Seriously dude, I had a nervous breakdown 8 years ago, and developed crippling depression as a result. It cost me my job, my marriage (though I'm not really bothered by that because I got custody of my kids, and my ex-wife is a violent sociopath), my social life, everything I'd known, really. I turned to booze for a while, but it was messing with my head too much, so i stopped drinking and just withdrew into myself. Luckily my kids were teenagers and capable of looking after themselves for the two years I was really bad. I stopped watching TV back then, too, and started watching KZbin instead. I've always been outdoorsy, but I'd been forced to give it up after the breakdown, so i watched fishing, bushcraft, survival videos, and got my outdoor fix vicariously through you lot. It was exactly the tonic I needed. Three years ago I'd had a gutsfull of watching other people do it, and decided to go back to doing it myself. It wasn't easy to begin with, but it got easier the more i did it. I still have really bad days - when I can't even get out of bed, but I don't let it level me like i used to. And, after watching a few videos on here, I always get the urge back, which eventually forces me back out of the door. I want to say a huge thank you to you, Joey, MCQ, Joe Robinet, Carlisle 195 and many more, for helping me, and I'm sure many others, to get through the darkest parts of the tunnel. And I want to buy you a pint as an extra big thank you for addressing mens' mental health, and for the numerous belly laughs. You're right - not enough of us talk about it, which is daft, because if we'd damaged any other part of ourselves, we'd discuss it. Why not discuss damaged mental health, too? Stay safe, brother.

[@HazeOutdoors]

Fuck me mate that beautiful 😢. I’m so glad you’re in a better place mate. Very touching indeed and far more worthy of being the pinned comment that whatever I was saying. Much love brother 💚🖤

[@lewisraj]

Nice one pal

[@ArtistFormerlyKnownAsShitlord]

Haze Outdoors Nah. Your pinned comments always make me laugh, dude. Thanks, though. ❤️

[@MrLooj69]

Great to hear you are coming through the other side of a shite time buddy. Your story is eerily similar, minus relationship/kids as im single. Absolutely agree with watching KZbin channels that make you feel better and it sounds like we are subbed to the same folks. Keep ploughing on bud and ATB.

[@ArtistFormerlyKnownAsShitlord]

MrLooj69 Thanks very much, dude, and thank you Johnny, too. Very kind words from you both. Stay safe, gents.

[@HazeOutdoors]

Just a quick one to say thanks to everyone who commented on my recent video. I think people are dealing with this in vastly different ways, some people are loving it, some people are really struggling and everything in-between. I really hope people can find some peace in the sharing of other peoples stories and feelings. Take care mate. -Hazy

[@torlandonsteines]

Amazingly funny and Beautiful vid 👌 thanks mate, I could cry regarding my mental health in and around this lockdown if I dont keep a lid on it .. I'm the kinda guy who dosnt talk much but knows it's better to chat about your problems.. as always another great video👍who knows I might even give it a go making my own show us your steak video, take care mate and cheers

[@HazeOutdoors]

@@torlandonsteines it's good to talk mate and I'd for sure watch your SUYS video

[@cclemoyne4033]

The toughest parts have been that my back is out and I cant see anyone, like my osteopath to help. I don't like to be on painkillers, but have no choice right now. I'm a cyclist and have only been for about 5 rides in the last two months. Good points are that I stumbled across your channel and have been watching 2 or 3 vids of you and Mr Bramblehead doing your thing and it's been really good for me. Cheers mate, from Montreal. PS: I'm booked soon for a back treatment and will be able to ride and when the bans are lifted, go camping. Yes Virginia, there is a Rastaclause!

[@jacobesterline3891]

I initially started watching you for the camping and bushcraft content, but I’ve really become accustomed to your positive energy and loving nature. Every time I watch you, I always feel a lot happier and feel like spreading the love. I can’t wait for the podcast and future content from you. Hope you stay happy and stay well

[@countryside_guy]

Ditto, he could do knitting and it wouldn't matter because his personality is what I watch for 🙂

[@glencairnlairdof5832]

Hazey.i am 75 yrs old.fit healthy and ok.but have been through some tough times but luckily got through them talked to lots of people firm believer in P MA.get rid of all negative thoughts. You are one of the most thoughtful positive people I have ever come across.might see you on the coast one day.stay safe take care keep spreading the message.

