[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

They do vary in sound quality KwonAys,regards Craig

[@cd1673]

It's always such a special treat to see you've posted a new video. I feel like I'm taking a Life on the Pembrokeshire Seaside class and you are an excellent teacher. Using the clear box 👍 I loved hearing about the creatures and the gobis and blenneys are wonderful. Personal favorite was the rock encrusted urchin. THANK YOU so much for these. I love each one, for different reasons. And the pup got a lesson, too, and like me... loved every minute.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Again thank you for your kind words,many more to come,regards Craig

You have AMAZING tide pools! The coastal life you enjoy is just wonderful. I love the exploration. I could lose days just poking around in those and looking them all up in my books. Thanks for a lovely video!

You are of a similar persuasion to me R .McBride,I could spend all my time doing this,regards Craig

R.I.P crabs under falling rock lol....

[@billsmith-rq7ki]

Don't worry, the butter fish have to eat.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

They were fine ,there was a stone that kept the rock from crushing them-that's how they got under the rock in the first place,regards Craig

[@billsmith-rq7ki]

I can't speak for Darth, but I was joking, I love your video's

[@blindhowlingdrunk]

Luke IamYourFather 😂

[@diliu6298]

love all the videos you made!

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Glad you like them Di,regards Craig

[@CelticSaint]

I must admit I am dead jealous that you have so much life in, on and around your beaches. I was born and lived in Cornwall for many years, but even there we didn't have such a variety.

[@psychomaji]

We have loads of stuff in Cornwall! You just need to find the right areas. South Coast is better for it really.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

You are quite correct J M ,it depends where you look, if you look for the habitat type ,you will invariably find the life associated with it ,regards Craig

[@neonono477]

Celtic Whisper I live in cornwall rn there is nothing here

[@colinbrown4008]

Just found your channel and it's one of the best on KZbin, #awesome

[@nomadicoasis9260]

Interesting ... never heard of a bootlace worm . pity the pour sod measuring the 150 ft. worm. thanks for the tour

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Yes they are strange creatures,regards Craig

[@howardpower]

Lol that silly puppy is sooooo cute. I love his curiosity though. His nose is in overdrive hehe. Next time I go to the beach or shore somewhere, it got me curious about what’s underneath those rocks.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

It's a different world under the rocks Howard ,but please ensure you place the rocks back as they were. Llew is very curious,he doesn't want to miss anything ,regards Craig

[@stevecunliffe2151]

I fell asleep while watching this then dreamt I was walking around the coast foraging with you Craig hahaa.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Some people would consider that a nightmare Steve lol,regards Craig

[@stevecunliffe2151]

Thats hilarious!

[@maxwilliams1060]

So amazing, I went to Bude rockpooling, lifted 100 stones and found one fish, you lift one stone and find 9 crabs...Ffs...

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Perhaps you are looking in the wrong type of habitat Max,regards Craig

[@frizenies3659]

YAAAAY im happy now because you made a video on 20182

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Is it your birthday Kunai 223,regards Craig

[@moovvn]

Great video, just wondering when there will be another video with cooking? Im always fascinated with the recipes you come up with, great stuff :)

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Many thanks mo:v,I plan to do a foraging and cooking video next weekend,regards Craig

[@KnightLifeVlogs]

So much sea life !

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Yes ,life everywhere Knightlife,regards Craig

[@tonyhoang987]

The rocky coast of the Pacific Northwest in Oregon/Washington, US has a striking amount of similarities in the shore life. We do have shore crabs, juvenile ocean crabs, razor clams, limpets, varying types of seaweed similar in size, shape and colour, mussels, barnacles, sea anemones, oysters (ours seem to grow bigger) as well as the many types of fish, prawns, and snails/whelks. One thing we don't have are lobsters however. Amazing how life can be similar even across the world.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Yes Anthony ,it is really interesting how certain creatures evolve in a similar way in similar environments,regards Craig

[@purplegrapebrudda9950]

Hi mate im very late to this but jm going to pembrokeshire very soon have a big marine tank at home with just native species, what bay/beach would you say is the best in the areas you go for things like squat lobsters and corkwing wrasse and scorpionfish, generally things you wouldnt find except pembrokeshire

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

A very low Spring tide is best and I feel that the right hand side of Lydstep Haven is great as are East Dale and the South side of Newgale beach are real hotspots- I hope this helps, cheers Craig !

