Sorry if the video stutters at all for anyone! I had some encoding issues but it seems to be better if viewed in "theater", "fullscreen" or on mobile. I'll try to sort this for next time. Definitely a different type of video and I really enjoyed making this since it got me outside! Let me know your thoughts and also, what brings you peace :D
I have sworn in almost all of my videos since the creation of my channel.. can you please stop spam asking me this. I am totally fine and swearing doesn't equate to bad mental health lol
I think writing and being outside is my peace... when I can hear the trees or the water breathing and feel the thoughts pouring out of my head it feels... simple and calm
Fellow 90s kid and grass eater here. I absolutely love being outside, going on hikes just to enjoy the scenery, trailblazing on my bike, doing some gardening around the house, the yardwork it’s all great. I rarely get sick and I think it’s due to my hands are always in the dirt. Something as simple as a mountain view or a nice spot by the lake especially with no vehicles to drown everything out brings me so much joy. It’s awesome!
When it comes to outside activity vs. inside, indulging in one for a while always makes the other even more enjoyable to return to for me. Same with being social vs. being introverted.
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder", which really does help one appreciate the stuff they do not normally have. The constant same thing can get boring, so mixing it up is refreshing.
Marzy, thank you so much for this video, I really loved it, the vibe it gave me, the image, your words... everything. I could say that I'm also that kind of way you described, bc Now that I recently moved to another country, Alone, leaving my family and friends behind, sometimes the feeling of loneliness start to kick in and I have to go outside to refresh my thoughts, like hiking, rout on my bike, or simply just walking over the streets and that helps A LOT. So I felt super indetified with this video. Thank you again and for real, you should upload more of this kind of videos, see you at the streams and take care. Greetings from Canada. 🙌🙋
As someone who just started to appreciate walking and the outdoors, the best feeling is the tranquility that comes along with it. Being able to turn off your mind and just hear nature around you is an amazing feeling. To not have your mind preoccupied with bullshit from your phone or social media or just the stress of life and return to something so basic. The solitude is equally important, tbh I can't stand being around most people, maybe its my current location but when I go for a walk I just feel like I can breathe. I totally doubt Marz will see this but im sure more than a few people will understand what im rambling about. Thanks for the VLOG!
What a beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing. I live close to a beautiful forest and it is so soul healing for me all the time. Sometimes i just wander around for hours with friends or alone, and it puts me in kind of a zen mode. I dont feel my body moving anymore, i just inhale the beauty. Another kind of zenmode for me is playing tracer on overwatch. Sometimes it just clicks and my brain takes over, floods my body with adrenaline and dopamine. But its a completely other kind of zen mode. Both are beutiful in their own way
I could just listen to you for hours and hours and wouldn't even know or care how long i've been listening to you. I simply love nature. I love your voice.
I grew up in the Hocking Hills, Old man's cave, Rock House. So many memories came to mind when I saw this video. Thanks for taking me home for just a bit.
Wow, this video really resonated with me. You inspired me to take some time off my day, go to a park and just look at nature and enjoy the moment 🍃 I work remotely and find myself being stuck in the same routine day after day, as I'm getting older I feel like I value these peaceful times outside more and more. Thank you Marz for inspiring me and surely, others too 💚
Hey, Marz, thank you for taking us on this small, beautiful, and inspiring journey with you! A few weeks ago, I was walking alone in the forest, and when I came out into an open space, the rain suddenly started. I felt the cold drops on my skin and the wind blowing through my clothes. It felt so good that I started to smile, spread my arms, and tried to soak in all those feelings. It was a moment of pure happiness. I felt so happy despite all the burdens and stuff happening around me... Your video reminded me of that feeling and made my day much better, so thank you for that!
I like being outdoors, but only in nature when I go fishing in the woods. Not the city surrounded by people, lol. Thanks for this eye opening vlog, really deep.
Same here. Going outside for walk or hike surrounded by nature is quiet and nice Especially peaceful and relaxing Like she said, away from the noise from the city
It is funny when you get back from a walk and sit down to see this content. I was just processing a thought I had in the middle of this big transition I am in. I am almost 30 years old, and so much of the ritual that built me up was being outside. I grew up in Indiana, at the time being in an underdeveloped town. It was the tail end of the OXY era and this town was hit hard with it. Mom was hopped up on a lot of things, despised my father understandably, and hated me. So outside was my time away from everything, it was for me. I grew up with bar family, so a lot of cousins are not actually my blood type of things. I just remember as young as 9 sneaking outside to watch the stars and peak at nature at night. Sometime later, those places gave me moments of safety to process some of the things that happen growing up. No matter where I went, going to Fort Benning GA and Fort Myer VA for the Army, going to Orlando for college, or coming back to Indiana, I always find a spot to write and a path to go for a walk. Absolutely critical for me to have developed. Fast forwarding to now, where everything has changed again for me. A lot of my identity has been challenged, and I feel tapped, yet here I am again starting another path to walk. My partner and I are over, I have moved to a new space, and I am starting over again. These little moments outside I treasure and sometimes even feel a little special to the universe. Marz I agree with taking time while walking, It was a couple weeks ago now, but I went for a late night walk. I went to a field on a hiking track that goes under bridges. Right in the clearing, I position my self center to the art the night was crafting. The moon was low enough that the trees bent around it. The shadows of the tree darken the lens of the moon beautifully. It was shaped like a portrait mode close up of the moon. That was a nice night.
this was very genuine and slowed the world down, I hadnt even realized I had been breathing short and shallow all day, thank you for sharing this moment and the peace it gave you 🙂↕️
It's views like this that makes me wonder how so many people don't like to get out & enjoy nature every once in a while. I get being a homebody, I mostly am one, too, but there's nothing that makes me feel better than the occasional fresh air & walk out in nature.