[@HazeOutdoors]

Lovely message that mate. You take care you legend!

[@AndyWardle]

Brilliant mate. I’m in once I get my gear from my ex. 🤦‍♂️ it’s tits up at the minute. I know what you mean about the feelings changing from total loss and sadness. I lost my sister 14 years ago. She was 51. I’m 56 now. Devastating mate but it healed and you’re right she’s my hero. As will my brother be. He was my hero in life too. So double 👍 👍 I’m dealing and coping the lockdown isn’t bothering me tbh. Or is it? I’m old (ancient) enough to know I’m not going to crumble. It’s all going to be ok. And that goes for everything and everyone on these channels. I’ve been through some right crap in my life but I’m still here and I do smile still. As can everyone. It’s good to get it out there and KZbin and it’s community helps massively. Apart from the odd 🛎 end with 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 I laughed when you forgot the steak 🥩 I’ll find a way and get it done and share some thoughts. Thanks for thinking of me mate. It means a heck of a lot that. 👍 you take care. X

[@HazeOutdoors]

Ah mate, I’m sorry you’ve been through the mill of late. Please don’t feel any pressure to get a vid out (I should have thought about that). I sometimes feel like I’m spinning plates and I wouldn’t want to add another plate to your plate spinning routine (not quite sure where I was going with that). Be well mate 💪🏽💚

[@AndyWardle]

Haze Outdoors I’ll do it. As I think it’s a good idea and my subs deserve an explanation as to my latest vids. So it’s 👍 I think most people have been through mill at some point. I hate the mill. Now. Where’s my steak 🥩

[@drdeadbeat1604]

If Haze & Joey D started a podcast Joe Rogan would be FINISHED.

[@kerrymiles9966]

Refreshing to see encouragement towards men about being more open with their emotions.😊 My husband is ex parachute regiment and will always struggle to show his emotions, (not healthy) I think being in the forces Left him this way. But In all honesty, I too hold onto a lot of emotions, women can struggle also. Ps thank you for my patch & sticker which arrived safely 👍🏼

[@doingstuffoutdoors3002]

I'm not on KZbin but the last round of show us ya steak I did get out and chilled in the woods with a huge ribeye cooked over the coals and ya can't beat it for relaxation and clearing ya head..gonna do it this round as well.... Keep it up cos if you help just a few people that in my eyes is a huge achievement...👍👍...

[@grahamfarr4179]

I have suffered for a while, pre lockdown, and working from home staring at the same four walls for 2 months has really got to me. Knowing it is not just me helps more than you can imagine. I have also managed to find a new bit of woods that I had never visited before and the impact on my mood after getting out is huge. You, Simon abitw and Andy at KS are the only channels that I make sure I watch to the end. Thanks Hazey

[@mikebennett6713aceadventures]

Well done mate. It’s always great to see you. Love you being so real and sharing to help others. It truly shows what a great person you are. I know I appreciate the help. I don’t know how you do it but it’s easy to connect with you and feel that we have been friends forever. To have the ability to connect with others so easily is a genuine gift. Keep strong, keep your head high and remember we all love and care for you. See you soon. Can’t wait for the podcast.

[@davemorris72]

Hazy.... I lost my job in February and lost my brother in April have really bad depression and thoughts of suicide but have been sorting my garden out to cope ...stay safe mate all the best Dave 🙏

[@countryside_guy]

Love to you. It'll get better even though it doesn't feel like it right now 🙏

[@peterblazeby4783]

Glad you're ok, and you can keep your tent! Your channel is a breath of fresh air for me hazy,keep it up,and more importantly,KEEP THE FAITH!!!!

[@Paul_Turvey]

Hi Hazey I'm 56,missing the wildcamping like mad, I have enjoyed the slowdown in life since lockdown, not feeling like I have to be somewhere all the time, this has changed my outlook of life, some downs, more ups, you make me laugh, keep it up and keep it together👍

[@randyrc58]

You sir are an inspiration. You need to know that. Obviously I dont know you personally. But I feel that I know you. Thank you for being caring and concerned for people having a hard time. Love you buddy.

