I remember finding this channel a while back and feeling so inspired to get out and explore the world. Now I'm flying to Thailand this week to start my adventure! Thanks Matt for showing us the right way to live and giving inspiration to people like me. Yeah dawgies!

Anybody else like the video before it even starts, just know it’s gonna be a good one when fdys uploads!

Matt the freshwater catfish we have here in the USA are exeptional eating. There are three main species, channel catfish, blue catfish, flathead catfish. They all are great table fair. The saltwater catfish we have are not the greatest of eating. The bloodline in the most catfish species makes them taste like mud from the bottom of the waterway they live in, so we just bleed the fresh caught fish out or remove the bloodline off of the fillets.

On one of your earlier videos from two years ago, you told people to just get out and enjoy the outdoors. So, on a whim I packed my backpack and headed to The Badlands National Park in South Dakota. I purposely chose a rather harsh yet beautiful area. I had to pack in a gallon of water 💧, plus what was in the Camelback. I hiked in six miles and spent the night. It was almost 90⁰ and windy. It got down to a peaceful 54⁰ that evening. I could hear the coyotes at night. I also saw a rattlesnake. I packed in my eReader, but didn't read much and just enjoyed my environment. I ate a meal of spaghetti 🍝, a backpacking meal. I'm now fifty-seven years old. I will try and do these adventures while I still can. I hope that you inspire people, especially young people, to get out and make their own adventures!.

you gave me the motivation to get out of my room and explore the nature

I have never seen anyone so appreciative of nature and the desire to provide from a natural design. It is so impressive that I have literally watched every video. You good sir, make life look good.

Great video as usual. What you might not have been told by people here in the US about catfish is that we have several different types. There is blue catfish, channel, silver, mud, flathead and they are not all created equal. Some are great tasting and some are really bad but even the good ones have a couple of tricks to make them taste good. When you clean them, and take off the skin, you have to remove all the red between the skin and meat, some of them also have a lot of fat between the skin and meat that has to be removed to taste good and some of them, no matter how you clean them will never taste good.

He is precious with how much he appreciates his food. I have never met an Australian in real life, but they seem to be the most passionate people.

The only thing I hate about your videos is that they end, they’re my favorites bud , and please show us eating it all lol that’s the second best part

Another awesome video. I've been sick for 3 months, almost died but lay in bed waiting for your weekly uploads. Thank you for your content.

It is always nice to see like-minded people. People who love adventurer and the outdoors, people who inspire others to explore the world. Love your videos, man; keep up the excellent work.

The look of utter disgust when he ate the catfish was priceless

“Field day, gotta say it and ik we all thinking it, your probably the best at survival tactics and you do excellent so keep doing what your doing.”

These are absolutely my favorite videos to watch besides the bushcraft, survivor fishing videos. I absolutely love that youre still doing this safely FIELD DAYS!

I used to fish for carp in France and have a catfish rod out at the same time. We would catch dozens of small catfish and bbq them all day. Delicious 🤤

He was genuinely happy like a child, in a good way. That overjoyed feeling was channeled to me as well because it was real. A pleasure.

Try the catfish ( maybe from a bigger cat)battered and fried like chicken. Just a suggestion. Love all the videos, and thank you for sharing your adventures Big Dawg! One day I want to eat a mud crab after watching so many on your channel!

Dude Mat don’t miss! You know it’s gonna be a good morning when you already made your Dog and Gun and sit down outside to see that FDYS dropped yet another great video! I gotta try that FDYS coffee and see if it’s better than the medium roast drippers I usually get. Cheers guys and have a great day

Grilled crab over coals or smoked are the only way to eat them. The smoke flavor is just amazing

God bless you people that see this have a great day.

Anyone else see the irony of a bloke being outrun by a fish out of water, time after time? 🤣

Thanks for the joy you share through your videos mate! I don’t even like fish or seafood and I still love to watch your adventures… I really appreciate your hard work! Please keep it up!! Greetings from Barcelona!

Matt, I so want to see you two come to the US. I would love to see you do a youtube colab with the one and only Hannah Barron. It would be a riot to see you go catfish noodling with her. You are supposed to ditch the blood meat, and just eat the white meat.

Fieldy is the G.O.A.T of survival videos🐐🇦🇺

Hate to say it but I'm with Big Matt, catfish have a muddy taste compared anything from the ocean!!thanks for the awesome adventure, can't wait for the next one!! Till then peace ✌ out my friend

Hey big dawg. Sunday isnt a funday without Field Days video. Big love from Norway! Keep up the good/fun work mate :D

that's crazy man. i have lived in the south all of my life and we LOVE catfish here in America. Fried catfish is one of the best things ever around here. People line up at restaurants that specialize in catfish.

