Finding your glasses made it 10🍺🍄

[@jimbain1956]

Happy birthday mate

[@onemanandhiscow]

Trust me man. As a raging hippie, never feel guilty for finding a moment separate from the what we’ve been seeing to…especially if it makes us feel at peace and still in the now. Screw the “what they think if hear this” just be you and enjoy that now. You’re more of an inspiration than you know, and from my part thank you for giving me the drive to step out of my head and enjoy some great times camping. Keeping plodding dude, you’re a gooden 🙏🏻✨

[@Sonny_j4p]

I absolutely love this guys transparency. If you're feeling low, aim high into the mountains and nature will do the rest.

[@TheMarchingOnion]

Lying in my hospital bed crying along with you. You’re an inspiration for all us with muddled noodles. Never apologise Hazey, it’s why we love you ❤

[@HazeOutdoors]

MEDIC! Hope you’re ok mate 👊

[@TheMarchingOnion]

😂 I’ll be fine. Even better now I got my very own honourable medic ☺️

[@davidpilsworth1254]

Well said. People criticise 7:14 because they are not aware

[@stucook8622]

I hope you feel better soon🍺

[@edtheroverman]

Great episode as usual Paul. A quick suggestion for your hands. Immerse them in ice water for about 5 minutes every day, starting with a minute, and I guarantee they won't stay cold for long after swimming. I used to get white finger after my ice bath but don't anymore. It works. Feet as well.

[@lesleyhogg2495]

I'm a 56 year old woman who's seen and felt a lot of life, I'm certain there's still more learning, pain and love to come. You touched me quite unexpectedly when you sat afyer your first dip. A friend once told me many years ago when I was deep in grief that 'Everything passes. The good passes and the bad passes'. It's just knowing to take one day/step at a time and expect no miracles of yourself. Be strong if you feel like it and be vulnerable if you're feeling it. Much love to you. xx

[@angelabrown6100]

That bog is a metaphor for dealing with mental health, you fall in it, struggle to get out and then do it all again knowing full well what will happen until you realise you don't have to stay on the same path, the struggle is real 😊

[@alanarchibald9391]

I was a man of the great outdoors mate, stayed in a tent for 8 months in the west Highlands of Scotland when I was younger, loved my fishing etc then boom! Blood cancer in the spine took my mobility and that's where you come in my friend! We all get mixed up in the nut but we're all still getting on. So head up and stride them hills for me and all your followers. You're a breath of fresh air brother. Big Love from Alka in Dalkeith ❤

[@corinnabearman5820]

For someone who suffers terribly with depression and anxiety, your honesty and openness is wonderful. I think we all put on that damn mask way too often just so we don’t upset others or put them in an awkward place because they don’t know how to deal with us when we are honest about how we feel. In my opinion I do this as it’s the easy option but at the end of the day it doesn’t help me pretending I’m someone I’m not. But since I have tried to be ‘me’, I’ve lost a lot of ‘friends’ and that hurts. I’m rambling but I totally understand you. You help others with your openness so thank you 🙏 x

[@James-wz2cm]

Never have to apologize for showing your real emotions, cause I've not been able to get out my head's all kinds of messed up and tryin to keep that fake smile up so people don't start asking about it is beginning to grate. I appreciate your channel not just for the views and walks but also your honesty ❤

[@JenniferMilverton-rv1hh]

A couple in our 70's, you had us sniffling a bit there. Never feel pressured by an obligation to produce the next video. Whenever you appear you bring humour, inspiration and honesty.

[@jamesleigh9651]

Mate showing your emotions send a powerful msg to anyone feeling the same. Never say sorry for being you! You're not alone you've got an army here behind you and I'm sure anyone of us would step up for you 👍❤️ as for the dive it's a solid 10/10 the pose was kept for the duration plus the hat and shades added style points 😂😂. You keep doing you brother, much love ⛺🥾❤️

[@MagWatchTime]

Hazy your a legend, you show to others me included to talk and share your feelings and just let go to someone, as you say find something that resets the mind like the outdoors. Sending big love to you mate , you don’t see us who watch but we are all here for you and anyone who wants to talk, perhaps there should be a walk & talk group to encourage people to get out and talk . 👊🏻

[@gillie-monger3394]

Hiking A-B is fine, but walking A - 'wherever' is so much more refreshing and rewarding. I feel so much better after a 'walkabout' than when I have to walk to a plan. There's an expectation when hiking a planned route and a certain feeling of failure if you don't "get the miles in". But 'walkabout' is a feeling of freedom and pitching when you feel like it. There's a better, closer connection to the world and nature when you simply take the time out to enjoy it. Keep on keeping on Hazey, you got this.

