Best Primitive Survival Food: Acorn Mush: (Season 2, episode 9) Chad Zuber 2023-10-29 | The acorn (Quercus) is the best wild edible survival food in this region during the fall months but it must be properly prepared for consumption. These bitter nuts are readily available on many species of oak trees which are common throughout this region. It's a food that can simply be collected from the ground or trees. After grinding it into a flour and leaching it of the bitter tannins it becomes a tasty and nutritious food that native tribes relied on for centuries.In this video I take you on the full journey of collecting, processing and cooking acorns in the totally primitive way and the result was delicious. Acorns have been a part of my diet for years and every year I anxiously await for the harvest season to begin. Tell me about your experience with acorns in the comments section below.My social media links:Instagram @chadzuberofficialFacebook @ChadZAdventureIf you want a good pair of all terrain adventure sandals then you can help support this channel by following this link to get your own Luna Sandals.

Discovering my Primitive Artifact 4 Years Later...and a rattlesnake Chad Zuber 2024-05-26 | While exploring areas that have a history of native culture I am always looking for clues to their past existence. Often I find mortar holes which provide evidence that a site was used for the processing of wild food and often for gathering of wild foods too. In this video I revisit the site where I placed a clay pot with pumpkin seeds four years earlier to experience a little of what it may have been like when people long ago left items hidden away in small caves or elsewhere. Along the way I pass a rattlesnake and find palm fruit to eat.Protect your feet while allowing them to be free with my favorite sandals:Luna Sandals are the original sandals that I've worn on my adventures: lunasandals.com/?rfsn=102280.45562&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=102280.45562My social media links:Instagram @chadzuberofficialFacebook @ChadZAdventureDrums of the Deep by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0

Primitive Trick to Get Drinking Water in the Desert Chad Zuber 2024-05-05 | Don't do what I do unless you are in a real survival situation or you are prepared to deal with potential consequences. I have consumed raw wild water in many places and only one time did I ever get a very mild case of diarrhea and that happened in a river that passed through several towns in Mexico. I have consumed water from springs and streams in deserts, mountains and coasts many times without any other treatment to it but I don't recommend it and I know there are potential risks. However, I am willing to take the chances in order to prepare my body to be tolerant of bacterias and pathogens and to gain more primitive survival confidence in the wild. In this video I show how the nature can provide the basic resources necessary to keep you alive if you should run out of water. Sometimes water can be found in the desert at the base of mountains. Just find a sandy or rocky wash and follow it up. Look for areas that are unusually green. If you find moisture you can usually dig down and create a small pool to collect this vital fluid.

How to Get Lifesaving Water from an Agave Cactus Chad Zuber 2024-04-17 | In the desert water is often the number one survival priority. If there is no river or spring then what can you do to get water? Cactuses retain large amounts of water inside of them but that water is often mixed with toxic compounds that can cause more harm than good if you consume them. But there is a way to get safe drinking water from certain species of cactus. In this video I'll show you how to get water to drink from one of those species.

Solar Eclipse Friction Fire with Yucca Transport (4.08.2024) Chad Zuber 2024-04-09 | Solar Eclipse is an excellent time to connect with nature during such an amazing natural phenomenon. Today, as the eclipse was maximizing, I produced an ember by friction fire using the hand drill method with a mule fat spindle on parry nolina stalk. A piece of a dry yucca leaf was used to catch the ember. Pounded palm fiber was used as the tinder bundle. After blowing the ember into flames I used the dry piece of a chaparral yucca stalk to light like a torch. The inside of the yucca stalk is soft like punk wood and will smolder for a long time thus allowing one to conveniently transport fire to another location. A row of holes must be made into the stalk so that air flow will keep the material burning inside. To make a new fire the inside of the burning yucca stalk can be scraped to loosen the hot coals and then added to a new tinder bundle and then ignited. Rufo enjoyed being my companion on this little adventure. Always be very careful with fire and only practice these skills in a safe environment.Please subscribe and comment with questions or observations.

Firing the Biggest Clay Pot I ever made Chad Zuber 2024-04-03 | This adobe brick kiln works well to fire pottery. I recently made this large pot from raw earth sourced in the pit next to my hut. This pot will be used to collect and store water.The process for firing this pottery is simple. 1) I place some wood and kindling in the kiln.2) Then I light it with hot coals collected from the fireplace in my hut.3) I allow all the wood to burn down.4) Then I push the coals and ash away from the middle and place two bricks in the center of the kiln. 5) I place the pot on the bricks.6) I stack dry branches of wood all around the pot.7) The hot coals will slowly catch fire and soon all the wood will be engulfed in flames.8) The fire will burn for about 30 minutes. 9) The next day after the fire burns out the pottery can be removed from the kiln.Please subscribe and comment with questions or observations.

