- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ม.ค. 2023
- With Bare Hands and Barefoot, we catch and cook massive Giant Crabs, and then taste delicious Curry Crab with spices and coconut milk. We had to wade through the Gwa Tass Swamp in Cabrits National Park outside Portsmouth.
Special thanks to Sledge Hammer and Slim, the rest of the Dominican crew who helped us on this amazing adventure.

He said it was his first time catching crab, and they were doing it like pros!! I swear Caribbean men are different!! ❤🔥
To see how the people welcomed you, warms my heart. It looks like you are officially 🇩🇲 now David.
Thank you so much Deborah!!
That how the people in the Caribbean are wonderful and kind people, you should try all those other Islands.
What an adventure! David you are so brave, but luckily Dominica has no poisonous snakes nor crocs or gators. Your feet must have been sore for days, and I'm sure that it was all worth it. Thanks for another great episode. And yes, this was definitely a Fearless and Far episode. 😆
KAREN! So great to see you and yes it was definitely an adventure but our guide kept us safe for sure. We definitely were glad there were not gators!!! Definitely our feet weren't too happy though afterwards though lol. It was truly a pleasure to share this with you and definitely glad you enjoyed the adventure with us! THANK YOU KAREN!
Good prag guys

You're definitely brave to venture into the water barefoot! Well I love crabbacks but crab 🦀 Palau is so delicious! Thanks for sharing your amazing experience!
Thank you so much for the support Vicky! I really appreciate it!
Great job David,thanks for showing the world how natural and beautiful the island of Dominica truly is👍
Live a little
David you out did it with this one. I wasn't expecting this video. Blew me away. I love, love, love it. Survivor, Amazing Race and Lost came to mind. Omg, what an experience - excitement, suspense, comradery. This Dominican here would have taken off shoes before the guides could say it and I would be in the water, maybe even making a splash. Dominica is for the adventurous too. Dominica is so raw, truly "nature isle" and you captured the heart of it. This is one of my top favorite videos in this series. Nate is super cool and seems to enjoy it all. The crab curry look good and she had you cooking too, lol. Dominica loves you. We'll be waiting patiently for you guys return. God bless you, Nate and your families. Thanks again for what you doing for us. We appreciate your labor of love. You are sacrificing time away from your families and we are aware of this and are grateful. Stay safe and God bless. Keep them coming, "it's a vibe!"
JHANNEE!! Thank you so much my friend. I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! It was truly an adventure and I'm so lucky to have you all join me along for the ride. I only wish my new Dominica friends could have joined me for such an awesome adventure. Its truly a beautiful nature island and a Caribbean paradise. The crab curry was absolutely amazing too! Wishing you peace and blessings too Jhannee and once again its truly an honor to read your amazing comments. This was so thoughtful and I am wishing you a great week too! THANK YOU!
I'm enjoying these Dominica 🇩🇲 videos
Do come again!
Thank you so much Nella I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Huge respect for you David, from this Trinidadian Chinese. I would’ve been out of there as soon as they tell me to take off my shoes.
But I’m sure that curry crab was worth it. Respect, man. 🇹🇹🇨🇦
Thank you so so much Victor! I truly appreciate it. We had such an amazing guide so it definitely helped!
I can't believe you did this! I'm from Dominica and I've only ever been on the boat on this river. You guys are brave.
Brave or possibly stupid? Hahah its one or the other. On a serious note, we had an incredibly knowledgeable Guide who took us through the swamp and kept us safe as well. We got lucky to find such a good one. Thank you truly for your support and kind comments as well. Hope you have a beautiful evening I Stephenson!
@@Davidsbeenhere I'll stick with brave because you made it out safely. Lol. Yes. You got got a great guide.
Amazing episode! I have to visit Dominica. Reminds me of back home in Guyana
Guyana and dominica and Jamaica and and st Lucia is the most beautiful in nature
You would LOVE IT!! Such an incredible island!
dbzkhlid01don t wait too long or else there will be no more crabs left
There is no way on the earth I would have stuck in that mess like you did!! Kudos! But that curry looked amazing 🤩. Keep the fun coming!!
