Tbh the foraging episodes are some of my favorites, even more than fishing for big lingcod and salmon.

Thank you so much for sharing your Alaska trip like this. What an honor to see those salmon fulfilling their species goal. The natural world is such a beautiful system

Chum salmon are also sooo delicious to just dry in the sun and eat through the winter months, dipped in seal oil. That is how we traditionally eat it on Nunivak Island where my mother is from.

You outdid yourself Taku with an A+ discovery documentary like scene at the river with all those salmon. Great job at explaining and edit/montage the music into it. Always love watching your content

The reason why this is my favorite catch and cook channel. Fishing lessons, Cooking lessons and Nature lessons. Go 1M subs!

Taku literally filming the circle of life 👏💯

Chicken of the woods is one of, if not the most, protein packed mushrooms there are. All of the other ones are water, maybe a couple carbs, some vitamins and minerals. But COTW is straight up a plant meat. It's awesome. Cook thoroughly. You found some choice fruits! Great vid.

I had just found some chicken of the woods. Went on KZfaq to see about identifications and cooking preperations. And you had just posted this video. What a lovely day!!!

Great job explaining that those salmon don't go to waste but are a huge reason Alaska is such a beautiful place! Everyone should visit it one day

You made 15 minutes feel like an educational documentary somehow! Loved every second of it!

I like how you used your glasses to make it more clear! Great episode Taku!

I am new to your channel. I started watching after you did colab videos with Chef Hiro. My husband is a hunter and I stayed home with the kids. Now they are almost grown and I go out with him. I bought a nice camera and while he goes hunting I take pictures. I just bought a book about mushrooms in my area after watching this. Thank you for inspiring me. We are hoping to do more fishing and exploring this year.

Yes thank you! It's amazing watching you enjoy my great state!

I enjoyed that David Attenborough moment 😆👍🏼

The shots of the birds and salmon were brilliant!

chicken of the woods cooking advice; in this vid he still had them slimy and when eatin at that stage its pretty the same as eating a portabelo sandwich but if you cook them till they're dryer they get crispy and take on the texture of chicken waaay more with a little crunch. if you put butter or like him some sauce on them after that is peeerrrffecctt

Chicken of the woods! Something I didn’t expect to find when I moved up here but it’s everywhere. I’m currently sat in my backyard here in Sitka smoking some king salmon on a homemade smoker. Your smoked pink salmon video inspired me. Thanks!

I love the foraging episodes. I found my first chicken of the woods last night… 8.5 lbs!!!!!! People aren’t kidding when they say they taste like actual chicken.

I have watched many many of your videos but this one truly hit the top of the list for me. You and Jocelyn make an incredible team, you are both very fortunate.

Everything you see and feel out there, including rain, makes life wonderful. The mushrooms look heavenly.

Wow what an amazing sight. I am jealous of your Alaska trip but happy for you guys at the same time. Keep giving us great content Mr. and Lady Outdoor Chef!

Production value on this footage is through the roof! Thanks for all the amazing content! Loving vicariously through you guys and your Alaska trip!

Love chicken of the woods! Got some chicken of the woods, black trumpets, and some chanterelles minors in the fridge right now all the way over in Pennsylvania! Love these kinds videos glad I found this channel. I’ve been into foraging and outdoor cooking a lot and these videos are a blessing! Peace and love stay safe!

Peace and Blessings Taku and Jocelyn.... You guys Rock in the most pure and simple ways... Stay blessed....

The scene with the salmon and eagles was incredible.

Love the foraging mushrooms!🍄 and Tako and Salmon! #1!🤙Aloha🌺

Probably the best footage of nature you've ever shot. Excellent work! Looked like an episode of National Geographic! lol

I know 500k subs is nothing to sneeze at, but it feels way below what you should have. Great content, thanks for sharing your trip!

I’m not a vegetarian, but with this episode, theirs a first for everything

Of all the folks making videos, Taku I know you are finding the real beauty and adventure of that great land! Soon the termination dust will start to fall and you will have to leave or be stuck.... are you driving back or taking the ferry? Keep living the dream.

This is amazing to see the beauty of nature

Thats one hell of a score on Chicken of the woods! Yummm!

The way you opined over the life cycle of the salmon was excellent and true. Probably some people didn't know that. The stunning beauty of life. And all the ecosystem benefits from it.

B Roll was epic, awesome video!

@6:00 was feeling like a historical nat geo moment, great video

A couple days late, But I really enjoy your forage videos.👍🏻 Mushrooms, seaweeds, crabs, clams etc. solid

Sometimes, I feel like one of those salmon when I'm at work. Thanks for sharing another amazing Alaska adventure.

Getting my wild mushroom dreams coming true by watching your mushroom hunting vids! Such beautiful specimens!

Hello and welcome back Taku !

Pull-pork-chicken-mushroom BBQ-onion burgers. Wow!

Salmon are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing Taku and Jocelyn!

Wow, that seriously looks like chicken. Looks good 😊

One of the best series on KZfaq! Keep it up ! Can’t wait till the next Alaska trip 👍

It's a vegetarian meal with the mushrooms I never tried that always use jackfruit but definitely I will try it with mushrooms. Nice video and looks sooo peaceful and I bet the air is so fresh also the nature. Thank you and hope you showed us the sunset that will be the best.

When passing through Washington head to the beach it is razor clam time. You should have a fishing pole out with a crab snare . Great episodes!

TakLyn, thanks for sharing - love your videos!!

I love your channel. I live in Northern Humboldt County California on the Klamath river and it is eel,sturgeon and salmon time of the year as well as mushroom season as well. Keep up the awesome work you do, I totally admire your presentation as well as passion.

