 Hello. Right, I'm out in woods to cook up a bit of a pescatorial picnic. I've got a cod and lobster. I'm going to knock up a quick fire and we're just going to do a rudimentary, simple as you like, food on coals. That's it. I've got some seasoning. I don't have anything spectacular to do with it. I'm just doing it as simple as it comes. It's been a long time coming. I'm really excited to cook this fish. It's my first fish that I got after it's been a long time coming from when I first set off to do my free divers course. I'm going to go spearfishing and catch a fish, cook it and eat it. I'm hopefully going to do that in the north-east of England, which not a lot of people do. That's my goal to now. I've had some excuse, Barnett. Look at Barnett, mate. I look like an ex-footballer, don't I? Even more than Joey D. But it's either that or Barnett and I don't see Barnett because lugs look at lugs. That's some sort of rat features. Just going with long Barnett for now. Yeah, mate. So I've finally run the clips of me catching this cod. It was hard, fought. It was three days of climbing up and down this big cliff, getting all my gear in and out and spending over two hours each time. So it was over six hours of water time. I'm waiting for this moment for a while, mate. I've even come out many a time and then gone home because I've not had any visibility, but I can see I've got visibility. So I've got all my gear in my bag. I think I've got about eight kilograms just in weight because I don't plan on going deep because I'm on my own and it's just not advisable to go to push it when you're on your own. But no more than say five metres today. No real big hopes. I secretly do, mate. I secretly think I'm going to get at least a lobster. That's my secret dreams anyway. Halfway down to chew with all gear on, but I don't care. It's so good to be out, mate. It's so good to see that I can see in the sea if you see what I mean. Just using these old ropes that have been put here by, I don't know, fishermen or jet collectors or whatever, just use them to get up and down. It's a bit of a trek, like you see all the cliffs coming away over there. Let's get this bag off, mate, because it is heavy. I've got air-band on because the air is getting a bit unruly. Denim shorts. And my barefoot shoes. Like a right Joey exotic, don't I? But that's life. That's the life I've chosen. That's the path I've chosen. The tide's still going out. And then once you get some low tide, I'll have that bit of slack. I'll have some slack tide right now. Now that's what I'm looking to utilise. This is a tricky bit. Let me get in for a shot so you can see. Not for the claustrophobic or the wide of head. Hot to trot, got my float, got my diver below, flag, torch, my lobster hook on here, and my net for if I catch anything. And I'll attach my gun to that line there. That's it, really. I've got my line cutter in case I get caught up in any line or fishing line or rope or anything on there. That is it all the time. And I've got my knife on my ankle. A tool just in case I catch out really. I can't see anything mate. I mean it's nice. I've caught up in all sorts of kelp but the visibility is shit. Visibility is shit. I can't see the tip of my gun under water. I've been catfished. Gonna keep trying mate. Gonna keep on diving. I'll take you through one more with me and then I'm gonna put you on the float mate. You do me aiding. It's Ian's reel. It's Ian's reel. Not having it, not ready for it. Don't want it. I don't know where he's gonna pop up. Right, I've been out for a while and visibility is just not there. I've got to go right at bottom just to be able to see half a meter in front of me which is just not conducive for spearing. I sacked the spear off just thought I'd dive. If it gets lobster crabs still very difficult in these conditions. And then it'll never stop cacking me up mate. Very unnerving to see Ian be able to seal. I tried to film him but the visibility is too poor so I don't even get there. If it was lovely visor I wouldn't mind because I can see I've got eyes on him. And we could maybe have a little bit of a play about and what not. But when visibility is as cacky as it is going out of that kelp man it's just a vibe. So he's having to compete with Ian Biel as well. Having to compete with Ian Biel and I know he's not gonna get me or anything but it's just a bit unnerving to see him milling around me. Because I'm unnerved I'm not being at all my breath properly. Because it's like one little bit of he's been 100% zen and he's just making me not zen at all. He's in amongst all weeds still. He's still in there waiting for me. It's like Jaws. He's got my number aren't he? I'm brody or whatever he's called. He's got my number. I thought I'd be a hero and go back in again but no joy. I've got eyes on a lobster about this big. Definitely legal size. And I got under the rock that he was in and shot out the back of it in a way. Chasing but there's