Giant Lobster Catch and Cook! | 100% Wild Food Survival Challenge

In episode 3 of this survival series we finally get to check our lobster traps which we set off the shores of Maine 2 day previous. The goal of the challenge is to maintain our body weight through foraging wild foods only.

Check out Zach Fowler: / @fowlersmakeryandmischief
We also are looking for other wild foods like turkey as it is the spring season. We do manage to get a red squirrel in a catch and cook which we add to our smoked fish.
The goal is to replace any calories we burn foraging for wild foods in order to balance our energy expenditures as modern foragers.
We bait our lobster traps with alewife or river herring which we dip netted the day before. This is all about survival and eating the foods that we can easily forage and scavenge from wild sources. We are really trying to balance our calories eating only wild edibles.
We will show you how to cook and clean the clams and eat the stomach. We will remove the skin and also purge and wash the clams and boil in water.
Malcolm makes a dandelion wild spinach boiled green.
The Wilderness Living Challenge is not a "survival challenge," but more like a test of the modern hunter gatherer to sustain himself on wild foods only. We will weight ourselves at the start of the challenge and weight out at the end. If we lose any weight at all, we lose the challenge!
Follow along as we struggle to get wild foods!
I am joined by Zach Fowler on his home turf in Maine, USA in the spring.
Here, we plan to do Season 5 of The Wilderness Living Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to gain or maintain our body weight eating only the wild food we can collect on site using whatever means necessary.
Winning the Wilderness Living Challenge is harder than it seems.
Season 5: Maine Spring, takes place in Maine, USA with coastal food priorities including fish, clams, crab, seaweed, groundhog, pigeon, turkey, dandelion, cattail, and whatever else is edible! Nothing is off the menu, if it's edible, we'll eat it.
We make use of all the resources in this challenge to meet the demands for calories imposed by the human body!

I think you and deermeatfordinner could get along really well and have great adventures maybe check him out and see what you two can do?

You should use the paws for fishing lures! Fish will bite anything that moves!!!

[@bmike3000]

1. I've been cooking lobster and steamers my whole life and never done it in saltwater. 2. That seaweed is called bladderrack and is definitely edible. 3. There are around 150 calories in a 1.25 lb lobster. 4. The "brown stuff" which is usually green is called tomalley. It's a filter like material which functions as a liver and other organs. Great videos man, Your friendly Maine marine biologist

[@Shamariah2011]

thisisthemeaning is there any chemical released in the lobster like adrenaline that affects the taste of the meat if not dispatched? Just curious

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Awesome! Does that seaweed have any calories? I should just look it up myself LOL

[@bmike3000]

@@Shamariah2011 not that i have ever read or heard about. ive always just dropped them in the pot. the idea of dispatching them first comes more from the notion of a "humane death", but they die so fast in boiling water that it doesnt even matter.

[@Shamariah2011]

thisisthemeaning you lose head butter by doing this method right? Head butter is the best.

[@bmike3000]

@@TheWoodedBeardsman negligible amounts at best unfortunately. not a baad source for some other nutrients like iron, irodine, and b12, but definitely wouldnt sustain a person.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Ya man this is fun for me to watch and see what you got up to when we were of doing difrent stuff !!

[@MrJ60707]

You guys are doing great. I'm not sure if I could have eaten that fish leather lol.

[@missalmondeyesstlmo160]

The Wooded Beardsman You threw away all the yummy meat in the flappers there’s meat that you can suck out

[@hamslicemcdooogle8080]

The Wooded Beardsman your turkey call made my dog go fking bonkers. I thought I was in the clear once I calmed her down and you started explaining the whole “wilderness living premise” so I turned the volume back up And then you popped off with the calls again and she went bananas again! You might not be attracting infinite turkeys, but your call isn’t 100% ineffective!

[@ghiagoo]

Next wilderness challenge go to Pacific Northwest. Catch salmon, and seafood out there

[@ghiagoo]

Trap tacos? What bait do you use? Wooded Beardsman in Santa Monica, a fish out of the water

[@jeanblack3070]

ghiagoo - War Robots you use $20 bills

[@pocketpicker6613]

Might be harder since they have so many regulations

[@pocketpicker6613]

But that sounds dope if it ever happens

[@mrhighjynx]

That'd be cool. Although I must say...rather than focus so much on the cooking I love the survival techniques and how to catch or hunt, maybe more shelter builds as well. It's always good info. And knowing how to cook and use all of the animal (sometimes not something you'd think to eat) to really survive.

[@Talonthir]

Fullstop each time everytime! Nice catch on the lobster. And the joy in your eye when Chris says he found a porcupine! Priceless! Keep it coming WB & Zach.

[@tylerarmstrong2514]

You’re Turkey calling skills are frighteningly good

[@patrickirish9427]

They use a diaphragm you know lol it's not just by mouth only

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Wish we had more turkey around home here to use it on!

[@mattnlogan101]

Patrick Irish He never questioned that or tried to say it was mouth only...

[@random_ostrich]

Thank you for giving us all something decent to watch on the tube. Appreciate what you do to provide content

[@martinwatters2729]

Fowler has become one cool dude and a wild man 100 % great stuff and great channels.

[@toasted99]

Quite envious of you guys right now, wild caught lobster is one of my favorite sea foods. Keep up the good work!

