My Adobe Hut is Starting to Look Good (episode 32)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 гру 2021
- At an average rate of eight bricks per hour the walls of this primitive adobe hut are slowly rising above the surface of the earth and taking the form of a home. This process has been long, slow and tedious but it is now starting to look like a hut. Once again I have to take down and rebuild my shelter. Winter is almost here and I must hurry to finish. Due to time constraints I am considering leaving the walls unfinished and building the roof so that I can bunker down for the winter. In the spring I could then remove the roof and finish the walls and other details like the windows and floor. 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, 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. - Навчання та стиль
Putting a roof on now is a good idea. You'll have shelter for the winter, and it'll give you more room to move around. Love watching this build. I have a handful of bushcraft channels I watch, but nothing like this.

Thanks for the advice. That is what I will do. Thank you!
@@ChadZuberAdventures even out those walls first!
I think adding the roof now and doing the "finishing touches" in the spring would be beneficial. I'm not sure what the temperatures drop to in your location, or if snow is a possibility, but I think a full shelter makes sense. Thank you for putting out such cool content!
It’s probably northern Mexico or southern Texas
@@SahidBecdach можно попробовать определить местоположение по моменту из видео, где показаны ночные звезды в таймлапс
Great! Then I am thinking correctly. It just makes sense to me.
@@SahidBecdach I think that is Arizona or California
Anyways, south US
I was feeling incredibly nostalgic seeing the environment you’re in, but then I heard those flies.
Out of all of the impressive things you’re doing, your ability to remain calm among that buzzing is the greatest I’ve ever seen.
Hahahah, the flies are just there for the water. They really don't bother me much. They don't even come out at night or on cloudy days.
@Adolf nii-chan Mosquitoes are another story! I can't stand mosquitoes and fortunately they are only a problem out here for a few weeks during the summer.
I was thinking exactly the same when your note appeared (19:09). Juniper bark is really a very useful material, not only for helping brick building but also for temporary shelter and comfort. Can you imagine if you didn't have access to Juniper Bark? 😆
I'm loving this journey, keep up the good work Chad!
Yes! Without the juniper bark this would not be a good place to make my camp.
i like the idea of adjusting your brick mold to your desired shape. cant wait to see the finish hut. Keep it up Chad!
Yeah, it's so cool to have this freedom. Custom-made bricks at your fingertips,... literally!
It only makes sense to wait till the weather is better that way you can take your time and make it right. Also gives you more time to gather and make more material for the project. 👌👍😃
Exactly right and that's what I'm going to do.
Your vid of 27 min gives me food for thought 3 days. Then all those beautiful comments teach me also much. You must be a king or professor. Thanks for all this enrichment of my boring? life. ❤️🙏🏼😘💕
I am neither a king nor a professor. The comments are a great learning tool for me too! I get so many new ideas from you folks that comment here and I really appreciate it.
I will never miss a video of this wonderful series
Thank you so much! :-)
A roof sounds like a wise decision. You are surely going to need cover for the winter nights. This is really taking shape now, and I am genuinely excited to see how this turns out. Great video as always and I love your editing technique: wonderful time-lapses, great night sky captures and I particularly liked you highlighting where the North was while lining up your window. Really smart work. Thank you for this. Such a joy to watch.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am excited to finish this part of the journey.
I do think you should winterize and hunker down, and keep the expansion for the spring and summer next year. Great work!!!!
Thanks! I will do just that!
I think it best to go ahead and secure your temporary shelter for the winter. Keep yourself comfortable and well during the winter months and then complete the final structure and roof in the spring. That way you can really focus on maintaining the quality of the build. The effort to collect enough fuel to warm the larger structure combined with a push to complete the project sounds like a lot to get accomplished in a short time frame. The place is really looking great, I understand how you are excited to see the completed project. Either way you choose I’m sure the result is going to be pretty awesome.✨
You're exactly right. Collection of fuel shouldn't be a problem since there really is a lot of dead wood all over this landscape. Most of it is juniper and scrub oak. In half an hour I can collect enough wood for the night.
Chad if it's getting colder it would be wise of you to build the roof now and wait to finish the build later better to have you health and strong than sick may God continue to bless you with all His blessings as you continue your journey thanks again for bringing us along
You're absolutely right. I couldn't agree more and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
I think it is a good idea to go ahead and make a roof for the winter. By the time you get ready to pull the roof off and finish the details in the spring, your design will be that much better for all the time you spend thinking about it. Plus, the roof there can help you keep your work dry and maybe you can keep making bricks on warmer days.
