SOLO Mountain Camping in a RAIN STORM | My tent was tested to the LIMIT

[@Sakura-Insatsu]

The black dog has been by my side most my life, sometimes next to me, sometimes running ahead in the distance, but he was always there. Watching your videos inspired me to go for a walk. Baby steps to start with, do to having an physical disability. Just short walks along the beach early in the mornings, finding a quiet spot at the most easterly point in the UK to sit and meditate and watch the sunrise. After a couple of weeks I realised the little black dog was, for the first time in 30yrs, behind me. Still near, but behind me and I a new sense of calm within me. This gave the confidence to go out of my comfort zone and hike part of the Angles Way, followed by a trip to Robin Hood's Bay where I hiked from Scarborough to the Bay, then from the Bay to Whitby and back again. Upon returning home I was dog free!. Walking, along with meditation has given me a new outlook on life and a sense of freedom. My physical disability and mental health issues used to leave me feeling full of despair with no way out of the darkness, but thanks to you I've found a way of banishing the negative thoughts, leaving darkness and an ability to see the positives and light by achieving things I thought I couldn't physically do or mentally handle. Thanks so much Hazy for the inspirational videos and for being such an open, honest, down to earth & encouraging human.

[@frogscotch19]

Have you read the book by Ian McEwan called Black Dogs… it’s a wee bit supernatural…

[@philodowd8080]

Thank You I will try and start with short walks

[@wasmithwasmith]

Nice one, hope u are feeling well👍

[@theondebray]

Interesting. That's why I have always loved the outdoors. For me, depression was like going out for a walk, on, say, featureless Dartmoor, on a nice sunny morning, but I didn't bring any gear with me, cos I thought it would be fine. Then it starts to cloud over, then I realise I have strayed off the path, but I haven't got a compass or a map. I have my old mobile fone with me, but no matter, the battery is very low, in any case, there's no reception around here. So I walk towards a distant Tor, before the mist closes in, but the mist surrounds me first. I can only see the uneven boggy ground around me for about 10 yards in all directions, yet I think I can see the faint outline of a black dog, just out of calling distance... Maybe he could guide me to safety, but as soon as I move towards him, he disappears into the mist. Its getting cold, starting to spit with rain, and I don't have a jacket, so I must find some sort of cover. Its unlikely anyone will come looking for me, as I didn't tell anyone where I was going... And now its getting dark.... So you see how mountaineering fits in with my (our?) psychology, why I always go prepared, and I've been to some magnificent wild places, met wonderful people, all of which made me forget depression. I still take the black dog for a walk now & again, but its on a lead with a muzzle now. 👍

[@ChristineBinns-z8h]

Dont waist our view time boring do one ppl got brill videos we wasting time on you go away anyone find a camp there motivate yourself

[@chrishatton1176]

For future reference, it's a good idea to unbuckle your backpack waist strap and loosen the shoulder cinch straps a bit when crossing a dangerous river or creek, because if you do get swept down stream you can get yourself free from the pack instead of having that extra weight pulling you down in the water.

[@boyzinthewood1]

Also wear it on your front. If you hit your head and get knocked out there's more chance the bag will keep you face up.

[@lidewijvos]

​@boyzinthewood1 how would you be able to see anything then?

[@andybrockbank3027]

A valid point. I was thinking that as he ventured into the fray. No need to wear pack on front. Just be prepared to roll on your back as you fall.

[@sawyerdave1]

River/water-crossing 101….not worth a lonely drowning for a video

[@boyzinthewood1]

@lidewijvos It's just a known survival tip. I didn't create it or anything. But I assume that most people wouldn't even attempt to cross a fast flowing river with a bergen. I'd imagine that most who would try it would most likely have a smaller bag.

[@simongibson6228]

The mental strength required to achieve what you did is massive!.. I served in Iraq (UK Army), basically been sitting on my arse since, you're an inspiration to kick it & get a life again. Huge respect & as soon as I've finished this comment, I'm subscribing.

[@alancoates8710]

WOW! Mate, that was the best vid you've put out on all sorts of levels 😢😂 I've been struggling with mental health issues mi'sen since Iraq and Afghanistan as a veteran, but getting off my arse and getting out there has helped me immeasurably. I really appreciate your candour and openness. Keep on kicking your own arse! I'm 68 years old now and I'm going camping on the Yorkshire Moors next week - whatever the weather😂.

