Hammocks are the perfect choice for trips or taking a nap. Quick to install, takes up little space, it's easy to see why it became his favorite choice!
Thank you Mr chad for your uploads! I eagerly await for them all the time to learn from the 'primal king'!! 🦍 I learn alot from them and apply them in my life to enjoy and have a more fulfilled life ❤
Thanks for not blatanly copying the Survivorman intro music/style and narration like you did on the earlier videos of this season, enjoying the more original and natural tone.
Huh??? I never copied anyone's intro music/style. I don't even watch Survivorman. I don't know what his show intro is like. I don't copy anyone. I don't even watch other "survivor" videos. By the way, you're bound to find the same music in many other videos. It's not exclusive content. Anyone can use the music available in the UA-cam studio. I change or modify my intro style now and then as I try to keep people interested in watching. If people don't watch then there is no reason to make videos.
Man with that big hunk of Juniper, its really looking like its time to invest in some basic stone tools. Like a stone axe of sorts, or more mallet like i suppose. That would definitely help break down those big pieces of wood without having to man handle and smash it around the place like the Hulk throwing a tantrum... xD
Actually that is not true at all. Using even a steel saw to cut this juniper would take way more time than just simply smashing it on a rock. Trust me, I know this from experience. A stone tool can cut live green juniper branches but the dry dead ones are really hard to cut but explode upon impact.
That was cool❤ love the yucca hammock, but a thought occurred. What about making a yucca 'sack chair', just a comfy hut life suggestion. Another great video ❤👍
Maybe. It's just a question of the time required to make. The hammock took me about 250 hours. There is so much other tasks that are of higher importance to me.
10:03 , I'm just gonna carry this giant tree back to my place..breakfast in bed 😂 this video really shows the full experience our ancestors went through just for a decent meal. Cavemen are always depicted as stupid or less educated, but they were so far from it. Great great video!
i really enjoy watching your videos when i have free time to just lay back and relax, which recently has been never! so glad i got some time today to do so. lol you're really good at expressing that humble and realistic satisfaction and appreciation for all of the gifts that life gives us, unlike many primitive/survival channels that seem to be solely production/crafting focused (although those are very interesting from a technical standpoint ofc). when it comes to sitting back and just appreciating some fresh air and peace of mind, your videos go great with it. and on the side i get to learn a LOT about survival and nature!!
Thank you. I appreciate your appreciation. I think the little things like giving thanks is so important. Even when I cut a yucca leaf I always thank the plant and bless it.
Ese paisaje del arroyo es una belleza, me hace acordar a un lugar de Córdoba, Argentina en el cual viví varios años. Comparto la idea que agradecer el alimento es una parte importante de nuestra vida. Saludos Chad! Excelente video
Attention quand même avec le Cresson cru... bien que se soit un super aliment... il a la particularité de transmettre la douve du foie (fasciola hepatica) pas très bon pour ton filtre interne ;) Merci pour ces supers vidéos 👍🏻
Yeah, that's a good point. I should bring the burden basket and get a load. First I could dry it in the sun so it doesn't weigh so much. Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even think of that.
One thing you may want to try is smoking the fish. Some other UA-camrs, Greg Ovens and Zack Fowler went on a 30 day survival challenge in the Rockies in Canada and smoked fish the entire night to preserve their catches and prepare them for breakfast. Some of the fish they smoked were smoked enough that they could eat them whole, bone and all. It might depend on the size and type of fish though. Another youtuber I like to watch is Primitive Skills, his name is Duong and he is a guy from Vietnam who does a lot of survival, construction, farm working, and so much more. I highly recommend some of these guys' videos. They have a lot of interesting crafting techniques and survival tips, some of them do not even require modern tools.
I would smoke fish if I had a large quantity of them. When comparing different survival channels it's also important to consider the naturally available materials. For instance, a lot of people have suggested that I use bamboo and I inform them that bamboo doesn't grow here. I'm not in southeast Asia. And here all of the available wood is curved, twisted, crooked branches which are very difficult to use for construction. And I'm also working alone. A lot of channels have a crew behind-the-scenes to help do most of the building projects. I don't.
Can you show us what in nature makes good band-aids and what makes natural medicines? I find your channel fascinating and good break from the modern world.
I've never used a band-aid in the wild. I get cuts often but I just wash them off and that's it. However, I have made a natural bandage for other people when they cut a finger. I used a medicinal plant leaf to cover the wound and then wrapped it with cordage. Once in the Amazon I used a palm leave to wrap a guy's wound on his finger.
Everytime I've taken a camera out fishing I've never caught a fish. But if I go without one I catch fish. Or if I am catching fish and the next time take a friend we won't even get a bite. For me it's more just finding a good shady spot to sir and casting out a line I love when I can spend a day like that.😊