You are an amazing inspiration but I have the luxury of waiting through this winter before I go back to earth building myself.
Exactly my thoughts. I'm anxious to work on other projects, especially food procurement.
It is looking so good! I love how you always put quotes in your videos it makes them so much more special and it's kind of like we all can connect to you more with the beautiful way you think.
Thanks! I'm so glad you appreciate the quotes. I enjoy pondering them and thinking about the lives and way of thinking of the authors.
I love all the quotes too. Speaks directly to the situation and the soul! Humanity needs to re-experience all of these things as a whole. Perhaps some of us will. It sure is interesting watching and learning the skills. I keep getting the urge to jump right in there and help you. Inspiring to watch and just goes to prove that one man can be is own everything when the need calls for it. Enjoy the down time of winter and the peace and comfort!
@@mj2745 Very well said. I know the urge, I just want to jump through the screen and help him too.
@@mj2745 Then I wish you would help! I could really use a lot of help. This is so overwhelming. It wouldn't be so difficult if I weren't spending so much time filming and editing. I am going to really try to get things together better for next year.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Awww I SO would if I could! I'm watching from Australia! Yes the filming must be a right pain for you! Call in some help. Have a work bee! Let someone else worry about that! Merry Xmas Chad. Hope you get some time to chill!
Thanks again for the great video, I've been looking forward to it all week! This is my favorite series on UA-cam and never fails to brighten up my day. Thank you for taking the time do document this journey and sharing it with us, and know that the effort you put into fine detail doesn't go unnoticed. Beautiful work as always-huge respect, and well wishes. Happy holidays, Chad!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Next year will be much better.
I think quit, and can't, aren't ever words in your vocabulary! You are truly incredible and so is everything you do!
Quitting is not an option. Sometimes I want to quit something but that just doesn't ever work to accomplish or succeed at anything.
It's looking really good Chad! I'd say roof now, then finish off in the Spring. Nothing worse then rushing and having to re-do again. Go with the flow of nature.
I doubt you have much time to read comments but a nice strong beam roof would be awesome....you could away go downward for the height you're looking fot....ideas...endless with clay.
Exactly. The flow of nature.
Originally I was considering a beam roof but then I'd have to make one of the walls much higher and I don't feel comfortable doing that with bricks of this size.
@@ChadZuberAdventures you could do your high side with a frame outside the wall, fill in the air gap with woven bark, take it out in summer so hot air can rise and escape. some desert buildings have a gap of about a foot to let hot air out in the summer...the roof line keeps out the rain, and a flap of some sort could protect in winter time
@@maggpie5552 Yes, that is a good option. I think I will do something like that on the next structure I build.
The shot at 20:30 showing the North Star lining up with the window was very nice.
I'm so glad that I thought to do that.
While you have come a long way it's time to prepare for what will soon be upon you.
In watching the flys and butterflies drink from the bricks it came to mind that they are helping the bricks dry.
Wishing you A Wonderfully blessed Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas to you too!
From the risk management point of view probably it is better to postpone expansion to spring. Very satisfying video, gives harmony to my soul.
Exactly. Good point.
Would love to see the hut finished before winter, bu take care of yourself first Chad :) Only finish the hut if you stil have time to prep for winter. I have no wish to see you freeze in a finished hut. I love to see you succed ! I will be watching no matter what route you end up taking ^^
I was so determined to finish before winter but in winter progress is so very slow. It takes much longer to perform tasks like making bricks, etc. because the adobe mud takes forever to dry during cold days and nights and with such short daylight hours. I really want to make a tile floor also so that I don't have so much dust. This change in schedule will be much better. Spring will be here soon enough, and then the hellish heat of summer will follow.
🔥С удовольствием смотрю все твои видео, очень крепкие руки, ты молодец! Жизнь в труде и сотворении контента 💪💪 красава
20:25 Chef’s kiss that some Hollywood editing right there!
Hahaha! But this certainly is NOT Hollywood!
Staying warm and comfortable only makes sense. When spring comes you can finish the hut. All good things take time.
This hur is going to be amazing! Build a roof just so you can stay warm and dry during the night and then you can build a better one when everything is Done.
Exactly! Thank you!
This shelter is coming along quite nicely. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. Cheers, Chad! ✌️
Thanks Dwayne! And Merry Christmas to you too!
