Extreme Primitive Desert Survival: Food Preservation 

It must take so long to get all the camera angles, especially making it flow so well! It makes the videos so much better, thank you for your hard work producing high quality free videos for everyone and anyone to watch!! ❤😊

This great video is extremely educational. And at the same time, it has a smooth plot and a beautiful desert environment. I'm happy to pay for quality content. Thanks for this video. 😀🖖👍

It's really interesting to me, to see how different cultures did things like preserving food, making tools and other everyday-use objects, architecture. Thank you, for sharing this knowledge with us.

Здравствуйте Чад. Смотрю ваши видео уже несколько лет. Большое спасибо вам за ваш труд. Я понимаю как сложно в одиночку снять и смонтировать такой полноценный фильм. И Это действительно здорово видеть как в гармонии могут существовать человек и природа. P.S. Не стригите ваши красивые волосы пожалуйста)) С длинными волосами вы выглядите очень хорошо, да я понимаю как это неудобно иногда)) А попробуйте просто заколоть их прямым гладким заточенным с конца прутиком ( как карандаш). Нужно сдегка скрутить волосы в жгут, неплотно, собрать сзади в круглый бублик и сверху вниз пронзить насквозь , зацепив волосы вне бублика, так 1 прутик и в другом направлении вставить еще 1 прутик. Это не сложно. После нескольких попыток поймете принцип)) Очень удобно и волосы не мешают. Для большего антуража можно использовать гладкую прямую косточку)) или прутик с примотанным на конце пером! Примитивная бижутерия!😊

I'm finding mental peacefulness in your videos ❤

Come i nativi ,compliment ,vita unica speciale,simbiosi con la meravigliosa natura

Thanks!

Good morning! You're up early. I am glad to see another informative and interesting post from you. Are the Barrel cactus useful for food or water? Once you get the spines off. I never knew there were yellow Prickly Pear. See? Ya done taught me somethin'. 😂😂 Maybe the cactus spines could be used as sewing needles?

Just subbed. Been watching and in awe of your knowledge and fortitude to actually live it. Keep it up Chad, great content dude, some of the best in this category in existence.

Such a good job that you did, thank for the video Chad, we appreciate your work. Blessings to you. 😊

Chad have you thought about putting a wall around your encampment, this would cut down the winds and then in the day it would heat up and at night releaseing the heat around the home by a few degrees , making it a more comfortable space. 🙏🇬🇧

great work Chad. The baskets are impressive.

Мне нравятся ваши видео. Спасибо за ваши усилия.

Tu es connecté a dame nature et tu en fait des chef-d'œuvres au milieu de ce lieu naturel avec simplement ton savoir créatif ,tu émanes une énergie Divine ancrée au coeur de la terre ...Tu es unique 🙏🙏💫

Thanks for feeding the hungry fellow traveller's Chad..gr8 vid as usual

respect, bro. really well done. i know the work that's needed just for the acorn flour. gathering and processing these quantities of food is really a great job 👍

رائع العيش لبعض الوقت في البرية والاعتماد على المصادر الطبيعية عمل رائع انت رجل شجاع تشاد🌸🌺

These are the lessons that need to be taught! Thanks Zube master, Chad

the effort you put into the capations is incredible

Yummy fruits😋wow Nice job!!

When you first showed the cholla at the beginning my thought went to how long before he has one on him lol. I’ve had a few encounters with those things, they HURT! Awesome video on how you use the desert to preserve food! Enjoyed it!!!

Thank you for your hard work and an outstanding content.

it was so entertained, as well as funny - prickly pears everywhere 😁 even at the top of the cactae 😆 It would be great to film that little burglar who did eat it from cactus.

Thank you for this video .My soul loves it .Peace ,silence ,authenticity,colors of the fruits …(did you decide to be mute now ? Why not ..)Very precious moment for me .Thank you for sharing your beauty and intelligence.From France.

❤The desert ❤your panoramic views.

