There were several reasons; one of the main reasons though i think is that, in the first Crusade, Pope Urban II said that if you fought in this war and died, all of your sins would be forgiven and you'd go to Heaven. This was a HUGE deal back then cause you could go the other way (if you know what i mean) for the smallest things, and no one wants to go there. Another reason was money; they would pillage and raid the cities and towns they entered. Others just wanted action and adventure, but there are probably many answers to that.
Religion that is Christianity was extremely important during the medieval period. People had a real fear of dying and going to hell to burn for eternity. As a result the church could 'blackmail' people into going on Crusade by saying that if you go on Crusade to Jerusalem you will automatically be forgiven all your sins. They also said that you would be forgiven any sins you commit in the future. People truly believe that they were to free Jerusalem from the 'infidels" so a lot of them willingly went on Crusade believing that they would do this great thing and be saved by God from being killed.
Many people were willing to go on a crusade due to a combination of religious fervor, the promise of spiritual salvation, and the allure of adventure. The Catholic Church played a significant role in mobilizing support, framing the crusades as a holy mission to reclaim the Holy Land and protect Christianity. Additionally, socio-economic factors, such as the desire for land, wealth, and social status, motivated knights and commoners alike to participate in these perilous expeditions. The sense of community and shared purpose also fostered a collective enthusiasm for the cause.

The reason people were so willing to face hardships in the war was because they wanted freedom and independence from Britain.
