Brad Hunts Boar in Hawaii | It's Alive: Goin' Places | Bon Appétit

Join Brad as he hunts and traditionally prepares wild boar, an invasive species on the big island of Hawaii. It's a whisper fest as Brad and his new hunter friends Kiley Umeda and Justin Lee show him the ropes and teach him how to quietly hunt with a bow and arrow. Afterwards, Brad learns how to traditionally cook the boar in a hole in the ground using burning hot rocks.

A lot of what has made It's Alive great is the editing. They've got a talented production team at BA.

[@RuckusRugs]

Seriously the amazing editing has been as big of a part of this show as Brad is. I know the "Goin Places" tag of It's Alive! signifies that this series is a little different then the standard "It's Alive!" so I can't complain that the editing is slightly less crazy on these versus the standard episodes, but I wish it was just as wild as those normal episodes, I think the funny subtitles and little clip-art images flying around on screen and pretend interacting with Brad was just as instrumental as Brad in making this show so great and popular. I hope they don't lose that crazy style of editing when they go back to making the regular episodes again, I seriously loved it and it combined with Brad was what made this show what it is.

[@SpikeCole]

Why don’t the boar have a butthole

[@fxm5715]

@@RuckusRugs: Part of that change may be due to the source footage available. I wouldn't be surprised if the first few seasons of footage were just Brad and Vinnie farting around in the woods, with only a general idea of what they would be taping; lots of goofing off with no strict timetable or anticipated shot list. A lot depends on the editor tying it all together. With growing success comes increased budget and risk, plus things like an on-location producer, maybe an audio person, perhaps even a grip. Now there are expectations to be met and a lot more on the line; it's very difficult to keep the same loose, spontaneous feel of the early efforts that made them so successful. Now there's a formula to be followed. It's a classic pattern of production in many mediums, including bands, writers, artists, and comedy in general. "We love how free and quirky and spontaneous you are! Ok, now just keep doing it on demand! No pressure."

64PINK256 Please explain. I haven't seen a lot of Christian bashing recently, even though I feel like some people think it's okay to hate on Christianity because it's such a big religion. Still I have seen a lot more discrimination and hate against other religions, especially against Muslims since we have a lot of refugees here (in Germany) and for some reason a lot of people dislike them being in our country. The only times I see hate against Christianity is when some radical believers start dragging their innocent children into cults or find some other ways to destroy their lifes. Or when atheists start a drama about how there is no God, but they're probably referring to all religions. So please, provide some context so I can understand your point.

​@@JenIsHungry Why is it a christian mindset to 'take what they want without second thought'? Are you talking about colonization? Successful advanced societies throughout history wanted to share what they learned with the heathens. This includes black brown white and every other color. A 2,020 yr old religion isn't going to change that. Besides, aren't you aware that the country had only 200k left out of 20 million after the maunder minimum and then the diseases the conquistadors and the explorers brought by the time we started really expanding west? It was during those times that some presidents (WILSON) were awful to the natives, and what they did had NOTHING to do with christianity.

I’m thankful BA does this. Hunting has left a bad taste in my mouth because it’s become so contemporarily about the “sport” of hunting. When at its root hunting has always been about sustaining the local environment. I study sustainability and it made me really happy to hearing the people BA worked with explain why they hunt boar and how it provides for not only their community but the local ecosystem as a whole. That stuff is important-not killing bc you can and want a wall mount. (Btw I speak from a background where hunting is very popular in my family. Not all huntsmen have that negative mentality I hate but I’ve seen it all too well.)

[@lichen6962]

Kale 000 when I hunt a single deer will last three to four four months

[@masterfeatherpen]

I’m sorry that you have had bad experiences with hunting, but I can’t help point out that what you say isn’t accurate. Modern hunting, more than any other era of human history, is aware of conservation. While it is true that hunting (the first activity of humankind) has always tried to strike a balance between harvest and maintenance, it has always been a sport as well. The first art was homage to the excitement of the hunt. Hunting, so primal, has always been ritualistic, almost religious. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Western Culture went crazy with hunting as a pastime, with the rise of tourism and Safari, resulting in extinctions. Consumerism is the root of awful hunting practices. Modern hunters have largely rejected those patterns of behavior and now provide almost all of the resources for conservation. Hope this helps to explain why so ,any love this ancient sport, this ancient ritual.

