Primitive Fishing Oven Baked Chub (Season 2, episode 11) 

Actually that is not true at all. Using even a steel saw to cut this juniper would take way more time than just simply smashing it on a rock. Trust me, I know this from experience. A stone tool can cut live green juniper branches but the dry dead ones are really hard to cut but explode upon impact.

Yeah, that's a good point. I should bring the burden basket and get a load. First I could dry it in the sun so it doesn't weigh so much. Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even think of that.

I've never used a band-aid in the wild. I get cuts often but I just wash them off and that's it. However, I have made a natural bandage for other people when they cut a finger. I used a medicinal plant leaf to cover the wound and then wrapped it with cordage. Once in the Amazon I used a palm leave to wrap a guy's wound on his finger.

Thank you!!

Me too. But I want to get an animal first.

I haven't tried a bobber here. I should next time.

This one is made of giant cane but bamboo obviously works just as well.

Maybe. It's just a question of the time required to make. The hammock took me about 250 hours. There is so much other tasks that are of higher importance to me.

Thank you very much

Huh??? I never copied anyone's intro music/style. I don't even watch Survivorman. I don't know what his show intro is like. I don't copy anyone. I don't even watch other "survivor" videos. By the way, you're bound to find the same music in many other videos. It's not exclusive content. Anyone can use the music available in the RU-vid studio. I change or modify my intro style now and then as I try to keep people interested in watching. If people don't watch then there is no reason to make videos.

Dude he never copied anyone's style at all. His original survival man tune song is so catchy and majestic. What are you even on about??

Thank you! Thank you!

I first learned about hammocks in Mexico and they totally make sense.

@@ChadZuberAdventures 😍😍

I would smoke fish if I had a large quantity of them. When comparing different survival channels it's also important to consider the naturally available materials. For instance, a lot of people have suggested that I use bamboo and I inform them that bamboo doesn't grow here. I'm not in southeast Asia. And here all of the available wood is curved, twisted, crooked branches which are very difficult to use for construction. And I'm also working alone. A lot of channels have a crew behind-the-scenes to help do most of the building projects. I don't.

True. That is why I like this channel. Gives a real view into how people lived long ago.@@ChadZuberAdventures

Oui, j'ai aussi lu cela à propos du cresson. Je pense que cela dépend aussi beaucoup de l'emplacement. Certains endroits peuvent probablement contenir des douves du foie et d'autres non.

@@ChadZuberAdventures Bonjour Chad Je vous remercie d'avoir pris le temps de répondre. Effectivement, vous avez raison cela dépend des endroits sans doute des lieux infectés par les fèces d'animaux. Sans doute par ceux des moutons principalement il me semble, à vérifier. Cette rivière vous apporte un petit supplément de nouveautés culinaires c'est appréciable. Et je sais que vous prenez vos précautions et faites attention à votre santé. Je vous suis depuis un certain temps déjà à travers vos vidéos.

@@patriciahenry3317 Merci beaucoup pour votre bénédiction. Oui, il m’est parfois arrivé de prendre des risques et de manger des choses potentiellement nocives. J'ai également consommé de l'eau provenant de sources douteuses. Il s'agit en grande partie de tester la résistance de mon corps. À mon avis, il vaut mieux avoir une forte résistance que d’être simplement extrêmement prudent.

@@ChadZuberAdventures Oui effectivement j'avais vu votre vidéo au sujet de cette eau dormante. Votre travail sur votre hamac était remarquable et fastidieux. Votre sommeil est sans doute amélioré. Mais n'avez vous pas peur de tomber en plein sommeil ? Je vous souhaite le meilleur. 💐💐💐❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐

Thanks for sharing all this wonderful information! I really like the strength and smooth texture of cordage that I make from yucca fibers and my hair. I haven't shared much about this in my videos but I've collected a lot of my hair over the years and have made over 200 feet of cordage with it. I realize how valuable it must have been to native peoples and I can envision them collecting and using it too. I've made bowstrings successfully from just yucca fibers. They are pretty strong but I should try waxing them like you said.

