Hi Chris, please don’t worry what you talk about. If you want to talk about your anxiety, please do. Your a great guy, a great human being. Your uploads are great and anticipated every week.

This channel is worth 100 years of therapy

Chris... Let me tell you something I think everyone here will more than likely agree on.... You seem surprised people watch you, buy you coffee's and generally like your "little channel"..... Let me explain why in a very short sentence.... You mate, are a normal guy who loves what he does, is not afraid to say it how it is, including talking about your mental health and above all, Youre just nice bud. Pretty sure everyone here would be happy to go out for a beer with you... You're like everyone mate,.

I think this whole world is covered in a thick blanket of anxiety right now. Started in 2020, and we are all feeling it. Sometimes it's worse than other times, but it's always there. We all feel it. Your talking about it makes you all the more relatable. Love ya man! God bless!

In Sunderland's embrace, there's a lad so grand, Whose love for the wild is simply unplanned. With a smile as wide as the river Wear's tide, content in his soul, a stealth camper, bona fide. Resting at a beauty spot or concealed between wheelie bins, the dorsal fin in a shopping trolley, the laughs keep rollin' in. Little Mick, a man of few words, exhudes a gentle ease. Chilled out to the maximum, surrounded by woodland trees. An encounter with a creature of legend, a tiny fearsome Sasqautch, left viewers dumbfounded and in awe, definitley one to watch! Time for an aperitif, (a few caramelly candingos), two cans of Madri for the renowned mandingo. Though he cares not for the limelight, Little Mick's legend shines bright. Honest content guaranteed, The Bonny Lads gets it RIGHTS. Reviewing a dram from a land afar, two whasky connoisseurs, searching for that champion bottle, the pair - far from amateurs. The beak delves in for a good old sniff with eager expectation, in tandem their eyes sparkle as they savour each sip, quelling the craving. They discuss the nuances of this weeks brand, emphasized by the gesturing of Blot's right hand: "Rough but smooth...mellow but bold", you know it makes sense and it never gets old. "Sweet but sour...clean with spice.... I tell you mandingos, You better believe it's Rice!"

You might say you're not about mental health on this channel, however many experts say that the best thing for your mental health is getting out into the Great Outdoors. So by showing how easy it can be to go camping, you're encouraging mental health. And I think people get a feeling of simplicity and peace by watching you. 👍

Chris, I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder back in 2019 after my daughter was born. Still suffering now but finally opened up & got the help I need. Thanks for your videos, it gets every week off to a positive start. ❤ MICE ONE LEGEND

Mate you're an absolute legend. Its just brilliant you talking about anxiety and how it affected you. These are issue everyone goes through but people hid it away. I think it's fantastic being so open minded and honest about it. I watch your videos every Sunday night with the family .

It’s always okay to talk about anxiety. Chris. Never feel like you have to bottle it up with us. I suffer myself and have suffered a fair share of attacks at stressful times. It’s a lot more common than people think. You be yourself mate. You’re a legend, much love and respect Mandingo.

I can’t find the post where someone said it makes their anxiety better cuz they watch “our OG Mandingo Friend” I’d like to add, watching Mandingos videos makes my depression better whilst watching his videos. I find myself smiling all the way through the video. Thank you so much. I know all about anxiety & your only human “our Mandingo Friend” love your videos! ❤😂 👍🏻 just makes sense 👍🏻 😂

I for one, support you and your problems with mental health. It shows inner strength to talk about these things. Your symptoms sound like you had a panic attack caused by anxiety. I have bipolar disorder and panic disorder and have hundreds of times had symptoms like what you described. My problem is anxiety which is very different from depression. I have great safety net from mental health services, had therapy for four years and taken part in a couple of courses of mindfulnes and all these have helped but it has taken me ten years to find the best help for myself. Please get help by seeing a professional. Talking about your mental health makes this channel better because life isn’t always only good vibes and fun and you are a real, intelligent person with problems that so, so many of us have. Great video 😊

An outstanding place to camp Chris . People often ask me how I can always be in such a good mood, especially living with a brain tumor. I just say that I’m not always in a good mood, I keep to myself when depression hits. I don’t want to burden others with my issues. I try and remember that most things are temporary and pass quickly. I’ve said it before, but your channel has kept me in good spirits during rounds of chemo. 🤙

Yeah Chris! I’ve been watching all your Stealth Camps lately. They’ve been a great way to relax and absorb your positivity! Appreciate you mentioning your anxiety, much respect to you. And so exciting to see you doing this full time now too!

