Survival camping with my 4 & 6 year old sons in the Scottish highlands. We built primitive shelters and foraging food for our meals.
My family and I spent 21 days touring the UK and while in Scotland we signed up for a wilderness survival and bushcraft class with Wildwoodbushcraft.com. Me and my 4yr old and 6 yr old sons build survival shelters and slept in them. Foraged the loch for our breakfast and learned valuable bushcraft and foraging skills.

24:50silver instead of gold as you look right over here they've got
24:54no whiskers a carp has kind of these foo man chew whiskers
24:59this guy's got nothing his bottom looks kind of heart shape just like a sucker

28:47both of the alligator guard jugs in his leg have disappeared so we're just
28:50cruising around looking for him
28:55oh yeah pull him pull him in what you got you got oh he twitched a
29:01little bit see what happens to the bait look comes
29:03up the line yeah see any scales on that you're right all
29:07the scales on the side come off every time
29:09look easy easy watch it be careful i don't don't lean over the side just
29:14thinking that's a baby
29:19that's a little one that's not even big that's a baby
29:22that's a 15 pound if you put your hand anywhere right here and he moves it will
29:28cut you oh you see that you just got to rub your
29:30hand on the outside and he will cut you yeah yeah
29:33those teeth are so short see these little parasites see oh it is
29:37gar lice on oh get it there we go did you call it gar lice that's what i'm
29:41calling him now i just made it up look at that they look like a little
29:44tiny skate Tommy said he's super jealous that you
29:47got to catch that alligator gar
30:01all right guys we got a big mess of catfish and that alligator gar
30:05we're gonna clean them up and that's gonna make some good food
30:08i'm gonna take the shell of the back right
30:12there we go all right step one you have to get in
30:16between the scales
30:32i think this is how it's done there you go
30:35one half where you going there you go it's not bad for a little fish if you
30:39clean it you gotta scrape it that's gonna keep
30:41that meat from breaking down like the same way bowfin does so the meat is
30:44already trying to break down now yeah yeah i see that haven't been dead
30:47long gar are a lot like bowfin their meat breaks down as soon as the fish
30:52dies so you want to clean and play it right
30:54away and what he did is he scrapes the meat with his blade to get kind of the
30:58enzymes and the bad meat off and then you don't
31:01wash it off okay you put it in the bag and freeze it dry
31:04and that seems to help prevent the enzymes from breaking the meat down too
31:08a little higher
31:12more than one way to skin a cat right we're gonna fillet one side
31:18like that see mm-hmm then we're gonna cut it
31:21off
31:24cleaned up gonna scrape the tail and we're gonna flip him over
31:28we're gonna put a couple of sleds in him and he's ready to fry
31:31you can eat everything but the bone we used to do this as kids
31:34this how it'd be money to go to a local factory and skin fish right
31:38today i probably lose money but those young guys pretty good
31:43go put those catfish in the crab pot and we're gonna catch some blue crab too
31:47guys all right we're gonna clean and cook up
31:49that buffalo we caught last night i'm using the word we
31:51very very loosely
31:55so
32:11look at that that is good looking here we go that's
32:14one bone in here right in the middle see it yeah
32:18you fry it just like that and pull the bone out
32:22nice we're gonna eat some lunch and we've got ourselves
32:26pastalaya and fried garfish balls hey eat your pastalaya you come eat your
32:32pastalaya and we have gar balls this is like gar nuggets oh what what

34:40Yeah, I got a couple.
34:42Oh!
34:45Where's it going?
34:47There we go.
34:49Right on the record.
34:51It's close.
34:52Goodness.
34:55Oh, that's a good one.
34:56We're going out.
34:59Oh!
35:00Oh, what just happened?
35:02I don't think I've ever had so much fun throwing a net.
35:06This is absolutely insane.
35:09Check this out.
35:11Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
35:15Do we have enough bait?
35:16I think we're good, buddy.
35:18I think we're good.
35:18I think we got your bait situation taken care of
35:21for the year.
35:25Look at the size of these.
35:43I got bait for crawfish, crab, and gar for the next six months.
35:49Holy s***!
35:51How about crabs?
35:53We did pretty well for crabs, by my opinion.
35:55I'm going to scoot my way to the front here.
35:57Pleasure to meet you.
35:58I'm Randy.
35:59All right, catching them is the easy part.
36:01Now I've got to get them all frozen and packaged away.
36:04Hey, where would you, uh?
36:06Hey, Stafford, there's a scale on your boat.
36:08Right there where my light is, there's a little slimy spot there.
