Marty, buttering up the wife, with smokey mussels and wine, can only mean he wants to bring home another rusty project he found. Brilliant! Marty is a genius. =P
I don't know... He did mention a medium boom crane last fall that he saw & liked. ;) That's the only heavy equipment he doesn't have as of yet. Problem is he'll have to do some additional excavation and leveling out because that little garage (by today's standards and what he already has) isn't going to properly house it! Good thing is it will help enlarge the footprint of the garage area! He'll be using a lot of his new acquisitions over the past year on that project!

you comment it's a hard life, looking at some of your video's, non of it comes that easy, idillic but you have to have good work ethics, well done enjoy life.
After we children left home , Dad and Mum moved to Picton where their love for walking was indulged . One day whilst walking by a piece of steep shoreline they saw a large clump of mussels they could not ignore . Dad removed his clothes so he could put them on dry when he climbed back up .He used his sun hat and underpants to carry the harvest in . He found he needed more receptacles, so Mum took off her blouse and threw her singlet down to him . Just then a troop of Boy Scouts and their leaders walked by . Dad cowered naked in the water below , plastering himself as closely as possible to the bank . Mum moved as far aside as the narrow path allowed , smiling as pleasantly as she could manage and remarking on the very nice day. Mums bra was designed by the chap who did the San Francisco harbour bridge ( that’s what Dad told us) and she cut a fine figure Dad said . Ah Marlborough sound mussels , a great memory in quite a view people’s lives .
I wonder if Mrs T has any idea her partner is a super hero, with his super powers being able to fix pretty much anything, make entertaining ram videos and prepare food gifted from nature
That right there is the meaning of life Marty, you have a beautiful spot on the water and I love how you generate your own power (as an electrician I can appreciate that) The life you live there, being nearly self sufficient is just awesome. I hope to do the same once I get up to Idaho USA
What a great video! As I said before in my previous comment, with the way the world is struggling with this pandemic and the other problems your videos of the boat repair and boating trip with your family are very uplifting. We can all enjoy this morning with you. Thanks again for your time and videos. Muscles look so good 👍. I'm just outside of Nashville Tennessee watching the rain come down all day today.
Skills and Class. Double threat guy/ Ben talking to your Mom I see, you can't have too many boats. You and Andrew Camatara are in a league of your own with talent and editing skills. Thks for editing your content putting in the extra time. Andrew slowed down a bit on his content so give us the hour plus shows if your up to it. Thomas
I've found your channel and I agree that there is a very comforting quality about them, watching all your videos, super enjoyable, your land is absolutely gorgeous and tranquil, be well and keep doing what you do, cheers.
Green Lipped Mussels!! Lived in NZ for a few months, one of my favorite places on Earth (wife and I are looking for a retirement home on South Island), in any case, to anyone reading, not a finer tasting mussel, or bit of seafood, and I've grown up eating every variety of shellfish there are. If you can get them, try them, if you can get them in NZ, even better, and if you can get them fresh from the bay, well, life *isn't* any better than that.
Well done Marty [no pun intended]. Btw, I've always loved that saying: you're braver than the first man to eat an oyster-or in this case, a mussel. Though after seeing how you cook them, maybe it wasn't so bad after all. Thanks for the "how-to" re: mussels/oysters. God bless.
The view here is amazing. Can't help but to watch these videos partially for these views and landscape, along with all the awesome content in the videos as well. Part of me can't help but to respectfully think though, they are either 1 or 2. 1. doing pretty well for themselves. 2. property over in NZ is priced affordably enough where one can buy and enjoy a nice slice of paradise like this. Keep up the awesome videos. Something about them are so relaxing to watch.
DANGIT MAN, you sure are making a lot of people jealous ! 😊 Yeah I know, IT DIDN'T COME FREE, but looks like it was worth the work put into it, so enjoy ! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍
What a view from your deck!! So we get boating, engines, machinery repair, off grid power, sailing and now a cookery channel!! Amazing Marty. Any chance of a tour of the property?
This is living in Paradise !! Goodonya mate , also to be doing it totally off grid , all the shellfish and fish you want , wild game in the hills around you , much envy , cheers Marty.
Fantastic. My first green lips were on a kayak trip in the Abel Tasman Park. The guide pulled a whole cooking kit out of his kayak and cooked them with garlic and olive oil for our afternoon lunch break on a beautiful beach. From then on, I couldn’t get enough of those things. However, here in Smokey California, I cannot find any. ☹️
We eat mussels less often as a starter or as a snack, rather as a main course. Here we have the large Zeeland mussels from Yrseke Netherlands, but the small French mussels have a sublime taste. I am a fan of mussels, thought previous episodes, I would eat mussels every day if I could pick them straight from the sea. Greetings from Belgium.
Yes, the Green Lip mussel is nice but we also have the "Horse" mussel which are huge, good for using to ferment with other food, otherwise the Horse mussel is a meal all by itself
Dear Marty T. 👍👌👏 Very well done again and as always! I like this video very much (although I'm not able to eat anything like fish). The view from your balcony is nearly unbeliiiiievably fantastic! Congrats! Sigh, I would love to live in your country. But unfortunately I'm not rich enough to be accepted by the government. Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
GEEZ ..... I hope that wine was a Marlborough white ?? .... love the 'Sounds' my Ex 's family is from Bulwer .... Enjoy the Spring ... Cheers from Aussie ...
Looks delish Marty. Its pretty much how I cook mine and same method too, but I use little bit of garlic butter and then the chilli sauce. Then wack it in the cold smoker for about an hour. The kiwi life aye boys

