Well done for leaving that in. What a fantastic lady. I think you felt a bit uncomfortable in front of the camera when your misses was speaking about mental health. You probably realise that you are helping people out with your videos. Well if you didn’t, you are. Your videos are naturally calming with your voice and they way you explain things. Stay safe Paul and your family. Don’t be afraid to talk mate.
I'm glad to help even if it's just a little. Jo is a good catch. I dropped on very lucky
As a mental health nurse I totally endorse what the lovely Mrs M say mate. Love the way she tests the temp of the hot water..hahaha...Keep posting the vids..really helps me to see home from down here in Tasmania. Cheers.
Thanks Dave. I'm glad you liked this one. Wasn't quite what I'd planned to film but it felt right.
Well said jo, I know exactly what it’s like Having a mental health condition myself.
Your right, us men don’t talk about it and bottle it up.
Both Paul and yourself have inspired me to get out and start my hiking adventures all over again.
Hopefully I can do it without getting to much anxiety
Love the videos Paul, thanks for everything you do for the walking/hiking community
"Always sanitise your hands after sitting on the throne" - classic!
Can’t be too careful 😂
Lovely walk though, glad u got out for some chill time, so important. I did 11miles myself with the dogs on Sat morning along the Grand Union Canal near me. Saw about 3 people. Quiet, relaxing and sunny!
Chris Arnold we had a few people around but everyone was respectful of the distancing.
Likewise. Onto more positive news though, treated myself to one of those Trekology chairs and also the sleeping mat (£35 on Amazon so worth a try) - thanks for the recommendation
Well done for leaving that bit in. It's true we really don't talk enough about mental health. I'm starting to get like you with the cabin fever. Hopefully this weekend I can get out and break the mold 😊👍
Cheers Jason. The live-streams have helped a bit to be a bit more personal with everyone. Normally I don’t say much regarding my personal life. Thanks for watching
ANYONE suffering with mental health you must talk about it. I've been suffering for 8 months now and it really does feel better to talk about it and have people around you to support you! There are people out there to help you! Don't bottle it up! Your not alone! Chin up! Stay safe all of you!
You are certainly not alone. Speaking from experience the outdoors is the best tonic. When the black dog arrives take it for a walk. Worked for me. Keep up the great vids and hope we are back out for real soon.
My favourite part of the video is when you and Jo sat down and had a bit of a heart to heart. I have been working from home since March 2020 and it seems my daily commute is from the bedroom, to the bathroom, to the kitchen to my desk and a a daily zig zag between these locations. That and the colder weather of Canada makes getting out for hikes a little more of an ordeal but we are all in this together. Love your videos Paul. You have a calming voice and speak about hiking and camping at more the level of the average person. Some of these people who hike 6 months at a time is not something I can relate to. You are very relatable. Keep safe and keep up the great work.
Thank you for the kind words Cliff
That's for keeping in the video Jo talk about you & mental health also the bloopers that made me smile thanks🙂🙂 loved to see Jo in another vid be safe🙂
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
Lush video, gorgeous walk, your lady speaks a lot of sense and I’m quite sure all your watchers would be happy to support a good old chinwag about mental health, no matter what gender. Thankyou both for taking us along with you, very refreshing.
She's a good un. i'm a very lucky fella
@@PaulMessner I'd say she's a keeper! Really like to see her appearing on your videos.
Good to see a sensible and positive approach to getting out Paul. A day in the countryside is essential to me and many others and the importance of that shouldn't be underestimated. I enjoyed the wildlife too. Stay sane and best wishes, Chris
Nice to see you out getting some fresh air and exercise Paul. I wish I lived closer so I could do the same
Sandy
Thanks Sandy. Your little trip with the trail cam helped give me the kick up the backside to get out a little farther. Hope you're keeping well buddy. Stay safe.
Nice to meet your misses Paul. Funnily enough my missus just the other day advised on making those coffees a paste first before adding the main bulk of water, saves the nasty crunchy bits! Stay safe and keep up the wonderful videos and pay no attention to the odd negative person..
Thank you Nigel. I appreciate the kind words.
Way to go Paul...you make us so happy. May God keep you safe, happy and healthy. Lovely share. Thanks bro.!!!
Thank you. Best wishes to you and your family
Thankyou for bringing the outside in Paul. My wife and I are in week six of our twelve week lock down. Your video brought us some much needed visual and mental respite. Keep the vids coming...its our way of seeing beyond four walls. Keep safe and thanks again.