no chance mate. No chance. I'm disheartened mate. I'm disheartened if I'm honest. Nice to do a bit of free diving though. It's not some good wildlife. But in the end I was just getting frustrated because I was caught up in all Kelp. I lost my line cutter. Everything kept getting caught on Kelp because it was really thick and dense. I'm not going to film myself walking back up that cliff mate. It's disheartening. It's a hard graph. So I'm going to square away all my stuff and then I'm going to get off and we'll give it another go tomorrow. I'm back once again with the Renegade Master. Tell you what I'll be fitting no time fit as a fiddle. Back again. Right let's get suited up. Three hours mate I was in there. Best part of three hours. I didn't see any fish. I saw a dogfish and that was it as far as fish. I got one lobster that was of size but it was buried which means it's got eggs on it. I got this one. He's going to go back in drink though because I measured from the back of the eye to the end of the first line here. He's just slightly under and crab about two centimetres under legal limits. I'm going to go release these bad boys back into soup. In a survival situation that's fodder. That's getting eaten. But in a little mermaid type situation you can go back to the soup. Go on, eat it. Oh it's buzzing mate. Things always look bigger under water mate. Things always look bigger under water. So if you're going to do any DPs any knob picks are out lads. Just do them in C. Everything looks bigger in the C. Honestly when I was tussling with that it didn't look it now. But when I was tussling with that to get it out from under its rock it looked massive. I thought here we go. Big old edible brown crab and not about three centimetres out. So back. So long while lass. Good luck. I'll see you soon. Another fruitless day in the milky North Sea. Right let's get out the club. I'll tell you what I did get mate. It wasn't a completely wasted journey. In fact it wasn't wasted at all. I enjoyed myself. Love it. Love it in there. I got myself a nice sea urchin shell. I'll take that home as a consolation prize. I'll see you back down here tomorrow morning. I get suited and bootied again and see what I can bring. The problem of mavinies. Yeah mate come here. The problem of mavinies like the GoPro only lasts a certain amount of time and I'm in there for three hours and I forget about it and just leave it on and it runs out of battery in like half an hour. So if I get somewhere on the GoPro it'll be lucky. It will be lucky but I'm just enjoying it in sea mate. Absolutely loving it in there. But it would be nice to be able to cook some up. Just makes a nice thumbnail doesn't it? And then we can have a natto out fire and that otherwise. I don't have out. I don't have your content for you mate. Don't have the content. Just don't have it. Right let's saddle up. Saddle up and get into soup. I just want to be in there for as long as I can so I'm going to have the hour and a half before low tide and then the hour of slack water and then I'll get me selling so two and a half hours in the soup to pull out something legal. Some of legal size. So we can have some fodder. Fingers crossed mate I've worked for this one. I've worked for this one. Three days I've been grafting for this. Help me sell the feed. Two and a half hours in there. Can't believe, can't believe I've caught a con. He used me a dive knife. I'm going to gut him in the sea. It's late in the day. I'm tempted to just I'm tempted to head home and put these on ice or put them in the fridge and then we'll take them out and cook them outside later on or tomorrow. So I want to do them justice. Three days I'll bounce mate. The final time in a while let's take on this. Come on. And there you go. And that brings us here. So I'm going to knock up a quick fire and we're going to get this. We're going to get this catch on the cook. Get this catch on the coals. Yes. Right, come on. Seems to have lost a claw. I think it's good is it? It seems to have lost a claw. Oh man. I wonder if I've dropped it on way in here. Shall I run back and have a look? I will. Look at that mate. Just retraced my steps and found it on woodland floor. Luckily it was that way up so it wasn't as camouflage. But that is it. Oh destiny. Destiny. Look at that mate. Sorry about it. Sorry about it. I used to play for Bundesliga but fell on hard times. The booze got me. The booze got me, relegated to sleeping on streets and then relegated to sleeping on streets. Started on weeds. Took a hit of the weeds and now look at me. Stay out of it. Bundesliga head. Hey, my grill is a bit too small for the fish. Which is a good predicament to be in. So we'll let that die down to a decent coals and then we'll get it on. I didn't need a great deal of seasoning but I am going to just smash a bit of salt on her. A bit of salt on that side. As I say, it's the only seasoning I've got otherwise. Unless I smashed a little