I set myself an overnight survival catch & cook challenge — no food brought in, everything had to be caught or gathered by hand.

For this mission I managed to catch mullet, gather fresh oysters and cockles, and cook myself a proper meal over an open fire. No shortcuts, just simple coastal survival using what the ocean provides.

As the sun went down, I spent the night camping in a hammock under pōhutukawa trees, sleeping beneath the stars. The only downside? Relentless mosquitoes absolutely feasting on me all night 😅🦟
Still, it was a solid night out, the challenge was a success, and there’s nothing better than eating a meal you earned yourself in the wild.

These are the kind of missions I love — simple living, fresh kai, and reconnecting with the outdoors.

If you enjoy catch and cook, survival challenges, fishing, foraging, camping, and coastal adventures, this one’s for you.

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel — means a lot 🤙