I like to be outdoors too but mostly where there's nature, I live in a city so I don't like going out in places with a lot of people, you always have to be in alert mode because in big cities you have to watch out for everything, they can rob you, a car can hit you, there's a lot of noise etc, not peaceful at all, I have more peace at my house, but the only place I find true peace is in nature, places with a lot of trees and green, in those places you can relax and not have to worry about anything, it's the best
Couldn’t agree more. Living in city is noisy, stressful, streets reek. It’s like race against time. When you take a walk in a forest surrounded of nature is absolutely peaceful, pleasant and quiet. Something introverts love about
I was just in Hocking July 12th while I was back home visiting family! I grew up in Ohio and that was always my favorite place! 🥰 So glad you had lots of water while you were there too, it was super dry for us but still so beautiful! Nature is so healing! Also, never ate grass but definitely ate some of those little white flowers that grow in the grass 😅
This is one of my favorite videos you've posted bc you feel really at peace and I loved hearing you're thoughts and feelings. I hope you're doing good and continue doing what you really love!
When you did that panning shot of that small waterfall, the combination of the water sounds, the green and the music timing, hit me in a way I didn't expect and I nearly teared up at my desk. Thank you for sharing this. I struggle with depression and I'm often shut in, but I live in a region where decent hiking and parks are never far away. When I was younger and lived in a small town in PA about a half hour outside Philly, I would go outside all the time to this local nature preserve along the river and wander and just take in the land and the air. So this was a powerful reminder to get out some time today after work and just breathe for a bit. Maybe hit up a trail at a local park. Hobby wise, I also took up archery a couple years ago and need to hit the range again. It's been a great meditative process for me and a way to settle after long, difficult weeks. Not worrying so much about getting a bullseye, but just focusing on posture and on breathing and stretching into the draw before release. I've been following your videos off and on for some time and have enjoyed watching you conquer Souls-likes in particular, but it's also really great to see you talking more recently about the things you enjoy outside of those, such as the state of being outside itself. Again, thank you for sharing this, it helped me remember what it means to me as well. Also, while I never ate grass as a kid, I used to enjoy chewing on the stems of geraniums. Why? I have no idea. 😅 But it just was something I enjoyed. Breathe Deep, Seek Peace, Marz -
I love bushcrafting, there is a lot of ppl on youtube that record it and share it with people. But do it alone in silece where you dont even talk to anything is amazing. The sound of nature talking to you, the peace of mind, away from the daily stress, in the middle of the woods away from the walked path, not even having a tent with you. You vs Nature, basic thing with you to survive a weekend in the middle of the forest makes you feel alive. At the end getting in to your car knowing that you made it, thats an energiboost by it self. I wish that I lived in US becose of the nature that your viedo show. Thank you for sharing Marz.
What I really love is biking, especially along the beach or any bike paths near a beach. Listening to your favorite tunes while smelling the beach air and the wind hitting your face is one of my favorite outdoor activities, especially at dusk when the sunset is beautiful and your mind is at a state of peace and tranquility. Nothing like it.
Being amongst nature and the peace of mind it offers is honestly euphoric, a calmness/stillness to it all, be it time to think or just enjoy life outside of the noise that is life to ones struggles! Hopefully we get more of these videos Marz, they're great!
❤ this ! beautiful place, exactly the kind of thing i love to do, just to be surrounded by nature and sit with my thoughts and reflect, letting go of any stress i'm holding, and being thankful for what you have, the gift of life.
This was such a lovely video! I agree with you 100% on spending time out in nature and living in the moment does help ground yourself in a way. I go on hikes often just to disconnect even if it’s only half an hour. It helps my anxiety and realizing my current stressors are not the biggest deal. For me what makes me feel like a little kid again is camping…every detail about it. Packing what you need, loading it into the car, the drive there and the excitement you feel, driving into the campsite, figuring out where to set up on your site, etc. My favorite though is late at night having a fire, hot dogs & ‘s’mores listening to other people laughing in the distance at their sites, hearing the crickets, the moon shining through the trees, fire crackling, moving around the fire multiple times because of the smoke keeps hitting you. Every time I camp I feel like a kid again, excited to build the fire, put up the tent, make my cozy corner in the tent, tell stories, laugh, falling asleep clothes smelling of smoke. Then waking up with morning dew covering the tent, cozied up in your sleeping bag. Getting breakfast prepared and feeling so calm. Camping is truly my favorite way to disconnect and just enjoy living in the moment. You have no service, cannot control anything other than where you are right then. It makes it easier to focus on then now rather than the past or future for me.
Love the change of pace in these outdoors vlogs. One of the things I love most about being outside? This might sound odd or strange, not sure if anyone else gets this. As a kid I was outside a lot, walking or biking in the woods, finding ganghuts (not sure if that is just a Scottish uk term), and generally just walking with my friends. There would be nights where we would just all walk and talk, no plans, nothing. As I grew older, friends change, separate, move away and begin a new chapter. Now when I go out side, not all the time, but quite a few times. The smell of the air, the grass, it triggers like a nostalgic feeling of going back to those times. Easier times. It revitalises my mind, and gives me butterflies from time to time. Odd I now, a smell of the outside can trigger something lost inside.