Wow, Chad sir, it has been a lot since I saw one of your videos, I've just catched up with all episodes of season 2 and love them, and this video its so awesome, take me as your pupil jejeje ❤

😮chollas😂 yeah they look like a fun thing I'm glad we don't have in southern New Zealand 😂 great video really interesting and worth the watch, epic effort Thanks Chad for all the hard work filming and editing so we can enjoy and learn👋😆

Great job here tarzan you nailed it keep on grinding

Video tuyệt vời và chất lượng, thật sự cảm ơn anh chad đã tích cực ra những video hoang dã này ❤❤❤

Amazing,, very nice🎉

ODLIČAN VIDEO POZDRAV IZ HRVATSKE 😊

طريقة حفظ ثمار البلوط أو الصباح أو اي نوع من الثمار المتوفرة بالتجفيف ممتازة لكن يجب جمع كميات كبيرة لان فصل الشتاء طويل كنت عند اهلي اعمل بتجفيف الخضراوات بكميات كبيرة❤

The best video❤❤❤

Happy Sunday ❤ to you Chad

Grata por compartilhar, isso sim é de grande valia.😊

Nice video ,I like nature video Thank you for showing nature scenes. Swati Mumbai lndia

I loved your funny reel about the nuts and fruit on Instagram!!

This man should have hes own movie or something

That's a great harvest of wild edibles. Perhaps a net type of bag can be made to put the larger food items into, and they can be hung to dry in the wind and the sun, so animals can't get to them? Or maybe something with a grid system of suspended sticks, sort of like a table would work? This was awesome. Cheers, Chad! ✌️

Maripa fruits ... Exelent ... I discovered it french guyana

Hello. I know your hair is short now, but when it grows out, there's a way to tie your hair in a bun without a rubber band. I do this and it stays on all day. You need to grab all the hair near your head with your left hand, and with your right hand, place the outer side under the ponytail near your head. Then grab your hair with your right hand and twist it to create a loop. Twist the remaining hair as if making a string and wrap it around the head around this loop. Once all the hair is wrapped, put the bun through the loop and you're done. You can look for it - a bun without pins and elastic bands. 👋🙂

aren't the flies spoiling it by laying eggs or something ?

Seus vídeos são espetaculares. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho.

I hope your knee is okay. Be careful and stay away from the cactuses unless you cut them and cut off the spikes for the cactus food.

Amazing👍

ở đây cảnh đẹp như thiên đường, chúc anh trai Chad luôn hạnh phúc nhé.

Chad, if I were you, I would make another basket to cover the fruits and tie up the edge you dry in the sun up the hill. So they would not be eaten during the night time ( at least be eaten less and protect your harvest )..... In this you can carry them back to your camp much easier as the drying fruits are " locked up " in between the baskets.

amazing

Thanks

1 season and a dozen episodes into a second and it finally happened, a cactus decided it wanted a piece of you! Im flabbergasted that its honestly been this long to get a random annoying spikey hitchiker considering the amount of time you have spent in and around cacti to harvest their fruits. Good thing you have those thick hide pants, one of best things you started this series with. Also on a side note, im kind of surprised that you havent "bushwacked" a safe trail around the areas you frequent often. I understand wanting to leave everything untouched and pristine, but it might still be a good idea to remove one or 2 of those pesky cacti from that drying area if you plan on using it again later on with any regularity. Id hate to see you get hurt from something thats preventable, especially after that all be it small encounter.

I swear this is just a video of Chad playing with cacti. Kinda jealous to be honest. 😂 I wonder if you could use the needles on the cactus you had the fruit on and make a kind of primitive comb to help look after your hair? Maybe you could glue them onto a piece of wood with some pitch or something like that? Maybe blunt the needles on a rock so you don't accidentally hurt yourself while using it too. I'm not sure if it's actually something that was made back then but it could be fun to try out.

Sensacional seus vídeos e aventuras parabéns

มันเป็นอะไรที่สุดยอดมาก👍😁🌵

I usually never write thing in the chat ever. But today is different. I came back to your channel after so many years it feels like ages already but here I am (subbed even). I am currently dreaming to have that kind of experience as you do but in a more asian style because I am asian myself. Anyways, love your content!

Chad, I have 2 questions. 1, What kind of oak are those acorns? They are the largest I've ever seen, 2. I noticed that the "barrel" cactus had some cactus fruits growing on it. Are these fruits edible? These food preservation videos are quite interesting. Great job. ;-)

Excelente paisaje desiertico Felicitaciones por su canal RU-vid muy educativo Chad feliz año nuevo 2024 Espylo pasarás Pur a vida 🌎🌴🇨🇷

13:02 could you theoretically use cactus thorns as a needle?

