Hello Chad, I also had not luck with these kind of traps for a long time. But then in 2018 I went to Africa, and a 60 yo native lady taught me how to make a better trap and how to set it up. So in that part of Africa they make the entry hole asymmetrical. So the hole is not in the middle of the cone but off to one side. The fish trap needs to be setup so that the hole is directly over the ground. So that the fish can swim more easily into the hole, because they like swimming near the ground. Next she told me that the opening needs to face downstream. Then she said to me that the sides need to be blocked off, so that the fish are forced to swim into the trap. Also the trap should be shaded with leafy materials so it looks like a dark hole. Bait is also important. Maybe this helps :) Love your videos.
Glad to know you like Chad Zuber too. Also sorry for yelling at you 9 years ago. I was foolish and didn't know what I was doing and got sick because of it.
Chad: You will have too many fish in the spring...So many, that you will have to let some go... I hope you are staying warm, that your health is good and that solitude is kind to you. Thank you for taking us along on your journey!
I would recommend for those in more northern or colder climates, and especially on any day with no direct sunshine, to *first carefully plan, situate, and create a modest fire alongside the stream where you intend to bathe, something that won't get out of control, but which can radiate enough heat to warm you back up quickly once you're out of the water.
Hi, I’m from Northern climate and we regularly do cold water swimming or ice water swimming here. Fire is totally not necessary but drying up and putting the warm and dry clothes on afterwards is. 😊 Warming up by moving before and afterwards helps too. Have a good day! 👋
Well your more prepared for the fishing season coming up. Winter time can be a rough season depending on wear your living. I am a meat eating guy, and don't feel like I had a good meal unless there's meat in it. If I was out there wear you are I'd be looking in to trapping small game, and hunting with a bow. Make a whole bunch of jerky! I think the fish trap will work for sure. Might have to wrap more cordage around it. Those fish can slip through some tight spaces. Look forward to next video!
I don't know if it's possible or even right for that region but, would perhaps a work sled or wheel barrel be an option for the ability to carry and do more but easier? Also, It would be interesting to see a backpack made of your Yucca fibers woven on a primitive loom. I love the idea of primitive crafts with things like that. Looming and weaving and baskets and pottery and clothing from natural fibers and paints and book making all from materials. Can you imagine Chad doing a journal in a book he made on paper he created and using ink and quill he did? How cool is that? Narrating his video like he does but as he writes in the journal he made? And if a book is not primitive enough he could do a scroll or clay tablets. Just trying to be helpful I guess. Ideas for those long nights waiting to fall asleep or on the mountain top where reception is possible.
💥💥💥Greetings, Chad. It is also necessary to put the bait inside and the neck, the entrance is smeared with clay mixed with the bait, it is necessary to put the entrance downstream👍👍👍
You are more than just a content maker. You are a great professor. I watched all your videos from your first video in the channel to this video. You are doing a very big job. I really like everything in your videos. You always post when you are not fishing and this is not what other adventurers do. You always live the journey. I wish you good luck. All the love to you ♥️
Your videos and Toms are my favorites, built alot of cool contraptions and learned alot from you guys. No matter how much of the modern world and college tries to taint me, I'll dedicate myself to this lifestyle full time one day.
I'd have dug a deeper channel, submerged the trap, and used woven willow fence to guide fish rather than the stone dam, maybe add some worms, locusts or shrimp in a net bag tied inside. But I think a sun-warmed pool might be more successful in winter. Great video!
Tough luck there. I guess it's the wrong time of year. Just make sure to find a secure spot to store the trap, so that it doesn't get swept away by a flash flood or something.
The wading in the water looked like a whole lot fun, but the plunge was something I would not be able to do. Though I bet it was really invigorating, and probably felt fantastic afterwards. Better luck next time on the fish, they said it was too cold for them too!
Cold winter streams are the hardest to locate fish. They will hide anywhere they can such as undercut banks, logs, leaves and even rocks. The one species of fish your showed from the warmer months look like green sunfish. They are the ones with the dark spot on the gill plate. They can be very friendly and will even peck at your feet if you stand still in the water near them. I'm sure others have mentioned building a weir to guide the fish to the trap. That would help but I don't know how much you want to leave the streambed alone. Don't forget to look under the rocks if you decide to do so. If there's dragonflies present in the summer around the stream, you will find the dragonfly nymphs on the underside of rocks. Good luck and you'll be catching fish soon.