It’s ok not to feel ok sometimes, your show helps my anxiety on a Sunday night ,about going to work in the morning thanks for that,keep up this fantastic channel this is wot RU-vid is for 💪

I applaud Chris for his courage in opening up about his battle with anxiety. It takes a lot of strength to share such personal experiences, and it's evident that he's doing it to help others who might be going through similar struggles. Chris, you're making a positive impact by shedding light on this issue, and I hope your story inspires and supports those who need it. 🙌 Keep going, Chris!

Mate I hope you feel better and keep healthy anxiety is horrible keep happy sound guy

Hi Mandingo since losing my mother 2 years ago to COVID I've suffered from anxiety attacks and such . I find been open and talking about it in anyway helps me. Or going off for a night camping crosswords sunsets etc. Make me feel better . Your a legend with many supporters on this Channel keep your chin up Don't ever feel like you can't talk about what your feeling. 😊😊😊

Your videos absolutely cheer us subscribers up, your like a breath of fresh air, a normal bloke! I’ve struggled with mental health all my life, I absolutely understand you, take care. The mind is a strange machine!

I love "a few secondas" and "chickourney weaver" gets me without fail every time 🤣

I’m in nyc and his adventures are the most fun entertainment in my life. So great to see these places - everything from camping to take aways. With people I have come to love like I do friends. This is why the internet is a very good thing. It gave me my blot outdoors channel! And my beloved Chris and little Mick!

Bless you Sir Blot. I suffer with anxiety. You are a ledge, you make me and many others laugh. Down to earth, honest and hilarious. Love ya mate even though we probably won't ever meet. Keep on keeping on Chris. Love to the other Chris's and Schmick. Your family and dogdingos too. X

Glad you're feeling well again Chris. Love listening to a down to earth, sound fella. Alot of us can relate to you.

I for one enjoy your channel. As someone who suffers daily, I am absolutely delighted that you open up at least a little bit it makes me respect you and this channel even more.

Blot I found your channel about 2 months ago I’ve been watching all your vids eveynight while the kids and misses are sleeping struggling with my anxiety atm I get all them feeling aswell I’ve just left a job I hated to do my passion tattooing full time I just hope it works out and I’ve made the right choice your vids take my mind of things for a little while keep doing your thing mate 💚

I like how blot leaves the dislikes on 👍 What a legend 👌 thank you for your 1 star reviews 😎⭐❤️

Chris mandingo there is no shame here my friend, we all go through problems. I personally have been through hell mentally the last few years ive been cheated on, been to prison, self harmed, addicted to drugs, you name it ive been there! Your content is extremely valuable to people such as myself its nice to know your not alone in your struggles if you know what im talking about!

I suffer from anxiety too. I have the same symptoms as you. I am now on sertraline prescribed from my doctor. It’s anti depressants and takes 2 weeks to start working. I did not tell my wife or anyone how I was feeling until I ended up having an anxiety attack and my wife had to ring for an ambulance. Look after yourself 💪😁👍

Another absolute classic Chris. Loved it. Don’t ever worry about talking about whatever you want. I’ve never watched a channel that has so much of a positive effect on me and, undoubtedly, every other one of your fansexuals. You’re an absolute legend, and we all feel that we know you personally as a real mate. 👍😀

Chris, you’re an absolute legend. We love you from down under. Oooh Matron. Lol ❤

Chris, my anxiety manifests itself very similar to yours, when it happens I just need to be in bed asleep on my own , it's so debilitating I feel week hot and shake my mouth dries up, and I yawn and I can only walk with my hands behind my back...strange I know, feel scared and just shite mate, I was on meds for 2 year but I've just come off them, fingers crossed it may leave me its so hard to explain I cycle walk eat well don't drink either but when it comes it just bang happens out of nowhere.. your not alone face it up best u can and don't let it beat ya

WIld camping being illegal in England is so ridiculous

One incredible camp by one incredible guy, speaking so freely and open saying what most of us don’t have the courage to admit to others and talk about, massive respect and all the best 💪

I am recovering from CFS and anxiety symptoms and such... and your videos have helped me relax and recover. Thanks I also watch them at night to help me wind down. Thanks for doing this. Your an absolute legend! Greetings from Chicago. God bless !