bit of smidge on it. I'll just fall off the bone. It should do. I'll probably be able to pull the back bone out. Smells lovely. Right, I'm always getting peppered back fire while I'm trying to eat so I'm going to deal with it now. And I'm always sticking around just to see to make sure anyway. That's good. Just want the meat. Bit of it out. And I'll leave that there. So it's not smoking in the grill while I'm trying to eat. Leave that there and I'll discard it after dinner. Bundesliga brain. Hey, mate, how are you? Should we get it more Bundesliga? Like that. I could have wrinked full Barnett look. Getting lugs out. Idiot. Right. I've harked this look, mate. I've harked that. I've harked that. I've harked my asylum. I'm as chuffed as a dog with two knobs. I really am. And I'm sorry for putting that image in your head. But look at that, mate. That's been a long time. Got it. It's just a little girl that I've done and have achieved on my own. And I appreciate that. Hard fort, like. Really hard fort. Let's get into it anyway. Dustin Tools. Dustin Bushcraft Tools gone. Cooking good in the woods. Well, sorry, Dustin. Focusing issues. Right. Let's get on it, mate. My word. Look at it getting here. Still nice and warm as well. Do you know what? I'm so glad that I didn't. I'm so glad I didn't chuck all the bells and whistles at it. Just let the ingredients speak for themselves. Do you know what? I reckon I'll be able to just pull this bone out of it. Yeah. Get my bonnet out the way. Bundesliga brain. That is delicious. Lovely and smoky as well. Shall I have a little... What are you doing all the way up there, mate? Come down here to me. There you are. Do you know what? I'm getting a bead on from eating. Lost a bit of weight though, lads and lasses. I've been looking after myself. I've been this Sunday. What day is it now? Thursday? Friday? Saturday? Sunday? In three days it will be a month sober. A month without any lotions and potions. Which might not seem like a big thing. It's the longest I've been since I was about 13, if I'm honest. Oh, come off it. Just pinging Shell into undergrowth for its starts and wambles to have. So yeah, mate, just clean and serene. I've got me selling a little bit of a pickle. So, just having a bit of time off it all. And this Sunday I look on a month's sober. It's amazing, really, what it'll do for you. And I've managed to shift me gut. I'm in such a good mental headspace at the moment. But you're sponsored by a brewery, I know. I know these things. And I'm not saying I'm quitting forever. I'm just saying that when times are difficult, when life's chucking you lemons all the time, which it has been of late, if I were just to hit the bottle and hit the other, or whatever, it's running from my problems. It's making stuff worse. A good chunk of sobriety, I think, for me, suits me down to the ground. Or it is suit me down to the ground. Really enjoying it. Are you having that or not? Look at that. Beautiful meat, that lobster tail. Thank you, thank you. Oh, my God. Sweet. That is so sweet. It's like... Mmm, it's like it's been candied. Look at all that. Akater. Akater. The sun's coming out for it. Hey, man. We've got some big projects on. I need to be physically and mentally in good shape. Shall we have a little look at these claws? I suspect I've done these for a little bit too long, but claw meat. Delicious. So different to the tail as well. Adds a like nutty, nutty vibe to it, I've always thought. I've got a few landscaping jobs coming through now though, so we're looking at, we're coming out the other side. And I would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this time. And I genuinely couldn't have done it without you. You put food on my table, kept a roof over my head, stopped me from going absolutely batshit. So, this is... I love you. I love you. You're lovely. You've really helped me. And, you know, times have been a bit hard financially, and I put my... I thought, right, what do... You know, let's prioritize. I thought I would sell my tent with the idea of buying it back when things were a little bit better. Get off. So, I thought I'd put it on Instagram to see if... See if one of my camping followers would like their first chance to buy it. And I put it on, and it just... It got out of hand. Get off. Someone set up a Just Giving page, and everyone just chipped in to buy my tent back for me, but it just went like... This is delicious. The outpouring of support. I mean, I'm not going to get emotional. I promise myself no more now. Be strong, because I'm just going to produce the best content I can for you from here on in. That's how I say thank you, not by sitting and bawling on camera. By just producing some quality content for you, and that's what I'm going to do. There we are, me eating with my hands in woods, that's part of it. Yeah, the support was just silly, mate. It was just absolutely silly, and... So, I didn't... I kept my tent... I kept my tent, and