Keeping your Culture - Free Range Sailing Ep 43

[@simonhantler8062]

ive never done it with all the fuss over clean spoons etc and not had problem, how do you know if its infected?

[@FreeRangeLiving]

The pedantic spoon business helps to get the most generations of yoghurt from one starter culture. We often can't get to shops to renew our culture if bad tastes creep in. We do carry powdered culture for a restart but it doesn't seem to throw as many successful generations as fresh yoghurt.

[@joed2392]

Pascale & Troy, You two have surpassed professionalism in recording and presenting your lives as you sojourn the sea's !! The phrase " Lest we forget " comes to mind...! Your preservation of history and the "old way's " of life and living are a testament of your, true nature and values ! Humankind would be better, if there were more people like you two around !! Again, Many Thanks for sharing !

[@SailingInconceivable]

If there’s one thing the world needs now, it’s culture. Thanks for bringing us a bunch. ~Hans

[@sw923]

Really appreciated your respect for the culture and history of the places you visited. So many folks today forget history and culture and the importance it plays in society. As always thanks for sharing.

[@perigrine46]

Thanks so much for showing the ANZAC parade on T.I. I've never seen any video of that before, and lived in the Strait and Cape York for 13 years. Well done, another great video. Bless you two for the information you provide, and the way you present the Torres Strait culture, it is one of the best.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We loved our time there. Walking around each night and getting a chorus of soft "good night" at each meeting with groups of islanders was a special small pleasure to us, as was listening to merry high pitched laughter coming from guys who looked like they could eat Mike Tyson.

[@coalfieldbeelovergerald3687]

Being a Vietnam Vet myself .. I m deeply touched with tears n emotions with the Sentiments n wreath laying of the Torres Straits residents n brigade members.. In Vietnamese: Cám ơn Chưa ! (Praise God !). Thank you for sharing this. I remember meeting several Aussie aircraft crews that flew in to Qui Nhon n I refueled their aircraft 👍Papa J. Vietnam 1966-67 Australia 🇦🇺 🇺🇸

[@charlesmyhill]

The ANZAC Day parade brought my eyes to water.

[@Cappuccino-ph7rp]

Thankyou for keeping your vid's "real".

[@StormSignal]

There are some sailing channels where missing an episode is not a biggie. Yours is not one of them. Thank you both.

[@xtraMTpockets]

I swear you two have the ability to capture my mind and whisk me off to the Torres Straights everytime I click your videos. Once again I loved the episode and cant wait for the next ..... thanks so much, and stay safe.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Music to our ears

[@motor1395]

Knowing space is at a premium it was nice to see Troy’s banjo at the end of the video. Stay safe and wishing you both all the best!! Norm in AZ

[@amyfaith2350]

Love the culture, etc.!

[@rj7411]

Ah good times with good friends, looked like you had fun and the kiddies had a couple of new playmates to hang around with. So sweet!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Those kids were really engaging, thoroughly good company.

[@billroberts3864]

Thanks for showing how to make yogurt in a simple manner. You folks interact with local people very nicely which leads me to believe you both could make friends any place in the world.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We respect anyone who respects us and try and keep a sense of humour about misunderstandings. Works most of the time!

[@mickmccrohon]

You guys are a fount of useful information! Gorgeous kids, loved how involved they were with getting lunch.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Best education a kid could want.

[@BravoSmack]

8:02 the best music for sail.... Same like a music from my born place.biak/west Papua.

[@SrPhotoguy]

As always I learned something new while watching your excellent videos. Thank you for that.

[@Brisailer]

Thank you so much for the very touching ANZAC scenes

[@FreeRangeLiving]

You're welcome Peter

[@c00lhand2469]

Love your little training sessions! Thank you

[@kennethparker1032]

Anoher excellent visit with you two. Wonderful informative fun. thanks!!

[@paulbettenga6202]

I really enjoy your channel, and the tutorial part has been very informative.

[@digbybaxter1550]

Another great video thoroughly enjoy your adventures.

[@markbuskens6070]

mullet,we have them in the US I’m in south Alabama and grew up eating plenty of them. Next time you get them scale then filet them scrape the black lining off the inside of the rib cage.cover with cornmeal or fish fry mix and fry them in cooking oil. Make grits with a lil salt, put butter and sugar on the grits.eat the fish with some ketchup also have some bread in case you swallow a rib bone,lol swallow the bread without chewing to make the bone go down.tha meat around the ribs is the best!!! But it’s all good!!get a cast net and learn to catch them yourself.Good episode as always 👍👍👍

[@jensen7194]

As "genuine" as usual!!....Good edit, Great knowledge for all!!!...Keep it up!!!!

