Hey bro, I’m from the U.K. and I love your videos, I have really bad anxiety and depression, I always come to your videos to help me relax and disconnect from all the shit happening in my life, keep up the good work bro I have loved watching you grow.

[@addfoxy]

Same, always good to chill out and enjoy these.

[@grotevijver]

Same here, aspergers (autism spectrum), don't like to go/be outside because there's loads of people...can't stand it. These videos help me too to "disconnect" from that crazy stuff outside. We'll manage, just try to be safe in your "safe spot", nothing wrong with that! (and i don't mean that covid shite). When shit hits the fan, we just go hide in our safe shell/little cave, only to come out when the waters calm down (and people stop poking us). You're not alone!

[@tomonagaoutdoors]

My vote is Yes. More content like this. Rustic looking and delicious.

[@knucklesskinner253]

But why didn’t he just get sea salt by boling sea water??

[@omeadpooladzandi9786]

I have been watching for like 2 years now. I remember when you quit the sushi place for youtube and I remember the first time you used those same pots and pans with the green handles that u did camping in this video. I remember the first time you went diving with some people on the channel and now ur comfortable enough to go solo even if it was in a small cove. Your video production has gotten so much better and just everything. I am so excited for you to get more viewers. Keep the amazing content coming!

[@MDestron2282]

When you first said "I wanna dive here" I thought you said DIE.... and I looked around at the cave and the waves, the beautiful water and thought to myself "yeah, that would be a pretty nice place to go out".

That's what I heard too and I was a bit concerned. Luckily he repeated what he said.

Next time you head overseas, you should meet up with Craig Evans, who does coastal foraging in Wales. Another one of my favorite channels.

[@jennchen7912]

Craig Evans is so knowledgeable in his foraging videos. A must see.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Craig is one of the reasons I started my channel. I used to comment on his videos and told him I do similar stuff in California and was thinking about starting a channel. He replied to me saying he wanted to see what we can harvest here so I should start it. And here we are today!

[@harambesnestpodcast-8742]

It is truly amazing to see people like yourself with the level of knowledge, care, and respect for ocean life. From sustainable practices, to helping to maintain some balance in the ocean like harvesting the purple urchin more, it all goes a long way.

[@eddiesakuda1041]

Taku your presentation is top notch!! I guess you being a Sushi chef and all! You should swap the crank handle to the left side of the reel...cast with the right hand crank with left hand! Jus'sayin'...

THIS is what sets Taku apart from the other youtubers. Bringing his creativity as a chef and seeing what he makes on the fly. Keep doing what you are doing!

[@natashad3972]

You’ve mastered so much within the years I’ve been following your channel. The time and dedication you put in is much appreciated. Thanks to you to Jocelyn 🥰

[@irisdavis5582]

Im terrified of the ocean and your videos have really inspired me to try and conquer my fears. Last time i went to the beach i got about knee deep without freaking out! (I also got stung by a jellyfish and didnt cry) Im pretty proud of myself even if it doesnt seem like a huge milestone

[@timothyogburn7656]

Your content is so valuable to so many folks ,brings light to the fact you can survive off of what mother ocean provides, if theres ever a societal collapse, your channel watchers will thrive.

[@itsgonnabeeug]

Watching your videos reminded me of when my wife and I used to tent camp and stuff. We used that exact same REI tent too. We continued to use the tent until my wife got pregnant. Now all I can say is enjoy the outdoors while you can. Kids change EVERYTHING. EV.ER.Y.THING. The only catching I do is up on sleep when I can. I live vicariously through your videos good sir. Keep up the great content!

[@moondog-HMB]

Ya those camping tents sure can get a gal pregnant...

[@justinm.3594]

I love videos like these because we get to see 3 separate meals. Watching you cook is a reflection of yourself and I feel like we all get to know you a bit better every video!

[@pekanpi434]

The smoke and the kelp must add incredible flavor. Then add the smoked uni!! My shoes would taste good with that on it.

[@yengsta]

Agreed with everyone else. I enjoyed every bit of this video, but my favorite part is the underwater footage with that relaxing piano music & narration!❤ Definitely so soothing & relaxing being able to live through you & your awesome adventures. Keep it up bro!

[@ChrisPfish2]

That underwater footage is amazing. Your brave to go down there, must be a thrill. I imagine Jocelyn is also holding her breath but above water waiting for you to pop your head up lol. Fun video, thank you!

[@MagnusSentDooM]

The perfect van life couple! Cannot wait to see the new content/adventures/dishes!

[@piedpyper9034]

I really appreciate these videos Taku, they've helped rekindle my passion for nature and cooking this year. It's great that you are touching on the overabundance of the urchins and how they are destroying the kelp forests. The Elakha alliance is trying to get sea otters reintroduced in Oregon and other parts of the west coast. The sea otters are the natural predators for these urchins and since the otters have been wiped out, the urchins are taking over. If anyone is interested in helping I encourage them to check out the Elakha Alliance website for more information.

[@mochielucky1688]

You're living the life Taku! watching your vids really help me be less depressed from all the BS that's going on with life and this whole pandamic thing....Stay safe and keep the vids coming Please!

I can't put my finger on why I love your channel. Just kidding! Here is my top 4! 1. You are an excellent fisherman/Forager. 2. You are a kick ass chef. 3. You are an excellent cinematographer/Editor! 4. You and Jocelyn are a great team!! Love you guys, keep making more videos!!!

[@brianmorales]

This content is so soothing! Great evolution and kudos to the quality!

[@jgreen5849]

This is one of my favorite channels! Each video is fun, relaxing, and even better, educational. I always learn something from each video, whether it be about the ocean, the forest, fishing, foraging. I especially like videos about harvesting seaweed, something I'd like to do in the future. It's sustainable, healthy, delicious, and you learn about the ocean while you're doing it.

Dibs on the fish lips! I'm disabled with Neuropathy from my back down and I'm off my feet lying down about 90 to 95 percent of my days.

[@EnycmaPie]

It actually takes a lot of time to desalinate sea water into sea salt. You need a lot of sea water for a little bit of salt. Its not something you can just do on a whim.

[@Eric-zs6rd]

@@EnycmaPie Wrong. I don't know why people spew misinformation without looking it up. 2 cups of seawater boiled off would have produced enough salt to salt his dish. 12 cups will produce 100 grams. See this video in which the guy does it, or dozens of other vids. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYu0k4Slnah4jZI