🌹Yes, i can completely relate to your sentiment of being outside, and recollect, reflect, and connect with nature and its surroundings spiritually and emotionally 🌺. I game on youtube as well, and i go on weekly walks, hikes, and over night camping hrs away from my home just to escape the mondane and business we deal with from day to day. One of the most freeing thing i do is go bare foot in the cold water fall waters and muddy creeks, or just go paddle boarding and laying out in the sun, having a peaceful picnic on the side banks of the river, just enjoying the warm cool breeze carried by the fresh woods, flowers, and the natural salts that caress my face and hair while i emotionally hug the wilderness around me. Nothing refreshing than swimming in ice cold waterfall pools❤, i get you Marz, love your time out vlogs, and love how you share your personal thoughts about your feelings and how things have impacted n changed your life since you started on youtube. Taking breaks and going outside is a great way to stay connected and clear one’s thoughts and just “RESET” and self evaluate life🙏🌹🌹🌹
so true, it is always nice to take a break and go for a nature walk. i try to drag my kids out for walks when i can, they always complain but almost always have a good time. and i know that i can feel myself getting grumpier and more stressed if i am stuck inside too much. we go for walks in the nearby woods. it can be annoying because of the bugs but just walking in the trees is so nice. and the random animals like the small birds that will eat out of your hand if you give them a chance or rabbits or deer, even a coyote. I'm glad that i live somewhere that there's some nature nearby for me to expose my kids to
I love that you hike Marz. Hiking has been amazing for my mental health. Even after a nice moderate or hard hike I'm left with the lingering vibes. I do think that breathing fresh air contributes a lot also to keeping us free of illnesses. Hiking always gives you a reward at the end, with incredible scenic breathtaking views.
So true, its easy to compare yourself to what people share on instagram even if its happening subconsciously. Nature really reminds us we are a part of something bigger
I live 20 minutes from those caves and trails. I used to go year round. It's so beautiful. So many memories. Can't do it anymore because of health issues. This was amazing to see again. Thank you for sharing. I'm really lucky to live in Logan.
these kind of videos are the besttt! just you being you is the thing i personally am the most interested about. ( i love the gameplays, streams and vods too!)
LOVED this video! Such a big draw to your content is simply YOU and your personality. These little snippets into your life and hobbies and mind just make you more and more relateable and connectable. Keep doing you and doing the things that truly fulfill you. Also, as for what I love about the outdoors: I have always enjoyed that cool morning air (an oxymoron seeing as though I am an absolute night owl). And a hobby that has always helped me find peace would have to be music. Listening, creating, even just messing around on a guitar or piano with no real structure in mind, just playing what comes to mind in that moment. It helps me feel grounded and connected to my soul. Much love and best wishes!
Very calming video. Thnx much.The hobbies that I have are first aquariums and second absoutly plants that have green leaves. I just jove them and find peace in them.
This is why I love running so much. I started in 2015 as a way to get exercise and that remains true today. But after I got over the initial bumps of getting in shape and being able to go much longer distances. It became my "me time." It's just >2 hours of doing nothing but run, listen to music, and thinking. About anything and everything. It's now my release. My favorite part of the day.
Thx for sharing the beauty of Ohio and the importance of taking a break from every day life. I have made it a routine to WALK every day short or longer distances to/from work and it really helps with clarity of mind! Living in a city is stressful, so making time to stop and take in the small things is really important to me. Glad i have family living in the countryside and near the mountains. 4 weeks left working, then 3 weeks with just being in the moment.
Enjoy your Nature walking and Talking, feels like a Real Life Elder Ring adventure with you looking for Bon Bons. Proud of you on how far you have come on this channel. Keep up the great work🙏🏻. Glad Luca is ok to
I've always found open landscapes ( as viewed from up high) and waterfalls to be the most fascinating aspect of the outdoors. The greenery and the colors that pop up in the fall are a plus for me as well. Think my years living near the Colorado rockies ignited my interest and now have a deeper appreciation for nature as a result.
Amazing video beautiful shots of nature, great editing felt like I was walking right next to ya. Nature has always keep me grounded. The one place I cam always find serenity.
Beautiful capture! What do I love about the outdoors? I love the sound of trees swaying in the breeze. Birds giving life to a forest with their song. The myriad of smells and colours, different every time. The warming feel of the sun catching your skin. The tiny insects you’ve never seen before. The moss that wraps around trees and branches, mushrooms. The peace. Nature always reminds me of the power of now. It grounds me. The perfect day is a picnic in a forest or a glade filled with flowers no? This is why I’m a photographer. The closer you pay attention, the better the photos. To capture it in images you keep for a lifetime is a dream. I totally ate grass as a kid LOL. Its surprisingly sweet in the stem! Thank you for sharing.
I loved this video, and I can relate so much to what you’re saying about how being outdoors makes you feel. My husband watches your gaming videos, but sent this one my way since I’m obsessed with hiking and backpacking and being outdoors. Would love to see more!
Loved this. Has definitely made me look inwards to think about what I enjoy. Like you said we have so much going on we forget about enjoying little moments. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.
Sense of peace and tranquility. My favorite is watching clouds. There are some people who have seen clouds shaped like castles and very beautiful and beautiful,like heaven.
I grew up in Vermont and not gonna lie I didn't appreciate the beauty of it here as a kid until I spent 10 years living in NYC. I realized how much being around nature eased my mind and put me at ease and I couldn't wait to move back here. And I did right before COVID hit so great timing on my end! Living in the woods during that time probably saved me and my mental health.
I can smell the environment🌱 through this video. Its truly relaxing and peaceful for the soul. One should definitely get out and get connected to the nature. Cuz as humans, a lot of us are busy with our work schedules, studies, gaming etc. that we've forgotten the outside world. Its important to keep check of your mental health as well. 🙂Hope this nature walk was a healer for you Marz. Would love to see more like these Tc!
