Show us Your Steak Challenge (Original).

[@josephallen19]

You're a trip , dude. Hell, ya I'm in...just about to move, so, I'm afraid I'll need the full two weeks, but I'll get ya a video for sure. Good on ya, man, seriously.

[@HazeOutdoors]

Yes mate! You’re a star! Looking forward to seeing your effort dude. Thank you so much 😊

[@easylivinginmymind]

Yesss!!!

[@9012caz]

[@GaiasPupil]

Woot woot. Gonna drop one myself.

[@sheilapetermeier6969]

do it joe you know how to make a steak

[@TAOutdoors]

Yep I'm in... important topic hazey mate - That jumper tho...!!

[@HazeOutdoors]

I like to blend into my environment, just turns out my environment is a Timmy Mallet lookalike contest. But on the real mate thank you so much! I knew I could count on you xxx

[@NSYresearch]

I came across Haze via one of Mike's videos... So good to hear a proper Yorkshire accent again... Living dahn south it's rare to hear it...

[@hopea7300]

Show me the steak !!

[@RobertsBulgaria]

I hope you will remember to mention your comments in one of your videos telling us ''to Man Up'' when you had to carry a few kilos of wood burning stove?

[@paracop35]

Got challenged myself and got it done proper video just out hope you guys would check it out

[@HazeOutdoors]

Ey up you lovely lot, please could you go pester TAoutdoors, Carlisle195 and Joe Robinet to show us their steak? Cheers guys :)

[@hermit6208]

No TA. Too commercialized. Stay true, Haze

[@ross5961]

Ray, you should go back and watch some of Haze's other videos, him and TA have history lol, its proper he be included! I am on my way to Joe's channel as I see TA has already jump on board!

[@thomasanthonystockdale7900]

To commercialised for TA? You've clearly not been watching Joe Robinet have you? Every video he does is pretty much sponsored 🙈 Few ads here and there, who cares. After all it's free to watch 👍

[@HazeOutdoors]

Ray nothing commercial about raising awareness about men’s mental health mate. That is true to me. Anyway... no worries if it’s not for you me old piss bag x

[@pshearduk]

Without even watching, I know how this challenge ends... Hazey WINS :)

[@patrickd2013]

Yeah, it got legs. I've watched dozens of videos over the last year or two, wondering where it all started. Now I finally come to the original source! Thank you, kind sir, for raising an awareness that has spread across the web, finding stable and troubled souls alike, and giving so much in the way of understanding, because so many have chimed in with their own thoughts and stories. For one who seeks to understand, the sharing of knowledge and experiences from so many diverse perspectives has been truly enlightening! I haven't found them all, so I keep searching, and continue to find new wisdom. Thank you again for starting something that has obviously (and sometimes not so obviously) helped so many to find empathy and understanding and sometimes a whole new perspective on the nature of manhood! Often, when I am troubled, or challenged, by the complexities of being a man in today's world, I seek out "Show Us Your Steak" videos, some that I've sen before, and some that I haven't, to help me reincarnate the basic elements within myself. One of the most profound that I have watched so far is from The Wooded Beardsman. If you haven't seen it, I recommend that you give it a watch. Absolutely a profound perspective from one who has definitely seen challenges, and come away with a much better understanding of "manhood". for your convenience, the link is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y33TpHuHpNR5r5o

[@tomasmalmros6091]

I know this is an older video, but what you talked about hit me in the heart. As a older dude(52 years this november) who has been dealing with depression and suicide thinking for over 30 years, I am thankfull that influencers that you and others bring the matter up in the light. NO More stigma. Best regards from South Sweden

[@duncanmummery4112]

Never seen this. Going camping with my son... again... for 4 days. Looking for decent camping food. Saw your top 8. Got to 1.... realised hadn't seen it. Love you dude. Xxxxx

[@aaronmullinz]

Thank you for the videos and wanting to bring awareness to mens mental health. I was diagnosed five years ago with Schizoaffective disorder which is a combo of Schizophrenia and severe bipolar depression with major anxiety disorder. I love the woods, its my sanctuary and place to go for peace of mind. Just wanted to share and say again great that you are raising awareness.

