Just wanted to say, out of all the survivalists I've watched on UA-cam, you are on a higher level than all the rest because you start with NOTHING! The others say buy this and buy that....but you teach us how to do it with what the creator gave us! Thank you!
Hi Chad, I'm from Poland. I am a woman and experienced and I lived in a cave in the Pyrenees in France for three months. In my opinion, it was hidden in our ancestors. I have a lot of takeaways on consumer applications and things that are emerging and ideas and solutions. Contact with ancestral spirits takes place in silence and solitude. The receiver is the best solution. Greetings from Poland ❤
Yeah, contrary to popular belief, sterilizing literally everything is in fact not good for tmyou immune system nor its development. Being exposed to things is how you build antibodies and why children that tend to roll in the mud and eat random things never seem to get sick as often as children that live in a highly sterilized environment. Here and there for safety is ok, but going overboard is detrimental in the long term.
Thank you Chad for doing what you're doing and showing us how to do it too! For everybody who is watching and wishes they could do something similar - you can! Sure you won't be able to fire pottery in your local park, but you can weave baskets, weave rope, learn the basics of starting a fire using fire sticks and so forth. I have personally done those things either in the park or on my balcony in the middle of the big city. This is a way to fight stress like no other.
Chad, legend! this makes me feel humble, just like the Henry David Thoreau quote in the beginning of this episode. as a kid, i made hand-woven doilies and baskets of grass/reeds and a jug with clay. by watching your videos is slowly start to remember my love for these natural basics and manual labor.
Nice. You should relive your childhood and let the creativity flow. Make baskets and pottery again. You know it’s in you. It’s your job to release that creativity.
If you are reading this, I want to tell you that everything will be fine. You are incredible, you are unique, you can face anything in your life, you have the strength within yourself to overcome any obstacle, loss or situation. You are not alone, you are loved, you have the right to feel bad and good, you have the right to feel. Be blessed by these positive vibes and live your life to the fullest. I am sending my love to the universe so that I can reach you.❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you my dear friend. Your words indeed inspire and motivate me. I really appreciate it. A new fishing video is being edited now. I hope you will enjoy it. God bless you!

Amazing talent you''ve got )) and the quote from Thoreau is a gem to contemplate. When troubles come those who use their own hands will have the advantage. Blessings always Chad ))
Chad, apart from the charcoal (the best filter) you can crash clay and small stones which filter different ingredients and are used as protection at disposal sites. If you repeat the filtration the water quality will be surprisingly high.
Hello Chad I just watched one of the previous videos you uploaded about prickly pears you may not believe me but I live in a remote village in Northern Greece my house is in 700 Meters elevation and I found one single prickly pear cactus in the forest and still had fruit on, I cleaned and ate them they way you showed and there were delicious I still don't know how it survived up here😅.
@@ChadZuberAdventures yes the climate is dry here throughout the whole year I just couldn't believe a plant from The Americas to be found here in Northern Greece.

You might consider making a few water storage amphorae, that you can fill up with purified water for the dry summer months. Might save you from having to head to the river when the spring dries up. Can fill them while the spring is full, purify them and then when a couple are empty in the summer, maybe haul them to fill them from the river with a shoulder yoke.

@@ChadZuberAdventures I think you do great things. I feel humans need that time to reflect. As you move around hunting and gathering it gives you a lot of time to reflect on things in life. Really brings you to your roots. Thanks for all your hard work.
Maravilloso todo lo que haces,tu cerámica,tu habilidad manual,me encantó ese filtro primitivo quedó muy bien y cumple con sacar impurezas del agua,lindas las plantas de zapallo dando frutos. Me fascina tu mundo primitivo felicitaciones. 💪💪
I'm from Indonesia. This content is really very interesting. very united with nature without the help of modern tools. only rely on natural products. keep up the enthusiasm for video content creators..
Another great vid and a very educational one too. Cheers man! Just one thing, its probably just the camera angle but that sequence where you were baking the clay pieces, your hair and those huge flames got me worried. Anyways that water looks clear as crystal, I'd drink that over the stuff we have here in plastic bottles any day.