It's a big world out there, we were put on this planet to explore it. Life is all technology and it will only grow, stepping out of that life to just take a breath in a scenery like this is so satisfying. People really need to take advantage of life and see it for themselves.
This video is both lovely and soothing. I have easy access to a forest and a beach, where I go for walks to clear my mind. Hopefully you make more of these. 😃👍
Lovely video. I agree with you totally. Being out in nature has a way of making you think - this is the right thing for me just now, I couldn't be doing anything better, healthier, more connected to my best self. I don't know if you do this already but one of things I found really beautiful was to learn a little more about the wildflowers and trees you can come across. You begin to see spots where only a certain flower blooms or in ordinary mundane places see something rare and overlooked.
Ok now this was freaking cool. You have to do more of this! Super chill, awesome smooth/stable shots, amazing views, great commentary. A peach of a video 🤗
Love this video! I haven't been outdoors for a while because of the heat.😅 But I think it's time to go out, see the sunrise, sunset, smell the air of the woods, the grass. Your video reminds me of the beauty of nature. Thank you.
Great video! Nature is where we come from! at the end of the day the reality is we are spiritual creatures that are designed to connect with living things.
grew up in ohio and been to hocking a good amount of times and it always blows my mind every time is how insane and gorgeous it is. love the content keep it going!
Wow. I resonate with this so much. From loving that feeling of physical exhaustion from spending the day out in the sun to feeling at home with nature. Also cool to see one of my favorite parks on here; I coincidentally found my now favorite pizza place over in that area.
Thank you for the outdoor vid Marz. Hopefully there will be more of these to come. I could never question the appeal of being outdoors. I love the outdoors. I love being outside, being around nature. It's soothing; it's relaxing. Even when I was a kid, and I hated not having any brothers or sisters, I could just spend hours outside at just about any time of year on the farm. Thank you again Marz.
This walk was beautiful and definitely makes me wonder about the amount of time I spend outdoors myself. These vlogs are awesome, please don't hesitate to do more of them! Thanks for sharing with us! :)
I couldn't agree more with this lifestyle. We all need a balance. I love hiking and lately finding new places to go swimming. Just got a paddleboard and excited to use it soon. I love my video games too, but being outdoors is just as good if not better. We need the time for our minds to wonder and be free of so much constant stimulation that it feels like our heads our going to explode. I also would love a house with huge panel windows. My dream home would be to have an A-frame log style cabin house with big panel windows out by a nice clear lake, and also a gaming room of course :)
I can definitely relate to that. I love nature. The older i am, the more i love nature. But i also recommend using motorcycle instead of car. Because the experience starts when you start moving from home, instead of when you arrive to your destination. So far i own scooter only, because i work as a courier, so i need it for work. But i did some longer trips on it and it's awesome. I'm planning on buying bigger bike and travel through the Europe and see all the nature. But walking is definitely great too. It's just that on bike you are getting all the adventure when you are moving from place to place too.
I'm also a retired grass and sand eater LMAO 😂I'm so glad that you're riding horses too and sticking with it!! I've had them my whole life and they seriously ground you and keep you grounded with nature.
Definitely more of these types of videos please Marz, really enjoyed it! I love my gaming but I also need to go for a run or ride my bike or even just shoot hoops with my son outside a few times a week... Always feel refreshed and energised for doing it!
I think about many outdoor environments artistically all the time, especially when it is just nature. That is why I specifically love making environments and lighting in software like Unreal Engine. Nature just speaks volumes without even trying and I love every bit of it. I feel the same way when it comes to the scenery of it. When indoors, I don't like the standard florescent lighting as much. I prefer to have the natural sunlight spill in and fill the room. And yeah, it is so satisfying to have a fufilled day to where you are actually physically tired at the end and get a glorious night sleep. Glad to see you doing what you love!
That's a gorgeous area you walked in, nice paths in a pretty forest. I definitely connect to that being outdoors A LOT as a kid getting up to all kinds of stuff in surrounding forest areas and exploring, catching moths and bugs. When I do go outside to the forest near where I live I like to just walk slow, not pick up my phone unless I want to take a picture of something I don't usually see just so I can share that with someone else. Blueberry season is coming up so I plan to just be outside in clouds of mosquitoes (unfortunately) and enjoy the rest of summer. Though I love all seasons and really like the contrast they bring, summer brings so much life so it's good to make the most out of it! Enjoyed this video Marz, you're a well spoken lady! Cheers.
I love the outdoors. I changed careers because I couldn’t just sit in an office anymore. Beautiful nature shots and relatable thoughts. I remember building a tree house as a kid with my friends. One of my best childhood memories.
Spending your time outdoors especially in these type of environment will help boost your immune system also. Plants and their organic substance in the air can do wonders. When I use to spend outdoors a lot my skin would heal very quickly and less allergic to stuff but nowadays I have spend so many years indoors and now my skin have become so sensitive to all kind of allergies/infections. I still love camping and I totally enjoyed watching RUclipsrs who does a long or a short hiking/camping.
This was a lovely watch! My SO and I love taking our pup on hikes cause she's high energy so I always enjoy seeing other beautiful hiking spots from around the world. Thanks for sharing!
Wow that's such a beautiful place. More of these please! When it comes to being outdoors, what I really love to do too. Is the serenity of nature, to me it provides a bit of zen in a busy life. I usually just look for a nice place in the woods and I just sit there enjoying everything around me. I just wish we had such beautiful bits of nature over here 😂.