[@victorcouwenbergh8892]

Well it did go viral! I have been enjoying these Show Us Your Steak challenges. Not only are both subjects (mental health AND steak) very important, but I also discovered a lot of new youtube channels! This has been one of the best weeks in a long time, but it does make me hungry all the time!

[@The.Dulcet.Toned.Scotsman]

3 years on and I'm doing my SUYS this Thursday. Top man Hazey boy! I reckon after the last year we've all had and with kristmas on the horizon it's a great time to remind us gadges (and gadgettes) that it's alright not to be alright, but wallowing in silence and self pitty ain't doing anyone a favour, lots of great charities and help out there and hopefully these vids give some folk the oomf to get the help they need. Top man! Stick in mate!

[@patrioticwildcamper7682]

Haze I suffer really bad with depression and wildcamping helps me cope with it I've got a trial coming up in the next couple of weeks as I was abused as a child by another man and I got so low in my life I nearly ended it it took a lot for me to come out with what happened to me but I'm glad I did now As my heads a lot clearer now and I'm starting to get my life back on track and I've found making KZbin videos and going wildcamping with the queen has really helped great video mate and I'll deffo be plugging mental health in my next video 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@patrioticwildcamper7682]

I AM ME ! Thank you I have nothing to be ashamed of anymore and I hope that I get the justice I deserve on the 24th oct as I've been mentally tourchered for over 20yrs I'm also an ex soldier and I suffer from ptsd and I've found the last 18 mths of my life to be the most difficult but I'm heading back on track with the help of fellow Wildcampers and close friends

[@HazeOutdoors]

Nothing but respect for you mate, it takes nuts to talk openly about this sort of stuff but by doing so I imagine it lightens the load and is a big ‘fuck you’ to the scum bag that hurt you. I applaud you sir!

[@patrioticwildcamper7682]

Haze Outdoors cheers buddy it's people like yourself that got me motivated to get back out in the wild where I just get away from it all and get to clear my head and making videos helps me because It takes me mind off things and it's a Hobbie I enjoy doing I think you class for promoting men's mental health because it shouldn't be ignored and is a lot bigger than people realise thank you 🇬🇧

[@Andy182w]

So much respect for you mate. Stay strong and enjoy.

[@thailandheron]

Good luck mate

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

I enjoyed that a lot! Fishy wood hahaha! What a great idea buddy - It will be a big thing! We should never be embarrassed or ashamed! Love the jumper. Cheers, Simon

[@starlightrider9905]

Had to subscribe based on the impact you've had on this here topic bud. I blitzed a bunch back in 2018 and am coming round again for another look and listen--the stories I heard expressed have been heart rending and heart warming but inspiring one and all. I'm a firm believer in the message Hazy -I feel our sons need to witness us old farts expressing and talking before we'll get any real societal change on this. We can all agree that yes it's important to talk and seek help but to actually say hey I'm struggling a bit takes a bloody big leap of faith. Stay the course and many thanks from Canada. Gonna come check out you vids later.Cheers

[@michaelpacini1332]

You now have a convert . Very up for spreading awareness about mens mental health. So true about today's culture creating all kinds of problems. All those who served in their countries armed forces . Great respect and appreciation goes out to you and may you find peace in your lives . Those out there suffering from mental health issues also may you find care . Thank you for the great video and message

[@kiddobee3610]

The best part about this challenge is that it has started a conversation about mental health with different youtube folks sharing their experiences. It is wonderful to see. I think that most youtubers who are putting out content may not realize that folks look up to you in many ways. So leadership in this area is really helpful. Thank you for starting this, it is a fantastic idea.

[@trevpackerphotography]

I was tagged to do this video, so I came to see what all the crack was about, where it all started. Awesome video to support Mens mental health, thanks for bringing it the front of our minds and voices, I've had a great response, from well friends and subs. Cheers Haze. Steak and sauce looked the dogs danglees.

[@MegaKinkle]

That video touched a massive nerve with me. I suffer with anxiety, it affects my life and now work (luckly I'm still there). I have panic attacks and its upsetting. The NHS are now offering me help without drugs. Hazey, I'm not a KZbin person or a meat eater, but I will back your cause in anyway I can to help others. Hope Mr Monk takes you on. Wish Kate.