@@ChadZuberAdventures the Chad has SPOKEN
Thoughts on your plan. Feet get cold so having hot rocks (protected) near your feet and spine will improve sleep. The body likes the lower temperature for sleeping because mitochondria use much more energy while sleeping. Having it cool but not cold should improve sleep results. Target your spine for warmer temps. Sleep off the floor, soil/clay conducts heat away. Cover feet on cold nights. Place draft walls in the shelter to reduce air movement. Placing a tube over your fire low on one end, higher on other (high end into living space) will create an improvement on your space temps. The ‘tube’ will not have access to gasses from fire. It will conduct cool air over the fire as the middle heats up. Temp roof will work, but your goal is really healthy sleep.
Wow! These are great tips! I really appreciate this. Thank you! Yes, good sleep is paramount.
Just a suggestion: if you added dried grass or other dry plant material, it creates a better bond and less cracking of the bricks. It also expands the material used (less earth).
OH but I do that. I add dry shredded juniper bark and it works well.
But still sometimes the larger bricks crack a little but fortunately I'm able to fix them easy enough.
Dear Chad, just wanted to say that I’m seriously loving your videos and your quotes and philosophical thoughts. I appreciate the benefits your perspective has on the current state of humankind. I would like to journey in the wild sometime in my life and I always wonder where my inner guide will lead me, when they time comes.
Thank you so much Christian. I'm glad you see the deeper meaning of my videos. It's less about how to make something and more about the spirit of man.
More of this PLEASE!!!, i love watching the building, and would like to see some Beautification or some kind of comfort advancements. I like this cause its fun to imagine ancient people doing this
I will certainly be focusing on improving the accommodations.
I'd say you're 100% correct about the native/local-wild diet and illness. I forage probably 70% of my food. I have literally not had so much as a sniffle in 20 years. I'm certain of that timeline, as it was right after my last big relocation that I started, and have never been sick since leaving the old place. I used to catch cold or flu pretty reliably almost every year prior to that. I forage less in the winter of course, but still eat something wild every day. I'm sure all the time spent in the fresh air and sunlight contributes substantially as well. The hut is looking great!
I'm so glad that you are doing the best things to take care of your health. All of that (wild foods, sunlight, exercise) contribute to a healthy lifestyle. Also the lack of stresses of modern life helps so much too.
ready to watch your videos endlessly. it is a pity that you cannot work without interruption😁 for me your channel is the best. forever grateful! Best regards from St.Petersbourg, Russia🤝!!
Greetings to you from here to St. Petersburg! Yes, the interruptions are very annoying.
You became an inspiration for me and my wife.. you said once ** don't wait for motivation, instead follow your dream even tho you don't have motivation sometimes** thanks broo!! Please bring long videos :dd good luck
Awesome! That's right! Motivation comes and goes like hunger and thirst. It's not reliable. We have to exercise discipline and responsibility.
@@pieetiustus8874 It hits me deep too.
Se nota la dedicación a cada mínimo detalle, sin duda es un arduo trabajo. Seguro se verá la maravilla al final.!!! 👌🙌
Sí, es arduo y está tardando mucho pero casi se va a terminar.
One big consideration for saving the rest of the build till spring would be possibility of frost forming in the joints of your Adobe home and that may separate the block from the still wet mud and crack apart. My vote would be to get yourself as warm and comfortable as you can. Keep improving the roof for better insulation, and formulate the final stages of that massive investment of time and effort... Some shelves and a few rounded pegs thru the blocks for convenience in hanging things, maybe? While you forage for some more food to keep you strong and healthy in the cold! Love your work!! Big kudos to you sir. 👏
Yes, I recently learned about the freezing temperatures cracking the mortar. Someone sent me a video about unfinished medieval castles being protected with dung and dry grass during the winter.
Finish the roof now. Utilize the larger space to continue working. In spring, you could attack the finished shelter with resources and plans in reserve.
Don't freeze Chad.
Yes! That's the plan!
it looks so much better than the first! cant wait to see the third hut. will probably be a clay palace lol
Yeah, the first one was just a little experiment and I didn't even expect it to work so well. The third one,... who knows what that may be like.
O horizonte deste lugar é tão lindo, parece ter saído de uma história em quadrinhos de Tex Willer. O céu noturno também é sem palavras, não me canso de olhar..
Por isso eu adoro este lugar.