[@gabijones2445]

Brilliant video, as always. Love that you are giving people a structure for their videos, makes it a bit more doable. You lift us up Hazey, you make us laugh, you make us think, you encourage us to be better people, for ourselves and each other. Thank You.

[@rachfear2911]

Thankyou for talking about men’s mental health. It’s much needed in these trying times. My hubby’s best mate and work wife took his life last year, he did talk but didn’t get the professional help he needed at the time and the deeper he got the more he drank until there was no way out. Left a wife and 3 little boys behind at 32 yrs old. More people like you need to grace this planet. Top bloke

[@HazeOutdoors]

Damn! That’s a tough one.

[@MrLooj69]

Always, always appreciate you chatting about this subject. Qualifications have there place if it's your career but I much prefer chatting to other sufferers. Those are the people who understand the most, having gone through the ringer themselves. People who haven't suffered just don't get it, especially as it's an invisible illness. Keep up the good work mate, many of us find it extremely helpful! ATB

[@countryside_guy]

I've found those that have been affected some way aren't the ones to talk to, at least that's what they've told me. They tell me to speak to a professional, I disagree, they're paid to 'understand' which just isn't the same. Then there's the ones in their perfect bubble that have had a straight run at life and haven't got a clue about any struggles, they shut down or say speak to Mind etc. I have absolutely nobody to talk to other than social media which isn't that helpful to me. I have zero friends and my family is no help, my mum died in 2003, she was my everything and I could talk to her no problem, I hate being so alone in the world, I can see me choosing to exit it at some point soon. Its like life just won't give me a chance and I don't understand why, I did nothing wrong, I just want a friend and a little happiness, someone to talk to and enjoy things with, it's been SO long!

[@rayturvey7967]

I had a bad week last week. I got so fed up with all this mayhem. It got so much, I just wanted to go to bed and not get up again till all ended. I started to question what is the point of it all? How do I keep motivated? keep fit and healthy, for when I can get out in the great outdoors and do the things I love? When will that be? next month? next year? who knows. I`m almost 70 yrs old I won't have too many summers to enjoy my walking adventures. This week has been much better, I`m getting out again and walking and enjoying it, watching your vids lifts me and makes me smile. So much wisdom, so much love. You're, lucky you have family and friends to keep you sane, I don`t have anyone close I can turn to. I have to deal with it all on my own which I have done for years, I manage, I get by.

[@rickmellor1076]

Love seeing you've uploaded a new vid!!! As always.... thank you. A testing time for most of us. Thanks for showing it's ok to have emotions. Peace. 🙏

[@brendansmith8319]

As always, great stuff! This lockdown (here in Texas, USA) has been hard for me (age 56) and my wife as we can't see our grown kids who live across the US and my dad who is close to us but much older and has had a lung disease. Thankfully we're all well! We've gotten through the lockdown by gardening and cooking great dinners! I'm looking forward to helping my dad in his garden and visiting with our son and his wife and attending my daughter's wedding in November!!

[@PaulMessner]

Why am I not surprised. Only Hazo can do a show us your f@@k all challenge and get away with it. Glad to see you in the wood though mate. I think this lock down is shafting us all a bit. Keep it up bro...just tried the press ups but my arms aren’t long enough. Toad gut gets in the way 😂

[@HazeOutdoors]

Hahah show us the fuck all challenge has a nice ring to it 😂. Take care mate

[@natureisallpowerful]

I didn't comment on this at the time,because a lot of people including you said a lit of stuff I was feeling. However over the last 5 years,but definitely the last 2 ,the blinkers came off for me and I seen reality and life like never before and the truth was revealed, materialistic stuff, popularity, wealth, all surface stuff means nothing unless you're in tune with yourself, you're values,beliefs, happiness,sadness,joy ,anger. Real stuff. I've got nothing but I'm wealthy inside. So yeah thanks mate,I'm an Addict in recovery who is helped by nature and the outdoors to recover and see the real beauty in life. So thanks for opening up it encourages other people to do it.respect hazeo 👍

[@adamlewis1811]

Cheers Haze. mental health is important and over looked by many who think they are coping, but aren't always. thanks for inspiring conversations amongst the men in my family.