What do you use camera video?

another upload :D

Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤

maybe do the fruit crushing in a bowl? the lost juices were killing me inside lol

My goodness those acorns are huge!

Cool

Chad can you use this willow for medicine? Like white willow?

Seems to me you'd be better off building a smoker and just drying the fruit over the fire at night Smoke will preserve your food even more, and nothing's going to eat it in there. You won't have to run up and down the mountain, either. If you've got a campfire going at night anyways, why not?

A question, as I'm new to your channel. Drying fruit, no problem, but the flies, maggots, germs?

Chat, next time you need to confine your hair but don't have a thong, consider twisting and coiling your hair in a bun, then using two thin green (for flexibility) twigs to skewer your hair, one across near the bottom and one across near the top. Weaving them gently in-and-out as you push them through your hair, this will combine with the twist-rolled hairs to help secure it in place. A lot of people might complain that this is "too feminine" a hairstyle, but honestly, I don't think our ancient ancestors cared one way or other. So long as it gets your hair out of the way, it's all good!

How do you record all these videos?

Tu ere genial me encta tu video❤😅

Hi Chad! Is it possible to set up a camera trap? It would be interesting to see how the animals climbed the cactus. :-=)

I have a question... Don't you get bored sometimes, and if so , what do you do to pass the time if your not making videos and stuff

Where does the video start that's walking distance from such a climatic shift?

🤔Se podría separar la pulpa de la tuna ,de la semilla,luego como está seca se puede hidratar y comer, si se deja remojando en agua y con las semillas hacer harina de tuna.Buen vídeo amigo🤲👏💪🔥

What a lot of people don't know about dehydration as a method of preservation is that you have to avoid 'case hrdening.' That's when the outer surface dries far faster than the interior, trapping moisture inside. Case hardening is usually discussed in context of meats being dried into jerky, but fruits also count. When Chad is crushing those prickly pear fruits, he is breaking up the harder exteriors, creating cracks for inner moisture to escape through. If you don't break up the exterior quickly enough to ensure that the inner moisture also escapes, you could develop mold problems, or worse, create a harmful bacterial breeding ground deep inside the food tissues, both of which can lead to food poisoning. One way to avoid case hardening is to ensure that the food to be dried is very thin, which allows much of the moisture to escape before the exterior hardens too much. But sometimes that's just not easy, so you have to keep a constant eye on whatever ti is. In Chad's case, he doesn't really have access to easy, precise cutting tools. Smashing the fruit before and during the drying process is one viable way of helping ensure it dries properly. (As always, do your own research and calculate your risks for your own situation. Most governments have Recommended Food Safety Practices that folks can look up & follow, including for primitive/low-tech food preservation methods, which I do recomend to others--I'm an enthusiast, not an expert, lol; I look up stuff all the time, too!)

So is this a start of a new location for a hut?

See you again chad zuber🎉😊

Chad, have you never met a person on your adventures whether in the desert, forest or spring?

bạn ở cách xa túp lều không tôi thích bạn quay cảnh túp lều

So are you preserving the prickly pear seeds to grow more or make a sort of flour?

@6:00 you did make the cactus safe for animals though.

That Cholla was huge man. It's like an entire cactus got stuck in your pants leg.

you could use the red prickly pears for a healthy drink

Is there a specific reason you don’t drink the juice?

Вождь совсем отощал на желудях то! Пора идти в набег на форт бледнолицых, или в прерии валить бизона😅

I'm curious what about flies and insects. Do they plant some larva/eggs or just have a snack? In first case I would hesitate to eat that. In second case I'll forgive them. :-)

I don’t think it was mice or rats that ate the fruit on the barrel cactus, but nocturnal birds , bats, owls ?

Como andas con esas sandalias tan simples en ese desierto tan peligroso , que loco !!

Satisfatório

Olá amigo. A quanto tempo não recebia notificações do seu canal

Esto donde es desierto de mohave saludos brother 🇮🇨🇪🇸🐐

❤❤❤

Hi Chad 😊 I am From India Odisha

❤️❤️❤️🐾🐕

acorns so much work to process I'd stick to Pinion Nuts personally

I remember eating an acorn as a kid o a whim. Never again. At the time I had no idea they were bitter and that could all be washed out and ground up.

Esse teu deserto tem muitas árvores

Invistes me!🙋‍♀️

Hey Chad! What a cool backpack basket you made! Doesn't that rope hurt your forehead?
