When the Universe pisses on your plans, then sends Dolphins to sooth you. Strange world. You made the best of it; maybe that's the point. Much Love

[@James-stone]

You win. I spilt a pan full of Thai green curry in the back of my van and it smelt of off coconut milk for years, but 5L of Truckers Tizer has to take the biscuit. Good effort.

[@whatsnottohike]

I wish people would stop saying they failed. You didnt fail, circumstances occurred that made you feel it was not the right time. It happens mate. By keep telling ourselves we failed only feeds into that negative part of the brain that prevents us from taking on other tasks, as well as making us feel like shit. You took a decision and you stuck to it, ended up seeing dolphins swimming wild and made plans for another day. Thats a BIG win in my books. Hapoy hiking!

[@samgrant83]

Thanks for sharing. To get your Piss TSD into context, I was sorting out my brother's drainage in his place in Portugal - he said to bash the pipe join, so I did, and the pipe join released and he got sprayed with the backed up contents of the cess pit - I got a bit of a shower after I fell backwards off the ladder into the stream but he got the worst of it. It was an absolute horror show.

[@Velkairiwyth]

"I even bought new socks" 😅 creased. Not oversharing at all. Exactly the Haze experience we expect :p better luck next attempt. We'll be watching. Win or fail, from me n the misses :)

[@amateur_hiking]

My Dad died and is buried on Skye. I’ve not persuaded myself to go back in 24 years. A tragic memory for such a beautiful place. One day…

Bro, for years throughout your ups and downs you have entertained, educated, informed and perhaps most of all inspired so many people. Dig deep, slow breaths, small steps. Some wonderful shots in this one, quite special, God bless bro 🙏

[@danielrodriguez5349]

The best thing about the piss fiasco is here soon you will be reliving the story over some pints with a couple mates and you all will absolutely be busting a gut, how fun that will be… Your van is officially Marked….. As always thank you for all the love🌺🐝🌺

Paul bro, i wouldnt be doing the things i love if it were not for me finding your videos, if its meant to be it will be, if its not meant to be it wont be, it will be when its meant and your planned trip will happen when the universe says its meant to be, by the way, im booked in for a tattoo, it will read read, " when lifes kicking your ass, kick your own ass even harder " haze 2024, these words of yours and your enthusiasm has saved me more than you will ever know, thank you Paul,,,,,, mat

[@ianpark1805]

I always knew shit happened, but piss too? A cautionary tale. No trip to Skye is ever a waste and that trail isn’t going anywhere. And if nowt else, you’ve got the socks for it now.

[@chrismoutdoors]

Two Haze videos in a week? Absolutely mega. Hope you’re doing well Hazy. That’s my evening sorted.

[@davelittle3503]

A day seeing dolphins isn’t a day wasted. Slip this experience into the win column Haze mate. W

You’re right mate it was a special camp

Thanks mate. I've been up to do the Trail twice and the weather has beaten me both times. We shall return! Take care. 👍

Thanks for everything you do Paul. From a fellow black dog.

Sending love mate

[@MrBaiLiE7]

A lot of doggers on this channel

[@iwilson227]

Excuse my ignorance but what's a black dog? Or is it an "if you know you know"

[@vision_thing]

@@iwilson227 the black dog is our mental health problems, Paul is exactly like myself, mental health champion, but the dog is always on our shoulder, we just know how to stop it from coming in, or do our best to fight it off. Paul is doing an amazing job in explaining what he goes through, I know he has helped a lot of people, maybe even saved some lives. I very much respect his honesty and he has my admiration. All the above was simplified into my 1 line post above and Paul got it. Hope you are well @iwilson227, we are lucky to have this channel.

[@susanlambert8164]

What a stunning spot, didn't you just want the dolphins to leap out. Always a reason for everything Haze next time you start the trail it'll be amazing. Great vid as normal. Peace🤗

[@HazeOutdoors]

It was a win in the end

[@KurnelK]

Fabric conditioner bottle with a little bit left in the bottom to piss in. Wide neck to get the big fella in, sturdy handle and the conditioner makes it smell nice. 👌🏻

[@khrysomallos4887]

Good tip thanks, I'm doing a road trip to Finland in July so gonna give that a try.