[@ruth3431]

[@jakestatefarm7609]

If people want to mount horns on a wall to remember a hunting experience, there isn't anything wrong with that. Even hunting for sport isn't bad, assuming the meat is kept. People need to stop judging how different people hunt, so long as they kill quickly and eat the animal.

One thing I love about It's Alive is Brad's appreciation of culture, safety, the environment, and the treatment of the animals he's going to cook. Truly a man of the Earth 💜

The sleeping grass 😳... nature is amazing

Isn't it called a "touch me not"?

They have thorns and, have some in my yard, they’re not fun to step on.

You can buy seeds easily. Try Amazon. I have gotten seeds from the target dollar section even. It may not be the exact same plant but it does the same thing and looks very similar. Try looking up senstive plant seeds.

Brad gingerly climbing over fences is all I need in this life.

[@galesturms]

Always gonna appreciate the fact Brad has an interest in the culture and people, instead of just the food or just the thing he's doing.

13:30 heart proceeds to melt

[@VictorDude98]

This makes me really happy, seeing people respect the animal they eat and do it in a humane way. It is beyond what nature usually is

[@2Dtube1]

My window was open and someone must have been burning something at the perfect time as the fire pit was lit so now I just had a 4D experience watching this video

[@viridixx]

not only are you respecting other cultures, but you're respecting animals in general. this makes my little spiritual heart happy.

[@ejohn2]

That little girl saying grace filled me with so much peace, the best part of this video.

[@sarahmaywoodruff1443]

I think it is great that Brad came to Hawaii to try and learn about culture. No judgement just wanted to lean.

[@nikc2246]

brad said “camera guys” which really makes me sad that vinny isn’t in hawaii

[@ifewalter]

Nik C he isn’t with BA anymore.

[@PennyLane639]

Ife Walter that is the saddest news ever.

[@mattsanderson5258]

@@PennyLane639 He's working for Babish now

[@mattfrazier3115]

I thought Vinny (camera guy) was still with BA but Matt (the original video editor) moved on to Babish. ?

[@formecm]

@@mattfrazier3115 no Vinny announced on insta he left. Matt's insta still says he edits the videos

[@abdal-rahmannawar3504]

That little girl's prayers just touched my heart. The mythology the religion and the traditions that Hawaiian people live by tells you how connected they are to earth and their environment and their fellow humans. Truly amazing culture, thanks Brad for sharing this.

[@jarcandle12]

Being Native american and growing up around my culture. Its very beautiful to see other cultures and how they live and some of their beliefs. I smiled the whole time watching this video. Thanks for making it!!!

[@mon6745]

I am so happy that the fox is for the last few episodes has been sustainability and ethical practices when hunting. Too many other people give hunting such a bad name. I'll admit, I had a negative perception of hunting until I was able to see what an important practice it is when it is used for survival, not for sport. And this looks like such a good meal!

3:55 in my country indonesia that plant is called "putri malu" translated to "shy princess" because it folds it's self like they're shy when we touch them

[@bjsing247]

Happy they narrated and showed the harvest of the animal. I hate when shows just completely skip over it to avoid any backlash. It was quick, humane, and more importantly, a part of all of our culture for 1000s of years, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of.

[@DaylightDTM]

this is easily one of the best episodes on the series, such a great atmosphere and it’s pretty cool seeing the Hawaiians treat the land with so much respect and passing that knowledge onto Brad, bravo Bon Apetit

[@brningpyre]

The bit Brad talked about at the end, with the feeling of relief when the water comes out, it's amazing.

[@giantpunda2911]

The salt Bae reference was hilarious. I presume it was the cameraman's idea but if it was spontaneous, that'd be amazing.

[@JukentheBox]

I literally lost it at that quick cut

[@kittstarz]

Happiness is watching “It’s Alive” during lunch breaks, and before going to sleep, and really any time of the day.

[@maeverichmond555]

this culture is so beautiful. my family went on holiday and i cant express how much i miss it and how much i love the people and the land. i never wanted to leave.

[@shadow6490]

This was very real and thank you for being respectful in what you are doing

13:55 The rarest and most elusive of all Hawaiian mammals - what's known to the locals as simply "Hat-less Brad". Amazing find! It's only been captured on film a handful of times, this one seemed very docile and friendly. A rare sight indeed!!

[@wesleytownsend8214]

That “sleeping grass” we call “shy fern” and some call it “touch me not” All the best to you and yours!
