Cooking SWAMP RATS in Louisiana
We're back in Louisiana! Three years have passed since I met Skeeter Ray and we cooked Crawfish Cajun style with his secret recipe. The original plan was to catch and cook Nutria, also known as Swamp Rats. An invasive species from South America, introduced for their thick valuable fur.
In this episode we finally deliver on the promise, and meet Chalyn Perez of Paloma Lake who hooks us up with a hunting experience we'll never forget.

Imagine having people all over the world you can call and just visit to have an adventure. That's pretty cool.
❤❤❤❤❤❤💯🤝❤️🔥
It's a cultural thing. If Cajuns don't know you they are standoffish, but if they know you just walk on in and grab a bowl of gumbo.
@@JaNeija but how do u get to know them in the first place then?=
@@markmonse1 Outside of their homes at first. They are hospitable but not stupid. If you are comfortable in a swamp then you are already ok with them. If you can speak Quebecois French there is a historical kinship nod.
When you live in the country adventure just happens.
We all need a Skeeter in our lives. Truly Blessed
There is only one Skeeter!
@@aleho1and that’s skeeter jean
Haha yep that is one beautiful person! Ol uncle Skeetz!!
"What a hell of a phone call on a fucking monday morning booiii " old man skeeter a g 🤣
"I don't give a f**k. Whenever you're ready- Come buddy." Bwahahaha that is a true friend right there 😂
dude wow i just rewatched your old videos with skeeter and prayed that you go see him again soon and few days later you dropped this.. i feel blessed. the world needs more skeeter
Cracking a cold one for the drive home is valid asf 🤣
Facts lol
thats just what we do in Louisiana baby
Before or after the Tanerite cheese block that we put forthe packrat desert
Since when did drinking and driving become okay?
@@AubreyMarlow-bn3pu always
Everyone needs a Skeeter in their life. What a lovely character!
😂m teling u man
Really loved uncle skeeter 😂
We meet again my Indian brother 😈
@@ATF.California Your Microsoft firewall is expired brother 🤓 Contact me for your refund
Gives me the vibe of a horror movie character though :D Wrong Turn type shit
@@markmonse1not at all brother,skeeter is a good down to earth man,and we need more people like him in the world maybe then it would start to become better!
Look like a beaver
Skeeter’s like ma paps … dude never minds language 😂 and I love him for that … watching from Ghana 🇬🇭
Skeeters in Ghana ! You sure you’re from Ghana ? 🤣
Yess sir!
Every couple months I thought about skeeter and how genuine he was. There are so few really wonderful people like that and there seems to be a few who are all friends. Goes to show good people find good people.
I love that you've never judged anyone else's lifestyle for those you've been around and invited us to see. That just shows who you truly are and for that sir, I thank you. Keep on keeping on!!!!! Finger lakes N.Y.
I'm so happy to see that Skeeter Ray is alive and still cheerful as ever. Amazing upload mike, Thank You!
Skeeter also reminds me of home 😂 love this man
Tell me about those rats
Skeeter my type of dawg
By just the phone call, Skeeter is the definition of Southern hospitality, brother would’ve let you in if you just showed up at the door honestly.
Skeeter is the most Louisiana man I've ever seen
i’m watching from africa , like this comment if you are a fellow african watching this 😌😄
hili from the usa
Hi from Albania!!
Nigeria here!!
How you get a phone
@@Fredmugenthey have phones in Africa
Thank you for this new video with Skeeter, it's a pleasure and happiness to see him. Love to both of you from France
Skeeter is a good man, the world needs more loving souls like him. I promise it would be a better place. Please bless Skeeter and do something really nice for him like renovate his home he deserve this life changing experience❤️
Gotta love Skeeter! This man deserves a show on its own!
As an european, this guy looks, lives and talks exactly how I'd imagine someone named "Skeeter Ray" would, what a legend.
@Fearless&far, Skeeter is a true national treasure and a living legend
Beers in the car is crazy content lol
😂
I wonder how long skeeter had to sit in his truck in the parking lot until he sobered up, until he could drive. 😂🎉
Normal down here. Drive through Daquiri shops too.