The curry made the struggle truly worth it LOL. Definitely was an experience and probably I'm cool off going barefoot swamp crab hunting in the future LOL
Your visit definitely doesn't look like one planned by Discover Dominica. It's different from what we typically see from vloggers who come here. I hope you had a good time.
Hahah yeah it was planned by my Guide Bongo and a bit of input on our end of things too. I had an incredible time and it was truly a magical experience. I can't wait to visit again. I truly appreciate your comment and support I Stephenson!
Is it me, or did he reply to your comment then deleted it. I have been asking myself this very same question. I still love the videos.
@@kerrygrante his comment is there.
@@Davidsbeenhere great. We would be happy to have you back. I've watched your other videos and I definitely want Dominica to stand out in your memory ( as one of the best 😁) from the countries you visit.
@@nezey24 I don't know if the internet had a hiccup but it was gone when I came back to show someone his response.
Hi David. What an adventure seeing you and Nathan doing something way out of what we expected you both to do. I was scared as hell for you going through that swamp without wading boots and a hat. Was so glad when you all got out of there. What happened to your shoes and socks? That curried crab was worth it because it looked so delicious. In my day, we only ate crab in callalloo. Very sweet meat. So it was nice to see that you have finally taken that swim in the sea. 🏊 This was exciting, adventurous and scary all at the same time, but you and Nathan muddled through. Well done. I wonder what could be more exciting than that 🤔. Well, let's wait and see. 💕🇹🇹🇨🇦
HAHAH thank you so much Judy! I truly appreciate your support and as always we had a true adventure. Our guide was amazing and he guided us safely through the experience. We had shoes and socks but they would have been absolutely demolished if we had gone in the swamp with shoes on lol. But yeah it was definitely worth it, the crab was amazing and we loved it. And its funny when I jumped into the ocean and was editing this I thought of your earlier comment about not taking a moment to jump into the ocean. It was truly magical. And stay tuned because there is more adventure to come!!! Thank you truly Judy.
@@Davidsbeenhere hah David. "I'm so excited, and I think I like it, i'mma gonna lose control, but I think I like it" the Pointers Sisters. You finally took that swim. You are quite welcome and I am happy to support you and the team always. Hope you are having a great vacation which should be ending soon and watching those 'shorts' that you have been posting is proof that you really needed that break. So, looking forward to the rest of this series and future ones. BTW, I am happy to see that you have chosen Belize to be your next destination. I had done a little research and it would be a very interesting country with a lot of intricate history and culture. A lot to explore there. So New Year, new beginnings and a fresh new start for this year. Stay well, stay safe and may God continue to bless you and your family and watch over you all.🙏✝️💟🕊️🇹🇹🇨🇦
David will you in Dominica did you experience the crab cállaloo they make in the north
Yes Ian!! SOOO GOOD!!!
Thank you for showcasing my beautiful home. You are a beautiful soul the way you just blend in well with the locals. good work !
Thank you so much Raising Happy Children. Peace and Blessings to you too!!!
David you are an amazing human being and you're supposed to be doing what u r doing. U r a natural You adapt so beautifully which tells me that you u r open to learning and experience other people's culture. Love the video. U r a tough dude. Continue to live life to the fullest.
DOMINEEEEEEECA!!!!!!!!
You'd think he'd know how to pronounce it by now. Kind of makes me a bit mad that he doesn't take the time to use the proper pronunciation!
@@lauralarsen181 English is not David's first language so don't be mad if he doesn't always pronounce it the right way. Sometimes he gets it right and sometimes he doesn't. I have heard some of the people there pronounce it differently too. We, in the Caribbean/West Indies grew up pronouncing it the right way so give him a break. He visited the island to see what it had to offer and so far, he is doing a great job.🇹🇹🇨🇦
@@JudyT868 thank you! I’m Dominican and it doesn’t bother me that he can’t pronounce it properly because he’s taking the time to showcase our island and that’s what matters . People love focusing on the petty things smh
@@Sassy_Muffin136 you are so right. I didn't hear anybody in Dominica correcting his pronunciation. As a matter of fact, he was the one trying to get it right. So the people who are taking offense to the way he says it, should really consider the fact that David takes a lot into consideration and that there is a lot of extensive planning and preparation for these trips; that he doesn't just jump on a plane and travel to a country or island. He even makes the distinction between Dominica and the Dominican Republic. Spanish is David's first language so his way of pronouncing words will be different to an English-speaking person. I shake my head too at this criticism. We are all getting to see what Dominica has to offer and so far, I love it and I am enjoying what he did there. So people should lighten up a bit. Sassy Muffin, I hope you are enjoying the series too. BTW, thank you for being so open- minded and responding to my comment.❤️🤗🇹🇹🇨🇦
David this was such fun to watch...I felt sorry fior your feet..I know you not used to this...but seeing you and Nate with the guys...what an adventure!!!...And that curry crab looked really delicious ...cooked on wood fire..can tell by the way you enjoyed eating ...Again I enjoyed watchng ..Thanks to you and Nate and stay safe on all your travels. Peace.
