Prickly Pear Harvest and Preservation for Winter - ASMR (Season 2, episode 6)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- Food preservation for winter and possible future food shortages is an important aspect of life for primitive cultures. Extensive winter and spring rains brought an abundant supply of wild foods in these desert mountains. Now it is the end of summer and the harvest season has begun.
Join me as I fill my burden basket with a wild harvest and manually process it into a delicious dried candy-like food product that can be stored for a long time. Watch till the end to see some of the other wild foods I've collected and prepared and be sure to see the wild scorpion I eat too. Lots of great information, beautiful views and sounds are to be enjoyed in this video.

Hes named chad for a reason
Hes giga Chad🗿
Just call me Chad
@@ChadZuberAdventuresbest survival ever
Ultimate primitive Chad. Paleolithic Chad.
He fr goes through wasps like nothing
"The roasted scorpion tastes a lot like a roasted grasshopper"
Great explanation, really cleared it up (before people start getting offended, i said it as a joke)
"Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"
I’m sure that 90% of the population knows the taste of grasshoppers. 🤣 I guess I just assumed everyone lived primitively still.
@@ChadZuberAdventures what common meat does stuff like grasshoppers and scorpions resemble most? or is it distincly different?
Stay hydrated, Chad! I remember your post about the hospital, be careful out there
I will never forget that. It was so bad. You have no idea.
بالنسبة للغبار بإمكانك خلط رماد الخشب مع التراب والماء ليصبح عجينة تبلط بها أرض البيت
I did not believe it the first time, it was insane but I loved and wanted to do something like this. I thank you, CHAD
Chad, a suggestion for storing meat in addition to drying it in the sun is to cook the pieces in lard and then store everything together in pots (the melted lard together with the pieces of meat) in containers with lids (clay jars can be used like the ones you make) the lard will harden (but not too much, it will have the consistency of a thick whitish paste) and the meat preserved in this way can stay there for three years or even more, without spoiling, in addition, the The taste of the meat is incredible!!! It is important that the jars always have their lids on, otherwise the flies will land and lay their eggs there!!! This way of storing meat has been used for centuries here in the rural regions of the interior of my country, Brazil
he cant use lard.
@@benygames7399Tallow works also
@@benygames7399there's no can't there's ways around that and he could eventually find a way to process it from an animal
@@AzamatSlowedAndReverb i mean i suppose a lot of work for not a whole lot based on the fact that he is sun drying his pears without the use of lard perfectly fine.
Good tip. I’ll have to try that.
What a great thing it is to watch Chad on a stressful day
Absolutely. I am having Total Knee replacement surgery tomorrow and this is calming.
That Mario sneeze caught me off guard, I was not expecting that at the first seconds in the video
Hahaha! It caught me by surprise too!
@@ChadZuberAdventures lol
I never hear Mario sneeze be for, i was thinking what mean is yaaachoo haha ha for sneeze normal sneeze is achoo(-__-............)
A while ago you had a video collecting salt, and I thought it'd be interesting to see you try to make some cactus pickle as an experiment. Great video as always!
Pickled cactus…. I’ve cured olives with salt before but never cactus. That would be interesting.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I have had pickled cactus. It tastes like green beans.
This was awesome. I've tried prickly pear fruit before, and it was great. It is very expensive though. I bought it in a grocery store. Cheers, Chad! ✌️
It’s free here!
This guy is an Fing caveman genious 😁👍
😂
Great video!!! Good job! 😀😀😀🖖👍Greetings from Slovakia
Thank you Daniel and greetings to you!
"Now when you pick a paw-paw or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw, well, next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big paw-paw
Have I given you a clue?
The bare necessities of life will come to you!" ~TJB
That’s a great riddle! The key to success.
i can imagine that anticipating the harvest all year would make the few weeks of processing feel less tedious
I always look forward to harvests. Often I don’t have enough time to process everything though.
Good evening Thanks for the beautiful video.
Thanks for watching
Every time you harvest prickly pear fruit my mouth waters. Looks like a nice crop this year. big plump and juicy. thank you for sharing your chores with us. always a lot to do when you go it alone. however it's nice and peaceful and a great time to reflect without interruption. ♥much love♥ take care till we see you again.
