Unlike Naked and Afraid, ALONE, or Survivorman, there is no limit to the tools we are allowed to use. Living off just WILD foods is harder than you think!
In this episode we set funnel and pyramid traps for crawfish, crawdad, yabbies, prawns or crayfish, whatever you prefer. We use dog food and let them sit for a couple hours before checking. The crawfish are stored in a special trap with no exits. Then we rinse the crawfish with fresh water in a small kid pool to help wash them. After that we dump them into a turkey boiler on high heat, add spices, corn, potatoes and sausage. We then show you how to remove the digestive system for eating!
We hunt FERAL hog too!
We fish for catfish, alligator gar, long nose gar and drum, crawfish, crawdads, or yabbies, ghost shrimp, bluegill, rio grande perch, armored catfish, flathead catfish, blue catfish, alligator, freshwater clams, leopard Frog.
All wild foods are on the menu!
We seek out wild edibles including prickly pear cactus pads or nopal, cactus fruit or tuna, wild onions, mulberries, wild grape, Texas persimmons, pecan and anacua, mulberry, tasajillo, turks cap, yucca pods, cats briar, oion, chili pequin, duck weed, ground cherries, desert hackberry.

the wooded Beardsman. i grew up in the ozarks. and in bull shoals lake i caught crawdads the size of lobsters. no joke
Why do u kill animals you have a lot of food
Hey WB how often do you plan on doing Wilderness Living Challenges. My nephew and I love watching them. I was just wondering because it looks like it takes ALOT out of you.
Great video as usual! My son and I enjoy your videos very much.. keep them coming
Our Favourite video was Puddle Lake.. would love to go there..
“It’s bitter... but edible!”
“Don’t eat that..”
taheelur1 that got me too lol
taheelur1 lol
😂
why
lol
I really appreciate you taking the time in this video to thank Bob and his wife for the hospitality and the like. It shows a lot about your character. You folks seem like the kind of people I would want to have around me when the chips are down also.
The least I could do.
All my money as a kid came from those minnow traps. I grew up near a large lake in a river town so bait was big business. Between chub minnows and nightcrawler hunting my childhood friend and I always had candy money and more. LOL I miss those days.
I sold dew worms as a kid. We had plenty of $2 bills!!!
@@TheWoodedBeardsman Very cool!
Hunting my childhood friend lol XD
@@leizhang4498 LOL. I guess a comma would have been necessary. Glad you got a laugh. 😁
Wats up, cheezy. Cool to see you here.
-badman
This may be my favorite video in the series! It's very full of good info to catch crawfish, and of course how to cook 'em up!! I hope you enjoyed it as much as us southerners do! I loved that you and Bob did this together, absolutely epic! Thank you for sharing this
Thanks Christina!
By this time I was so hungry. I just wanted to eat. I went down to help and tried to pretend I had, "bugged out" to the hills. This was a fun, educational and Hard adventure. Thank you all for inviting me. And really brother, don't eat that! lol to late
You rock Wes. Wish the challenge had included you in it.
Wes S more of this wes. Your story about the corn bread was gold.
Wes do your own style survival BUG-OUT challenge,,be good
"This is how you trap em in the desert" lmao
This has quickly become one of my favorite channels. So fascinating and knowledgeable on your adventures. Good stuff!
I want to thank you for posting these video's along with Bob,I have spent hours enjoying your videos here in the UK. And have learnt a great deal.cheers to you both! !!!
Love the change of scenery! Awesome to see you switching up locations every once and a while. You run your channel so professionally and teach so many great skills. You inspire people to get outside more and that’s a scarce thing nowadays! Cheers.
I live in Canada 🇨🇦 I love your videos I’m only 11 years old. I’m doing scouts this year and I think your a great influence lots of love ❤️
Man I really enjoyed this series. As a Texan, it's awesome to see others enjoy our way of life and appreciate it as much as you have. I admire you immensely sir. You are always welcome in the Lone Star State.
Thanks for having me, I had a blast!
Dude, Bob and his wife are great! I love them, and wish them the best!
Appreciated.
as a guy who lives in inner city dallas these videos have really made me crave a different way of life, great video as always bud
hope Bob is feeling better, nice guy and cool old cowboy 😎
Bob posted on his Patreon page a few days ago post-surgery and seemed in high spirits. Head there and give the full message a read, I'm hoping he gets well soon too.