Rock Dam and Ollas to Grow Garden in Desert (episode 3.3) Chad Zuber 2024-03-31 | The key to successful crops in the desert is water retention in the soil. I'm planning to grow corn, squash, and beans in this arid land. My hut and garden area are on a slope. Strategically building a small dam to collect water as it flows down the slope will help to collect more water in the garden area. Other strategies will also be employed such as the use of biochar, compost, and heavy mulching.

Making a Primitive Yucca Hammock - The only one that exists? (Season 2, episode 7) Chad Zuber 2023-10-15 | For thousands of years people of primitive cultures made hammocks for sleeping. In Mexico sisal was used to make Maya hammocks. The benefits of a hammock is that they can be used in small spaces, they are above the ground and keep people safe from insects, scorpions and snakes, they are ideal in hot climates, and they can easily be stored or carried. In this video I show a traditional technique used by the Maya to weave a hammock but instead of sisal I use yucca cordage that I harvested and rolled myself.

Use my gift code FISHWITHCHAD to get a $20 reward, and share your biggest catch in the pinned comment!Primitive fishing teaches patience and the reward for that patience is a delicious meal that has greater value. Adding the abundance of wild fruit to the regional gastronomy makes the meal even that much better.The fishing rod is made of a branch from a currant bush. The eyes of the rod are made of clay and tied to the branch with yucca cordage. The fishing line is made of 50% yucca fibers and 50% my hair. The sliding sinker is just a clay bead I made. And the hook is an ocotillo cactus thorn. To cook the fish I created a friction fire using the bow drill method with unknown materials. I burned branches for about half an hour until there was a nice bed of hot coals then I made a grill by cross weaving split green willow branches. I placed the grill with the whole gutted fish over the coals and allowed it to cook for about twelve minutes. I flipped it over one time during the cooking process.

This day was my birthday and I spent it alone here at the Hut collecting wild edibles and working on my hammock. The weather is hot in the day and the nights warm and comfortable. Manzanita berries are especially delicious when prepared as a tea. Have you eaten manzanita before?My social media links:Instagram @chadzuberofficialFacebook @ChadZAdventureIf you want a good pair of all terrain adventure sandals then you can help support this channel by following this link to get your own Luna Sandals.

Jungle Survival: Tips for Safe Drinking Water Chad Zuber 2023-08-02 | Stop data brokers from exposing your information. Go to my sponsoraura.com/chadzuber to get a 14-day free trial and see if your personal information has been compromised.In my opinion keeping the body hydrated is the number one priority in warm climates. I can go days on little food but dehydration quickly leaves me weak and lethargic. However, it is critically important that the water be safe to drink or else you could suffer dehydration and physical weakness due to the effects of dysentery or other water-borne illness. Wild water is just that - water found in nature. Springs, rain and coconuts are my favorite sources. When drinking from springs I look for springs where I believe the water has filtered through the earth. The longer the water has travelled through the earth the better. Rain water can be collected in leaves, coconut shells, depressions in rocks or other places that are clean. Stream and river water can be risky unless you know the source and are confident that there is no source of contamination along its course. To be sure it is best to boil stream and river water. A container is needed to hold the water and then the container can be placed on a fire or hot rocks placed in the water to cook it. In this video I explore some techniques to acquire safe drinking water in a tropical forest.Please subscribe and leave a comment.

Primitive Yucca Bullwhip - Does it compare to Indiana Jones whip? (Season 2, episode 3) Chad Zuber 2023-07-19 | Can this primitively-made yucca leaf bullwhip compare to the whip used by Indiana Jones? Ever since I watched the very first Indiana Jones movie I have always wondered if it is actually possible to use a whip to do what he does in the movie. In this video I make my own primitive version of Indie's whip with yucca leaves to test out the strength of this simple tool.Please subscribe and leave a comment.

Primitive Yucca Cordage Hammock - Part 1 (Season2, episode 2) Chad Zuber 2023-06-22 | For many years I've wanted to make a yucca cordage hammock and I have gradually made and collected several hundred feet of yucca cordage. A hammock made of natural fibers is a very primitive yet comfortable bed for a good night's sleep or an afternoon nap. But I need a lot more than just cordage to make a hammock. In this video I take you through all the steps in acquiring natural tools and materials in order to begin the weaving process.Please subscribe and leave a comment.
