How to Get Lifesaving Water from an Agave Cactus 

After watching such videos, you understand how fast time flies and you try to imagine how many generations of people also sat on these stones while carrying out their life’s worries.

I don't know if anyone goes out into the wilderness with you on these trips but your videos always have that authentic "Survivorman" (one man and a camera) type feel to them. If that be the case then I'm imagining all the shots you do are very similar to how he does them. For example: finding a spot, setting up the shot with the camera, walking back or forth to get footage of you walking either to or from an area and then going back to get the camera and setting up the next shot doing this several times on your way to the destination, rinse and repeat. Appreciate 🙌

I really like your videos. They make me fantasize about living like this instead of being in the city madness. I have some survival training and experience and totally appreciate how time consuming and hard it is to live this way. However, it is very rewarding at the same time. Agave are one of my favorite plants because they are so useful for cordage and for food. I eat the flowers all the time when I'm hiking or backpacking in southern California. They are very tasty. As you likely already know, the native Americans would dig up the plant and roast it for food. The local Kumeyaay are starting to bring back this tradition and are doing annual roasts. Keep the entertaining videos coming!

Your videos have a very high frequency from beginning to end, and watching them purifies me🙏Thank you

Glad to see native man on RU-vid. I value their opinion because they know how to survive in a harsh environment. I saw the way he saw the Cactus leaf which telling me he knows what he is doing.

I wouldn't last a second in your shoes, but I watch because I appreciate the nature around you

Been watching a lot of building shelters and thinking I could live in these. What I really enjoy about Chad is he shows the survival after the build ❤❤❤

I don’t really care whether agave is a cactus or not- that juice looked really life saving in the desert! I’d definitely drink it! I’m going to the desert in a few days- I’ll remember this video if I get stuck, - thank you!

This is awesome Chad thank you for the knowledge. I'm glad to see you're still enjoying life after all this time. Looking forward to the next lesson 🤙

Man, I gotta say bro, your cinematography has improved a lot over the years, and you were already a pretty great cameraman/visual director. That 1st person shot was really cool, and very well done.

Thanks Chad you give me peace over troubled times, all the best to you and your family ✨💖✨

I really like the spot you choose to cook and rest. So nice.

Yup I'd definitely drink that, if the old people were smart enough to use it to help them survive and thrive in that environment anyone would be a fool to ignore them. I love the fact that you showed us the mortar holes, what an incredible people they must have been. It's also really interesting to learn about the different processes and plants especially because I'm on the other side of the planet, and I live in what's considered the harshest environment in southern New Zealand but it doesn't hold a candle to this environment. Thanks again Chad for taking time to show us another fascinating video 👍👋

Thank you and yes i would stay blessed

Chad's muscles shook as he sawed the bone sample, very impressed by Chad's brother's body. Hope you have a wonderful week.

Beautiful Day Chad🌄 Thankyou as Always for your wonderful Traditional Dinë knowledge masi cho

Thank you again for a wonderful video. I live in a cold climate and we are waiting for spring. Tomorrow we are expecting a snow storm. So it is nice to have some escapism by looking at your beautiful desert condition. It’s lovely to see that the spring is there already!

Loves your skills in this adventure of life Newbie

That is awesome how you extracted the water and i was surprised at the quantity of water received.I know enough to not starve to death here in the south, but it would be a grim existence for me. Thanks for the lesson and i look forward to more.

A very sincere and beautiful video. Thank you for your efforts❤❤

I love ur videos always good to know how to manage in extreme conditions.

Chad, outstanding video and another good skill to have. Thank you.

Awesome video Thanks for sharing. God bless. ❤❤❤

Admiro su conocimiento. Congratulations 😊

This is a very beautiful place for a nice and quiet relaxation.

This video was particulary beautiful, original and informative! Well done!

I really love this type of thing and I really enjoy 😊🤗

I've seen many of your videos Chad. Your survival skills and knowledge is extraordinary. Very interesting to watch. Wonder if you would think about giving seminars to small groups or individuals and actually take people on trips like this and teach them to use these skills. Making your own bricks out of clay and then building a structure as well as the ways you cook and trap food.. amazing

Ah mor vëlla,që të jetosh në Natyrë,për mua është shumë e vështirë. Për Ty mund të jetë e lehtë,që të Jetosh,se ke lindur në atë zonë,dhe kupton gjithçka,ka ka në Natyrë,kush duhet për të grënë,e cila është e keqe. Por të falenderoj ,për këtë vidio shumë të Bukur. Dhe e lexova në gjuhën Shqip. Shëndet e lumturi,e Mbrojtje të dhëntë Zoti,e të Bekoftë Amen.

This desert looks beautiful. It must host interesting plants. I grow up in a south-east Asia country so things are pretty wet/humid.

Thanks for the sharing this knowledge. However, if I am really thirsty, I can't wait to do all that work.

Thanks for survival tips....

Another excellent video. The flowers are so beautiful and seeing how you get water from the Agave leaf is interesting. My "hubby" heard the sound of scraping and asked if you were scratching a lottery ticket. I told him in the desert, survival us kind of like a lottery.

another great video, can't wait to see what you do with the palm fruit

I have the same Agave at home! So awesome!