Yes, it is so peaceful here. I never want to leave.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I hear that, I wouldn't neither. :)
If you take those ball pimple like prick bases off you can eat the skin as well. The best ones are the yellow ones.... Heavenly
The yellow ones don’t grow here but I use the skin of all of them.
00:39 bless you 😂
Thank you!
New video! Yeh!!🎉
Чед обожнюю ваші відео.І ваші пригоди в них
This dude is hardcore version of Tarzan, incredible skills and knowledge when times come he would be allright in the wilderness for sure.
Here in pueblo colorado the prickly pears are ready, they arent as big and fleshy as those and here they have way more glocids and seeds, they are devil fruit, but worth it, every part is edible, the seeds can be used for flour, or you could malt them and make an ale or beer.
That’s interesting… An ale or beer from the seeds?
Letting the seeds malt or sprout concentrates sugars and carbs in seeds and grain you'd just need a natural yeast like from berry or fruit skins with that powdery white coating, thats yeast trying to get in to eat the fruits sugars, unless an animals, insects, or weather breaks the skin the yeast can't get in to start fermentation. Malting adds base and sweetness to ale and beer, plus any other flavors you want to add.
@@crowverra5343Interesting… I’ll have to experiment with this.
Geralt harvesting prickly pear to kill a warewolf, classic witcher right there.
Hey mate, good to see you again
Please remember to be careful with how many of those prickly pears you eat haha
Trust me… I’ll never forget that incident.
Was just about to say that, haha. 😅
Just laying on the couch to watch the video, feeling myself in peace, then there was this AAAAAACHOOOOO ! ... laughing to death now xD Thanks for everything Chad ! :)
Bless you!!!! 0:37 what mean is yaaachoo haha ha ha haha ha, now that what a surprise sneeze
what a surprise me, a true real life Mario sneeze hahaha~~~~~~(oh boy~~~)
Oh I’m sorry I didn’t provide a translation for that. 🤣😂
@@ChadZuberAdventures oh don't feel sorry, i have no clue to describe sneeze words, so that why i type"yaaachoo".
@@insicawu4785That seems like a good translation.
So Inspiration
As always i enjoy your style of storytelling with smatterings of tasty information. Your videos always have a calming affect on me and leave me with a smile on my face, at the simplicity of your handmade stories.
Thank you. I appreciate you telling me this.
You are the best
That hammock is going to be worth some money when finished
Great video as always Chad!
Looking forward to when the new floor tiles are finished and can be installed in the hut to reduce the dust.
Also, it is a great shame that the youtube algorithm isn't working properly. A lot of people misses out on the primitive adventures of yours.
Just continue to do these videos. You're the only one who truly live the lifestyle like our ancestors did in the stone age!
Thank you! Yes, I’m actually making more tiles. I have to test them to make sure they will be strong enough to walk in when set in clay on the floor.
Keep up the fantastic work on your channel! Your success journey is captivating! - "Success is the result of relentless effort..."
Thank you and you are right. Gotta stay relentless. I’ve had a year of obstacles but gotta stay strong.
welcome back friend! i love your videos
Thanks!
Fooood.
I recently made prickly pear jam, I forgot about it and it boiled like a fountain, it flooded the whole kitchen))) I had to wash everything from the red juice for half a day and disassemble the pressure cooker and rinse even the microcircuits. but what was left of the jam was delicious!)))
Esse e o melhor ASMR, da natureza 🌻🥰 Gosto de assistir antes de dormir.😴
Gosto de dormir aqui.
Exemplary demonstrations. Appetizing results!
who needs Ark when you can watch this guy
30 pounds of prickly pear fruit contains about 5,600 kcal, which is roughly two days of consumption at moderate levels of exertion. This is likely less than the calories burned to harvest and process the fruit. It's still a worthwhile exercise because the fruit provides nutrients difficult to find elsewhere and, as shown, it can be preserved for future use, which is not true of all food sources. It does show, though, just how difficult a hunter-gatherer existence can be in an arid climate.
