Big Island w/ Kimi Werner - Spearfish Bowhunt Catch and Cook. Wild Roasted Lamb Friendship Adventure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Kimi Werner goes on another friendship adventure to the Big Island. She explores Mauka to Makai (mountain to ocean) and leaves her comfort zone of the underwater world to try new things like bow hunting and surfing. She visits Haloa Aina (link below), a native forest restoration project that plants native trees and manages the over-population of invasive species such as feral sheep and pigs through simply using subsistence hunting. She is guided by her friend Justin Lee on a bow hunting expedition, in hopes to cook a feast for a special birthday celebration. Buddy also gets to see his first waterfall ever!

I love Kimi's energy, very warm and caring, but also a complete badass.
You know she's momma bear if necessary 😊 I call my mom "5ft of fury"
What a lovely family. Surfing, bowhunting, fishing...... Man ,you guys are living the dream GOD bless you.
Buddy is so so so lucky to be able to learn all these things! He’s going to be so knowledgeable about how to grow and hunt his own food but most importantly to be so close to nature! Wonderful job Kimi! Love to visit Hawaii one day, especially because what you show on your channel! 💘 🐟 🐑
Thank you!!!

Hoping that there are less hunter haters after seeing that there is respect in the harvest of natural game.
I love the reaction kimi! 🤣🤣 “i feel alittle bad 🥰”
So good to see people that simply LIVE instead of "doing the job of living".
A pleasure to watch, as everything Kimi shares.
Happy for y'all.
Thanks a lot!
Kimi's mad face when missing the first shot was *exactly* Buddy's mad face.
That's the same exact thing I saw as soon as she made the face. Like oh! There's Buddy!
Haha omg you are right! I would’ve never noticed that!!
Living in New Zealand 2021 Feb 24 eating lunch, awe your entire whanau family