Hi Chad, Try using a primitive sinker in the form of a stone with a hole at the end of the line, and raise the hook 10-20 centimeters above the sinker. It will be easier to throw. It will be easier to hook fish. Good luck with your fishing!
Ultimately it won't matter. Fishing with a line is for fun. You can't sustain yourself like this. He's just making videos, not surviving on it. The calories from the fish will barely cover the work to get it.

On some days we caught so much, that we had some to keep in the freezer. Soleily through fishing, it's not sustainable long term, that I agree with. But it does help.@@MrBottlecapBill
@@MrBottlecapBillbut he never claimed to survive solely on the single chub he caught. he just wanted to show how he cooked (and later ate) it. I know previously he's made fruit rolls out of cactus fruit, he's had a garden he harvested from, he brings small amounts of food with him which he's shown and explained. You're making assumptions based on a single 17min video. I find that odd. Whilst I don't know one way or the other about whether fishing like this is sustainable long term (I don't fish), I think it's wrong to make assumptions about his "surviving" vs "just making videos".
There is a saying that I heard many years ago. It goes like this - ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME. There are lots of things about me that people assume when they really know very, VERY little about me and very little about this place where I built my hut. If one were to spend a week doing what I do out here then they would have a totally different perspective.
Ancient sailors around the Mediterranean would often ask people to donate long hair to make the ropes and lines for their ships. Hair stretches when it gets wet or moist (human hairs have been used in humidity gauges), which means it is less likely to break abruptly, so ropemakers would mix it in with other fibers when making cordage for important projects. This is also why human hair *isn't* used to make bowstrings, because it'll stretch too much, reducing the effective draw strength of the bow. Same with wool, which usually has a crimp (the wavy/kinky look of wool fibers is called crimp). Most bowstrings were made from flax or other straight plant fibers. It would be waxed, twisted, bundled, twisted again, and then wrapped to help prevent it from breaking
Thanks for sharing all this wonderful information! I really like the strength and smooth texture of cordage that I make from yucca fibers and my hair. I haven't shared much about this in my videos but I've collected a lot of my hair over the years and have made over 200 feet of cordage with it. I realize how valuable it must have been to native peoples and I can envision them collecting and using it too. I've made bowstrings successfully from just yucca fibers. They are pretty strong but I should try waxing them like you said.
It is quite possible to gather the watercress, dry it carefully, crumble it to a powder, and store it in a lidded jar in the hut. This will give you "powdered greens" (especially if you do this with other similar leafy greens) that you can add to anything with moisture later in the year. (A pot of boiling palo verde beans, soups, stews, and so forth.) The nutritional content won't be quite as high as when fresh, but it will help deliver vitamins and minerals that otherwise would not be available. I will powder spinach, kale, dandelion leaves, and other such things, then sneak it into soups and stews for my family in the winter. Sometimes I have even gotten powdered nettles, which are very high in protein as well as vitamins! (Dehydration, like cooking, can help neutralize the "sting" from the nettles, though cooking is still recommended.)
Yes, I actually have done that with other greens. I'm sorry but I haven't made videos of everything that I do. It's just not possible. There is a wild parsley that grows here and it is absolutely delicious. It's only available in May and I collected some and dried it. It preserves well when dried so next year I'm going to collect a lot more. It adds a wonderful flavor to any dish.
Bonjour à toutes et tous de France 🇫🇷 Le cresson sauvage est sûrement très bon, mais le cresson en général peut être vecteur d'un parasites pas très sympathique que l'on appelle la Douve du foie. Il est hautement conseillé de le manger cuit essentiellement. Voir sur Wikipedia Douve du foie vraiment très embêtant. De même la chair du poisson crue est à proscrire dit autrement c'est "NO"! Les poissons ont souvent des parasites. Ils faut aussi les cuire. Bonne continuation 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Oui, j'ai aussi lu cela à propos du cresson. Je pense que cela dépend aussi beaucoup de l'emplacement. Certains endroits peuvent probablement contenir des douves du foie et d'autres non.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Bonjour Chad Je vous remercie d'avoir pris le temps de répondre. Effectivement, vous avez raison cela dépend des endroits sans doute des lieux infectés par les fèces d'animaux. Sans doute par ceux des moutons principalement il me semble, à vérifier. Cette rivière vous apporte un petit supplément de nouveautés culinaires c'est appréciable. Et je sais que vous prenez vos précautions et faites attention à votre santé. Je vous suis depuis un certain temps déjà à travers vos vidéos. J'admire votre courage et votre résilience face aux éléments et aussi face à la faim. Vous nous faites partager de façon pédagogique vos expériences en toute humilité. Je vous en remercie, cela nous permets de traverser la crise actuelle en relativisant les événements actuels.

