Mobile Palm Panel for Shade and Rain - Will it work? (episode 3.8)
Вставка

- Sun and rain. I need both to survive but too much of either one will wreck my day. To gain some control of the power of the sun and rain I decided to build a primitive mobile panel that I can place where I want it to give me shade and protect outdoor items from the rain.

Dear Chad, you are so gentle and kind. Saving the delicate Butterfly was a blessed thing to do. You are also wise in the ways of nature and strong for the hard work. I always learn from your videos.
Thank you for your very kind comment. Ever since I was a child I have rescued wildlife in distress.
That shows a lot of empathy. Bless you @@ChadZuberAdventures
@@matanyaholmes3964 Thats just nature. Whats with the spider he practically stole the food from? Does she deserve to die because she is not so pretty as the Butterfly? God made ALL creature and gave them their purpose.
I remember when I was young, my family used to make small pens and shades from the palm tree leaves for the sheep and cows to protect them from the sun and hot summer wind . Thank you Chad for your time and great efforts 🙏
That's definitely a good use for them.
happy 19 bc🎉🎉
Suddenly a comically large sombrero seems kinda valid.
It actually does.
Butterflies have tine "scales" on their wings, so it should be able to shed scales with any extra residue that was missed. Cheers! It looked like that was an abandoned cobweb, so I'm glad you helped keep the butterfly from dying!
I believe that the web probably was abandoned. There were webs all over that place.
"I wish i could timelapse my work in real life"
You and me both brother, you and me both! Itnwould be fantastic to speed through a project in 10min instead of taking 15 days. Lol!
Hahahah, absolutely! I have tons of ideas but father time is always pressing against me.
I think you should consider making a hat out of the palm leaves and yucca to protect your head and upper body from the harsh summer sun.
I think that's a very good idea.
You could make
them around your hut to keep cool in summer and fill with firewood that would always be dry. They could also whisk water away from the hut in rainstorms. Even in the front a nice place to sit...
Yeah, put one up to cover your hut from the western sun. The hut heats up all day so by the evening it's uncomfortable; block the western sun and it will be much more comfortable in the evenings and nights.
Yeah, it's true. In the afternoon the hut gets hot from the sun. A shady porch would help a lot.
I don't know why I'm scared of butterflies but seeing you rescue one made me smile :pp
Scared? Really? That is very strange.
You make it look easy, my friend.
Your effort and creativity are priceless.
It is easy but time consuming.
Dear Mr. Zuber.
👍👌👏 Extremely well done again and as always (video and work). Seeing all the effort it takes to fabricate things without proper respectively modern tools, helps me to admire all our ancestors. Especially the early ones.
As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular.
Thank you
MAN I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE STILL MAKING VIDEIS,BECAUSE I USED TO WATCH THEM WHEN I WAS IN HIGHSCHOOL...KEEP THE GREAT WORK AND HOPE TO SEE MORE,BECAUSE IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL THAT I REDISCOVERED THIS BEAUTY OF A CHANNEL,AS THE MAN THAT'S MAKING VIDEOS ON IT❤
Thank you and welcome back. I'm glad you're here.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Thanks,will watch often from now on and thank you too✌️😎
Will be interesting to see the rain test results.
We all wish we could "time lapse" our work. But we are glad you are able to do this for your videos. 😊 I couldn't sit around just watching you, if I were there. I'd have to get up and help or make my own with you then you would have two in the same time it takes to make one. 😆
Haaha, yep. That's the beauty of timelapse.
Thank you for helping the butterfly.
But the spider was left with no food.
@@kramer3147 Looked like a cobweb to me.
@@kramer3147 If an active web, this is true. To me, it appeared to have been abandoned. Also, considering the frequency with which spiders have to rebuild their webs, I suspect it would be fine either way.
If you were stuck in a spider web I would help you out too.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Awww
You are really a true inspiration to me and many people, thanks for the video. Take care
Thanks, you too!
I think it would be ideal for the roof of a storage shed. Cheers, Chad! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️
Agreed
I remember an illustration in an old Robinson Crusoe book of him with a palm parasol.
In the book he made one from goat skin but palm could have some benefits over it.
I remember that illustration!
@@lindaseel9986 The crazy thing is that my 76-year-old memory of it showed him with an animal skin fur hat.