Yes, the reality is that meat and fat from animals is by far the most efficient wild food source. I doubt any native tribes would go through what I did unless they had a surplus of food, mainly meat.
bom dia que bom que você voltou a gravar vídeos
Obrigado. Sim, estou de volta.
hey, there's this traditional Georgian food called "churchkhela" which is basically an energy bar, and its made with something called sweet (wine before it ferments), flour and hazel/wall nuts, the steps are-
1.skewer nuts with a needle to hang them up on a string
2.boil the sweet and slowly add the flour till it looks thick enough
3. then coat the nuts with it and hang them up to dry. it would be better to watch it on youtube, there will definitely be a better explanation. just made them with my grandparents and got reminded. would be cool if you tried to make it with a primitive twist. also great video man, this has to be one of the series i look forward to most, not just on yt but in general, keep up the good work.
That sounds like an amazing snack. I could definitely do that. I’ll experiment first. Thanks for sharing.
მართლა რომ გააკეთოს :დ
Thanks Chad epic as always, its very interesting to see traditional foods being processed especially desert foods which we absolutely don't have in southern New Zealand 😂 great video
What are the main wild foods where you are?
They have hobbit foods in the north where the shire is, orcish food in the south around mount doom, and rohan was set in the east on the south island...
looks very delicious
Greeting from Argentina🎉
Saludos Verónica
Saludos
I really enjoy watchimg your Video's
Watching all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
Greetings to you!
Y'know, it surprises me that we haven't begun cultivating Prickly Pear fruits industrially. You would think especially in the Southwest and most Central and Southern American countries there'd be a market for it.
There is a market for it. You can find prickly pears for sale in Mexican markets in the southwest. White people just haven’t caught on to it yet.
That makes a ton of sense@@ChadZuberAdventuresbecause otherwise we'd be seeing Prickly Pear Fruit drinks at Starbucks all over the states.
@@TheMetalAllfather But Starbucks would sell artificially flavored prickly pear beverages.
Roasted scorpion = desert shrimp. 👍
There is so much beauty in everything you do from collecting fruit, washing it, preparing it and then eating it!
Every step of the process is a peaceful journey in God's love.
Such an inspiration to living off grid, xx
Wow! I would think 50 prickly pears would have the opposite result. Noted because I love em'! Another awesome video!
Yeah, me too. But I was wrong. I learned the hard way.
@@ChadZuberAdventures No pun intended! 👍 🤣
Thank you for share 🥰🥰🥰
احسنت متابعينك من عراق ❤❤
Don't eat them all at once chad! ;D ...and this shot of the moon through the window at 21:02 is really cool!
Don’t worry. I learned my lesson….. and yeah, full moon here is such a beautiful sight.
0:39 if dust coming from your walls, maybe you can plaster them with wood ash cement, mixed with clay and sand.
The floor is dirt. That’s why it’s so dusty.
@@ChadZuberAdventures uh, comapcted clay floor then? as much sand as clay, and shredded dry grass so it doesnt crack. laid 2 fingers thick, compacted with flat heavy implement.
@@xeros4000 Yeah, I intend to do that. Then I want to put tiles over the clay.
you are a legend ...
Good to see you back on YT Chad.
Thank you!
Dear Chad, Hello and nice to see you doing well. I love your videography. I appreciate the time and patience it takes to get these great views. Your tools for primitive living are amazing! The wild fruits look so yummy. But ya gotta watch out for them thar seeds! 😅 Lots of love from Grandma Linda in Martinsburg WV. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
I know more about those seeds than anyone. Respect for the prickly pear!
I used to eat this fruit when I was young, it's flavor is similar to dragon fruit ❤
This species is more tart though.
Chad. Good to see you’re back at it 🤝
Such an amazimng idea - to make some candies out of dried fruits. You have a lot of patience for long and tiresome works, it's so great!
If only my neanderthal ancestors had the power of swollness like chad does.
Oh yeah
The super sneeze made my day 😂
Me encantan todos tus videos Chad, sigue adelante 🎉
❤
My neighbors would go out and harvest pear cactus and made the most delicious jelly every year
Good job 😁👍
В прошлый раз Chad собирал опунцию листьями Юки и избавлялся от колючек песком. Думаю что в этот раз обметая ягоды веником намного быстрее и эффективнее.
it looks very reminiscent of pemmican. add in some tallow and a little bit of dried meat and thats basically what it is, just heavier on the berries/fruit than what you might see traditionally.
