My First Night Camping In The Sub Surface Bushcraft Shelter!

[@bkreep]

I really appreciate that you talk about mental health so much. And you're good at giving information in an accessible manner. I work in a healthcare facility where we deal a lot with people who suffer with various mental health issues, so I see it every day. I think it's important for people to know that the first step for someone is to be honest enough with themselves to admit that there's something wrong. That opens the door to accepting help. Love the videos and good luck!

I love your videos. Its good you mention mental health. I'm always at my best when I'm out in nature. Cognitive dissonance plays a big part in mental health issues. Nature calms the spirit.

You Sir, are an inspiration. A visit with Ma Nature is good for the soul. Wise words, thanks for that.

Cheers Cindy 👊

[@petersmith237]

Brother know what you are talking about, been combat stress intensive treatment program but I get more from being as close to nature as possible. You inspire me and after 8 years bedbound I have got out and have started getting ready for what's to come, watching you and remembering my Gaurds trn and getting out there. I WOULD rather watch 1 real adventure than 20 of the for show bushman. You keep moving forward and we will catch up when you get to another real trip. 💂😁👍💯

i find i put on a happy face because if i shared how i actually felt it would leave them speechless. it's better to put on a happy face so people don't ask and i will suffer in silence. a small amount of people have been hugely supportive and that's all you need. i suffer with borderline personality disorder and i have pushed a lot of people away too. i guess what i am trying to get across is so many people know where you are coming from. stay positive bro, you are hugely inspirational.

Hey mate, as a Veteran like yourself i couldnt agree more and nothing better than getting out into the woods. I go to Veterans retreat in the woods called Belisamas Veterans Retreat in between Preston and Blackburn where we sit around a fire, a few beers, cook a steak and chat Military stories then go to sleep under the Basha next to the River Ribble where there is canoes, wild swimming. I feel so energised after spending the weekend there. You are more than welcome as a Veteran if you ever want to come along for a wild camp and be around like minded people and chat etc. 💪🏼

Sounds really good for you mate I’m glad it’s helping bud !! For me personally o find being on my own helps more than being around others mate but I really really appreciate that dude 👊👊👊🔥

So true about “forest bathing”. It’s been scientifically proven that taking the time to take in the nature of the forest, the sounds and smells, is mentally and physically good for you, can help to reduce stress, blood pressure etc. Your vids always make me look forward to my next camping trip. Keep being awesome dude.

[@EastAnglianBushcraft]

Thanks so much mate !

Sun light fresh air and naturzl surroundings we are living beings ALSO rotting vegetation soil etc has bacteria and chemicals that fix your brain simply inhaling air in a wood is massively beneficial

The inside of that shelter looks amazing, so cosy! I have to say, this video and your words have come at the perfect time. My mental health has taken a tumble lately and it's started to become hard for me to see any of the positives in life (being stuck in the house with Covid for the last week hasn't helped). Listening to you has reminded me that this is temporary and I can do something about it. Thank you again for being so open and hope your own mental health keeps improving.

Thanks Rach as always and I’m really sorry to hear that! Ahh bloody covid get well soon ! 👊👊 thanks for the support too x

[@jeffclarkejnr]

Rach, Please remember you are not alone. Illness always makes us feel down but if I could pass on some advice……just go one more day before giving up. And then repeat the next day. Don’t let anyone or any thing ruin your peace of mind. Meditate, get out in nature, purposefully relax your tense muscles…….And breathe. Protect your peace. Put yourself FIRST 😁👍🏻🥂

[@rachpwanders6095]

Forget 5 guys, go to 1 bloke in a sub surface shelter in the woods for your burgers. I remember seeing a TV prog about settlers in the old US where they used a thin piece of wood as a window. To make it translucent they used animal grease or fat. Don't know if it was artistic license or real. Could be more more.friendly than plastic. Hope the clouds keep lifting Craig.