Sorry if the video stutters at all for anyone! I had some encoding issues but it seems to be better if viewed in "theater", "fullscreen" or on mobile. I'll try to sort this for next time.
Definitely a different type of video and I really enjoyed making this since it got me outside! Let me know your thoughts and also, what brings you peace :D
Take care of your self recharge the batteries 😊

Yes!! Do more of this vlogs! Have fun!
I can't get over how GREEN everything looks! Nature is beautiful and nature is all there is ❤
It was right before it got grossly humid LOL but its beautiful there
Especially when you get infected with a parasite.
@@MarzzHow is your triangle?
As someone who struggles with ptsd and anxiety, this video brings such peace and joy. Thank you Marz
Getting outside and connecting with nature is something we are so hardwired for 🙏🏼 feelsgood
I think writing and being outside is my peace... when I can hear the trees or the water breathing and feel the thoughts pouring out of my head it feels... simple and calm
Thank you for the video, wow absolutely beautiful trail

Yeah, also when you eat the same food for a minute and then switch, it tastes better
@@theviciouschickenofbristol4779 I think this is exactly how it is.
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder", which really does help one appreciate the stuff they do not normally have. The constant same thing can get boring, so mixing it up is refreshing.
Enjoying the nature and going for walk and hike is what we introvert love most

Hey, Marz, thank you for taking us on this small, beautiful, and inspiring journey with you!
A few weeks ago, I was walking alone in the forest, and when I came out into an open space, the rain suddenly started. I felt the cold drops on my skin and the wind blowing through my clothes. It felt so good that I started to smile, spread my arms, and tried to soak in all those feelings. It was a moment of pure happiness. I felt so happy despite all the burdens and stuff happening around me...
Your video reminded me of that feeling and made my day much better, so thank you for that!

Absolutely critical for me to have developed. Fast forwarding to now, where everything has changed again for me. A lot of my identity has been challenged, and I feel tapped, yet here I am again starting another path to walk. My partner and I are over, I have moved to a new space, and I am starting over again. These little moments outside I treasure and sometimes even feel a little special to the universe. Marz I agree with taking time while walking, It was a couple weeks ago now, but I went for a late night walk. I went to a field on a hiking track that goes under bridges. Right in the clearing, I position my self center to the art the night was crafting. The moon was low enough that the trees bent around it. The shadows of the tree darken the lens of the moon beautifully. It was shaped like a portrait mode close up of the moon. That was a nice night.
So greatful for the vlogs
this was very genuine and slowed the world down, I hadnt even realized I had been breathing short and shallow all day, thank you for sharing this moment and the peace it gave you 🙂↕️
It's views like this that makes me wonder how so many people don't like to get out & enjoy nature every once in a while. I get being a homebody, I mostly am one, too, but there's nothing that makes me feel better than the occasional fresh air & walk out in nature.
Ooh vlog time! Pleasant surprise 🙌🏻💙🍀 Excited!
I like to be outdoors too but mostly where there's nature, I live in a city so I don't like going out in places with a lot of people, you always have to be in alert mode because in big cities you have to watch out for everything, they can rob you, a car can hit you, there's a lot of noise etc, not peaceful at all, I have more peace at my house, but the only place I find true peace is in nature, places with a lot of trees and green, in those places you can relax and not have to worry about anything, it's the best
Couldn’t agree more. Living in city is noisy, stressful, streets reek. It’s like race against time.
When you take a walk in a forest surrounded of nature is absolutely peaceful, pleasant and quiet. Something introverts love about
I was just in Hocking July 12th while I was back home visiting family! I grew up in Ohio and that was always my favorite place! 🥰 So glad you had lots of water while you were there too, it was super dry for us but still so beautiful! Nature is so healing! Also, never ate grass but definitely ate some of those little white flowers that grow in the grass 😅
This is one of my favorite videos you've posted bc you feel really at peace and I loved hearing you're thoughts and feelings. I hope you're doing good and continue doing what you really love!
Hocking Hills was one of my favourite spots. Love it in the Fall when the leaves have changed colour. Glad to see it's still looking good.
When you did that panning shot of that small waterfall, the combination of the water sounds, the green and the music timing, hit me in a way I didn't expect and I nearly teared up at my desk. Thank you for sharing this. I struggle with depression and I'm often shut in, but I live in a region where decent hiking and parks are never far away. When I was younger and lived in a small town in PA about a half hour outside Philly, I would go outside all the time to this local nature preserve along the river and wander and just take in the land and the air. So this was a powerful reminder to get out some time today after work and just breathe for a bit. Maybe hit up a trail at a local park. Hobby wise, I also took up archery a couple years ago and need to hit the range again. It's been a great meditative process for me and a way to settle after long, difficult weeks. Not worrying so much about getting a bullseye, but just focusing on posture and on breathing and stretching into the draw before release.
I've been following your videos off and on for some time and have enjoyed watching you conquer Souls-likes in particular, but it's also really great to see you talking more recently about the things you enjoy outside of those, such as the state of being outside itself. Again, thank you for sharing this, it helped me remember what it means to me as well.
Also, while I never ate grass as a kid, I used to enjoy chewing on the stems of geraniums. Why? I have no idea. 😅 But it just was something I enjoyed.
Breathe Deep, Seek Peace, Marz -
I love bushcrafting, there is a lot of ppl on youtube that record it and share it with people. But do it alone in silece where you dont even talk to anything is amazing. The sound of nature talking to you, the peace of mind, away from the daily stress, in the middle of the woods away from the walked path, not even having a tent with you. You vs Nature, basic thing with you to survive a weekend in the middle of the forest makes you feel alive. At the end getting in to your car knowing that you made it, thats an energiboost by it self. I wish that I lived in US becose of the nature that your viedo show.