My grandmother taught me to fish. You need to face the trap downstream. And place it in a smaller part of the stream, if you can. You want to damn the stream, with rocks and big branches. So that all the water flows through the trap. We always made a smaller trap inside of the larger one, so the fish couldn't get back out. You also want to put leaves and sticks to cover it, and the food for fish Is very important. I was always taught to set them up at first light and then check it out when father Sun is 3 fingers from mother earth. Or set it up when father Sun is 3 fingers from mother earth and get it when father Sun is directly overhead. The second option is for when the time of year is not best. You can also use leaves that make the fish come out, but I don't think you know what kind to use . Anyway, I hope you do better. An empty stomach at night is not fun. I hope this helps.
It might seem like a bit of a struggle right now because of the season coming to an end, but on the plus side, you have the trap rady to go for when the fish begin coming back downstream for another spawning season. Preparedness is always a good thing, Chad. Best of luck bro. Hope you're safe.
Well tried anyway! Shows you how we take our convenience of our shows for granted. It’s not easy catching food. I love eating raw fish, so it’s quite funny - I actually get jealous of grisly bears when they catch their fish. I literally drool when they bite into the fish with such tenacity. Such fresh, tasty organic fish! Yuuuuuum !

In my experience with my old man, we go to the closest part of downstream but where the water still flowing, and then we make rock dam, not to stop the water, but to force the fish go to the trap, and then cover the trap with leaf. usually we leave it for a day.
I was so excited about the trap, sadly it didn't work out as expected but don't let that discourage you, i guess that is attributed to the lack of fish in general right now, not the trap, simply wrong time of the year. Trying something new and learning is worth the effort, i believe. The trap looked fine as is. Thanks for sharing another fine episode. ☮️
That’s the next thing on my list of things I must build first, even before a shelter. 1st) Home Depot 2nd) Farmers Market 3rd) CVS 4th) Sportsman Warehouse Only then I’ll build a shelter to live off the grid. Jokes aside, growing up in Africa was much easier to live off the grid. You really have to work hard to do it where you are. I doubt I would last a month. That’s why I give you a lot of credit. Thank you for sharing, brother.
Been loving the extra videos and more frequent content you've been putting out. Always love your work, I wish one day to experience something like you are currently but have no experience. Your videos are educational, relaxing and entertaining. Keep up the good work, I'm always on the lookout for your next video! :)
РЫБА СЕЙЧАС СТОИТ НА ГЛУБИНЕ ГДЕ ТЫ КУПАЛСЯ ЗИМОЙ ТРУДНО ПОЙМАТЬ ТАКИМ СПОСОБОМ НО НА ГЛУБИНЕ МОЖНО СЛОВИТЬ РЫБУ ПОПРОБУЙ ПОЙМАТЬ НА ГЛУБИНЕ И ПРИМАНКА НУЖНА ДЛЯ ЛОВУШКИ
another option is the 3-5 pronged fishing gig spear, the prongs can be fashioned from bone or wood and are quite effective once a little practice is done (to adjust for water parallax). Attach a long line to make retrieval easy and I have even seen native peoples use an atlatl or as it is known here in Australia the woomera (aboriginal spear thrower) to improve range and power. The spear is the primitive people's best friend and most useful ranged weapon and tool and would have been used for a lot longer than the bow as it is easier to build, effective and lethal. It can also serve as a defence tool against predators and as a hunting weapon and not be thrown.
It’s always worth using rocks to funnel the fish into the mouth of the trap too. Set and forget traps are the best kind of trap for animals once you’ve done the hard work of creating it.
PREGUNTA / QUESTION: Why do you rarely eat cactus fruits in your videos? I see a lot of Palo Verde and Mesquite maybe even Ironwood if I remember (which are all nutrient dense and important for previous native peoples) But there are few times where we can see you eating Prickly Pear, Barrel Cactus fruit, Saguaro fruit, Cholla, Christmas cactus in large quantities. You seldomly store them either. I think it would be very cool to see you make fruit leather or dry out cactus fruit pulp like the natives. Or to reduce it into a sugar jam or jelly. Another thing one can do, is crush the prickly pear into water, sift off all the solids and let dry in the sun. You'll be left with an extremely sweet honey with about equal consistency. The same is possible with mesquite.