As ever, that was just beautiful to watch. I'm in awe of your control of lighting and composition and editing of scenes. The other thing that struck me is that over the years, the things you make are moving onwards from strict utilitarianism into being beautiful objects in themselves. Gorgeous.
Chad, I think at someone you should start experimenting with iron, I am sure with so many rocky places you can find enough minerals to smelt iron. Maybe should ask around and try out, once you start I am sure many viewers with more knowledge will be able to help you out as well. Honestly I am very excited for you to start doing because to be able to make knife, axe and even a spade would open so many options for thing you could do like a well to have enough water to farm properly. Anyway Love your content as always
Idk if this something you've thought of already but have you considered making any kind of paint out of the stuff there? That prickly pear last episode had such a great color left behind and with all the pottery you've been making maybe putting a bit of color on some of them will be a good way to pass time and spruce up your hut. Maybe you could even use it to dye your cordage so it's more visible and also just because color variety is nice.
@@ChadZuberAdventures charcoal perhaps? I believe tempura paints use egg but I don't know how well it keeps or its other ingredients... Also various beetle carapaces have been an ingredient for many paints so there's that. Maybe mixing with tree sap would help the paint stay better idk I'm spitballing.
Have you considered cleaning out and enclosing the spring in bricks, (especially with the porous pottery that you made for watering you garden) to keep it clean, or maybe even deepen it to hold more water? Perhaps lining a deep hole like your clay pit, in the more water tight clay and firing it to make a tank or cistern next to your camp to capture water during the rainy season?
I love ur videos in a more scientific approach. I grew up in the jungle in Mex and remember drinking w my people water straight from wells or creeks. Many challenges but beatiful n clean life. Many dont even know how to process meat n leave it out of the fridge!
In place of boiling you could add a small amount of alcohol or vinegar? Also the gladiators used to drink wood ash water, this video made me think of that! They used it as an energy drink, sometimes mixing vinegar in with it as well i assume to lower the PH of the ash water? But something I would def take advantage of during an apocalyptic scenario. There is also high amounts of Boron in the wood ash which counteracts the effects of chemical F if the waters in the area are high F
This comment got my attention because I am an avid Ark Survival Evolved player. Chad you do look very much like some of the characters people make in that game. Loved seeing the OP comment, made my day. Lol 😆
I can see why some want to return to nature and leave this complicated world of technology behind, I like the simpler life and nature too. Can you make clay tablets and show us how to write on them?
you can use flower petals to make dye/paint you just mortar and pestle flower petals to make a paint that you can decorate your pottery with after it cools down once you fire it.
This is the greatest Idea ever and with water becoming more valuable than ever before, haha, this would help anyone to have a better chance at survival! I had this Idea, but instead of a pottery funnel, I was thinking of using an organic temper in my clay to burn off and make the clay vessel into a filter as well! Clay itself actually helps purify water do to its anti-fungal and anti-microbial functions.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I am going to try it with sawdust temper in the clay, and I will most likely use a larger pot as well! Thanks for the great video, Sir!
Excuse me mister Chad, but I was wondering have u ever thought of making some type of big box or chest of some kind to hold your valuables ,I know u use some thing simaler but I think u might need a big one before long to hold more stuff,is that possible for the future maybe. Sincerely Jay from Oklahoma
Consider “paddling” your clay items. Using a small flat stick,about the size of a paint stirring stick. Lightly tapping over the outside surfaces (damp clay) you will smooth the lumpyness and compact the clay increasing its strength driving out air. An old potter from the San Il Defonso pueblo showed me this technique many years ago.
it's probably safer then city water :) I'd drink it after filtering it. I've drank plenty of wild water without boiling it and never gotten sick from it neither. of course one must consider the source some water i wouldn't drink if filter and boiled. the more germs you take in the more antibodies one makes that in and of it's self strengthens the immune system. loved watching the filtering vessel very cool. Do you think about making some oya pots for your garden?