When I have free time I always go in forest like your video also. but 1 month I have free only on day forwalk in forest and cooking. I also like your video. Good Video .

Thanks for the valuable information

Perfect work !

thank you... another enjoyable video

Claro que lo bebería en una situación de supervivencia amigo,muchas gracias por esta enseñanza,está hermoso el desierto con sus plantas floridas y frutos👏👏🙌💪🔥

The area you are moving in looks so nice 🤩

Great video. Chad is TOP. 😀🖖👍

Hi Professor. It was an interesting video, thank you🍁🍁🍁

Since I live in the desert this was nice to know. I will have to try the palm fruit. We make agave tea which is supposedly healthy.

The great desert hides many resources, mysteries and legends 🇮🇨🇪🇸👍

Great vid Tarzan and that looks pretty tasty too keep on grinding and making great content

Yes I will drink it. Amazing video!❤

Hi Chad. I'm from Mexico... I've been watching your videos for several years now, but this is the first time I've left you a comment. and well, I really enjoy each of your videos. How I would love to be able to live your primitive form. It would certainly be extraordinary... Without a phone, taking everything away, it would be wonderful to be able to experience that. I've always wondered what it would be like to spend a night in your hut. It would certainly be wonderful. Greetings friend. And sorry if my english is not very good.😊

You did a great job. I like your videos. I admire talented people

Excelente video esto si que es una experiencia fantastica, y no como otros videitos con carpas modernas tecnologia etc.Saludis desde Perú.

Admiro su conocimiento!🦋

Surviving nowadays becomes a hobby👍👍 keep safe and God bless you 🙏🙏🙏💕

Amazing video!❤ Chad, how do you keep your skin from aging from the sun?

Please. Make tips for survival I'm from ksa I love your videos

It was a great harvest Hnnn Well i remembered something You have once harvested these palm a long time ago in your past journeys . You also used these fruits in your recipes I think you made a cake 🎂 Aahhhh , old memories always gives pleasure

Beautiful scenery want to live 🤩

I Learned several new things! Really enjoyed seeing the mortar holes made by ancient peoples! Are there other signs of earlier habitation? As well, what does the date fruit taste like? Thanks for another quality video!

When I was younger, we found a big burn midden in the Guadalupe mtns. Turns out natives were using them to cook hundreds of agave hearts. Specifically it was lechuguilla agave. Very useful plant.

It fascinates me how tribes came to discover this process in order to be able to eat something that is harmful in principle Great Video & Great Channel Saludos desde España

God bless you 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏

Isn't it beautiful how nature provides? I love that.

Pretty amazing.

MASHALLAH IT WAS A GREAT BISTERS, GOOD LUCK

Really your videos getting back to our roots. What is your location ? Byron / East Texas

Όποιο βίντεο σου και να δω από εμένα παίρνεις πάντα θετική ψήφο σε ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ να είσαι πάντα καλά ο Θεός μαζί σου

Aprendi algo novo sobre sobrevivência.👏👍

excellent

good information that we should put in practice in case of an emergency.

Spring is beautiful, I suggest collecting as much green grass around the house as you can, chop it up and throw it into the compost pile. During the trip, collect more desert plants and plant shrubs, grass, if you get desert trees near the house. This will help retain moisture in the soil and will provide shade and protection from the heat.

Experiences of survival skills will be used in the right time. I learned how to survive in the jungle, and 40 years ago, I drove the little boat to cross the Pacific Ocean to escape from the Communist regim in Vietnam. I survived so easily 3 months at the island that has a wild environment . Now I am in Canada.

EXCELENTE... Obvio q é Trabalhoso MAS, Compensador!! Já necessitei Ingerir Água Barrenta 100Tratamento algum....e, TôMuitoVivo!!! Valeuuuuuu!!! 💪💪💯👍😎

Hah! That face you made at 15:10 when you realized you were out of water, that was too good.

good as always

Hello brothers! I'm Alex and I live in a cave and I'm showing this but this guy is a total hottie, better videos than mine. 🧡

Wow ! Quả là hành trình rèn luyện bản thân

So great

Damn right man!

Not sure if it is a good tip but you could consider making a small foldable chair or step ladder for when you need to reach high places. It might be useful when you're foraging from trees and tall bushes.

Hello, your video content is very good and meaningful. Please continue and try harder. Wishing you success❤

Esse cara é foda mano!!

If I ever travel again lol, I think I might like the dessert in the spring

Спасибо за интересное и полезное видео)

Big fan from indo 🤟😎

Cameraman NEVER dies 😅

Rally great video

Great video👍👍

😂 I was like where’s the water, wow love these survival tricks.

Those palms have very fluffy trunks

Something tells me it tastes like grass scented soap. I'd be more inclined to make juice/tea from the berries. lol I'm loving all the blooms!

wow 10/10 would recommend. Looks like vitamin water lol

Agave is not a cactus, not in the plant family Cactaceae. It is in the Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoidae.

You are really very strong man I have been watching you from so many years 🙏🙏🙏 Me too I have a vlog channel hope to get success soon 🙏