@@ChadZuberAdventures É como se fosse seu paraíso particular, com todos os seus perigos.. Cobras, calor e frio extremos, e tudo mais o que este lugar oferece. É bom te ver avançando na sua nova casa! Feliz Natal, Chad!
@@lucasguedes7683 Feliz Natal amigo!
Yes, definitely add your temporary roof. Also, not working and slowing down with add the necessary body fat to help insulate you through the winter months. As well you will be able to use your time making a blanket/ poncho n moccasins to keep you warm.
Yes! That's exactly what I'm thinking. Thank you!
I appreciate the zoom in on the butterfly
Did you see the closeup of the butterfly in the previous video?
I think you should complete the roof now and finish the rest during the spring. Looks like you have plenty of things to keep you going in the winter. Not sure if it snows where you are at, but I know how it is to be in the desert (even though we had buildings to sleep in, I worked out of a canvas tent mostly during the day).
I know that it does snow here occasionally but I haven't experienced snow here yet.
I find you vlogs very interesting. I think if you haven't got the time to finish it before winter really hits the yes put a roof on it until spring. You're looking more like a primitive man with your long hair and beard. Which makes for a more authentic experience for the viewer. Look forward to seeing the next installment.
That's exactly my thought. It's getting more and more difficult to make bricks because they don't dry nearly as fast.
Очень сильное видео, заставляет задуматься о многом, деньги не главное,но без них никак,удачи вам.
You re great. Awesome. I'm waiting next episode 🙏🏻☺️
I love your videos so much I'm everytime so happy when I see that you bring a new video
Thank you so much!
YES! MORE OF THE AWESOME CONTENT!!! Been waiting all week for this Chad!
Thank you so much and sorry for the delay again.
@@ChadZuberAdventures no worries at all, my friend. I’d rather wait for quality than quantity. Though I am curious how you charge your cameras out in the desert. Have you thought about using Peltier plates in boiling water? That’s solid state and maintenance free. Technology Connection did a good tutorial on how to encapsulate them.
@@mattparker9726 I never heard of Peltier plates. I could quite easily set up solar panels.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Peltier plates are an invention from the late 18th century that use a temperature differential on either side to produce current. Also, if you introduce a current into the device it produces a hot and a cold side. I suggested it to you because you can easily create an arrangement of plates and seal them and place them into boiling water (with pc water blocks on the cold end and a radiator) and create electricity independently of the weather. With solar you can’t produce at night. In addition the secondary effect of producing a hot and cold side allows you to make a solid state refrigeration system. Either for air conditioning or food preservation. They are cheap and fantastic little devices. With you already burning wood in your rocket stove, this would use heat otherwise wasted to produce something useful. In my opinion this serves the philosophy of your channel well.
I can relate. I love a nice campfire and possibly cooking on it too. Keeps you grounded….
Thanks
You always find a way to keep me entertained. Thank you very much!
I think I agree with others. Today is officially the start of winter, the shortest day of the year. Although the days will now slowly get longer, it will be colder both day and night.
So, closing in what you can and then adding bricks where you can will be the order of business.
Now, no matter where you are, north of the equator is the toughest time to be living like you are. Your tough, you can handle it, and you will move steadily forward.
Stay warm, consider taking time to make a garment cover from bark or other near by natural material. Be resourceful. ;-)
I keep thinking this too! Get resourceful on body cover for the cold nights! Weave a warm cape, foot coverings and blanket for yourself.
Yes, you are exactly right! Those will be new priorities. Finish the roof and take care of cold business.
17:46 I honestly wouldn’t mind if you had a 30 minute video of you just building your hut like this, I like how you can focus more on the hut and finish building it quicker, I also find it satisfying that the hut looks like it’s just rising ground the soil
That's what I've been asking for too :)
I am planning to do exactly that. I have more time lapses than what I've shared so far. At the end of the project I will make a video of just time lapses of the build. I like it too!
@@ChadZuberAdventures Thank you so much!
@@ChadZuberAdventures nice
I just can't wait to get inside.
Awesome work Chad! Can't wait to see more! Best of luck and strength to implement all the ideas you have in mind!
Thank you! Thank you!
Mais um episódio da minha série favorita. 🇧🇷😀👍
Como ele faz esses vídeos man
Obrigado!!
You probably still need to collect a lot of wood and tinder while it's still dry. Maybe if there is snow even or rain, you really need wood in close proximity which isn't wet during cold times otherwise you need way more food as your body needs to work harder to keep you warm if you have to go find dry wood in the cold and wet.