@@ChadZuberAdventures that's awesome hope to see you possibly make some in the future, thank you for your reply :) ♥much love♥ Ps maybe you and Andy could do a special video together one day. wishful thinking lol
33:20 I believe, one should wash the sand and gravel under flowing water (river) first, then add to the filter. Can be done after adding too but coal might temporarily retain some for longer release. The best could be washing thoroughly first and to wash short - after. From time to time one can burn the filter in fire for some time to disinfect it and use it again ;)
What does your firewood situation look like? Seems like there is ample dead wood all around and nearby to last basically indefinitely, given burning in moderation.
this is a real QOL upgrade! , i have 2 questions, 1 why not carve a wooden shovel? if you find the appropriate wood that is, and secondly, is there a native tuber that you can try to find and plant for yourself? no reason in particular, just curious, very well done video as always!
to be fair, for the small things done in this vid, a simple digging stick is much cheaper labor-wise and achieves the same. Maybe to dig trenches or bigger holes.
You need a large and thick piece of wood to carve a shovel. Do you know how long it would take? A really long time. I strong stick is more realistic. It gets the job done. To invest many days in carving a large enough wooden shovel it would only make sense of that shovel would be used very frequently and it would only work for light duties. A wooden shovel wouldn’t work like a steel shovel to dig earth like that which is here….. I showed a wild tuber in a video a few months ago. Maybe you didn’t see it.
Hey Chad, i absolutely love your videos and I was asking my self if you carry any type of first aid or extinguisher. Thank you so much for sharing your survival knowledge with us and have a good day!
I've been trying to find a video on how to make wire in the wild. Like metal wire. I don't suppose it matters what kind of metal too much. It would be very useful. Something to make a sieve out of it. Metal sieves and cloth sieves. Very useful. How to make Wire Mesh in the Wild? It also might help to have that attached to your water container that you pour water out of. Could catch some mosquito eggs and keep them out of your water filter.
Down here in Brazil we are used to clay filters, but they filter with a ceramic cilinder filled with activated charcoal not only it removes chloro from the water served from the companies but it also kinda cool it its not cool like from modern fridges but its like grabbins some from a well
amazing as always mr chad! since u got the filter water and boiled, would u consider to make coffee with ur style?(primitive style or whatever do u like)
Very random question... I found while camping that I tend to find a nice stick to use as my main fire poking stick to adjust logs as needed. Do you have poker stick that's been your go to for a while or do you just use whatever is next to be thrown in?
Why did you puncture the cone? I'm pretty sure air dried or fired, primitive clay is porous enough to act as a very good water filter. It may not remove off flavors the way coal filtration will, nor be as fast, but ceramic water filters are common kit for backpackers.
@@ChadZuberAdventures My 7 budgiregars say hi back. Thx Chad. They chirp actually back. My cockateil became too dependent on me so I took it back to 'parrots for purpose'. But my budgies which are my companion for about 14 months now say hello and are very independent.
If you ever get a snail problem in your garden, you can use ash, it doesn't hurt the plants and it deters snails. I don't know the exact science behind it, but I believe it's because ash has a high ph value and snail slime they produce to move around is lower in ph value.
Last year my Brita pitcher melted after my wife set it down on the front burner of our electric stove. I forgot to turn it off after I cooked eggs and she didn’t realize it was still hot. The whole thing burnt, melted, and warped and we ended up throwing it into the sink and running it under water. I eventually ground the blender into dust and essentially used it the same way you did here.
@@ChadZuberAdventures my grandparents live on a mountain and before they had a well. they had to get water from the creek and filter it. we used charcoal filters that the rancher down the road helped us make. they worked well. it was a fun time.
But is it even nessecary to filter the water if you boil it anyway afterwards? (considering there's no wasp in it or something, of course) Is it not as safe to drink, if you just boil it?
I have two question for you, firstly, why not make a stick hoe and make the spring deeper, at the very least it would be a cool asmr project not unlike Japanese stone gardening, to make it cleaner or more available at the source, secondly would you make heavy duty Mitton gloves from deer skin to help when transferring rough or heavy materials as this would mitigate the negative and damaging effect on your hands
I often use my loincloth to carry or handle sushi or hot objects. I do plan to dig the water hole deeper but not when it had water in it. I actually already had dug it a little deeper. Don’t need to make a hoe for it. A stick works fine.
@@ChadZuberAdventures it also helps to friends to also learn and teach you hands on .besides reading great show it's appreciated.what part of desert California looks like it dates Psalms.thanks for sharing it's appreciated.
I use osmotic water purification using a tree canopy. It would be good to use a metaguayan tree or a light tree. I found out that it also filters bacteria and bacteria.