Well you could make a mud crab omlet. Eggs, mushrooms, onions, spices, bacon, avocado. Yum.

You need to pull the mud vein in the catfish, if cooked and not pulled it taints the taste. Very good deep fried in batter 😊 But I get why you don’t care for it, considering the quality of everything else you catch and eat. I’d give anything to be able to do what you do, keep on keeping on friend, the husband and I love your channel. Much love to you Maky ❤

In the us (Florida) where I live we have a few different types of catfish. If they come from a good source with clean water and not a muddy bottom they are really good. Just a mild white fish.

Who’s the greatest mudskipper of them all? Who can skip through the mud with the greatest of ease? What kind of wonderful guys? Who can crawl like a dog without scraping his knees? Who’s got segmented eyes? It’s Muddy Mudskipper It’s Muddy Mudskipper It’s Muddy Mud Skiiiiiip - - Perrrrrrrr Shooooooooooooooooow!

You can use Tea Tree oil to keep the flies and mosquitos away. I put it on ankles, behind knees and on my neck when I garden. Works like a charm

Officer: what did you do! He’s not responding! Field day: don’t worry mate he’s just sleeping

I love every part of your videos. Really appreciate you sharing your adventures.

I caught an 8 pound catfish in a freshwater lake I grilled it, it was so good!!

3 Sausage, 3 bacon, 1 egg, hash brown, black pudding, fried bread, beans, tomatoes, 2 toast and a large cup of coffee with whole milk and 2 sugars...... You asked for me to tell you a better breakfast... I give you, the best breakfast ever devised by humanity. It's called the full English and like everything we do, it's just incredible. Kind of like Australia, I mean if Australia is how amazing we English people make a prison, you get the idea of just how epic we are at everything we touch..... God damn we are just awesome at everything!

I'm so happy you gave your genuine reaction to the catfish, here in Jamaica we too do not eat them at all but they are plentiful in ponds. I've never tasted them but I've heard they taste like mud so it was great seeing your take on it. My favourite fish is mullet, no special seasonings, just roasted on a fire and some pepper and salt and mmmmmm don't even need the pepper, fantastic fish

27:19 FDYs I feel like I’m right there with you 💯✌🏻 Great video, Great views, even Greater content each time. I’m from US and never had catfish lol Well Done, Friend 😊

You know your Sunday just got better with Field Days.💯%🔥

Love starting Monday morning watching you in WA, a few hours before. Great start to the week. Keep it up!

This guy can survive any weather or situation just incredible.

Great video as always Matt but we are all missing your lady too. Is she still on vacation in Europe? It would be great to see you guys back in the Troopy. Peace .

Awesome!! Enjoyed like always. Appreciate you !

Tuning in from America as usual, I don't eat salt water catfish. I usually eat blue catfish, channel cats, and flatheads. There completely different than other catfish around the world. I also think there are better eating fish because I don't eat them much and the have to be deep fried I'm from the south 😂. As always ye doggie

Catfish is literally the best eating fish and so easy to cook and clean😮

I'm guessing there's probably quite a difference between saltwater cat and freshwater. All the catfish where I live in Canada are freshwater.

Enjoy your mudcrab,relax & keep safe

Great catch and mission completed as always. 👍👍👍👌👌👌👌

Freshwater cats better than saltwater

I really likes how he gives you a GOOD sneak peak of what’s going to happen in the intro. With longer videos it keeps me watching through the slower parts. Hopefully that makes sense. Keep killin it brotha, amazing content! (it’s kind of like having a captivating trailer for a movie)

Your are hilarious. The look on your face with the catfish....Man you have put a fresh mud crab on my to do list before I move on.... just fabulous

I've newly discovered your channel. You are the MOST Australian ever and I love every second of it (and that's coming from a South African). Keep up the awesome work!

22:34 what a place to wake up in 😊 live it and love it. Y’all are living the dream out there 💯🤙🏻☮️

Good morning all it's going to be a great week ahead after seeing Matt's video. Hi Mac10, Bowie and Bob. Hi William, we made it thru this last storm. I hope your doing good. On with the adventure

Thank you for sharing this video!

Soak the catfish for 24hrs in ice water, that will help pull the fishy oils out the meat and also allow the meat to absorb seasonings and spices a lot better but it will also make the meat taste so much better period and one more thing catfish is mainly battered and deep or pan fried. I am an American, but I am not speaking for America. I am speaking for myself, and I myself would have never eaten catfish the way you just ate it. Love the vids and what you do. I have learned so much from you. Thanks Broskie

Your channel never gets old!!

