I speak openly about men's mental health in front of the fire while grilling an elk steak after a long morning of still hunting for deer through the forests of Canada. Please let Joe Rogan, Keegan Allen and Donald Trump Junior know that I have tagged them in Haze Outdoor's Show Us Your Steak Challenge, encouraging men to speak about men's mental health and how it impacts their lives. On this day in 1918, the allies signed and Armistice agreement with Germany ending WW1. To this day, we celebrate that day as a reminder of the cost of freedom, in Canada we call it Remembrance Day, Veteran's day in America. Please thank a veteran and remember that the stress trauma often leaves indelible marks on the minds of our brave heroes and that those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder need our help and understanding. Mental illness comes in many forms and if we can speak openly about it, maybe we can end the stigma that those with mental illness deal with.

Hi Shawn, that elk steak was cooked to perfection. The man who tagged you knew what he was doing and couldnt find a better man for being able to talk about how he feels about himself when you feel like you havent done as well as youd like. You are a great man to do all youve done to make your dreams come true. Yes you have hardships along the way, and you are an open man who can talk easily about things. You certainly tagged a great man when you tagged Joe, couldnt find a better man who I think is great for the job. I lost a very young nephew to that terribly sickness. We were bowling the week before and he was laughing and having a great time. My sister called me the week later and told me what happened. No one knew, not even my brother or his wife! They were devastated. His brother was crying and said Id just like to shake him and ask him as to why he would hurt everyone so badly? We all loved him, and he said nothing as to why he did this! He was so young and left behind two small children and a wife who loved him dearly and even she did not see this coming. If only like you said Shawn, if he could have talked about what was wrong and bothering him, and got him to the point of killing himself! This is a very great and important issue to help people to open up and talk of their feelings when things are not right or why they feel that way. God Bless everyone involved in this its so very important. Thank you Shawn for your feelings and show that its so very very important for people to open up about what is bothering them. Its so sad when they cant.

When I saw this I thought it was about steak, since I savor so much of your cooking. It was actually much better because of something close to my heart. My career in the US military, especially overseas. I cant to my wife about this because for her PTSD is just about overthinking. Im glad I have a group that I went to of combat veterans from all branches and the last three military conflicts. You think you have your demons under control and then a flashback comes at you. I heard about these, but never experienced it until a few months ago. Its affected my health, my digestive system is not working very well. Then my mother died in the middle of this nightmare. I was her primary caregiver and one of my sisters began helping me earlier this year. You dont have to serve in combat to have gone through trauma, that first post left me shaking my head. For me, have a prayer and spiritual life is important. Being outdoors, I always felt I could talk to God and He was there. Im struggling with my gut, but its slowly healing. Hoping and believing that going up to some canyons here in AZ and further North this weekend, will lift my spirit. Please dont be embarrassed to get help. Even if your spouse cant complete understand (like mine. As I found this group, so can you. There is more worth living than taking your life. I know, Ive been there.

I will be honest, I stopped watching your videos once I wrote you through Facebook and you seen the message and ignored my question, I thought wow is this guy really who he says he is, but I must say I came back because watching these videos are very relaxing, I have been diagnosed with mania bipolar, anxiety disorder and add at a young age, I have to battle my thoughts from the moment I wake till I sleep, there isn't enough mental health awareness where I live and I have had friends turned away at hospitals here after telling a docter they are suicidal, more people need to realize that mental illness effects everyone differently, we all don't have the same symptoms or handle situations all the same, but before I go I have to say you have pushed me to follow my dream I've had since I was a kid wich is living in a cabin in the woods and living off the land, currently looking for a perfect land area to build, amazing videos and keep them comming

Thank you! This issue is very serious as you know! Those of us whove been to war and work or worked on law enforcement and fire, do have some problems with what weve witnessed! I always tried to keep my focus on what and why Im doing what Im doing! Those I helped needed help, whether it be a serious injury or they were a victim of a crime! As for war it was kill or be killed, at the same time I felt sorry for those people whos country we were in as they were victims of terrorism as well with terrorists amongst them making them do things they didnt want to do! I do go through times of depression but nothing serious as some people Ive seen and spoke with! I do my best to pay attention to those who do have some sort of mental issue! We all have our avenue of relief! At times mine is watching Shawns, Doug Linker, Joe Robinette videos! I grew up hunting and trapping Michigan as a kid and young adult! It brings back fond memories

I'm a retired firefighter (34yrs) in the UK and have dealt with all that the job throws at you. Been retired for 12 yrs, last year my wife had massive event that was diagnosed as bowel cancer, its caused flash backs of a particular incident I attended back in the '70's. It stopped me dead in my tracks, whilst trying to be strong for my wife and faimly at this uncertain time I buckled. I spoke at length to someone at the Firefighters Charity, so pleased I did. Things have picked up and we move on with life. A direct comment to Shawn. You can only guess at the good you've done for me and thousnads of others that follow you. You may not feel or choose to think of yourself as inspirational but please know that you are.

I appreciate you doing this. My sons father committed suicide over 10 years ago. Jeremy was 9 and it is so true that he denied being depressed and when he finally admitted it and went for help he took med two days and committed suicide. Changing the lives forever of those who loved him. I was married to him and I am a nurse, and still couldnt stop it. It isnt talked about enough. and depression brings people sometimes to a place where they feel there is no way to go on. when people all around them love them so much and without them is unfortunate to say the least. Life changing for everyone

Hey Shawn, thank you for your comments on this issue. I just want to say (coming from someone who has attempted suicide, but is female) that sometimes the reason people don't share is because they don't think (and rightly so) that any one will understand. The best thing a person can do for someone who has mental illness is to say something like Hey I don't understand where you are coming from but I am here and will listen. Then follow through. Again thank you for your thoughts. By the way I am doing so much better since I got counseling and developed a support group.

Hey Shawn,
I'm a 30 year old guy from Sweden, who been watching alot of your videos lately. I'm very happt to see that you have talked about mental illness and especially mental illness in men. One of my jobs right now is being part of an organization that goes around schools, workplaces, counties and other grouping to talk just about the importance of sharing your feelings and struggles with others.
I think connection or feeling connected with other people is one of the most important parts of life, thank you for sharing your thoughts. :)

I'm glad you're talking about this important issue, I find a lot of men don't want to talk about it out of a feeling of others not seeing them as masculine or fear of being shamed by others. My marriage partially ended (among other equally important issues) because I was afraid to talk about my anxiety and I also afraid to be seen as unworthy to my family and peers. I wish I had known then what impact it would have in my future life and I hope this encourages other men to open up. Thanks for everything you do.

We discovered your videos about one month ago. My husband and I have watched every episode. Just a note on this video regarding mental health and you reaching out to Joe Rogan and others. My husband wanted me to leave this comment because he suggests including JordanPetersonVideos. He is a clinical psychologist and professor at Toronto U. A fellow Canadian. I wanted to leave this comment to tell you that I love Callie!