[@michaelblack9813]

Hi Hazey, Just started subscribing to your channel. I have just completed a mental awareness course along with distance learning and have become a member of the mental health first aiders team. Can I just say that your material as well as your superb delivery,enthusiasm and fantastic knowledge is just brilliantly inspiring. Keep up all the good work on this most important topic of mental health. Cheers and ATB M8. Mick😊👊👍

[@AlvaKelly]

That bit with the the birch tree stump was hilarious ! "What you lookin' at? Wha' ever ... BAFF ! I've been training in the lockdown :P" LOL !!!

[@cjhobbyfly8597]

Another cracking video Haze... my own troubles have come and gone for 20 years... i have suffered from PTSD from an incident in 1999 where, to cut a long story short, I was locked up in a pub cellar and tortured.... four years later I thought i'd cracked life, proposed to the woman of my dreams and she ripped my heart out by telling me she had been sleeping with half the town while I was grafting 60 hours a week... next relationship ended in 2011 when my partner ( who was three months pregnant at the time ) was hit and killed by a drug driver... its only recently I have become attracted to another woman, I truly thought those days were past. Sadly she doesn't feel the same way, which to complicate matters she is my boss at work, a job I love but I work with absolute twats who make my life hell. But right now i'm actually enjoying being on furlough from work, i'm away from all the toxic people in my life and start a new job in October, so i'm hoping this lasts until then. Plus i'm doing something good for the soul by volunteering for the NHS, a mate of mine told me his wife had to sit with people who were beyond all hope and were going to die without their family being with them, and that I thought would be awful. So I requested to do end of life care specifically the part where I comfort those who can't be helped, not only for those poor people, the families too to know their loved ones aren't dying alone and are looked after right through, plus so a fully qualified nurse isn't being wasted. Its as tough as I thought it would be, brutal in fact because i'm worried about what to tell the families, but those who are dying, and the (up to now) thirteen I have sat with are dying of exhaustion and various organ failure, some are quicker than others but all are lacking oxygen to the brain so its a quiet and peaceful passing. Despite it being awful I take a great sense of pride doing it, no matter what the gits I work with put me through, doing things like this makes me feel better. Does that make sense.

[@AdventuringWithMark.]

Cheers mate needed this plus comments , work in a hospice plus on top of everything lockdown and having to stay in the house and can never find the words to speak how I feel so it’s good to read and remember your not the only one!

[@jonnyb.484]

Great vid mate. I'm new to your channel but have found you through following Mike at TA outdoors. The first vid I saw was the dandelion one where you were speaking about the troubles with lockdown and stuff that you had. I found that very honest and it touched me because my mind has been all over the place the same as you and many others I'm sure. I tend to stop at look at the world around me and very soon realise that even though I feel like shit, my life is in all honesty is not too bad. I think as you say you just need to reconnect with what makes you happy and try to get rid of negativity. Keep doing what you do because it truly does help. Cheers buddy.

[@HazeOutdoors]

Thanks for the message mate! Very much appreciated! Mike is a solid dude!

[@AzrallDRG]

Mental health shouldn't be a stigma, I hate that it is. I've been suffering from depression for several years now and this lock down certainly isn't helping. I'm struggling with work at the moment and I hate being suck behind my own home desk for over 9 hours a day. I just want to get outside. I'm so pleased I've discovered bushcraft and more importantly, your channel. I love your videos, your energy keeps me smiling and reminds me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I'd love to raise a glass with you, given the chance. Stay safe mate.