@@johnbirkholz994 hey John, thanks for your comment! I wouldn't of known otherwise. Good man!
No problem! I'll do you one more and tell you Bob released a post-op video today on his channel but you probably already saw that. I've never felt more invested in the well being of a complete stranger, and I only found Bobs channel a few weeks ago. I think that speaks to his demeanor and character.
@@johnbirkholz994 absolute legend
How could you not watch the whole video???? 1 of the best channels on youtube.
XD it edible “don’t eat that”
Edible*
its speelled edibal
IKnowI well you know what I mean
I still wonder why not.
@@MachinaOpus 🤔
Being from Corpus Christi (a city along the coast of south Texas) this video made me so hungry and made me happy seeing my two favorite youtubers doing something I’ve always wanted to do and love about Texas. Awesome video!!
Glad to see you youtubers do great videos together
Love your videos!! So nice to see people eat wild game and respect the land. Thank you my favorite Taystee Canadian, eh!!
Love the videos... Subbed
I actually always watch your videos from beginning to end, it is calming and great background noise while I read (or try to) or do some crafts.
Thanks!
Hey, what about an underwater camera? Would be interesting to see how they make their way into the trap. If the water isn't too muddy, of course.
Cool idea!
Arthur water is muddy! I'll tell yah that much
You've already got a GoPro right? The cases for underwater are pretty cheap - or there's the camera I got on amazon Git2 Pro does 2k at 23fps or 1080p at 60fps and comes with loads of mounts that work with GoPro as well. Was $145 I think - can upload some underwater footage if you're interested.
They went into the trap the exact way you think they did.
They walk forward into the trap😬... when they’re frightened they go backwards really fast. That’s where the term “crawfishing” on a deal comes from, when someone backs out on a deal they’ve made.
I love checking out this channel, I got involved in out door survival as a teen and loved it and have continued to develop different skills. This channel continues to help me come up with different things I want to try myself.
Nice vid... here in the UK we have our own Crayfish that are being wiped out by the introduction of an invasive American / Red Signal Crayfish which is bigger than our native species... if we catch the Red Signal Crayfish, no matter the size, its illegal to put them back in our waterways... some restaurants serve Crayfish and it is delicious, been thinking of getting some traps and fishing for some myself.
Worth the effort!
Its fun to do if you have free time
Here In Texas is the same with Tilapia carp. It is illegal to put them back in the water,no matter the size.
Free time? Set a trap before work and pick it up after work
Scott Rea Project channel is always catching / cooking them......
That awasome Vidio, teaching set the trap, and cooking material, and party crayfish all ready...🕵️👌👌👍nice Cris and Bob,
When he droped all of the craw fish a laughed so hard
Family friendly content right here! Thanks for making good videos! You explain everything and show how anyone can do this entirely by themselves!
I enjoyed the video...and yes I am from Michigan and our species of Crayfish as we call them are different than the ones that you would find in Louisiana or in Texas which are Red...and there species are the ones that are used in the boils and what not...some Red Ones Migrated here in Michigan some how and D.N.R. spent all day fishing them out of a creek, and they are very aggressive little critters, anyways found the video to be very entertaining and informative, and watched from beginning to end, wish you and your family nothing but the best.
I'm in Michigan too. West Michigan and have a cabin outside of Baldwin and one outside of Marquette in the yoop where I'm from. You?
I’m from Boston and when I’m in Maine the crawdads are really different
I have enjoyed the outdoors all my life and watching your video's help me enjoy the outdoors even more. Keep up the great video's!
"The Beard Strikes again! Bob needs a Canada lesson how to properly eat Woodchuck!" 👍
How to eat polar bear!
I confess ignorance.
I disagree Bob...In the School of the woods there is No Graduation Day!
Brad Yelich actually, beaver is a delicacy here in the states. You just don’t realize it because we eat them behind closed doors ;)
Pill the tail...Pinch the head and sux the guts and brain out...If seasoned right its not bitter...Grandma would make crawfish head pie...its like a pot pie but guts brain and tail meat...
