Primitive Safety Tongs & Prickly Pear Juice Extraction 

"Drink cactus juice. It'll quench ya! Nothing's quenchier. It's the quenchiest!"

It may be worth keeping the fruit to use as a cooking ingredient with which to make a syrup, or fruit reduction, in which you can use as a flavoring agent to add to water. In this way, you will be able to reap the benefits of the vitamins and minerals contained in the fibrous skin of the fruit, as well as separate out the seeds in the cooking process. With little other ingredients, this could serve as a viable, primitive gatorade/electrolyte beverage of sorts.

Thank you mr Chad for this video, it’s amazing the things god has given us to be able to survive! Especially pottery, it’s so useful and a great asset to have! Thank you Chad for sharing your wealth of knowledge and expertise 😊❤

You are correct it tastes as good as it looks. Made my mouth water an I could almost taste it. I never tire of watching you invent things to make your jobs easier, love your juicing container that's really clever. Another idea would be a tall wide mouth pitcher like pot with a pour spout, you could use a chunky size branch to crush the fruit so your hands don't turn all purple in the process. With the pottery you make, I'm sure it be an easy creation for you. Thank you for sharing.

I can not immagine the appretiation he has with all that moments investing to work on every detail. I deeply admire this lifestyle!

Hey Chad! It is great to see you finally had time to make the tongs! You did a fine job! I am especially impressed by the thought you put into the design ...then to see how well they functioned! A joy. Love your content!

Nice Tongs. The juice from the prickly pear looks heavenly.

I was literally just talking about harvesting some yesterday. Great timing.

I am always very inspired by your work. Keep going (:

Well done. It looks very refreshing and very healthy. Cheers, Chad!

Amazing vid Tarzan that juice looks like something I want to try out plus it looks tasty as well

Gracias Chad!!!💙

Excellent tool, useful also for grasping embers and minnows.

Here I was, expecting a really complex method for turning tunas into juice, and there you are, just smushing them xd

As always interesting and informative! Thank you! Як завжди цікаво та пізнавально! Дякую!

Love your work keep it up❤

thats awesome, i bet it is as good as it looks!

Masterful. As usual.

Yummy! That juice looks so refreshing! A great reward for all your hard work. I wonder how many people would just say it's too much work? But when the 💩 hits the fan,; nitice I said 'when', nit if; when it does, these skills and knowledge of edible wikd plants will save your life. 🙏🙏

Ah yes I remember picking prickly pears for my dad as a child. All he gave me was his pocket knife and a plastic water bottle that he cut the end off of. Took ages to get all those tiny thorns out.

Great video, Chad! I enjoyed it a lot.

Brings Peace to my soul.

It looks very delicious, my saliva is flowing out🤤

Thanks. Very nice 👍

I have to pause for the subtitles but I love reading them, I learn a lot from them. And I would love to try prickly pear fruit, it look very tasty.

That is awesome ❤

This was the first wild edible I ever tried. Living in southern California they are easy to come by. They are delicious. I eat yucca flowers all the time when in season while hiking. They taste like cucumber to me.

Ваше усердие вызывает уважение. Вам бывает одиноко в ваших путешествиях?

please continue to make these

Nice Work Bro!

Hey Chad! I’ven seen some of your videos And in some days , im gonna camp like you, im very happy. I always Wanted to make an adventure like this, but i never had time.😅 Sorry about my english, saludos desde argentina 😊

13:35 😅😅 Yeah, experience is the best teacher.

Dear Chad Zuber. 👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! Very well done again (video and work). It's quite amazing what can be done with a splitted stick, some sisal cordage, some sharp stones, some grinding and some time. Very useful tongs that will last a long time. And if not used they're obviously good for imitating the clatter that storks do! 😁 ;-) 2) Are the cracks in your ingenious juice divider repaired with something like birch tar? As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.

Lol he is doing so much hard works to just pluck that fruit. 👍

Wow wow wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

فكرة لامعة يا صديقي ، أتمنى لك التوفيق و النجاح ❤🌷👍

One of the best juices in nature that, so much neg ion gell for insta healing. If only common folk understood

We expect paleolithic people would be ecstatic about steel knives and spear points. Watching your woodworking, I imagine they'd be equally impressed by hand saws too.

Привет, Чад! Я думаю, вы могли бы улучшить эти щипцы, добавив на некотором расстоянии (1/2 или 2/3 от средней длины плодов) от рабочего конца перпендикулярные вырезы по форме плодов кактуса, чтобы сбоку их было так же удобно брать.

There are many recipes for cactus jelly that I want to try. I have eaten the prickly pear apples when I was much younger. My grandmother told me about how they burned the leaves of the prickly pear to feed their cattle. This was 70 years ago. When I was 5 years old I went out and picked a bunch of the prickly pear apples. I got my hands full of prickly pair spines. We had a devil of a Time getting those out of my hands. I didn't know until many years later that one of the best ways was to use Elmer's Glue. You put the glue on the affected area, let it dry, and then peel the glue and the stickers off all at the same time. Many years later a friend of mine and I went on a poorly planned fishing trip and resolved our hunger by eating the prickly pear apples. We were able to avoid the spines but there's so many seeds they were almost not worth eating.