Chad's reversal: not Chad become sick because of micro-organisms, but micro-organisms become sick because of Chad
I have to admit that my immune system is much stronger than it used to be.
Yeah, contrary to popular belief, sterilizing literally everything is in fact not good for tmyou immune system nor its development.

Yeah I think you’re right …. I made some small olla pots for my garden but I obviously will be much larger ones.
@@ChadZuberAdventures that's awesome hope to see you possibly make some in the future, thank you for your reply :) ♥much love♥
Ps maybe you and Andy could do a special video together one day. wishful thinking lol
Actually we are planning to do a collab soon.
33:20 I believe, one should wash the sand and gravel under flowing water (river) first, then add to the filter. Can be done after adding too but coal might temporarily retain some for longer release. The best could be washing thoroughly first and to wash short - after. From time to time one can burn the filter in fire for some time to disinfect it and use it again ;)
Yes, you’re exactly right and I actually did wash the contents after initially making it but I didn’t film that part. Thanks for your comment.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Thought so from what was shown :). Wanted to mention for the readers too.
This is the stuff I like to see!
Aqueduct and metal in coming... 😄
What does your firewood situation look like? Seems like there is ample dead wood all around and nearby to last basically indefinitely, given burning in moderation.
I can burn wood forever. There is literally tons of dry wood in this area.
@@ChadZuberAdventures mmmmmm ❤
Boa noite chad amei esse vídeo porque você não faz um pote maior pra armazenar mais água
Muito obrigado
Me encanta sus vídeos saludo amigo desde España Isla 🙏🏻 ❤
this is a real QOL upgrade! , i have 2 questions, 1 why not carve a wooden shovel? if you find the appropriate wood that is, and secondly, is there a native tuber that you can try to find and plant for yourself? no reason in particular, just curious, very well done video as always!
to be fair, for the small things done in this vid, a simple digging stick is much cheaper labor-wise and achieves the same. Maybe to dig trenches or bigger holes.
You need a large and thick piece of wood to carve a shovel. Do you know how long it would take? A really long time. I strong stick is more realistic. It gets the job done. To invest many days in carving a large enough wooden shovel it would only make sense of that shovel would be used very frequently and it would only work for light duties. A wooden shovel wouldn’t work like a steel shovel to dig earth like that which is here….. I showed a wild tuber in a video a few months ago. Maybe you didn’t see it.
Hey Chad, i absolutely love your videos and I was asking my self if you carry any type of first aid or extinguisher. Thank you so much for sharing your survival knowledge with us and have a good day!
Thank you for watching.
I've been trying to find a video on how to make wire in the wild. Like metal wire. I don't suppose it matters what kind of metal too much. It would be very useful. Something to make a sieve out of it. Metal sieves and cloth sieves. Very useful. How to make Wire Mesh in the Wild? It also might help to have that attached to your water container that you pour water out of. Could catch some mosquito eggs and keep them out of your water filter.
That would be extremely challenging to make
Down here in Brazil we are used to clay filters, but they filter with a ceramic cilinder filled with activated charcoal
not only it removes chloro from the water served from the companies but it also kinda cool it
its not cool like from modern fridges but its like grabbins some from a well
That’s nice. Thanks for sharing.
What's a good natural fungicide/antiseptic you know of aside from lemon for making unboiled water drinkable?
Fermentation with fruit
amazing as always mr chad! since u got the filter water and boiled, would u consider to make coffee with ur style?(primitive style or whatever do u like)
I don't drink coffee so no
Very random question...
I found while camping that I tend to find a nice stick to use as my main fire poking stick to adjust logs as needed.
Do you have poker stick that's been your go to for a while or do you just use whatever is next to be thrown in?
I just use a good stick in my wood pile
Do you think the tiles will be strong enough to stand on etc
I don’t know yet. I will try and find out.
congratulations I really admire your work I hope that from now on I have learned from now on I learned a few things just watching your video are d+
That’s good. Thanks for watching and keep learning.
Este cará e sensacional tem que tirar chapéu
Where did you learn your survival skills? Very impressed
From books, videos, and experience
Why did you puncture the cone? I'm pretty sure air dried or fired, primitive clay is porous enough to act as a very good water filter. It may not remove off flavors the way coal filtration will, nor be as fast, but ceramic water filters are common kit for backpackers.