Love your videos and Bob Hansler's videos, so great to see yall doing a collaboration.
Poor man’s lobster!!! Good eatin’
Yay tuesday whoch means new wooded beardsman haha i love the videos man ive been watching them everyday now i especially love this texas series because i live on texas
Hey Wooded Beardsman. I love your episodes I watch them while working on my assignments. Each episode gets better and better looking forward to the next one! If you ever come to Cape Town South Africa let me know!
That would be cool!
I love this channel! So informative and you seem very nice. Just a wholesome channel all around.
Thanks Dawna!
The only comment you did not put a marker on is you own, besides the ones you didnt read. Impressive interaction with viewers. You seem to do everything right with your channel.
I used to read them all, but since leaving town, I lost my grip, so now I'm going to try to read the first day's worth of a new video coming out!
Definitely trying to do my part. I let the ads run and leave multiple comments for you.Thank you so much for the content you put out! Keep it coming!
I love the primitive stuff, but this was really fun too. Funny to see Texas through Canadian eyes.
I always read it " The Bearded Woodsman"
:)
you’re wrong
Me too lol
You and Bob are always fun to watch. Surprised Wes was so cool as well.
Love crayfish, they are delicious.
Crawdad
@@spencerhagen7798 Wikipedia says "Crayfish, also known as crawfish, crawdads, crawldads, freshwater lobsters, mountain lobsters, mudbugs or yabbies,..."
Yabbies 😂
I’m really enjoying this series, I’ve seen a few episodes but I plan to watch them all! I’ve lived in Texas all my life but just moved to North Carolina for a new opportunity. Y’all keep making me hungry! And I sure miss home, thank you Chris for making these and thank you Bob for providing the land and thank you Wes for the laughs. I wish I still had land that I could bring you to! Maybe someday soon I’ll find something good up here.
Personally i think they're pretty good if you cook em right
*there*
Wow.
they're? Lol
@@defense200x their
Bug,What's wrong with the word, they're? It's a perfectly acceptable contraction of the words, they and are =they're=they are. It has nothing to do with the words, there, or their. Their is possessive and there can indicate direction and "There are several kinds of crawfish." Quick was saying of the crawfish, "I think they are pretty good if you cook them right." They're pretty good.I live in Louisiana and I think they're delicious when cooked correctly. YUM!
Your videos never cease to amaze me. They’re just so real, it’s great
watching from India. Love all your videos, still waiting for the HOG.
Really hope they get one! If he could have got that on the challenge it would have been game over!
Great catch. Meal looked Very tasty. Thanks Beardsman. Of course Wes, Bob and wife.
24:09
"Dont eat that" - wes is pissed off lol
When coming your new video
Love your vids, and my mouth was watering when you guys were eating those crawdads. Oh and Wes S. super hilarious guy, put him on in more of your videos.
14:03 it was at this moment, he knew, he f***ed up
Haha
He was only trying to demonstrate how you trap em in the desert.
Really enjoying your take on life
and your love for the land of which we must be good stewards
I am so glad I found this channel! BTW Wes does secretly work for PETA
LOL
great content! these videos take me away from my everyday stress, you have no idea how many people these videos help. many thanks!
“Can’t get in or out”
*spills everywhere*
LOL
Your videos make me want to get out and explore again, you give me inspiration
The one piece of video I hoped would be corrupt. And here it is! literally laugh my butt off.
Droping crabs then catching crabs again 😂😂 It was like my Uncle after a night at the bar 😂😂
Hahah Wes, good times buddy!!!!
Lol
You and Bob need to visit Chris in Canada.. Cmon man make it happen Woodbeard!
Sven The Destroyer that would be awesome.
I’ve been watching your videos for the past few weeks, just subscribed. You really are an awesome guy. Keep em coming!! Oh, I watch all of em to the end. I loved the maple syrup one too!
Thanks Veronica!
what you talkin bout i call them mini lobsters
they call them that in China too
We call em crawdads
I call em crayfish
pre-lobs or loblings
Aquatic Cockaroaches
Great series. Thanks. Truly enjoyed. Great to see hansler again.
Wes is such a character
You are awesome man, such a good attitude about life and nature. I envy your life!!
oh ... so this is the good content side of TH-cam!