[@mr.shutterz5348]

Ffs - I’m sat here watching this taking so many deep breaths, as I know damn right I feel the exact same head issues recently, not recognising it kicked back in a few months ago. It’s a life long battle that I have been fairly good at keeping on top of by properly disconnecting and going out into nature like yourself. Can’t thank you enough for reminding me of the best way to work on it. What a lad! 👍

[@hairyswearymountainbiker3182]

Has to be one of the best quotes I have ever heard "sometimes you have to get lost just to find yourself" Keep well mate!

[@rocknrollramblers4051]

Hazy I can empathise with your struggle with the old noodle … I think the way you are so open and acknowledge when you feel like that is both refreshing and encouraging.. watching your videos certainly triggers me to deal with stuff so always know your certainly shedding light on a dark topic and making it less taboo … ps - the videos are fucking ace too and entertaining … keep up the good work champ x

[@peteswalk]

You are making a difference, you matter. I watched your C2C and it inspired me, I completed mine in June, you helped make it happen and I raised a decent amount for charity while doing, so you can know, that you made a difference! Thank you for doing what you do!

[@billyharden9316]

Your aloud to be overwhelmed mate.when I get out in nature it makes me feel real and what it’s all about, all your senses come to the top and burst out brilliant mate.👍🇬🇧💥

[@GillSmith-r3q]

The fact that you show your vulnerability is itself a strength, so you should feel real proud. I'm sure it will give strength to others who are feeling a bit lost. Just done 2 weeks of solo hiking and camping in Scotland.... its so good for the soul. Take care.

[@louisturner9767]

stay strong hazy i commented few month ago saying said i was struggling and you said keep going keep going mate we are all with you on this channel we are all like your friends but you just done know us :)

[@HazeOutdoors]

Thanks mate, it means a lot ❤️

[@dickiedavis5240]

I love you man. You are one of the most relatable people on KZbin. Never apologise. We love you for being honest, and for being you x

[@grahamthornton1683]

Never stop what you do. Your transparency of mental challenges are an absolute bar to achieve for all of us.

[@kingrafa3938]

Thanks for sharing Hazy! Just enjoy camping and hiking in the beautiful mother nature made by absent friend from above.

[@mmoon8499]

8/10 for the pose dive, 10/10 for the video and the honesty! If posting and ghosting is what works for you then that’s what works for your viewers too. Your health is most important. Thanks for taking us along for the ride when you do post; your videos are highly entertaining and very real.

[@Alex_Bradney]

Had the full range of emotions in this 1 mate. I was sat welling up with you after 8 minutes. Then, having a full-blown belly laugh 10 mins later. Thank you brother for the content much love 💚

[@timashcroft5343]

One of your best videos Hazey! So inspirational. So many people, including me, relate to the mental journeys you take us on. Love the idea of getting out, just to get out! With no time constraints or destination! Definitely will be doing some of that! Much love ❤️

[@ShamInScotland]

Never apologies. You have no idea how much support you give someone like me to do these things and to enjoy life and not thinking about the mental health issues and rage inside of me. Inspiration mate. Hope you are better and I know you are after this. Love!

[@andrewschofield7452]

Thanks for sharing Hazy, and letting people see the emotions. It helps us all to realise that everyone needs help, space or just some time away to themselves just to re-balance. Trying to re-balance myself as my Dad passed away recently and trying to deal with the emotions is hard, but nature, water and friends they help. Peace and love mate 🙏

[@HazeOutdoors]

Sorry for your loss mate ❤️

[@davidpilsworth1254]

Stay strong

[@kirstenjenkins3228]

I’m a girl watchin a fellas show…but you’re such an amazing guy getting the word out there to all those guys that should just reach out…you’re such an inspiration Hazzels😅

[@sherryhawkins285]

You are a sweet soul Haze! God bless you mate!❤️🙏⛺️🦞❤️

[@Caffeine_And_Seawater]

Mate, I didn’t know it until I watched it, but this video came at the right time. Keep doing what your doing when you fancy doing it. You are such a good ambassador for men’s mental health.

[@DartmoorPaul]

Ah, it’s been a while for me back watching you Hazy but instantly you bring a smile to my face and all is well in the world as I leave my present and enjoy the Lake District with you. You’re an inspiration and joy to follow and we love that you share all your emotions with us as it helps those of us with muddled noggins too 😊

[@neilgirling1798]

Absolutely thought this video was brill even with all the emotions, definitely a good 9/10 for the pose at the end , even the good lady laughed at you and shes never watched before and not sure what was going on, be strong and push thru as many said , An Inspiration to everyone 👍

[@kainelong8228]

I'm glad you share these emotions with us, we all have these moments and it takes a lot to show vulnerability like that. You're a legend man.

