Beautiful mate! Simply beautiful! “The southern nun and the northern monk” was very funny indeed. Thanks you so much Sandy, you’re one of the good ones.

[@WiltshireMan]

Your welcome Mr Haze:) There's a few of us "Good uns" about I'm pleased to say:) It was a good subject for a tag response video. I have yet to try the "Bottom Sniffer" Ale. I think it will taste as good as it smells! Sandy

[@MCQBushcraft]

Really enjoyed that Sandy, fantastic message also. The kick up the arse certainly comes in handy at times! Looked very cosy in the shelter, nice to see the deciduous trees from the drones point of view also. Take care mate and hope life is well.

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Mike, Having the ability to "Kick one's self up the arse" can be very beneficial and sometimes the best help comes from within! Yes the deciduous trees have all but lost their leaves now. I was in Sweden (Nr Idre) a few years ago. I have a friend who lives there. It sure was a beautiful place. The extensive forest, the lichens and the mosses, the peace tranquility just out standing. You'll have to invite me and Lee over for a for a get together at some point! Hope the long dark winter nights are not too bad? Just think of the long summer days ahead. It's all good! Sandy

[@djshauny1264]

Great video Sandy. As someone who has suffered with anxiety disorder from 8 years old, this message is great. Thank you!

[@gedmccole6143]

Ditto.bushcraft has kept my sanity

[@stevegaston8411]

Sandy I have been with you on you tube for several years, and I have to say this video is one of your best. Mental illness is still looked down upon by those who have never had to suffer with it.... thanks for brining it to a better awareness

[@rsb6479]

It’s chucking down in London so a good chance to spend hours looking at good stuff on You Tube. Haze and Sandy 2 of my favourites , push the reset button. Get outside and enjoy what time we have. Well done Sandy.

[@OutsiderProductions]

This has got to be one of my favorite video you’ve posted so far. So honest, and really hits the mark on what Hazy had intended for Men’s Mental Health. Thank you for sharing. We’re not alone.

[@gregpenny4384]

Thank you so much for covering this, for my wife and myself this is the most important subject there is, in a few months we will be married 50 years. we were 18 years old when we married, at 20 are baby Adam died from spinal meningitis, we started spending more time outdoors camping, we got through what we thought was the worst time in are lives. Then our second son Chris took his own life he was 22 years old. Mental Health is very fragile. I have always spent my life camping and hiking. but after Chris's passing my wife and I lost our selves in the back country it has helped the two of us get through life and has healed us over the last 24 years. watch your loved ones and friends for any signs of deep depression, it can save your life as well theirs.

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Greg, Thanks for sharing this . I am finding it hard to understand just what you and your wife have been through. It must have been just terrible. Gut wrenching! Sometimes words aren't enough and thats all that most of us can offer, but nature and time does offer an unspeakable healing thats for sure. Many thanks and best wishes Sandy

[@UPGardenr]

Yesterday is history; Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift

[@jayazelby306]

That's why they call it the present.

[@MrtheChief1]

Love that album

[@WaywardWaggs]

I am not very much of a survivalist but I stumbled upon one of these and now have been watching everyone's. Great message. I am an Army vet and suffer from PTSD. Great message and I am getting to see a lot of great steaks.

[@johnvanderwalker4830]

On another note, thanks for lending your influence to spreading the word about the need to take care of our mental health. Sharing our experiences helps remove the stigma that will bring about real change and a more healthy, helpful, and joyful world.

[@ldsphotodude49]

I love you Brits sense of humor. Love the northern nun bit. But a wonderfully serene wisdom. I enjoy your videos the same way I enjoy Kenneth Kramm. Even though none of us has ever met I feel like you guys are my old friends.

[@WiltshireMan]

LOL Ken Kramm is a Legend in my book.

[@Standswithabeer]

*"In so far as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body."* - Marcus Tullius Cicero ...in light of this -- and I believe it to be true -- I am continually surprised at society's general lack of interest in the matter.

[@WiltshireMan]

Food for thought ....Yes your right.

[@ridgemagnet9260]

Well done Sandy and well timed, pressure is hitting people around now with the expense and pressure of expectancy of Christmas. Two men taken their own lives round my way in the last month. Nice this community sees fit to say and do things to help, and to show through the year how to obtain the simple pleasures of life with no big outlay or pressure !

[@dazzaoutandabout4870]

Yeah well done Sandy. A nice and relaxed approach to the subject. No bell and whistles required for this. Just a relaxing time in the bush with the trusty partner. Cheers mate.

[@theamazingfreak]

Hi Sandy. Thank you for another great video. Poor Elsa looked like she was shivering at one point, though she did enjoy the food. Those massive tree's look amazing, absolutely beautiful. I am sometimes (OK, often) envious of your beautiful countryside. The Australian bush is a lot more harsh, very dry, very hot. Best wishes mate, look forward to more of your great content.