Thank you

Ancient people were extremely strong and you can still see that in people that live in primitive cultures today.

Gracias amiga

Thanks so much!

Murphy's law, right?

Ultimately it won't matter. Fishing with a line is for fun. You can't sustain yourself like this. He's just making videos, not surviving on it. The calories from the fish will barely cover the work to get it.

depends on the fishing spot plus technique and tools and then some luck, of course. We used to fish with lines and sustain a family of 6 from it when I was a kid. On some days we caught so much, that we had some to keep in the freezer. Soleily through fishing, it's not sustainable long term, that I agree with. But it does help.@@MrBottlecapBill

​@@MrBottlecapBillbut he never claimed to survive solely on the single chub he caught. he just wanted to show how he cooked (and later ate) it. I know previously he's made fruit rolls out of cactus fruit, he's had a garden he harvested from, he brings small amounts of food with him which he's shown and explained. You're making assumptions based on a single 17min video. I find that odd. Whilst I don't know one way or the other about whether fishing like this is sustainable long term (I don't fish), I think it's wrong to make assumptions about his "surviving" vs "just making videos".

There is a saying that I heard many years ago. It goes like this - ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME. There are lots of things about me that people assume when they really know very, VERY little about me and very little about this place where I built my hut. If one were to spend a week doing what I do out here then they would have a totally different perspective.

I'm impressed how good the hammock turned out too. I was nervous that it wouldn't be strong enough but it's much stronger than I expected.

LEAVE, you things are NOT welcome.

Большое спасибо чувак

I sprinkled water on it, that's all.

Que bueno amigo! Bendiciones para ti.

Only re***ds use 'lol'.

Thank you. I appreciate your appreciation. I think the little things like giving thanks is so important. Even when I cut a yucca leaf I always thank the plant and bless it.

Saya terkadang berenang di sungai ini. Misalnya lokasi saya memancing yang dalam dan bagus untuk berenang.

I believe he has explained before he doesn’t like to kill animals, I also assume that would be a problem with RU-vid. That’s why a lot of times he will do things with meat he brings to the camp.

@@jakeozoneone Not killing animals is the exact opposite of any traditional or useful survival technique lol. It's the youtube rules and of course.......he's just making videos not actually surviving. There's no way he's maintaining that muscle mass on beans and water cress lol.

​@@MrBottlecapBillonly re***ds use 'lol'.

our rabbit and Jackrabbit population has declined greatly here in the last 6 years it might be the same where he is . plus youtube gets its panties in a wad over some huntings and farming stuff

​@@solidsnakesimulation666I see, so are you then.

Yes, of course. I would just need another 1500 feet of cordage and 200 hours to do it!

That sounds really good and no, I haven’t found any wild allium in this area.

I don’t know

Yes, there are many options. There aren't a lot of wild animals out here so it would be very challenging.

It seems that it is difficult to continue working with this situation and the videos may become repetitive. My opinion is to get another place like a mountain or a virgin forest and go to the catching,hunting challenges there.@@ChadZuberAdventures

Yes, I actually have done that with other greens. I'm sorry but I haven't made videos of everything that I do. It's just not possible. There is a wild parsley that grows here and it is absolutely delicious. It's only available in May and I collected some and dried it. It preserves well when dried so next year I'm going to collect a lot more. It adds a wonderful flavor to any dish.

Maybe

I've eaten chollas buds before and to me it was a waste of time. Lots of time to prepare something that was not at all desirable to eat. I would only eat that in times of true desperation. Ants and other insects are far more nutritious and satisfying than chollas buds in my opinion.

@@ChadZuberAdventures You know it's not worth your time when gathering and eating ants is preferable!

It would break. The wheels would not last unless the path was only sand. Wooden wheels would be more durable.

