@@WildKiwiAdventurer thanks I just discovered your History this week and it's amazing. I admire you guys so much. The only thing I would like to see happening was your parents having one of that fancy wooden houses for them in the same location so they could enjoy a bit more confort 🙈 when they are not out as they getting older. Your website design is really cool and once I move to my new house I would like to order one of your father's paintings. Thanks for sharing your family with the world 🤗
Thanks for putting this together guys..I’m an expat kiwi who grew up in taranaki ...and can appreciate your lifestyle . I once hitched down the Wes t coast south island .spent a few weeks in a white baiters hut at the mouth of the fox river with a view of mt cook early 80s ..anyway I digress ..you guys are special .ye rugged west coasters☮️👍
OMGosh no diving and the size of the kina wow paradise, do youz eat the hua(gut) tasty in creamed or minced paua, nice in sausages too. Thanks for sharing, very special whenua.
I’ve seen the documentary about your older lifestyle and I can’t believe how much you’ve grown! I bet you recognize every crevice and rock near the river haha.
Paua sounds a bit like sea steak. Good to hear some food stories/ethics and see the old man out. It sure is healthy prepping your own food. All the best. Mark
Creamed paua yum Fry a lil bakon n onion n butter Add minced it small cut pieces of paua Fry gently Add cream simmer let sit Yumo Bjonnn onion bring out the paua flavour more strongly Njoy god bless
Hi! I'm from Malaysia. Just discovered your channel and immediately subbed. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your family's beautiful and amazing lifestyle.
Hi.... I'm your new subscriber.i found your channel tru your filipina friend who defend you from a mean comment. May God bless you sir! And Merry Christmas. 😍
great drone shot of the gorge! just wondering, how does paua/abalone taste like when cooked? i heard paua/abalone are slowly becoming endangered species (their shells are used in luxury jewelries) pauas/abalones are one of the most expensive shellfishes in the world that's why, i wondered how these "expensive" pauas taste like?
Yes they are very expencive. Its.kind of hard to explain what they taste like....its not really like any other food. It's quite rich, a little bit like snails but no where near as strong.
Awsum vid If u shuk paua after soaking them in hot water they remain soft The hot water relaxs the mussles n the paua Try it plz a lesson from durvill island I learnt
Hey, I absolutely love your channel. I found it from the documentary bush babies. I really did not like the way the documentary woman presented your family and I think she made a lot of unfair and false statements. I admire your way of life so much! Much more authentic and pure than the typical modern city life style.
Thank you very much! I'm glad to have you as a subscriber. She didn't do a very good job however we have had a few more documentaries since then. And we had one guy from England and he did a really good 1 hour long program in us. Sadly it is not on TH-cam however. It still plays on National Geographic from time to time.
No she hasnt yet, she has decided to do other things, she is actually studying the fiordland crested penguin that lives near home and is one of the world experts on the species. And she works in concervation. It's funny becaus I ended up veing the one who.went and studied, the opposite to what we both wanted as kids
Your father seems such a nice lovely guy. Bless him
Thanks! Ill let him know

@@WildKiwiAdventurer ...its been awhile since this post....do you know the title of the show? Was it Ben Fogle "Where the wild men are" ?
Did Robin ever attend university like she wanted to?
No she hasnt yet, she has decided to do other things, she is actually studying the fiordland crested penguin that lives near home and is one of the world experts on the species. And she works in concervation. It's funny becaus I ended up veing the one who.went and studied, the opposite to what we both wanted as kids
Obviously you don’t have to go to Uni to become a recognised Expert.
How can people not believe in God when they see how amazing creation is designed?

Thats how nature works, one animal feeds another and without that balance the whole food chain collapses.
@@WildKiwiAdventurer true, so when you return the beds wiped out
@@drthomason7043 our beds have been healthy for the last 40 years, no overfishing so no problems