[@soulsurvivor3067]

Hats off to you for doing this! As a mother of two young men, both in the Air Force, I have been watching the role that men have in society shift dramatically in the past twenty years. With all the talk of women's health, men's issues have all but been ignored. Thank you for doing something that could help so many.💙

[@stephenlutz3907]

So, men don't like to talk about how they feel, etc...well let me say this: your challenge has grown exponentially. Bushcrafters, campers, preppers, hikers...it is all over Utube and gaining momentum daily. We all owe you a huge debt of gratitude , sir. Well done. Deepest respect to you from your newest subscriber. 👍👍👍

[@ryewhiskeyfan5946]

For a little over 35 years I have worked in or around health care. Military, Emergency Services, and currently as a Registered Nurse. I have taken care of or worked with people who deal with some form of this almost every shift. I also deal with it on a personal level. I applaud you for this challenge. Well done Sir. Thank you.

[@KingsTLC]

Mr. Haze...thank you for doing this as obviously it affects many people in many different ways. It is not so much me that suffers from mental illness ( well...I don't think we do..) but my son, who is 13...who we are going through a long and timely process of diagnosing him with whatever he is suffering with, be it autism, asperges, dysfraxia, or a combination of them. It not only affects him, but us as a family, and puts a massive strain on me and my wife's relationship, and my younger daughters who see and hear everything....I will not go into too much detail, but sometimes he will just not talk, not go to school, stare vacantly out the window, then on the other side, if something triggers inside, the house gets turned upside down, things broken and I literally have been used as a punchbag...many times...my eldest daughter ( 10 ) will then take my youngest daughter (3 ) upstairs out of the way as someone so young and innocent should not have to see this sort of thing, all the while when my wife and I are trying to calm him down...which normally he will do this himself, which takes some time, then he is physically exhausted and upset...he is extremely clever and intelligent, and we have been referred to CAMHS, to try and help diagnosing him, then we should know how to deal with him a little better...It is not only men who have issues, but teenagers, which then in turn affect the whole family by trying to cope with it. It is very upsetting to see someone you love so much go through this ( especially your children ), and again, thank you for raising awareness of the issue, which people seem to dismiss or forget about. Alan Kings

[@mr99boxer30]

@KingsTLC It does get better. Somewhere out there is a knowledgeable therapist who has the answer. Especially since he is clever and very intelligent. That is a good sign. We just need to know how to reach him on his terms. Keep trying please.

[@OldGoatintheWoods]

Haze, to coin a phrase - You're Bloody Brilliant! And your steak was spot on! I posted a video from my Boy Scout outing over the weekend here in the States & made mention of Men's Mental Health while out in the sticks. LOVE your humor! Hat's off my friend!

[@carlisle195]

Iv just uploading this dude was a epic video you did I totally loved it

[@HazeOutdoors]

carlisle195 Absalute LEGEND! Thanks mate

[@marcegrecco53]

Nice, you got it rolling into something very important. I needed this because I’ve been spiraling down for a while and I have been watching all the “show us your steak challenge “ beers uplifting for me

[@sailboatskipper]

hazey. rest assured mate, this thing you created is big. I'm a grandad and i'm about to take my son in law and my grandson, into the woods to cook up a steak, we'll not be filming it but we will still be talking about mens mental health, and thinking of you. thanks buddy. love your vids mate.

[@haraldrobinson7951]

Haze, you are a great bloke! My Mrs recently left me, and its been rough man, having been battling anxiety of diffrrent flavours and depression for a long time it has hit me hard, two kids in the equation too isnt helping it go any smoother. Your vids have always helped me look on the brighter side but this one really warmed my heart brother. Thank you for helping put a crack in the dam that holds us men and our feelings in. Do well Hazey!!

[@villipoto1640]

As someone that deals with social anxiety on a daily basis I truly appreciate what you started with the show me your steak challenge. As an outdoorsman myself I appreciate your channel in general and instantly had to subscribe.