Thank you for sharing Marz.
What I really love is biking, especially along the beach or any bike paths near a beach. Listening to your favorite tunes while smelling the beach air and the wind hitting your face is one of my favorite outdoor activities, especially at dusk when the sunset is beautiful and your mind is at a state of peace and tranquility. Nothing like it.
Being amongst nature and the peace of mind it offers is honestly euphoric, a calmness/stillness to it all, be it time to think or just enjoy life outside of the noise that is life to ones struggles!
Hopefully we get more of these videos Marz, they're great!
❤ this ! beautiful place, exactly the kind of thing i love to do, just to be surrounded by nature and sit with my thoughts and reflect, letting go of any stress i'm holding, and being thankful for what you have, the gift of life.
this video forced me to relax, i had to fight the hectic feelings to let me relax, its crazy what a cozy video does to a person. thank you.
Fellow grass eater here. I love this video. Beautiful shots, wise words. Thank you for sharing this moment of heartfelt reflection. ❤
This was such a lovely video! I agree with you 100% on spending time out in nature and living in the moment does help ground yourself in a way. I go on hikes often just to disconnect even if it’s only half an hour. It helps my anxiety and realizing my current stressors are not the biggest deal.
For me what makes me feel like a little kid again is camping…every detail about it. Packing what you need, loading it into the car, the drive there and the excitement you feel, driving into the campsite, figuring out where to set up on your site, etc. My favorite though is late at night having a fire, hot dogs & ‘s’mores listening to other people laughing in the distance at their sites, hearing the crickets, the moon shining through the trees, fire crackling, moving around the fire multiple times because of the smoke keeps hitting you. Every time I camp I feel like a kid again, excited to build the fire, put up the tent, make my cozy corner in the tent, tell stories, laugh, falling asleep clothes smelling of smoke. Then waking up with morning dew covering the tent, cozied up in your sleeping bag. Getting breakfast prepared and feeling so calm.
Camping is truly my favorite way to disconnect and just enjoy living in the moment. You have no service, cannot control anything other than where you are right then. It makes it easier to focus on then now rather than the past or future for me.
Love the change of pace in these outdoors vlogs. One of the things I love most about being outside? This might sound odd or strange, not sure if anyone else gets this. As a kid I was outside a lot, walking or biking in the woods, finding ganghuts (not sure if that is just a Scottish uk term), and generally just walking with my friends. There would be nights where we would just all walk and talk, no plans, nothing. As I grew older, friends change, separate, move away and begin a new chapter. Now when I go out side, not all the time, but quite a few times. The smell of the air, the grass, it triggers like a nostalgic feeling of going back to those times. Easier times. It revitalises my mind, and gives me butterflies from time to time. Odd I now, a smell of the outside can trigger something lost inside.
🌹Yes, i can completely relate to your sentiment of being outside, and recollect, reflect, and connect with nature and its surroundings spiritually and emotionally 🌺. I game on youtube as well, and i go on weekly walks, hikes, and over night camping hrs away from my home just to escape the mondane and business we deal with from day to day. One of the most freeing thing i do is go bare foot in the cold water fall waters and muddy creeks, or just go paddle boarding and laying out in the sun, having a peaceful picnic on the side banks of the river, just enjoying the warm cool breeze carried by the fresh woods, flowers, and the natural salts that caress my face and hair while i emotionally hug the wilderness around me. Nothing refreshing than swimming in ice cold waterfall pools❤, i get you Marz, love your time out vlogs, and love how you share your personal thoughts about your feelings and how things have impacted n changed your life since you started on youtube. Taking breaks and going outside is a great way to stay connected and clear one’s thoughts and just “RESET” and self evaluate life🙏🌹🌹🌹
so true, it is always nice to take a break and go for a nature walk. i try to drag my kids out for walks when i can, they always complain but almost always have a good time. and i know that i can feel myself getting grumpier and more stressed if i am stuck inside too much. we go for walks in the nearby woods. it can be annoying because of the bugs but just walking in the trees is so nice. and the random animals like the small birds that will eat out of your hand if you give them a chance or rabbits or deer, even a coyote. I'm glad that i live somewhere that there's some nature nearby for me to expose my kids to
Thanks for the video Marz, was a very timely video and theme for me. Enjoy your time outside and journeys through this beautiful nature 🍻
I love that you hike Marz. Hiking has been amazing for my mental health. Even after a nice moderate or hard hike I'm left with the lingering vibes. I do think that breathing fresh air contributes a lot also to keeping us free of illnesses. Hiking always gives you a reward at the end, with incredible scenic breathtaking views.
So true, its easy to compare yourself to what people share on instagram even if its happening subconsciously. Nature really reminds us we are a part of something bigger
Very beautiful place. especially that small waterfall
I live 20 minutes from those caves and trails. I used to go year round. It's so beautiful. So many memories. Can't do it anymore because of health issues. This was amazing to see again. Thank you for sharing. I'm really lucky to live in Logan.
Being outside expands my mind and gather thoughts in mind that put me at peace.
Just do whatever makes you happy and comfortable with, I always enjoy your videos.
This was a beautiful video, and such a beautiful place!
It’s 6 am and I’m getting ready for work listening to your video and I live alone, thank you for giving comfort for me this morning
these kind of videos are the besttt! just you being you is the thing i personally am the most interested about. ( i love the gameplays, streams and vods too!)
