Craig Harrison - One Of The Worlds Best Snipers - Open's Up About Mental Health & CPTSD
Craig Harrison is a former British Sniper who served over 20 years in the British Army. He suffers from CPTSD & Suicide Idlisation daily, yet STILL lives on with purpose & a great attitude towards life. A perfect first guest on the HCM podcast!
Despite his service & sacrifice to his country, it took only 30 minutes for him to get discharged & told to never return from the army.
In this video, he tells his story of how he went from wearing his mum's hand-me-downs as a kid with nothing, to becoming one of the world's best snipers holding the world record for the longest confirmed shot. Inbetween telling us a few funny stories from his book - The Longest Kill (link below) - he also talks to us about what it takes to become a sniper, how he manages his volatile mental health day to day & what he has in store for the future.
As this is a new channel, any support is massively appreciated with likes, shares & all of the usual stuff! Although we've set the bar high by having Craig as our first guest, I promise that our future guests will be High Caibre Men in their own right. So please subscribe.

We agree! Too many interviews of Craig being asked stupid questions for click bait. So we wanted to take a different approach & get a slightly different message accross 😁

@@highcalibremen exactly my thoughts! You’ve done an absolute amazing job of interviewing and bringing out CRAIG rather than what he’s done. Fantastic questions and charisma from you ❤️ watching these interviews makes me feel better about my own CPTSD from being in an extremely abusive home growing up

@@highcalibremenWant to second many other opinions here. Top job of an interview this was and having followed Craig for a bit he seemed more at ease with you lads compared to many other videos.
I’ve watched pretty much all of Craig’s podcast appearances and this is easily the the most I’ve seen him laugh and smile it just shows you how much of a funny bloke he is when the ptsd and what not isn’t as present as usual, loved this one 🙌🏻
Well done guys. A very true representation of this incredible man. I was fortunate enough to share time with Craig last weekend at The Maverick Survival School and hearing his accounts first hand was incredible. To know that his life was offered up so many times to the armed forces and they pushed him aside without care or support is disgraceful. What he has managed to achieve and continue to work towards is awe inspiring. I enjoyed every minute of your podcast and the interview approach. His open nature is truly visible here. Well done to you and your team.

Subscribed, class interview mate.
Awesome bloke good luck to him!🥊
The best interview I’ve ever seen that stopped me being a piss pot tonight. You talk of many hard to broach topics and I can fall in line with most. Used pot as a distraction from alcohol for many years after a relationship break up from my soulmate. Thought I had found another soul to be close to but got ditched weeks before I proposed. I’m 45 with a big family around me and feel I cannot talk to any of them- broken without reasonable repair. I’ve tried talking to my closest brother but it doesn’t seem to help/work. I see the drug/alcohol issue head on daily and have lived in a haze. Also grew up in hand me down or 2nd hand gear as a kid I’ve been to uni but being constantly told, you’re the first in a family heaps a lot of stress and pressure. I didn’t get a degree but took my dad’s trade and got qualified as a bricklayer. Construction is still a man’s world and I suffered from the abuse of being the only one who could add up at times. Plus the physical beastings to prove you are up to the job. So many things ring true in this interview I will be in touch with Craig for a few words Bravo Fellas and thank you ❤
Excellent interview loved it