[@purplegrapebrudda9950]

Thanks mate​@@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447

[@christinahutchens5433]

I love your videos. I want to do this, but I'm not sure what I'd find in Alabama, lol.

[@idiotdusst3772]

Knowledgeable person

[@specialspiggle]

I so want to do this. And my dogs would enjoy it also.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

We really enjoy this too specialspiggle,regards Craig

[@tomasmichael7512]

That stone anchor with a hole at 15:00, how old do you think it is?

[@doserpoeweriejwpo1572]

5 days

[@amefuraggamuffin]

he says it so nonchalantly! but that's crazy cool! A stone for an anchor!?

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

I should imagine at least 200 years,the cliff by the shore was quarried for limestone, and taken away by boat . Regards Craig

[@markcoyle5648]

The green worms look radioactive..!

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

It never ceases to amaze me Mark,that there are so many colours to be found on our shores,regards Craig

[@BlopO0396]

This guy knows his shit

[@jrwennies]

Hi can you please show more footage of the dog. He's adorable

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

No problem therwen,regards Craig

[@imanibrantley7988]

I keep watching and asking myself why I haven’t subscribed yet... I shall do so now

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Welcome Imani,regards Craig

[@slaprakshas]

Your videos are thrillers! Im always scared of you getting bitten by stone fishes, cone shells, jelly and scorpion fishes.. thankfully you have managed to survive so far. The place I live is full of such animals so I ve never tried foraging in coastal tide pools

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

We are very fortunate here in Wales UK,there is very little that can hurt or poison us here. Our scorpion fish do not have poisonous spines spines. Regards Craig

[@kyrgyzjeff4550]

I want o move to Wales Now!

[@jasonblair1114]

I thought that pie crust crabs were only found around New Zealand and Australia, or are these a different species? Thanks for the video, regards.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

They are xantho species of crabs J Blair also known as pie crust or furrowed crabs,regards Craig

[@andrewb.5996]

2:07.....kills the lot of them!

[@lukagacio4103]

2:07 WTF 😂 That is Brutal

[@obnoxiouspriestify]

I'm confused about the feather star at 13:00. I'm an aquarist and I thought feather stars were in the crinoid family and were saltwater not freshwater as mentioned? Also I could be wrong but I don't think they're really related to starfish lol

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

You are spot on Clyde-outdoor-products,as I film all the videos live and unscripted ,I meant to say " clean " water ,not fresh water LOl. They are crinoids and feed from the water column-sorry for the confusion. Good luck with your aquarium, I kept a native marine tank for about 10 years and hope to restart this year,regards Craig

[@obnoxiouspriestify]

Darn, was hoping I was wrong! Haha. Ah well, I hear crinoids are damn near impossible to keep anyway. Thanks for the reply and would love to see a native tank from that area! Keep up the good work Craig! Love the vids

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Thank you Clyde,I hope to restart my aquarium towards the end of the year (after I have established my foraging business- www coastalforaging.co.uk ). It is my intention to upload videos on the set up and sourcing the of the inhabitants,regards Craig

[@AlchemyMelbourne]

2:07 RIP crabs

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

They were fine ,a stone prevented the large rock from crushing them,regards Craig

[@CYPHERWasHere]

Hey Craig, been watching some of your videos for a while now, i would really like to go to Wales, Could you tell me where this is filmed? Best Regards.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Thank you Cyph3rr, I film from the coast of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire and occasionally on the Gower Peninsula,regards Craig

[@CYPHERWasHere]

Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans Thanks Craig, would look into it, could you please tell me the exact location of where this video was filmed as I would like to go to this place in summer, many thanks!

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

I'm sorry Cyph3rr, I would not wish to give the exact location publicly due to over harvesting etc,it is South Pembrokeshire . If you could send me a personal message then , I would be pleased to let you know,regards Craig

[@CYPHERWasHere]

That is fine Crag, I will private message you

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

I have replied,regards Craig

[@joecgirl]

I'm surprised you don't get pinched more from those tiny crab!

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Those small crabs don't hurt that much Jacie,I am much more wary of the bigger crabs and lobsters,regards Craig

[@screams4tina]

I adore your videos. Next time forage & cook?

