TREASURE HUNTING on Tropical Island

[@guillermodelnoche]

My first job at a steakhouse had a secret seasoning. It was 50% sea salt, 25% granulated roasted garlic and 25% ground black pepper in a simple metal shaker. It works perfectly for fish if you are looking to expand your cooking kit. It goes on anything. Cheers!

[@robroaring7175]

Have watched all of your vids. From the first big adventure and all. You are both so likeable. And it’s also great to see Fran evolve over the episodes. She used to be pretty quiet, and in one early vid, I recall her saying “I don’t wanna talk…they won’t like my accent” , or words to that effect. Now Fran is a completely equal contributor with info and her confidence of camera is evident. Great work you two. Big fan here. Keep these vids coming. Rob, Koonya, Tasmania

[@terryrose6208]

We get to explore a little right along with you. The scenery in and out of the water is fabulous. Top notch cinematography. The affection between you two is obvious which makes for an even better viewing experience for your fans.

[@Ariautoace]

This is nuts. I am so happy to find you guys concentrated on your channel with just you guys. The theme of showing us the beach and their inhabitants is marvelous. I am back. Love you both; thank you for this. So happy.

[@strickandfran]

Thank you so much Luke :)

[@samharper4289]

Y'all always visit the most beautiful places, aside from all the rubbish. Blessings and much love Strick and Fran! Always a real pleasure watching! 🙏 ❤

[@strickandfran]

Thank you so much Sam :)

I could watch you guys for hours on end!!! I love the island life!!!!! Spent 2 months on an uninhabited island when I was young, shouldn't have left !!!!!

[@mwillblade]

That's a story that needs to be told!

[@DJungling]

Thank you for showing plenty of Fran in this episode. She is the prettiest thing on the island. Hi Fran!

[@christinehunter7238]

It looks like a plug for a sink . Another awesome video.

[@brianl3883]

Fran your English is so good now. Your goodbye was so flawless, it took me a second to hear your beautiful accent! Speaking a second language is not something most Americans take the time to perfect. Good for you. Love your shows guys. Jack - I would love to see you attempt to build a stone oven with materials on island. I always wondered if it could be done.

[@strickandfran]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@jerredcoombs5257]

Fran, I know most posts are about how pretty you are and I agree , but you also seem to be a super sweet person. I hope you two continue for a long time.😊

[@carlpaladino427]

Run Forest run, got to love Frans sense of humor. Also Fran doing her Best Tippi Hedren impression from Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds.

[@richard_n]

I hope channels like this make more people aware of the pollution the ocean is going through. It's just sad seeing that much garbage on the beaches.

[@carlpaladino427]

It is sad to see these pristine places destroyed by peoples plastic garbage.

[@patpeterson2671]

Tsunami / Tidal Waves are the main cause of all the pollution in the worlds oceans and seas ....... mankind does not control them ...... mother nature does ........

[@carlpaladino427]

@@patpeterson2671 the tidal waves and tsunamis don’t create the plastic garbage, they just move it from place to place.

[@patpeterson2671]

@@carlpaladino427 Lmfao ........ do you have any idea of the magnitude of debris that is taken from coastal areas and towns and cities and wept into the oceans and seas yearly ........ keep thinking the way you think , you are part of the demise of the planet in your thinking .....you are not part of the solution ....let me guess , a snowflake Liberal ........ if so the downfall of mankind ..........

[@alangthorpe]

@@carlpaladino427 Yes it is but dont blame just us, on average 10, 000 shipping containers fall into the oceans from cargo ships every year but that seems acceptable or people are oblivious to the fact. Also in the uk our recycled waste which we collect in individual bins are shipped abroad bar 10% to be incinerated or go to landfill in some third world country just so we can tick a box to say we`re doing our bit to save the planet, as the Russians say " a fish rots from the head down"

Always a good day when Castaways uploads a new vid!

Timing is everything... And when Fran said "run Forest run" Perfect timing. Made me laugh 😆 Thanks for the videos! Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.

[@selfpropelled8916]

I love watching you both Fran is the perfect partner to be stranded on a tropical island. I have been wondering if you guys have run into World War two recks. Or abandon stuff on any of the islands you have been on. By the way I don't blame Fran for ducking from those Birds. Being attacked by large birds isn't very fun.

[@gregnz1]

Nesting Magpies attack people in Australia,

[@robertpunzul9273]

I am captivated by this setting. Your kindness and deep appreciation for the environment are truly remarkable.

[@TheOldaz1]

Love what you bring, miss those days, some great memories of the tropical north. Thanks guys, you're keeping this old bloke happy.