@@mrsillywalk My 67 year old memory does too. But I remember that parasol.
Hey Chad , great work ! You may weave a door from palm leaves for your hut , and night covers for windows to protect you from cold on chilly nights .
I have never weaved with this kind of palm. I'll have to experiment.
Arizona Tiki bar. Never thought about notching palm.
I love it! Great idea!
Я пришёл с работы уставший - много звонков, много нервов, принял душ. И голодный завалился на диван. Воткнул в уши наушники включил Ютуб и стал смотреть как Игорь Негода собирает Гоночный болид с нуля до последнего болтика, уснул наверное по середине его ролика. Очнулся ото сна от того, что Settler из игры Sid Meers Civilization 3 строит какой то навес из пальмовых листьев...
Один живёт в ХXI веке и он строит болид, второй живёт во времена когда наверное только только вымерли мамонты...
Но объединяет их одно - Ютуб😂😂😂😂
Ха-ха-ха! Это так классно. UA-cam объединяет нас всех.
Seems like something that could make an ideal set of primitive shutters to keep the majority of a driving rain out of a shelter with open windows. I would be inclined to drill holes and peg them in place, ideally with a bit of pitch glue added.
the rain doesn't come in the windows though. The eaves of the roof protect the windows well enough.
You could use fan palm leaves as a broom/brush/cobwebber, but another use for that panel specifically could be using it to dry food.
Yes, definitely.
🔥A very interesting and rich series, fresh👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes, thank you for helping the Butterfly.
Another excellent work of handcraft. Don't see why it wouldn't work in the sun. Not too sure about a heavy rain storm though
Time will tell
@@ChadZuberAdventures True
you could use them to make a privay screen for an outdoor bathroom/shower or as a shelter to store firwood outside
I do want to make a shower. That's in the plans.
Keep one of those fan palm leaves in your hut. Cut it down a bit to make it more compact and use it to blow air into your fire or fan your head when it's hot inside.
Lash a couple of them together and cut down the end straight for a broom? Rip of the individual leaves and use it as 'rebar' in your Adobe bricks? Use for kindling?
Use a 'plate' to keep things off the ground/dirt.
All good and practical ideas. I'm definitely going to bring more of those leaves here.
Hey brother Chad, I still enjoy your videos. Very often I watch them. ❤
Perhaps the solution for this heat is for great Chad, conqueror of the wilds, to build the primitive sombrero
Yeah, a sombrero would be helpful but not as good as shade.
Yippee! Today’s just gotten better!
i would do an experiment: leave palm and shells and tile and all sorts of resources, and see how the badger would use them in winter!
That would be very interesting. Hahhaah.
Las hojas de palma secas son, entre otras cosas, un excelente material, cuando se rompen en trozos pequeños, para aumentar la resistencia de los adobes de barro, igual que funcionan muy bien como soporte permanente para hacer techumbres aislantes, recubiertas de barro amasado, sobre armazones de madera como el que fabricaste para tu choza. Gracias por el vídeo. Suerte en este caluroso verano.
Te refieres a poner barro directamente sobre una estructura como esa por ejemplo?
Ah, sí. Esa es buena idea. Gracias!
@@PublicServiceForTruth Si. Cuando tienes una estructura de maderas sólidas, como es la que Chad fabricó en la choza, solo necesitas cubrir las partes huecas entre las maderas con algo que sea resistente al peso para añadir una capa de barro amasado, y las hojas secas de palma, por la forma en "V" de sus brotes, soportan muy bien el peso sobre ellas sin necesidad de usar tanta madera adicional de refuerzo en la techumbre. Y duran muchos años, ya que no es normal que sean atacadas por tantos insectos.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Un placer ser de alguna ayuda. Gracias.
I made a fan outta them once but that's it. It looks like a pretty decent roof. Good sun cover and reasonable rain cover.
Fan Palm can also be made as a Hand-held Fan to cool yourself especially in hot summer time. It can also be used to drive air to your fire place when you are making a fire .... Besides, many people in South East Asia use fan palm to make simple roof for their hut ( usually when the palm are still green & fresh which is easier to handle ).
Getting green leaves is difficult because they are higher up on the palm. They are also harder to transport because they are bigger when they are green. A fan for the fireplace is an excellent idea.
