Sorry about your split man, been watching you both for years and now seeing so many of my fave youtubers either calling it a day or stepping back. I too have lost all passion for creating this last year, hit me like a tonne of bricks, but I'm actually glad to see others have felt or are still feeling the same. Always being "on" is truly exhausting so sometimes turning off and leaving ourselves cool down is something very much needed. Love the video!
Best advice I always tell myself: “if you don’t enjoy the process, then something has to change” I love the process of creating not the actual end result/posting. The process is for me. The posting is for everyone else 🙏💪
Great video Chris; thrilled to hear you're embracing "motion" and all the experiences that come along with it! Just please ensure you're not relying on it to distract yourself from problems in your life that you need to address; they will always come back to bite you if don't face them sadly. As always balance is key, looking forward to seeing what you do next!
This channel has always been at it's best when you're just making content that you're having fun with. Things like this and the Sony exec skits. Don't worry about us, make what you love and we'll love watching it. Glad you're back, Chris!
Proud of you Chris!! I love that quote about an airplane in motion that's such a great way to regain perspective and motivation. Life's tough sometimes and you continue to inspire and be an example for others! Great to see your content again ;)
Well said man, I’ve felt the same way recently and have tried to stray away from perfectionism. In a lot of ways I think perfectionism helps us find that initial success, but damn it can be crippling in the long run! Keep the content coming, we are here for your energy 🔥
Nice to see you creating again Chris! I’d thought maybe I was being a bad subscriber and wasn’t consuming enough only to realize you weren’t really creating as much. Kudos to you for focusing on yourself during a tough year. I hope this coming year brings great things to you.
Still got to watch the rest of the video! But mate welcome back, you do great content and it’s always appreciated… cos you’re a great guy and easy to connect with. Life is hard and I know first hand with what a sh!t it can be. But having focus and having an amazing following friends and family will get your mind off everything. Trust me ! I’m working on my life /creative journey ( and dealing with what’s potentially terminal cancer. Awaiting results. So seeing something like your great videos and getting out creating is a fantastic way to get out of the hole that is life.
Thank you for putting this video out! As a creator very early in my journey, I really needed to hear this. Just showing up and trying is the hardest part I think.
Great Video Chris! (Gab from Azores trip) - Glad you're finding your creative flow again! I actually really love this style of content, vloggy - discovering new places - but high quality optics with a fun storyline Keep it up!
It's funny how when u r at the level ur at, the mentality is that everything needs to be a banger video. But to be honest, i love just checking what yall are up 2. Just updates. Vlogs. All that i would love from all the people that aren't posting a lot anymore...
I really enjoyed the visuals in this vlog, but more importantly the vulnerability and the soul behind it. Thank you for whatever you choose to share. It is very inspiring 😊!
I've been feeling the way you were since the end of last year. Life has just been so busy that I don't even feel like creating lately. My wife and I have a theme park channel and we haven't been able to get to any of the theme parks lately with how busy our lives have been. The less we go the less I feel the urge to create lately. I def feel stuck at the airport lately.
This was so helpful. This is exactly how I've felt for the past six months. Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing your perspective on the situation. Also Yoshi, all day erdat 🤘
Mario was always my guy! Love what you do Chris. Just so you know, you're one of the main reasons why I had confidence to quit my job and go full time back in 2017! Appreciate it and would love to collaborate with you someday.
You are amazing dude! I am so sorry to hear about your separation this year. My wife and I separated this year as well and it’s caused some major reflections on my goals and where I wanna head. I loved your perspectives shared here and I’m excited to see whatcha create brother!
This has always been a thing with me as well, overpacking my loadout and overthinking..but here's what I discovered about the overpacking, when I don't take the thing I don't think I'm going to need, I or someone else i'm working with needs that very thing. So screw it, I'd rather "overload" my gear and not need something, than leaving something behind because I'm overthinking things and realize to late that I needed it. I have persistent tinnitus in both my ears, so as a coping mechanism, my mind is always on, so overthinking is often justs part of the package, but I've learned to focus a little more, so it's not all chaos and mayhem, lol.
yeah I do the same, when youre flying from the Uk to america you dont want to put anything in the hold as it has a habit of going missing, carrying on board can be a heavy affair, I was 14kg at the weekend and got warned, lucky really ha @@rayortega4831
Great to see you ramping back up on TH-cam. Sweetie & I have missed your videos. - Eric ZORK Alan & Sweetie [ Professional Poets & Bed 🛏️ & Beer🍺 Vloggers ]
Chris, if you read this comment, I want you to take a breath, and read, it, slowly. You are going to die. ok? so there's literally nothing to worry about, because you're biggest fear, losing your life, is literally guaranteed to happen. Give yourself a break, remember the downs in life are equally as important as the ups, because they both make you who you are.
After three days there are “just” 29K views. How do you honestly feel? In the video you feel pretty much fighting your deamons. I would offer you a chat (I’m therapist) but I understand it feels weird.. will leave it up to you 🍀
Honest question. When on experiences like the helicopter ride, how do you balance video and stills? I only have one camera and deciding how much time to spend with each is difficult. What if I miss a shot because I'm taking video? What if trying to switch to take a photo results in too short of a video to be usable? I mostly focus on photos for this reason.
For real tho - what character in Mario Kart are you?
always yoshi! Thanks for sharing Chris! Looking forward for your 2024's videos 🙌
TOAD!
Yoshi!
Toad :D
Deff Yoshi on n64! but now on the switch I tend to rock with Link more
We're all still here! Just make the content you want, we have patience ❤
Agreed!
Is this one of the best comments I've seen this year
no we dont and we dont care. dont lie.