[@bbb8182]

Hey Strick-Tell Fran to do more talking about nature. I especially like hearing her speak on ocean creatures-she clearly is passionate about it and apparently quite knowledgeable?

[@foolsgold953]

I read somewhere that Fran is a Marine Biologist, so yes very passi Nate and knowledgable about sea creatures

[@duygukayhanisaskank4915]

​@@foolsgold953 Yes, Fran is a Marine Biologist & that's how she met Strict. She was his Supervisor. Or as she likes to say...his boss. 🙂 Best regards from Yucatan Mexico, Ben

[@kristineprescott]

Hey guys love your vids . The way to cook in under ground oven its called Lovo in Fiji is to dig a pit light a fire then put the rocks on the fire to heat the rocks ones the fire turns to coal and rock is hot you then put the fish that is wrapped in banana leaves coconut cream and lemon also goes good with the fish . As soon as you put the fish in you have to start covering the pit 1st with green leaves, banana leaves are the best as it gives good flavour then cover with soil or in your case sand until you don't see any smoke excape usually it will cook roughly same time as oven would but the end result is yummy and Amazing , hope you try it enjoy and stay safe 🙂

[@robertherzog2087]

This is the way I saw them cook on the beach in Okinawa while I was stationed there in 1970. Build a fire in a sand pit and when it burns down to coals, cover it with about an inch of sand or pebbles, lay the fish wrapped in banana or palm fronds, cover with an inch of sand and build a fire on top. When the top fire dies down to coals, scrap them away and remove the fish.

[@julianshalders6047]

Fran always smiling and affectionate, never whinges😊❤ 🙏 lovely lady 👌💕

I appreciate that you are both respectful and kind to one another. Makes me a bit jealous. ❤️

[@edwinporter8043]

Sorry Stick bur I am in love with Fran 😍. You both make a great team thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@danielkennedy5602]

Aside from the sad constant trash, I love how these two not only clean some of it up, they repurpose it so a two for one. But this kind of lifestyle is beautiful. Amazing surroundings, sights, sounds and experience you can't find on a screen. Too bad my wife wouldn't wanna go with me if I went lol!

[@glennburch1081]

I love EVERYTHING about your video format.......... keep em coming, TY.

[@BillChild2njoy]

Great program with two great people in "paradise" .. Really enjoyed your frankness and willingness to explore and enjoy the fruits of the Earth and share with us. The fish looked like it was deliciius.. Oh here is a simple quote I wrote that I kinda live by makes life nicer .. I call it the 3 BG's... "Be Good.. Be Glad... Be Grateful" and you two seem to be living it to... Very interesting episode full of excitement ... beautiful finds... beaches and waters.. 😊 thanks

[@Four_Words_And_Much_More]

I love the fish knowledge and the cooking of Fran. She is a master chef and I love the way she adapts her cooking to whatever is available. Good on ya Fran. Good job Strick on finding and winning Fran. Would that I could do as well. A cook that looks good. Wow. One problem, my mother said, never trust a skinny cook. But there Fran is doing well at cooking and as slender as a healthy woman can be.

[@simongear3940]

Another great episode guys. Loving this series of videos. Keep them coming. Thanks

Really enjoy your show. I lived there in the early 1970s, but never got to the high islands. Nearer the equator. Was at the bearer reef and Cains, but mainly lived in Sydney and Perth. I subscriber. Enjoy how you are comfortable in the environment and know your animals. Nice people. 💜❤🧡💛💚

What an adventure. An incredible island experience. No crocodiles, just sharks. Amazing the polluted items that wash up on distant islands.

Super cool beach find. 👍

[@kyldepper3938]

Love the honesty ‘leave Jack alone he’s a bit grumpy’ 😂

[@bunyipdan]

I really enjoy your channel ...... for future adventures with open fire zero cutlery you might want to consider a couple of bush craft levelling up options ..... surrounded by coconuts weave simple basket/wrap to cook fish/food in coals or ground oven style, you can make a pretty easy set of tongs from a split mid vein of palm frond or green branch ( just rough bind end, jam rock or stick to wedge open tongs and rough bind just in front of the wedge) this makes a springy pair of tongs that you can manipulate food, coals, rocks in a fire without getting burnt. You can also whittle some chop sticks which also make eating hot food a little easier.

Thank you for showing us your world, its so amazing to see the sealife in your neck of the woods, I grew up on the water in the Puget Sound area of Washington State just down from Seattle and loved it, but the water here is so dark blue and totally different than in the southern shores of the USA or the Pacific Islands. Love watching you two and keep making these great videos. Fran, you are simply adorable. Till next time guys, take care.
