video. I gotta tell you I really like you doing the review outdoors with the ground background. Really added some color and made it different. You probably can’t do that for every video but I just wanted to tell you I liked it.

Show us the cash option. U forgot to mention it

Hello! Offtopic. Any plans on reviewing new Helikon treadstone jeans?(cordura fibers used)

The end of your video is so great that you make my day 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Looks a beautiful day for a yomp in a winter wonderland ML, well done mate 😊👍🥾

There more aerodynamic when the winds whip up.

Factual

Baton 3 Pro every day ,for me the perfect edc flashlight, amazing product 2 years of use and never had any problem, never changed the battery, simply amazing

Used to be the mark of a working man back in the day, up in the shipyards on the Clyde they called 'em "bunnets" (bonnet), and you could always pick out the foremen as they traditionally wore bowler hats while all the workers wore their "bunnets". Overjoyed to receive my "bunnet" in the form of a Boston Scally from my brother. Somewhere, I think my Irish ancestors were grinning and hoisting a pint.

Truth

I like that new bag. I'!l have to check out the smaller version.

I love being greyman. That’s why my camo is urban and molle backpack is black.

Good video, I prefer the zipped version myself, where's your flat cap today?

Hello again, I’ve now got the watch (again!!) and love it, you’re right, the pedometer does work automatically so that’s great, I’d rather it tracked distance than step though as steps means nothing. By the way the last screen on the A button isn’t sunrise/sunset - i really wish it was - it’s world time 👍🏻
