We Accidentally Arrived After A Natural Disaster - Fruit Hunting in Vanuatu 

You should check out PNG and the Bismarck Archipelago some time, the origins for many Pacific food species

Thank you fir your explanation and for sharing everything you experience with us that you want to. Take care.

I was there and can confirm there were two category 4 cyclones with a 48 hour gap between them. We experienced a short calm as the eye of the first storm passed over us. The ongoing impact on the availability of locally grown fruit and vegetables has been severe although the situation has improved considerably.

thank you!

How do you know its related to climate change? Hurricanes, and cyclones are normal/natural.. How can u say that one bad storm is because of climate change directly? Im genuinely curious how u make this correlation..

@@JonHop1 These cultures on pacific islands have known cyclones or typhoons for centuries. Some places encounter multiple every year. They know what is normal intensity and what is abnormal. In many places their architecture have adapted to the weather and can withstand them. The trees have adapted to typical cyclones too and normally wouldn't be killed by one. For it to become a disaster, something must be wrong.

@@YelDohan That makes no sense.. There is no such thing as "normal" Weather patterns change constantly over time.. The earth changes.. Maybe you do not know this, but just because there is a weather "disaster" doesnt mean anything is wrong. Climates change naturally. We go thru warming and cooling cycles all the time. Its normal.. Fact is, this person has no clue if 1 storm is correlated to human-caused changes.. Fact is, it is far more likely is was just a normal rare storm that happens from time to time every few decades.

ikr lmao - “kadakoo plum”

So, it's pronounced Kak -a - doo, rhymes roughtly with cockatoo.

Took me a sec to work out that he was talking about the Kakadu plum : )

Ikr 😂

So nice of you!

Wow, thank you!

interesting!

I'll never understand the fascination of cosmetics, beautycare, & haircare companies making their products sound more like a fruit salad than something you're supposed to slather onto your person.

Normal stinging nettles are safe but there relatives of them called gympie gympie which can burn your or very irritate your skin also when he mentions stinging nettle he might get confused and think about other species because he visits tropical places. The species you’re taking about is urtica dioca which doesn’t grow fruit either

This is Tree Nettle which is genuinely dangerous. In NZ we have tree nettle called Ongaonga. It’s painful, much more than European nettle, and causes more serious symptoms.

Not dangerous really. but they can sting. Some more than others

@@WeirdExplorer there is totally stingless fruiting relative of them called suhosine mulberry would be cool to try.

Also I could read the sadness in your eyes. Thank you for having a heart, and a face. To stuff fruit into.

Also, I'm excited to pick from this tree next time it fruits and try fruit from the same tree as you both haha

Congrats! it's a beautify country with so many islands to explore 😁

There’s a lot in California

Man I hate fruits but love the videos

omg same (i am homosexual)

definitely

Thanks!

Castor oil is used for constipation, because quick exit is the reason it does not have time to make much harm to a person.

I tried it earlier this year. video coming up in the future. it's a really cool one!

And it worth a lot in my country, 15 usd for a kg

these aren't the same species though so that might be why

@@WeirdExplorer that could also explain it! I know all the ripe ones I've ever eaten were not crunchy at all.

Hoo...ray?

yeah it's hard not to be part of the problem all you can do is take some efforts where you can afford to. I feel like I do my part in other ways so I don't feel too bad about getting on a plane.

@@fredo51 That's a valid view to me. My personal ideas: I am am orthodox atheist ;). So I don't think I'm a god-appointed caretaker of the earth (as many christians do). For me it's about the world I want to live in and also a bit about the world other people and beings live in. I like seeing diversity around me, with bees and butterflies (which are almost gone where I live). That's aesthetics, makes me happy, probably heavily culturally influenced. But I also really value clean air, because my throat is quite sensitive (not by choice) and starts hurting when I breath in a lot of fumes. For me, a world with a high diversity in (fruit (to be on-topic)) species, a range of plants and insects, and somewhat stable weather looks good. A world with a lot of fossil fuel fumes, big smelly cars, monoculture fields, no insects, floods all over the place and heatwaves is just less attractive. The changes in the environment, caused by humans, are happening now, I see them around me now, so it's not just for the next generation. For me it's also not distopian to eat plant based foods and travel around by bicycle. I found living in a car-centred US was much more "impoverished" than my life cycling and walking around among other human beings here. And I also care about the other human beings, project my world view onto them and think they will be happier too in my "green utopia" than in your "wealthiest utopia". Climate change is making life harder in a lot of places, and I'd like to limit that. As far as this future view, I care about my 4-year old nephew, who'll get to experience a lot more of the problems, and I wished my parents (and people of their generation) had made different choices. Is it rational to care about others? I don't know, but I live by the idea that if we all do, the world is probably a nicer place. Perhaps it's a bit Hobbesian in the sense that I have this feeling (more than rationalisation) of a common rational good to strive for. But my means to strive for it are not placing myself in the hands of a just ruler (I have very little sense of authority), but engaging in discussions like these. What's your idea, do we just have different utopias for ourselves?

China is the biggest polluter worldwide. The USA is trying to lower emissions and get more renewable sources of energy. Small island nations have to have visitors to earn enough income to survive since an awful lot of things have to be imported. The USA and small island nations are the countries being hit the hardest by changes to weather from global warming.

😂

There's always a place for a little dark humor

Hi Steven and Jared my friends the worlds highest vitamin c fruit is the Kakadu plum terminalia ferdinandina combretaceae family it’s a 100 times more vitamin c than a orange it’s native to Kakadu.

Steven actually chipped a tooth while filming this 😳

Back to your hole 👉

Weather modification is real.

You should be compensated for existing lol, everyone should

What?

true but tropical almonds aren't related to regular almonds