[@GrumpyGrunt]

Important topic these days. Over here in the States, we have men losing their beans on a massively tragic scale and regularly these days. As a veteran who suffers from depression, I know I need my time outside and sometimes appreciate it vicariously through others (like Joe, and now you, too). I'll do my part to help take this movement viral and hope it can grab hold on this side of the pond as well. Maybe even produce my first YT video just for it. Thanks for starting the fire, mate.

[@gonagain]

Great video and message! I was tagged this week by Gareth of Mountain Coffee Outdoors and I'll give it my best shot, if I can get through the snow drifts to my favorite spot!

[@EnjoyTheDash24]

Haze, you really need to take a look at how much this has taken off. It is unbelievable. It is truly a wonderful thing you have started. It has helped me immensely. You have a friend in the US forever. If you ever need anything over here let me know and i will provide. Thank you so much. Cheers mate!

[@RaindanceBushcraft]

I'm here from Joe Robinet's channel. Thanks for doing this, man. The gods know that what I call my 'black dog' just does my head in sometimes, so it's nice to see someone trying to start a convo about mental health in this community. If I knew when I can get into the woods next, I'd definitely do you a steak video. EDIT: Oh yeah. I subbed, by the by...

[@spec-dad7824]

Your all top lads for doing this, unbelievably important to get this message out there, I've had my own demon's to contend with in my life and at the time I thought talking about it was not the manly thing to do, but my beautiful wife and family helped me through, beautiful message and jumper and cracking vid m8 your a champ.

[@Jenny-ob3go]

What a great message! Thanks for starting this. I had no idea my friend was struggling with mental health issues until he committed suicide. I wish he had felt he could reach out for help.

[@boggledegop]

Thanks so much for getting this going man, great idea and much needed. I'm not a youtuber or anything but I'm going to comment on channels that I watch and try to get them doing this too, costs very little and helps shine a light on the hell of mental illness. Subbing to a bunch of channels that are doing this challenge too, doing my bit to help support everyone. Again, thanks!

[@HazeOutdoors]

Respect to you my friend

[@Jimbob2902]

Awsome idea Haze. I've suffered from Anxiety and it's so important to get more awareness, I didint even know I had it for years. Walked the Dales way a few weeks back to raise money for Mind, nothing better than the outdoors to help the Mind.

[@jacobkonkel6793]

Hazy, This is legendary. I'm kicking myself that I haven't been watching your channel for longer now. I heard about this through TA and Joe's channel. Mental health is always a great cause to bring to light and I think you're setting in motion something more than just a challenge and an awareness to mental health. The outdoor community has always been a brotherhood/sisterhood but I've never seen people hopping between channels and furiously subscribing like they are now. Everybody is chasing the steak challenge. Because of you, Scrambled O is back. Because of you, Joe and Mike patched up whatever falling out they had. You're a hero. I may not be a household name on KZbin but I'm going to throw together my steak challenge after the holidays. Cheers, - Jacob

[@HiVizCamo]

First found all this by KCHappyCamper, and so on from there. Thanks for starting this, everybody knows somebody that's for sure. Great steak there, but I won't be trying that appetizer any time soon for sure!

[@phatoutdoors306]

I can’t believe someone actually disliked this!!! How do us “tiny” youtubers get involved in this? As a man, bushcraft enthusiast, bbq guru, and pastor who suffers from depression and has found the solitude of the outdoors to be a great cure I cannot express how grateful I am to see you starting the conversation!!! Men’s mental health is treated as a taboo that should not even be mentioned. A weakness or deficiency in our masculinity. BRAVO for the Show Us Your Steak 🥩 challenge!!!

[@neildraycott5272]

Just seen this several years behind the ball but it is still relevant today brilliant

[@craig844]

Nice one Haze, really needed , men's mental health has increased so much over the last few years and I know lots of guys who struggle, my doors always open, for coffee, tea , steak (and boy can I cook a steak) or just a chat. Good on ya uncle Haze, be blessed

[@jastimbal60]

Thanks for starting this challenge! Awesome steak! Especially your word on mens mental health, love your videos!