More spit, More spit! Holes! I love the words you use when you're Bushcrafting dear Sir Hazey! And I swear, you made me cry again, my heart just swells with the passion and compassion you have in that beautiful soul of yours!!! Mental health is an issue that for so many is not spoken about enough and the fact that you forgot your steak n fire ... Sir Hazey... couldn't make this video more amazing! Because as you do in all of your videos, you have gotten to each and every one of 'us', and reminded 'us' that we all need to be touched, rubbed, spit on by another human, especially in times like this. 6 feet social distance I say bullshitalisc! A steak would have been lovely, but watching you make fire today.... ahhhhh..... Heaven!!! I miss Joey D and can't wait to see you both together again soon! Much Love n Light and a lot of spit from Sunny So. Cal!!! Mary

[@grahamjenkinson3487]

I would like to thank you for creating another video on mens mental health ! as a person who has worked in the mental health system for 20 years and have sufferd with mental health myself it is certainly the time the message got out there and the stigma was removed ! nobody is safe from this illness and there is a lot of misunderstanding surrounding the illness - if anyone is struggling at present I would suggest checking out the Hearing Voices network and Peter Bullimore on youtube excellent sources of help with mental health issues ! so thank you Haze once again for bringing this issue out of the darkness and into the light ! regards Graham

[@TheGazzzman]

Well done Hazeo. Glad to hear you're doing better and absolutely made up for you that you got to see your daughter. Can't wait for the podcast mate, it'll make it on my regular podcast playlist alongside the Joe Rogan Experience. Take care mate.

bro you have touched on so much in this video its fkin insane , iv have spiralled out of control over the last 3 months , i am my self autistic and i have ADHD so i feel your pain this BS flue upgrade has fkd everything up i started my channel 2 months before covid and iv not done a vlog since its started , i just cant find the energy or motivation to do one i just feel so lost and my hole few on life has changed so much , i have no joy for life any more or want to even be around , the only reason i stay is my little girl , you said something about the goodness in humanity makes you cry and it dose for me too bro but i think its because this world is hell so when we see a good thing we cant control our self's because it is so rare , for many years iv have been under the mind set of be the change you want to see but even that dont work iv been the change i want to see most my life and it gets me into trouble and i get called names like fruit loop or nut job just for wanting change in the world and even the government know people like me as terrorists because we dont agree with the shit the governments do to people in other places in the world , went way off in this but still i hope you get my point lol we all need to come together in times like this NOT stay far apart its almost as bad as saying a mask will keep you safe from covid but what it actually dose is turn your body into an incubation tank for the virus ; the mentality of the rich and powerful i guess ,,, never change you pal your a good one and never apologise for info you give as not many of us know it so its so valuable to people they need to hear it , your vlogs are packed with info and you are funny with it to witch is even better so keep them coming bro

[@ccoleby88]

Yes haze! Another belter we need them candle lights out there at the moment. Keep it up mate much appreciated!

[@RaindanceBushcraft]

Thanks for doing this vid, buddy. Just last week, I put out a video about why I couldn't do a steak video during the last challenge and talking a bit about my struggles right now. I have received a tonne of responses form people suggesting me steak videos that honestly never showed up on my feed last time around. One of those notes is why I even know you'd done a lockdown edition. Also, I used to co-host a science podcast called Yet Another Science Show. I am definitely starting an outdoorsy podcast at some point in the near to mid future.

[@patriciagates9115]

Hey guys! Make certain to have your ladies take a look at the Show Your Steak Challenges. Men do not always speak to women as they do with only the boys, so some gals may be living in a state of ignorance regarding men's mental health. Thanks to all the participants for bringing light to a topic too many overlook. As a wife and helpmate, it is vital that I do not take for granted the strong shoulder that is always there for me. Our family unity and trust depends on being understanding and aware of triggers( I dislike that word) that can lead to imbalanced chemical reactions in our bodies. Being loving and kind, even while I may be struggling as well, promotes positive chemical responses within our brains. I may not be able to completely alleviate the cloud my man is under but I can contribute by not making it worse. Remember that when your man is blue, a variety of yellow positivity makes his path to recovery far more green. When freely offered, emotional support and love are priceless. Ladies, don't let it go to waste, they need it as much as you. Men and women are not programmed the same, regardless of what feminism writes. Our every idea or action can't always include the other. Sometimes self reflective space is needed in order to combat an issue. Be supportive of this request, while preparing a place of peace for them to return to. It may require taking on some extra weight in order to relieve his burden until he rebounds, but in that you will become stronger as a couple. My love and hope is sent out on the ether to those who are having difficulty.