[@joeking2474]

I absolutely love haze videos they never disappoint, it’s something I find myself really looking forward to it’s made my Sunday❤

[@mrwes100]

Hazey, you've always been honest about mental health, specifically men's mental health. I appreciate you brother.

[@Bokooda]

You seem overwhelmed by the joy that you now have in your life. Drink it all in - ENJOY

[@SteRumbelow]

There’s huge strength in being as open as you are about your struggles and I think it’s appreciated by your audience. So many people have these internal struggles nowadays and never talk about them. Well done for leading the charge with being open about it all. As always, a fantastic video.

[@ArmstrongSurvival]

Wishing you nothing but the best. Don’t feel bad taking time away from all social media. We all need to now and then. Your mental health is more important than any video or social media post. I’m glad you’ve figured out how to get yourself through and out of those rough patches. Thanks for sharing and being so transparent and honest. Cheers Mate 🍻

[@markm3037]

haze your a legend pal and also an inspiration not just to myself but to those that watch your channel . just keep doing what your doing lad ☺

[@grumbleguff7376]

I had a similar issue with the burney Toaks handle. I got some 2mm silicone tube, put some washing up liquid in the silicone tube and slid it on to the handle and now I can pick up a hot pot without burning my fingers. Keep up the good work 😁

[@aaronkennedy7311]

You are brilliant mate, I suffer from the same cycle, but I always feel happier when I've watched your videos. You've inspired me to take up wild camping and I'm hooked, and your right it fixes the old noodle

[@4053rubber]

No apologies necessary. I enjoy your videos mate. And how down to earth you are. If it's two weeks or two months til you put another vid out it's no bother. Do what you feel is right and don't worry about what people think mate. Unless they're my nearest and dearest. Me and the missus both watch and enjoy your vids mate. Look after yourself and I'll be sure to have the courage to come say hello to you if I see you on my travels as we go to a lot of similar places.

[@SmurfOutdoors]

I really wanna go on a hike and camp with you. I love your videos. And seeing you tear up by being over whelmed by nature.. My man 🤌🍄

[@deanwild8364]

Another great video Paul and I'm glad that you're finding ways to slow that cycle. I've said it before as someone who works in mental health you're an inspiration to many. Including myself. Big applause for your authenticity and vulnerability. Bottom line is we all have mental health just as we have physical health and we have to find ways of looking after both. As much as I love your videos please don't feel the need to apologise when you have periods when you don't post much. Prioritise you're wellbeing. Much love and good luck with the upcoming walk.

[@johnnywade9865]

Dont let the channel pressure weigh on you, the true and loyal fans will stay as you fight your battle and we’re then rewarded by your content which is top notch, funny and helps out many many people facing similar struggles All the best mate ❤

[@thebirdlady4304]

Totally agree 👍 👏

[@adriannelson8905]

I have been watching your channel from the start. I have never commented before but felt the need to do so this time. There is nothing wrong with showing emotion mate. We all need to let it out sometimes. Just be yourself and do what you want to do. Thx for the videos. Nothing but love

[@VoxGothica]

That compass jellyfish was so cool! Great footage!

[@the_jon_with_no_h]

What a quality act you are Hazey. Best thing on KZbin. Keep moving forward. 👍

[@wharfedalewanderer2592]

Go on lad …… 10 Bet that stung Don’t ever apologise for showing your feelings and sharing This video made my day dude Thank you ❤

[@Jtw.Outdoors]

This has to be my favourite video to date Hazey. It had it all. Dramatic scenery, Raw emotion, Tom Daley’esque Dives, staring contests with the wildlife and of course a few medics. We love and adore the work and effort you put into videos mate. Don’t feel the need to throw out content just to keep us happy, we’ll love whatever you share wether it’s once a week or once in a month. I reckon I speak for the masses when I say we just want you to be happy and healthy in the mind. Thanks for being awesome man 🤙🏼

[@Zimmerframe-Tramper]

Thanks

[@HazeOutdoors]

That's very kind of you mate, thanks so much!

[@wanderingboy8271]

I’ll find that pool one day, was impressed the first time you found it, life is a journey.. not a destination. Keep on mate 🙌

[@machellelee2020]

Your doing what works for you. Your number one then family. Don't worry about what others think.