Great view you guys have...dang.. Cooking mussels is a treat, never tried smoking before, just in a pot until they open and then 5 min on low heat..yummy stuff..
Your videos are so comfy, no loud obnoxious background music, everything you say is relevant to the topic at hand or interesting. And your content is always of top quality.
Never change Marty, never change
Couldn't agree more.
Marty, buttering up the wife, with smokey mussels and wine, can only mean he wants to bring home another rusty project he found. Brilliant! Marty is a genius. =P
LOL :) Yeah, that universal. :) Marty's no dummy! The question is, what is he looking at now> :)
So we'll get another repair to watch soon I reckon .... 😂
Means he got another boat he didn't tell her about yet
I don't know... He did mention a medium boom crane last fall that he saw & liked. ;) That's the only heavy equipment he doesn't have as of yet. Problem is he'll have to do some additional excavation and leveling out because that little garage (by today's standards and what he already has) isn't going to properly house it! Good thing is it will help enlarge the footprint of the garage area! He'll be using a lot of his new acquisitions over the past year on that project!
Happy wife, happy life.
What is impressive is he made that cooker from a 1973 Mercury Capri.
You're way off, mate. It was obviously a Holden Commodore.
Some would argue that that would be the only good use of a 73 Mercury Capri.
Are you joking? Or is there a video of him making the oven?
That would be a ford capri in nz
Naaaa, Marty's a land yacht kind of guy. It's a It's a Merc LS Ultimate!
You have to love how the wife very civilized eats with a fork, while Marty uses his fingers!
I thought Marty was gonna offer the 1st one to his wife/Sheila, then he eats it!
Artemus Rodricq --- Sheila is more of an outdated Australian saying, Kiwis are more civilised than that, not as socially repressed as a lot of Australians.
I like to eat with my fingers
@@art1muz13 LOL I was thinking the same thing.
Artemus Rodricq we call them bolt ons around here
you comment it's a hard life, looking at some of your video's, non of it comes that easy, idillic but you have to have good work ethics, well done enjoy life.
So sorry to see you doing it tough Marty. Cheer up, things will get better.
Charles Thibault sarcasm I’d say 😂
😄
maybe we could start him a give a little to help him out. Nobody should have to go through this
oh man that looks mighty yummy, lovely setting, nice white wine, good company. A reassuring reminder of how life is meant to be lived. Cheers
Doggo at the end, peepin with those eyes...