Que le ciel vous protège. 💐💐💐❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐
@@patriciahenry3317 Merci beaucoup pour votre bénédiction. Oui, il m’est parfois arrivé de prendre des risques et de manger des choses potentiellement nocives. J'ai également consommé de l'eau provenant de sources douteuses. Il s'agit en grande partie de tester la résistance de mon corps. À mon avis, il vaut mieux avoir une forte résistance que d’être simplement extrêmement prudent.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Oui effectivement j'avais vu votre vidéo au sujet de cette eau dormante. Votre travail sur votre hamac était remarquable et fastidieux. Votre sommeil est sans doute amélioré. Mais n'avez vous pas peur de tomber en plein sommeil ? Je vous souhaite le meilleur. 💐💐💐❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐
I was wondering why you don't use traps to catch a rabbit/hare. I remember that in the beginning of S1 you found a rabbit so they live in the area...Is there a specific reason you have not tried this?
I believe he has explained before he doesn’t like to kill animals, I also assume that would be a problem with UA-cam. That’s why a lot of times he will do things with meat he brings to the camp.
@@jakeozoneone Not killing animals is the exact opposite of any traditional or useful survival technique lol. It's the youtube rules and of course.......he's just making videos not actually surviving. There's no way he's maintaining that muscle mass on beans and water cress lol.
our rabbit and Jackrabbit population has declined greatly here in the last 6 years it might be the same where he is . plus youtube gets its panties in a wad over some huntings and farming stuff
Excellent video Chad. I like the peppery taste of watercress as well, but I question the water they're resting in, same with Cattails. Also as you were walking with the fallen Juniper I noticed you captured a couple shots of the Cholla cactus. It would be cool to see you harvest some Cholla buds whenever they're in season and show us the process. I've seen others role them in gravel to remove the glocids and then I think you boil them, but I think they'd be better roasted over fire.
I've eaten chollas buds before and to me it was a waste of time. Lots of time to prepare something that was not at all desirable to eat. I would only eat that in times of true desperation. Ants and other insects are far more nutritious and satisfying than chollas buds in my opinion.
Muito bom, uma pescaria de caniço, aqui aonde eu moro as vezes tento esfriar a cabeça dando uma pescadinha no córrego. Meu pai quase direto pesca. Obrigado, Sr.Chand por postar esse vídeo.
Hey Chad how about a new project, try to make two wheels from the earth you make the dishes, then burn them like other dishes and try to make a big basket woven with a triangle of three branches tied together, then attach the wheels with the basket to it and you have made a cart to help you carry several things at once, maybe some heavy ones
@@ChadZuberAdventures Okay, then maybe if you tried to create some wheels from those flexible branches and completed by making a braided rope and covering the wheels with that rope, maybe it would work, I know it's work, but I think it would be amazing if you managed to do something like that 😄
Do not throw away the top peel from the prickly pear, it can be dried and ground into flour, knead the dough and use it in writing in the form of tortillas, with a master a small canopy for storing firewood from the weather, it was necessary to make the size of the entrance to the hut a little smaller, this will save more heat, for the garden you can use river silt this will increase soil fertility so they did in In ancient Egypt, make large jars of clay to store water supplies and store food for the winter. They can also store water for watering the garden in the dry season. If there was an opportunity to correspond with you by e-mail, I could provide you with some materials for your survival.
Sometimes I throw the prickly pear skin into the compost to make better soil. I also save the seeds to grind into flour. I also want to make a canopy to store firewood and bigger pots. I haven’t had the time. Editing videos and other things takes so much time. Right now I am also very occupied with harvesting acorns and wild fruits. So much work, so little time. My email: chadzuber@hotmail.com
