Eating Only what I Catch for 3 Days (Lake Trout, Mushroom, Wild Leeks)

I decided to eat only what I caught and found for the last three days! This was probably one of the most difficult things I've done on this channel. If this video gets over 12,000 likes ill do another. I dunno. I starve myself to live I guess.

FYI you can take the asparagus. In fact, its good to take it when its a single stalk like that. It promotes the growth of new shoots, giving more to harvest. Usually the large single stalks like that aren't the tastiest but theyll work in a pinch

[@artbabyjade]

Y’all are so resourceful! I never knew about wild asparagus until this moment x

[@sumswaggaming]

we usually go hunting for it in the spring right after a morning rain storm... the big stalks are always a no go but im sure its edible. the big ones when they have all the off shoots like that we call it "weeded out" very bitter, woody and ive also heard that its slightly toxic.

It's actually a common side affect of fasting. Nothing to do with protein vs carbs or fats. What's funny is I like watching these videos but constantly do 72+ hour fasts simply for the autophagy, mental clarity and other health benefits. So it's not really impressive to watch someone complain about only eat a small amount of food for the first day, but I still like the videos regardless.

[@Sosuhhhh]

I have to admit. I watched him catch the fish at 33:50 about 3 times already and it's still suspenseful. And his excitement after is so wholesome~. Love the channel Mav!

I'd recommend next time you do this, to have one 'cheat' food in case you don't catch or find anything...like a granola bar or protein shake or an apple. And if you do catch or forage something, that you are able to add one addition item such rice, risotto, or pasta. Also, I'm betting that lack of caffeine was part of the fog you were experiencing. Coffee, water and spices for cooking should be freebies.

What kind of knife were you using on those mushrooms? You need to dig a lot more wild leek (ramp). And eat the leaves too, I like them the best. Did you save the smelt, from the lake trout?

I love this apartment! You two have really done a cool job decorating. I wish I had one as cool when I was in my 20's. I have a question about your fishing gear. What was the set-up when you caught that second lake trout. You said the reel did not have a clicker, but you noticed the board. What is the? How do you use it? I am unfamiliar with this type of fishing. I have one more question. With all this expensive fishing gear, boat, and accessories, why did you cheap out on the one important piece to getting a fish in the boat? Does that make sense? I am super glad you caught those two fish. That lake is HUGE, and the fact you caught the first one on a weird set-up for the situation, is a miracle. Good work! Looking forward to the rest of the video.