Thank you so much Shabana and Hailey!! haha yeah we felt bad for our feet too. To be honest our guide was incredible and he guided us safely through all of it. We put our trust in him and he was so great and we got through safely with no problems. The crab was also delicious so it was totally worth it. Thank you for joining the adventure and as always for your incredible support! Have a great day Shabana.
@@Davidsbeenhere Thankyou too and yes .....your guide was very helpful and nice.
What an exciting yet terrifying experience crab hunting. I love the ending: EATING CRABS LOL
I mean after all that hard work we needed something to make us forget about our poor feet LOL. That said, the crab was amazing!!! Hope you have an amazing evening Roxann!
David this is next level episode 😍😍😍
Thank you so much Serious Sam! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It was truly a wild experience and honestly that curry was SOOO GOOD!
Gr8 job guys ! Really impressed that u ventured into the swamp but it was well worth the curried crab at the end 💯🇩🇲
Soooo true. The crab curry was incredible and it was truly an adventure!! Thank you Mark.
I'm watching this and wincing with you in the water. I'm from Dominica, and I'd be wearing water shoes. I applaud you for joining them though. You're brave!!
I can see David enjoying that crab boy because all fingers are in use. Love it!!
Thank you so much Marvellous M! Yeah this was truly wild and sadly we didn't have water shoes but our guide told us its safe to go barefoot although definitely not comfortable lol.
OMG! CRABS! YOU SHOULD VISIT SRI LANKA!
As a Dominican I would neverrrrrrrrrr! Big up yourself David! Do come again muy pronto!
Edit: omg he actually took a dip in the sea. Yayyyy 😆🤣
🙏🏻🇩🇲❤️ Thank you so much Sassy Muffin! I hope to visit again soon and yessss! I finally took a relaxing dip in the sea...it was amazing!!
I had to watch this one again and for the second time I truly enjoyed it. Watching you eat the curried crab made my mouth water. Too bad that after all that hard work catching the crabs that the other guy couldn't eat it because of his allergic reaction. It was like watching kids eating and enjoying their food. 😋. That drink at the end was the perfect wash down for the curry. It was funny, it was scary because you weren't wearing waders and a hat or wrap to protect your head, and exciting as well. Nathan was a good sport and he looked like he enjoyed it too. You finally took that swim that I kept telling you to do. That was nice. What a relief!!! Thank you for that. Made my day. Looking forward to the next one.🙏🕊️🏊💕🇹🇹🇨🇦
Absolutely I'm starting to stop to smell the roses a bit more these day Judy! The crab was absolutely worth it thats for sure. Have a beautiful evening too!!
@@Davidsbeenhere remember I used to tell you that and to pace yourself. I am glad you are finally doing it. Stop and smell the roses, taste the coffee and take time to digest everything around you. I will never give you bad advice. Haha. You are becoming a new and improved man. New year, new you. LoL. Take care and have a super good night.❤️🙏✝️🕊️🇹🇹🇨🇦
Dominica!! Yes, I love it! Ya'll are hilarious. Love the videos. Keep it coming!
Big respect to you David for walking through that swamp barefoot. I'm Dominican but I can't say I'd have the guts to do it lol lol
Agreed. Though as a Dominican myself, I don't walk barefoot outside at all because centipedes creep me out, and DA has a lot!
Really cool adventure man... Reminds my childhood life in the summer holidays. love from India..
Thank you so much radhey!
David you are a brave man. 👏
Very adventurous indeed.