@@ChadZuberAdventuresYes, you are right, for the most part you try to do everything for the comfort of your survival and the fact that the process of making rope from Yuki is a very laborious process, I tried using your technology to make a rope from flax hemp took a very long time to make 5 meters, since Yuki in my homeland will actually not be able to grow. I am a fisherman myself and I weave nets on my own for fishing and using the technology of a fishing net, I tried to weave a hammock with cells 2 by 2 cm in time less expensive about 1 week but also less comfortable due to the fact that it takes up more space your way of knitting a hammock allows it to stretch and fold like a spring and it takes up less space it is huge plus. Your videos are wonderful, you should teach this in schools in survival courses
Hi Chad...! I'dd like to invite you (if you can please take your family along!) To a survival course here where i live in Canarias. La Palma. Pretty please... No snakes involved for sure. I wish i was there where you are!!!!
Place a think coating of ash over the remaining hot coals. That will keep them from going out for a good 12hrs. That way you don’t have to restart the fire from scratch
I love watercress. You can make a salad with it. Also you can make a soup with onion and/or garlic. Fry these first add water and watercress and salt to your liking and cook until the leaves wilt. Any wild allium in that area?
Another good video my fish story telling friend. The only question i have is : What did you sprinkle on the fish out of the container just prior to cooking? My guess is it was some type of dried then crushed berry. Take care my friend.
Its awesome to see what you can make with your hands and whats around. Do you think you will give smelting a try in the future? If you can source anything.
This lifestyle is very interesting and I follow you. Make a trap for the animals and place it in their way. To get food in absentia. Maybe you were able to hunt birds and animals like rabbits in this way.
It seems that it is difficult to continue working with this situation and the videos may become repetitive. My opinion is to get another place like a mountain or a virgin forest and go to the catching,hunting challenges there.@@ChadZuberAdventures
Hey Chad! I know it's rather late to comment on this video, I've seen it when it came out, but just now came up with a question I'd love to ask. Before I begin - I really love all your videos, they're all amazing, and sometimes even make me daydream about putting myself in a similar situation. Thank you, for all these years of dedication, and creating really great content. I like that you don't put too much voice over it, and instead do your best to capture the Primal Tendencies experience. I am wondering though, since you've gotten a new shovel, that also looks to be far larger than the previous one, have you considered expanding the hut? I know it's a labor intensive process, I've seen you building it in the first place... But I feel that a larger shovel would've allowed you to excavate more material in less time, right? Also, I've thought of slightly wetting the clay-rich dirt first, then spreading it out in a thin layer (Maybe on some juniper bark?), then allowing it to dry out first, before sieving out the larger rocks - Perhaps it could make the process faster and easier. What do you think?
The shovel won’t speed the process up that much. Maybe 10% faster. Rather than make the current hut bigger I want to make additional huts but in different styles. That way I can get a lot more experience. I don’t think wetting the clay rock dirt first and doing what you suggested would be any faster. I would still have to grind down the dirt. The clay I use for pottery isn’t pure clay. It contains a lot of minerals too. It happens to be the best clay I’ve ever worked with. It’s very strong and easy to work with. I’m anxious to start working with clay again.
@@Timmyjg2004 For your information, metals are everywhere. For example, he is walking on iron containing clay, rust gives it the red colour. You just need to get it hot enough to melt the iron.