[@pastorpfp1]

Being a pastor I want to thank you for addressing this sensitive subject. You are making a difference in the bushcraft community. There is a huge need in every town to love and support the brave men and women who are fighting mental health issues. God bless you and may all of us have a healthy 2019.

[@fishinglad1644]

Big respect young hazo. Until this year I had no idea how anxiety could feel or affect a person. But had a a bit of it my self this year and it can be horrendous mate. People need to speak out and that Alone can help a hell of a lot when you realise you are just normal and it’s a lot more common than you think. Top man!!

[@dougLinker]

Looking forward to the challenge - now to find a wild sweater haha

[@HazeOutdoors]

Please wear a wild sweater for it mate. It would be a joy to behold lol

[@easylivinginmymind]

Great awareness!! The more men see men being mentally aware , the better. There is such a stigma, of cowardice, in allowing men to express themselves, on said terms!! As a woman, it's warming to see this in the public eye!! Thank you for your time, much love!

[@MaffTUK]

You Did Good Mr Haze and yes you did go viral, even little old me got tagged in the end .....seriously well done,

[@ptbaines]

What a wonderful way to bring attention to a serious problem. Your explanation of why life can be difficult, was spot on, I think, and this is such a great gesture. If you cut your steak one bite at a time, it will stay a lot juicer. Sure looks good, you do know how to cook a steak, that's for sure.

[@markdale8301]

Nice one. Had a tough few years with me head not in the right place and seeing things like this makes me feel less alone. Great idea raising in such a forum. I started watching these videos to relax. They transport me from my day to day and inspire me to get outside and live! Cheers.

[@HazeOutdoors]

Nothing but love and respect for you bro!

[@Gemma-lg7lf]

Just caught this. I've been watching Joe, and Shawn James for almost a year and learned about this when they did their steaks. First time I watched your video, the original. Thank you for doing this. My husband passed away in September and he never talked to anyone about his anxiety and depression until about a month before he died. I knew most of his struggles and the night terrors he would have but people we'd known for over 40 years were shocked by the things he shared because he had hid it all so well with a joyful, loving, kind, caring personality. At the end of his life he finally reached out, we all wish he had done it about 40 years sooner.

[@SwampValley]

Andy from Kent Survival tagged me, I can't wait. Such a cool idea, thanks for starting something awesome 👍👍👍

[@jamesgaunt7357]

Haze my man found you mistake just hunting round on KZbin and now I'm hooked and spend my day laughing and your beer talks and trips out . Would love to have a go myself . Keep up the good work mate your helping me keep my head above water if ya know what I mean.

[@higgsfieldinthefield9916]

Your Idea seems to be the most popular theme here among the KZbin community, congratulations mate, great idea. all the best, and I subbed. I only have a couple of subbs myself and Haven't been tagged But maybe someday. As someone who has been locked up in the nuthouse twice [once in LA and once in Scotland,] I have quite a good perspective for this, cheers mate.

[@WiltshireMan]

Nice one Hazy Lad and all for a good cause too:) I quite agree about the time frames that modern folk live out their lives in. There is another time frame, or vibrational field if you will. That of nature, which is ignorant to the happenings of the commercial world as much as the commercial world, the world of modern man is ignorant of nature to a large extent. Sandy

[@garyhertswildcamper8958]

Hello Sandy. is this a good time to mention you've been tagged? please check out 'bushcraft dads' channel. Gary.

[@ross5961]

You are probably the most rated R bushcraft / outdoors channel on youtube! its hilarious, love your videos man, happy to see your channel is picking up steam

[@WaywardWaggs]

Been watching all of these steak challenges and heard you started it. I am an Army vet and suffer from PTSD. Great message. Just wanted to say thanks. Appreciate you raising awareness.

[@chrismoose64]

As soon as you referenced blending in I knew that jacket was coming off 😂. Seriously though, well done on this one. You’re a magnificent human 👏

[@Crewsy]

The reflection of the fire off the photo of your mate making it look like he was holding an actual burning candle was awesome. The steak looks so much tastier than the wood lice.