I'm glad you liked this one. Wasn't quite what I'd planned to film but it felt right.
14 mins really powerful and of all the things I’ve watched in your vids by far and away the most useful most meaningful !! Thanks for leaving it in
What a nice place. I'll check out a few more videos.
Please do! Glad you liked it
Thanks for taking us along with you - I found you when I was looking for information on stoves and have now subscribed! I spent loads of time in the peaks as a lad, and later had friends in Stockbridge and went out with a girl who was at Uni in Sheffield, so I have a soft spot for the area. I hope I'll be able to go back one day!
Going back through some of your old videos to get my inspiration fix at lunch during lockdown 3. Really enjoyed this one, especially glad you left the unscripted bit with Jo about mental health. She is right, that we as men bottle it all up, but getting outside is a fantastic release.
Well said Jo, men don't share there feelings, but when the dark clouds roll in, it can get very very dark. Paul you can always talk to your wife, buy that girl a G & T. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay strong and I look forward to you getting out and about soon.
Thank you Paul. A breath of fresh air for us all.
Thank you Chris. I appreciate the kind words.
You have a fine woman there. My wife is also called Jo and she is an absolute diamond and has helped me get through many things since we met - great video.
Must be great to have a woman who cares that much about you Paul , your a lucky man .
A bit different to your usual videos but I really enjoyed it. Nice to see your other half too. She talks sense when she mentions your mental health. Take care and keep up the good work.
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.
Currently under heavy lockdown in Melbourne. Originally from Worksop, so Sheffield was the place to go. Nice to se the Peaks. Good luck in your ventures.
Enjoyed that Paul. You have to get out and there is nothing wrong with that at all if you observe the social distancing guidelines which you both did. Enjoy it and don’t waste anytime thinking you are doing anything wrong. 👍
Absolutely. I can't see the issue as long as we are careful and respect peoples space
I'm lucky like you both, I have open countryside around me. So feel for those when in lockdown in a city
Great video Paul and an area I should explore more being so close. Hats off to you and Mrs M for chatting about mental health. As many have already said you’re not alone in this at all and it is something that should not be so taboo for the male of the species
Well said Mrs M.Men don't talk about mental health matters. Lovely video - thanks. I am self isolating having been in hospital twice in 6 weeks with pneumonia, so really live for these type of videos. Also - you have learnt to stir your coffee to get rid of the dried bits :) Us women are useful sometimes!
Get well soon Angela x
Hope you get well soon. Every day I learn something new. Thanks for watching
another great video what's a lovely place to walk on a beautiful day it was good to see you brought the kettle along this time
I think jo is brilliant and I hope you don't get into too much trouble it's good to see you guys mucking about and taking the P out of each other it was also really good that you left in your serious conversation and I must say I couldn't agree more and I don't see the problem if people are social distancing how far a walk is or how long it takes them thank you for your videos I'm sure they cheer a lot of people up Kev in Somerset
Cheers Kevin. We do like to have our banter. I think it's what keeps us INSANE haha
Been watching most of your videos as I am big fan of your channel. Somehow missed this one with great short emotional speech. I am sure that you are great, friendly, experienced and informative Geezer but it just showes that during these terrible and uncertain times you don't need a machine to break a man :))) Seems like there's still long way until the pandemic is over but the life is easier having around you someone supportive we all can relay on. Good luck Poul Stay safe.
Good on you for being so open about how not having the opportunities to be in nature can make you feel during this lockdown . Also showing love for beautiful Sheffield.
I'm glad you liked this one. Wasn't quite what I'd planned to film but it felt right.
Thanks for uploading Paul. We used to live just opposite Morrison’s in Hillsborough and regularly walked the dog along Rivelin. We had to move to Staffordshire for work but my wife especially loved seeing Rivelin again and made squealing noises every time she spotted a familiar rock or tree haha! Mental health chat with Jo was honest and important too so thanks for keeping that in; something we can all reflect on. Stay safe and keep making videos. Would love to bump into you on a walk one day when normality returns to say thanks in person.
There's a sense in my town (Austin) that a couple restrictions will ease up this week. A couple restaurants and maybe even a church or two. I don't have cabin fever as much as I miss the structure of a set schedule. When you questioned what day it is..LOL..that's exactly where I am.
What a lovley video ,, thank your good lady for those lovley insights into to how we’ve all struggled with house arrest,, she’s bang on and getting outside has been so important for us all.. keep up the great vids chum.
