Coastal Foraging & Cooking |with The Outdoor Boys YouTube Channel

It is time to do some coastal foraging and cook our catch! We had the awesome opportunity to host the Outdoor boys for a few days of beachcombing and coastal foraging. Our goal was to get an octopus and other goodies to make a few meals. We hope you enjoy coming along for the fun!

I watch both families and love you all. ❤❤

[@charlie-km1et]

That Octopus catch was really cool! Show more of that. Cooking was not that great. FYI. Maybe you can watch some videos on how to cook Octopus and other dishes and round out your skills? The fishing was cool also but the octopus was the best part.

[@AlaskaBoys]

How would you recommend cooking octopus? Some way other than boiling it?

[@mandywhitton]

Tell mark Absolutely love it bless him tell him keep them coming love them xxx

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thanks Mandy! We will do our best to keep the adventures coming!

[@stevenpaultann25]

Growing up we dig for soft shell clams and i would get bar clams and mussels, also we eat dulses very salty, mackerel is want I would fish for.

[@AlaskaBoys]

What are dulses? Thanks for coming along. Where are you watching from?

[@robinlinkowski8816]

Great video!!! It was awesome to see the adults interacting while teaching the kids.Mark I have noticed you are very hands-on with your boys, there is no better way to learn and gain confidence in what you are doing.Keep living your best life and being a great role model for all kids.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thank you for the kind words. We really let the kids get their hands dirty and participate with whatever we are doing.

[@anniecrawford5911]

Great to see how easy it is for you to be enjoying the day with your kids. Excellent parenting examples for your kids - seeing how to be prepared and safe,seeing you manage the disappointment when you aren’t catching anything, learning how to all work together, exploring and teaching about sea life, cleaning and preparing what you catch - wonderful! You are teaching your kids life skills. How wonderful that you get to spend time together. Everett has such a wonderful time exploring the beach. Congratulations Dad on making such special memories.

[@xavierwinchell8700]

Me and my boy loves watching you guys take care thumbs up all your shows

[@marcellahicks3984]

What a great Collab with the Outdoor Boys!! Will get back later after Gary watches. He is gonna go crazy watching those Eagles.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thanks Marcella, we had a great time making it.

[@jaybee608]

I've never seen this done, ever! I'll eat octopus with a new appreciation.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Yep, there must be easier ways, but we got it done!

[@ginalindert531]

Such a fun video! I'm sure Everett loved his special time with dad! Can't wait to see whats next!

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thanks Gina👍

Cool adventure, Boys! Neat to see all the life in the tidal waters. Great collab with Outdoor Boys 👍👍

Good Morning family 🌅 and Happy Saturday

[@AlaskaBoys]

Good evening to you 😁

[@marcellahicks3984]

Let's Go Home and see Mom, what a great thing to say to your Baby after time away...Happy Mother's Day!!! "THE ALASKA BOYS" never disappoint. It was great seeing Everett explore, learn, forage, watch, and laugh. Starting Young gives them an Adventure Heart. And he is at that age he wants to see and do it all. Love love love seeing you with your Boys. The Country Rock Music while you cooked was awesome. And that meal, I said to Gary, an Off Grid Foraging Paella with Ramen Noodles. Now that is ultimate dining. I bet you were all hungry. Beautiful, mind blowing and stunning to watch. Bet Lauren was one happy Momma to see her boys home.

[@AlaskaBoys]

That noodle dish turned out awesome. We’ll definitely try it again. Thanks for watching and coming along Marcella.

[@lisasteimer5860]

I love an outdoor man that can cook!

Loved the eagle thief.

Such a cool shot!

[@reapergrim76]

Awesome stuff! 👌

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thank you buddy.

[@stephanieb.741]

This video was so much fun. Silly or not so silly as it may sound, what you did in this video has been a dream of mine. A beach on Alaska with family and friends catching lunch and dinner, foraging, and cooking up great food with a warm cabin and a big fire, I'd be in heaven with a big cup of coffee. Love that I can in a way join your adventures. Your family is wonderful, love all of the videos you all make for us, thank you. Happy Mother's day to all the moms. ☺☺

[@AlaskaBoys]

Not silly at all! It’s a great feeling to be outside foraging for your own dinner.