now that tent, for everyone who contributed, I just want to say thank you to you. I've not been able to get back to everyone. I put a blanket sort of thank you on Instagram, but thank you so much. I was blown away by the support. By the end of the day, mate, I was absolutely... I was exhausted with... with emotion. I was overwhelmed. Speaking of overwhelmed, look at that. That's overwhelming, isn't it, look? Yeah, I was blown away by the support. I can't thank you enough. I just needed to get through until I can get some more working, and you just came through, and looked after me. Thank you. Yeah, really appreciate it. And then, so my next vid, I think, I've got to take the Hillyburg out. It's coming out, I'm going to take it out, and we're going to... we're kind of camping it. Because to everyone who supported me, it's yours as well now. You have shares in it, mate. We can see it all turn at weekends. But yeah, thank you. And to everyone who bought a... Everyone who bought a Dunk the Junk patch and sticker, and everyone who signed up to Patreon, that makes an absolute world difference. And I'm going to be putting more content on Patreon only, as I venture into the world of podcasting. I'm going to upload it just to my Patreon page at first, because you guys deserve it. And I'm still ironing out the creatures. Sorry. So, yeah, what I would like, as a little bit of a thing, is our bollocks. Mate, I'm devouring this, look at this. Looks like one of them skeletons off cartoons, though. Get in. Get in, yeah. Can you put down below who you'd like to see who'd like me to have as a guest on my podcast? The Hayes Outdoors podcast is going to be coming soon. I've had Joey D on it already. I'm going to have Joey D back on. And I'm going to have Russ, my mate Russ, the owner of Northern Monk, said he'll come on the podcast. But if you can think of anyone else from the bush-crafting sort of outdoorsy sort of world that you'd like me to interview and have on the podcast, put down below, mate, because I'm getting some ideas together. Done it in. I'm full. Yeah, sensible ones, please. I know everyone's going to say Steven Seagal. But I've got some controversial news about Steven Seagal for you, mate, if you want to hear it. Not everyone knows this. Is that I actually prefer Jean-Claude Van Damme. There you go. And that's the truth. Because when you think about it, with Jean-Claude Van Damme versus Steven Seagal, there's no competition, mate. Blood sport, kickboxer, cyborg. What was that cop one? Time cop? How was that still known? Don't know. That one where he's twins with himself. Anyway, Van Damme is the new Seagal. Always has been. Always will be. That one looked nice. That was one of the best yet. Look at Barnetto. Just one Barnetto. Right, I'm out of here. Thanks to everyone who did their own version of Shows Your Stake lockdown challenge and spoke a little bit about how it's made them feel and what they've taken from it. I understand that lockdown has eased a lot now and people are getting back to normal life, but it doesn't mean that people are still affected by it. I, for one, am going to take a lot from this lockdown, mate. It's been a roller coaster. No one I tagged did it. It didn't have the... It didn't fly my beauties like the first one, but that doesn't matter because it was about me talking to you, really, and just getting a bit of a dialogue going. So thanks to anyone who did it and who tagged me. Because I'm aware that we're still all... I feel a little bit shell-shocked. It's all sort of going back to normal, but I was shadowing away at the call. Total lockdown for a long time, mate. Went through Ringer. So it's going to do something to you, isn't it? You can't just be like, oh, well, stiff up a lip, doesn't matter. Get on with it. We have to acknowledge it. We have to take stuff from it and grow from it. I reckon anyway. So big up everyone who did that anyway. Right, let's just... Let's saddle up What a journey, mate. This video has been... It's taken me about a week to do it. It's taken me a long time up and down that cliff in that water. It's not as easy as just going and camping on top of a mountain or whatever. It's this old catch-and-cook lark. But I thoroughly enjoyed it, and that was just heavenly. Tasted so good and worth the wait. Right, much love to everyone. Thank you again for all the support. I'm just going to... I'm going to hit ground running now. I'm going to... The only way that I can thank you really is just by putting all I can into creating content for you just to, I don't know, just entertain you and that maybe teach you a little something or other if I can along the way. But yeah, chuck down who you want to see in my podcast. Be reasonable. Jean-Claude Van Dammeen is going to come on it or out. He might. You never know. Double-handed salute to Namaste. I just made that up and it worked. Namaste safe, love you, bye. Let's just get it over and done with. Love you, bye.