Thanks Mark. Jo is a star
Made me laugh when she put her finger in that Chilli bottle 🌶! They’re bloody good aren’t they! Every day’s a school day pal, got to love those powdery bits 😂🤣
Well said Jo! Great video and I agree... going out for a longer walk is essential for some. I’m managing about 10 days before I need a long walk. Keep up the good work. ATB - Julia (UK)
I used to live in Sheffield and then visited often. It's been a few years since I've been now. Thank you so much for allowing me to virtually revisit one of my all time favourite walks. I cycled it once up to redmire reservoir. Loved it.
Hey I’ve been to Sheffield and remember those stones across the river 😁 they’re pretty fun! Aaand of course I have a picture sitting on that throne 😂
It’s lovely. You wouldn’t think you were in a city.
Great to see you putting out so many videos at the minute Paul, just what we need at the moment! Take care.
She's a keeper, great vid.
Excellent video paul 👌🏻 your good lady knows how us blokes work...👌🏻 I’m much the same. Keep well.
Absolutely. We aren't great at some things.
Great video Paul. Don't apologise for going out walking. I do exactly the same.
Thank you. We shouldn't feel guilty for leaving the front door.
Hi mate. New subscriber here. Loving your stuff. Some points very close to my heart here regarding mental health. Four years ago I had a cardiac arrest and ended up in a coma, turns out ive got a rare heart condition that was lying in wait. 18 months later I had another and the implant Id be given didnt work as expected. Back to hospital and under the knife. Ive always been a tent camping fan and love being outdoors, and was working on getting into wild camping before all this happened. My confidence in myself has long since gone and though ive always been predisposed to some mental health issues it all really hit the fan after my troubles. Now in lockdown its like a pressure cooker. Your videos, content and presentation are a fantastic way for people to enjoy the outdoors vicariously through your efforts and you must give yourself that credit. Another thing men aren't great at is accepting achievement, and you've achieved alot in your efforts on here and you must see that effort in the bank of positivity whilst we're in the mire of lockdown. Take care and take it easy and thank you again
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. I hope all is good with you and your family. take care
Well done Paul done the same in my local area walked a few miles the other day use common sense tears all that's necessary. Never forget we are law abiding people that shouldnt have to feel we are doing anything wrong as we love the outdoors . Great video tab Dave 😀👍
Thank you Dave. We felt guilty for walking al little further. It shouldn’t be like that. We walked from door to door and never went close to anyone. No harm done.
Absolutely no harm done Paul just common sense was used all the best
Great video. I'm fortunate to live on the edge of Sheffield too. I was brought up on walking along the River Rivelin. One of my old haunts was the Holly Bush pub at the start of the trail. when I was just old enough to consume alcohol.
Came searching for this video after you mentioned it in a more recent one. Thank you for sharing your feelings about lockdown. I know exactly how you feel and also recognise how hard it will have been to decide to leave that section in the film. I am so glad you did. One of the thing I really appreciate about your channel is your honesty. Another is Jo - please do keep making appearances Jo, it is so rare to hear a womens point of view on camping/walking videos and you often represent those new or a little hesitant to begin - you both, between you make this backpacking/wild camping world seem so much more accessible to those of us who would never have considered it before - Thank you. Keep going.
Thanks for taking the time to search this out and your kind words. I've passed the message on to Jo so I'm sure she'll reply too.
Thanks Sharon, what a lovely comment, as long as he lets me I’ll keep tagging along. Take care x
Stay safe Paul & Joe, thanks for the vid!
Thanks, you too!
Yeah you're right Paul Herons are usually gone by the time you're within 15/20 meters. Sensitive creatures. What do they say? 'when down and lonely observe a heron taking flight.' Nice walk. Mark
RE Mental Health: (Jo) She is a gem Paul and she is point on the button! Many a military wife with her thoughts guidance care for there men wife's are with this level of care are in the premiership!
Thanks for keeping it real, you make a good team. Stay safe
It’s amazing how much higher the water is this time of year to when you Filmed this
Cheers for mental health discussion. Not alone. I also didn't talk about it for my entire life. But my wife and friends picked up on it during lock down and encouraged me to see my GP. I ended up breaking down while trying to explain everything to my GP. Not being able to escape to nature and explore something new has been destroying me and my ability to cope. Our state is looking to reopen national parks this weekend, so I'm looking forward to getting back out.