[@ianmagiskan9282]

OMG! Did I ever freak out laughing at 7:19 At what The Beardsman said here! And the expression and body language! And good call eating the clams before checking the lobster traps. That is hard work walking in the woods trying to hunt to on a empty belly.

[@rafterrafter5320]

You knew there was a high tide; You just wanted Malcolm away, so you don't have to share the lobsters with the poor bastard!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dpm4351]

Thanks Woodbeard ! Real cool video . Awesome crew of people .

[@isntitobvious9894]

Lobster, Steak, and Mushrooms , each loaded with garlic butter and some lemon for the lobster. Best meals I've ever had

Can't wait for the next episode! Great job!

Awesome video 👍👍👍! Can't wait to see the outcome.

[@TheOwenby11]

Great video as usual Chris. I would be right with you on the learning curve for lobster and clams. Keep up the good work and thanks for the sacrifices you make so we can watch a video.

[@Tilbily]

Incredible episode again, gents !!!

[@Christopher-yc1xk]

Wow the views on this season Wilderness Living Challenge are looking great!!! Much deserved guys!! this has been a fantastic season so far !!

Man, this episode was awesome. Those Lobster looked amazing.. great job lads.

[@josephpecoul6532]

Thanks for bringing me along.

[@portdawg52]

How did I miss this yesterday!! I’m looking forward to this one!

[@caseyabc33]

Been waiting! Thanks for the great entertainment!

[@retiredyeti5555]

Zach's excitement at the first lobster pot pull-in was hilarious, only to have to throw back all but one, which was demoralizing. At least the day wasn't a total bust, 6 of those legal sized ones was a good haul for the day. Eating high on the hog that day! Like you, I can't afford to buy them in the store either, but just as well, because a whole lobster would precipitate a major gout attack! Miss eating shell fish! I am enjoying watching you guys on this survival series. As always, stay safe!

[@GAR85120514]

This is getting interesting once again. Lots to be learned.

[@woodswoods3213]

Ffffnn awesome almost lost it with the lobster fat ,, you guys are livin it bro keep em comin

[@Tashin32]

Full Stop. Awesome video series as usual. Great to learn about places other than the environment in which you live because sometimes you never know where you may find yourself.

Looks like your having or I should say had an awesome time Chris 👍🏼👍🏼

[@tonynapoli5549]

Thanks for sharing guys Chris are making that turkey call or is it a mouth piece. Sounds good no need for me to learn that call we don’t have wild turkeys. Anyway best part of this video is the end ! You scoffing away like mad at that Lobster. Thanks for sharing 👍👌🇬🇧

[@davidyeh2855]

Those lobster cooked in the woods looks amazingly tasty!

[@kovots]

Late to the game but that white stuff is actually hemolymph (what most arthropods have instead of blood) and it looks white because that's what happens when you heat the proteins [usually its clear when uncooked i believe]. Perfectly safe to eat if you need the calories and it has a good amount of nutrients too! Good video mate.

[@yanjijay6752]

Wow that looks super good especially not having breakfast yet 🤤 .

[@Bunnychan69]

why did i stop watchin this channel for a few months :O love what u do keep it up

[@jasonmankovecky9410]

Its good what ever it is! Epic!

Zach really doesn't get your jokes at all does he. Bless.

[@paulf4133]

i cant wait for the next episode to see the porcupine!

[@aporroquez5227]

You looks like an England cricketer Ben stokes. You are doing good job brother. Wishing you more and more healthy subscribers.

So awesome!!

Thanks!

[@coreytiefenauer559]

First time I have ever enjoyed watching someone eat lol its the best feeling eating something you catch especially if its lobster. awesome video thank you for all the great content

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Soooo good!

[@coreytiefenauer559]

I can't catch lobster I live in Missouri but I have grilled lobster tail but I can't imagine having it fresh out of the ocean

[@atcera8714]

"is this fat?" Me: probably sperm "Salty and rich" Me: yup

[@willt2886]

Blood actually

[@Ritchie2324]

The green stuff inside the lobster is known as Tomalley, lobster paste and crab fat, this gooey mass inside the lobster's body (and crabs) cavity is what serves as part of the crustacean’s digestive system. This mass works as the lobster’s liver and pancreas. 🤘🏼

[@stevekunde1117]

Full Stop!!! 👍 Porcupine foreshadowing was a nice way to end. Being springtime I would have expected some Ramp/leek foraging. But my guess is it’s either a little early yet, or not the right areas. I do like the addition of zac’s apprentice and friend. The extra sets of hands and eyes must come in handy. See you guys on Tuesday.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Zach said they didn't have too many leeks in this areas, surprised me too!

[@dickdemon9383]

Hey!!!!!!!!!! Ive gotta give it to you man? Your the best out doors guy ive ever seen.

[@capatainnemo]

love your turkey call :)

u r amazing guys love it to watch hello from 🇸🇰 u and bear grylls my favourite

[@mrhighjynx]

If you have the time and patience wild turkey smoked with apple or cherry wood. 250 for 12 hrs. I couldn't believe it. But you guys catch and cook it all! You make it look so fun.. because it is right? Thanks again for another awesome video. If your ever in Michigan we always have something good in season to hunt and fish and we have the land.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Had a blast learning how to do it here man!