[@mr99boxer30]

Great The First "Steak Challenge" Video Haze ! So great to "meet the man" who started this global/viral challenge to address men's mental health. You are a true Bushcraft Genius ! Single handedly you created a "world-wide movement" using your educational and "rustic" outdoor channel. I came here via Doug Outside (Canada). I have read all of the incredible comments below ! Each one more interesting than the previous one. You are a true humanitarian. Your cooking is very good too. (Carlisle 195 be jealous !) I think even Mary Berry (the British baker) would like your appetizers, although I think she would renamed them "wood crumpets." (My joke.) Your Aussie followers already know about these crunchies and put them on the Barbie ! Nothing gets past the Aussie's Eh ! I also think you have way more female followers than 12. More like thousands ! Being manly and taking your Jumper off will always increase your female subscribers ! Ha. Good idea Haze ! Cheers !

[@VRWarehouse]

RIP Scout, thanks Haze for starting this. Whenever I feel down this video lifts me up.

[@Shawn-px3yz]

Thanks Haze for getting this going.. I suffer from Severe Depression and Anxiety. My happy place is in The woods but Ive not been out in an eon.. Been struggling bad over the past 2-3 months because of personal shit.. becomes too much sometimes... I dont do much unless it has to do with my kids activities.. Being off work because of severe Crohns Disease and its complications finds me spending way too much time alone at home... I will be getting myself out into the Canadian woods and grill up a Steak. Time to get a camp made and force myself to get to a happy place. The woods are therapeutic to me..and I need ti get my arse back out there.. Cheers Hazey.. thank you again for getting this all started.. p.s. Lovin the Sweater..

[@keithmcewan7799]

Thanks so much for starting this. I am on my own journey through depression and ptsd, camping helps me greatly. Planning a camping trip this weekend (-8 to -12celsius )and will be cooking a fat steak. Learned of this through Joe Robinet and came to see what started it. Thanks again Keith

Well done, Haze. You cooked a nice steak AND started a great movement.

[@seanbeast939]

Massive respect to Uncle Haze and for the guys you tagged who have agreed to join in. Male mental health is still a taboo subject to some so a video like this can lower barriers we put up to protect our macho image....here's hoping "Show Us Your Steak" does indeed go viral 👍👍👍

I saw this shortly after you posted it. Can't believe how well it's done! Well done! You're an international celebrity!

[@retiredyeti5555]

I first saw Andy at Kent Survival doing a Tomahawk Steak and discussing men's mental health, then Joe Robinet, and most recently, Shawn James of My Self Reliance. Your name was mentioned by all 3, so thought I'd pop in and check you out. Love your accent - of course, you would think I had an accent. I am in Wisconsin USA, a Vietnam Vet, retired nurse, and fully aware of mental health issues with vets and life in general. I dealt with my demons with alcohol, until I got help and stopped in Oct 75. I opened up to others, that which I had been keeping bottled up inside, trying to cope alone. Thanks for your efforts to bring this issue to light, and to get men to open up, discuss the issues, and get help. God Bless. - - - An Armchair Adventurer

[@prepability3952]

This is a fantastic idea. I love how it's spreading, raising awareness and helping break the stigma around mental health but especially men's mental health. It's okay not to be okay.

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

Haze, Through this challenge you have presented, I have now become a sub of yours. I first heard about it through Carlisle 195. I became a sub of his earlier this year. I find peace through watching his videos, and yes, I live vicariously through his and your type of videos because do to my health, I can no longer do what you are doing, so it gives me peace to at least experience the outdoors with you. I am glad you brought this Steak Challenge for men to light. Mental health is such a human ailment. It does not leave anyone out of the equation. But as you said, and other men as well as I have watched many of their videos now, that men have been taught not to talk about it as it makes them look week. But that is a lie! That is a myth that has been perpetuated that needs to be called out for what it is. Men are not weak. They have feelings that run deep, and when it affects them it can be devastating. Mental illness can be so debilitating, it can shut one down, it can ruin your life. It makes you feel all alone like you are the only one that is going through it, and you feel like if you reach out to someone else, they will think less of you. Well I want you to know that since you started this challenge, 99% of the men I have watched have said that they have suffered or are still suffering from mental illness. I have also read much the same in the comments. Now if all that is true, then all any of us have to do is talk about it to others. If someone thinks less of you because of it, then that is on them, and they themselves are probably in denial. I agree with you Haze, today’s way of life is not normal or natural and is why so many are suffering from mental illness. Most women have no problem talking about it. In the crafting world there are many women that suffers from Mental Illness. The difference is we talk about it and talk to one another. It is why we have KZbin channels and belong to Facebook groups, so we can reach out to one another. I have suffered and still suffer from PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety, although I have made a lot of headway, it does creep in from time to time. But talking to others about it and having empathy with others helps to overcome it. So again, Haze, thank you for starting this challenge for men, it needed to be brought to light and it is a good thing. And I do hope that it goes viral so that many lives are touched by it.