Metal tools would require technology a lot more complicated and time consuming than what he's currently using, especially when you're talking about getting it from clay.
Eu sei que e muito complicado e difícil mais como você conseguiu fazer uma rede de dormir, não seria um grande problema para você também fizer uma rede de pesca , isso seria um grande avanço pora sua pesaca o único problema e que custa muito tempo e trabalho. Seus vídeos são formidáveis eu gosto muito do seu canal um abraço irmão ...Brasil!
Do you think that if you would go there pernamently and have no contact with humanity ever again, could you survive with the amount of food and resources available there? Of course it would be very hard without for example health care, but I'm curious is it technicly possible for one person to fully live this life.
I've only used health care when I had a serious health situation arise. Nature does a good job of healing most illnesses. But it would be hard to survive here. It would require very good planning and utilization of available resources. Water storage would be very beneficial. I plan to make lots of water containers to store water during dry periods. A rain catch system also would be very useful. Food is scarce at times. Hunting is very difficult here because there isn't a lot of wild life. Fish are very plentiful between April and November. Winter would be very harsh here. A good supply of food is essential for winter survival. It would be necessary to travel to lower elevations to harvest additional foods. Insects are definitely the most reliable food source here. There are lots of ants and grasshoppers. Learning to collect large quantities of insects would be the best assurance for food. Occasionally a deer or javelina could be hunted but I rarely see them. Rabbits are more plentiful but not that many. There are quail as well but again, if I were to take too many then they would be very scarce too. I think the most reliable foods are insects, fish, and prickly pear leaves and fruit. Most years there are lots of palo verde beans in the spring but this year there were none because the winter storms lasted longer than usual. There were acorns this year too but they quickly were infested with worms and eaten by wild life. There are a few other fruits that are available in the summer but they take a long time to collect. There are several herbaceous edible plants too that can be collected and dried for long term preservation. So, yes, I believe that long-term survival is possible here but it would be a very harsh and difficult life with very limited food options. This place is a very good place to train because if I later go to another location with more resources available it will then be much easier.
@@ChadZuberAdventures You are right, you're one of the most skillful survivalists out there. Living in nature is hard, but I can even do it on a freaking desert. Looking forward to see some new videos about for example the water storage you mentioned. Thank you for your time spent writing this
@@wojtech3 I'm sorry that the progress here is so slow but keep in mind the amount of time that goes into just editing and uploading the videos. Let me remind you that I work alone, nobody helps me in these projects and I also have family and they don't live here at my hut. Hahaha! I've become accustomed to living very simple but most people do not accept that lifestyle. I have so many ideas of things I want to make and build but I'm limited by time. If I had help I could make a lot more happen but I would need a lot more funds to pay the people too. But at least I now have that big kiln to fire bigger pots and I'm thinking of ways to make a garden successful here. That is a real challenge. It's so hot in the summer and so cold in the winter and the rains are not consistent so I would have to collect a lot of water or find some other way to irrigate.
They are made from stems, not roots. And yes, all these are basically made the same way. There are slight variations where sometimes I've used a little cordage to tie the stems together when beginning a basket but they are with willow or willow-like stems.
Modern rubber hasn't been around that long, only about 115 years, but rubber trees and other natural sources of latex have been used by indigenous people for much longer.