@@ChadZuberAdventures Okay, then maybe if you tried to create some wheels from those flexible branches and completed by making a braided rope and covering the wheels with that rope, maybe it would work, I know it's work, but I think it would be amazing if you managed to do something like that 😄

Obrigado amigo

@@ChadZuberAdventures Valeu, Chad!

Thanks Amauri

@@ChadZuberAdventures you're welcome keep on grinding on the vids

Sometimes I throw the prickly pear skin into the compost to make better soil. I also save the seeds to grind into flour. I also want to make a canopy to store firewood and bigger pots. I haven’t had the time. Editing videos and other things takes so much time. Right now I am also very occupied with harvesting acorns and wild fruits. So much work, so little time. My email: chadzuber@hotmail.com

​​@@ChadZuberAdventuresYes, you are right, for the most part you try to do everything for the comfort of your survival and the fact that the process of making rope from Yuki is a very laborious process, I tried using your technology to make a rope from flax hemp took a very long time to make 5 meters, since Yuki in my homeland will actually not be able to grow. I am a fisherman myself and I weave nets on my own for fishing and using the technology of a fishing net, I tried to weave a hammock with cells 2 by 2 cm in time less expensive about 1 week but also less comfortable due to the fact that it takes up more space your way of knitting a hammock allows it to stretch and fold like a spring and it takes up less space it is huge plus. Your videos are wonderful, you should teach this in schools in survival courses

Si se puede

Cảm ơn

They are made from stems, not roots. And yes, all these are basically made the same way. There are slight variations where sometimes I've used a little cordage to tie the stems together when beginning a basket but they are with willow or willow-like stems.

I would have to go alone. I would love to join you on a survival course. Email me more information please: chadzuber@hotmail.com

He doesn't have metal where he is, and stone works well for him

@@Timmyjg2004 For your information, metals are everywhere. For example, he is walking on iron containing clay, rust gives it the red colour. You just need to get it hot enough to melt the iron.

it would be dope to maybe see a metal tool making episode

Metal tools would require technology a lot more complicated and time consuming than what he's currently using, especially when you're talking about getting it from clay.

@@craftiebrown What technology?

Sim é possível. Não é complicado mas é MUUUUUIIIIIIIIIITTTTTOOOOOOOO tempo para fazer. Só o tempo escasso complica.

Five days

I dont think he owns the land down to the river

Insects, flooding, rugged terrain, lack of good clay, wind.

The shovel won’t speed the process up that much. Maybe 10% faster. Rather than make the current hut bigger I want to make additional huts but in different styles. That way I can get a lot more experience. I don’t think wetting the clay rock dirt first and doing what you suggested would be any faster. I would still have to grind down the dirt. The clay I use for pottery isn’t pure clay. It contains a lot of minerals too. It happens to be the best clay I’ve ever worked with. It’s very strong and easy to work with. I’m anxious to start working with clay again.

Hi!

He never made a video on it.

Yes, I made a video about that years ago. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eS_hY5s2zSk.htmlsi=OScc3Hy1XlOweZj8

I've only used health care when I had a serious health situation arise. Nature does a good job of healing most illnesses. But it would be hard to survive here. It would require very good planning and utilization of available resources. Water storage would be very beneficial. I plan to make lots of water containers to store water during dry periods. A rain catch system also would be very useful. Food is scarce at times. Hunting is very difficult here because there isn't a lot of wild life. Fish are very plentiful between April and November. Winter would be very harsh here. A good supply of food is essential for winter survival. It would be necessary to travel to lower elevations to harvest additional foods. Insects are definitely the most reliable food source here. There are lots of ants and grasshoppers. Learning to collect large quantities of insects would be the best assurance for food. Occasionally a deer or javelina could be hunted but I rarely see them. Rabbits are more plentiful but not that many. There are quail as well but again, if I were to take too many then they would be very scarce too. I think the most reliable foods are insects, fish, and prickly pear leaves and fruit. Most years there are lots of palo verde beans in the spring but this year there were none because the winter storms lasted longer than usual. There were acorns this year too but they quickly were infested with worms and eaten by wild life. There are a few other fruits that are available in the summer but they take a long time to collect. There are several herbaceous edible plants too that can be collected and dried for long term preservation. So, yes, I believe that long-term survival is possible here but it would be a very harsh and difficult life with very limited food options. This place is a very good place to train because if I later go to another location with more resources available it will then be much easier.