M &M massive love and respect always.keep em coming bro and please stay safe out there

Plz keep it up can’t wait to see u teach yours kids these mad skills 😊

New thing is catching and eating them showing in detail how good they taste and in detail how you cooking them up in some good recipes

A brilliant watch /absoulute legend .Great work bud 👍.

Sunday is my favorite day of the week because it means you have uploaded a new video

In the US, freshwater catfish is good eating. Saltwater catfish is generally not kept for table fare. Awesome video!

Love the solo bush camping videos keep it coming yeeee dawgiessss❤❤

I love your vids mate. Favourite KZfaqr for sure! Copped some FDYS Merch. Much love from melbourne ❤

Love these mudcrab videos 👌🏼👌🏼

*Pan fried catfish are beyond delicious: battered in cornmeal and submerged in olive oil. Drizzle with hot sauce or green Tabasco and enjoy.*

catfish IS good. im thinking maybe we have a different kind of catfish here in the US, though. and we usually beer batter some chunks, fry them up, and serve them with Louisiana hot sauce. it’s delicious.

congrats bro adding a new member to the field day family.....best wishes to u and mac

I'm from Vietnam and I really like watching your videos

congrats on another great adventure!

My favorite videos are catching mud crabs n fishing then catch n cookin

The facials and "That's not good fish" - funny mate. Good video

catfish po'boys are one of the great achievements of american cuisine.

My family did catfish fish fries all the time. Soak the filets in beer for a day or two in the fridge. Then batter dip and season flour coat. Deep fry in oil. Very good white meat.

New orleans here, we love crab and catfish. Acquired taste to some👍🏾❤️

Crab flavored coffee!!! 👌👌👌 genius!!

Matey, nothing better than a big donkey of a mud crab cooking on a fire. So glad to see you back in mangroves chasing those lollipops.

I'd watch this over and over just to see the mudskipper hunt!

I love watching this stuff after I smoke 😂

One thing you've definitely shown me is how tough a real survival situation would be in that area!

하늘이 너무 이쁩니다 .. 맹그로브 숲에서 먹는 저녁식사 .. 이색적이지만 부럽네요 ^^

That line :- That's the ripper of crab😅

Ngl I don’t remember when I discovered this channel but it was sometime this year before June, but I’ve already watched idk how many videos of your channel but I’m loving it & I just now the smell of Smoke coming from a fire is just amazing, I’ve always like fire & trying to create a fire I am only 20 but I know how to put a fire out if anything went wrong, this one time I went camping in Tennessee by a giant lake with my best friend & his younger brother, mom & stepdad & we all camped out, while me & my friend went to get some firewood and I basically took care of the fire to keep it going & even brought home a piece of driftwood from the lake home with me lol but I’d love do that again whenever they plan on going again.

“Empty your jokin” to gold 😂❤❤❤

Catfish taste test was funny. Man Australian fish must be next level eating.

Love it Mate your videos are always 10/10

Another catfish lover from the states here. Maybe they taste different on that side of the planet or maybe the water was brackish? Fresh water cats are much better. Try deep frying in beer batter. Love you, bro!

Catfish is like Starbucks Coffee in Australia. Some Americans quite enjoy it - because they don't know any better.

LOVED this ep bro. Idk what it was but just felt surreal and exactly how i wanna be living, posted up next to the troopie with some crabs and a sunrise

American Catfish guy here. I am going to say the same thing pretty much every American is saying. I always have fresh caught catfish in the fridge. Catfish are fantastic but we primarily eat Channel and Flatheads here. On occasion a Blue or bull. Channels and Flatheads are our main eaters depending on where you are from. We bread or batter our catfish here. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to do though when you are making survival videos. Honestly, if I was where you are from I would probably feel the same way considering how many good tasting fish are out there. We also cut the red meat out of catfsh. I think you would enjoy it if you had it American style. I love catfish but you just can't beat fresh tuna or snapper. Anyway, keep it going for us brotha. Love the videos!! P.S. I think what you caught is a hardhead catfish. Which I have never tasted.

Love the vids keep it up my dawg!

I agree with that statement. I am in Florida and we get a lot of catfish here. Small ones are really good as long as they’re not in muddy water and we like to fry them if you have never tried fried catfish you’re missing out.

Great watch cheers bro 👊🏽

Its a Lollipop 😂 just perfect 👌

Don’t know if you have ever used this technique but my grandfather taught me this. Tie a noose on the end of fishing line and use the pole to maneuver the noose over the small animal (lizards, crabs etc.) and lift the rod up. BOOM food👌🏻

Fried catfish is a southern American delicacy🇺🇸

Great video. Love hearing you laugh

Keep pushing through bro we love you💪

Love the bog roll trick 👌🏼