36:12You know how to dirty a boat.
36:14I know how to mess a boat up so quick.
36:20You got enough bait?
36:22We do have enough bait.
36:23We have enough bait.
36:24Well, after a long day of throwing a cast net,
36:27we've got deep fried garfish patties,
36:30baked catfish, white beans, corn, and rice.
36:34I am going to sleep like a log tonight.
36:40You just fed your frog corn.
36:43Here, take your frog.
36:45We need to get some sleep.
36:46I'm exhausted.
36:48I'll see you guys in the morning.
36:52Look at this.
36:57What a beautiful way to wake up in the morning.
37:00Right here in the bayou.
37:02I'm really sad.
37:04Today is our last full day.
37:07Tomorrow morning, we head back.
37:12Where's Tommy?
37:14Ah, there he is.
37:15Hey, Nathan.
37:16All right, guys, let's go get some breakfast.
37:19Oh.
37:26Tonight, me and the boys are doing a survival camp out.
37:29We are going to go and hike into the swamp
37:32with all the leeches and alligators and cottonmouth.
37:36We are going to camp out in the swamp tonight.
37:38So I've got to really quick pack up some stuff
37:40into my backpack, and it's going to be fun.
37:45All right, Stafford's busting out the burner.
37:47We're going to do a crab boil.
37:48Probably yesterday.
37:50It looks like some sort of nightmare
37:52with all the little feet sticking out.
37:58Ew, yum.
38:00I love crabs.
38:04We were going to eat the crabs last night,
38:06but we got so distracted by the mullet,
38:08we didn't have time.
38:09So we're going to use one jar.
38:10One whole jar.
38:12Woo.
38:14Get away.
38:15All right.
38:18I admire your spirit, crab.
38:22We're going to put everything in there, right?
38:24We're going to put the corn later.
38:25Boil it.
38:26We're going to let it boil for 10 minutes.
38:27Shut it off.
38:28Let it sit for about 15, then we're going to take them out.
38:30Woo.
38:34I can feel the heat coming off this.
38:39Oh, man.
38:41A little bit of heavy.
38:42I'm going to put it on the pot.
38:44Set them down.
38:45There you go.
38:46Let them drain a little bit.
38:47Let them drain a little bit.
38:50Oh, my goodness.
38:55Look at this plate of crabs.
39:01Oh, look at that beauty.
39:02Oh, man.
39:03I can't believe you caught him.
39:04He looked so fast.
39:05He was so fast.
39:11Well, guys, we got a nice belly full of crab.
39:13Now, me and the boys are going to do a little survival camping.
39:15Sam is going to drop us off on the bayou, and we'll see what happens.
39:23Here, Nathan.
39:24Grab the spears.
39:26I'll go get it.
39:27Oh, here.
39:28No.
39:29Tom, show me your frogs.
39:32Oh, my goodness.
39:33We got a tree frog and a big old chameleon.
39:41Hey, Nathan.
39:42How are you doing?
39:43I'm good.
39:44Oh, right there?
39:45Yeah.
39:46Watch your fingers.
39:47Watch.
39:48Yeah.
39:49It's huge.
39:52Yeah, take your life vest off.
39:54Why don't you leave it?
39:55I don't want the alligators to take my life vest when they take charge of me.
39:58Exactly.
39:59And you guys probably want your spears, right?
40:01Yeah.
40:02If you get hungry, don't eat them boys now.
40:04See you.
40:05See you tomorrow.
40:07Oh, boys.
40:08Look at this.
40:09This is a banana spider.
40:10A banana spider?
40:11A banana spider.
40:12Oh, those are the creepiest spiders.
40:14And there's so many of them.
40:16Oh, you want to see if it'll attack the stick?
40:18Uh-huh.
40:19What do you think?
40:20Is this swampy enough for us?
40:21Yeah, it's swampy enough.
40:22All right.
40:23Follow me.
40:26You got your spears?
40:27Yeah.
40:28Okay.
40:29Oh, yeah.
40:30We can spear an alligator.
40:34Yeah.
40:35It gets deep over here.
40:37It's easy for an alligator.
40:38Is that right?
40:39Yeah.
40:40You can just swim underneath it.
40:41You guys following?
40:42Yeah.
40:43Land ho.
40:48All right, guys.
40:49We found ourselves a little bit of high land.
40:51And there's some trees here that we can start using to build camp.
40:58Here it comes.
40:59Here it comes.
41:09Oh, man.
41:10The rain has brought the bugs out.