Been suffering from anxiety and depression my whole life. Fuck it! Try to get up when you are down, and keep pushing forward when you are up. This is a neverending rollercoaster...

Brilliant! Love your videos. You are the epitome of a proper English boy. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

Sorry for you anxiety mate. Don’t ignore it but know there are so many people who follow you and think you are awesome. ❤

Dear Chris, im in awe and appreciate you a whole great deal 🫶🙏 i love the outdoors, love sitting looking into a campfire, grounding, i am almost 10months clean of heroin, im not totally sober, i do drink a brew sometimes, ive been selfisolating, with bad anxiety/ptsd and depression, i moved Cross the country long way from good friends, and You and YOUR videos, gives me relief and inspiration 🙏🫶 and i would love to walk alongside you, and talk shait all night in front of a campfire ❤ never stop m8. From Denmark with ❤

Chris. I think the way you are getting anxious about being out in the busy streets is somewhat similar to our journey. Since we sold up the house etc and moved into our van over 4 years ago we find it hard now to go into busy places and feel far more comfortable being out in the wild or nature, or even very small campsites away from loads of people. I'm guessing after doing so many videos being on your own you have connected more with nature now than any other time of your life. As for the support you are getting from us all, I would say that a lot of it is because you are just 100% yourself and not pretending to be anything else for the sake of 'RU-vid'. Great vid as always. I think another coffee might be on the way. 😁👍

Hi Chris sorry to hear about your anxiety episode. I think it’s liberating for people when you talk about it. Very common increasingly. I’ve had it, something, someone in public places sets it off. Difficult times we live in, there’s the genuine bad news and then there’s the way the media spin it. Very hard on people.

Canny cave mind and a real nice walk in the daylight but would not fancy a solo in the dark there, far too spooky. My daughter in law suffered with anxiety so something I knew well but good that you have highlighted it without being too depressing. Never seen those crocodile packs before and at first when you said "Not bad" I thought, I may give them a go but when you said "they smell like shit" I went right off the idea! How on earth you slept to 10.00 I do not know lol, cheers Alan

Why your some steady camera man in the whiskey review 😂 love the video!

Evening mr Chris Mate you had some nuts sleeping in that cave .... I kept expecting Dracula or so.e dirty big rat to make an appearance... Great entertainment Thank you 🤣🥃

Massive respect for talking about your anxiety mate, both myself and Laura can both relate to what you're saying. So many people out there afraid to talk about it for whatever reason. All the best, James and Laura 🥃

I would also like to add if I met that I was 325 lb I am now down to 180 and I was in the hospital for 5 weeks out of a 2-month period just a month ago I coded and had to be brought back I'm still not 100% and I was told I may not be but watching you with your stealth camping and your wild camping and doing the things that I absolutely enjoyed to do means worlds to me please keep up doing what you do. Bless you for everything. Keep the videos coming.

HaHa absolutely love it! twice i was proper pmsl... amongst the other laughs... You tasting your gift... "tastes like shit" 🤣😂🤣😂 and by the time you got to do the World Famous whesky review half the bottle was gone! 😅🤣😅🤣 Love it! so entertaining!!! Keep em coming Chris, you know it makes sense! 👍

i just smile when your videos start. and my cheeks hurt from grinning like a waskey fuelled mandingo for an hour

I respect that bud, im not watching to hear misery, im watching to see you have camping fun, good food and drink.

Another classic camping video! I must admit that I thought little Schmick was going to jump out of the dark somewhere in that cave! LOL Camping always does the body good so get out as much as you can. I wish I still could and when I get my back fixed I too will be doing more hiking and camping... Best wishes from across the pond! And CHEERS!

Cracking video Chris.

i honestly dont know why but theres somehing i find so comforting about watching stealth camping videos, reminds me of the sound of rain that sort of comfort. would never do it tho 😂

Love it chrisdingo , still enjoying all your vids 😎💯👍🏼 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , looks cosy in there too Cavemandingo 🍻 20:20 😂😂😂 cheers for that ,,,,quality .I had a birthday card with just a grain of rice in it no name , must have been of uncle Ben , or just Ben now 😂 top Mandingo give messi a fuss from me 👍🏼❤️

The Blot Outdoors Show. You know it makes tents.