It would take forever to produce enough water to drink.
I would total live this lifestyle for a part of my life. Would totally humble a person
My cockateil companion parrot loves your work and watching your videos.
Tell your parrot hi
@@ChadZuberAdventures My 7 budgiregars say hi back. Thx Chad. They chirp actually back. My cockateil became too dependent on me so I took it back to 'parrots for purpose'. But my budgies which are my companion for about 14 months now say hello and are very independent.
very happy watch movie👍🏻✨🌺
If you ever get a snail problem in your garden, you can use ash, it doesn't hurt the plants and it deters snails. I don't know the exact science behind it, but I believe it's because ash has a high ph value and snail slime they produce to move around is lower in ph value.
Snails couldn’t survive this climate
Greetings From UK Britain. Mr. Chad.
Greetings mate!
This is impressive work. I myself am very fascinated by all manner of primitive technology. Thank you for being an informant, and an inspiration!
Thanks for watcing.
Ilove to see your video every time 🤗❤️
Thanks
Awesome video new subscriber here from phoenix az
Welcome!!
Last year my Brita pitcher melted after my wife set it down on the front burner of our electric stove. I forgot to turn it off after I cooked eggs and she didn’t realize it was still hot. The whole thing burnt, melted, and warped and we ended up throwing it into the sink and running it under water. I eventually ground the blender into dust and essentially used it the same way you did here.
Wow! Now that’s what I call recycling
Could you use the powdered charcoal to color your clay pots a darker color?
I don’t think so. There is another technique to make pots black.
Will it be possible to make another funnel with a closed tip and make it a drip filter?
Yeah
@@ChadZuberAdventures Sir Chad, I really want to see it in action.
Do you have any first aid survival videos like if you would get a cut, are there any plants out there you would use for medical purposes?
Yes, there are plants that would work for that but I haven’t made videos of it yet.
@@ChadZuberAdventures awesome can’t wait
oh this is a good one. everyone needs water and everyone can use this info.
A few people can use this info. 99.9% of people get their water from tap and bottles.
@@ChadZuberAdventures my grandparents live on a mountain and before they had a well. they had to get water from the creek and filter it. we used charcoal filters that the rancher down the road helped us make. they worked well. it was a fun time.
But is it even nessecary to filter the water if you boil it anyway afterwards? (considering there's no wasp in it or something, of course) Is it not as safe to drink, if you just boil it?
PS: So many things in one video, great one, thank you Chad :)
Yeah you can just boil it but you may be drinking leaves, sediment, and insect parts too.
Me encantó que mostrase la huerta, va muy bien
I have two question for you, firstly, why not make a stick hoe and make the spring deeper, at the very least it would be a cool asmr project not unlike Japanese stone gardening, to make it cleaner or more available at the source, secondly would you make heavy duty Mitton gloves from deer skin to help when transferring rough or heavy materials as this would mitigate the negative and damaging effect on your hands
I often use my loincloth to carry or handle sushi or hot objects. I do plan to dig the water hole deeper but not when it had water in it. I actually already had dug it a little deeper. Don’t need to make a hoe for it. A stick works fine.
@@ChadZuberAdventures what about a stick attached to a stick, a stick stick :)
Or a tri-stick
Muy bueno saludo abrazo de Argentina ❤❤
Great show thank you it's appreciated.i learned alot from Apache freind i had growing up .im am native American.
I learn a lot from books about Native American culture.
@@ChadZuberAdventures it also helps to friends to also learn and teach you hands on .besides reading great show it's appreciated.what part of desert California looks like it dates Psalms.thanks for sharing it's appreciated.
Yeah I like sharing with other people too but that rarely happens. Those are fan palms.
You're the Coolist! 👍👍
How in the world did that fire manage to fire those three pieces? How long did you heat them for?
I think I showed you in the video. They cooked for about 45 minutes.
I use osmotic water purification using a tree canopy. It would be good to use a metaguayan tree or a light tree. I found out that it also filters bacteria and bacteria.
Excellent
Awesome video. Exactly what I needed! Cheers Chad!
Cheers!
