Primitive Seagrass Weaving & Sea Lion Encounter

  • The sea provides an abundance of food and useful materials for primitive survival. Did you know that seagrass can be used to make cordage, mats and other items? The sea is also home to completely different creatures such as sea lions. I wonder what this sea lion was thinking when it saw me.

    This is genius. I would never thought that the seagrass could be used as alternative of cordage material. That's aslo cool small fact that there was shown the aprox. amount of time to dry the seagrass enough to still be strong, not enough to make it less durable. Thanks for that information.

    • @ChadZuberAdventures
      @ChadZuberAdventures  6 місяців тому +7

      I first learned of this at a museum that had a native seagrass mat on display. Years later while combing a rocky shore I saw the surfgrass and remembered the mat I saw in the museum and I started experimenting.

    I know it would be a bad idea but even just watching the video I want to go swim with that Sea Lion. Probably get bit but it's so sweet looking. Maybe try and throw it the Coconut and play from a distance. My Grandpah threw a curious Dolphin a Conch shell from the boat once and it kept bringing it back for about an hour. It did the same thing as the Sea Lion, came up and kept staring at him. He threw the shell and a couple minutes later it brought it up and threw it in the boat. Then the games began until it got bored. Just another thought, where there are Sea Lions there are generally BIG sharks!

    • @ChadZuberAdventures
      @ChadZuberAdventures  6 місяців тому +2

      I've swam with sea lions many times. It is very rare that they attack a human. I think humans are more likely to attack another human. Like dolphin they can also be playful.

    ... this makes me melt back into all the time spent swimming in waves in the late afternoon, sometimes holding on to sea grass when i went under a wave a little late ~
    My friend and i would swim around sunset time so we could see the sky colors from under water.. back then ( 80's ) our beach felt remote, wide open and all to ourselves in the early morning and evening. Sea grass ( surf grass to be sure ) is quite a dear plant ; a part of the beauty of that life when the swimming in the waves for hours each day ( as well as a level of intimacy with all the natural aspects of that place ) was business as usual well into my teens..
    Always, the level of well being measured in terms of connection with place..
    and that connection >> interacting with the life of the place..
    Words don't suffice; which also >>> appreciation for your videos for no offensive 'noise' .. thankyou dearly.
    🌿🌊☺️
    Also >> for me, no peace greater than when making cordage. Weaving is truly a universal way of healing oneself.
    gratitude for your videos.

      What a beautiful memory. I can totally feel the experience through your words. I always love watching the pulse of the ocean as the waves pass over the reef creating the ebb and flow effect of the surf grass waving back and forth. Time seems to pass at half speed underwater. All movement is smooth flowing. The ocean environment is one that I’ve loved since childhood.

    Hi Chad, have you tried a primitive survival challenge in Hawai’i? The forests are so thick with plants (most are invasive). There are invasive giant African snails and boars which can be hunted and eaten for food. The wild chickens are not safe to eat however according to the locals. You would have to be careful of snare traps and the Amazonian centipede scolopendra but it would make an interesting challenge.

    • @ChadZuberAdventures

    Any herb contains a lot of pulp and few cords. You need to stretch it like you do. Then, it is necessary to boil it in an ash solution for 1 hour. Comb out the pulp. Or put fresh yucca to rot for 2-3 weeks in a damp place . Then dry it. And tap out the pulp. Then the rope will be thin and strong. watch some videos on how to make a nettle rope.

    • @ChadZuberAdventures
      @ChadZuberAdventures  6 місяців тому

      I can roll this material into cordage on my thigh but I chose to twist it with my fingers because I can make it tighter by twisting with the fingers. This material is a little spongy. It's very different from yucca fibers which are rigid and firm. When I roll surfgrass on my thigh the end product is softer and spongier.
