Primitive Grilled Fish Wrap from the Ocean

Coastal areas of the oceans often offer the most abundant wild food sources. Fish and mollusks are obvious but one often overlooked food are the various species of marine algae. Kelp is a good survival food and in this video I swim out into the waves in search of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) and then bring a basket of kelp to my primitive hut where I hang it outside to dry. A few days later I bring a fish I had caught in the surf and wrap it in the dry kelp to grill it on the adobe stove for a healthy dinner.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Who films you?
I do. I travel alone, shoot, edit, upload, everything.
How many cameras do you use?
Usually I use just one camera. When I have underwater scenes then I also use a GoPro camera. I get different angles by moving the camera around and repeating the action to create a more cinematic viewing experience for the audience.
Where is this place?
In order to protect the integrity of the natural landscape I prefer to be very vague about the locations I use. There are places that I used to visit that were so beautiful and untouched but the consequences of social media brought all kinds of people to visit and sadly some people do not respect nature and have badly damaged these places. Therefore I do not share exactly where I go.
Do you workout?
Yes, I workout, but not in a gym. I have some weights that I use and also do a lot of bodyweight exercises. I also run and sometimes swim. I hike frequently do collect wild foods and to shoot these videos so I'm very active all the time.
Are you vegan or vegetarian?
I wish I could maintain my health on a primal diet that does not include animals but unfortunately that did not work and I ended up with health problems as a result of those attempts. From my studies, observations of nature, and personal experience I have come to believe that the best diet for optimal human health is a primal diet (paleo).

💚🤠🍃 Chazan, a tranquilidade que sinto ao ver este vídeo... Do mar à cabana, passando pela pequenina gruta da praia, o vislumbre da pena e do céu (achei repugnante aquele bicho na rocha! lol), o marulhar (som das ondas), dos pássaros a cantar... Enfim, perceber processo de como um jantar nutritivo chega até ti é, de facto, fantástico. Etapas simples mas que exigem zelo, a verdade é essa! Ainda pensei que fizesses uma tanga de algas mas, adiante, eu comeria as algas e o peixe... Gostei do modo como prendeste as algas para secar, foste muito rápido, prático e eficiente. Nenhum guaxinim te atacou as algas? Ah, e fiquei a aprender da função protectora, cicatrizante e hidrante do muco das algas. Hei-de experimentar... Desde que não venha também com covid agarrado!