Thanks for another fantastic video Paul. We had a lot of the same concerns during lockdown about being out longer than an hour etc, but came to a similar conclusion to you guys, using common sense and being responsible. I thoroughly enjoyed leaving the car at home for weeks on end and discovering new trails and paths locally. We are about a 20 minute walk from Malin Bridge, and every day as we walked we commented how incredibly lucky we are to live here. As far as mental health goes, the black dog does visit, but taking it for a walk as someone commented before (I shall be using that phrase, just brilliant) has helped me in so many ways. Keep up the great videos and maybe bump into you out there at some point. Thanks, Mark.
Well done, going for an occasional walk like this has approximately zero risk of spreading or catching coronavirus, and approximately zero risk of using NHS resources for any other reason.
The statistics are only just coming through showing that a large proportion of excess deaths in recent weeks are due to causes other than coronavirus.
Taking care of your mental health is a cornerstone of a happy life.
I tend to agree with you Jonathan
Beautiful River Walk Paul and to see a Heron up so close is very unusual, Jo was so spot on with what she said and she is right us Blokes dont talk about our Mental Health, and we do Bottle Stuff up and then Explode, What a Lady you should take her out with you more often on your wild camps,I think we can Learn from the woman as they seam to be more open about there Mental Health than us Fellas,Stay Safe You Two, Les.
I drive down Rivelin Valley many times a week living up in Wadsley but never walked it. Will have to once this is all over.
It’s gorgeous. Well worth checking out
Hi mate, your vids are the only thing keeping me sane working through this lockdown, I always look forward to coming home after a long shift with abuse from customers to one of your videos, I usually binge watch your old videos because I've watched every one I think 😂but thanks for the content
I think all of our sanity is being tested at the moment Jack. Hang in there mate
Enjoyed that, so helpful for those who cannot get out due not only to lockdown but health reasons too.
Very well said Jo, couldn’t agree more 😍
Wise words from Mrs messner, you have been told lol . Nice escape Paul atb Dave
I met you in Worksop Paul a well known supermarket and have followed your channel for a while now. Your vlogs are great. But this one is so pertinent and I believe your best yet. Your mental health is so important.,Essential, well done Jo for opening him up. Great to see and hear. Stay safe both of you 😷😷😷
Thank you. I do remember. Glad you are still enjoying the videos. Take care.
I'd missed this video somehow having subscribed and watched many of them. Although it's nearly a year old its still relevant to this day. Well said Mrs M. Clearly your 'rock' and she says it as it is. As others have said Mrs M talks about MH openly and I guess you felt a little 'reserved' when she was talking about it. I notice you make a passing reference to it in other videos but fair play you could have edited the content out when she talked about how it effects you so well done to you both for leaving that in. So many people will be able to relate to that. The walk wasn't bad either !!
a lovely walk! great camera work Jo.. never in my wildest did i imagine i'd see Paul twerk!!! and thankyou for the great words on how crap we are at looking after our mental health. ATB to you both
I'm glad you liked this one. Wasn't quite what I'd planned to film but it felt right. apart from the twerking of course haha
In New York we can be fined $1000 if we're caught having an afternoon out like you spent with your wife. That's a lot of outdoor gear! Our restrictions may ease on May 15, which isn't too far off now. After 43 days already spent indoors, 18 additional days should be a piece of cake!
Servant fetch me some mead 😂😂😂😂
Oh dear the kettle, the tea towel 😮😂
Nice stroll out that looked Paul 👍🏻 nice one.
😁 I never got the mead...or a punk ipa
How wonderful to have such a lovely pathway so close to home. Take care till the next one.
We are lucky
Brilliant!! A great natural video of you both enjoying a walk in a beautiful location.
I don't feel you should feel guilty about a walk from your home. It may have been a little longer than the recommended hour, or so, but as long as you kept your distance from other people I don't see the problem.
Nice to meet your other/better half.
Like you, looking forward to getting, properly, out and about.
My grandfather was shipped from Sheffield to Canada as a 7 year old orphan and now you've placed Sheffield and the Peak District onto my bucket list. Stay well!
Great video and walk Paul your wife is mint great and wise words stay safe atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
STUNNING footage mate! well filmed and edited.
I must so that walk some time.
great to see you out with the missus and opening up about cabin fever, we're all suffering mate and an hour out the house really does help.
'Does it get any better than this?'
Hope to see you wearing that Tshirt soon mate
all the best
Paul
Fantastic video Paul,, for 2 reasons,,
1, great to see such a more natural different style of video from you m8,, and 2, I spent my childhood and youth in and around Rivelin, was great to see it again,,thank you, 👍👍
That area is downright gorgeous. It's so odd to hear you aren't allowed to be out for more than 1h (in Denmark we just need to keep the 2 meter distance and crowds below than 10).