This one is made of giant cane but bamboo obviously works just as well.

Hi Chad, Try using a primitive sinker in the form of a stone with a hole at the end of the line, and raise the hook 10-20 centimeters above the sinker. It will be easier to throw. It will be easier to hook fish. Good luck with your fishing!
Ultimately it won't matter. Fishing with a line is for fun. You can't sustain yourself like this. He's just making videos, not surviving on it. The calories from the fish will barely cover the work to get it.
depends on the fishing spot plus technique and tools and then some luck, of course. We used to fish with lines and sustain a family of 6 from it when I was a kid. On some days we caught so much, that we had some to keep in the freezer.
Soleily through fishing, it's not sustainable long term, that I agree with. But it does help.@@MrBottlecapBill

I know previously he's made fruit rolls out of cactus fruit, he's had a garden he harvested from, he brings small amounts of food with him which he's shown and explained. You're making assumptions based on a single 17min video. I find that odd. Whilst I don't know one way or the other about whether fishing like this is sustainable long term (I don't fish), I think it's wrong to make assumptions about his "surviving" vs "just making videos".
There is a saying that I heard many years ago. It goes like this - ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME. There are lots of things about me that people assume when they really know very, VERY little about me and very little about this place where I built my hut. If one were to spend a week doing what I do out here then they would have a totally different perspective.
Ancient sailors around the Mediterranean would often ask people to donate long hair to make the ropes and lines for their ships. Hair stretches when it gets wet or moist (human hairs have been used in humidity gauges), which means it is less likely to break abruptly, so ropemakers would mix it in with other fibers when making cordage for important projects. This is also why human hair *isn't* used to make bowstrings, because it'll stretch too much, reducing the effective draw strength of the bow. Same with wool, which usually has a crimp (the wavy/kinky look of wool fibers is called crimp). Most bowstrings were made from flax or other straight plant fibers. It would be waxed, twisted, bundled, twisted again, and then wrapped to help prevent it from breaking
Thanks for sharing all this wonderful information! I really like the strength and smooth texture of cordage that I make from yucca fibers and my hair. I haven't shared much about this in my videos but I've collected a lot of my hair over the years and have made over 200 feet of cordage with it. I realize how valuable it must have been to native peoples and I can envision them collecting and using it too. I've made bowstrings successfully from just yucca fibers. They are pretty strong but I should try waxing them like you said.
It is quite possible to gather the watercress, dry it carefully, crumble it to a powder, and store it in a lidded jar in the hut. This will give you "powdered greens" (especially if you do this with other similar leafy greens) that you can add to anything with moisture later in the year. (A pot of boiling palo verde beans, soups, stews, and so forth.) The nutritional content won't be quite as high as when fresh, but it will help deliver vitamins and minerals that otherwise would not be available. I will powder spinach, kale, dandelion leaves, and other such things, then sneak it into soups and stews for my family in the winter. Sometimes I have even gotten powdered nettles, which are very high in protein as well as vitamins! (Dehydration, like cooking, can help neutralize the "sting" from the nettles, though cooking is still recommended.)
Yes, I actually have done that with other greens. I'm sorry but I haven't made videos of everything that I do. It's just not possible. There is a wild parsley that grows here and it is absolutely delicious. It's only available in May and I collected some and dried it. It preserves well when dried so next year I'm going to collect a lot more. It adds a wonderful flavor to any dish.
Bonjour à toutes et tous de France 🇫🇷
Le cresson sauvage est sûrement très bon, mais le cresson en général peut être vecteur d'un parasites pas très sympathique que l'on appelle la Douve du foie.
Il est hautement conseillé de le manger cuit essentiellement.
Voir sur Wikipedia
Douve du foie vraiment très embêtant.
De même la chair du poisson crue est à proscrire dit autrement c'est "NO"!
Les poissons ont souvent des parasites.
Ils faut aussi les cuire.
Bonne continuation

Oui, j'ai aussi lu cela à propos du cresson. Je pense que cela dépend aussi beaucoup de l'emplacement. Certains endroits peuvent probablement contenir des douves du foie et d'autres non.

I was wondering why you don't use traps to catch a rabbit/hare. I remember that in the beginning of S1 you found a rabbit so they live in the area...Is there a specific reason you have not tried this?
I believe he has explained before he doesn’t like to kill animals, I also assume that would be a problem with UA-cam. That’s why a lot of times he will do things with meat he brings to the camp.
@@jakeozoneone Not killing animals is the exact opposite of any traditional or useful survival technique lol. It's the youtube rules and of course.......he's just making videos not actually surviving. There's no way he's maintaining that muscle mass on beans and water cress lol.
@@MrBottlecapBillonly re***ds use 'lol'.
our rabbit and Jackrabbit population has declined greatly here in the last 6 years it might be the same where he is . plus youtube gets its panties in a wad over some huntings and farming stuff
@@solidsnakesimulation666I see, so are you then.
Excellent video Chad. I like the peppery taste of watercress as well, but I question the water they're resting in, same with Cattails. Also as you were walking with the fallen Juniper I noticed you captured a couple shots of the Cholla cactus. It would be cool to see you harvest some Cholla buds whenever they're in season and show us the process. I've seen others role them in gravel to remove the glocids and then I think you boil them, but I think they'd be better roasted over fire.
I've eaten chollas buds before and to me it was a waste of time. Lots of time to prepare something that was not at all desirable to eat. I would only eat that in times of true desperation. Ants and other insects are far more nutritious and satisfying than chollas buds in my opinion.
@@ChadZuberAdventures You know it's not worth your time when gathering and eating ants is preferable!

