Kimi Werner dives the cold dark waters of South East Alaska for the culinary treasures of sea urchins and sea cucumbers. She teaches us how to clean and cook these ingredients all while being on mom duty and learning a few lessons the hard way!

Not going to lie... I outright laughed when Buddy rolled down the hill... laughed even harder after realizing he was ok and not hurt... Loved how you couldn't keep your composure when you described how to process sea cucumbers, HAHAHAHA.... Honest and wholesome videos, mahalo....

I laughed when you said, "Don't roll down the hill"...... yea, right. As soon as you turn your back and get busy..... They're gonna roll down the hill......lol.
Buddy is just the cutest 😂😍
Wow what an incredible video! Only youtuber I can think of that hunts, cooks, and takes care of a baby all at once 😂
"Don't roll down." Rolls down. Oh he's adventurous like mommy.
Absolutely love how authentic your family is. I wish you all the prosperity
I have three kids and my first ate it in the sand tumbling ...that was my girl. My other two are boys and...they tumble non stop. I've always hiked and camped with my kids and Buddy will learn so much. Tumbles and everything you're an awesome mom. I'm so glad I found your channel after seeing you in Its Alive. ☺

Kinda missed hearing, “that’s not our dog!”😂🤣 That’s one of my favorite parts of your videos! Buddy is the man and a little tumble down a hill only builds character! Mahalo for the video!
You are so awesome, I laugh up when you said you found a keeper...lol my wife said da same thing. Buddy you are a rugged boy, moms going to earn choke trophies but she will always be awesome... hang in there Buddy!
Wow..! This is my first time seeing someone go thru the process of preparing sea cucumbers, very interesting and entertaining 🤙🏼 hugs to buddy 🤗💖

It is interesting to see how you really do not need expensive equipment and complicated hunting techniques to provide food for your family, good job Kimi! I just discovered your videos and I love them!
Ok why does Buddy look just like Jack Jack from the Incredibles!! Lol I wouldn't be surprised if he had supper powers with such amazing parents! You guys are so great!
Hi Kimi, Justin and the "Boss" (Buddy),..... I grew up in South-East Alaska and now live in Palmer Alaska. It is nice to see your adventures, cooking and some good down to earth strong and honest people. Many blessings and many happy trails for your family.

Great video. Keep them coming guys. Remember there are a lot of us kinda stuck in the same place for months. This videos take a special meaning throughout this process. Thank you!
yup LOL at first. Then something defined this production and crew. Justin's question of a nervous cold dive, Kimi's dive alone in cold dirty water, and Buddy's fall in the play pen of the forrest. "precarious" mahalo for sharing your best vacation everz. takumeze takumkea

This is the video a meant that i roared with laughter. And Justin is the cameraman and dad of Buddy. He saw his son rolling down the slope and he kept rolling the camera til Buddy stopped and let Kimi comfort Buddy while she removed dirt from his mouth while Buddy is crying. LOL !!
One of the most charming videos I've ever seen on youtube, instant fan. Great job.
This is the wholesome footage more people need to see.

Great video of catching, cleaning, cooking and eating these delicacies! Kudos to the cameraman for filming while you have the first ono bites. I wouldn't be able to resist.

Perfect day. 😁👍 I have dozens of recipes for sea cucumber meat. Delish ! 😁 I live watching your videos with my wife and daughters. Thank you sooooo much for sharing.
I cant help but giggle when you said it was a little more enticing once buddy got a little fussy. Such a mom mood! 🤣 I know that feeling all too well.
If I had the honour of having a Mother like Kimi, my life would of reached to another Plateau of self reliance/Healthy Living
Again thank you for your amazing content kimi!
Alaska is one of our fave getaways and nice to see a fellow islander catch and cook there like a pro!
You guys are the best, much love
Envious. Great dive. Uni from the wild is great. Best
Awesome video. U guys are so real!!
Just came back from SE Alaska, grew up on Oahu, and I was wondering about free diving for Uni and Dungeness crab. Mahalo for making this video Kimi. I'll be diving for them next time!
Mahalo for sharing this dive into the unknown Kimi! 😊 Such a great adventure for baby Buddy too 💖
I don’t eat sea cucumber or Uni but I enjoy watching your videos! 😄

this video made me smile from ear to ear, laugh and tear up. Super interesting to see you catch, cook and eat these crazy things, looks so yummy!! :)
In NZ we open sea urchin (or Kina) using two large spoons back to back pushing down and out at the mouth. Super easy! Looks delicious 😊

Making my way through all of your videos! I'm here from the Meat Eater series (which I loved! - hope there will be more) Your content is great and your family is so precious! 💙 Watching you cook while caring for Buddy is so relatable because we have our first baby, she's 8 months now and I love to cook but it can be a struggle learning how to multitask 😂 Thankful for ergo carriers!
Oh my gosh such awesome Ohana time...Mahalo's for sharing Kimi

Sea cucumber... throw away guts but the outside skin later can be eaten as well. Diced up raw and dipped with gochujang sauce made with sugar and vinegar.... sooo goood
The different wasting experience with buddy napping and buddy hanging. Told ya the Forrest helped with the mushroom experience! Uni looked super good. Never had the cucumber. Looked good. Cheers guys great trip
Thanks for the video. I'm going to try the sea cucumber, you Peaked my curiosity. Love uni.

Buddy is just sooo cute..Love what you do Kimi
I love the video!! thanks for the quick cleaning & cooking tips of the sea cucumbers. I live in Sydney Australia (moved here from New Zealand 9 years ago), I love the roes of the NZ (Kina) sea urchins (very much the same as shown in this video) plumb & delicious. People don't believe you when you tell them it melts in your mouth. One different thing about the NZ sea urchins - the spines are shorter. I've just subscribed and can't wait to go through your contents. Very envious of your beautiful country & lifestyle ;)
I’d really wanna try the sea cucumber now, I love calamari! Bring some Alaskan kine home lol And Buddy is a trooper . He’s most likely to be future world spear fishing champ!! Keep posting these good vids!
Great content thank you for sharing with us new sub from Las Vegas
Love the family vibe , I live in New Zealand, we call it Kina , absolutely love to eat this seafood with fry bread yummmm
Your an awesome diver, it's very rare to see female diver's like you. Definitely an inspiration...I love diving too but not as confident as you. I live in Australia so my greatest fear is the great white...I tend to hang around the shallows. You an awesome mum and I adore your relationship with the camera man and buddy.💋

yummm we call sea urchin kina here in nz.. never tried sea cucumber might try it. awesome vid
Those looks so good and their big. We cut them in half so it’s easier to scoop the treasures inside😀
Hi guys watching here from Philippines,I love sea orchin one of my fav.more videos God bless keep safe
You all are so wonderful
So real. Love your shows. I am NOT a fan of 🐛 or anything that looks like one so I was a lot grossed out, but watching you transform it was interesting. I miss going vana hunting. We did it every summer at Ali’s Beach in Haleiwa when we were little. One of my favorites child hood memories.
Buddy is very tough... Like mommy. Y'all enjoy. Aloha always. 🙏💜😁🤙
