- Following many requests from viewers, I made a video of some of the many and varied edible plants found in the sand dunes and estuary of my home county of Carmarthenshire ,West Wales, UK,this is not the whole list of edible plants we have ,but just a snapshot of what I found while taking my son Dafydds' Golden Retriever "Llew" for an hours walk (and swim ) ! We are really fortunate to have such a diverse range of plants and wildlife here in Wales. I hope you like it . A special thank you to my other son Anthony for editing the video.
You Sir, are honored with a gentle dog like that. I do not even take your knowledge of your environment into account. You Sir, own one of the best channels I know about. Thank you for sharing and please continue what you are doing.
Grand job Craig, This is the best UK sea foraging Channel, keep up the brilliant work.

Ceri Evans he's a legend

Thank you Craig, diolch
I've learned a lot from your videos, I'll go foraging the scarlet area soon
Another brilliant video! Really enjoyed this one, ta very much Mr. Evans.
Your knowledge is lovely to listen to and learn from, Mr Evans! :) 3:01 "chopped up and mixed in with mashed potatoes" >>> this made me suddenly hungry for mashed potatoes! :)
I know that you posted this a while ago, but my daughter and i recently discovered your channel. She is 7 and watches you every night before bed lately. She has always wanted to be a chef and loves learning about nature. She quite adores your channel and your pup. Thanks for making such great videos! We look forward to many more!

Hi..Craig... Very Nice Video
Stunning View😘
Always enjoy your videos Craig, keep them coming.
I enjoyed the tour of the shoreline with you pointing out edible plants. Great video.
One of the best TH-camrs in my opinion , keep up the good work Mr . Evans and hopefully next year I might be able to book onto your course for a few days of ancient knowledged transferrance 👍
Talking of nursery for fish, I remember when I was a teenager back in the 80s during the summer we used to swim in the Tawe river up between Alltwen and Godregraig and in the very shallow, wide slow moving part of the river where the river temperature was higher near a "swimming hole" known locally as the cinders by the old rec there would be what must have been hundreds of thousands of eels but there are none there now, apparently it is because of the barrier that has been put across the river down at the Swansea marina, my first taste of eel was caught and cooked on the river bank surrounded by the smell of wild garlic one day while my friends and I were mitching off school and I must admit I enjoyed it, and the eel lol
Great story Jas, I used to "mitch " from school in Pontardawe too! sometimes education is acquired by means other than school !
In spring and early summer we could see young eels "climbing" through the wet moss at Pwll Y Wrach falls in Gwaun Cae Gurwen. They are not as common now, I believe the issue is not due to tidal barriers etc as the design of these would have been taken into account to mitigate the adverse effect on migratory fish e.g. Salmon,sea trout, eels, lampreys etc. It appears the issue of the reduced number of eels is more to do with changes at sea which could be the current from the Sargasso sea where they spawn, this is subject to much research and the answer has not yet been discovered.Eel numbers are vastly reduced in all rivers that flow into the North East Atlantic. Kind regards Craig
@@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447 thanks Craig, yes i definitely learned a few things on the Mitch lol, when I was told that the barrier was stopping the eels migrating up the river I thought surely they would have thought about that first but I had nothing else to reference to.
Nice job Craig! This was still a great and informative video even without cockles. Hahaha!
Fascinating, thank you Craig!
I absolutely love your educational videos! I love knowledge and information....
When I go to my beaches down here in the States in Florida, I can identify and catch so many things.
Thank you so much for that, Mr. Craig!!!!!!
But, I must ask, when will we get another catch and cook video!?!???
I love your foraging and cooking videos so dang much!!!
Thank you for these videos
I wish I could go foraging with you lol. Looks fun
It's great fun yung,regards Craig
My word you are a wonderful teacher. I feel like Llew - interested in everything but would step on things and get my nose bitten or eat something I shouldn't. That's probably unfair to Llew. Dave.
The outdoors is your marks and Spencer's craig ha
And Tesco's, Morrisons, Waitrose etc etc, regards Craig
Diolch yn fawr iawn Craig! Bydda i'n trio gneud cwrs gyda chi yn fuan!
Bydd croeso cynnes i ti , hwyl Craig
Another great video. Now its autumn can you do one on making your rose hip syrup?
Hi Craig, just stumbled upon your channel and its amazing! Have you written a book, if not you need to?
Craig, can you eat the snails that are on the sea radish?
Kristyanna Virgona I would imagine you could being a wild environment without pesticides, seeing as he is able to eat the plants, would love to see him eat some.
Great stuff!
How come I did not see any Sea Wormwood around? That coastal area would be perfect for it. It makes a great schnapps!
Man, you deserve more production value, I hope you'll get the chance to develop your equipment and techniques. The content is all there, keep it coming.
How long do you think you could survive in the remote area of west wales (near a fresh water source) without any modern day equipment? (No phone, tent, cooking utensils etc).
yes
very productive area i was fishing there yesterday i was teaching my daughter some of the wild plants there last week she was not impressed she spat most of them out haha do you have any tips on where i can collect some razorfish ?
Just found out, from watching Craig Ferguson the episodes with Tony Hopkins, that he's from Wales and a place called Cardith I believe. So I'm not such a bad guess
This was extremely interesting. Your passion and knowledge is impressive. I know of the Tenby sea buckthorn location but I'm in the Gwaun and disabled. Does anyone know any locations in north Pembs, preferably close?
Hi Sean, there are razors etc in Goodwick, Newport beach/estuary has most of the sea vegetables etc ,regards Craig
Hi Craig
Hi Leo,thanks for watching,regards Craig
Tony's from Port Orbith near Cardith in South Wales just saying
Hello Craig, thank you very much for a very informative vid, I was wondering what was the name of that succulent again? I want to read more about it. How do you spell it? Thanks
Which one do you mean Jackie ?
at 2:43. was it a sea porcelain? you mentioned that it has a salty properties which is best to mix with mash potatoes. apologies if I heard it wrongly he he
It is sea purslane Jackie,it is very common in salt marshes in Wales and other parts of the UK,regards Craig
Well done
Oi.👏👏👏
are there ticks out there?
I think it'd be too cold most of the year for ticks to be there.
Only on a Thursday, between 10.30 to 10.35
The background noise is much less in this video, thus it’s easier to hear your speaking.
видео мне прикольные
на каком я зыке от разговаривает ?
Eat the snails. Do a eating invasive species vids. Lol that would kill in views. The title alone does
Lots of pixelization in the opening segment
Hopefully it will settle down soon Dave- A TH-cam issue I think !
I am so jealous of your life and knowledge sir. But please don't pander to vegan propaganda from the media that everyone is yearning to eat carrots kelp and wild plants. You jumping into a rock pool naked with a knife in your teeth and emerging with a big fat lobster and 2 dozen giant oysters is what we want. : )
3 ads in one video... come on now Craig...
Thank you for your comment Callum, ads on this video do not even offset a small part of the costs expended in travel,time,equipment,editing etc etc-this video has made $11. Your choice is to continue watching for free or subscribe to a non ad channel at a cost to yourself, I hope this explains the reality,regards Craig
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans I did watch all three because I appreciate what you do. I just felt like 30% of what I watched were ads
I didn't realise they were that long Callum,regards Craig