You should try to weave the Palm leaves into a mat like the Vietnamese do. You can weave a bunch of mats and use them as panels to build all kinds of stuff. They work good as walls, roofing, flooring etc..
I will have to learn how to weave mats with this material.
I suggest you watch any of the many channels out of Asian countries. Many people use the palm leaves as roofing material. If you gather it when green it's more pliable and the leaves themselves can be used to attach onto a framing.
That's interesting. Getting green leaves here is a little more challenging because they don't actually grow here. I have to transport them.
Selamat malam Pak Chad Zuber, Nice video mencoba hidup sendiri dizaman Batu👍👍👍
Terima kasih
This butterfly is super lucky to be saved from the only person in this desert. I mean what are the odds :X
Very slim odds of someone else finding it and saving it.
Hi! The thin rope that you made,looks very durable.
As for the dry palm leaves, perhaps they could be used as a binder along with soil in brick making.
It would be interesting to try to weave and create some kind of basket during the season when the palm leaves are green
Yes, the rope is very durable. The leaves mixed in with mud would be a great binder indeed. I've used this material for making a basket before but I didn't really like it. Maybe I just don't know a good way to weave with this palm.
Thank you! 🙏❤
Thank you!
I would have weaved together a single layered mat using the over under method. And just carried a couple of sticks. Less weight and can be rolled up and tied with a shoulder strap, more portable and less cumbersome. But the idea for portable shade is a really good one with those 103 temps. ugh.
I think that may be too brittle after a short while in this dry climate.
@@ChadZuberAdventures and wetting them after they're dried probably won't work as well
I’m guessing the humidity is very low. Maybe you could use a few of those bricks to make a natural a/c? Wetting them and letting them air dry inside your hut might cool it down a bit :)
The humidity is very low most of the year.
Thumbs up *specifically* for the "I wish I could time-lapse my work in real life" comment! XDDD You and just about everyone else, here!
Hahaah, I'm guessing that you have a million ideas that you'll never have the time to bring to fruition.
Fan palm leaves could be used as underground food storage liners, shutters for hut windows, loosely woven for food platters, camouflage, pit covers, brooms, and bedding. Just some ideas.
Bro just robbed the spider of its meal😮
Oh no. Poor non-present spider. If the spider was hungry it would have pounced on the butterfly before I arrived.
@@ChadZuberAdventures It seems like an intervention in the orderly functioning of nature to take away the spider's meal, but I think that in human nature there is also the instinct of mercy towards a life that is in danger.
Surely the spider will not die of hunger. It is so skillful that it will manage to find a new meal.
You work very hard. I admire your persistence and ideas. 😀🖖👍
You are what man forgot. Ty❤
I think it would be rather easy to make yourself an umbrella/parasol with the leaves that's easy to move when you're traveling or needing to work in different places. It would provide good shade and (hopefully but would need testing) protection in the rain.
Like a folding umbrella? That would be difficult. An unfolding umbrella would be possible and quite nice.
@@ChadZuberAdventures It doesn't need to fold, and would probably require less work than what you put into that frame.
I really look forward to the videos you make
Thanks for the beautiful nature and enormous effort
I am cheering for your further success from Japan
Thank you so much! Are there good places in Japan where I could make videos?
@@ChadZuberAdventures
There are many natural and mysterious places in Japan
But I think you need to get a lot of special permission to experience them
The climate and vegetation is surely different from the lovely desert you are in now
You are a wonderful person with respect for the land, so the difference will be a nice experience
I feel like a little boy now!
Thanks for the reply Chad👍
❤✨️❤ tudo tão interessante. Abraços querido CHAD🇧🇷
Nice video thanks.
Great job on the butterfly rescue! I take bugs outside too. :)
La isla donde yo vivo se llamaba Tamarán (Palmera) mis antepasados la usaban para todo, he de decir que no había metal eran tabona de obsidiana su material cortante típico. Decirte que la falda que utilizaban como vestimenta era hecho de hoja de palmera y se llamaba Tamarco.
Como siempre, Chad, excelente documental. Gracias 🤠
Cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ cuộc sống sinh tồn ngoài thiên nhiên đầy khắc nghiệt và thú vị.
Cảm ơn vì đã xem.
Спасибо за видео . как обычно очень познавательно .
