  • Food is a powerful force of motivation and the desire to satisfy a hungry belly with tasty sustenance has carved and shaped entire cultures over the centuries. In this episode we fire the pottery Matty made the day before, I show him a simple way to make a survival basket, and I make primitive corn tortillas for a taco feast to commemorate “Taco Tuesday”. This series will be ongoing so be sure to stay tuned for the next video.

    My equipment:
    Camera: Nikon D7500 and GoPro Hero7 Black
    Sound: Zoom H6
    Editing: Final Cut Pro X on MacBook Air
    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, but that has been very rare.
    Do you stay out there permanently?
    No, I usually stay out in a wilderness area for about a week and then hike out and return to a city for editing and uploading. I have family and other obligations to take care of as well.
    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...
    (Note: I receive an affiliate commission from any sales derived from clicking on the link above)
    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 49.
    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.

    Keep in mind making jerky was a way to preserve and keep or transport meat long distances without it spoiling. The common practice back then was to cut or mash the jerky and add it to dishes like soups to rehydrate it.
    Really the only time they used it dry was when they mashed it and added it to pemmican. Eating straight dried meat like we do in modern times was done in desperation back then and, In my opinion, has become a modern habit due to a skill getting lost in translation. Your body has to work incredibly hard to rehydrate and then break down dried meat.
    The modern way isnt the correct way but here we are 🤷‍♂️

    I have to admit, I was apprehensive when someone new joined, Especially since I had no experience of what Matty was like. But I think it turned out great as a break and a way for us to see you guide someone through a process and give us more detail on how certain things are made. While the conversation was tense and nervous the change of pace and commentary was great.
    I've grown to like Matty despite my apprehension. I think breaks like this are a great thing to include every once and while, though I'll enjoy anything you put out.

    I have to say one thing I've loved from this series is how you make items not just for survival but actually to make life nicer and comfortable; plates and spoons, small bits of decor, a matress, etc.
    Minor suggestion for some crafts: As you've been planning on making a proper floor for the hut maybe a small broom to dust could be useful.
    Edit: Nixtamalization also has use in that it helps break down the corn and allows nutrients such as vitamin b to be absorbed

    At 5:47 when he blows into the dakota kiln the first time, you can see ashes puffing out the air intake shaft...and then being sucked back in from the draft. It's quite amusing! A suggestion for preparing tacos next time, pound and soak the meat in a little boiled water. It'll be more like a mush, but it'll be much easier to chew. As for the ash-to-quicklime, I can only think that it didn't get hot enough for long enough. Might want to prep a few ash balls and fire them separately from the pottery, so that you don't have to worry about the pottery cracking? I think that limestone-to-quicklime conversions require fairly high temperatures for a fair bit of time to succeed, but I can't remember the exact details.

    • @ChadZuberAdventures
      @ChadZuberAdventures  2 роки тому +5

      I really ran out of time to prepare the tacos better. The sun was setting and I was hurrying so much to finish the video. That's the big challenge with shooting videos is that the sun doesn't wait when I say, "Cut!". To make lime I'm going to use limestone or shells next and really blow some air in the hole. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Great video! Matte, and his developing skills, has made both a nice basket and dining utensils. I was impressed that his clay work’s didn’t crack or break, even the fragile spoon. Very impressive, but I have always been impressed that Chads works fire up so well. I always love the basket making videos and pottery It is great we get to see what comes out of the kiln, always exciting.
    Y’all both had me cracking up over eating the tacos. They actually did sound like they were quite good. I had wondered throughout the whole video what was going to be used for the fresh vegetable topping. The sprouts were perfect!! They do say that sprouts are extremely nutritious. They looked tasty. Might want to use a bowl or plate next time though , so all little bits can be thoroughly enjoyed. I was impressed though at how well the tortillas the stayed together. It was a fun meal to watch.
    Just a few little thoughts, and being, I was wondering if soaking the wood, being used for basket making, might make it a little more supple. I know the fresh is pretty flexible, but might be a way to use dried material.
    Also, on the lime making, I have seen where they super heat, basically fire in a kiln, chunks of limestone , rocks. They then take these heated rocks and plunge them in water. Just a thought.
    Thank you 🙏 both for the great informative and entertaining video, I did really enjoy laughing with the two of you at the great dinner. What great fun.
    Hey Chad , just another idea, you ought to take Matty down to the creek and try some more fishing!