Being out and walking makes wonders for ones mental health. Keep it up!
Good lady there mate. Great video 👍
Stunning place to walk and a place full of industrial history similar to the north east. Jo is correct we dont talk about this stuff enough, I'm guilty of that mate. I'm the same as you now I'm in need of getting out as it's been 7 weeks now but might head out tomorrow morning maybe for sunrise if I can drag my ass out of bed lol. Anyways hope yous are safe and well and hopefully catch you in a few months for a wildcamp 🤞. Atb Steve
It's a lovely place mate and it's right on our doorstep. So looking forward to getting out again properly and catching up with you guys with a beer and a view over the lakes. Take care buddy and catch up soon
Reminds me of places in oakhampton Devon,especially tor down , UK , you can't beat it 👍
Riverlin valley used to be my play ground as a kid. I lived up Stannington for 18 years of my life.i didn't recognise much but funny enough there was a stone that look like a big ramp into the stream on the left that I remember very well as I tried jumping it on my bmx. It didn't end well. I must have a walk up one day with the family. I still live in Sheffield (Deepcar). I often visit Lock stock gun shop at mallin bridge. Anyway another excellent vid it was nice to see and share your walk. 👍
Thanks buddy. We have family in Stannington and a stones throw from Malin. It’s a lovely walk and right on our doorstep. Stay safe 👍🏻
What a lovely video Paul.........loved the sanitising bit !
Words of wisdom. You're a lucky man. Stay healthy, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Looked a lovely walk mate, and can’t believe how close you git to that Herron! Take care, and stay safe
Ash
We were surprised to Ash
Paul Messner just read through a few of the comments below, people can be such idiots! Do you get hassle a fair bit with the amount of people you have following! 🤦🏻♂️
Just subscribed really enjoying your videos learning a lot from then .(cheers).
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for sharing these great views with us! Good to see you are getting out for these walks. Love your content, Paul!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Mark
Good to see you out and about again big fella,the relief was there for all to see,your Mrs talks a lot of sense,remember the old phone advert Paul,it's good to talk.
Great walk will have try myself one of these days. Good mental health, is mental wealth. Whatever keeps you sane mate. All the best.
Cheers buddy. Stay safe!
Great vids Paul. Can’t wait to camp again :)
Same here
Hopefully we can all get out soon.
Great video guys, you lovely lady is spot on mate.
Paul , that was a great video. You’re making me all nostalgic, I love the Sheffield/Peak District border. Me and my dad used to walk up through Stannington woods, right up to Bradfield and round the dams. And then a cheeky pint at The Royal in Dungworth 🍺😊
Glad you enjoyed it. They are all on our doorstep.
Beautiful images!
Hi Paul,brought back memories of when I was a young boy fishing for Trout in the river and dams ,playing in the river and buying ice cream and sweets from the old Post Office used to live at Lodge Moor, fished Forge dam and the Porter grew up in that area in the 1970s Good Memories Thanks Paul!
Great video and so so glad to see mental health chat 🙏🏽so important ❤️ blessings to you both, many thanks for sharing the beautiful outing 🤩😍❤️🙏🏽 very grateful 🌳✌🏽
Great video. Thanks 👍
I am off work for at least 3 weeks from Friday I plan to use this time to learn how to make walking and camping videos for UA-cam
Sounds great! Look forward to catching up with them
Another great video 👍
Thanks Gavin.
Bravo Paul, well said, I'm ex military, I love the out doors, I love to wild camp, its a simple release, I've had my dark days and the future is brighter, thanks for the vid ATB Glen
Great video Paul, lovely walk beautiful area, hope you feel better, glad you was outspoken about mental health thanks for sharing and keep safe 👍
Thanks Paul for keeping those extra bits in. I think you will have connected even more on a personal level. Lockdown is important but our governments need to allow us to use some common sense. Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there who may not know what common sense is. I also enjoyed the history lesson and the reminder of how beautiful the uk countryside is. Greetings from Canada.
Wise words John. I'm glad you liked this one. Wasn't quite what I'd planned to film but it felt right.
Luv it mate!!!......Love Riverlin, literally at the bottom of our Rd.
Same here mate. Nice to have this on the doorstep
Thanks for sharing, Paul. It was a pleasure to watch. Fantastic scenery! So true, about mental health. Stay safe out there
it beats walking around the park
It sure does. Thanks for watching.
That throne comedy was top notch