There are no cactus fruits in the winter. Prickly pears produce fruit in late summer. There is no saguaro in these mountains either. I didn’t try drying prickly pears last year because I didn’t have the clay pots for storage. This year I will be more prepared.
I like these shorter videos. The longer ones I dont usually sit through Ill still watch just as many times as you upload them and less work for you! Hoping you get some meat soon! Maybe you can even breed your own fish farm eventually. Hunting wild game would also be cool to watch
Just suggestions as our experience in the Mentawai eye trap should not face water flow, so it is placed by turning the flow of water, the trap is covered with leaves until the trap does not appear to be a strong wooden retaining love and the installation of traps in the afternoon tomorrow is just harvest.
I'm sorry ,I mentioned the Funnel, I just now ,am watching the clip from your first time in the water Fish trap... Keep on keeping on. I would have had a heat attack jumping in that cold water..
I like your longer videos better. In fact, I am a bit sad when they end. 20-30 min is great for me (this is partly a response to this 10 minute video and partly to your last Q&A when you considered experimenting with video length).
Sigue insistiendo. Como pescador de mar te aseguro que lo que necesitas es seguir insistiendo hasta que lleguen en su temporada. Tarde o temprano llegarán ; ) suerte Chad.
It's going to get hot again before you know it, and you'll need to stay hydrated and safe from the heat. While the weather is still permissible, and certain bigger projects are on standby, it may be worth your time to build a large water reservoir with a built-in filtration system close by. That way you'll always have clean water to drink on hand or before venturing out, and you could always replenish it with 1 or 2 large pots at the end of the day.
You need to build a v formation out of rocks and in the end of the v you put your trap right below it it funnels the fish into the trap but I would wait until spring for when the fish are moving more also love the videos 👍👍
Yep, the barrier needs to be the width of the river. It's a lot of work, at least an hour moving stones. Then he needs to open up the basket so it's like a thatched wall that allows water through but not fish, and hold it down with rocks, and cover the only flow through area.
Another way you could try to catch them is fishing by hand. What I mean is you go in deeper water on the edges of the river and fell under the rocks gently like you are trying to tickle the underside of the rock. The fish should stay calm as long as you move slowly and gently. After you feel a fish just position your hands one around the gills and the other near the tail and press it on the rock until you have a good grip on it. I don't know if you will have success in the winter with this technique but it's worth a shot. P.S. Love the vids and I hope you continue to make them!!!
@@ChadZuberAdventures He was also called a La Longue Carabine, or The Long Rifle. He was kind of a side character in ask the Mohicans. The book takes place during the French and Indian wars. I think there are 4 books that cover Most of Hawkeyes life. Not a bad read by fire light. Or in the shade of a tree by a stream. It's a mix of historic events and made up ones that could have happened.

When you will beat the ender dragon my friend? We want to see that moment. Also.. amazing skills, purely. Such knowledge on surviving. U should try a few days here in eastern Europe forests. God bless you and keep up the good work.
I have used baskets exactly like this in wilderness survival trips I have taken. I've found they work best for me at least in deeper water. But I was targeting catfish specifically. I hope this works for you. It's hard to survive without protein like meat.
hey chad you didn't fail, I also clearly doubt there will be fish trapped, you have to put a bait first in the trap so that the fish are attracted to the trap, you also have to know what type of fish is dominant in the river so you know the right bait for the fish, and also you have to leave the trap overnight or more
or indeed other factors like you said, there are times when rivers have fish populations that are very difficult to see, I hope you understand my opinion
Tu trampa no falló amigo,las condiciones de la naturaleza no estaban óptimas ,poca lluvia,poca profundidad,quizá esos peces hibernan por eso no viste ninguno,su capacidad de adaptación para sobrevivir los lleva a tomar estas estrategias,la naturaleza es sabía y tendrás que esperar que el clima se ponga más cálido.Habria que averigüar que tipo de peces son para saber sus características,su época de desove,apareamiento,si están en peligro de extinción .

Glad to know you like Chad Zuber too. Also sorry for yelling at you 9 years ago.
I was foolish and didn't know what I was doing and got sick because of it.
I was also thinking that pointing the trap downstream would be best since fish seem to prefer to swim into the current or side to side.
who asked?

took a break from school works, then saw Mr. Z's new vid...honestly want to escape civilization temporarily... and just listen to nature...
