Growing up in the jungle without running water or electricity will teach you how to live with very little and thrive. This channel will focus on jungle bushcraft, jungle edibles, lava, gear reviews, camping, Hawaiian bushcraft, homesteads and farms in Hawaii.
I changed my RU-vid channel name from H.I.S Survival.
Bro it's not Cacoa tree , that is part of its scientific name ....it's normal plant name is Cocoa ( Coco) plant. Please Google the Cocoa Research Centre for my country Trinidad and Tobago. Please use proper pronouciations......Cocoa
I've carried machetes in the bush for about 59 years Southeast Asia, Africa, Central & South America & Far North. Favorite is customized Tramontina I got in a trade with a Miskito Indian in Nicaragua. Have used many over the years. It's a primary tool.
I've never made chocolate but I have a small gripe with one thing in this video. NEVER use regular aluminum foil for chocolate! I've used Reynolds wrap foil on bars after opening them before and it tasted noticeably metallic after being stored a short while. I thought I was imagining things at first so I did it again, and sure enough it tasted of metal once again. The foil used in chocolate bar packaging is paper lined, or coated in something as a barrier. This prevents the chocolate from taking on unwanted flavors/odors, like it does in the fridge if not sealed air tight. Anyway great video though, very informative!
But how are you going to do a knife review if there's lava all over the floor?? The Esee 6 is my trusted buddy. You can have my girlfriend or my sister, but no way am I ever giving up my Esee 6, been through Hell and back with my knife and it has never failed me. This knife will be with me in my casket on the day that I die, and if someone takes it, I will haunt their ass! I meditate with this knife and although I have other knives, this is my go to knife. I used to think that Esee 6 looked like a kitchen knife but as I wa meditating and looking at the blade, it actually has the same blade shape as a machete but in smaller form which does make it very practical. I'm working on getting an junglas as my main chopper and my Esee 6 as my smaller knife because I loving chopping wood, maybe even getting an Izula to piggy back on my Esee 6.
Hey Gabe, Thanks for the Frog Lube testing and review - very helpful. I am getting ready to switch over from a petroleum-based product to Frog Lube because it is food safe and just safer overall to handle and get on my skin. I have a large knife collection and live in a humid, tropical environment, so I spend a good amount of time keeping my knives oiled up. I also appreciated your tip about not storing the knife in the sheath -especially a leather sheath. I was storing my knives outside the leather sheathes, but still putting them in the Kydex sheaths, but what you said made sense. By the way, what a BEAUTIFUL place to live WOW!
My parents had a cocoa farm in Malaysia 50 years ago. I am watching this coz I wanted to plant a few trees on my homestead so I can make my own cocoa powder. 😂
Thanks for the video. Do you have more? Where we can learn of what is needed to restore a road or a field that has lava? This is very interesting for all the affected people by the Vulcano in la Palma, Canary Island
I really appreciated watching the fermentation process. I wonder why kind of yeast and how much is used in the vinegar solution. It would be so cool to have a cocoa farm and also make wine out of the fruit, so cocoa farm and winery <3 :) Thanks for the video.
Hello from Florida! Thank you so much for the tip about leaving them on the cut branch to continue to ripen!! We have trouble with birds taking them if we let them tree- ripen to dark red! Grateful for the tip!!