[@MrHazyt]

Excellent as always, glad the rain didn't stop you and Elsa xx

[@Steve-qo4hi]

Sandy, i have watched many of your videos and they are all great. BUT this is by far one of the finest crafted, heartfelt and just badass vids you have done. Your production quality has been taken to a new level. I truly enjoyed it. Cheers-Steve

[@English_Wanderer]

You sir are a proper gentleman and I'm so pleased you have done this vid as yourself and Haze are two of my fav you-tubers. Excellent video and fair play sticking with it over the few days it took to do, respect. ATB, James

[@GreencampRhodie]

Wise words Sandy. You've always been an inspiration. Love your dishwasher ;)

[@mclovin6039]

You get that butter! 😂 Love the dog

[@ActualRegard]

Great video Sandy. Started watching it expecting 26 minutes of purely camping and cooking. Instead found some truly inspirational and touching reflection from yourself. Hearing what you have gone through would have been enough to break a lot of people, to hear how you deal with everything life can throw at you with the simple mantra of living in the moment and giving yourself a “kick up the arse” is brilliant. Keep them coming, really enjoy your content.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Adam. The kick up the arse works wonders for me:) As for living in the moment, it's absolutely true. We all live in the moment, but it's how you apply that understanding in a practical positive way. Works for everyone no matter what belief, agnostic, atheist, jew, gentile or greek:)

[@johnvanderwalker4830]

I know exactly how your pup feels. Watching you eat that meal made me slobber too.

[@TUGMASTERUK1]

What a lovely video and so many relevant topics. Thanks for that Sandy. All the best.

[@DesmondsDonders]

This has to be the best Show us your Steak video I have seen. Thank you for sharing, absolutely first class from start to finish.

[@WiltshireMan]

Desmond. Thankyou:)

[@huntersmoon9724]

Sandy your words were not wasted. Lovely reminder of how to be mindful of NOW. you are always an inspiration mate. I hope to meet you one day. You are a top man. All the best from another sandy !!! 👍

[@patrickshaw7983]

Great video there Sandy. Terrific footage of the woods etc. and a very thought provoking message which I'm sure that we can all relate to, one way or another. Nice looking grub too. Elsa seemed to enjoy it .

[@birdie399]

The past shapes our future. We may try to live in the moment but the past still still echoes in our lives. Enjoyable video thanks.

[@GaerHampton]

Wonderful video, Sandy! I really liked what you had to say about making ourselves turn around from going down the downward spiral of despair, and about living in the present moment. I realized a number of years ago that the quote attributed to John Lennon (although apparently he didn't originally come up with it) is very true: "Life's what happens while you're busy making other plans." I still don't always do the best of living in the present moment, but it's always something to strive for improving upon.

[@MaffTUK]

Some great honesty and truth there Sandy, well done Sandy

[@LoneWolf-xx3bw]

Great video as always with a very true message. Thanks Sandy

[@karmacalling4352]

I really enjoyed that. The stake and partridge looked great. Thanks for sharing!

[@mariaotero5601]

How incredibly beautiful ❤️❤️ Mente health is real my brother died fought mental I'll need after coming home from war in vianum!! We were defeated!!

[@grumpycamperwill7746]

Sandy, Thanks for sharing you're thoughts on this big issue (Mental Health) a very calming and poignant message given in "The Sandy way" Thanks.

[@mozarkoutdooradventures3630]

Very inspirational on so many fronts. I really appreciate your efforts. Mike

[@dkduke100]

Quite recently stumbled on your videos Sandy and absolutely love them! Makes me want to book a day off work and get out there! Please keep up the great work. Thank you. Dan in Kings Langley, Herts.

[@feartheduck6664]

Top video mate. Your beer and shelter were colour matched as well! And that bushcraft cutting tool, not bad, not bad at all.

[@windy1965]

Very poignant & heartfelt opening to another top video, well done Sandy. Take care & all the best, Neil

[@Dustypilgrim1]

Sandy the Flying Philosopher rides again ... Agree with so much of what you said there. I have always tried to take the negatives and use them as a means to underline and highlight the positives, no matter how small . Cold fosters appreciation for the warmth . Discomfort engenders appreciation for comfort. Hunger enables appreciation for its satiation . I'm not rich , but manage to pay my way with a bit left over to share with others who are worse off. Above all , feel the cold, feed the hunger, breathe in and breathe out... it always adds up to there are plenty of poor buggers can't, so , as long as I can it's a good day, again ... Keep on Sandy.

[@WiltshireMan]

It is indeed a good day Will. Every day will have it's ups and downs but there will always be something nice, something good in every day and it's that which we must take.

[@VRWarehouse]

Top stuff Sandy, thanks for sharing. Having a good time finding and watching all these SUYSC videos, big thanks to Hazey for kicking this off. LEGENDS the pair of you.

[@jbradshaw4236]

Brilliant video. That tree is quite amazing too.

[@johnparry9750]

Wow that was great! I loved every part of your video and you are such a trooper. You have inspired me to take a long look at my life and see how much time I have wasted in mine. "Thank you so much for the kick up the arse Sandy and Elsa" As for the story of the monk and the nun. And the label on the bottle of beer hahahahaha that made me laugh so much. Keep up the fantastic things you do and God bless you and your family.