Marty, Beautiful view from your deck and even better with your wife and the days catch!
very nice, brilliant with old machines, and he cooks.....
For all sorts of reasons you are a very lucky man .🤗 Mike from England
Forget the mussels, what a sensational view! OK, I can't forget the mussels...mmm
I wonder if Mrs T has any idea her partner is a super hero, with his super powers being able to fix pretty much anything, make entertaining ram videos and prepare food gifted from nature
It's the whole reason she married him I bet
They're all like that here in NZ ;-)
Do the math on Marty's viewing numbers and youtube's payment model and I think she might have a fair idea.
Check out Mrs Ts channel, they both have super powers!
Marty is living the dream
He sure is.
thx for sharing...indeed it is beautiful!
Hey there from Virginia, USA. I really enjoy your videos being of a like mind to resurrect old machinery. Keep on,,,keepin' on!
Mate with the amount of boats and tractors you have I legitimately doubted you had a wife
Love your work your a lucky man to live in such a lovely place👍makes you wonder why 27 people would give a thumbs down jelous I guess
Totally impressed from mechanic to chef excellent
I love how you did the "grab the oven rack real quick" thing. It's a good trick, like you're wearing oven gloves but only for about 0.5 seconds.
Bliss! The simple pleasures... good company, lovely food, nice wine and what a view. Jealous as hell sitting here in the rain 🤣
That right there is the meaning of life Marty, you have a beautiful spot on the water and I love how you generate your own power (as an electrician I can appreciate that)
The life you live there, being nearly self sufficient is just awesome. I hope to do the same once I get up to Idaho USA
250C for 15 mins and Marty pulls out the baking tray with his bare fingers......superman indeed!
romantic dinner on the deck with the mrs, still running the polar fleece. legend.

Wonderful love smoked mussels will ty this recipe next time.
Washed down with one of those sublime Marlborough savignion blancs!

I live in California and Im jealous of his paradise lol. Its so chill man.
marvelous view from your balcony.
This will keep me going for a couple of days.
Quite the Life Mate ! Awesome videos , Dirt Hawk ! across the pond !
The more scenic side of the tractor/heavy equipment/boat rescue sanctuary. Marty fixed, Mrs. approved.
Million dollar views with polar fleece and cask wine, good on ya Marty

You are dead right there KW. Everything just tastes so much better when it is harvested and cooked straight out of the sea in NZ .
Well done Marty [no pun intended]. Btw, I've always loved that saying: you're braver than the first man to eat an oyster-or in this case, a mussel.
Though after seeing how you cook them, maybe it wasn't so bad after all. Thanks for the "how-to" re: mussels/oysters. God bless.
Some of us live vicariously through you Marty, well done and all the best!
Your videos are some kind of therapy in this pandemic.
Great work Mr Marty T.
That view looks fantastic, you are a very fortunate family. Great to see you and the missus enjoying the mussels Marty.
The view here is amazing. Can't help but to watch these videos partially for these views and landscape, along with all the awesome content in the videos as well.
Part of me can't help but to respectfully think though, they are either 1 or 2.
1. doing pretty well for themselves.
2. property over in NZ is priced affordably enough where one can buy and enjoy a nice slice of paradise like this.
Keep up the awesome videos. Something about them are so relaxing to watch.
Mrs. T: expertly deploys fork
Marty: I don't need that thing laying there on the table 😂😂
Lovin it, lovin it, lovin it. Nice one Marty..
Keep relaxing and enjoying life Marty T. We only get 1 shot at it. 👍🍻
Oh my, this looks amazing. Would be good see see a tour video around your property just so we can all get even more envious.
Your life must seem a living hell being in paradise and no tropical flowers or butterflies to adorn your balcony.
My regards to you and yours.
What a marvelous view from the deck of your house. I’d love to visit NZ but I’m afraid of the dinosaurs that escaped Jurassic Park.
"Behind every great man is a great woman" ... and we finally got a glimpse of Mrs T. Thank you for another awesome video.
What an awesome view :)
What a cool view you have from your deck Marty....
your recipe and the view are out of this world😊 thank you!
Damn those looked good. We have a lot of fresh water clams here in Texas, gonna have to try that recipe. Thx Marty
Your view is absolutely bonkers, i love it.
DANGIT MAN, you sure are making a lot of people jealous ! 😊
Yeah I know, IT DIDN'T COME FREE, but looks like it was worth the work put into it, so enjoy !
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍
What a view from your deck!! So we get boating, engines, machinery repair, off grid power, sailing and now a cookery channel!! Amazing Marty. Any chance of a tour of the property?
What a dining seat view, tremendous. Really like all your videos thank you so much...
Marty, your videos and you always give a boost on my thoughts to live life like that. i hope i can accomplish my plan to live simple living lifestyle.
Nicely done Brother.
This is living in Paradise !! Goodonya mate , also to be doing it totally off grid , all the shellfish and fish you want , wild game in the hills around you , much envy , cheers Marty.
Great vid mate. Good to hear the nice native birds singing. All you hear in Queensland is bloody crows.
Mussels are great but bluff oysters & paua pretty dang good too Marty. Nice smoked to boot...👍🏼👍🏼
I can't argue with that.. Scallops are my favorite
@@MartyT Not too bad at all the same with Geoduck... the 3 in one shellfish
I’m so jealous! You all are living the dream! That view is amazing!
What a beautiful view!
That view... the wine, the food... soooo jealous
Fantastic. My first green lips were on a kayak trip in the Abel Tasman Park. The guide pulled a whole cooking kit out of his kayak and cooked them with garlic and olive oil for our afternoon lunch break on a beautiful beach. From then on, I couldn’t get enough of those things. However, here in Smokey California, I cannot find any. ☹️
Yes ,that's all i can say !! its all in the way you cook them ! and the view , plus the wine ! ( local )no lockdown ! thank You !
Marty , looks like you and your lady are enjoying a nice cooked meal. My lady likes when I break out the smoker and do brisket. 😉😉😉😍😍😍
We eat mussels less often as a starter or as a snack, rather as a main course. Here we have the large Zeeland mussels from Yrseke Netherlands, but the small French mussels have a sublime taste.

