Hi Andy. Great words mate and thank you for sharing. Having suffered depression myself and having a disabled child, this is the reason why I ride a motorcycle. It's my time and a release value. It's because of you, I've bought my 1st bug out bag and heading to the wood. Seen how much you enjoy it and thought "ill have some of that". Really enjoy your videos mate. Top bloke...

Great cause. It is important to raise awareness for mental issues. I can totally relate to all you've said in this video. In my case, until I was at the very end of my rope, I couldn't imagine that anybody would understand how I felt. But help is all around us, even if we don't see it. So don't be afraid to reach out to someone and speak.

First of all, congrats on the new haircut and the trim... Looking good brother! Secondly, thanks for sharing this video with us and sharing your feelings and trying to promote this important matter, it's never easy to talk about personal stuff, especially on such big platform. As an ex-military soldier and as a citizen these days, I live in the Middle-East and it's a difficult and tough here, growing up as a teenager and then the time served in the army and even now as an adult, these stuff keep piling up over time, and it's getting harder and harder to share with someone or even talk about it... Even after all these years, there's some shit I can't get over till this day or talk about. So thank you for sharing your story, or part of it anyway, it's a huge deal. I can relate to the nature stuff, I'm a closed person as well, I do try to connect with nature to keep my mind out of the every day tasks and routine, and do things which makes me happy... like bushcraft, camping, fishing. This is why I love to watch these channels, it makes me happy when I can't get outside. So thank you again for that! Respect and Salute mate.
@KentSurvival6 жыл бұрын
Hey, thank you very much indeed. I was dreading the talk but it actually felt good in the end and flowed out.. maybe because I was talking to a camera. I can only imagine how hard it is for somebody like yourself with those experiences.. we do just all have to find what works for us and hopefully have the support needed around us. I do love getting outside but I am now aware that sometimes by doing so I am avoiding things so as with everything.. balance. Thanks again for commenting and sharing, ATB - hope you're doing alright.

I have my faith, walk my dog 1/2 mile every evening and she expects 2 miles every weekend day. We spend our time in the local woods hiking and cooking, I have her and a great grown daughter to talk to. Even with all this sometimes I feel on the edge. I escape with you, Joe Robinet, Doug Outside, Shawn James and the faith based Bushcraft Barton’s. Foreign lands and different landscapes in England and Canada. Thanks again and Great Steak!