You’re getting the real deal

Yes! We wanted to go at night but then we couldn't have filmed. I can only imagine how it must be out there during the evening though. Thats so funny your uncle's name was also Sledge Hammer. And lets be honest there is nothing better than a barrel of delicious crab! Thank you so much and I'm so glad you enjoyed it Ingrid!!!

Hi NAjib! thank you so much! It was so cool! Hope you are doing great and really wonderful to see your comment!
Don't know how you did it, David! Your feet must have been wet, muddy and sore! Another Great Adventure for you!🦀🦀🦀🍹🍜🍌
Lol I still wonder how we did it even today LOL. But for reals our guide was amazing and taught us the ways! We were definitely muddy and wet by the end of it all though. Thank you lanceamillion!!!
Been there, done that back home in Tobago but in the night. :) Very exciting catching crabs.
It was awesome but definitely wish I had some water shoes. Maybe I'll try it again in another country like TandT or Jamaica!
@@Davidsbeenhere Hahahahaha. You took one for the team and you deserve both a gold star and medel for showcasing some of the things that typify Caribbean living. This was part of growing up and making the best of accessable food resources.
David you are very brave!!
Big up to u slim...this place looks better on camera...it reminds me of naked and afraid
You had good fun hunting those crab and enjoy it too

I would have done it over and over again. I used to catch them in the woods with a cutlass, running behind them before they get back in their holes.
They were orange in colour, I want to go after those. Slim and Hammer, I am coming, but won t be walking behind your back
You are very brave David. My! oh My! You had me feeling sorry for you without any shoes on!
Que rico
Brave heart 🤎
❤️
🦀👍
😂🙏🏻🇩🇲❤️
I am from Dominica, where people have tough soles on their feet, allowing them to walk barefoot comfortably. In contrast, the majority of Americans have soft soles due to wearing shoes almost all the time-about 99.99% of the time, to be precise. Wearing shoes regularly softens the soles. My own soles used to be tough, but since moving to the United States, I also wear shoes about 99.99% of the time.
David should have worn shoes.
truer words have never been spoken. lol. really appreciate the comment jcsammy, and wishing you a blessed one!!
Loved the India🇮🇳 Jersey. 🙂
😂 damn bro , no shoes!!!! Well it seemed like it was worth it!!! The food looks so delicious
LOL It was definitely worth it though not sure I would go back out there without shoes again LOLOL.
hey where is the dumplings man? curry crab and no dumplings? Hahahahaha. Enjoy.
😲 you are a Brave ❤ . You in the Swamp . They have mosquitoes repellant . I hope someone would invent 🐍 repellant. I guess they hid . I love me some 🦀 🦀 but its a bit scary to catch them . Those 🦀🦀🦀 are humongous. I enjoyed the vlog.
I'm from Dominica Live in Maryland US. Yes it's not easy I would not do it walking that swamp without shoes
I love crabs, and yes I would do that with no shoes.
oh absolutely worth it! A bit muddy but overall it was an amazing time!
CRAZY EXPERIENCE WITHOUT BOOTS DAVID CRABS HUNTING 🤣 MANGROVE AND YOUR FEET IT HURTS
I never knew there were such big crabs in the place. Most of the time, we cooked them in calaloo. The reason, I am strong
Love your videos bud and proud you're pushing through, but you are definitely a city boy 😆!!
🤣 Thank you Nate and definitely true LOL.
❤❤❤🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲❤️❤️❤️
I want you to range the countries. Fro. 1 to 5. Best food. Please do that. And i think iran will winn. Many people day they have the best food. I hope to go there one day. They also look clean and profetionell in what they do.
HELLOOOOOO family.
HELLLLLOOO DEAR Monique Flournoy!
@@Davidsbeenhere . 🥰🤟🥰🤟
Bear Grylls says dude my legs help me

Why didn't you guys wear water shoes ? 😂 🦀
David where was the hot sauce to put on the crab? You do love a hot sauce.😀
hahah wow. I totally forgot about the hot sauce. Arghhhh. Next time!!! The hot sauce does make an appearance in future videos though lol.
Oh yes crabs 🦀 crabs hmhmhm
YESSS!! Simply the best!