[@Tigger4747]

Excellent. You're really good at making brilliant films showing the immense scenery and how it feels to be teetering on the edge mentally but then clambering your way back, so it's really weird to see you being upset about silly people not giving you enough style points for falling into a pond. I'd be quite interested in your suggestion about your thoughts on self help etc, if you feeling like making a video about that, but I don't think you should be apologising for not making enough videos often enough. How *you* feel about making a video or not is the only thing that matters.

[@firemanmartin691]

Hazey showing you emotions on KZbin shows a powerful message love watching your video on KZbin I'm in redcar and done the walk from redcar to whitby I loved it I have ptsd and iv been down very down but watching your videos your ferry comical and Knowledgeable you will be so Surprised how many people you help with the video please keep them coming hopefully next time your in redcar give me a text I go for a pint or 3 with you lol stay safe and stay strong 💪

[@Manifestings]

Hiya Haze, fantastic you tube. It's always great to know my muddled noodle is amongst friends. Keep being real. The outdoors is a well kept secret but is the ANSWER to EVERYTHING. Watched the new MATRIX. There is a lot of truth to it but decide for yourself. I believe us outdoor people have escaped the "illusion" that we are TRAPPED in unrewarding jobs...We are as free as we choose to be. Outdoors is IT XXX

[@ericbonn1334]

You are doing what you need to and that is enough.

[@eline95]

Such an inspiration. Been struggling a bit lately, and feeling anxious about breaking down every now and again. But seeing you deal with it reminds me that it's okay to break down, and that I shouldn't be ashamed of it. And also that I should do something with the urge to get out of everything from time to time, as it's probably my mind telling me it needs that break. Thanks for being open. Your mindset is a lesson to others and don't feel pressured into uploading (more) regularly. Your wellbeing comes first!

[@jeffngill]

I see you come to life after the swim and it so makes me want to go and get wet. How many others are feeling like you are. Inspirational man.

[@HazeOutdoors]

It does wonders mate it really does

[@pauldavies1678]

10/10 for the dive & video. Keep being you upload when you enjoy because we all then enjoy it too, good luck with the walk, keep healthy ❤

[@jonhopkinson1570]

Peaks n troughs, happens to the best of us, hope you find a more level playing field soon. Great video as allways! (8.5 for effort, more if the shades had stayed on) 😎

[@seanmiller598]

We all need to find our pieace, and nature gives so much, it helps us releale old stuck emotion's

[@MisterChrisInTheUK]

So brilliant to see you sharing your real feelings mate. Your videos are a huge inspiration to so many of us. Keep on keeping on and please don't ever apologise for being who you are and feeling what you feel! This was a brilliant episode on so many levels! Thank you. Top man. (Good luck on the Lyke Wake. I did that when I was about 12 with my Dad and was almost sleep walking it by the end! :) )

[@helenstone9711]

Keep being you. Ive currently got covid. 3rd time in 16 months. Post 12 months of having our house reposessed. I have a fab job and wicked friends and a small but family. Look for the positives X

[@samborroff]

Great video. I love your style and your brutal honesty about managing your mental health. The great outdoors is such a great healer. Take care 😊

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Nice video Mr Haze 👍👍👍. YOU DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO, to settle your mind & fill your SOUL & HEART with WHAT you need. As sometimes I DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND, other people. Just need that ALONE TIME, to sort out life's issues & problems. Without wanting to end it all, or end up. Doing 15 years in the BIG House.

[@jamesdack2003]

I totally get everything you say about the old nogin mate, one minute your ok, the next you just feel like ya need to be away from everyone and everything... Its good to know im not alone...

[@kevinsabourn5522]

Sometimes it just takes a short while to gather your self without distraction to leave things that bothers you behind, very therapeutic, keep it up, enjoy, the moment, god bless.😊

[@johncotton7053]

Great video, Hazey. You, at your honest best. Superb camera work too. Thanks so much for taking us with you mate. May the light pierce those dark corners for you. That landscape you're in is ironically the perfect answer, not to mention, the perfect metaphor, for emotions and feelings, sometimes we're on the peaks and sometimes we're in the valleys. God bless you Hazey.

[@robynmarler1951]

Amen🕯

[@martinbennett9578]

Handled the bog situation really well Haze!

[@leedryden4502]

Just remember no matter what your health and wellbeing is priority. Love your videos

[@ashwoodoutdoors]

Hey mate I feel your pain. Got to say a shed a tear with ya mate. Keeps ya chin up lad. Keep doing what your doing you inspire me greatly. Much love 🙏

[@fleeinscotsminoutdoors663]

Hazey! You are an inspiration mate! The videos help alot of us more than you know, much appreciation pal and keep that chin up

[@AndyQuinton]

Don't stress about keeping up regular uploads. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I'm happy to see a new Hazey video no matter how long it's been since the last one.