Hey Chad how about a new project, try to make two wheels from the earth you make the dishes, then burn them like other dishes and try to make a big basket woven with a triangle of three branches tied together, then attach the wheels with the basket to it and you have made a cart to help you carry several things at once, maybe some heavy ones
It would break. The wheels would not last unless the path was only sand. Wooden wheels would be more durable.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Okay, then maybe if you tried to create some wheels from those flexible branches and completed by making a braided rope and covering the wheels with that rope, maybe it would work, I know it's work, but I think it would be amazing if you managed to do something like that 😄

Do not throw away the top peel from the prickly pear, it can be dried and ground into flour, knead the dough and use it in writing in the form of tortillas, with a master a small canopy for storing firewood from the weather, it was necessary to make the size of the entrance to the hut a little smaller, this will save more heat, for the garden you can use river silt this will increase soil fertility so they did in In ancient Egypt, make large jars of clay to store water supplies and store food for the winter. They can also store water for watering the garden in the dry season. If there was an opportunity to correspond with you by e-mail, I could provide you with some materials for your survival.
Sometimes I throw the prickly pear skin into the compost to make better soil. I also save the seeds to grind into flour. I also want to make a canopy to store firewood and bigger pots. I haven’t had the time. Editing videos and other things takes so much time. Right now I am also very occupied with harvesting acorns and wild fruits. So much work, so little time. My email: chadzuber@hotmail.com
@@ChadZuberAdventuresYes, you are right, for the most part you try to do everything for the comfort of your survival and the fact that the process of making rope from Yuki is a very laborious process, I tried using your technology to make a rope from flax hemp took a very long time to make 5 meters, since Yuki in my homeland will actually not be able to grow. I am a fisherman myself and I weave nets on my own for fishing and using the technology of a fishing net, I tried to weave a hammock with cells 2 by 2 cm in time less expensive about 1 week but also less comfortable due to the fact that it takes up more space your way of knitting a hammock allows it to stretch and fold like a spring and it takes up less space it is huge plus. Your videos are wonderful, you should teach this in schools in survival courses
Hi Chad...! I'dd like to invite you (if you can please take your family along!) To a survival course here where i live in Canarias. La Palma. Pretty please... No snakes involved for sure. I wish i was there where you are!!!!

I love watercress. You can make a salad with it. Also you can make a soup with onion and/or garlic. Fry these first add water and watercress and salt to your liking and cook until the leaves wilt. Any wild allium in that area?
That sounds really good and no, I haven’t found any wild allium in this area.

The only question i have is : What did you sprinkle on the fish out of the container just prior to cooking?
My guess is it was some type of dried then crushed berry.

nice video! is it possible to make the hammock bigger?
Yes, of course. I would just need another 1500 feet of cordage and 200 hours to do it!
This lifestyle is very interesting and I follow you.
Make a trap for the animals and place it in their way.
To get food in absentia.
Maybe you were able to hunt birds and animals like rabbits in this way.
Yes, there are many options. There aren't a lot of wild animals out here so it would be very challenging.
It seems that it is difficult to continue working with this situation and the videos may become repetitive. My opinion is to get another place like a mountain or a virgin forest and go to the catching,hunting challenges there.@@ChadZuberAdventures

