Knocked it out of the park once again. Just great!
Les, you have an amazing way of describing food. Actually, I never get bored of watching you do things from Survivorman to Wild Harvest. You are a legend, man.
Thank you for continuing to make film. I've been watching your stuff since probably 2007ish when my high school outdoor ed teacher started to show us Survivorman. Your filmmaking and style make me feel incredibly at home and safe for some reason. I'm glad that you're making new media now that Survivorman is in your rearview but you also give breakdowns of Survivorman. I live in the UP of Michigan so much of what you've taught about your own local areas translates and I've used a lot of it personally when in the woods. Bravo, Les.
The people of Belize are beautiful. Their culture and food will forever remain as two fond memories.
Les makes every shot and frame so delicious to watch just by the way he comments. Everything is so natural and smooth, simple, minimalistic and right. Great show!
Disclaimer !.This series just gets better and better,more exciting ingredients, What a source of goodies to find, collect and then beautifully educated to us, prepared and cooked both by two exquisite chefs at the top of their game. Wow indeed in abundance. Great touches with the camera crew lightly in the background playing their part, Lovely touches with re-education on pronunciation and working with pure ingredients. I have luckily experienced pure cacao, un-purified- Keto man I am. I bet Chef Paul was pleased in the harmony of working with Chef Ed Mendoza experimenting sea delights. Great show, presentation of high quality. I am sure this was a great experience for everyone, show casing Aggressor adventures too ! Congrats
I'm not an outdoorsman at all but watching these and survival stuff always fascinate me. I like to think about wild edibles and sustaining nature and all that
Les casually diving 60 ft, admiring the scenery and floating back up on one breath.
Les even has his bandanna/skull cap on under water!
We should all greatly appreciate the great content Les(and his team/crew I am sure) has been putting out for decades now.
Thanks!
I've been watching anything Les Stroud related since back in the day, and have loved the Wild Harvest series just as much as all the other content. I was delightfully surprised to see my first Culinary School instructor, Chef Mendoza on this episode. Please don't ever stop making the Wild Harvest episodes with Chef Rogalski, there aren't words to describe how much I love the show, the knowledge, and the passion you all share with the audience.
I love that Les is getting to eat like royalty after all those years eating the creepy crawlies for us. Cheers!
The scenery from the boats amazing. Open air kitchen. Nice.
outstanding as always
Out of the box. That's adventure.
I love everything about this show. The cinematography is great. I like the calming reserved music. I like the respect shown to the ingredients and sustainable foraging practices. The editing is fantastic. How the editor used the music to connect to actions on screen work so well. And of course, Paul and Les are great. Les isn't afraid to give criticism when the food doesn't quite work and Paul always prepares visually stunning dishes with a great connection to its ingredients. I can't speak for how they taste, but if they look as good as they sound and look, I'm sure it'd cause me to have the reaction of the food critic in Ratatouille. Les gives us what he's always given us: a passionate attempt that always strives for honesty, practicality, wanting to create something of value and uniqueness.
Paul - "If Les doesn't like the food, then obviously Les doesn't like the food. End of story. But Les isn't going to not like the food. Les is going to love the food, and do you know why? Because of the implication..."
Great episode guys, but I couldn't help but be reminded of one of my favorite It's Always Sunny episodes. Looking forward to more Wild Harvest!
I've said it on previous episodes but man do I love this show.
Sir I do love what you share with us. Thank you.
What a great show Mr. Stroud and team. Thank you!
man I enjoyed this series. really makes me wanna cook more wild stuff
Man, I can't say that I've had a non-spiteful envy of the things I've seen on this show until now. I don't even like the ocean that much, but seeing you guys on that boat, drinking rum, and eating that fresh ass conch curry really hit me this time. Something I want to do now.
Les I watch these but not all , but this episode I really , really liked 👍
This episode was really fun and made me exceptionally hungry! What a great adventure and the food appeared to be phenomenal.
Good morning brother and everyone else thank you for sharing this information etc.
Loved this episode Les!
I love that your intro is formatted that I could juat pick this at random as my first episode.
Like how Amazon was my first Survivorman as a kid when discovery was playing tf out of it on re run
This man is an international treasure
Omg you guys! Every time I watch an episode I'm like ok this is my favorite so far!! But this one was amazing! Loved it! We call those sea snails in PR "carrucho" and it's amazing with a nice mofongo anyway Thank you so much Les and Chef Paul!
