I love ur bit of film. Ive been cutting seaweed here on west coast of ireland for many years and ive been using these nets for about 7 yrs they ate the bollocks total gamechanger for me. Im so pleased to see someone makin a living outa weed , i love cutting seaweed.
6.92 miss Kim. Get it right 😜 basically 7. I had the location to thank for that. Starting to realise that the more muddy the area, the heavier weed. It can grow within the mud and suck up the excess goodness
Great job hoping to join you in uist in the near future. If you secure the towline to the bridal with a bowline the towline can freely move over the line and won't end up towing off one side of the vessel. Happy harvesting our paths may cross soon
Very interesting video my fave so far nice to see the industry revived. Its a great way to make abit of income for your family all while contributing to the community. Good on ya!
That was really interesting. Quite labour intensive and you also need to have a good head to work out all tides/ weather etc. Hope it gets used well after all that

Well mate how's things? Looking to start harvesting in Ireland. Glad to follow you along your journey
Great channel, loving the enthusiasm and ideas! Keep them coming :)
Thank you for being a part of the journey 😊💙👊🏿
Great video. Crofting in the Isles....you're living my dream man.
It’s such a fun place. It can be harsh at times but still a great place to be 😊
Our boy's back! And working HARD. 6 tonnes?? Bloody hell. 💪💪💪

It’s a tough of old job mate. Very tough during the winter months but fun nonetheless 😁
I'd would say you would be better with a small diesel engine fishing boat with more power to pull the net and then use the outboard for the inshore.

Oh the factory dry it and grade it. They sell it to farms or pharmaceuticals. I tend to use washed up kelp for the Croft 😊
Is that weight wet or dried?
BASF up on west of Lewis take in seaweed, I think it is used for cosmetics.
It’s weighed wet. Which is good for us. I don’t think it would be worth it if it got weighed when dry. But it’s a good earner if you break a sweat 👌🏿😊
What is the name of the company who takes it of you... iv been harvesting in Ireland for 9 weeks now..
You need 1 of them 360 cameras that you can wear or something so you can be hands free...I keep worrying you'll fall in.
I spent the whole day worrying that the camera was gonna get wet 😅 I’ll do another vlog and get some drone shots for you guys 😊
What is the seaweed used for?
The factory who collect it dry it out and grade it. It then gets sold to farms and pharmaceuticals 😊
