New Primitive Shelter and Friction Fire (episode 04)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2021
- I am very close to finding the ideal place to establish my new hut. My primitive tools have been useful for basic necessities and I’ve found several good natural resources along the way. Today in this video I move my camp to a better location and make a primitive shelter. While digging I find that the earth is hard with clay and I start to think about making mud bricks. Then my patience is tested as I struggle to make a friction fire which is so important in order for me to stay warm through the night. This series will be ongoing so be sure to stay tuned for the next video.

Location: Parts Unknown
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Who films you?
Me. I travel alone, shoot, edit, upload, everything, all alone. On a few occasions I may be accompanied by a friend.
How many cameras do you use?
Usually I use just one camera. When I have underwater scenes then I also use a GoPro camera. I get different angles by moving the camera around and repeating the action to create a more cinematic viewing experience for the audience.
Where is this place?
In order to protect the integrity of the natural landscape I prefer to be very vague about the locations I use. There are places that I used to visit that were so beautiful and untouched but the consequences of social media brought all kinds of people to visit and sadly some people do not respect nature and have badly damaged these places. Therefore I do not share locations.
Where did you get your sandals?
I first started wearing sandals on outdoor adventures in February 2014. I’m so glad that I did because wearing these Luna Sandals has really helped strengthen my feet. You can see their selection of adventure and running sandals at this link: www.lunasandals.com/?rfsn=102...

Do you workout?
Yes, I workout, but not in a gym. I have some weights that I use and also do a lot of bodyweight exercises. I also run and sometimes swim. I hike frequently to collect wild foods and to shoot these videos so I'm very active all the time.
Are you vegan or vegetarian?
I wish I could maintain my health on a primal diet that does not include animals but unfortunately that did not work well and I ended up with health problems as a result of those attempts. From my studies, observations of nature, and personal experience I have come to believe that the best diet for optimal human health is a primal diet (paleo).
Do you get lonely when you’re alone?
No, I don’t get lonely. I’m actually so busy shooting video, taking photos and doing so many other things like making cordage, cooking, weaving, etc. that I really don’t have time to think about my lonely condition. Sometimes when something profound happens on an adventure I can’t wait to share it with people, but other than that I do not get lonely.
How many languages do you speak?
My first language is English but I also speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese. I also speak very little Russian. I may soon begin learning more languages.
How old are you?
I was born in 1972. At the time of this video I was 48.
Where did you get the music in your videos?
This series is the first one that I am making all the music myself. I recently made a drum and maracas (rumba shaker). I am now using them to create the intro and ending music in my videos, but before in the past I have used royalty free music from several sources including UA-cam. Sometimes I bought the music but usually it was free. - Навчання та стиль
This man's content is better than any Netflix series. He deserves more subs.
True
So true!
@Richard Manfield Yeah but based on the quality of his content he derserves way more.
Yes 😀
@netflix give this men, a own serie on netflix.
The juniper tree your collecting making such satisfying snaps and cracks, I love it.
It really burns well too.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I'm sure it does
Here in Oregon there is a Juniper over 1600 years old.
@@littlebiscuits really? I'm love to see that.

many people find happiness in many things but when watching your content makes it seem as though the less you have the happier you are
To a certain point, yes. Less is more... The problem with material possessions is that they require our attention, they require management. If your house is big and full of belongings then it requires more cleaning and organizing. One thing I always disliked was organizing stuff that I didn't even need. That's when "stuff" takes over your time, and your time is your life. If your only possessions are things that are truly useful to you then you will find that you have much more free time to do the things you want and the things that are truly important.
These are ideas deep in human psyche and philosophically based as well. More is less and less is more. As Tyler Durden says in fight club.... The things you own end up owning you. Only until you lose everything is when you'll be free to do anything.
So true. We live in an old house. It isn't aesthetically pleasing but not an eyesore. We live off the grid. I line dry all our clothes. They last longer that way. I go through our stuff once a year and if we haven't worn or used it, it gets given away.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I'm alone please help me.