That was truly beautiful to see you come to da big island where Hawaii of old still trives and the Aloha spirt and ohana means everything. No doubt I speak for all here you and yours are loved. As young mom and dad you guys are awesome. Doors open come any time you like.
Mick
Aloha Mick!
That was ONO guys. Miss the islands. Thank you for the great adventure. Aloha and mahalo🤙🏼
I've followed you for a long time, Kimi, and I really appreciate these videos that bring us along on your excursions. I appreciate all you have to share and teach, and I am grateful that we are able to experience so much through you. I really admire the way you live your life, respecting all aspects of the planet and the circle of life. Also, it is such a joy to see Buddy experience such a beautiful life with you and Justin! Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you Megan! We appreciate you watching and giving feedback. It's so encouraging.
Love that you thanked the sheep for feeding the ‘ohana ❤️
Love this episode, Thank you Kimi.
🙏🏽🤙🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽
Your reaction after you shot the ram! 😆 but then, the looks when you folks cooked it, looked like it taste so wonderful! Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙏
Hey you guys, it's always wonderful seeing beautiful families like yours. Thank you for sharing these precious moments of your lives!
Another fantastic video. As someone who grew up bow hunting with my father, I felt your excitement... and the range of emotions that come with the experience. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing also!
Love this episode! It has me teary eyed because we can't gather yet.
Thank You Kimi what a amazing adventure. So brilliant to see the two great sides of Hawaii .Sea and Land .This is definitely a beautiful video. And yes I know that Ram was calling you. All life on Mother earth is precious and deserves respect. You definitely did that sheep justice. Thanks too Justin the Man . Sweet brother.
Absolutely loved this video! Could be biased since from Big Island! Lol. Anyone else started whispering as well when they were!?! Lol I started whispering and was like "wait why am I whispering!?!" 😂
Until the next adventure!!!
Thank u kimi and ohana for giving us another big island adventure.... buddy is the true star though... lol I love how u include your many friends and family and also your continuous positive messages about conservation!
Sulang (thank you) for sharing your adventures with us!
Ever since we celebrated our first trip to Hawaii-any island 🏝 (40th Wedding Anniversary)we have truly fallen in love with the Aloha spirit and how everyone made us feel like Ohana!
I love your videos, Buddy (as a Nana) and the ONO food you make! 😋
Mahalo for everything! 🤙❤️❤️❤️
I had been hoping that you all were going to show some bow-hunting at some point and y'all really delivered.
I appreciate Kimi talking about the different mix of emotions and adrenaline that she felt after taking down the ram because I think it's one of the things that has kept me from trying out hunting/fishing ("maybe I'm just not cut out for it if I would feel bad after doing so?"). Seeing her manage those emotions and seeing her mental process as she comes to terms with that has really helped give me a push to try it out as I aim to eat more sustainably.
This episode was really amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much ❤️
I really was celebrating with that second shot. This is amazing!
Wonderful video! I’ve harvested a lot of whitetail with my bow. I think if I ever don’t feel sorry for the animal it is time to quit. Respect for the animal is first!!
Hi Kimi, wow you are a woman of many talents!!!! Amazing! I am sure sweet Buddy is going to be even more talented, he is learning so much from you and hubby, grsat job of teaching him life skills and not forgetting about your culture. Loved the video! You never disappoint, that meat looked soooo yum, my dream is to buy a farm and live as close to nature as possible, like you guys 👌👌♥️♥️
another great talk story...
just never know what you are gunna do next...
exciting adventures..
I love your videos Kimi! 😊 Mahalo for sharing this mauka to makai adventure! ❤️
Awesome work by Háloa Áina! Wonderful to see ʻōhiʻa lehua and pueo : )
Honoring the circle of life (thank you dear sheep & fish for giving your life and sustenance). 🙏
I aspire to live a life like yours. I love these videos
Great collaboration! I’ve also enjoyed seeing Justin’s contributions to Ryan Myers’ spear fishing channel. My wife and I hope to escape the “hectic” life here on Oahu and settle into a more natural setting on Big Island someday soon. Thanks for showing us all the true spirit of malama aina!
Thanks for the adventure and no complaints here. Also, the small kine chuckles here good story.
Aloha Big Isle 🌺😎🤙
Nothing like having a close circle of friends and family! Awesome video
What a beautiful life you have looks amazing I'm so jealous. Wishing you the best this new year
Buddy is getting so big already!
Love your video's from one local girl to another❤❤❤
You are so blessed to have access to great family and friends thank you for sharing
Happy birthday! 🎂🎁🎈🎉 Nice shot Kimi 🎯🤙🏼🤙🏼🌴❤️
Your cinematography has come so far so fast. Love the vids as always and highlight of every Thursday! 🤙
I’m from Oahu but I’ve been living in Colorado for the last 3 years. I just love watching your videos they just always bring a smile to my face. Thanks again
Thanks for watching!
Amazing scenery, amazing videos!
I love these Big Island videos! Maybe I'm just biased though since this is home for me haha
a beautiful home :)
Sorry Kimi i know it's your channel but I'm here for Buddy the Cutest Baby ever
Yup, did you see him grab that leg and tear off a bite caveman style? He's grown so much, so quickly.
@@michaelwittkopp3379 “bite and rip!”
😊😊😊
Your videos always make me so emotional! You are truly an inspiration to me, as a woman and as a mother. My little one is a desert rat, we like to explore the Mojave and the canyon lands of the southwest. I feel like her and Buddy could get up to a lot of trouble together :).
Great show! Love Buddy..always steals the show.
Great video finally got to see a hunting trip 👍
Love the subsistence hunting.
I needed this. A decade ago we fell in love with the Island. Taught my first little one to snorkel before 2. Bought a place there. It has become part of us. Looking to hunt more there in the future. This was beautiful. Mahalo nui loa.
Nice shot Kimi, you got the “blue bone special”!... You ramble hard with a humble soul & that’s truly a rare combo.
Sorry we missed you guys & can’t wait to meet your little man.
Lots & lots of Aloha
Hana& Tiff
Damn! Kimi is now the sharp shooter of Maui. Wow, I had to watch that shot a few times.
Great video! I live Big Island but i see more places to seek out 😊Thank You 🤙🏼
Me and my husband are your great fans, Kimi. Buddy is so adorable. I hope he has more exposure in your videos. :)
YOU CRUSHED IT KIMI !!!!!!!!! That was amazing!!!! But was was really funny was when Jason Lee told you that 2 inches off center is still a kill shot, (I agree). But when he's shooting with Ryan Myers, and Ryan just misses by an inch or two, he rags on him endlessly...... So funny, it must be a guy thing right, LOL.......
Awesome video as usual, great moments, wonderful family sense, but what i really love are the deep messages and meanings of life that you are able share. So genuine, so real.
I really enjoying watching your vids! It's really good to see Buddy enjoying so much! Hafaloha❗️🤙🏽🙂
Born raised Kona I’m native Hawaiian lived off the land was part of the Ohana’s way catch what you need and share with everyone
My most favorite video ever. This should be called "the old hawaii with modern skills. Everything in this video is hawaii in the old ways. Gather and provide with ohana. 🤙🏾
So true!
So good that i have subscribe to this channel so i can enjoy something pure and real wich is no easy to find in youtube ,at the same time is instructive and full of joy and love. See the beauty of the waters falls and ocean . The food look to much delicious. . Other time ill see the funny dogs wagging the tail. Buddy looks so happy. So good to pray and harvest for your own food what you need to eat. Waoo amazing correografy. best entertaiment