[@mattc7740]

Thank you for the video and the god job, I also participated in this challenge from Japan. I pray that many lives will be saved all over the world.

Just a female from Oregon USA 🇺🇸 😉 I watched your videos for two years. I appreciate how caring you are and the natural way you talk to your viewers. Men and women both can benefit from your video chat. As a child I grew up in the woods so it always takes me back to my childhood. Absolutely brilliant 👏

Re-watching in 2020 because of the impact this had on me. Has fueled my journey to learn more about Men's Mental Health and getting outdoors. Thank you Uncle Haze for this and cheers to all those out there dealing with any struggles.

[@LeeRalph100]

Very Good Video!! I had wondered how this challenge started, Justin at Survival Mindset sent me your way. Thank You for bringing this topic out in to general discussion. I have a feeling that this has reached those that needed this message. Very Enjoyable video, Cheers!

We must change the model indeed!!! You are awesome Haze keep spreading the love

[@johnwessinger7768]

Haze you are something else dude! Love your silliness and craziness. I have been watching TA Outdoors for some time now and just started with you and Dustin (Buschcrafttools) and I appreciate you channel and as I read the comments how this particular video has and is helping others. Great job! Thanks John

These vids make you feel like you’re with you hanging out. It’s great for people who are lonely or don’t have the social capabilities to get out in the big world! Your like everyone’s big brother! Top man! What a gem 💎

[@Gemstone55]

From one of your twelve female followers (ooo I feel so special) This vid couldn’t have been timed better for me, I’m having a mental health day from work as I watch. I feel so passionate about speaking openly about taking care of your noggin..... Thanks for this.....your a little star. Scran looked bloody gorge also x

[@kerrymiles9966]

Even though You have mainly chaps that follow you, I love all the cheeky northern male banter (being northern myself) 🤣 but just wanted to say thank you 🙏🏼 for speaking so openly about male mental health. My dear brother took his own life a few years ago, it shook our world. As his sister, I will always carry the guilt of not being able to save him & the deep deep sadness of losing him. You are an angel 😇

[@MrDrewski61]

Well done Hazey for standing up and raising a voice for mental health. TA outdoors has been suitably pestered for the 'show us your steak' challenge. Big up Northern Monk also.

[@docholliday7256]

This is a great challenge . Well done sir!! I think its important to let anyone who is suffering from Mental Illness know that its ok to talk about it and you're not the only person going through this . You are not alone !!

[@GoranMagdic]

I accidentaly found out about your "Show Us Your Steak! To Raise Awareness Of Men`s Mental Health." series. Awesome initiative. Keep up the good work.

[@mglennon5535]

Great tags! Let the snowball start gathering momentum! Important topic. We are all in this together... you just proved your worth for the second time on men’s mental health. Well done! The snowball is rolling! Cheers

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Awesome video I was excited when I first watched this a while ago and now I was tagged and can’t wait to do it! Thanks for this video well needed

[@jwilliamson421]

I appreciate everything you do and to talk about this subject most men won't. One Love and much respect brother.

[@juliocruz5656]

Thank you for starting this challenge could help many people. I feel that talking to people about your illness

[@nutmunching]

Bro I love your videos. Your sense of humour is on point mate, you're so real. And I really appreciate the mental health awareness shit. Past year or so has been bare hard for me and no lie, your vids have softened the worst of it. I would genuinely love to chop wood and eat steak with your vibes :)