Any good fisherman knows the key to success is persistence and skill. Skill's....... Check. Time...... On your side. Keep it up. They will return.

I think you need some hens at the camp bro. You can feed them amaranth and bugs. Maybe you can raise some chicks this spring.
Hi, Chad! In Russia, we call such fish traps - versha. But usually bait is placed inside the trap. Preferably if it is a strong-smelling carrion.
Yes, hair will help when there are fish. I didn’t try hard because I knew that the fish had moved for the winter.
It's going to get hot again before you know it, and you'll need to stay hydrated and safe from the heat. While the weather is still permissible, and certain bigger projects are on standby, it may be worth your time to build a large water reservoir with a built-in filtration system close by. That way you'll always have clean water to drink on hand or before venturing out, and you could always replenish it with 1 or 2 large pots at the end of the day.
You need to build a v formation out of rocks and in the end of the v you put your trap right below it it funnels the fish into the trap but I would wait until spring for when the fish are moving more also love the videos 👍👍
Yep, the barrier needs to be the width of the river. It's a lot of work, at least an hour moving stones. Then he needs to open up the basket so it's like a thatched wall that allows water through but not fish, and hold it down with rocks, and cover the only flow through area.
@@-whackd the problem there is he will be catching more fish than he needs, and filling the basket
Another way you could try to catch them is fishing by hand.
What I mean is you go in deeper water on the edges of the river and fell under the rocks gently like you are trying to tickle the underside of the rock. The fish should stay calm as long as you move slowly and gently. After you feel a fish just position your hands one around the gills and the other near the tail and press it on the rock until you have a good grip on it.
I don't know if you will have success in the winter with this technique but it's worth a shot.
P.S. Love the vids and I hope you continue to make them!!!
Nice Chad! We may need to start learning your ways the way the world is going 😩🤦🏽♂️
It is best
Looking forward to seeing this trap catch a fish
I wish they would the Mohicans series into movies. Most people don't know there is more then one book. Anyways Chad would be perfect to play Hawkeye.
I never read those books. Who was Hawkeye?
@@ChadZuberAdventures He was also called a La Longue Carabine, or The Long Rifle. He was kind of a side character in ask the Mohicans. The book takes place during the French and Indian wars. I think there are 4 books that cover Most of Hawkeyes life. Not a bad read by fire light. Or in the shade of a tree by a stream. It's a mix of historic events and made up ones that could have happened.
YEA BUDDY!!!!
You are legend 👌👌
Boa tarde me apaixono a cada vídeo q assisto,estou maratonando seu vídeos aproveitando o feriado. Bjs continue sempre assim dando sempre o seu melhor mesmo q ñ de serto faz parte.
When you will beat the ender dragon my friend? We want to see that moment. Also.. amazing skills, purely. Such knowledge on surviving. U should try a few days here in eastern Europe forests. God bless you and keep up the good work.
I already ate the every ender dragon
Boooooom
Only 10 minutes:((. I just nee more of your awsome videos. They are amazing!! Hope for longer ones or more weekly uploads if posible! 😁🙂
8:36 I said “ YES CHADDY”
I have used baskets exactly like this in wilderness survival trips I have taken. I've found they work best for me at least in deeper water. But I was targeting catfish specifically. I hope this works for you. It's hard to survive without protein like meat.
hi, you should try to make a maze from rocks near the shore
i like this
hey chad you didn't fail, I also clearly doubt there will be fish trapped, you have to put a bait first in the trap so that the fish are attracted to the trap, you also have to know what type of fish is dominant in the river so you know the right bait for the fish, and also you have to leave the trap overnight or more
or indeed other factors like you said, there are times when rivers have fish populations that are very difficult to see, I hope you understand my opinion
Tu trampa no falló amigo,las condiciones de la naturaleza no estaban óptimas ,poca lluvia,poca profundidad,quizá esos peces hibernan por eso no viste ninguno,su capacidad de adaptación para sobrevivir los lleva a tomar estas estrategias,la naturaleza es sabía y tendrás que esperar que el clima se ponga más cálido.Habria que averigüar que tipo de peces son para saber sus características,su época de desove,apareamiento,si están en peligro de extinción .
Si, conocí los peces el año pasado y los observé mucho. Este es el primer invierno paso aquí. Por eso no sabia.
original proverb is 授人以鱼，不如授人以渔。鱼means fish，渔with氵，means tool for fishing😜
