Just great- traditional knowledge passed down to the younger generation…. Too good and very impressed with their wealth of knowledge… Thank you for showcasing Fijian Village life
Bamboo Cannon; called "Faga Ofe" in Samoa ... back in the day, we used welded pipe cannons with a small fire hole, they gave quite a loud blast; fun times. Happy New Year Uraia and family there. Alofa atu
Yeah aye uce, it was bamboo we used first where they get the name faga ofe, and then we found out metal pipe made louder sound. But we used to have a little fire burning under the hole to heat the ofe or the pipe, pour gasoline and blow it then light it. The good memories with the neighbouring villages who had the loudest faga ofe.
Love the lifestyle there in your village Uraia uce, wish I could come live there. My mums village in Samoa is called Fagaloa well known for there kava, so similar to your village where everyone helps the other , when one family gets a box of food from overseas it is shared out to the whole village. I love watching your video cos it reminds me of growing up in Samoa having not much, but love, laughter, and eah other. Much love from Sydney.
@@uraiatabua my uncle was telling me a few years ago that they export kava to Fiji from their village. It's very strong and taste very nice, easy to drink not like many kava out there.
Parents in the west having heart attacks watching the kids playing with knives and walking around barefoot, and playing with matches and fire. 🤣🤣🤣Love it
Oh Yes I STILL REMEMBER THOSE OLDEN DAY’S WE IT TOO IN SAMOA. WE CALL IT FAGA OFE,,,,,,WE ALWAYS HAVE IT ON XMAS. AND NEW YEAR. THE YouG ONES LOVE DOING THIS BAAM BOO GUN ,,,FAGA OFE.. ❤❤❤❤ Well have fun….
Loved watching this!! Reminded me of my childhood days here in PNG as well. We had similar playing tricks and techs. Thank you for sharing from Fiji. With love from PNG
Lol “Faga Ofe” translates to Bamboo Gun😂 and yes we do it too here in American Samoa😂for Christmas and New year🔥 great memories, good times😂😂Bula from Nu’uuli village American Samoa 🤙🏽
Vinaka saka tale vakalevu TuUra with the young guns of Navuti..Thank you so much for the upload..Looking forward already to more wonderful uploads in 2023..Do ever stay blessed..
Back when we where kids me and my cousins from Tonga would make these, out here in the States, Bay Area. Called it "Pitu".... We'd make it out of aluminum Cans and duct tape. They would hit so hard that sometimes the whole thing would bust open, the cops would come then we was out!😁👍 Good times
😂😂😂😂 bula from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 damn made me laugh so much the boys are very funny aye keep up the good work n showing us what life on the island is like
Yup...brings back memories. Burn my eye brows and eyelashes when the bamboo Canon exploded. Wasn't funny then. It's funny now. Looking back at it. Lots of tell tell signs that the Canon was about to explode. We just wanted to see who's Canon was making the loudest bang.
We do it here in Papua New Guinea too. I know how loud it is. Its too loud the phone can't record how bombing loud it is. I did a recording too myself.
Ayeee it's a regional thing i guess, we do it here in Solomon Island as well 😀 ..only difference is we use yellow bamboos, they're thicker and is louder i guess 🤔..but hey...Happy new year to the team bro 🙏
This is awesome 👌, you've came up with the bamboo gun. Haha. In my country we we also use bamboo gun, especially the kids. We don't use big bamboos but smaller ones, the wild bamboo. 😊
Belated Christmas 🎄 and new year greetings Uraia and crew. Been away for the holidays at a remote place with no internet access it was wonderful 😊 😀 hope you and your family had a great Christmas and new year break 🙏💚
I love when the John said it's cagurus broken English 🤣🤣🤣 I'm not teasing you John I'm also from Fiji my village makes salt my village is Lomawai and navutu😁

Yes they are experts, especially waking up the adults when they grog too much the Night before. 😂 Josese will be back once the festive season is done in the village 😁
Bamboo guns are actually illegal in Fiji. They have been banned for a few years now, but village kids still use them for fun. A few kids were badly burned during this previous festive season and this is due to bamboo guns exploding on them. Please be careful kids. Adults, please protect your kids lives. Some kids did not enjoy their holidays this year after they got burnt.

Bamboo guns are actually illegal in Fiji. They have been banned for a few years now, but village kids still use them for fun. A few kids were badly burned during this previous festive season and this is due to bamboo guns exploding on them. Please be careful kids. Adults, please protect your kids lives. Some kids did not enjoy their holidays this year after they got burnt.
Thanks for watching 😊
Apparently the laws aren't so strict with all the bamboo cannons being fired when I was in the village during New Year's