I’m sorry that this doesn’t get millions and millions of views per episode, it deserves it. Perhaps it’s just a bit hard to come across if you aren’t looking for it. I’d love to see some different advertising for this show, there’s so many people who will LOVE this series but just don’t know it’s out there yet.
Fantastic episode! It's neat to go from your backyard to someone else's backyard and see what is available to them!
I really Love you and your shows.
I love this!
Put two passionate Chefs together with the same ingredients and watch them make magic, bouncing ideas back and forth.
Everything i know is from u les your a legend
That's cool definitely made me hungry
First episode of WH for me after so many years as Survivorman fan..so weird seeing Les eating great meals with actual plates and cutlery 🍽️!
WOW 2 chief that's amazing taste
great ep
Great info about Belize
Paradise
Love Belize. Found that cafe in the jungle when I was last there too!
Hello from Toronto!
I gotta try this
Oh, the conch is what they call Lambi in Haïti. Really delicious.
❤️
U guys should come to Australia we have some of the best seafood in the world.
Les has already feasted on Australian witchetty grubs... How can it get any better? 😉
@@28Pluto I know its my favorite episode. I just think Les and Paul could take Wild Harvest international after they have finished with Canada and the States. Don't you?
Les stroud drunk on a boat👍❤️
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😋
Oh hello!
How many sea snails do you need???
its so weird seeing Les pick something up in the wilderness and not put it in his pocket to use for later
You and @townsends need to do a collab as his channel is all about 1700's. Survival in the 1700s was a lot like survivor Man in a lot of ways. Especially food. Where's it coming from how are you going to get it how will it need to be prepared. Les at least check out the channel he has done lots of cooking and foraging videos. On a side note you guys could pass as brothers lol.
That would be amazing. Two of my favorites.
What I like about the original beginning of this food series was getting outdoor food that was easy and common ..these more exotic/harder to get for Ave joes like me🤔interesting, but I seen it done on other UA-cam shows..I’m more interested in commons wild edibles..just my 2cent thought on your series progression ..but always interesting in your production and presentation ..but seen that type of “food” presented in other UA-cam channels
I get what you mean for this episode, but for some people wild blueberries or spruce needles are exotic. Meanwhile, the coconut is a common wild edible to millions of people.
I think the series has done a good job focusing on foods found in whatever location Les and Paul happen to be in.
Not every episode is about what the average Canadian/American can find in their backyard.
And by bringing awareness to the fact that the wild harvest can be appreciated everywhere (land or sea, home or on vacation) highlights the importance of protecting all these different places.
They were just being nice. 100% cacao tastes bloody awful lol. I bet the unedited response would be pretty funny :)
What do you mean? I eat cacao beans every other day and they are super tasty.
Lol you are right! It's pretty harsh, sharp and bitter
It can be overwhelming to anyone not used to something quite that potent, but I'd be surprised if any professional chef couldn't handle a bite of raw cacao. In fact, it's probably less jarring than taste testing spices.
Just seen Chef Paul on Iron Chef America.
Les you never double dip bro lol jk
I have some catching up to do
Fact check my family is Mexican.
Mole poblano has an average of 20 ingredients; mole almendrado has an average of 26, and Oaxacan moles can have over 30
1:39 !? nern root ! ?? ?
Coffee and chocolate are nothing alike in feeling
He never aged. Still hot 🥵
A
the kakao sauce is the first thing in this series where I dont believe it actually tastes good.
Awesome stuff dude, you should remove your snorkel from your mouth when diving underwater though (its much safer) 😅
I'd love to spend some time on a liveaboard it looks amazing!
safer? how so? sounds like a personal choice to me
Extra moves before and after each dive...
If in a rush/negative apnea slap the snorkel before surfacing,curse and promise to your self not spear at 18 fathoms deep...
@Xenibalt If you pass out with no snorkel, your mouth is closed and is more likely to remain so until you hit the surface. If you pass out with a snorkel in, your mouth is open and you will inhale a lot of water right away. At least, that's what I have always been taught on all my freediving and spearfishing courses I've done.
@@UKSpearo i see. i've seen les dive for years tho and he seems to know his stuff. he's alive after all those things he's done after all
@UK Spearo well,well...if you blackout ,snorkel or not,you die!
If your buddy...I bet you spear fish by yourself, right. Spearo?
Les...show your wife on here sometime! It's like she doesn't even exist.