This is the 3rd time this week that I have first heard of 'Chicken of the Woods' mushrooms. Thank you for showing us how to use and cook these..

Beautiful footage, and the reverence of Taku for the salmon and the circle of life was stirring, affecting. Well done.

My favorite KZfaqrs 💯love you’re content

Thank you for an awesome video! Truly, the circle of life, giving your life for the next generation. Having an ingrained navigation travelling thousands of miles with no guarantee that you'll get back to deliver the next generation. Amazing, stay safe and healthy!

taku tuesday let’s GOO!

Awesome find with the wild mushrooms. If you didn't catch any salmon, you got something else, and the way you prepared the mushrooms looked great. Cheers! #TakuTuesday ✌️

I like the mushroom episodes. thanks for the salmon lessons

lol the Sunglasses on camera lens looked and worked better than you think ALSO BRILLIANT

Perfect! I was just going to suggest featuring some of our diverse fall fungi, and here you are doing just that! So pleased you are enjoying your time here in Alaska. You have done a wonderful job of showcasing why we love living here. It's moose season, so perhaps you can get in on that before heading south.

Those slow-mo nature shots were so good!

Salmon are literally the coolest fish. I think its so amazing what they do within their life cycle.

I'm so happy your channel is really kicking off. Love the videos and always have.

You guys are awesome!!! Keep them coming!

My favorite way to eat chicken of the woods is in curry....more mushroom videos please, Ive been hunting them for years, and want to see more people join in on this hobby

This was very moving. One of the videos I will remember for a long time. Thank you.

Wow !!!!! Thank you!!! So amazing!!!

Finally subscribed! I am immensely impressed by your approach. You are the reverse of a lot of youtubers. You're not a fisherman trying to figure out how to sell merchandise. You have a great talent and let stuff come to you! Also, you are the one guy I wouldn't want to get into a knife fight with, lol. I would end up getting served on shari rice. 🤣

I love mushrooms and I would definitely eat this.

Dopest footage of the year bro awesome awesome meal. I do a lot of foraging you can actually take the forest floor, clean leaves, small branches, berries etc. (All edible) and roast apples pears etc. It's beautiful has a delightful fragrance and taste . Try in video

Great video Taku ! What a Special find on those mushrooms, Dr. Kevin would have Loved those and the Awesome recipe. The series has been a Fun one , Can't wait for what's Next ! 💕🎣🚐🌟👍

Stoked to hear your coming to Alaska again. Cannot wait to see the adventures you get into. Definitely need more SHRIMP!

So now everyone's gonna have a camera with a polarized film; and I think that's fantastic!

Great photography. Thanks.

Definitely one of the best ways to eat Chicken of the Woods is the pulled pork way. Number one is chicken strips or nuggets. My kids love the nuggets.

you found so much COW in one place in the perfect condition! so young, tender, bug free, and beautiful! i've only ever found one in that condition and way smaller in my 6+ years of mushroom foraging. what a gift from nature, enjoy!

Liked the educational monologue, worthy of a spot on NatGeo.

Excellent video awesome sights I tell you ain't GODS COUNTRY OUTSTANDING TOTALLY MENTAL BROTHER I COULD NEVER GET ENOUGH OF ALASKA GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER AND YOUR FAMILY

Oh I am so jealous. I am a mushroom hunter and have never found a Chicken of the Woods yet. You made me hungry

So glad you are enjoying your trip here in Alaska. These videos are great.

Omg I love everything about this video! Thanks for a great content and being so considerate for the viewers! Thanks for explaining the salmon cycle for us to understand more about the nature! Love you and Jocelyn!❤😍😁

Bro not gonna lie this is your best video ever! soo much effort! from taping wild life to cheffing! good job king!!

I’ve never wanted to try a mushroom so badly in my life. Great video as always Taku! You are my new favorite channel. Always look forward to Taku Tuesdays! I’m telling everyone who will listen about your videos

His explanation about the salmon was so beautiful though

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. just wanted to say... before i even start watching 🤣 hope the day comes when you guys hold a meet up. i can see all of us chilling in a beer house somewhere ☺️🤌

Ahh man I'm supper Jelly.. I Love Just giving it a good sniff when ever I find some I see you do as well lol Good stuff..

Great Alaska Edition video.

Super cool idea!!! I can’t wait to try that. I find chicken of the woods all the time when I’m hunting. 😜

The wonders of nature ... it's chaotic, brilliant and totally incomprehensible to our feeble minds.

living the dream... great vid

Best video yet! thanks

mushrooms.. I've never liked them and this is the first time in my life I've wanted to try them

What’s a life you two have! Enjoy and stay healthy as always.

Yes great vid bud, always make me wanna cook and get hungry!!! beer pulls always look so joyous

I feel for all the fish that have struggled poor loves so true with everything you explained.

Honestly. You have such hard Bob Ross Vibes the way you talk and soothe your Voice down and sound calming. It's like watching a Parallel Universe where Bob would've been an amazing Chef and painted with Food. And I don't mean to offend, you're amazing. Like literaly. I don't know I just see so much Influence and Love in this that it really makes me smile. Thank you for that.

another awesome video. looks amazing

Looks sooo good! IDK why I always watch you videos on an empty stomach.

Collab with land shark outdoors. You guys are both some of the best catch and cooks in my book. You guys are both in Alaska. That would be awesome.

Wow, Alaska is absolutely beautiful, loved the content bro keep it up!

It makes me wanna leave the crowd city after watching your video.

Hey Taku, you should come up to Oregon during Chanterelle season! I am sure you know this, but they are even better!

Sick sunglasses shot!!!