[@centuriontunnel]

Been following you both for a while and just wanted to say Thank you. You both are awesome.

[@Neillypoo2007]

Your ANZAC piece was brilliant. Good work.

[@frannymeh]

I came across your channel by accident, and now I love watching you guys videos. I'll be subscribing :) Also, hello from Thursday island 💚💙 just wanted to quickly mention that I saw my Cousin (2:03) the girl who waves at the camera 😊😁

[@HokuloaUilani]

I had the Honor of attending and participating in ANZAC ceremonies when I was in the Army Band in Hawaii. We did several tours of the South Pacific and performed for ANZAC/Returned Services in NZ and Australia. That is where I learned to enjoy beer as a young greenhorn soldier.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks for taking the time to let us hear about it. Much appreciated.

[@brianmardon7123]

Great video as usual . Cool haircut Moite.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Hey Troy and Pascale. +MiQ Bohlin turned us onto you when we sailed together in Bahamas a few months ago. Love your work. The shark behaviour with the speared fish was a real insight. Respect to you both. Stew and Zaya

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Lovely to hear we have a mutual friend. Welcome to the crew, hope you enjoy all our shows.

[@waynedoeblin6801]

Hi Troy and Pascale,another really awesome episode,I didn't know some of that military information about Thursday Island,thanks for sharing your terrific experiences with us👍😊

[@doug1030]

Good to see you both. Very informative. Lovely couple. Going to try the yogurt.

[@mhen7197]

I always tell folks the last video was the best...and then another one comes out !!! (still the BEST was the lure lost... and redemption E28)

[@bazbbeeb7226]

wifey failed in her attempt to make yoghurt last week, after watching this she is straight into the kitchen for a second attempt. Thanks:)

[@midgoog2]

So many men listed on the memorial from a small community. It is truly tragic. Eric

[@bobarnall3913]

Great video again, I like my mullet smoked. Thanks for the lesson on making yogurt.

[@SailingMalie]

Interesting to hear about the Thermos, Ive been looking at getting a few for my trip simply because as you said it was an age old brand. Another excellent production, well done.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We won't get the wide mouth ones any more but perhaps the all steel narrow mouth ones are still ok. That does limit their usefulness though.

[@amarieshearer7613]

Nice to see you sailing, the fish looked good!

[@robertkimbrough4284]

Great video as always guy's! Love the way you show us about the local community wherever you go! You make it look so easy to make yogurt! ,,,,,,/),,,,,,

[@Billorg48]

Hi Troy & Pasqual, Great videos and as usual enjoy every moment of them. Your sound quality is exellent ( have you updated your mic) ? Best regards and look forward to more episodes. Bill far North Thailand.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We have Bill. We have been busy reinvesting the donations from our audience on better filming gear.

[@Billorg48]

Free Range Sailing Hi Troy and Pascale, Sorry Pascale for the mispellt name! Keep up the good work mate and I am sure your investments will pay off.

[@huds5005]

wow, had no idea it was that easy to make yogurt. I am always learning with you guys.

[@brianhassett571]

You guys are amazing! love it

[@joec9016]

Makes me think of my one trip to Australia when I was staying in Sydney helping to integrate some systems for Telstra out in Parammatta. I was staying in a hotel on Hyde Park looking down on the ANZAC memorial and happened to be the ANZAC parade one day. I was there for about 3 weeks and got out and about a bit to Manly, Taronga, Blue Mountains. I learned you folks have a much better work/life balance than we do here (Boston USA). The Telstra guys were funny teaching me things like Map of Tazzy and if I tried Vegemite, I might not miss my wife so much.

[@Jfwr2010]

Thank you for another great video...Very interesting info!

[@anthonyflores4842]

Your friends from the Wylie ,TX love and admire you and your efforts !!!!! Someday we will meet you and feed you proper!!!! In the proper tex-fashion! Until then, keep up the AMAZING WK!

[@Richdudevids]

good show as allways i love it , thanks for sharing.

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

your AWESOME!~~~~!!!!

[@l4rrikin]

..and here I thought I'd be getting an essay on the choice between a single-plugger vs. double-plugger thong, but you fooled me yet again with a whole different kind of culture.. very tricky :)

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Double plugger is king. The joy of a cheaper purchase will be forgotten as you try everything to repair your single plug thong to meet the pubs shoe policy.

[@bobaloo2012]

I picked up a nice strainer with a matching bowl, so after the yogurt is set I dump it in there for a few ours and get thickened yogurt / Greek yogurt if you like that. Really easy.