Спасибо за просмотр.
On 1:13 -1:20 of this video, beside the butterfly, the green plant is Asiatic Wormwood (Artemisia argyi) you can bring a few near to you hut to plant. It is a fragrant plant. Can use to repel flying insects like mosquito am so on. You can even squeeze some juice in your shower water as a natural perfume. Eau de Artemisia 😊
Very good job👍 you could use this to fortify the roof during heavy rains
Greetings, Chad, I want to suggest that you improve your flint by adding a thread and a stick to it, so that there is a lever for rotating the base of the flint.
The question IS
...wish is the real life ?
have a nice week chad .
Have a nice week too.
hard work to cut palm with stone a stone !
It's not that hard. All I have to do is cut the sides of the stem a little then I can snap them at that spot.
Gosh! I'm at the rim with only 33 Celcius here and Chad somehow stays phisicaly active at 38... OMG 🥵
Hahaha, it isn't always easy.
This father is getting older, always healthy, father😊
If possible Can you make a full video on archeology or ancient traces of humans in your area like some pottery shards or petroglyphs Stuff like that ❤love your videos
I haven't found any ancient traces of humans in this immediate area. You may have seen mortar holes and petroglyphs from some other locations but that's all that I've found.
That is very interesting thanks for sharing that information, the lives of these incredible individuals who lived long ago fascinates me and I love to see people like you who still keep up ancient traditions and ways of life ❤
Awe chad saved a 🦋. They sell fan palm leaves here for $10 a piece. Why not build something to cover the hole in the ground and use that as a storage bunker? Great video/work. 😊
The hole collects water during rains. A storage bunker needs to be above ground or in the side of a slope or cliff.
you should white wash your hut or put a coat of mud over the outside looks like it is weathering quite a bit . best to intervene now rather than later while the wear is still minimal
Yes, a little weathering. I don't have material for whitewashing. Weathering happens mostly during the winter.
You should build an umbrella for your deserts treks. Umbrellas are a must have to protect from sun while walking and also protect from wind at a rest.
That would be heavy though. Unless I just used a few leaves. But the wind would make the trek even harder with an umbrella.
Spider: Dude?! My lunch!
No spider around.
Nice
Just try to do tiles for the roof, it will need a lot of time but you can do it
Chad! Gran video! Como siempre!
Como idea podrias hacer algo parecido en el futuro y cubrir los cultivos en los momentos de gran intensidad solar, sigue asi!
Olá amigo, aqui no Brasil tem uma palmeira com as folhas parecidas com essa dai. O buriti, as folhas dela é muito utilizadas para coberturas de casas e chalés.
Perfeito. Acho que este material vai funcionar.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Seu projeto do galpão dará certo com a cobertura de palhas, boa sorte na sua nova impleitada.
Muito obrigada por mais esse ensinamento.

Di tempat tinggalku kalimantan selatan hal ini sudah biasa kami lakukan untuk membuat atap, tetapi kami menggunakan pohon kelapa, selain itu proses nya berbeda, kamu mengikatnya menggunakan tali, tetapi di daerah ku kami hanya menjepitnya, ada juga yang diikat tetapi tidak menggunakan tali tetapi menggunakan daun itu sendiri
Kelapa tidak tumbuh di dekat sini. Daunnya sangat berbeda dan digunakan secara berbeda.
Make a primitive wooden stool for siting nd relaxing
Nice Bro
Nice video
It is nice that you saved that butterfly but now the spider has lost a meal, he won that food fair and square.
Boa tarde chaad😊
Boa tarde Marcos
Buen trabajo . Venezuela
Hola Venezuela!

The spider sitting there on its string while he frees the Butterfly is like "wtf man, whats with MY survival? "
That poor spider will go hungry tonight
La vida no es siempre justa. A la mariposa no parece preocuparle tanto la felicidad de la araña. 😅
Where was the spider? I didn't see a spider. What if the butterfly just needlessly died and the spider was already gone or dead?
@@ChadZuberAdventuresI agree. If the spider is as around, it would have already had the butterfly paralyzed at least.
With your lashings, is there a reason you are ignoring the "frapping" step? After you get the few wraps around the branches you should tighen them up by doing a few wraps around the lashing itself to pull the loops around the branches tightly together.