[@wainyoutdoors]

Ha Ha The piss pot !! many would not even talk about it!! But Hazy "warts an all" I love that. Keep doing what you do mate, you inspire the rest of us to get out there!!

[@jamesalder9603]

Absolutely howling as you listed all the possessions you’ve covered in piss😂😂😂

[@wanderingnowhere277]

At least it wasn't another bottle of piss . So that's a positive 😂 beautiful little video mate, keep on doing what you're doing 👍🏼

[@RS.Outdoors]

You will get back and get it done. My first attempt last year was horrific due to the weather and decided to bail. However got back on it it last week and completed at last. Would recommend doing it South to North as feel the views and scenery is better when walked in reverse.

[@ricktablelander5043]

Now I know more about Isle of Skye other than where ' Drambuie' is made !!

Talisker is most famous scotch on Skye. Lethal. 21:54

Somehow this is what my noodle needed Hazy.. thank you again!

[@stuartbritton2417]

Oh Haze... one of my favourite places there. Keep strong. you're a legend mate. Namaste 🙏

[@smittylite02]

Urine quite the spot mate. 🤣 Skye is such a stunning place. Universe and headspace will align when you get to do the trail and it will be the most amazing experience. Can't wait until you get the chance and have the opportunity to share.

[@utbRob]

No journey is a waste. You got to the start line! Appreciate you, mate!

[@murth63]

Beautiful terrain man love the content you put up 👌👌

[@doctorm5516]

What a beautiful spot. Beautiful doesn't cover it. I camped at a wee beach on the West of Ireland once, and there was this low mist over a millpond sea - a pod of dolphins just softly porpoised parallel to the beach, maybe 15 or 20 metres from me. Still one of my most magical memories. Sorry mate, but I laughed pretty hard at your 5 litres of piss story. And is it Ace Ventura that rides on two dolphins or is that a fake memory? You're amazing Haze, much love!

[@graceygrumble]

Dolphins can perk up the darkest mood. Beautiful Skye can help, too. Nice one!

[@SuperCragster]

Thank you for the honesty. I shouldn't laugh but when you said everything was covered in piss it made me lol.

[@khrysomallos4887]

My missus was howling, she nearly weeed on the sofa! I'm from York (Stammy Bridge) originally and she's from Finland and we just wanna say a huge thanks for all your content xx

[@AndyCooper761]

A mate of mine used to take a dump into empty paint pots in the back of his van, if he was ever caught short on a decorating job. One day a local bobby opened the rear door of the van to see my mate perched over an empty paint pot. A bit of PTSD for both parties, I imagine?!

[@missogyny4921]

Thought you were going to say he added some white spirit to his dumpage and used it to paint fences.

[@LaziUK]

Another visual gem with chat to soothe the noodle! The bottled it dolphins were amazing!

[@yellowboot6629]

Thanks 🧙

Love ya man.❤

[@davemayers9342]

Oh my god, the piss everywhere story had me laughing so hard man. Sorry to find your sad mishap so funny, but it's one of those tales that you'll be telling over a pint for years to come. I have a colostomy bag that burst open last time I went camping, and my lovely warm sleeping bag was suddenly drenched in pooh in the dead of night. Not the way you want to wake up at 3am in the middle of nowhere, with no backup plan. Apparently shit does happen.

[@Ey_up]

@davemayers9342 Something similar happened to me one night after 5 pints of Guinness...😂

[@davemayers9342]

@@Ey_up ah the Guinness Bum. Had that back in the day but not inside the sleeping bag I had to dig a hole in my friends garden and bury my undies to hide the crime. They are still there in his yard all these years later 😆

I did once piss in a fiji bottle. 2 hours later on a long drive I took a swig and then spat it all over my dash. The car stank forever, eventually I sold it.

brilliant, a real positive from a pissy start. good turn around on the head front. wonderfull viewing as always

[@stucook8622]

Thanks Hazy 🍺

[@marklewis2625]

Right place, wrong time, m'man. Keep the vids coming.