@@ytsrebgxhtrt233 what's he supposed to even do?
The UA-cam algorithm is sometimes very deep, didn't even know I could enjoy those kind of videos. However it is a good vibe in it, all against the mostly fast and energetic life we use to have. Greetings from Germany and stay safe!
Hallo
Gute Unterhaltung während der Pandemie
Wichtig!
This is the primitive life. You will find it a lot in India.
I used to teach wilderness survival in the Sonoran Desert and I just relived every frustrating fire-making failure while watching this video. I was dying! I’m so glad he includes the struggle. There are few things more frustrating than not being able to start fire after you’ve done it a thousand times. This series is so good!
Yes, I was so frustrated because I had previously done it with less effort. Hahaha, but it's good to be humbled by nature.
@@ChadZuberAdventures It sure is. I know how hard you worked for that fire and how sweet the reward is. Awesome, man! I love it!
For an April Fools day episode, I'd love it if he tried doing this series in a Suburb or city
I've thought of doing that. It would be really interesting.
That would be awesome!
Until I am proven wrong I'm going to chose to believe that Chad's origin story is that a mad scientist traveled back in time and taught the most handsome caveman they could find how to make UA-cam vids.
👍👍👍
Good morning idol and I love you
Hahahaha that's funny!
I believe that that caveman choose to teach us and some of us don’t have to be crazy to enjoy
steins;gate?
I can't wait to watch. These videos fill my soul.
I'm so happy to read this. Thank you!
Aaron Fu maybe your since you may not have many skills to survive, but Chad is a big disappointment to me.
Don’t get me wrong, he got a few skills above average person, but I can put him in my back pocket anytime, ( except the way he make pots and everything from clay). Otherwise he just takes advantage of ignorant people and the fact that UA-cam pays him good money which he can use for his retirement.
@@ChadZuberAdventures but can you read and respond to some constructive criticism????
@@peaceforall1291 He's just minding his own business. What's he gonna do? Tell UA-cam to stop any money from getting to him?
Noticed it's past my bed time
Noticed Chad Zuber uploaded a video
edit: I went to bed
Good night!
This is a fantastic series. Captivating to watch. It is almost as if I was watching through a portal, back in time.
That's exactly my intention. Thank you!
THE OBLIQUES OF ZEUS MY GOSH
Oh boy, ive been patiently waiting for this video. Lots of content on UA-cam nowadays is very high energy and these videos match the chill that im going for. Love you Chad!
This one is really a chill relaxing video for sure.
this is so true
Good morning idol and I love you
@@ChadZuberAdventures chill? I almost had a panic attack when u couldn’t get the fire lol 😂.
The scenery in my uncle's country is very beautiful👍
It really is!
@@ChadZuberAdventures Yes, it's amazing
Most of humanity takes for granted how quick, and easy fire has been available to them through out there life's! A lot of us outdoorsman, hunting, an fishing types understand how hard fire can be to come bye! Things seem to slow way down in the wilderness! Being one with Earth, an nature is truly one of the best feeling's a human can have! Absolutely adore the place your videos take my mind, an spirit!
You are absolutely right about that. A match, lighter, or even a ferro rod can make fire seem to be an easy achievement. It's easy to take for granted the skills that native people's had. I'm really enjoying this journey and the landscape makes it that much better.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Amen brother!!! Stay strong! Make sure your fillin that belly, and gettin your vitamin C;)
Oh yeah, I heard that manzanita fruit is really high in vitamin C
I was about to go to sleep, but nope watching episode 4 first
Thanks!
There was a moment where you were breaking down wood for the lean-to, and reached down for a rock, and seeing your traps astonished me. Truly the real Tarzan.
Haha, really?
انت تستحق المشاهدة اتمنى لك التوفيق الشعب المغربي يحب الشعب الأمريكي كثيرا
I shared this to my gf to show how interesting your survival skills are and all she looked at were your muscles lol.
