SURVIVING 2 WEEKS IN THE HARSH BUSH - LIVING OFF THE LAND

[@brentcanfield8883]

These videos are so addictive, and I think I understand why; Because it shows what we, as people, are meant to naturally do. The desire to watch, and then rewatch them stems from this. Awesome job as always, Matt.Keep it up!

[@owi2k7]

"... meant to naturally do" i find that comment funny.. bringing a car full with non natural stuff into nature. Dont get me wrong i like his videos but this comment is silly.

[@brentcanfield8883]

@@owi2k7 no, it's not silly;you're just not comprehending what I said accurately.Your reply is silly. The point is, he sets a great example to people in general. He's saying get OUT there and actually experience life.Don't just stay inside the house all the time and let your life rot away-Which is obviously what I was referencing when I said his videos show what we're "meant to naturally do." "Bringing a car with non natural stuff" is irrelevant; the point is to get OUT there and just experience nature any way you can. I mean, what would you rather him do-Only use sticks and parts of vines to make fishing gear as well, so he doesn't bring "non natural stuff" when he does these videos? C'mon son.

[@owi2k7]

@@brentcanfield8883 I just made a comment on you previous one - now the percpective of you is a bit clearer. Yes if he use stuff within nature only that would be survival for me - what he does is more camping. Both is fine with me.

Matt, you had a moment of brilliance in your last video with the drone shots and we would love to see more. The amount of work and time involved when editing these videos is much appreciated. As in the catch, clean and cook genre you are world class. I just wish we could hear some more from Mak10. We know she is busy with running the commercial side but we miss here. She could get involved in the comments section?

[@Ajaxykins]

Great video! Glad you got your knife back, and to the good Samaritan: glad there's good people like you around! For the catfish, as a man who grew up in Texas where we fry those up regularly, I'm surprised you threw it back! For the US south that's a favorite. But you really have to know how to prepare it well and be from good water sources for it to taste good.

That last part where you were sitting eating the bread brought back so many feelings. I've been there, after a day of slogging your guts out finding food and being able to sit back and take it all in. There is no better feeling and you captured that beautifully. The times I did it wasn't by choice, 2 to 4 days in the bush on a search mission (SES) with nothing but rope, a knife and an emergency can of spam. You are a champ showing the world in such a down to earth human way how awesome the Aussie bush can be.

There's a neat little trick with garlic you can do. Finely chop it, get it in a pile and add salt to the pile. Then take the flat of your knife to the pile crush it down slightly and drag the knife across the chopping board, do this a few times and you'll have a nice paste. Works a treat.

Great vid mate. I've been throwing a castnet for years and the under the arm and over the shoulder plus the pinkie finger trick are going to be getting a run.

[@adventuresinwonderland5592]

Ya getting the right idea with the crabs Matt good stuff man ! But just checking the sections near the abdominal flap will not properly determine if your crab is full you need to check the underside of the carapace. If a crab has rock hard sections near the abdominal flap it does not mean he will be properly full all over, he will likely have a full body n legs but his claws won’t be full. When you check the underside of the carapace and it’s rock hard you can be sure your crab will be full all over. Great videos man always exiting !