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

We need some better weather and tides Tina,regards Craig

[@simonrawle7885]

the wor was a Hediste diversicolor common ragworm

[@swift_drifts2139]

Exmouth is good for rockpoling in some areas and I caught a large black blenny with light blue spots and an almost duck like bill and I don't know what species it is

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Hi Swift_Drifts21 , it sounds like a Cornish Clingfish, they grow to about 10cms, a very pretty fish. You may also find Conammara Clingfish,they are similar but with red spots, I hope this helps,regards Craig

[@Shaunfuck]

as someone who doesn't know a whole lot about sea life, Im just wondering why those small crabs always seem so lethargic when being handled?

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

That's just the way they are normally Shaun,Velvet swimming crabs are always must faster,regards Craig

[@emilyfu435]

Please continue to make videos!! 90% if the time you’re pointing stuff out on the bottom of the rocks and I’m still like ????? Where???? Where is it???? But I very much enjoy them

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Thank you Emily ,we are in Wales UK ,regards Craig

[@DPIprintsolution]

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Cheers Dpi printsolution,regards Craig

[@DPIprintsolution]

Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans hows the weather out there sir...

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Brilliant blue cloudless skies today,but a bit chilly 3 centigrade presently,slight easterly wind,regards Craig

[@DPIprintsolution]

Nice.. canr wait for the next vid.. keep safe.. more power!!

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Just hope the weather holds,regards Craig

[@ashinos]

The amount of crustaceans you guys find is ridiculous, would love to spend a day digging around in the rocks like that... Where I live it’s pretty difficult to find large crabs and other stuff of that sort

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Our coastline provides many types of diverse habitats Ashinos,from mudflats,estuaries,sandy beaches,rocky shores,sand dunes etc,regards Craig

[@patshhi4620]

Is the lettuce on top of the rocks good to eat?

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Yes Patshhi4 it is very nice,it can be eaten raw in a salad,deep fried until crisp,grilled and then crumbled to small pieces to use as a savoury condiment and used as a wrapping to steam fish etc,regards Craig

[@vonnkhy947]

catch and cook :)

[@CryMoar_]

No animals were harmed in the making of this... oh wait 2:07

[@agnesagnes9540]

What's the taste of razor clam?

[@tombielby9454]

Do you do tours for public as a job and if so we're can I find info on them please

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

I will be very soon Tom, www.coastalforaging.co.uk ,regards Craig

[@tombielby9454]

Sounds great ! I'm going near phwelli soon think that's how you spell it haha what sort of spots are there up thee and what will I find in June time

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Pwllheli is at least 3 hours from here ,but June is a great time to forage,plants will be at their best and Spider Crab season will be in full swing ,regards Craig.

[@jonathanmosebach7107]

Where is this beach! I would love to come exploring! I live in the US...BUT your adventures are awesome! P.S. Have you ever been to Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch?

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

yes Johnathan , I have been to llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerwchchwyrndobwllllantyssiliogogogoch ,great spelling by the way ! I don't wish to say whee the beach is ,in case it attracts "too much " attention,however it is in the limestone coastline of South Pembrokeshire,regards Craig

[@ladyema8836]

Every time you drop the rock I think, "OH NO!" Thinking what gets crushed :(

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

The rock was dropped onto the small stone that created the gap for the crabs etc to shelter there in the first instance,regards Craig

[@BonBon-oq5pl]

16:04 that looks like a popcorn kernal

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

It does a little BrainBread,it is in fact a "Flat" periwinkle,they are found in many different colours but yellow is the most common,they graze the algea that grow on the sea weed,regards Craig

[@robbyrobrob1]

Grew up doing that. I didn't know it was a thing.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Must have been great Rob,some of us have been very fortunate,regards Craig

[@stefanms8803]

everything is brown or gray

[@thegit8698]

Tickling fish, now that is a term i used to hear said a lot when i was a young teenager, how are you so knowledgeable about coastal sea life? I think you know more than the average person living on the coast would know, I've seen rocks with holes in them like that and didn't know how they would get like that but now i do, very interesting.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Hi Jas ,I spent my childhood "tickling" trout around GwaunCaeGurwen in the Amman valley. I've studied our local coastline and sea life since I was very young .Regards Craig

[@thegit8698]

Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans I'm from the pontardawe area originally, lots of my friends went to the old lower cwmtawe comp there, the waun school, a good friend of mine used to live on neuadd road in the old doctors house and a stream runs right at the edge of the property if i remember right, small world eh?

[@patshhi4620]

The rasse is pretty.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

It is Patshhi4,it is a "Corkwing Wrasse",we have an even more colourful wrasse here called a "Cuckoo Wrasse",it lives in deeper water ,but would rival and fish from a coral reef,regards Craig
