But its value goes far beyond that.

Lin Yu’an stood up, looked at the clumps of kelp farther away, and added, ”In many ancient coastal cultures, it is also an important herb and tool.”

”Dried kelp can be used to brew tea, which is said to relieve joint pain. Moreover, it’s a natural weather forecaster.”

He pointed to the air bladders and explained, ”These bladders are very sensitive to air humidity; in dry and sunny weather, they become shriveled and hard.”

”But before a storm, when the air humidity increases, they absorb moisture and become soft and elastic.”

Of course, it’s not entirely without risk.

”The most important thing is the collection site. You must choose tidal pools that are far from human activity and with clear water.”

”If it’s near a port or dock, they are likely to accumulate heavy metals and pollutants from the water, which would be poison, not a supplement.”

After sharing this precious knowledge with the audience behind the camera, Lin Yu’an’s collection bag had become heavy.

Inside were not only enough mussels for a meal but also this kelp which could provide crucial vitamins and flavor.

On this seemingly barren Labrador Coast, you only need sufficient knowledge and a keen eye.

Nature will always prepare a bountiful gift for you in the most unexpected corners!

As he was focused on collecting, something shining in the sunlight caught his attention.

He walked over and picked up an item from a pile of seaweed and driftwood washed ashore, an empty mineral water bottle with the cap still intact!

”Oh ho! Look what I’ve found!” He held this unexpected ”treasure” up to the camera, a genuine joy on his face.

”This makes me happier than finding gold!”

”For the civilized world, it might just be garbage, but in the wilderness for me, it’s an extremely important tool!”

”From now on, it will be my personal portable water bottle, I can fill it with water and carry it with me, allowing me to explore further.”

”In explorations and hunts where frequent movement is required, a lightweight water bottle can greatly conserve my energy and ensure I can replenish water anytime.”

After the tide had receded to its lowest point, it only stayed for a short time before it started to slowly rise again.

Lin Yu’an knew that the time available for him to gather each day was actually only the one or two hours between low and rising tide.

With a bag full of harvest and that precious plastic water bottle, he safely returned to the shelter before the tide submerged the way back.

Back at the camp, he rekindled the long fire pit.

He first carefully washed the mussels with fresh water, using the back of the knife to scrape off attachments on the shells.

Then, he placed them into a metal pot without adding a drop of water, directly closed the lid, and put it over the fire for ”dry cooking”.

He explained, ”This is the best way to handle mussels, using their own moisture to steam them.”

”This method retains the most flavor, and also makes their texture firmer.”

Soon, the pot emitted a ”crackling” sound as the mussels opened their black shells one by one under the high heat.

An extremely fresh, pure ocean scent began to permeate the entire camp.

He poured the steamed mussels into a makeshift dish made of bark, leaving a layer of white broth at the bottom of the pot. He added some fresh water and kelp to continue simmering.