How very true
Fortunately wood is easy to acquire here. There are lots of dead juniper trees with dry branches that are easy to break and carry back to the camp. I keep a good supply in the shelter at all times. Tinder also. There's a certain small plant that is an excellent tinder and I always keep some of that nice and dry, along with the punk wood.
I m excited to see the finished abode of your mr.chad
I agree put a roof on now. That gives you time to think of any modifications you might want to make before shelter is complete. Your channel is greatly appreciated.
Yes, exactly my thoughts.
I guess having a roof on the hut for winter is worth it... Even though the walls aren't completely finished yet. Heating it really is my only concern
If it is small then it will be easier to heat.
Из чего думаешь сделать крышу, чтоб выдержала все непридвиденные разрушительные факторы....!???
Например: сильные дожди, ветер сильный, возможно и снег...!!!???
Yaass my evening is safed - thanks for this new video with all this beautiful shots! ❤️🙏
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Chad Zuber I think the hut is coming out beautifully. Larger than I imagined. The idea of looking at the North Star at night and placing a window there shows your deep thoughts on how you want to maximize the enjoyment of being out there. Still couldn't help but notice and laugh at your expression when the brick gave away at the edges 😂😂😂😂.
Yes, do build your roof first and then complete the details during spring. You will have more time for pottery, brick making and other long due stuff like making traps for fish etc. Your to do list must be too long... All the best. I check every day for your next episode lest I may miss it.
Yes, the to-do list is immense! I do feel quite overwhelmed with everything. Putting on the roof and moving on to other projects will be very helpful.
Hello!
I think we should try to make an arch shape out of wood. Pour clay into it. The roof of the hut will be a dome. The construction time will decrease. And to meet winter in a ready-made house.
Actually it would take longer to make a clay dome roof. It also would be suffer severe erosion during the rains.
@@ChadZuberAdventures it would be neat to make a tile roof, but they are pretty heavy, if you baked them like your pottery, they would be rain proof, and lighter when fired? winter to think about it. they would stay on in high winds, if you get them there.
@@maggpie5552 It would take a very long time to make. I don't have that kind of time. Sometimes there is a lot of wind here but it's much less at the location of my camp.
As others have asked/mentioned... are you expecting snow? how will the winter precipitation be? solid walls, and a roof to endure the wet, and cold and the weight of any snowfall....I think the juniper bark, and deadwood roof will not last the winter if you expect any freezing precip. Absolutely love your channel/project/build/series! I can't wait to see the next episode...I wait like its Christmas or a birthday for the next upload!!! Keep'em coming!
I have not experienced snow here but I do believe that it will snow occasionally. However, I don't expect heavy snowfall. The roof probably is the biggest challenge and is the ket to success here. The roof will have a 40 - 45 degree angle so that water will quickly run off. It needs to have a good layer of juniper bark. I think it will last the winter. Judging by my first hut that is covered with cattail leaves, it has lasted four years now and I never replaced it. I haven't been there in a while but it was fine earlier this year when I visited it. This is all a big experiment. If the roof fails this winter then I will do whatever I need to get through the winter and then next year go to plan B.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I can't wait to see how it all comes together!! Words can't describe the anticipation! Sounds like we are a great distance apart New England weather in winter is very difficult at times... so that is the basis for my concern. It clearly sounds like you've got a firm handle on this. Just can't wait to see it hehehe
@@beauch63 I wish I had a firm handle on this but in reality I am quite nervous and worried at the moment. Whatever happens, I'll just have to figure it out.
@@ChadZuberAdventures You hide it quite well. From what I've seen of your previous builds I do believe you are quite capable, and will be very successful in your efforts 👍
@@beauch63 I hope so. Thanks!
It's been an exciting journey, can't wait to see the finished hut!! 👍
You and me both!
This is a really amazing progress you made. And you have the creative freedom to build the hut you want with the brick you want. What a time to be alive.
Kinda looks nice that bean stew.. so wholesome.