@@IgorMironov-rq4yeoh trust me they did not wait a single minute 😭
@@happymedium.Ya drive thru margaritas and daiquiri shops are common here in East Texas as well lol
I cried laughing when your beer foamed up and skeeter said "drink it" and didn't notice his beer was dripping until he did and said "oh shit"
Idk why people find this disgusting? These animals are called Nutria. They are herbivores and are healthy. Squirrels, Capybaras, Guinea Pig, Beavers & Prairie Dogs are also hunted by humans and they are rodents too. Y'all have never tried real southern food before 🤌🏽🔥 I'm from Cali, but when i went to Lafeyette the food was EVERYTHING
They haven't visited certain places and something always disgusting for them
@@melissaa3335shit I’m in south Louisiana also. An I’m not eating that shit. Now if I needed to for one reason are another. It’s definitely fair game.
one word Rabies
@@aiightbet4582 Small rodents (e.g., squirrels, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rats, and mice) and lagomorphs (rabbits and hares), whether wild or kept as pets, are rarely found to be infected with rabies and have not been known to transmit rabies to humans.
are you a Chinese then 😂😂😂am sorry for you
Love how they’re already roasting you before they say hi. 👋🏾 Skeeter for sure loves you. What a guy!! Lol 😂
I have alot going on in my life been in and out of surgery still in so much pain prayed to God for help..and watched this video and it really brought me some relief only if for 30mins thank you so much. Hope I will comment again saying I'm okay some time from now. Thank you
How ya doing man? Sending good vibes from Arkansas buddy 🤠
Uncle skeeeter is a true gem I’m so happy to see another video coming up with him !!! I to this day I think about the last one with him when he yelled unnnn unnhhhh don’t throw that in there like that then you had the most perplexed look on your face like you told me to put it in here. He said yea sat em in there 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I replayed that scene like 50 times and had the same deep belly laugh each time . Mannnn you gotta love the seasoned folks they are something else ❤️
I really appreciate the videos of Louisiana that have been coming out lately from content creators. This is one state that’s just so unique and usually isn’t the first place you think of when you think of content and KZhead but it’s such good content and good people and for once I’m starting to this shit hole i have lived in my whole life really isn’t that bad and when you get a view from the outside looking in, you gain a new appreciation for it. Thanks for appreciating this state, can’t wait to see the next one.
Skeeter is that one guy that will help you during zombie apocalypse, a side quest 😊
Thank you for the awesome video Mike 🫂 Love, South Africa
That was really interesting! Love Skeeter, what a great and amazing guy! I hope you'll visit him and do it again.
Skeeter is a legend.
Skeeter is amazing 😂😅😅❤such a happy young man and wonderful cook. Love from UK 🇬🇧
I love the Skeeter videos! I crack a beer and feel like I’m there with you guys man! Good shit Skeeter 🤙🏼
Now, I would be in heaven if I moved there. Real people, real living. Thank you for takin me along!
Awww it's looking good boy! That's all im gonna tell ya. That accent and the kindness in his voice, bless him.
Watching way from Compton, California. I truly enjoyed this ❤
Mike is living the life. So cool.
What’s with the 3 day wait 😂😂
I used to be a big fan. I still listen to your podcast "against the odds" and still watch your festival and abandon places vids, but I haven't been watching your new ones. The gross vids and tribe videos are getting old.
@@TerryPress What?! To whom did your comment refer?
@@Utsav_Viradiya the guy in the vid. Not u.
Lol I liked the three day wait. I hit the bell.
It's a psychological trick
Skeeter needs his own show and his own Beer Line!! Skeeter is the Man!!
Man i love this person so much wisdom of simple life
Mike, you really meet some amazing people, Skeeter is one of them💛
Cannot wait am so excited now 😊
"you ever have duckweed fights?" *Immediately starts throwing handfuls*
Dadgum! This reminds me of good ole family back home. I need to go visit them and just hangout like this.
Loved virtually meeting Skeeter Ray and the crew. Best regards from New Zealand.
