Field Days has been sent out to bring home dinner, but his young daughter Misha gets a job of her own: filming Dad with a small handheld camera. Her footage even gets its own on-screen label, "MISHA CAM".
The title, "If I Don't Catch Food, My Family Doesn't Eat - Cooking on Fire", sets up a family fishing challenge, rather than a story of going hungry. The outing begins with him waking in a hammock aboard his boat at sunrise, then heading towards an offshore island to fish the incoming tide.
A Spanish mackerel takes his surface lure and ends up on ice for the evening cookout. Then the weather changes the itinerary. With a strong southerly forecast, he abandons plans for the outer reef and returns through rough water.
The mangroves offer a more sheltered setting for the next part: walking through the shallows with Misha, a bow and arrow, and that little camera. They spot sea snakes hunting along the bottom and a shovel-nosed ray nearby as he attempts shots at mullet.
Solo survival is a familiar part of Field Days: his most-watched regular upload follows an island stay with only a pocket knife. Here, the different detail is having someone along to ask for a photograph. "When you see Daddy shoot a fish, you'll photo me?" he asks Misha. "That is so good, thank you, baby."
