TENT TALKS - Episode #1

The first episode of Tent Talks. Ryan talks about his journey into wild camping and how it has become a vital part of managing his mental health, from struggling with anxiety and depression during the Covid 19 pandemic to finding a love and passion for the great out doors as well as mental stillness. 

Getting outside of his comfort zone and adventuring into the wilds of the UK lake district has transformed Ryan's outlook on life and has given him a sense of perspective on the world we live in. 

Ryan uses episode 1 of Tent Talks to talk you through his why and to set the scene for future podcasts where he'll have open, honest, frank and probably hilarious conversations with other YouTubers who share his passion for the outdoors and to discuss their own relationships with camping and their why for doing it. 

The mental health stigma is slowly disappearing amongst men in the UK but it still exists and suicide is still the number 1 killer of men under 40 in the Uk so we have a long way to go. Ryan wants to use this podcast to inspire people to get outside and spend time in nature to just listen to themselves and escape the external noise that drowns out our inner selves in every day life. 

Follow Ryan on Spotify,  YouTube & Instagram @Yorkshire_Lad_Outdoors where he shares candid documentaries of his wild camping trips in the UK. 

Until the next Tent Talk....I'll see you on the next one.