What a group of characters!
these guys got some balls. after seeing the gator, no way id hop into that murky water
blessings from over here in Jamaica,thank you for another great video,I was waiting for (this)part two,keep up the great work
So happy you made another video with Skeeter Ray I love that guy !
That phone call was so wholesome
Watching from Ghana 🇬🇭 West Africa
Ur supporting drinking and driving, wow so disgusting
Most of my family lives in New Orleans and it’s awesome down there. Some of the most fun I’ve had in my life was there. Can’t wait to go back and visit. 😊
Thanks Mike from Australia. Love salt of the earth people No b.s. straight talking great video.
Branch trimmers = "Limb Loppers " to my dad 😂 this video is a good view of this life lol
Love from Malawi🇲🇼❤

On the outskirts of every city and town Of all skin color and creed their is a skeeter These are true men, most war vets . . . They carry their scars deep They have been left behind by their country They need our help (most are proud) They are a library of knowledge and life experience Find one and help . . . Love more please
You guys always crack me up with your terms on things
He is such a good friend with solid banter. Namaste uncle Skeeter.
This is the definition of uncle bob.. love him 🙏🙏
Such a beautiful mindset to have ❤❤
Cool! You never fail to amaze us with your adventures. You are all great! Keep it up!
That's what this country is all about. Good times and good people. I want to move to Louisiana. That's where the true Americans live. Fuck all the other bullshit. Simple life and damn good people. This country needs to get back to that way of living
Says 97 views with 201 likes 🤔
Views only count if enough of the video is played
@@Wabi-Sabi-Works that's silly
If he was to use the New Vertical lives, each person who comes into live chat, is counted as 1 view, tiktok mixed with KZhead shorts,
Love your channel man, its always unique content. I wish to live an adventurous life like you and your crew. Cheers !!!
This was wholesome as possible 🤍
3 day premier is too early
Its to long yeah! Should be maximum of 2 days, and minimum half a day.
Agree...
Minimum of half a day?
No more like minimum of 5 mins I think it should be
@@Felix-Memoria. ??
3 day premier?
Love from Australia ❤❤❤ LOVE Skeeter Ray
"I love these adventures that unfold..." 👍👍
shrek approves
The swamp 🐀 rats will be spawning. I make a mean weed rat stew. Shrek is the best cartoon of all time.
Omg a rat should never get that big. I would straight poop my pants if I saw one of those in real life.
😂😂😂
It is rabbit 🐰 not rat
@@treasureclement3877 umm rabbits don't have tails like that. And rabbits are cute and fluffy.
Here in the philippines we also eat rat 😂 in rice fields
Skeeter is a treasure ! my first video i've watched of yours was meeting skeeter lol . might go rewatch that
Love these videos!! Skeeter is amazing!!
i think these guys might be from shrek

What a video. Incredible. I love this type of stuff.
Love that ole boy, great person, funny, kind and generous

I love the guy came through and show his toy’s ❤❤❤
Louisiana people are built different. Some of the best most interesting people I’ve met have been in and from Louisiana!!!! ❤❤❤
Man, a complete different world from the fast life of NYC. Skeeter looks super cool...just wonder if he'd be as welcoming to a cool brother brother.
Hi from Denmark, just finished Peter Santanellos series on Louisiana and the deep south and then then I see you have a video from Louisiana, hot damn, I was happy, a cup of coffee and a video from you does not get any better than this, and now I know - low and slow - hahahaha, have the best day!
I remember duckweed so thick I couldn't get my lure to go in the water back when I was a kid. I miss Louisiana and Mississippi; Thanks for this, man. I felt like I was a couple of hours from home when I saw this.
Protect skeeter with all you got. That's a true friend right there. I want to retire to this kind of life.
I enjoyed this a lot, keep the great content coming. 🤝💯
I'm watching from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬. Love the channel and the experience you share with us❤️
I am watching from France! Have a great life Skeeter thanks for your good mood
Cook with oregano, potatoes and onions for several hours, then add some catchup and pepper sauce, and swamp rats tastes just like chicken.😋😛
Y’all feed my soul and make it dance like it hasn’t in a long time❤
