Cutting The Line - Gear Breakdown Ep2

Behind the scenes at Ocean Conservation Namibia! 🦭
Chapters:
0:00 Start
1:03 Skip the intro
Our nets have been a game-changer to the way we rescue seals, the number of seals we are able to rescue, and also the safety of the team. We are asked a lot of questions about this rescue tool and we're sure this Gear Breakdown video will shed some light on how our net designs and rescue strategies have evolved.
If you haven't watched our documentary, Cutting The Line, it is available to rent here: vimeo.com/ondemand/cuttingthe...

The net that keeps on giving. Rescuing 600 seals and now even more! Thank you for all your hard work, dedication and compassion and more. This brings tears of joy to my eyes and warms my heart. Peace and love to everyone! From the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.❤❤❤

[@prairiepanda]

I love that the construction and maintenance of these nets is supporting local businesses! It's great to see the old broken net being put to use as well rather than becoming trash. So much thought goes into everything you do!

[@ScottWorthington]

I don't know where the seals would be without these nets ... and the loving hands that deploy them.

[@sofiadelpilarlopezyvalenci124]

I love the slow motion with the 4 of you running to the rescue. You're just missing your heroes' capes.❤ Love you all.

Thank you for helping these innocent beautiful seals ❤❤❤❤

[@AmericanPatriot-1776]

I know it breaks your heart to have to cut apart a net, and at the same time it rescued so many precious beings who are thriving today. Using that net to repair others keeps the team moving forward with their rescues and taking care of Gods beloved creatures. You guys are awesome.

[@Neith29]

Followed this channel during the start of COVID and I am glad that you guys are gaining so much recognition for what you are going and continue to spread to others in this world. Many thanks for educating the netizens and giving the future generations hope.

[@brendapaws7933]

I love how Naude said about the old net "that it's a gift that keeps giving". That is so true the net is still helping you helping the seals. Thank you for sharing behind the sences with us.

[@theresehopkins1581]

Oh... the orange net!!! ❤❤❤❤❤🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@sandwell27]

The parts about catching by hand and the old net with 600+ rescues made me emotional. These guys work so hard and they started with almost nothing. Great editing and music and spotlighting the local tailor as well, I should see the full film!

[@flowersnyc]

Would be worth your time. It’s beautifully filmed.

[@MntViolet]

Always enjoy seeing humans being good for animals of any sort💜💜💜💜

[@veldawells2839]

The seals may not like the frequent chasing and capturing by those nets, the brief confinement, and pain. The seals will never understand why they are caught, until they find they can breath, heal and catch fish...and go "oh, that's why we get caught". Love this little vinyet, so informative, providing details of behind the scenes. Such a cohesive and amazing team. You literally "breath" life into these beautiful mammals. Heroes. ❤

[@user-gy8sw9zy1d]

You save nature, it's priceless. Thank you👍👍👍

This was an absolutely wonderful view of behind the scenes of the rescues of OCN. I must admit that I cringe/laugh when a net gets wet, while imagining the conversation AFTER the Go-Pro is turned off 😅

Nice information sir

[@wastingtime6417]

I love to watch them after they're released. They're so clumsy on land and then they just glide so smoothly into the water. It's wonderful.

[@shermarkle]

Hahahaha it would be neat to see bloopers. Naude talked about going down in a tangle of net. Awareness is the key to problem solving. That would certainly go viral. I love you all!

[@flowersnyc]

Great idea! Helpful to know these rescues are not as easy as scissors cutting thread.

[@j4v4x]

The giant orange cone was a gift from NOAA? I didn't know that! 💗💗 (Before the weather channel, we had a little cube-shaped NOAA radio that would broadcast local weather 24/7) Shout out to Immanuel the tailor for his fine work 💪 It looks like custom-ordered thread, and I was surprised to see him using a machine. It must have been a ball-point needle. If I'm ever in Namibia, I'll look you up, sir! (And ask you a million annoying questions)😁😁 Thank you to team OCN for this video!

[@jamesbarca7229]

I never realized NOAA sent you guys your first net. So glad to see our tax money go to something good! Good job NOAA.

I think God is watching you guys, and applauds everytime you catch a seal. Also think He chuckles at you when u say a bad word or two while catching those big ones and says"I did a good job making those seals, didnt I?!" Regardless, you all are my heros. I thank God for good men like you! ❤

[@veronicaschenk398]

Watching the sealS running but they are not designed to run. 😅 I just love the videos thanks for saving them❤

[@foxstrangler]

Great to see behind the scenes again. I was in Walvis Bay a month ago, round Pelican Point watching the seals. Amazing creatures, had 2 up on the Cat for their freebies. With that number of seals, you certainly have your work cut out. The Cat crew certainly promote your work, and the channel. Keep up the good work, and we will will keep supporting you.

This video makes we want to watch Cutting the Line again!😉 I think you said the big net weighs 11kg dry, but do you know how much when wet? It only seems fair that Aquaman carries the wet net since chances are he will just get the next dry one wet, too.😅 I enjoy seeing all the background info. Love OCN!❤

How is that fair, Linda?!? They weigh around 14kg when dry, and easily 25kg when wet and sandy.

We had prayed for knowledge worthy and wisdom worthy contents in VLOGS on KZbin.

We cry for those who are suffering and hurt by humanity’s ignorance. Opened up our eyes and others too.

Loved watching this "tale of the nets"; getting the background on the original nets and the hundreds of lives it saved, plus how the current nets are made and repaired. They've really come a long way to being pretty much tailor-made to Team OCN's requirements! Thanks for sharing the story.

[@carolkamaile1967]

I believe on a question and answer video 20 lbs.

Our rescue nets weigh around 14kg when dry. They become extremely heavy and hard to handle when wet and sandy.