[@alexwade9921]

Great video Sandy. Love your little doggie! Nice knife too. Wish I could buy one.. ;)

[@dekirk4101]

Great video Sandy. Made me hungry. The only improvement I can think of would be a sliced potato or two browned in the sauce. Thank you as well for the message. I've been a little down lately and it really cheered me up.

[@peterkelly1355]

Thanks for your honesty Sandy. I too struggle and when I was put on medication I didn’t leave my bedroom for 12 months. That’s how I found bushcrafters like yourself on you tube. This was my arse kicking to get outdoors and find myself again.

[@tonybanjo]

Thanks mate, your video narration made so much sense to me as I recover from a very difficult period and it really helped me.

[@WiltshireMan]

I'm glad it was helpful Tony

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

A wonderful 8 minutes opening Sandy, I do love wandering in the ancient Savernake forest albeit somewhat diminished in size. I remember Eddie making that shelter, scran looked lovely and all washed down with a good ol' English ale, thanks and atb to you and yours 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Paul. Hope your well mate. Yes a good ol English ale takes some beating:) As for the shelter, well it saved the day. Sandy

[@SamsonsLeader]

So glad to see that I'm not the only one who uses the canine dish washer! My two made short work of it in my #showusyoursteak video. Great work as ever Sandy.

[@campfire52]

Another great video Sandy, I really enjoyed it. You put out such a well thought out, insightful, and powerful message here, it should have a positive impact on everyone that is fortunate enough to have come across it. Very well done sir. And the way that you treat your wonderful little dog/companion speaks volumes of your character for sure. You are a very noble man and a very noble being in general. Thank you, you made my day. Take care my good friend. Thanks for what you do.

[@jrozanec1]

extremely high picture quality especially from drone. professional level

[@WiltshireMan]

Thats kind thanks

[@dansmith6508]

Well done sir and well said. It seems to me that you have a firm grasp on living in the moment. Something that is increasingly lacking in these times. Cheers.

[@grahambarber2766]

Beautifully crafted video accompanied by gentle but profound wisdom. We share two big passions, the outdoors and motorcycles, if we ever meet, the Abbot Ale is on me, all the best Sandy.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Graham:)

[@davebuts1921]

A great video Sandy mate well said about mental health, I myself suffer from PTSD, have great days and have really bad days. You always have words of wisdom, wisdom I take notice of, thank you.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks for watching Dave. Hope things get better for you as time goes by. They generally do! Sandy

[@willstewart9669]

I used to be a gamekeeper and gun dog trainer until six years ago and I found out I had a heart condition that nobody had spotted since birth,so from walking maybe ten miles a day with my jobs to nothing was a bit bad to say the least but with your videos u have helped me loads,thanks mate....

[@WiltshireMan]

Your welcome Will

A superb video Sandy. Good to see Elsa enjoying her camp food :)

Thankyou Hank

[@markgibbs904]

Good topic about depression and mental health. All of us at one time or another struggle until we finally find our way. I thoroughly enjoy every one of your videos. The technology is spectacular but you as a person is what makes a great trip better. Sharing your perspective with us makes the world a better place. ATB

I hope so.

[@matthewsmith2432]

Thank you for posting this. I've enjoyed many of your videos, but this ran a little deeper. Some lovely philosophical wisdoms alongside the usual enjoyable video. I hope you don't mind, I shared this on my Facebook page. For my friends there to see. Thanks

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Matthew, Glad you found the video of use and no problem to share it. I hope it will help someone. We all have our ups and downs.

[@billhambelton7698]

Very enjoyable video Sandy and a great cause. Proud to be a mental health first aider at my workplace, and personal experience of changes to my anxiety and depression since taking up a carer role following my wife’s chronic ill health. Certainly agree with the getting out to reset. I just don’t seem to be able to get much time to do it recently. I’m hoping for a better 2019. ATB. Bill.

Thank you for participating in this Sandy. My very own dear Grandfather struggled with depression. Back in January this year he took his own life at the age of 87. To be in his company you would have never of known. Always smiling & cheerfulness. But behind the smile was a black dog so to speak. Sound advice Sandy. Lovely stake & great video. All the best.

[@WiltshireMan]

Andy thats dreadful news. Yes he must have been suffering. I don't know what to say!

[@canofbud101]

Great video Sandy. Well done for helping raise awareness of such an important issue. We all have our demons and I'm glad you've managed to conquer yours.

[@jock308]

Great video Sandy, my grandmother always said when you have “nerves” (as they used to call anxiety” find a large tree and sleep underneath it. Wise woman. For being such a little dog Alisa is VERY efficient at swallowing meat, hardly touches the sides. Cheers

[@woden20]

Nothing served up on the TV could hold a candle to one of your videos Sandy

[@WiltshireMan]

LOL well I do try and still getting better at it.