Hey Chad! I know it's rather late to comment on this video, I've seen it when it came out, but just now came up with a question I'd love to ask.
Before I begin - I really love all your videos, they're all amazing, and sometimes even make me daydream about putting myself in a similar situation. Thank you, for all these years of dedication, and creating really great content. I like that you don't put too much voice over it, and instead do your best to capture the Primal Tendencies experience.
I am wondering though, since you've gotten a new shovel, that also looks to be far larger than the previous one, have you considered expanding the hut? I know it's a labor intensive process, I've seen you building it in the first place... But I feel that a larger shovel would've allowed you to excavate more material in less time, right?
Also, I've thought of slightly wetting the clay-rich dirt first, then spreading it out in a thin layer (Maybe on some juniper bark?), then allowing it to dry out first, before sieving out the larger rocks - Perhaps it could make the process faster and easier. What do you think?
The shovel won’t speed the process up that much. Maybe 10% faster. Rather than make the current hut bigger I want to make additional huts but in different styles. That way I can get a lot more experience. I don’t think wetting the clay rock dirt first and doing what you suggested would be any faster. I would still have to grind down the dirt. The clay I use for pottery isn’t pure clay. It contains a lot of minerals too. It happens to be the best clay I’ve ever worked with. It’s very strong and easy to work with. I’m anxious to start working with clay again.

Chad...just wondering why you did not make your camp closer to the water?
I dont think he owns the land down to the river
Insects, flooding, rugged terrain, lack of good clay, wind.
When are you going to attempt metal tools?
He doesn't have metal where he is, and stone works well for him
@@Timmyjg2004 For your information, metals are everywhere. For example, he is walking on iron containing clay, rust gives it the red colour. You just need to get it hot enough to melt the iron.
it would be dope to maybe see a metal tool making episode
Metal tools would require technology a lot more complicated and time consuming than what he's currently using, especially when you're talking about getting it from clay.

For how long do you usually stay at your primitive home at once?
Five days
Do you think that if you would go there pernamently and have no contact with humanity ever again, could you survive with the amount of food and resources available there? Of course it would be very hard without for example health care, but I'm curious is it technicly possible for one person to fully live this life.
I've only used health care when I had a serious health situation arise. Nature does a good job of healing most illnesses. But it would be hard to survive here. It would require very good planning and utilization of available resources. Water storage would be very beneficial. I plan to make lots of water containers to store water during dry periods. A rain catch system also would be very useful. Food is scarce at times. Hunting is very difficult here because there isn't a lot of wild life. Fish are very plentiful between April and November. Winter would be very harsh here. A good supply of food is essential for winter survival. It would be necessary to travel to lower elevations to harvest additional foods. Insects are definitely the most reliable food source here. There are lots of ants and grasshoppers. Learning to collect large quantities of insects would be the best assurance for food. Occasionally a deer or javelina could be hunted but I rarely see them. Rabbits are more plentiful but not that many. There are quail as well but again, if I were to take too many then they would be very scarce too. I think the most reliable foods are insects, fish, and prickly pear leaves and fruit. Most years there are lots of palo verde beans in the spring but this year there were none because the winter storms lasted longer than usual. There were acorns this year too but they quickly were infested with worms and eaten by wild life. There are a few other fruits that are available in the summer but they take a long time to collect. There are several herbaceous edible plants too that can be collected and dried for long term preservation. So, yes, I believe that long-term survival is possible here but it would be a very harsh and difficult life with very limited food options. This place is a very good place to train because if I later go to another location with more resources available it will then be much easier.
@@ChadZuberAdventures You are right, you're one of the most skillful survivalists out there. Living in nature is hard, but I can even do it on a freaking desert. Looking forward to see some new videos about for example the water storage you mentioned. Thank you for your time spent writing this
@@wojtech3 I'm sorry that the progress here is so slow but keep in mind the amount of time that goes into just editing and uploading the videos. Let me remind you that I work alone, nobody helps me in these projects and I also have family and they don't live here at my hut. Hahaha! I've become accustomed to living very simple but most people do not accept that lifestyle. I have so many ideas of things I want to make and build but I'm limited by time. If I had help I could make a lot more happen but I would need a lot more funds to pay the people too. But at least I now have that big kiln to fire bigger pots and I'm thinking of ways to make a garden successful here. That is a real challenge. It's so hot in the summer and so cold in the winter and the rains are not consistent so I would have to collect a lot of water or find some other way to irrigate.
Hi chad
Hi!
Are all your baskets the same way made like the root one, the survival one with your friend and the baskets that you have to collect nuts and berries?
They are made from stems, not roots. And yes, all these are basically made the same way. There are slight variations where sometimes I've used a little cordage to tie the stems together when beginning a basket but they are with willow or willow-like stems.