[@poplok22]

Thank you for this Haze Outdoors. You really are the most entertaining and inspiring person that I have ever known. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that you have saved lives. I salute you and you have my upmost respect.

[@TjDjTosh]

Hope you find that middle ground hazey you are always in my thoughts and your videos always make me happy

[@HazeOutdoors]

Thanks mate 😃

[@iantowers6972]

[@derektrotter4287]

At this time of day..... you savage😂👍

[@HazeOutdoors]

We’re all savages round these parts mate 💪🏽

[@vicentesimoes2468]

Hard times here too my friend! So much in common to what was said. Not able to speak much nowadays. Wish you the very best, Godspeed💚💚💚

[@alexpage7292]

I’ve done all the things you mentioned there Haze, I stepped back from all the negativity online. It’s lethal for bringing you down really fast. I really respect your honesty pal, just a normal bloke saying how he feels. Drugs are such a slippery slope, they feel great until the next day and a few days after that. Keep on the straight and narrow mate. Lots of love 👊🏻

[@dagobaphotography924]

Another great Video Hazy. Interestingly I run a small WhatsApp group for people who love music where we contribute 3 tracks per week on a theme of a choosing, which then I throw into a Spotify playlist, 408 tracks so far . And on the back of your ‘show is your steak’ challenge last year, I ran a men’s mental health music theme, 3 songs that are from musicians with mental health or written about it or have helped us through difficult times. It was such a good theme, loads of interesting songs and story’s came through. So thanks for inspiring me and inturn others from bushcraft to music. Great!

[@jnicholl8596]

Day made sir 👌👌 brilliant video as always! I've struggled myself but life goes on as they say . Thanks hazy your good lad !!

[@HazeOutdoors]

Life must go on with you feeling good mate. 💪🏽

[@Brad-99]

Thank you haze 🙏 For your videos and your sincerity on mental health topic 👌 Suffering w ptsd is a bitch in these times. Meditation is key for me and I would recommend it to all those struggling aswell as getting outdoors . Dunk your junk !!! You'll feel better 😁 ☮️

[@JasonMcCann841]

Atta boy Hazy! Everyone has been dealing with this in different ways. Ups and downs are truly a part of social isolation. I like your comment about the good aspects of all of this. My special time around the dinner table with my wife and kids has been a true blessing of all this shit. The fresh air and exercise is very important to me. Keeps the head clear. Sending best wishes from Newfoundland Canada! Cheers brother.

[@360OutdoorAdventures]

Good call buddy especially with these crazy times. With you there it's a really important subject. Keep safe mate and enjoy 👍👍My main focus when I set my channel up was to overcome anxiety after a mental breakdown 🌈🌈

[@HazeOutdoors]

I hope it’s helped mate. Take care 💚

[@360OutdoorAdventures]

@@HazeOutdoors Mate you are a legend you have done another great thing. Yeah, buddy, my channel has helped me loads, initially, it took me out my comfort zone which is what I wanted. It's thought me that I can control anxiety and it not control me. I did a show me your steak vid last year and it set me back a bit but nothing major. I have loads of empathy for people who suffer or have suffered from mental health. For the last couple of years me and the Mrs have taken part in the North East skinny dip up in Northumberland. It's a mint experience a right laugh, all for the charity Mind. Everything you said in this video is true and everything you said to do so it changes the balance is bang on buddy and definitely helps. Sorry to bleat on mate. Thanks for sharing this video and thanks for replying buddy it's much appreciated take care mate 👍👍☮☮

The Chimp Paradox is one of the best self help books I’ve listened. Remember to exercise your chimp!

what a Leg End cheers mate

[@rjt1201]

Namaste-alert ⚠️ so proud of you for recognising old habits and pulling yourself through this one, you have no idea the positive impact you have on your followers, big love beautiful 💚

[@HazeOutdoors]

Namastealert! I’m changing it to that you genius! 😂🖤💚

[@LancashireLad1980.]