Ok this was just beautiful. I felt so many emotions,.. thank you so much!
I did too!
Buddy is so cute! We're raising our child, born close to the same time, the same way. It's so cool to see his development and get ideas from you for continued safe exposure. I feel guilty when I break away to do things that are necessary. It's nice to know we're not the only ones.
One of ur greatest episodes ever! U are Legend Kimi!*****
This is one of the most EPIC VIDEO I've ever seen. Wow Kimi this awesome thank you so much for sharing this video 👍🤙👍🤙👍🤙 mahalo

I love this so much. Simplicity and gratefulness for these ways of life 💕 I’m from the big island and this captures our islands essence so well
Thank you Kimi, bless you and yours.

That was a fantastic video! It made me feel really good watching it. Thank you for posting, Kimi! Please do more hunting videos!
Thank you! We are hoping to do more in the future!
Lamb is my favourite! I was just telling my social worker yesterday how I love making a really cheap soup out of lamb offcuts. The fat is what makes it good!
sooooo good!
Such a wonderful video Kimi, thank you so much
I get so excited whenever there’s a new upload, your videos make me so happy every time Kimi. Thank you🙏🏻
Love from Malaysia!
Great story !
Great shot Kimi! Even more impressive that y’all hunted and filmed simultaneously :)
Thank you! Justin Lee did most of the filming!!
You guys are the coolest!!
Was that your first sheep? Congrats! Kudos to Justin for coaching your hunt on point. Wish I could find a woman with a nature rounded attitude like you. Very rare.
It is my first sheep! Thanks Kevin!
Buddy is so lucky to have such loving awesome family and parents. #tobuddy🐏🐟🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Sorry i was bit late!!! Love your videos!!!!!
This was awesome! Thanks for sharing your hunts. Spear fishing is on my todo list! Great job.
I thought I saw you and Perrin at Honolii last week!!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I love all of your videos 😭 they make me want to explore my country.
I adore you since I watched your video just this day,and your 1 of my Idol now live you kimi,hope to meet you 1 day and join you in your next adventure❤❤❤
Awesome! Thank you. I had a similar experience, only yesterday I caught my first fish as I recently started spearfishing. I felt a variety of overwhelming emotions after the kill and now a day later, my head is still trying to process it. The compassion for the prey is going to be there always and I hope to be strong enough to manage it. If I have the courage to eat it, also I need to be courageous to kill it, and sustainably be part of this beautiful planet.
Thank you very much for making these videos, they are all very inspiring.
Mahalo love to see home land. Love you all aloha🤙🏽
Kimi and Justin hunting. Can it get any better than that?
Great Shot!!
I love your vacations!
Enjoyed ur video. Hugs for Buddy. 💕
You channel just keeps getting better & better!
Thanks so much! We are having fun making these!
Big time respect to you Kimi.All of you
ALOHA! I miss the Big Island
