    The guy climbing the coconut trees is built like an NFL linebacker naturally chilling and hanging out in Samoa the other big guy that went to locate crab in the mangroves is as big as an NFL offensive lineman those people in Samoa are truly impressive physical specimens and they were so kind as hosts

    I had a similar experience in Molokai, Hawaii. If you stay at the big corporate owned resort, you’ll be treated to a nonsense corporate experience. Polynesian people are among the finest human beings on planet earth. Stay with them. Live like they do. Your eyes will be opened and your soul will be humbled and fulfilled. God bless the islands and the people of the islands.

    Gosh i just put a trap in the stream out back. They say a doctor brought some Samoan mud crabs to Oahu in 1920 and now they are in all of the streams in all of the Hawaiian islands as well as the bays where the streams meet the ocean. Tasty

    Taku . Straight into the video and no introduction and endless music that keeps repeating over and over again. I’m Proud of you my Cook Islander brother. Your videos are the reason why I only watch UA-cam videos. I don’t watch Movies anymore because they are predictable and WOKE. I know creating a new dish is very difficult and my advice to you is watch Vietnamese fish dishes. They are my number 1 . From a Aitutaki Cook Islander . Samoa people I’m proud of you for keeping your traditions alive

    Never had that kind of crab. Other kind reef crab and mostly ama ama from my Grandparents village in Vaitogi. Not bad though for first time. Last time I climbed was in Hawaii Laie side at the beach, 1989? Didn’t use the shirt though, scratched up my chest and a lot of ant bites. Awesome video, Thank You for sharing.