[@theeaselrider4032]

I've had motorcycle trips like that, where anything that could go wrong, did. But in the end there's always something that comes out of it. Maybe because you have to work harder to get there, makes it more enjoyable. If it helps, your video was exactly what I needed today. I am ( mostly) a landscape painter, and Skye is so perfect for what I love to do. The colors and shapes of those rocks are what I see in my head when I start a painting. I will get there one day. Thanks mate.

I can’t believe you had enough left in the tank to piss in your tent after filling your van ,respect 😂 That was an awesome video mate ,thanks 👍🏻

[@SteveSeadog]

Sorry the trip didn't go to plan, but thanks for the intro to Skye. I'm travelling up in September from the south coast on my motorcycle. As you say, roughly 14 hours in the saddle over 2 days. Really looking forward to the trip. Hope you get to walk the trail this year.

[@paulaparkinson7067]

I would have tripped over the guy lines straight into the drink!!

[@matthewcollis6259]

I don't usually enjoy laughing at someone else's expense but I failed miserably at the piss bottle incident Hazy, nearly had to call a doctor to stop me laughing as you were describing your vanly possessions being covered in 'Long Distance Drivers Lucozade' I feel for ya mate as that van is gonna take some cleaning - you could always horse a pint of milk everywhere to cover up the piss smell 🤣

[@Caffeine_And_Seawater]

Great to see some more regular uploads. I’ve paddled round parts of the Hebrides in a kayak and seen sea eagles and loads of other stuff, but never been up to Skye yet. Safe travels both physically and mentally

[@HazeOutdoors]

I was really hoping to see a sea eagle and a golden eagle but alas

[@Caffeine_And_Seawater]

@@HazeOutdoors just another reason to go back. When I saw one, it looked like a shed sitting on the side of a cliff, till it spread its wings and flew, it was huge

[@barkingatthemoon6256]

I know what you mean about putting a positive spin on things. Just completed a 100 mile walk from Aviemore to Aberdeen yesterday. On day 2 (after a glorious hot morning) I was hit with a freak rain storm which soaked me, the dogs and my kit. I pitched the tent and got myself out of it for the eve and woke to a beautiful dry morning. I could have moped about everything being wet but I got on with it in the hope the better weather would dry everything out. Even used the trick with the sandwich bags in the boots 😂.

[@MrPurplepirate77]

I guess when it came to your van ‘you left a trace’. Great video mate, nothing will replace what you get to see and breathe

[@Darrenski]

With my habit of sleepwalking my tent would be considerably further from the edge. I've been known to have a piss in the corner of the bedroom and I was getting very frustrated at not being able to shut the door behind me. That looks a very dreamy type of death to me.

[@lowlanderoutdoors4319]

Made the right call hazy, I attempted the trail a month ago and had to abandon it. The ridge is no joke in bad weather

No point forcing it if you just ain’t feeling it. Great camp and seeing the dolphins was sweet👌🏻. I camped there last year above the cliffs and at the exact same spot back in March this year. ATB 🙏🏻

Stunning keep it going fellow

[@HazeOutdoors]

Thank you 🙏

[@VeritySnatch]

Haze you need to get your wetsuit up to Shetland. get in the sea there. it will change your life. so will everything on land. theres only one big-ish hill, Ronas Hill, but the archaeology, sea cliffs and thick coating of wildlife more than makes up for it. all the whales, dolphins and fish. clear waters. cold though as the gulf stream doesnt quite get there. ferry from Aberdeen isnt expensive on foot at least.

[@lesa1378]

Aww never mind x hope you got back OK

Great hike/camp and video as always Hazy! You have a super attitude. So sorry about piss all over your van, it did make me laugh lol. I use a detergent bottle in my truck as it's more heavy duty. Sorry your hike didnt work as planned, but what an amazing place to camp and view of the ocean, dolphins, and sunset! What a blessing you could experience that. Thanks for sharing!🙂
