Hey guys welcome back. Today's episode is all about appreciating and surviving from the ocean
So we are about to jump in for another SCUBA dive but stick around, later in the episode
we're going to be showing you how we feed our family from the ocean alright let's go
So we've been doing a lot of SCUBA diving recently the resort's been open and we've just
been enjoying being under the sea for a long time and yeah just blissing out down there but today we
are spearfishing. We respect and love everything that is under the surface and we believe that
the true way to manage a resource is to manage it and not just to exclude all uses of it so we
live in a place where fish is the primary source of protein and we work with everyone here, our
tourists and the local communities to understand how to actually effectively manage these resources
and we choose spearfishing because.. It's so selective we can go and catch exactly what we need
or the amount that we need and target particular species that we know are good eating and
um that aren't endangered so there's no by catch at all. Spear fishing is also a really
good source of exercise so living on a tiny island we don't actually get a lot of exercise
it's just day to day running around so it's great for us to be under there and actually actively
swimming against the current multiple dives it's a lot um a lot better for fitness than SCUBA and also
for your mental well-being as well. It's something that we love doing together we get to get away for
short periods of time without the kids and go and do something that we really enjoy
It's challenging as well, I feel like it's more of a physical challenge for us
and yeah always pushing ourselves to new new limits I guess. Yeah but now we're gonna jump
back in the boat get our guns and we're gonna go for a spear so let's see what we get yeah
and why are we on the beach you ask because Katie got a bit seasick on the way out here so she's
trying to recover before we get back in the water. Every time I feel like I've said this before but
I'm the kind of person.. I get seasick every single time but every single time I think I'm not going
to get too sick and I want to keep going anyway so that's me. Good story and then she found 50 dollars
Our hats keep blowing in the wind
Wow look at this big one
[Jase] Is he a good one? [Arlo] Yes.
[Jase] Lift him up come on muscles. [Katie] Oii
[Arlo] Hold the head as well
[Arlo] Okay I'm going to carry the one with the head open [Mirriam] Head open? Mouth open.
[Arlo] Wow.. [Katie] You got it? [Arlo] This ones a slippery one
[Katie] Good boy
Still raining oh I'm going for a little paddle
So we have been making videos now for over six months and we are absolutely loving it
and one of the most important aspects of our video creation
workflow is actually finding the right soundtrack to our life
Which is why we use Artlist. Since day one Artlist has been our source of royalty-free
music with its simple one worldwide license.
Let's see if I can paddle one-handed.. no I can't
It is easy to find high quality music and sound effects on Artlist which is why I feel like I
can genuinely recommend it to anybody out there who's looking for music. Artlist is an incredible
community of artists from all around the world who are paid really well for their inspiring
work while you can get an affordable subscription to add music to your videos and give it all the
vibes. A feature that I particularly love is the way that you can save music to a collection so I
have a collection for spear fishing, our off-grid build, SCUBA diving, moody vibes. Maybe I should
get a rainy vibes folder. It saves me so much time when I'm trying to find that perfect song
to fit in the storyline of my videos. If you are in need of music then Artlist is a must.
I could probably go on all day honestly I could. I've been so, so impressed by Artlist but I should
probably stop. Should I stop? It's kind of fun just floating out here in the rain talking about Artlist.
Head to the link in our description below to get started and to get two extra months free added
to your subscription. I'm blowing into the island here. So I think if I can make pretty cool videos
with awesome music all the way out here in the middle of nowhere,
then you probably can too. Off you go.
I think I still have a mask face, it's been like four hours
since we're in the water and I still have a mask base we didn't actually film preparing
this uh meal because we've been baking snacks and meal prepping today. Banana cake in the window -
yum. But this is a pretty classic meal for us. [Katie] Oh daddy cut me a new one I'll use that one
[Katie] Thanks, thanks for helping Arlo. So we have this conversation at the Uepi dinner table all the time
um we are of the opinion that the way to best look after the marine environment is to manage it well
and in places like this part of these parts of the world that means
harvesting just what you need selecting species which is sustainably able to be
sustainably harvested and just being sensible about the decisions that you make and
yeah this is what we feed our family and do you guys love eating fish yeah yeah both our kids
love fish it's a primary source of protein and yes it's part of everyday life here okay
[Arlo] Here's a long Tom chip
And that's a long Tom chip. [Ophelia] And that's a long Tom.
[Katie] Very good ha ha [Jase] I think we will leave it at that
Let us know your thoughts on this subject and we'll catch you next week
*Laughing* Bye, that's Kavai cutting the rain for me.
