One thinng I can say about the trips I have taken with Dr Kevin is the memories. In the end all the stuff we have is just stuff but the memories of things we have done will live with me forever. He gives you those memories, maybe something no one else can.
Thank you for the kind words!
Love this collaboration, want to see the 2 of you do a camping trip!
Sounds like a great idea!
AS always a Great video from you Kevin, and cool that you teamed up with Fisherman's Life, Matts is a good guy. That meal looked delicious and the footage was incredible, your voice is so soothing and easy to listen to and learn. Love your videos ! ❤🙏👊
Thank you!
Looking into freediving and out of all the channels yours was my favorite so far! Love the practical advise and free spirit you have. Can't wait to try it myself. Do plan on a solo experience most of the time which I know isn't smart but thats life.
are you in CA? if so wanna learn to freedive together?
One thing I bring when crab catching is zip ties, I use it to bind the crab's claws so they cannot harm each other. Very important for rock crab in Washington. You put them in the same place as the rubber bands you find in a shop that sells live crab. I'd use the rubber bands, but I just don't have any.
Interesting idea!
Hey Kevin!! I love when you get together with Matts. Have fun and lots of luck at his street show.
Dying for Thai now...Thanks.
Blessings
💛...
Enjoy your videos so much! I love the educational aspects.
You are definitely someone would be lucky to be close friends with! You are so knowledgeable with foraging & understanding so much about all the resources around your environment. I would feel so fortunate to have you in my group if ever things go to pots & we have to go back to the old ways of hunting & gathering. God Bless :) Love learning so much watching your videos. One of these days I will book one of your classes. :)
Thanks for the kind words!
Great stuff! I would love to see more stone tools / primitive stuff / survival content!
Great footage and amazing food, what a blessed day.
Love to see my two favorite UA-camrs together
Love hearing that feedback!
You both are awesome 😎
This looks awesome, now i gotta try.
Now that looks very 😋🤤😋🤤😋🤤. I also cooked with coconut milk as well.. nice video
Awesome looks great
amazing
That was awesome!! Gotta have avocado and butter with Matts hahaaa
just got a text from CA fish and game reminding me that groundfish are open again in your area. I'd like to sea you link them for your viewers. love your mushrooms too. keep on keepin' on. always a fan of the spanish shawl and the garibaldi, since about '94 maybe -93. we used to CRAWL over kelp on our hands and knees. I want to import sea otters so they can eat their 30 purple urchins a day and I can start crawling again.
Awesome. The crab had 1 leg out the door. Good hunting
Love all your videos and how you explain things. I recently started diving and having a hard time with the longer fins. I keep bicycle kicking and not keeping my legs straight. Would love to see a video on fin technique from you!
Thanks! I will see if I can incorporate some discussion into a future video!
Have you even thought of using one of those underwater re-breather systems to stay longer under catches instead of constant resurfacing to breath?
I have thought about it. I used to do a bit of SCUBA as well. But in the end I prefer the freedom and fluidity of freediving unincumbered by any bulky gear and solely reliant on my own breath hold. I will tell the stories of my near death experiences with SCUBA gear in a future vid. - Cheers
I caught one that big fishing but didnt know what it was.
Her from fisherman's life Channel
Wow I did not even know we had these in CA. When are you going to be near the jetty in Eureka??? Possible trip? Anyone else on board? I am scuba certified as well. Where are the local peeps?
I will keep that in mind! I might guide something up there in Eureka area or Crescent City area this summer. I would need to confirm a group of at least 6 people over a couple of days to make the long trip. But all of that area is a home away from home for me. Lots of great college memories up there and such abundant waters and woods! -Cheers
Not normally a commenter and I can't remember if you mentioned it in another video... for beginners.. how do you judge fish length at distance so you aren't unnecessarily shooting undersized fish?
It is not easy due to magnification but I will definitely discuss this in an upcoming vid!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 can’t wait!
I am one to look let the food speak for it's self, all the sauces take that away..
I would love to SoCal dive with you i
Nice video. Where do you guide at for spear fishing? Me and my buddy want to get into it. We don't want to do anything really deep. Thank you
Thanks! I specialize in intro level spearfishing in the shallows (for beginner-level divers) so that would not be a problem at all. I guide freedive spearfishing on the Los Angeles Coast, Malibu Coast, Santa Barbara Coast, Monterey Coast, Sonoma Coast and the Mendocino Coast. More details at catchncookcalifornia.com I hope to get you two out there soon!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 ok. Thank you very much
Are those spider crabs?
Yup
hey kevin another great video :) just want to check in about your intro, the it's comparatively loud to the rest of the video and has become distorted
Thanks for the feedback. I normalized the audio while editing this video to avoid that but for some reason it did not adjust the intro audio! I will definitely monitor that more closely in the future. Thanks again!
Are those sea mammals illegal to hunt?
Yes, all marine mammals are illegal to hunt in most states of the USA. They were once incredibly important food sources for coastal Native American tribes and in early historic times by colonizing peoples but were rapidly overhunted in the 1800's and are therefore now protected. Native Americans may be able to obtain a special permit for subsistence hunting of sea mammals in Alaska, but I am not sure of the regulations up there.
how long is you breath hold
6 minutes was my record but that was just sitting on the couch. 2-3 minutes in the water sounds about right, but a new diver can hunt with success with a 45 second-1 minute breath hold too!
thanks man that is really impressive I can only hold my breath for 2 and a half minutes best but im only young .have a great rest of you're day. @@catchncookcalifornia1574
Sheesh diving looks super fun now how do you hokd your breath thnx
Practice while your sitting around watching UA-cam videos. That's what I do.
@@heruhcanedean 100% agreed! But not while driving or operating heavy machinery ;)
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 I would hope someone isn't watching UA-cam videos while operating heavy machinery and practicing breath holds. Practicing breath holds while free diving probably isn't a good idea either.
I like to get in a comfortable place to lower my heart rate and just hold my breath, always remember to breathe normal for 2-3 times as long as you hold your breath or your next breath hold won't be for very long.
MY EARS HOLY SHIIIIIIIOYIUT
I rarely like you channel Kevin
I hope you mean "really" lol. -Cheers
I live in the northern of California invite me to go fishing and cook that's my passion. Thank you.
Please post to RUMBLE!👍
Your intro is too loud.
Thanks for the heads up!
