What this video covers

Brett and Jade Evans, after completing an Atlantic crossing, fly back to Canada to visit Jake and Nicole of the YouTube channel "Off-Grid with Jake and Nicole," who have developed raw land into a homestead and recently bought a sailboat.1:10 The visit centres on foraging and harvesting food from both land and sea in the Canadian wilderness.6:06 The group sets prawn traps at roughly 300 feet depth, explaining that the traps must rest on the seafloor and that the top portion of the line should be weighted to keep it from floating and fouling propellers.10:28 Crab traps baited with ling cod carcasses yield several males over six inches — the video explains how to sex a crab by the shape of the abdominal flap.19:07 Wild foraging includes bull kelp (cut rather than pulled to avoid decimating the bed), wild chives, sea asparagus, and a crabapple.15:20 Jake describes composting wood shavings as carbon and food scraps plus seaweed as nitrogen for a three-to-six-month compost cycle.16:04 The foraged and harvested ingredients — crab, one prawn, sea asparagus, wild chives, garden beets and purple carrots, and fresh wasabi — become a single meal.21:13 A BetterHelp sponsorship segment is included.Watch