LOVED this video! Such a big draw to your content is simply YOU and your personality. These little snippets into your life and hobbies and mind just make you more and more relateable and connectable. Keep doing you and doing the things that truly fulfill you.
Also, as for what I love about the outdoors: I have always enjoyed that cool morning air (an oxymoron seeing as though I am an absolute night owl).
And a hobby that has always helped me find peace would have to be music. Listening, creating, even just messing around on a guitar or piano with no real structure in mind, just playing what comes to mind in that moment. It helps me feel grounded and connected to my soul.
Much love and best wishes!
Very calming video. Thnx much.The hobbies that I have are first aquariums and second absoutly plants that have green leaves. I just jove them and find peace in them.
Being in nature just takes my mind off my problems and helps me see things in a different perspective. That is such a pretty place omg. 🖤🖤
This is why I love running so much. I started in 2015 as a way to get exercise and that remains true today. But after I got over the initial bumps of getting in shape and being able to go much longer distances. It became my "me time." It's just >2 hours of doing nothing but run, listen to music, and thinking. About anything and everything. It's now my release. My favorite part of the day.
This resonates w me , theres so much mystery around us , things are constantly happening its easy to miss this.
Thx for sharing the beauty of Ohio and the importance of taking a break from every day life.
I have made it a routine to WALK every day short or longer distances to/from work and it really helps with clarity of mind! Living in a city is stressful, so making time to stop and take in the small things is really important to me. Glad i have family living in the countryside and near the mountains. 4 weeks left working, then 3 weeks with just being in the moment.
Enjoy your Nature walking and Talking, feels like a Real Life Elder Ring adventure with you looking for Bon Bons. Proud of you on how far you have come on this channel. Keep up the great work🙏🏻. Glad Luca is ok to
Honestly I love these outdoor walk & talk video. this way we can enjoy the outdoords and also get to know more about you outside the gaming world :)
you are one of my most favorite person in RUclips 😍💙, this video was really great in this beautiful nature 🌱
I've always found open landscapes ( as viewed from up high) and waterfalls to be the most fascinating aspect of the outdoors. The greenery and the colors that pop up in the fall are a plus for me as well. Think my years living near the Colorado rockies ignited my interest and now have a deeper appreciation for nature as a result.
Amazing video beautiful shots of nature, great editing felt like I was walking right next to ya. Nature has always keep me grounded. The one place I cam always find serenity.
Beautiful capture! What do I love about the outdoors? I love the sound of trees swaying in the breeze. Birds giving life to a forest with their song. The myriad of smells and colours, different every time. The warming feel of the sun catching your skin. The tiny insects you’ve never seen before. The moss that wraps around trees and branches, mushrooms. The peace. Nature always reminds me of the power of now. It grounds me. The perfect day is a picnic in a forest or a glade filled with flowers no? This is why I’m a photographer. The closer you pay attention, the better the photos. To capture it in images you keep for a lifetime is a dream. I totally ate grass as a kid LOL. Its surprisingly sweet in the stem! Thank you for sharing.
Its peace in one form out of many many realitys without chaos
I loved this video, and I can relate so much to what you’re saying about how being outdoors makes you feel. My husband watches your gaming videos, but sent this one my way since I’m obsessed with hiking and backpacking and being outdoors. Would love to see more!
Loved this. Has definitely made me look inwards to think about what I enjoy. Like you said we have so much going on we forget about enjoying little moments. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.
Sense of peace and tranquility. My favorite is watching clouds. There are some people who have seen clouds shaped like castles and very beautiful and beautiful,like heaven.
I grew up in Vermont and not gonna lie I didn't appreciate the beauty of it here as a kid until I spent 10 years living in NYC. I realized how much being around nature eased my mind and put me at ease and I couldn't wait to move back here. And I did right before COVID hit so great timing on my end! Living in the woods during that time probably saved me and my mental health.
I can smell the environment🌱 through this video. Its truly relaxing and peaceful for the soul. One should definitely get out and get connected to the nature. Cuz as humans, a lot of us are busy with our work schedules, studies, gaming etc. that we've forgotten the outside world. Its important to keep check of your mental health as well. 🙂Hope this nature walk was a healer for you Marz. Would love to see more like these Tc!
I really liked this video, remembered me to take a break from my autopilot, working, studying and just stop to breathe what nature has to offer us.
It's a big world out there, we were put on this planet to explore it. Life is all technology and it will only grow, stepping out of that life to just take a breath in a scenery like this is so satisfying. People really need to take advantage of life and see it for themselves.
Refreshing, revitalizing, revivifying walk blog out in nature, Marz! 🏞 🌳🌲 ⛰️
This video is both lovely and soothing. I have easy access to a forest and a beach, where I go for walks to clear my mind. Hopefully you make more of these. 😃👍
Lovely video. I agree with you totally. Being out in nature has a way of making you think - this is the right thing for me just now, I couldn't be doing anything better, healthier, more connected to my best self. I don't know if you do this already but one of things I found really beautiful was to learn a little more about the wildflowers and trees you can come across. You begin to see spots where only a certain flower blooms or in ordinary mundane places see something rare and overlooked.
Ok now this was freaking cool. You have to do more of this!
Super chill, awesome smooth/stable shots, amazing views, great commentary. A peach of a video 🤗
I love hocking hills! Used to go quite often!
So calm and beautiful!!! Thank you Marz!!! 😊❤
Mother Nature is gorgeous love the out doors so beautiful
Love this video! I haven't been outdoors for a while because of the heat.😅
But I think it's time to go out, see the sunrise, sunset, smell the air of the woods, the grass.