God with you 👍

I hate when I am a day late watching lol

ดูเพลินมากครับ

Excelente quedaron esas pinzas,y ese jugo debe estar exquisito,también se podría tenir ropa ó cordaje con él.💪🔥

Bạn rất tuyệt vời, bạn sử dụng đá để cắt cành cây , và chế biến thức uống rất thành thạo

Happy Holidays and Many More

The true test to see if the tongs were truly tongs, was the clacking them together after it was made.

Yoooo chad sinh tồn đã trả lại ❤❤❤

Big up Chad

عالی 👏👏👏💙💙💙

Thanks for the video, it's amazing as always. May I raise the question of why you never use a handcrafted splint axe ? Also, I don't see you often to use handcrafted tools, but simple usage of sharp stones, can you tell us why, cheers :)

Great 😀🖖👍

Woa 🎉🎉🎉❤❤

These prickly pear cacti grow as a noxious weed around the eastern goldfields of western australia and the fruit are quite noice

Pitalla 💜

deliciously❤❤

🏜🍸 Cool!

would love to see a primitive fruit press of sorts. with more efficient juice pressing.

I am very sure all the prickly pears are frightened when you bring such a tool approaching to them 😱

Good way to grow more cacti! Spread the seeds. The birds and mice can't eat all of them

🔥🔥🔥Greetings, Colleague, This fruit is called: The Dragon's Heart, right?

👌🏼

That juice extractor is so cool! The prickly pears have sooo much juice! What did you put on the pot, I'm guessing something to seal it?

💪😁👍 healthy 🌵

Ahhaaaa....freshh!...😁😁😁🤤🤤🤤

Im sure you are propably aware but you could make a clay tube and some sort of matching stick/mortar of the size of the tube, and on the bottom side of the tube create holes that would drain the juice and the pulp and leave only seeds in the tool. That would make another project for you to work on and you wouldnt have to dirty your hands like that

Very nice

What is the dark black glue like substance that was used to fix/mend the juicing bowl? Really cool tongs

Hi Chad , Is there a way to keep and preserve this fruit as the Afghans do by keeping and preserving grapes fresh for six months in sealed, vacuum clay containers? Thanks

Idk how this guy gets all the protein his big muscles needs in the wild, cheating seems neccesary ^^

nice

Thanks for the great vid, Chad. I have to say that when I went to the local grocery store, they did have prickly pear fruits for sale...at $3.99 each. I bought three of them to see what they were like. While I like the sweetness and the flavor of the fruits, the fruits (as you mentioned) are mostly seeds with not much pulp. I would try to buy enough to make a glass of juice, but the store does not carry enough of them. Plus, at $3.99 a pop, that's a lot of money just to make a glass of fresh squeezed prickly pear juice. Chad, you are so lucky to stay in an area where your surroundings are practically a grocery store in itself.

Ooga booga job Did good chad now Tribe eat good 🗿

❤

Хммм, интересно... насколько сладкие плоды опунции? Можно наверное и бражку поставить, и самогон потом выгнать...🤔

It would be a good idea of boiling their juice so there are higher concentrates of sugars and less water. This can be great for long-term storage in jars or sealed pots.

Uncle after watching you i am going to take exercise everyday.

That guy is real Tarzan

Can you make fruit leather after drying and removing the seeds?

You've got to sell your pottery! I'll be your first customer. You also have to put a members thing on your channel! There's more ways to make money

How do you not get splinters

진짜 맛있어보이는데?? 한국에는 선인장없어 ㅠㅠ

I would have liked to see some fruit juice press or grinder with a simple cloth filtration or tiny holes in the claypot to filter the seeds and flesh out.

I wonder if prickly pear is sweet or sour, or maybe both? Would love to try it one day, but it is quite exotic stuff for me.

Cactus Allahumma sholli wa sallim wa baarikh ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa'ala ali Sayyidina Muhammadin fil awwalin wal aakhirin wa fil mala'il a'laa ilaa Yaumiddin

Hello chad, I have a question, When you make something out of clay, what do you do so that the water does not penetrate the pot and come out?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Oh yeah

I wonder what kind of flavour does that fruit have. It looks like the skin is similar to that one in caqui fruit.

🤙

Интересно с них можно сделать джем?

Can i ask how do you charge your camera

Chad will you ever do any more World Travel RU-vid Videos? From RU-vidr World 🌎

Así nacieron todas las herramientas 🔨🇮🇨🇪🇸

Kelihatan nya enak 😋

👍👍👍🙏🙏❤❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love

What does it taste like? 😮

U have grown old🙂

How many lbs of fruit would it take to get about 5 gallons of juice?