"Primal tendencies"
Every woman's dream to be held like this 21:01
Honestly what were you expecting? 🤣
It is a myth that men are 'visual creatures' and women aren't. The myth is mainly designed to make insecure dudes feel better tbh.😄
@@jordanallen3078 true
you should break up buddy, looks like your gf would cheat on you if she had the opportunity
When I first learned the hand drill fire I used yucca stalks as the spindle and hearth board I had collected during a trip in Colorado, I noticed that I had a hard time creating producing embers with a spindle I had used before, I soon realized it was because the end of the spindle was charred during previous attempts the heat produced during the drilling process exposes the top of the spindle to heat that hardens it making it difficult since a low density softwood is the only viable option, for me simply scraping away the charred end on a rock to reveal a new soft spindle tip helped tremendously, not sure if this tip will help but i found it to be very useful
Yes, I scraped the tip a few times on a rock during the video. That is a good tip that should be emphasized. Thank you.
That seems really crucial. After he scrapes the stick on the rock, it still makes a really creaky sound. I think he didn't scrape enough, or rather on the right rock either. The rocks behind look much more abrasive and would remove more charred stick. Seen at 15:27
super mind benging hrt breaking
These videos help so much with anxiety. Modern society/ life is just so stressful

Greetings to everyone from Turkey 😊 We love you so much Chad Zuber ❤
Thank you so much and greetings to you!
@Hasan Tınaz Türkish Language kardeşim :)
Patience finally paid out. This is so satisfying to watch. Simple life. Without worries. You live with what nature provided for you.
Haha good one
Hi from Russia, wonderful guy. You helped me during my depression a lot. I will always be greatful for that. Really, you are awesome.
Thank you so much! I wish you much health and peace. God bless you!
Primitive Chad can speak! He must be a wizard!
Chad, you're a year older than me. I love how you make things from the simple things around you x please keep making more of these fantastic videos, I appreciate the time and effort you go to, to produce them x
Congratulations! We are almost half a century! I've got lots more videos to make at this location. I'm editing another one now. Thank you!
@@ChadZuberAdventures - I know, and I really don't feel nearly half a century old believe me!! How hard is editing the videos??

Каждое твоё видео очень интересное. Спасибо.
Ага он прочел
Im surprised when your fire didnt work the first time, you didnt swear. That seems very frustrating, and I've probably would've let a little swear out. Im glad you have self control!
first it was yucca, now it's juniper
i wonder what Chad's next plant product-placement will be
Yeah, his content used to be so good. I can't believe he sold out to Big Juniper of all things. :(
Fresh star!!
It is the best survival game walkthrough I have ever seen.
Nice ! Thanks
Admiro tu persistencia para hacer fuego,hasta viendote me estrese por que la brasa no encendia,aunque pude ver el detalle (por otros videos tuyos) que la corteza de enebro o yesca no estaba lo suficientemente fina o lista.En fin todo es aprendizaje mi estimado amigo!
Un dato que vi hoy es que la "manzanita" contiene casi un 3 mil por ciento de vitamina C!increible.Saludos desde argentina
Sí, la corteza estaba un poco gruesa pero bien. Yo estaba con prisa y así las cosas no salen bien. Sigo aprendiendo.... Ese dato de la manzanita es increíble! Me encanta la manzanita y hay mucha aquí.
It has to be so peaceful at night, especially looking at the stars. Me personally I love space so I’m jealous that you get the see the Milky Way. Maybe you can show it one time? Sending good vibes from Florida‼️
Good morning idol and I love you
Family life is really tough rn... These videos are very relaxing and help me through the tough times. Keep it up bro!
I'm glad you're enjoying them! Thank you!
Wow, he's really strong. Very amazing
Love your video man, I've been waiting for this video. Also thank you for Indonesian subtitles
Thanks so much for following along and you are welcome for the subtitles in Indonesian.
Alamak! Tadi saya tidak tahu. Makasih.