41:12But I've got the boys out of the rain and under the tarp.
41:15Now I need to worry about food.
41:17And, man, I just, I need something to cook on and a way to cook out of the rain and out of the mud.
41:29I'm out here working on this shelter.
41:40And Stafford comes up in his boat and says, I got something you need to see.
41:44Holy mackerel.
41:47What do you think about that one?
41:48That is not a buffalo.
41:49That is a massive grass carp.
41:51Pretty fish, eh?
41:52Oh, my goodness.
41:53Look at this grass carp.
41:56Woo.
41:57The biggest one of those I've ever caught is 36.
42:02That one's over.
42:03You think it's over there?
42:04I think it's over.
42:05Take care.
42:06That was cool.
42:07Catch one of those on a rod and reel, man.
42:09That'd be fun, huh?
42:10Yeah.
42:20All right.
42:21There we go.
42:22Got it done.
42:27Oh, yeah.
42:33So we are going to make fried frog jambalaya.
42:37And I have a bag of four live yellowthroat frogs that me and the boys caught last night with our bare hands.
42:46Four frog legs in a pot.
42:47All right.
42:48We're going to put some Cajun seasoning on these frog legs.
42:52The seasoning is making the frogs twitch and jump.
42:55Is that creepy?
42:56There's a frog in there.
43:01Now we're going to fry up a bunch of vegetables.
43:05All right.
43:06Now we've got this Cajun spicy jambalaya mix here.
43:22Get up into your hammock.
43:23Just take it nice and careful.
43:25You don't want to fall.
43:26Let's see.
43:27Tommy, you in here?
43:28Yeah, up here.
43:29Nate, you in here?
43:30Yeah, I'm right here.
43:31All right, guys.
43:32Let's see if we can get to sleep.
43:44Right before I fell asleep, I was in my skivvies and I flipped my hammock, fell into the mud,
43:49and I tore a hole in the mosquito netting.
43:52And I had to jump out in my underwear and fix the mosquito netting, fix the platform,
43:57fix the hammock, re-rig everything.
44:00And the bugs ate me alive because I only had bug repellent on my arms and legs.
44:05And so I've got dozens and dozens of bites where the sun don't shine.
44:10I have been itching and itching and itching all night long.
44:14My arms and my back are just bumpy.
44:18Look at that.
44:19He's biting me through my shirt.
44:22Man, they're just thick.
44:26Good morning, Tom.
44:29Nathan.
44:30Good morning.
44:31Yeah, we're alive.
44:32You're alive?
44:33We're alive, but we're about five pounds lighter from all the blood we donated.
44:37I've got itches in places that shouldn't be scratched.
44:44All right, guys.
44:45We're out of here.
44:46Bye, mosquitoes.
44:47Watch out, son.
44:48That was awesome.
44:50Oh, man.
44:51He has the biggest smile on his face.
44:57Man, I am so covered in bug bites.
45:00Oh, my arm.
45:03Look at that.
45:05Holy crap, that's a lot of bug bites.
45:07It feels good to be clean and in fresh clothes.
45:10It's our last day here.
45:12We're going to be leaving in a few hours, and I'm sad to go.
45:15This has just been awesome.
45:17This is our second trip with Cajun Experience, and it's not going to be our last.
45:22Every time you book with these guys, it's an exclusive experience.
45:25There's no mixing parties.
45:27You get the entire houseboat to yourself.
45:30It's just an amazingly affordable and unique experience.
45:34Highly recommend you guys check these guys out before they figure out they're undercharging people
45:39and raise their prices.
45:41This is a great deal.
45:43Oh, man, guys.
45:45We got to come back with Grandpa, don't we?
45:48Yeah.
45:49We're going to see if we can catch another giant gar.
45:51Tommy doesn't got a fish.
45:53He is moseying.
45:54We're heading back to the car, and we're just checking a few jugs.
45:58And sure enough, there's something big on this jug here.
46:02Pull him up.
46:03Let's see what Tom got.
46:08I don't think he's got anything.
46:10Yeah, you're not lying.
46:12All right, Tommy.
46:13Look at your dad.
46:14Look at Cameron's smile.
46:15Cheese.
46:16Cheese.
46:17That's awesome.
46:18Is that as big as Nation's?
46:20That is a little bigger, I think.
46:21Woo, did you hear that?
46:23We got to get going to the car, and there's no room in the boat.
46:26So we'll leave him there and come back and release him later.
46:29Yeah.
46:33Guys, was that a fun trip?
46:35Yeah.
46:36Man, we just had a ball.
