  • 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!

    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! 💘 🐟 🐑

    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!

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! 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.