    • @ChadZuberAdventures
      @ChadZuberAdventures  2 роки тому +1

      The clay here produces very good pottery. I have not had any problems with it. All of Matty's pieces turned out fine. Yes, soaking the branches in water would make them more flexible but it would also take several more hours to do so. Time is always limited and often I do things not necessarily the best way but just good enough because getting it done is far more important than perfection. I intend to experiment with limestone and shells to make calcium hydroxide. Fishing will be the next video.

      adding water to the ball is how you check if it worked. If it worked, itll start steam and hiss and fall apart as it slakes. If it does none of that, it didnt work lol

    WOW!! What a Fantastically Fun episode - learning to basketweave, firing the newbies' pottery and handmade tortillas - WHAT?? This was such a delight to be invited into your adventure - thank you!! It's exciting to watch Matte learn new skills and in the process, we get to learn them too! I know many suggested soaking the meat first and I was thinking, to save time, you might pour a bit more water and actually rehydrate the meat with the corn next time. The meat would be softer, the corn tastier and the fat from the meat might make the corn stick together better and crisp up a bit more in the fire. Only a suggestion but you guys really did a terrific job with Taco Tuesday, especially after that first bite - almost made me pee my pants I laughed so hard!! Anyway, thanks for the exciting and entertaining video! Forever a fan,
    Miss Mix-a-Lot from Alabama 😉

    Others have mentioned this already with varying levels of correctness, but yes, the wood ash will not contain much if any calcium salts. Wood ash is mostly sodium and potassium salts, which is perfectly fine for making soap from fats. I believe you have mentioned being in southern California, so I do not know the type of rock you would have access to, but further north where I am, we do have a lot of calcium bearing rocks, so it is possible to find in California.
    To make calcium hydroxide from limestone or other calcium bearing rock types (or snail/seashells if you have access to them), you need to heat it to approximately 825C, this will convert the calcium carbonate starting material into calcium oxide (Quicklime), this is then reacted with water to form calcium hydroxide (slaked lime). As you already attempted and know, calcium hydroxide is used in nixtamalization, it is also used for making mortar, plaster, etc. as the calcium hydroxide will convert slowly back to calcium carbonate in the presence of carbon dioxide, becoming similar to the original rock material.

      @@ChadZuberAdventures I have successfully made nixtamalized corn using wood ash. When you mix water with enough wood ash you get an alkaline solution which will be able to dissolve the corn skin, you just need to use a lot more ash than you would lime, like 10x. The process is a lot messier as well because when you are cooking the corn, the water tends to boil over, but it’s perfectly possible to get good tortillas if you only have wood ash. You don’t need to make any additional process to the ash either, just mix it with water, dump the corn and start cooking.
      Here are the amounts I used when I tried the wood ash method
      4 cups water
      1 cup dry corn
      1 cup wood ash
      As you can see the ash concentration is significant, but that’s what you need for the solution to work effectively. After 30 minutes of cooking you should start seeing the skins peeling off the corn. Hope this helps.

    Perhaps you could sometime try grinding flour from the pith of honey mesquite beans. They grow where I am in central Texas. It makes a love sweet bread. I recently succeeded at this by loosely grinding the beans so the pith would separate then grinding the pith. I am unsure if these trees habitation stretches down into your part of Mexico however.

    18:03 the more I watch you fetch water, the more obsessed I get with you building a way to bring water up from the river.

    Since you're in a very arid area, have you considered/heard of an evaporative cooler? Sometimes referred to as a swamp cooler, it can use evaporating water to help take away the heat.
    Not sure how practical it'd be with limited water in the area, but it might be something fun to look into.

Though you could have rehydrated the Jerky some with boiling it in water for 15 to 30 minutes and using the water for a Broth/ soup as well since it take on the meaty flavor. It would make the meat softer as well for Next Taco Tuesday. heheh You can also do this cold as well by soaking it in less water over night rather then boiling it. Oh you can creative as well by soaking it with your barriers or anything thing really, it will add the flavor to the meat.