Your great mate that's why we watch you and support this channel you know it makes sense 👍👍👍

Love the stealth, love the wild camping and love the low food reviews! Question: Poor Mick, the human dorsal fin, is still limping around with that bad knee he got from body surfing. Can he not get that puppy repaired extending out his camping experience. I feel so bad for the schmickster, the human dorsal fin. Keep up the great work Chris you Mandingo. A tip of the cap to Mrs Blot.

You loved that croc jerky Captain,salute you sir

Making sense and touching hearts all the way down in kent

Don't worry Chris, I struggle with Anxiety and depression. You and the bonnie lads always cheer me up. Your channel should be prescribed on the NHS.

You are living the life Chris , enjoy Mate Crocodile Rock 🤣🖖👌

Me and our kid had chickoni weaver last Sunday. This Sunday it's silence of the Lambs with a few Candindos Mandingo. Great video Blot. Nice to see Mrs Blot on your videos mate. Rights 👍

Funny you mentioned busy shopping mall that type of scenario, I'm exactly the same mate, they aren't "natural" places for a human to dwell, remember that. So your reaction ain't unusual. Typically they are windowless eh, busy, loud and lots of stimulation and warm, none of these things are what you'd call relaxing! Give me a walk in the woods anyday. Love to ya mate, you're a decent bloke. Bless her Mrs Blot for picking up on that, she is a diamond mate, cherish her. And be nice to yourself. Mice.

I only found this about 5 days ago, looking forward to going back to the first one and watching them all. "IT'S MY FAVOURITE THING ON RU-vid ALREADY MANDINGOS!!! (you know it makes sense) I give this show an easy 10/10!😛I love it...........................................

You're a good lad you are Mr Legend - you know it makes total sense......rights 👍

Great vid as always Chris👍you need to get that cat back on at the start of the video it’s hilarious it makes my cry laughing every time I see it 😂

You seem like a very likeable bloke. You remind me of people I used to meet at parties back in the 90s. Love the channel. Keep it up.

I love to hear you talk about it Chris. I hear ya, the channel is dedicated to good times and laughter, so not all the time but I don't think you should shy away from talking about it occasionally, it's helpful to others going through the same thing, so please whilst not all the time, please do talk about it again

42:03 When mandingo enjoy he's food so much and rolling he's eyes 🤣

Suffered from anxiety most of my life brother and I know it can be draining. Weight training seems to be the best form of self medicating for myself it’s helped me a lot. Chin up bro I love the channel and always watch your videos. ✌️

I also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, however rare they are they are absolutely terrifying. Thanks for sharing, it's funny how I have been watching your videos to overcome my own anxiety! Thank you dingo mandingo.

I agree with other comments that Wild Camping being illegal is daft. Another good vid Chris keep strong

18:00 Thanks for sharing mate! Not every man can talk openly about it! I know I can, and I want every man feeling like shite to open up and talk to a friend or family. It is helping a lot :)

Chris we all deal with our mental health - just keep on keeping on - you are the best!

Hi Chris, I’ve been watching your content for awhile and this is my first comment. Please, don’t feel bad about sharing your stress, totally get it and proud of you for opening up… Love you mandingo and keep your head up❤️

Good on ya mate. A nice quiet cave in the rain to reset your mood and remove the anxieties. Very therapeutic, I reckon. LICE!

Chris!! I’m a first time viewer from New Zealand + I just wanted to say that I actually only found out about you because Grizzly Gaz/Fendy 🐾 mentioned your channel in one of his videos.. + I’m so glad he did, you’re super awesome! Love you loads already 🏕️ happy days!! Your accent (+ singing 🎶) is choice too! Thanks for the giggles 🤭

I started watching your videos during a time when I was really struggling with anxiety myself, I watched them every night for weeks, still watch every one now. You’re a legend Chris. Talk about what ever you like, cracks me up just listening to you. Any plans for anything special when you hit 50k??

Chris, therapy is what makes you feel better about your existence here and keeps you feeling even keel. I love watching your videos and it helps me relax after a long hard day 👍 by the way, what’s with the glove? Do tell.