[@lkm5462]

How I use to make my yogurt on a wood cooker. I was clean , but not fastidious and never had it go sideways. Glad you’ve brought it forward again. Use to buy fifty pound sack of milk powder . Nice vid.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

That's a hell of a lot of powder! Wish we had those stores

[@taylorsukoshi6126]

Tried your biltong recipe, excellent! I like my biltong juicy, which can be hard to find, now I can make my own, thanks. Fair winds.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Raffy's legacy spreads!

[@vanveen8472]

thank you, I love my yogurt but not always available, your video's are always great

[@StormLaker]

Your videos get better and better:-).

[@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

heya nice way to make your own fresh yohurt

[@victorbitter583]

Who knew making yogurt was so easy? not me. Mullet are a very underrated fish. I like to cut the ribs on one side of the spine and open them up and smoke them. delicious. Thanks for another great vid. cheers.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

That's great on Barra too

[@O_Dingo77]

Nice thanks, My mum used to make yoghurt, but I forgot what she told me. Your video's somewhat replenish what I didn't pay attention to.

[@ronaldjohnson2056]

I had a Thermos Bottle Co, in my home town in the 1950's their glass bottles would keep coffee hot almost day. while out hunting in fall an winter . Then they close that plant an the product went to crap. Wish they has never changed still one old glass one left it is 50 years old.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Offshoring manufacturing was the sin that just keeps giving.

[@niccat7051]

Ahh a Friday fix of free range 👍 perfect! Cheers guys!!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks NICCAT

[@razzorbladz]

yeah you need to opshop for a vintage thermos,In south Australia Savers is the new king of opshops

[@akkebengtsson6232]

You two have a unique take on producing a sailing vlog. Keeps me glued to the screen. Have been tempted to try out youghurt making using powdered milk for a while and suddenly felt more inspired after watching you. Do you use full-fat or non-fat milk powder. We have hitherto only used non-fat aboard because we don’t like the taste of the full-fat variant even when it is fresh and in our experience it rapidly turns rancid even in the (in your frame of reference paltry summer temperatures in the Baltic.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We use full fat. Once you start making yoghurt once or twice a week you get through a packet quick enough to avoid it going rancid. If you're worried you could always put it in the fridge once opened.

[@fisheater844]

Another great video, hope you checked out the gardens boardwalk off Greenspopes Street.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We've spent much time there. Really great asset for Cairns.

[@stratman50th]

Do we have to watch the entire commercial in order for you to get paid? I normally skip but will gladly sit through it if it helps.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

It definitely helps us Don but I hate to ask that of you!

[@stratman50th]

Very easy for me to do! I appreciate the videos.

[@davidclarke7728]

So, where you were in the water with the children and collecting the fish , are there no sharks or crocs there?

[@davidwhite8168]

Thank you for another wonderful video!

[@juanjosesanchez2819]

Thats is very true aboud termo

[@sharyn208]

Yes we also have been through a number of thermoses, it's hard to find a good one. Yes you're right, bean counters have been the downfall of many good companies.

[@peterdriscoll4070]

Yeh for Troy and Pascale.

[@ohillbilly]

Never was much of a yogurt person till the last ten'ish years or so. Guess I need to learn not to eat right outta the tub now. .... Thanks for the How-to!!

[@p.d.smithjr.3277]

Bean counters have ravaged fine companies in the U. S. as well. They are lazy and short sighted. As a business owner I know it can be hard to make money on a product that last, however, quality has it’s own rewards. I’ll take pride and smaller profits any day!!!!!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

You're our kind of people!

[@alvessail4718]

Yamy 😎

[@percival3830]

Yeah, I've been disappointed with Thermos too.

[@alohathaxted]

I heat the milk on the stove until my finger can’t just stand the heat of the milk and then pull it off the stove and mix the starter yogurt in. Put the container in a warm place over night. If you put the container in a net bag and hang it from the ceiling, how is that not like a gimbaled stove?

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We thought that temp might kill the bacteria. No? The net bag is a bit different in that it can synchronise with each roll and the swings get bigger. That's what happens in a hammock stretched along the length of the boat.

[@slowerpicker]

Which of you plays the bajolele (last image)? Maybe someday you'll play us a tune!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Troy is shown playing on our Ashmore Reef episodes just shown.

[@CraigOverend]

EPIRB Yogurt for those chili pepper emergencies.

[@nigelmarx3578]

Interesting to see the fish cooked whole like that. Would you guys recommend that? I'm thinking of trying it out on some other fish. I learned to make yoghurt like that in a thermos 50 years ago as a youngster, staying with my friend who was from a Dutch family.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

With mullet cooking the fish whole without removing the guts works well but we'd recommend removing the guts and gills for most other fish before cooking whole on the fire as they tend to impart a bitter flavour in the meat. Are you lucky enough to still have an old thermos!?