[@jacquelinebell9186]

Ambling in your smugglers! Wading up t’waist 😮 nothing better! Cmon. ❤

[@BellaVista1470]

OMG Ive never seen someone so happy to fall into a bog that they do it again for demo purposes!! Love your gleeful sense of humour..........

[@Jonny-gg3be]

Pure... Thats what you give us Paul pureness and we all love you for it Buddy❤❤❤. Nothing gets me more than a cold dip and escaping the rush. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@emz_adventure]

Tip top video as per. Divent ever apologise for having a break for the owld nog in mr haze. Take it easy young fella and keep the faith 😊🎉🙏. We do !!! 9/10 for the side slap just cos no one is perfect and I'm not a brown noser 😂😮😊

[@deekelley891]

Don’t get burnt out. I’d rather wait and see you really enjoying yourself than just watching some guy doing what has become just a job. The absence of joy is always obvious. Glad you’re in a better head space and thanks again.

[@JonnyShire]

Thanks for being you Hazey. We're all here because we're a little Hazey too, sometimes.

[@Unionjackwilderness]

Hazey you are an inspiration to us all. Talking is the best way. The Mountains will do the rest. Keep moving forward.

[@richardgabriel9958]

I love the hippie Vibe being out in nature wild swimming finding wild free food, grounding yourself walking barefoot

[@outcast-man]

haze i totally understand it's a great thing to show your feelings im 55 and back in the day it was seen as weakness but now it's a strength love ya brother,,if your ever near Middlesbrough and an old guy just hugs you ,it's me 💞

[@deblordoutdoors5783]

Cracking video Paul. The perfect blend of adventure, humour, and vulnerability. Glad you you’ve got a way to get yourself on a level again. Keep on keeping on.

[@karlbratby4349]

Bless you, for the content and the honesty... I'm with you all the way to what this sort of experience does to the soul.

[@lynnnielsen]

As always, you're an inspiration. And that dive was a 12 out of 10!!!

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

Bless you Paul. Its good to get this stuff said, no matter who too. Love the cold water plunges, we do the same, it just so joyous. I go in ok and come out laughing. Keswick is my second home so appreciate the tranquility of the fells. Fantastic place to get lost in yourself. I also make youtube stuff but in my case its for me, if anyone else watches it thats a bonus, I used to worry about viewers but no more. Its great to watch back like a moving photo album. Anyway, film when you want, what you want, don't feel pressured. Hope life is good to you 3 amigo's. Take care Paul, love to Fern and Nimbus the wonderdog. xx 💚💛🧡❤

[@SuperCragster]

I know how you feel. I struggle a lot with depression and even getting out for an hour or 2 doing some cycling does me some good. It's amazing the power that moving your body in nature does to the soul.

[@SuperSpoggy]

I give a 9.8 for the leap and a 10.2 for the honest human emotion man. I guess we`re all in the wash, up and down, life comes in waves and it`s such a good thing to brave being vulnerable amongst others. You are genuinely responsible for giving many people not only a way to get out and reset the `noggin` but a real feeling that we`re not alone with our struggles. Leaps and bounds bro leaps and bounds. Been watchin your channel 8yrs I think now and it just gets better and better. Much love

[@marnieparney]

You made me cry and laugh before breakfast. 10/10 from this judge.

[@MrSealyp]

Crying with you, then laughing out loud with the bog and the diving. The revised dive went all the way to 11! Man I need to get back to The Lakes.

[@doctorm5516]

You're the best Hazey. Seeing that wee mountain trout sent you over the edge for a bit mate. Sneaky wee things. Famous for it.

[@Daydreameruk]

That’s slide, over and over. That’s two quality vlogs I’ve seen today. Well done for recognising a reset needing.

[@exploringww11northeastengl55]

Crackin video mate ,and never apologise for showing your feelings bonny lad were all one family on this channel kidda ....Leave nee trace man 💙

[@jonm4989]

Nice one Paul, I don’t know how you’d label your down periods but Churchill referred to his periods of depression as the ‘black dog’. What I do know is every time I read through the comments on your videos there’s an absolute mountain of goodwill behind you and I’d really hope that gives you support. Stay strong and keep up the good fight ❤

[@atrampinthehills.841]

Cool...Everytime we pass a plunge pool we think of you !!

[@cepsaa]

That slide was hilarious.

[@stevevano2840]