@@ChadZuberAdventures You are right, you're one of the most skillful survivalists out there. Living in nature is hard, but I can even do it on a freaking desert. Looking forward to see some new videos about for example the water storage you mentioned. Thank you for your time spent writing this

@@wojtech3 I'm sorry that the progress here is so slow but keep in mind the amount of time that goes into just editing and uploading the videos. Let me remind you that I work alone, nobody helps me in these projects and I also have family and they don't live here at my hut. Hahaha! I've become accustomed to living very simple but most people do not accept that lifestyle. I have so many ideas of things I want to make and build but I'm limited by time. If I had help I could make a lot more happen but I would need a lot more funds to pay the people too. But at least I now have that big kiln to fire bigger pots and I'm thinking of ways to make a garden successful here. That is a real challenge. It's so hot in the summer and so cold in the winter and the rains are not consistent so I would have to collect a lot of water or find some other way to irrigate.

今年我可能会这么做。

Talvez. Ainda não sei mas tenho pensado em tentar fazer um tanque.

Where did I get the plastic and technology to make the camera and computer and somehow forge an internet connection?

No. Fighting to prove an ego is a stupid reason to risk one’s health. Furthermore, I’d rather be friends with Donny Dust than be adversaries.

@@ChadZuberAdventures again only in a survival situation here it's cool to respect your kill first. i just know some people who watch u thinking it's a survival show and all that

@@tempestflare4339 I pay respects to the plants when I take from them too.

@@ChadZuberAdventures again like I said some people watch your stuff to learn about survival things instead of just taking it as you living your lifestyle like Cody to be honest that's actually how I was at first but I know just enjoy it for you living your lifestyle and I get the idea you're going at respect for nature and everything it provides

Only re***ds use 'lol'.

He does go home,he doesn't live at the hut permanently.

​@@solidsnakesimulation666 Yea, I know. That's why I'm asking

@@wojtech3 I can't remember the exact wording but in a previous (yet recent) video someone asked the same thing and he responded with (something like) 'I run 5 miles a day and can lift ' so we know he does physical workouts when he's not on camera/not doing survival stuff. there's also something to be said for the keto diet (which is essentially what he's on) - no sugar, no trans fats, no artificial ingredients. Even without he exercise he'd be healthier than someone _not_ on a keto diet for 6-8 months of the year anyway.

I'm pretty skinny, not very muscular. But yes, one can be very healthy and strong by living in the wild if they prioritize food acquisition and if there is enough food available. Often people assume that I shoot the video then go to a hotel at night or that my house is nearby, and I go to the gym or that I go to Carl's Jr. and buy bacon cheeseburgers, or that I take lots of protein shakes or even steroids. Man, nobody has a clue how I live. This video was about fishing and cooking this fish. It wasn't about everything else that I eat. I don't show every moment of my life in these videos. That's just impossible. But I'll tell you this, when I'm out here, this is where I stay, in my hut. I bring additional food rations with me too but they are very basic, and I don't use supplements, I don't go to a gym, but I do calisthenics and other exercises almost every day. I used to run barefoot a few times a week but then I think I broke my toe a few months ago when i slammed it into a rock so now it's very painful to run barefoot. If you knew everything I do you'd probably be quite impressed.

@@ChadZuberAdventures Wow, you have a really interesting life. I imagine that most people just can't really fully understand what you do and what it takes to do it

Congratulations!