I don't think I showed all the detail of tying the branches together because it was too long and most people then just click off of a video at that point. But, yes, I do wrap around the lashing itself too. I might not do it the best way though. I've never been taught how.
if you want to help increase the over all plant and animal health in the region i think making a makeshift beaver dam or to in some of the seasonal rivers/streams... i heard it insures that the water will slowdown enough to better soak into the ground which helps the plants and animals... also apparently it can help create fire breaks to slowdown and supress wild fires... i think it could help with fishing if make correctly... regardless making some small swells and berms along any nearby channels that rain water flows should help with erosion and plant growth in your area... then again if i had my own land to live and build on i'd let my inner medieval nerd out and start building a castle/fort...
Get some green leaves and weave yourself a big broad-brimmed hat to block the sun!
A sombrero!
Excelente panel para generar sombra,pero si la dirección del viento cambia tendrás que hacer otro y ponerlo con un techo en V invertida ,por la lluvia.,también te sirven como biombo para separar espacios,ó para crear un espacio con privacidad,para hacer un baño,una ducha .💪💪🔥
I have a question Chad. Have you ever considered hunting for food like rabbit and coyote? Both can be eaten if cooked well.
Rabbit is a possibility. There are coyote, deer and javelina out here too but hunting them is really tough. I rarely see them. Trapping small game is more possible.
Interesting
You could make a manual fan. Operate it with your toe through a rope loop. Making the mechanics for it, would be interesting.
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰💖
Greetings and blessings to you.
Chad could you give us an update on your new rock and mud tile floor
You'll see it again soon enough.
I think this would work pretty well considering that it leaves practically no holes for the rain to get through but i guess we will find out when it rains, as for what to do with the dry palm stems do you think it would work as a hand fan?
Yeah, a hand fan would work. I personally don't like hand fans unless someone else is fanning me. Haha.

Yes, agriculture, increase in food production, has led to so many problems in the world, hasn't it? I don't know how you can reduce the population with love and peace. All they use is lies and deceit, war and abortion.
could use them to make a broom for your new tiled floor in your hut, how's the dust buildup been since you made it? is the palm comfortable to lay on? could make a mat. Another thing you could try is put the shade panel over the hole and see if it gets cool inside it. You said its very time consuming to use that rhyolite to cut and shape wood, maybe a tool upgrade could help, do you have any kind of Knapp able stone around? If not no harm in getting some from a friend. keep up the good work, stay cool out there.
Rhyolite is knappable. I haven't found other good stone yet but that may just be because of my lack of knowledge in geology. Palm mats may be a terrific idea. I want to make a decent bed eventually.
@@ChadZuberAdventures try going by the river and breaking stones open until you find one with a glossy look to it. just make sure to close your eyes on impact or shard of stone might get in your eye. if you cant find anything maybe bone tools would be better. remember your bone saw, would that work on wood?
You could probably make a broom for sweeping the floor inside of your hut clean of dirt men you are finished with the floor.
I think that would work indeed.
Can rhyolite be heat treated into a better knapping material? Also, I wonder if the thick main stalk of fan palm can be used as a baseboard for fire.
Yes, I've been told that fire treating rhyolite makes it a better material for knapping. I haven't tested this idea out yet. The fan palm stem can be used as a baseboard for fire. I've used it that way before but it's not nearly as good as Parry nolina.
👍❤️❤️❤️🐾🐕
How did you find the obsidian and the other stone you use as a knife? Were they just lying on the ground near your hut or did you have to travel somewhere to find those?
I don't even know where I got the obsidian. I've had it for a long time. I think a friend gave some to me several years ago. I have not found obsidian here.
@@ChadZuberAdventures What about the other stoned you sharpened by breaking it in the video?
@@svej6912 That's rhyolite and there's tons of it here. I have been using it since the first year I came.
Hi Chad! Are there green palm leaves? You could weave a hat out of green leaves.
:-=)
Of course. A hat is a great idea but I haven't figured out how to make one with this kind of palm. Do you know how?
Maybe weave a small basket to go on your head and make the shade part out of the leaves?
@@desmorris9187 I will need to learn that weaving technique.
Will you make a sling? You are into primitive technology so i think it fits the theme
Yeah, I've used a sling before. I'm terrible at it. I really need a lot of practice.