well Hazey this is one i can do, as a chef the lock down has me at a loss , Just the sheer lack of routine i'm facing so i've turned to housework to create one, seriously its like a military operation for me every time i tidy the house it has to be done a certain way , feed the chickens , sweep the floors dress the little girl, then and only then do i get my morning coffee, then its onto a bit of d.i.y i've put off due to the hours i normally work and i'm in the midst of a few restoration projects. I've also got back to doing one of my favorite hobbies and that's bush craft and foraging, just to be amongst nature with the birds song and the thrash of new leaf growth rustling in the wind, so many new species of plants coming up in the hedgerows and learning there uses. Making dandelion flower tea and just sat drinking taking it all in, Now like you say i'm not one for chatting about my emotions even my wife says i'm a emotionally void because i find it hard to explain, i like to keep it to myself until it makes sense to me and then maybe i can explain it to them but nine times out of ten i wont, I get anxious in large crowds so Christmas shopping is lethal for me, Even supermarkets are sometimes a push, i'm on insta as i don't have the gear to make videos so i can film on my Phone and tag you there, take it easy chief .

[@GarybT6]

Absolute ledgebag 😂🙌🏼

[@eddybooth1]

No fire , no steak , what are you like Hazy… once again made me spit my wine. Keep making me laugh fella your the best.

[@ANTHONY_ROWE_L.R.P.S]

Nice one Hazy, stay strong, Thanks for the stickers, got them today. Stay safe. "See you in the Hills"

[@iainbayes]

That Zangief on your fizzog is coming on a treat bud 👍 got myself tested and a week off work to spend with my other half 😊 hadn't seen her since February due to Corona. Your vids have been a blessing to us both, keep safe bud and thanks

[@HazeOutdoors]

Absolute joy mate! I know how you feel!

[@garyoutwright5684]

And every minute after I nearly cried 😢 such a nice guy and so much love ❤️

[@KINGKONG-jc7xh]

Best thing about it for was coming across your videos fella,wtf have I been missing out on all these years.

[@FRESHNESSSSSS]

That's not a pressup Hazey! All the best mate

[@tunicoutdoors8768]

I'm so glad I stumbled across this channel, I have struggled with keeping my emotions bottled up, from insecurity, self loathing, lack of confidence etc, my wife fucked me over by having an affair for years and I knew about it!? I was so weak that I tried to rescue the marriage for the sake of my son, I was fighting a losing battle and it nearly finished me.. I have custody of my son now and spend as much time as I can with him out in the wild, as we both share a passion for the outdoors 🏕🏞 its therapy and you can physically feel it revitalize your mind, body and soul 💚💚 Thank you Haze Outdoors for sharing your thoughts and experiences, you don't know how much it means 🙏✌💚

[@adamwilliams8039]

My dad's been going downhill fast recently, mother struggling to cope. We're having to help him to do a lot of things. Over the last couple of days all the bed decisions in my past, and all the time I've wasted has been weighing heavily on me and it's been the closest I've ever gotten to not being able to drag myself out of the mental hole I was in. I've managed to get out and do some fishing today, and that's really saved me. Tendinitis is hopefully FINALLY gone too so I can get some more exercise in. Hope everyone's keeping it together down here.

[@HazeOutdoors]

Glad things are on the up brother! Take it easy

[@IrelandRider]

You probably won't see this post and that's ok, but I just wanted to thank you for your channel, I've tried to get over my depression for such a long time it's painful tbh. But watching your videos and appreciating your honesty, I actually bought myself a few bits for camping, I've only used them twice in my family's garden, but it's a huge step for me as I suffer with agoraphobia and depression, I've not been in work for a long time, but I can now, with a lot of sickness and forcing myself to do it, go for a walk on my own, I also watched a video you posted on my 50th, which was the mushroom samosas, or was it Packoras? I forget as I write this, I just wanted to say keep them videos coming, it's helping me so so much, thanks haze. Great job, love your food cook vids too. Additionally, I don't know how you are able to swim when so cold, I bet it feels great once dry and warm again. Thanks for contributing to my mental health for the right reasons 👍

[@fungusdread1940]

Got my patches and note in the post Hazy, Many Thanks Dude :D Ironed it onto the back pocket on my work trousers to give the Gals something to look at ;)

[@lewisraj]