What's the flavour on them things? Tangy
BTW.. pretty epic how you can make a video about literal bricks drying watchable though ;) great effort.. you god it ;)
No, it's not tangy in flavor. Not with these ingredients. It's kinda bland but very satisfying.
option for you ...why only build high walls when you can also dig down inside the walls structure - only one or two 'steps' deeper as it were - this will make a larger space and a warmer space as the deeper down you dig , the better the thermal mass and latent heat of the earth that surrounds you ,(optimal 4 meters , but thats in the full extreme) and - you wont have to make such high walls & roof to be able to stand/be more upright ..its an effort for sure, but - you will appreciate the greater ambient temp in the winter, and also, you will be able to sit up more easily, and tend to your fireside much better being at a more natural level, the extra earth you dig from the inside can be used to bank up against the outer walls sides for now & again improve your themal mass & heat retention from fire for over winter - think 'Kivas' of the Pueblo peoples and Anasazi tribes' 'cities' of old...they show the way and best example of semi- sunken, adobe-walled round houses...so build roof now is a great idea, and then you can always carry on the work with some excavating whist inside safe and dry and warm undercover! :) - good luck Chad! It's great to see you progress and all your fine efforts - I hope also you spend you evenings weaveing much more bark fibres into roofing and blanketing, and a doorway & apeture covers for your colder times ahead.
Thanks so much for sharing all this information. These are great ideas. I just have one concern, if I dig down my worry is that water will seep in from the earth around the hut when it rains. I suppose I could try and then if it doesn't work then I could put the earth back.
@@ChadZuberAdventures When you're finished with your brick making hole, experiment with that and water seeping
You can feel the sense of urgency in this video. Great episode!
Yeah, I really feel the urgency now!
you're the big legend... beautiful home, congrats from Brazil..
Chad, how do you deal with all the flies!!! I think I would go crazy with that many. I believe you explained they are attracted to the wet mud. Do they go away after you are done building for the day? Do you have any methods to keep them away?
The flies come just for the water. They don't really bother me. When the sun sets they are gone and they don't come out on cloudy days either.
Chad, você queria fazer uma cabana e está a construir uma villa, incrível!!!
Rsrsrsrsr! Não é tão grande como uma villa.
Thank you so much for the content you have provided this year. The hut is coming along nicely. I agree getting the roof sorted for winter is a great idea. The warmth, your health and wellbeing is very important. Hoping you have a very safe and Merry Christmas. Cheers from Australia 🎄🎅🐨🦘🛖
Happy summer to you! Thanks and yes, hopefully I can make this all work out.
I love how you can see every star. So tranquil.
I love the starry nights here.
Are the indented bricks going to be used for the doorway? I've seen similar bricks used with a long strait pole acting as the doors "hinge", where there is a divet on top and bottom holding the door in place and allowing it to rotate inside the indents.
Actually no, that is not the intended purpose but that is a very good idea. I decided to not make the door that way because I want maximum insulation and I didn't come up with an idea to make a door like that with these materials. It's more difficult when there are no straight branches.
@@ChadZuberAdventures yucca stalks can be straight and quite large
@@maggpie5552 Hesperoyucca whippleii would be ideal however it doesn't grow here. The two types of yucca here have small crooked stalks.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Thanx for the reply, love the information. You're very peaceful to watch. I built a doghouse from our yuccas, tall and straight stalks, is why I wondered....thanx again.

Да
почему нас так много здесь, давайте организуем примитивную деревню в россии
Клас идея
I think that the little shelters you're building to sleep in while you're building the Hut is fine especially if you're making them smaller so they heat up nice, an warm. I would try to go for the finished Hut. It'll be a much more enjoyable winter with the Hut completed. The pace you're on seems to be fast enough to get it finished before it really starts getting cold. You you could gather all that you'll need for the roof and spend a little time every day getting that ready so that you can build the roof quickly.
Unfortunately it is way too time consuming to make bricks now. It won't work.
Another great one👍👍👍
Wow is this coming along! I am always ready for the next chapter in your journey. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you too!
It's always satisfying to see something that takes so long to build/make, slowing approach completion. Like it always has that small feeling of anticipation. Can't wait to see the Adobe hut finally completed and Have an merry early christmas!
Yes, it takes much longer than I anticipated. Merry Christmas to you too!
I lived in Bolivia for a short time and back then I watched an adobe wall built. The structure was strengthened by including long sticks in the wall brick.
How were those sticks placed into the walls? Where there holes in the bricks for the sticks to pass through?
i say go for it! just finish it now and have a finished home for the winter
Father time has other plans.
Amazing man I love following this. Can't wait to see what your doing after the hut is finished. The whole thing is fascinating
Thank you so much! We're almost there!
I am from Hong Kong and I like your video very much. I hope you will stick to it and continue to show me more. Looking forward to the structure of the house. Thank you.
