    Have watched all of your vids. From the first big adventure and all. You are both so likeable. And it’s also great to see Fran evolve over the episodes. She used to be pretty quiet, and in one early vid, I recall her saying “I don’t wanna talk…they won’t like my accent” , or words to that effect. Now Fran is a completely equal contributor with info and her confidence of camera is evident. Great work you two. Big fan here. Keep these vids coming.

    My first job at a steakhouse had a secret seasoning. It was 50% sea salt, 25% granulated roasted garlic and 25% ground black pepper in a simple metal shaker. It works perfectly for fish if you are looking to expand your cooking kit. It goes on anything. Cheers!

Or abandon stuff on any of the islands you have been on. By the way I don't blame Fran for ducking from those Birds. Being attacked by large birds isn't very fun.

    Hey guys love your vids . The way to cook in under ground oven its called Lovo in Fiji is to dig a pit light a fire then put the rocks on the fire to heat the rocks ones the fire turns to coal and rock is hot you then put the fish that is wrapped in banana leaves coconut cream and lemon also goes good with the fish . As soon as you put the fish in you have to start covering the pit 1st with green leaves, banana leaves are the best as it gives good flavour then cover with soil or in your case sand until you don't see any smoke excape usually it will cook roughly same time as oven would but the end result is yummy and Amazing , hope you try it enjoy and stay safe 🙂

      This is the way I saw them cook on the beach in Okinawa while I was stationed there in 1970. Build a fire in a sand pit and when it burns down to coals, cover it with about an inch of sand or pebbles, lay the fish wrapped in banana or palm fronds, cover with an inch of sand and build a fire on top. When the top fire dies down to coals, scrap them away and remove the fish.

Also in the uk our recycled waste which we collect in individual bins are shipped abroad bar 10% to be incinerated or go to landfill in some third world country just so we can tick a box to say we`re doing our bit to save the planet, as the Russians say " a fish rots from the head down"

Good job Strick on finding and winning Fran. Would that I could do as well. A cook that looks good. Wow. One problem, my mother said, never trust a skinny cook. But there Fran is doing well at cooking and as slender as a healthy woman can be.

    I really enjoy your channel ...... for future adventures with open fire zero cutlery you might want to consider a couple of bush craft levelling up options ..... surrounded by coconuts weave simple basket/wrap to cook fish/food in coals or ground oven style, you can make a pretty easy set of tongs from a split mid vein of palm frond or green branch ( just rough bind end, jam rock or stick to wedge open tongs and rough bind just in front of the wedge) this makes a springy pair of tongs that you can manipulate food, coals, rocks in a fire without getting burnt. You can also whittle some chop sticks which also make eating hot food a little easier.

    I'm always taken with the colour of the water when you pop a drone shot in. The degrees of Turquoise to Azure Blue that the water appears is just spellbinding to me. I was lucky enough back in the late 1980's and early 1990's to be able to vacation with and dive with my parents in a small town outside Guaymas Mexico called San Carlos, and compared to the dark green waters of Canada's west coast where I have dove for years, the gorgeous blue water of the Sea of Cortez was very welcome. That deep blue of the Sea of Cortez, as beautiful as it is, honestly is miles away from the myriad of blue shades you have where you are. Absolutely stunning!!
    Fran, I was thinking if you could build a decent sized "A" out of slabs of stone or broken coral, you could build the fire under the line going horizontal on the "A" and use the triangle top bit as your oven. I remember many, many years ago in the mid 1970's being in Cub and Boy Scouts and building a similar structure from river rocks to cook a trout, and remember it working fairly well until the moisture in the large horizontal rock we used cracked due to the fire. Another slab like rock and we were back in business! Maybe the design will help you out too?? Take care, your mate - Dave

    Hello , so many things that I have learned and become interested in while viewing different episodes . Such as the moray eel , I see that they seem to be a bit more docile than I always thought . That is , unless you're a crab by his lonesome with no where to hide . The photographer came out'a me when I saw Fran cooking your lunch @ 20:14 . If on vacation , that would have a nice shot to treasure . Alright , enjoyed it as always so be safe .