Your verbal response to the initial failure of the firestarting was surreal to me! Up until now I had only heard you in voice over and had just accepted the silence as part of the lifestyle. It got me thinking that, in a survival situation, I would probably be rambling constantly about the task at hand. Do you talk to yourself off camera or anything, or do you work best in silence?
Probably when you live in the wild for a long time completely alone, you begin to get used to everything, and conversations become superfluous. Plus, I guess talking takes energy.
The only thing I don't understand is how he manages to do so much work and yet eat practically nothing. Man, this is a mystery I can't solve.
@@peace9375 its simple, he eats actual food when he gets home to upload the videos
He is handsome an the fur baby is absolutely gorgeous and precious💖❤️💖❤️ Animals are man's best friend to the end, because they will die for you being on duty kinda like your own lil personal guard... Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you have gone through to deliver these informational videos. They are filled with alot of things I would've never knew. Thank you
Thank you for your comment and for watching!

Best physique on survivor channel on UA-cam. Love your channel brother 👍
Thanks a lot!
@@ChadZuberAdventures your welcome Brother 😊
Most of all, I like to watch your channel on the topic of non-free survival. And you know why... because you are developing in this area, you are learning - and this is great ☝ 😏 💫 I myself do the same in Russia, including in winter🤝
Yes, every day I am learning. I am a student for life... What is non-free survival?
@@ChadZuberAdventures Learning is great. What I meant was that I don't use the items I brought from civilization. Survival only with what we find in nature. I don't use anthropogenic garbage either. Primitive survival technologies, to be precise.
Okay, I understand now.
So ready to enjoy this one!
Hope you enjoy it!
Well hello there. I am so glad that I found this channel. I will explore the videos in the upcoming weeks.
Thank you chad
Thank you!
Hey Chad, your hair is getting long! To keep cooler in the coming summer I suggest you plait it then wrap it like a 18th C queue. Maybe make some wide flat five/six part plaits out of yucca fibre for the wrappings. It's so much more comfortable to have your hair off your skin when it's really hot (I have hip length hair). There's a special way to secure plaits with cord/ribbon so it won't slip out, if you google medieval ribbon plait fastening you'd find it.
I hope you make (have already made?) your new hut near that river, there's probably clay around the riverbed if it's in the region, it collects in the bends especially during flooding. Really looking forward to seeing what you do.
Cool
if we are one with nature. nature will provide us with what we need to survive. I am very impressed with your adventurous boss👍
Thank you soooo much! That's so true.
15:20 "No... Failed..." In the most dramatic voice i'm ever heard
Hahaha! I was truly in the moment and genuinely frustrated. Originally I was going to cut those utterances out but then I felt it was totally appropriate.
@@ChadZuberAdventures i had.the video quiet enough that I didn't hear em, but I could feel your pain. Definitely appropriate.
@@ChadZuberAdventures it actually adds to the realism! Amazing content thank you for these beautiful videos
Brave Chad!!! 👍🔥🍺🚿🛏️❤️ Pozdrowienia z Polski.🇵🇱
I love the quotes on these videos
That's good! I think they are good quotes.
So close to 2 mil subs!!!
Yes! Getting very close!
You are true geniuses enjoy watching it with you and very awesome place
I have made a great effort to light the fire and that shows how important it is in our social life
It Is #1 in our social life
May God Bless You❤🙏
One of my best UA-cam channels!!!!!!!
See you work hard and fail , is a sad feel but when you finally see the smoke you got mental peace and say yourself , nice he do it
I didn't know you actually spoke in your videos lol. Btw, your dog is the cutest and your love for him is very heartwarming. One of my most favorite channels on UA-cam.
Yeah, I'm going to add some narration in this series. Rufo is so cool.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Oh okay. Nice change up. Look forward to it. Hope to see more of Rufo as well when the weather is nice.
I've just checeked the subtitles, so many! also the camera cuts and these jobs needs a ton of work, I really appreciate it.