[@rockstarJDP]

Nail on the head Hazey, this vid got me out of bed - i didn't achieve anything but I still got up. Trouble is often times people unafflicted don't realise that just having a shower, brushing your teeth and having a shave, clean kit on is an accomplishment in itself for people like us. Many a time I've gotten to my car and not been able to turn the ignition and decided no, tomorrow and gone back to the four walls because it feels safer there, but then you're cemented with your thoughts. We're lucky to have you mate cause your wisdom shows us we can get back out even when that heavy old bastard is sitting on our shoulders. Hope your noggin is in a better space and thank you for keeping us going ❤

[@sicr7373]

Bless you mate, I know exacatly how you feel, you're a stranger to me but I wish you the very best going forward!

I find this time of year can be the worst, cus it's been a few months of no sun and grey skies. Come on spring, bloody spring ! PMA is easier said than done some days. I find avoiding TV news helps ! All the best to ya. Never give up.. 😔

That was epic, despite the elements you did amazing footage..felt like I were there! Well done for not dropping us in the drink as you crossed!! 😂

[@CazTali]

@@HazeOutdoors it's an epic quote I think - it's exactly what getting out in the elements when you're down in the dumps is all about. helps you appreciate the simple things again. I'm keeping this quote in my head for when I'm struggling to get outside.

You’re the guy who I admire most when it comes to addressing and talking to the Black Dog. Thanks for all you do ❤

[@turdwarbler]

35:55 Hi, I am a white water kayak coach and wild camper and I echo what others have said. You were pretty silly to film while crossing and you were lucky when you did fall. 1) Be very careful in water flowing that fast when its over calf height. 2) Stop bloody filming 3) face upstream legs placed well apart 4) Use a walking pole or sturdy stick to form a tripod, with the stick upstream and lean on it, this gives you firm base to move across the river 5) shuffle your way across, you dont want a foot slipping into a hole and getting a foot entrapment, then you really will be in trouble 6) Undo the bloody rucksack, never cross water like that with a fullly loaded rucksack fastened up, it will kill you if you fall. Apart from that looks like you had a great time. Sometimes useful to take spare socks, thermals so at least the base layer starts dry.

[@HazeOutdoors]

👍

[@sam18a]

Young sir, brutal honesty without needless dramatisation again. Years of sharing a plethora of entertaining and educational content while also sharing extreme highs and lows of mental fortitude. You should be forever proud of what you have given to so many for so long and i hope you continue for as long as it pleases you. Dig deep and keep your head up Brother, God bless 🙏

Dude, thank you so much for this video, your honesty about the "black dog" is like an absolute search lantern to my soul, I absolutely love the fells and getting out walking, but haven't been out much the last 18 months, and I then give myself a hard time mentally about not going out, which just exacerbates things, but hearing you say you have the same struggles is a real soul mender for me, so brother, thank you for your honesty and keep the videos coming.

[@PaulWinters328]

Wow that was scary! But loved seeing how happy you was after it. Just remember when your mind wants you to stay at home.. you have people who genuinely love watching your videos.

[@fishman1955]

You have to love the North of England. I used to camp in the Lake District for days at a time in the 70s when I lived in Wigan and we wore the wet clothes till they dried, but it wasn't too bad coz they were wool, but they were bloody itchy wool for some reason and the tents were that heavy we had to split the load. One guy had the inner and pegs and the other bloke had the fly and poles. Miserable conditions but great memories. Thank you for a great trip!

[@SteRumbelow]

On behalf of all your subscribers, we bloody love you, Haze. ❤

[@branagan1985]

This is one of those moments where when you're struggling to get out of the house just remember how you pulled through to get into those soaked clothes...getting out of the house should just be a little easier when you remember that moment.

It wasn't a chance to encounter meeting you today at Derwent Dam! It was almost spiritual pal, because I have been having a real bad time this last 10 month I won't bore you with the details but the conversation Mrs Mole and myself had was about how you said if Life's kicking your arse, kick your own and I was telling her about your video and Life is too short and then who bloody walks around the corner, but you and Fern and the Doggo! Gave me a shock to start with because it was surreal, but it gave me a real boost and the photographs Fern took you can see in my face that for those few minutes (didn't want to start waffling on and left you to your walk) but that's the first genuine smile I have had for sometime! Good to meet you both and the dog and I hope you enjoyed your walk! Thanks for making my day. Urban Angler ❤

This is such a moving vlog - I watched it yesterday and it hasn't left me for a moment. We don't know whether your situation has come about from a particular event/episode/relationship, or whether you are just prone to being accompanied by that black dog from time to time in your life, but sharing this video shows so much about your grit and mettle. Like you, I'm a firm believer in giving yourself a kick up the arse: help starts at home. But equally, that's not where it ends, and if a self-administered kick doesn't crack it, then that's not 'another failure' to add to the load, it just means it's time to speak to someone else in confidence. Maybe a friend; maybe a professional. Because if you can go through that environment and make this video, you can sure as hell chat whatever this is through with someone. All the very best!
