Why on earth would anyone have a problem with you creating something out of nothing for fun and sharing your adventure with everyone? How do people get to be so miserable? You keep doing you and having fun creating things and living your best life. You've done enough for us. You earned your freedom, bro.
Hi, ex-matelot here. I've recently started watching your vids a few months ago. I did spend a lot of time ( years and years) in Afghan ( in rig on Op Herrick 8 ) and most recently as a civie working for an American company doing stores support for the US military. I met a lassie and we moved up to the Highlands from Central Scotland once I left the navy, she once owned a wee field and her brother had a forest ( both since sold :-( but life goes on ). I use to spend a lot of time up at the field cutting dead wood from his forest for firewood for us and my elderly inlaws. I had planned to set up camp in the forest but this didn't materialise. I did however over months and years form a path through his cleared forest area and built a log bridge from scratch over a burn and I only used a Hursqarvarna for cutting the dead wood for the 6 foot long bridge, everything else was done by hand including foundations etc,, sweat and positive feel good energy was the order of the day. I built it to help me extract deadwood for firewood and my brother inlaw used it for walking his dog. After being in that country for work, I relished being home and up in the field/forest cutting dead wood for my elderly inlaws. I'm envious you have found a forest to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. There was nothing more relaxing and fun than exploring the forest my brother inlaw had. Ok I used a chainsaw for cutting deadwood but it gave me immense satisfaction and positive well being cutting and lugging free firewood for my inlaws to keep them warm and save them buying firewood for winter. Free, healthy, and positive well being all round. Sadly the new owner has forested the forest but I know 100% my bridge has remained. In years to come by it will be rediscovered for walkers to use. Keep up with the terrific videos mate. Watching them also relaxes me, until my brother inlaw buys another forest for me to then explore and relax in. BZ
@@EastAnglianBushcraft Thumbs up 👍 never give up on yourself or anything that you believe in or love. Thanks for your videos. You're a good role model for people to learn from. Cheers to you my friend.
Hey man, after watching your videos and seeing your love for nature I wanted to get out there and do something. But I wasn't into camping. I started walking and eventually found disc golf. I've become addicted to the outdoors. I've went from a 50 inch waste to a 40 inch waste. You where a big part of it. Thanks for your content. It means the world to me.
Once again a gent and legend. Only wish I was watching you a couple of year ago. Your so right, the gravitational pull of the sofa is a bad thing, talking and doing something rewarding is a lot better. Best wishes 🤘✌️😀
Thank you. There's something about this video that has hit a nerve with me. I've been struggling with my own mental health for a while now and this has helped to motivate me to get back into nature and to self care. Namaste brother!
I know somebody who is doing research into this as part of their Ma (I think it is an Ma). I'm really interested to see what he finds. I'm sure it will be really positive.
Just to say we love your vlogs. Most of all we love your casual attitude towards mental health. You say it as it is. None apologetic no embarrassment. Exactly the way it should be spoken about 👍
Great video craig. Gutted to hear about your shelter, I’ll be doing one there too, I just need to find a secluded spot that’s all. Good luck on the charity walk and speak soon 👍👊
I wish somebody had asked me what was up after I got out of the RAN 30 years ago… but I don’t think I would’ve said anything anyway, as was the culture back then… Some things still trouble me. I have access to help now though, so that is a bonus! Just like the help you provide for your countrymen!
When you talk about your past and PTSD.....IV no way done what you have done in life but what you tell us I see in my self sometimes, Things went bad for me at 12, and well been a young chap had no body to talk to. But at the same time I was in scouting and this video just took me back to the best times.... Summer scout camps, I never really slept in tents with others, I use to build bivvies and did the sort of things you did in your camp..... Years on I do so miss the wild. I just sit on my off grid shed every night drinking. (Just as I'm writing this you talk and say about been depressed and get up and go) Look forward to your next clips.
51°15'06.1"N 2°39'26.5"W That is the starting point, I've missed that place so much. I'm going down for the annual dinner, though I'll probably go at least a week early and chill.
Like always, great video sir. I really how you talk about depression and getting help. I to suffer from PTSD and a lot other things. Keep up the good work.
So sorry that that has happened, but y you know what watching your video's are so relaxing and just love them, come up North again and I will gladly come and watch how you do your stuff and then can teach another person . Stoked I've nicked your word love it
Only halfway through Craig as at work but I totally agree with you regarding building a shelter and not worrying if it gets found it's always good to practice are building skills and just enjoy it but I am gutted for you mate atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
This is for sure the best way for me to end my day! Always amazing when you release content!! Cant wait until the weekend when I got to test out my new backpack that I got today... This gives me even more motivation for a overnighter :) //Max
Craig--just want to say hello from Grover Beach California--wanted to say thank for great videos and i look forward to watching new video--Dude if you ever come to Cali i would host you and we would sample the best IPA beer in California--Chees mate!
Another great video Graig. You've got me into wild camping, hopefully going out this weekend for the first time. You talk a lot of sense, about getting out and doing something for your mental health.
A great video bud. Cheers. As for the rings of power i agree with you. I was impressed with kazad-dum and durin though, great to see it in all its glory. Hoping the series gets better. Cheers 👍

I suffer from PTSD and at the moment I'm going through a bit of a dark patch but find your videos take my mind off things for a bit thank you
Yeaaahhh baby!!
Glad to see I'm not the only one that huffs fresh cut wood! Awesome!!
Shame your permanent site was destroyed. Keep up the good work. Bacon and eggs in the woods is soul food for sure.
Godbless, Craig. And to all fellow travellers 🤗🤗.
Inspired, I'm off for some nature therapy ✌️
Good therapy for unwanted stress and to just unwind. Sometimes being alone is the chance to think and reflect on life. It really helps me.
Me too bud 🔥👊

Yes man loving the retro pouring stick
A lot of people can't understand how you can just do nothing and simply absorb the beauty of being out on your own in the wild.
It’s so true mate

Advice at 25:19 is spot on. Thank you 👍.