I feel it too.
Welcome back buddy!!! That flight looked incredible
My goodness, I can't tell you how much I relate to this video, and how badly I needed to hear this. Thanks Chris, I hope our paths cross soon!

Great quote :)
Get to see you back creating and having fun! For Mario Kart I always played as Dry Bones 😮💨
Yoshi 100% best of luck man. 2024 is year of the vlog. Make stuff you want!
This was a very refreshing video. Thank you for sharing as always!
Great message in this Chris! Thanks as always for what you make!

Keep going man. I can't imagine being self-employed and going through your situation. Stay strong.

Love seeing your stuff Chris. Love those shots, perspectives, colors, and thoughts.
Great to see you back in action.
Keep those vlogs coming 💚

Wow that scene where the silhouette of Mt Fuji in the Sunset clouds is sick!!!!
I really enjoyed the visuals in this vlog, but more importantly the vulnerability and the soul behind it. Thank you for whatever you choose to share. It is very inspiring 😊!
Thank you for releasing this. I have been 730 days without creating till I just said screw it and dived back in.
Glad to see you back! Mega jealous of your trip to Japan and sorry to hear about the separation, but its onwards and upwards from here on out!
Glad to see your back, always looking forward to seeing your new videos drop.
This comment section makes me happy, we love you Chris always be yourself ❤

Japanese knives are the best... This would totally be me in Japan... sickest scenery... most hyped about the knife shops hahah.
I’ve been shopping at that knife shop for over 20 years; great people.

Welcome back. You've been missed.
great stuff man!!! love a vlog!!!!!
this is like Creative Therapy'.. I constantly overpack for jobs (especially filming in America).. constantly overthinking too..
This has always been a thing with me as well, overpacking my loadout and overthinking..but here's what I discovered about the overpacking, when I don't take the thing I don't think I'm going to need, I or someone else i'm working with needs that very thing.

My guy said Luigi… Hellz yeah! 🤘💪

You rock!

Let’s go Chris. 😎
Lucas did you edit this???? 😳
Lucas did! Crushed it.
@@thechrishau we love him.
That's funny when I lost one of my passion in 2023 as well. Welcome back, dude!
Missed your content like that one 🥹
Baby Luigi & Yoshi !

Love to see it.
Bring back the vlogs 🙌
Where all the photos?
Toad FTW!!!
Undefeated with Daisy in the Daytripper… forget which Mario Kart game that was though lol
Dude gotta be careful with that Luigi guy on your left, that's some psycho right there! Great vlog :)
After three days there are “just” 29K views. How do you honestly feel? In the video you feel pretty much fighting your deamons. I would offer you a chat (I’m therapist) but I understand it feels weird.. will leave it up to you 🍀
I feel great that 29K people viewed it. Thats a great number :)
I got a great therapist. Thanks for offering
Happy to hear that, honestly ❤
Tanookie is my go to!!😂
Last year I "Chris Hau'd" my first hostel stay in exchange for a video thanks to you 🙏🏼 I only had Shrek Kart and I was Shrek.
Heck ya!
You've got this
Honest question. When on experiences like the helicopter ride, how do you balance video and stills? I only have one camera and deciding how much time to spend with each is difficult.

Hiiiii
I was always a Donkey Kong guy!
I grew up with the Wii version and always rolled with Mario on the Mach Bike
I didn't know you and Liz split. I'm sorry. I'm happy you're busy doing you and getting to work less. :)
Kong!!!
Great video
Missed you Chris.