Respect mandingo you put a smile on my face on Sundays, watching you, with a thatchers, nice❤👍

That was brilliant loved it you need to get that cat back at the start of the video Awahhhhhhhhhhh😊

Yey, turned it from 999 likes to a thousand! Good camp Chris, see you Friday Mandingo. RIght.

Mandingo, I can't thank you enough for talking about anxiety in this video! It resonated with me so much as I've always struggled with anxiety but yesterday something happened that made it flare up really badly and I have felt dreadful. Shaking, feeling sick, crying, losing my appetite, but honestly the worst thing is it feels like every nerve in my body is on fire and my brain just won't stop overthinking. I woke up this morning and that feeling was still there, like a ball of fire/anxiety in my stomach making me feel sick and I couldn't shake it. My partner convinced me to go out fishing with him and it was miserable and raining but it was exactly what I needed. We walked up and down the river spinning and just being out and nature and focusing on something else helped me massively. Gradually that ball of anxiety in my stomach started to fade and things felt much more manageable. I feel emotional watching this and hearing you talk about your experience, because it couldn't have come at a better time. Your videos are always a source of calm and joy for me, but this one really hit home. Thankyou for that ❤ You're a top bloke! 👍

Hi Chris,mental health is good to talk about you helped me when I was in a dark place and your symptoms are exactly the same as mine and it does just come on out the blue .. your doing the right thing and slowing it down with a more relaxed camp .take it easy buddy 👍🏼

Chris, loved to hear this more personal side although I’m sorry that you also go through that. Being in nature always makes me feel better :) Glad your feeling better. Rights!

Captain..Caaaaveman!!!!!! ha ha rememember that kids cartoon? well ya lived the life of one now. ha ha. cool place to camp mandingo. very peaceful. Anxiety? yeah could be all that solo camping mate, im the same. you get used to being alone. Maybe you do need a good night out round 'ze pub' with all ya mates matey. get back into the social swing... or not. its all good tho dude. Talk away if it helps. You got plenty of ears to bend. ha ha. your doing fine. Youve helped me out in my times of darkness mate. seriously. so keep it up mate. chin up. keep calm and carry on. The stubborn brit way. ha ha. see ya on the next one. rights. 👍👍

Mate, it is okay to talk about your anxiety if that's what you ever want to talk about - I know it's a private thing for some people. You say if you can help a handful of people feel better with your videos then you're happy. Well, there's more than a handful of us ready to listen to you anytime if it makes you feel better too. Class video as always mandingo!

Chris...total respect and admiration for you disclosing how you've been feeling of late. It's becoming more common in folks unfortunately in recent years. You have good support from your lovely missus, schmik, subscribers and no doubt heaps of other friends and family. Talking it out really does help. You're not alone in your anxiety brother. Go easy on yourself Chris.

The Blathered outdoor show 🍻😅😅

Chris mate, love these videos your awesome. You crack me up, the mrs has a giggle in the background too. Great vibes 🤙🏻

Blot aka Chris I love you dude thank you for your brill videos , 📸 Ur a legend,,

Love your vids!! Thanks for sharing about your anxiety

Oh Matron...the glove of Nastiness!

Hi Chris, just enjoying looking at your dark cave, oh matron!!! My wife said are you going to message Chris and tell him how much he could have helped people with what he told us!!! I don't think you understand Chris how much your fans care about you. My dad died suddenly on Wednesday and i already suffer from anxiety and depression and that has sent me into a bit of a spin. Don't ever feel you have to hide how you feel or if you are struggling. It all just adds to your channel and the fantastic person you are. There are so many people who want to support you. Don't think it will make your channel like others just because you're honest. There is only one Chris Blot. We love love you mate . If there is anything we can do we will. It doesn't matter where you are, we would still try and help. Much love and peace to you and the family Blot. Love Si and Share (Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands)😊❤❤❤

Fantastic Chris and Sunderland won ❤

Brilliant video Chris😍👍..What an excellent spot Mandingo 😁👌🏻…Top stuff bro. Cheers Robert

Captain caveman 😂 Another brilliant camp 😊

Get on the Ale mandingo 🍺🍺🍺🍺👍