Your video reminds me of the beauty of nature. Thank you.
Great video! Nature is where we come from! at the end of the day the reality is we are spiritual creatures that are designed to connect with living things.
Truly enjoy your videos and definitely outdoors is a great escape from the hectic life we all have. Love the vlogs. Keep up the amazing work you do.
grew up in ohio and been to hocking a good amount of times and it always blows my mind every time is how insane and gorgeous it is. love the content keep it going!
Wow. I resonate with this so much. From loving that feeling of physical exhaustion from spending the day out in the sun to feeling at home with nature. Also cool to see one of my favorite parks on here; I coincidentally found my now favorite pizza place over in that area.
Thank you for the outdoor vid Marz. Hopefully there will be more of these to come.
I could never question the appeal of being outdoors. I love the outdoors. I love being outside, being around nature. It's soothing; it's relaxing. Even when I was a kid, and I hated not having any brothers or sisters, I could just spend hours outside at just about any time of year on the farm.
Thank you again Marz.
Perfect video for a Sunday night 😊
I don't mind this video being different at all. As much as I enjoy your usual videos, this one was also very nice to watch. Quite calming.
This walk was beautiful and definitely makes me wonder about the amount of time I spend outdoors myself. These vlogs are awesome, please don't hesitate to do more of them! Thanks for sharing with us! :)
I couldn't agree more with this lifestyle. We all need a balance. I love hiking and lately finding new places to go swimming. Just got a paddleboard and excited to use it soon. I love my video games too, but being outdoors is just as good if not better. We need the time for our minds to wonder and be free of so much constant stimulation that it feels like our heads our going to explode. I also would love a house with huge panel windows. My dream home would be to have an A-frame log style cabin house with big panel windows out by a nice clear lake, and also a gaming room of course :)
I used to love going to Hocking Hills. Great for motorcycle rides, hiking, etc.
I can definitely relate to that. I love nature. The older i am, the more i love nature. But i also recommend using motorcycle instead of car. Because the experience starts when you start moving from home, instead of when you arrive to your destination. So far i own scooter only, because i work as a courier, so i need it for work. But i did some longer trips on it and it's awesome. I'm planning on buying bigger bike and travel through the Europe and see all the nature. But walking is definitely great too. It's just that on bike you are getting all the adventure when you are moving from place to place too.
I'm also a retired grass and sand eater LMAO 😂I'm so glad that you're riding horses too and sticking with it!! I've had them my whole life and they seriously ground you and keep you grounded with nature.
It's been incredibly therapeutic being around them! It's so hard to explain how calming horses are
Definitely more of these types of videos please Marz, really enjoyed it! I love my gaming but I also need to go for a run or ride my bike or even just shoot hoops with my son outside a few times a week... Always feel refreshed and energised for doing it!
I think about many outdoor environments artistically all the time, especially when it is just nature. That is why I specifically love making environments and lighting in software like Unreal Engine. Nature just speaks volumes without even trying and I love every bit of it.
I feel the same way when it comes to the scenery of it. When indoors, I don't like the standard florescent lighting as much. I prefer to have the natural sunlight spill in and fill the room.
And yeah, it is so satisfying to have a fufilled day to where you are actually physically tired at the end and get a glorious night sleep.
Glad to see you doing what you love!
That's a gorgeous area you walked in, nice paths in a pretty forest. I definitely connect to that being outdoors A LOT as a kid getting up to all kinds of stuff in surrounding forest areas and exploring, catching moths and bugs.
When I do go outside to the forest near where I live I like to just walk slow, not pick up my phone unless I want to take a picture of something I don't usually see just so I can share that with someone else. Blueberry season is coming up so I plan to just be outside in clouds of mosquitoes (unfortunately) and enjoy the rest of summer. Though I love all seasons and really like the contrast they bring, summer brings so much life so it's good to make the most out of it!
Enjoyed this video Marz, you're a well spoken lady! Cheers.
Thanks for this tour Marzy! This was beautiful and lessonful at the same time! 🦊🫡
I love the outdoors. I changed careers because I couldn’t just sit in an office anymore. Beautiful nature shots and relatable thoughts. I remember building a tree house as a kid with my friends. One of my best childhood memories.
Spending your time outdoors especially in these type of environment will help boost your immune system also. Plants and their organic substance in the air can do wonders. When I use to spend outdoors a lot my skin would heal very quickly and less allergic to stuff but nowadays I have spend so many years indoors and now my skin have become so sensitive to all kind of allergies/infections. I still love camping and I totally enjoyed watching RUclipsrs who does a long or a short hiking/camping.
Awesome hike. Nature is beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.
This was a lovely watch! My SO and I love taking our pup on hikes cause she's high energy so I always enjoy seeing other beautiful hiking spots from around the world. Thanks for sharing!
I haven't been to Hocking hills in years! It's still pretty damn beautiful from the looks of it. That's awesome.
Wow that's such a beautiful place. More of these please!
When it comes to being outdoors, what I really love to do too. Is the serenity of nature, to me it provides a bit of zen in a busy life. I usually just look for a nice place in the woods and I just sit there enjoying everything around me. I just wish we had such beautiful bits of nature over here 😂.
C'est magnifique du côté de chez vous, se poser dans un coin tranquille, juste écouter la nature et se perdre dans ses pensées ❤❤❤❤❤
Really nice recording from your outside trip Marz. And the right music for it. Thanks for this nature view❤❤😍😍😊😊
Marz, this vlog is like a breath of fresh air! 🌍We need more of these adventurous journeys. Much love to you!