Thanks! Yeah, it's a ton of work but I'm happy to do it.
@@ChadZuberAdventures how and where do you store you’re filming equipment. Also how do you upload videos without WiFi?
I don't know when I started watching your stuff but it makes me yearn to go be in the wild for a bit, if I didn't have health conditions I would. For now though living through these videos is nice.
Im love watching your films. Greetings from Poland.
How long do you spend out in these amazing spaces before you head home for a bit?
Do you tend to do a few days filming then head back or see how long you can push it before you have to head back (flat batteries/no space on memory cards)
Really glad I found the channel, amazing work, loads of great information, superb editing work and such amazing scenery.
Keep it up!
Good job Chad
Persistence pays off
Warm and cozy
Nothing like a hot cup of tea by the fire 🔥 under the stars 💫🏕🌌🌠
One Love ☝️❤🌎✌
Thank you, thank you!
@@ChadZuberAdventures
And..well deserved🌳🌱🌲🏺🧉🔥
Chad, stay strong! Enjoy your manzanita tea - you deserved it :)
Thanks! I enjoy manzanita tea every time.
I'm not sure the quote is from Einstein, but it doesn't matter. I just enjoy the video.
Hola Chad! It is really kind of hard to believe that you manage all this technical, camera and wild stuff by yourself all alone but since you say so there is no reason to misbelieve you! Best of luck, courage and strength on your journey.
that crack sound is so satisfying
Great video as always. God bless you.
Thanks, God bless you too!
Awesome spot to choose there's a nearby cactus for food, shade under a juniper tree with berries on it and plenty of fire wood!
I have been TRYING to make a gazebo out of bamboo it is so difficult ...you're definitely a caveman Mcguiver...I'm adding you to my prayer list ...be safe
Cut and weave it
@@Barack_Osama yes I have to keep working with it until i can achieve my goal ..thank u
I also shoot bushcraft, if you go to my channel I will be glad 🥺
@@aziattv7177 awe no sad faces I will go to your channel
Thank you. I wish I could help you with your project. Have you tried bundling the bamboo together to create the columns?
You not being able to immediately start a fire seemed so frustrating. I'm glad you made it! 😊
Yeah it's frustrating, especially when I'm filming it.
Was thinking you could braid your hair..keeps it out of your way, prevents your glorious hair from getting matted.
Knots are really hard to get out.
Yeah, that is an option. I generally untangle every other morning. If I wait too many days then it gets pretty bad.
Chad, you are an incredible human! I look up to you!
Your camera shots are so, so, so good. Thank you for such amazing quality.
A journey is full of Challenge and hardship but what makes the effort worth it
is the simple but oh so satisfying results of that effort. To make manifest out of the world
and the mind of the person doing it. The work, The effort and even the failure to produce
success and forge out that from the raw world the dreams that are otherwise impossible.
I am so happy to able to go on the journey and support the Primal Tendencies.

In my country, you could build a temporary shelter quickly with bamboo and palm or banana, they’re almost everywhere in a tropical region. About the friction fire, my best result just a little bit smoke 😂
Bamboo is a great building material indeed. Nothing like that grows here.
Can we have a tv series with this man
Finally upload 🔥🔥🔥
Wow keep safe gud always protect you have a nice day
This is what I call content ❤️

My favorite channel. 👍
Woahh 31 min yeahhh
love the audio. the sounds of rubbing your hands on the uniper, or digging in the dirt, picking fruits, and when your crafting. it really is half the enjoyment watching your vids.
So good!
Sus videos me transmiten una paz increible, y son muy inspiradores. Gracias por ellos. Un saludo desde Almeria, una tierra muy parecida a la que sale en este video.
Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Nunca escuché de Almería pero si la tierra parece a esta guau, que hermosa!
Thank you Chad for your videos, truly amazing showing us how our ancestors lived, really inspired me to respect the outdoors not to take it for granted, everything we need is provided around us, nature's beauty.
I can't wait for next one..