[@darlenechandler7734]

I love the Outdoor boys too..been watching them for years..I love Luke and Rebecca and they're boys. I watch your wife's videos and recently she recommended we watch you guys so here I am..I love Lauren she's awesome! I enjoy your videos also. Take care..sending my love and prayers to you and your wonderful family

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thank you for coming over to our channel. Glad you’re enjoying them.

[@kimbradbury9107]

Watching the eagles & that one snatching the food from the one was cool. I knew you could eat the tentacles but didn’t know about the head the food looked delicious. Thank for showing me thing that I did not know. Great video

[@AlaskaBoys]

The head is the best part, so tender! Thank you for watching Kim!

[@dianamendenhall5441]

What a fun trip! Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thanks for watching!

[@cindydaniel6125]

I love seeing the Alaska beauty. I'm with Everett on the fish eggs. But I'd love to try the adventure. Thanks for sharing.

[@AlaskaBoys]

He’s such a great sport to try new things. The eggs tasted great. About like what you get on sushi.

[@Thegroundrunners]

Those sea cucumbers are nasty!!! I was so excited when he got that octopus!!! All the hard work paid off!! The stir fry looked amazing! I love these videos! I learn so much! Looks like everybody had a great time! Take care!!❤️❤️

[@AlaskaBoys]

If like to figure out how to eat the sea cucumber. They sure look gross, but I hear they can taste good if done right.

i know you form outdoor boys,i'm absolutely like your video keep it hard brother😁✊

Thank man!

[@gabbygirl7765]

we love flounder on the east coast of the states, definitely popular

[@AlaskaBoys]

We are spoiled with all the good fish up here, but our flounder meals tasted great.

[@cplatter38]

I watched Luke's version of this and just found you guys.. I'm off grid in Anchor Point so, a local. ANYWAY, I was looking for information on Helmut crab ediblility and found this video... then BAM you answered my question! Thank you!

[@mamijue5330]

Hello there alaska boys great youtube video

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thanks 👍

[@sarahekstrom8510]

Beautiful place! Too bad the fishing was not great. Good shot of the eagles. Is that Yoshida sauce on the noodles? The red sea weed at low tide looked like it would be good. Looks hard filming and flipping rocks by yourself.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Self filming with a four year old is tricky, but generally works out. Yes, that was Yoshida sauce with a generous potion of fresh ginger.

[@OutFishing13Matthew]

Hey, just found your channel today. Thank you! I grew up in Homer. Have been over in that area digging steamer clams years ago. Hope to make it to Homer this summer.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Glad you found us! We love digging steamers, I was sad when ADFG closed down clamming in all of k-bay this year.

[@karenleemallonee684]

I truly love the content that you put out, how awesome was this vlog!?! Catching the flounder and making the fresh fish tacos, I bet they were delicious! The finding and collecting of all the different sea creatures were so interesting. Finding that octopus was amazing, all the work you put into getting him out from under the rock. Your stir fry I bet was very tasty, I would have love to have tried it! I loved watching the eagles flying down to pick up the creature guts...awesome! Thank you, Mark for taking us along with you!!! 🌼

[@AlaskaBoys]

The eagles are spectacular to watch. It never gets old.

Looks like Kasitna bay right across from Jackaloff bay, my family owned property there from 60s-80s by post-office, down from old cannery. Great memories.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Beautiful country there in the Kasitna Bay Area.

[@brilliantbutblue]

This was so cool! How awesome to meet Luke and Jacob and have a fun time together. The Eagles really are a spectacular creature and they are fast!! Wouldn't eat the sea eggs either Everett no matter how good Dad said they are. That poor Octopus 🐙 😢 he did not want any part of your noodle dinner. Loved every minute of this video, hard to believe you have a job in an office you are certainly connected to the land. Thanks so much for sharing this great trip with us all. 👍

[@AlaskaBoys]

I’d have to agree that the octopus was not a willing participant in the noodle dish 😂. Everett is a good sport to try new foods. I think it was just out of context for him, but I thought they tasted 👍. Thanks for watching.

[@seankahle1385]

dang the food looks good

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thanks! Sure tasted good

[@janebain3402]