I’ve made pemmican with dried prickly pear before. It was really good.
How wonderful
Wow! The place is so lush and green this year opposed to last year.
I enjoyed your other adventures, but I wish you were here more this year so that i could see the transformation. It so different from last year.
Yeah it rained a lot early this year.
I love what you are doing ❤
Thank you!
Great work Chad!
Very nice video
I didn't expect you discarded the fruit skins, I thought they could be fermented into something. Being a bit lazy, rather than doing so much pounding I would find a nearby boulder and roll it back and forth to crush the seeds. Love the hammock!
I have made a fermented drink with the skins before. My garden also needs compost for next year. There isn’t time for everything…. There are no round boulders in this area. The rock is very unique. But that idea of rolling a boulder over the dry fruit is a good one. 👍
Video should be called ''Qui-Gon Jinn harvests Prickly Pears''.
🤣😂🤣
if you make a mortal and pestle out of stone, albeit laborious when making it, it will save a lot of time and effort in the long term
Excelente vídeo,muy lindo todo.💪🔥Me encantó esa.forma de almacenar las Tunas.
Solo que es mucho trabajo
Wow that looks labor intensive indeed. Make me wonder if it would be possible to put together a rotary grinding wheel; I imagine it should also be able to pulp these dried pears?
Yeah it’s a lot of labor. A stone juicer would be good.
Ei, Chad, muito bom ver você fazendo seus afazeres na cabana de barro. Obrigado por postar esse maravilhoso vídeo.
Muito obrigado amigo! 👍
@@ChadZuberAdventures Valeu Chand
Oh wow that's interesting ❤
I would find a small river and create a power hammer water wheel. That would save some of the pounding.
I'm little bit late I'm sorry
Super awesome ❤
Wow😯 So Amazing ❤️🤩
I want to try this this with my apples, I have so many that I don't want to waste. Laying in that hammock under the stars is gonna be the ultimate stress reducer. You have it so nice there now, the work paid off. Those seeds are huge! Glad you're ok. Are you doing a Halloween video like last year? That one was soooo good.😂 god bless u!😂 I don't think much can be done about the dust
I’ve never done this with apples before. They would oxidize really quick though. Sleeping under the stars is magical here! No Halloween video this year but I do want to make a primitive tribal war mask.
@@ChadZuberAdventuresok, homemade primal apple hooch it is then 😂😂

Hello Chad, it's always a highlight when you upload a video. I think you should think about improving your composter. You could build one made of clay with holes on the sides. The bacteria need air and water to work better. Like its now the compost process is likely to be slow. And also the sun might drying it to much. So building it more in the shadow may be good.
Yeah that’s a good idea. Time and resources are limited and there are other things I want to build first but a compost bin is a great idea. 👍
Geht ganz einfach. Nimm Äste von ca. 80cm machst du 3 Seiten hoch zu eine offen lassen |_|
first from philippines
I think if you ever make anything with clay again or get into working with metal, you should definitely make a colander (the bowl that has holes in it for draining pasta), so if you ever decide to make your own noodles you have something to work on.
I would use a basket for that. It works well because the water freely drains through.
Heeeyyy👏👏👏
Looks really great man now I want to try one
The juices is the best part
Just so you know. The cactus fruit still have very small prickles on them that cannot be brushed away but burned away.
They can all be brushed and washed away. I’ve never had to burn them off.
@@ChadZuberAdventures oh okay
few fruits free，long time no rich
A giant molcajete could be useful for pounding many fruits at a time
Yes, a giant one would be very good to have.
nice
I’ve been thinking about those pears whenever I see them on my neighbors front yard. There’s also another on the side of the neighborhood’s sidewalk, but never done the research nor grabbed any. Glad to see this random post! Maybe I’ll get to try them soon. (:
I just harvested prickly pears from my neighbors cactus, but we puréed them and made margaritas instead of survival food.
That sounds delicious!
Anyone else have this on in the background while they’re sitting in an office? Lol
Have you ever thought to go to the other extreme way: pear congee for a better digestion
Pear congee??? What is that?
@@ChadZuberAdventures something like porridge. Like Heinz fruit pouch (baby food)
