    Love the progression of HERC, welcome back James!
  • @colinfurze
    Great to have James and everyone come see the tunnel and try the weightless machine, still makes me feel sick watching him spin like crazy on that seat.
  • @zacvidyasagar8208
    It feels like James looks genuineily happier as the video goes on. So great to see him healthier
  • @maxnaz47
    I think this is the first Hacksmith video i've watched for the creator instead of the creation. I enjoyed the personal touch, your family, the history and to then get Zyla and Colin with some fun and adventure, was an all round awesome journey that i felt apart of. Thanks for sharing!
  • @itsbombervr8611
    Colin Furze is the UK equivalent of Hacksmith, so seeing two of my favorite engineering channels come together is absolutely incredible
  • @Noone-lw6ge
    James, I'm not a engineer, I'm a biochemist. I also struggle with depression. I wanted you to know you're a inspiration for me. Since I can remember I dream about making fictional stuff reality. And when I saw you put such an enormous amount of effort into making fictional stuff reality. It was just an inspiration
  • @mjlnirswrath9782
    I’d love to see more videos like this. It’s not often I watch a video to catch up on how the creator is doing, but in all honesty, I hope you’re doing alright mate. Keep at it.
  • @TheOnlyToly
    I can't say how good it is to have you back, James. More importantly, how good it is to hear you're doing better!
  • @the_doug_digital
    It’s wonderful to see James doing better mental-health wise. It can be easy to forget about the man behind the camera sometimes
  • @rarestarball
    We are so happy your back. Time for the Hacksmith, back into action.
  • @arcticgaming1970
    James out here saying the stuff most are afraid to say, depression is hell but it’s good to see you working through it
  • @MrChrisluke42
    Mate, so glad you're doing much better. You've been incredibly brave by being honest about your struggles. Keep going my friend, sometimes it feels like it's one day at a time, but suddenly a year or so has gone by and you're free and clear. Big love bro x
  • @KingCovfefe
    The frank openness on mental health is honestly really refreshing; too often it seems there's pressure to hide any non happy emotions. Glad you're doing better, and looking forward to seeing more awesome videos!
  • @Felixium22_TTV
    Glad you’re doing better mentally, man! Man, imagine this: you’re trapped somewhere on a mountain and instead of a helicopter, this person with a jet pack comes to your rescue! Oooooh that would be so cool!
  • @kalidor2299
    This sure was a "feel good" trip. Had a stupid smile the whole video. Great filming, crazy angles and awesome editing. Nice to see Colin too!
  • @larnregis
    11:00 James at Gravity: It's like witnessing the Brothers Wright flight through the eyes of an enthusiastic engineer who is allowed to try flying the first plane and see the constant improvements being made over the years.
  • @codylawler2498
    I’m glad doing better buddy, I know the struggle is real sometimes a little to often. It’s good to have you back in a happier state of mind. ❤
  • @NathanExplosion25
    I love seeing you and the team build stuff, but this is possibly my favourite video to come from your channel in a while. Seeing you gather with some of my favourite youtubers and just having fun was great.