[@nigelmarx3578]

Free Range Sailing yes, I've got one with a wide mouth and a cork stopper. Belonged to my grandmother.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Woah we're totally jealous! The wide mouth is what you need for making the yoghurt!

[@steviefordranger198]

Just checked my “thermos”, it’s an Aladdin made in Nashville, Tennessee. Not sure how old but it’s steel with a great hammer plate green colour. Great episode guys, I used to make yoghurt when I lived in the bush but now I’m 25 mins from Aldi and their Greek style full cream yoghurt is under $4 and to die for. Leaving the guts in the fish surprised me, I think I’d rather have that internal cavity clean as a whistle before cooking and where are you gonna put the lemon garlic butter?

[@victorbitter583]

I'm always ducking into op shops for a bargain. i'll keep my eye out for old thermos with a big mouth and if i find them, i'll send them on to you.

One more trip in the Torres Strait then down the coast of Queensland.

[@spinkey4842]

i agree, thermos is now garbage, along with almost every product that you can find on a shelf. now we have to pay a premium for quality items that last longer than a damn season

[@unclerob617]

I could watch you shake yogurt all day long ;)

[@joshsymons7478]

So good to see kids living like that and not on their I pads

[@SteveWrightNZ]

You can also buy dry powder yoghurt culture in a packet

[@FreeRangeLiving]

And we do but they don't seem to do as well as fresh cultures. Not sure why.

[@Kilocharlie33]

I wondered what happen to Thermos, used one for years in the Navy, stop buying them as they were not doing the job, seals not good overtime.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

I saw an old one survive being run over by a Landrover so I was a bit upset that ours couldn't cope with a yacht galley.

[@austingode]

Are Torres islanders polynesian ?

[@FreeRangeLiving]

No, Melanesian but Laurie had some Maori ancestry and they are Polynesian descended. Theres a bit of mixing up there from the pearling industry days.

[@austingode]

Thanks 🙏

[@fitzyholden1036]

Just in case you missed the news about Capilano and Allowrie honey, stop buying it. They are in the shit for advertising it as pure Australian honey while mixing in suspect honey from China. More recently many more brands have been tested and found to be doing the same. And rip the label off that tub, they sure don't deserve the free advertising :)

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We try to buy direct from the apiarist each time but that's news to us about those industry suppliers. Scumbags

[@barkly1992]

When on Badu remember those 4 adults and 1 child who tragically lost their lives through Department of Immigration incompetence. Malu Sara lost after running out of fuel and taking water.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

I'll look into it.

[@barkly1992]

I worked in Immigration when it went down and was seconded to a Malu Sara taskforce (5 of us) and worked on handling the preparation up to and after the coronial inquiry. Our local NQ manager on TI was a disgrace but resigned before any action could be taken. The accident should never have happened. Google Malu Sara.

[@markjennings2315]

Isnt it dangerous the eat fish with guts still in lol

[@HokuloaUilani]

We eat a range of fish the way you enjoyed your Mullet. The fat is the best...

[@MrCbass1234]

You need to make a correction on your temperature you're talkin Celsius degrees is pretty cold at 45 Fahrenheit degrees

[@steviefordranger198]

MrCbass1234 Last time I checked only 3 countries in world use imperial measurement. You’re in great company with Liberia and Myanmar so I think it’s time you do the conversion from metric to the obsolete imperial.

[@matage1010]

A correction? To an obsolete system?

[@jerrycrockett2545]

MrChass1234 There's a big wide world out there. You owe it to yourself to travel a bit, learn a few languages, get outside your comfort zone. At the very least recognize that we Americans are behind the curve on adopting the metric system.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

I take your point, we have alot of older viewers in the states so we'll remember it. When I'm talking measurements I do operate in metric and imperial so that will be even more confusing for everyone.

[@Jimmy_73]

You keep pronouncing yoghurt like the yanks do; incorrectly. Apart from that, as you were. Excellent vids, keep up the good work.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Come for the sailing, stay for the phonetic instruction!

[@deeparks3112]

Consumer goods and tools made in China today are not to be confused with goods and tools made during earlier eras. All the old brands have been appropriated and are being produced in China these days. The result is uniformly poor quality, particularly with power tools which are made to look like the old stuff but do not function or last as did the power tools our grandfathers and fathers relied upon.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

My favourite rant. Chinese tools and the treacherous offshoring that led to the flood.

[@richevans1270]

True THERMOS BRAND IS TRASH .UNLESS you find a fifty year old one they still work fine .😉