I just about never laugh out loud when alone. But the mummy scarab routine when the trap opened on wes.. good stuff.
Awesome tasty video! We do this in Wisconsin as well.
Wondering, you have wild rice? Got my harvesters licences gonna try processing it this week.
Lucky you. It's not legal at all for us to harvest in Canada...protected :(
My two favorite survivalist TH-camrs in one video!? This is a dream come true!!!
Damn you're making me jealous, crawfish season in New Orleans doesn't start until January
I hope y'all sucked da heads!
I've been watching since 2:45 this morning and it is now 4:37 Pm and still watching
How did it go with Bob's surgery? I missed the update
It went well. He's 6 times better in one eye, the other has no vision, but he's confident that he can get back up and going.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman Excellent news! Now you have to convince him to do a survival challenge up in Canada in the winter.
I might of had a slow start to this survival challenge, but nothing like doing college work and listening to two grown men wrestle a 5 foot gator gar in another tab while typing essays! Absolutely love the series!! Great to see you getting out and exploring more wildlife and environments than your own backyard. Makes you have to rethink your survivalist strategies, I.e. The big fires. {Hope bob looks forward to anothersubscriver and viewer too!}
Please do a bow fishing video
One of the best channels on YT, I love it!
We call them crAYfish in Australia also.
I guess when in Rome though haha
It's like an everywhere but the south thing. Down here we say it as a joke
Ayyyy!
I've always called em yabbies cuz I thought it was funny. In Tennessee though we call them crawdads
I know this because of AC/DC. They've got the biggest balls of them all.
ah cool from Canada I'm moving there been there few times and all of a sudden all youtube I watch are from Canada i have been enjoying alot of your videos cant wait to see alot more.
We call them "mud bugs".
No we don’t
We just call them crawfish
@@MadGamer-qf4nt your a idiot how thats what they call them where hes from ive heard of it
In Louisiana crawfish are a part of our culture. Other places (except maybe south Texas and few others) don't seen to make them the same. Try Zatarain's crab boil and add a little vinegar or lemon to the boil, helps them peel easier. Good stuff.
Those "small" crawfish are big in Canada. 😂
I fully watched this episode twice. Great stuff.
Once a while you get the daddy crawfish and lemme tell you they are real-
*T H I C C*
Mein Mein sick
@@NRUTO-ev6op your dumb
I miss when my sis would visit Shreveport lousiana and she would bring me coolers full of crawfish back you are talking about a smell that takes some getting used to while being cooked but delicious when eaten this vid takes me back thanks brother and good job on trapping proud
Nice !
14:03 Why did he sound like a wounded Minecraft character
emera lmaooo truee
I am surprised you only have so many subscribers, you're videos are so awesome and interesting to watch man you should have at least a million subscribers. When i'm able i'll be sure to become a member of your channel. Keep making great videos :D
Crawdaddies !
That was pretty interesting as usual my friend. Keep up that great work. Greetz from Germany.
We call those minnow traps up in Maryland. Wish we had a good amount of crawfish up here!
God bless you bro keep showing us the way through the wilderness
Vegans are gonna love this "humane" way of boiling crawfish. LOL
bahahahahaha
Shellfish lack the brain power to feel pain. Crawfish, Lobster, and Crab feel no pain.
Also they die almost instantly in boiling water. It's not like throwing a mammal into a pot that slowly dies.
@@levvy3006 odds are that's probably true but it's still not proven.
Levvy, yes, they do feel pain, but when they're plunged into boiling water, it's so fast it most likely doesn't register as pain.
So it's like a basic crawfish boil. Badass that you caught them yourself man cool video
You had one job Wes! One job! Jk. Def a Wes sub too!
Gotta laugh man!!!
I always watch 100% of ur vids man. Very entertaining
On the bigger ones, the claw meat is effing delicious!
Never tried the claw meat! Great idea thanks!
Great catch and cook!! My mouth was just drooling!!
*WAIT- why you keep saying “bite” instead of “pinching”?* I love water related food ❤️, keep up doing these!!!
I just subbed instantly, I love these types of outdoor channels.
how have i not realized that you look like Tormund from game of thrones but skinnier
:)
I think he actually plays him
Corey Cushinan 🤣 he does