Sigh, I would love to live in your country. But unfortunately I'm not rich enough to be accepted by the government.

holly shit, Marty party in paradise!?? keep living the dream Man! dig the smoker, share some more BBQ content maybe??????
Beautiful! 😀🙏
Lovely mussels; lovely view, lovely snack.
Great vid Marty, thanks for sharing
It looks very good.
Good work Marty, from a very envious Timaru Boy living in retirement in Taiwan......... Man that ticks all the right boxes.
I always wondered why you live on the top of the mountain and now I know - what a view! I'd like to see more.
You lucky lucky man, greetings from Ireland.
Living the dream mate
I hate mussels .. but I’ll take a glass of wine and enjoy that view .. gorgeous spot you have there Marty.
GEEZ ..... I hope that wine was a Marlborough white ?? .... love the 'Sounds' my Ex 's family is from Bulwer .... Enjoy the Spring ... Cheers from Aussie ...
Haha no, dirty cask, I ran out of beers.. I love Bulwer, the blue cod pretty much jump in the boat
What an amazing place to live also great videos, thanks.
not at all jealous of the bloody mussels but very much of where you live you lucky bugger - enjoy.
I live in the US Appalachian mountains in Eastern KY but Marty’s view is awesome!!!! The area around him is beautiful!!!!
So peaceful
Looks delish Marty. Its pretty much how I cook mine and same method too, but I use little bit of garlic butter and then the chilli sauce. Then wack it in the cold smoker for about an hour. The kiwi life aye boys
Damn, that looks good!
Crikey! NOW you're a chef as well, no less!
Wow. What a place to live. Nice to see you roughing it
Great simple recipe and a beautiful view!
Using my smoker this weekend to make some pork ribs. I’ll have to try some mussels in there.
👋Its a nice view from your deck😍👍
great vid, cant beat mussels from the sounds. especially having them smoked!!
Love the dog peeping up at the end!
Wow what a beautiful view as well !! Super lucky 🍀!!
Awesome view of the lake in the background!

Love that stove
You live a gorgeous part of the World. With great bounty at your door step.
Nice one Marty. On the mussels try a mix of butter, garlic, black pepper, lemon zest and BBQ sauce, put a teaspoon on each before smoking them👍
Sounds good, I'll try that. Cheers
