    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.

    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'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 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!

    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.

  • @wagessin3596
    @wagessin3596 Рік тому +2

    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

    • @28Pluto
      @28Pluto Рік тому +1

      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.

      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.

    • @UKSpearo
      @UKSpearo Рік тому

      @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.
