- Primitive life is about connecting with the land and learning her ways. The learning process is essential for survival and this process takes time through careful observation and experimentation. The land provides materials to bushcraft useful tools and it also provides plenty of food. However, acquiring that food is often not so easy. As I learn more about this beautiful land I will eventually unlock the secrets not only to survive here, but to thrive. This series will be ongoing so be sure to stay tuned for the next video.

My equipment:
Camera: Nikon D7500 and GoPro HERO7 Black
Sound: Zoom H4N
Editing: Final Cut Pro X on MacBook Air
Location: Parts Unknown
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Who films you?
Me. I travel alone, shoot, edit, upload, everything, all alone. On a few occasions I may be accompanied by a friend.
How many cameras do you use?
Usually I use just one camera. When I have underwater scenes then I also use a GoPro camera. I get different angles by moving the camera around and repeating the action to create a more cinematic viewing experience for the audience.
Where is this place?
In order to protect the integrity of the natural landscape I prefer to be very vague about the locations I use. There are places that I used to visit that were so beautiful and untouched but the consequences of social media brought all kinds of people to visit and sadly some people do not respect nature and have badly damaged these places. Therefore I do not share locations.
Where did you get your sandals?
I first started wearing sandals on outdoor adventures in February 2014. I’m so glad that I did because wearing these Luna Sandals has really helped strengthen my feet. You can see their selection of adventure and running sandals at this link: www.lunasandal...
(Note: I receive an affiliate commission from any sales derived from clicking on the link above)
Do you workout?
Yes, I workout, but not in a gym. I have some weights that I use and also do a lot of bodyweight exercises. I also run and sometimes swim. I hike frequently to collect wild foods and to shoot these videos so I'm very active all the time.
Are you vegan or vegetarian?
I wish I could maintain my health on a primal diet that does not include animals but unfortunately that did not work well and I ended up with health problems as a result of those attempts. From my studies, observations of nature, and personal experience I have come to believe that the best diet for optimal human health is a primal diet (paleo).
Do you get lonely when you’re alone?
No, I don’t get lonely. I’m actually so busy shooting video, taking photos and doing so many other things like making cordage, cooking, weaving, etc. that I really don’t have time to think about my lonely condition. Sometimes when something profound happens on an adventure I can’t wait to share it with people, but other than that I do not get lonely.
How many languages do you speak?
My first language is English but I also speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese. I also speak very little Russian. I may soon begin learning more languages.
How old are you?
I was born in 1972. At the time of this video I was 48.
Where did you get the music in your videos?
This series is the first one that I am making all the music myself. I recently made a drum and maracas (rumba shaker). I am now using them to create the intro and ending music in my videos, but before in the past I have used royalty free music from several sources including RUclips. Sometimes I bought the music but usually it was free.
Recruiter: if you would be stranded in the wild and could choose one person to join You, who would it be?
Me: Chad Zuber
Recruiter: Who? Why not someone like Bear G...
Me: Trust me... Chad Zuber
Hahaha!!! I'll do my best to keep you alive.
Why not Bear Grylls 😂
Cameraman as a freebie
@@srigirirajendran500 Ill volunteer to be cameraman if its only me n chad
No, I’d go with bear grylls….. you get to stay in five star hotels at night! That’s the kind of gritty extreme survival for me….
cant wait for episode 26: making more bricks and starting a war between fish nations

The special thing about your channel is that you are interested in your Arab audience. Thank you for your interest. You are a wonderful person Greetings from the Sultanate of Oman🇴🇲

Congratulations on 2M! That's amazing, and well deserved! Great episode!
Thank you so much!!
Could you make a wicker fish trap for the chub? Could be an easier solution rather than a line and hook.
Hello my friend -----make your hook small-----Use insects and worms, grasshoppers in your area as bait.
That would be ideal, problem is tools. He doesn't have the tools necessary to make a thin cord strong enough to support the pull of a fish and he doesn't have anything but spines as hooks.
Still the best camera man on RUclips. Period. I'd give you the Oscar for Director of Photography.
no offense, but there's something hilarious about such a gigachad being named chad
he was destined to be a gigachad, his parents knew
Chad is not just a name, it's way of life
U can build fish trap ... In south east Asia we use bamboo ... On desert u must find material that similar like bamboo ... Or alternatif way u build Arrow to shoot the fish ...
I hope you make a hut large enough so you can stretch your whole body straight, also making spaces for food like shelves
That’s A LOT of work for one single person and no modern technology
@@boostedlolplayer6523 yeah dont think they realise that would take years
Those bricks seem to be larger than the ones in his old hut.
Well the point im trying to say is so his back doesnt bent when he is sleeping, when you always sleep uncomfortable you will lack energy because of lack of sleep
That's alot of bricks and water runs
When people say “this man is a CHAD” this is who they’re referring to.
There are people who watch and comment on his hanging chads. And I freak out because Chad has a greyish beard and he's too young to know the reference.
Hayyyy 👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊

@@dennyansyarioutdoors with my eyes I at first misread the icon with the thumb as the middle finger.
Good time to point out: don't use the thumbs-up icon where Russians will see it. In Russia the thumbs-up is what they use instead of the middle finger. Putin gave the sign to Trump once. Trump uses the Russian version rather than the American one and the difference is delivery; the American sign waves towards the sky and the Russian sign is pounded towards the earth and is a barely disguised punch to the face.
@@petehoover6616 dude its literally just an emoji calm down
Congratulations on 2 million subscribers! I’m very glad to see that this quality channel is being exposed to more individuals! Great stuff Chad!
2 million subs! What an achievement.
Many more...
Many more...
He deserves more subs
heartiest congratulations on 2 million. you deserved it and many more soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
2 million, good work
Yes
I don't know if you have plans for this in the future, but what about making a sort of man made "lagoon" ?
Kind of like an enclosed damn area made of rocks with a small opening and put bait inside of it.
If you see fish inside of it, go around into the water and close off the entrance to it where the fish get in and then you can net them or something inside of your lagoon.
If he's doing this in California, he has to be careful of various regulations regarding the use & preservation of waterways. Even up here in Washington State, we have to be careful of our activities in our state's riverbeds because we could accidentally destroy salmon spawning nests. If they're destroyed, there won't be nearly enough salmon next year for fishing & eating. These regulations do make sense in regards to our longterm survival, ensuring there will hopefully always be at least some salmon to catch...even if they're a pain in the loincloth in the immediate needs sense. Shaping a lagoon might seem like a good thing to do...but it could actually end up being the wrong thing to do in other terms as well. If the dam breaks, he could be liable for any damage caused downstream by flash flooding. If the extra standing water of the lagoon causes masses of mosquitoes to breed and hatch, that could cause the spread of more diseases. (I do think we've already had more than enough of that going on right now, wouldn't you agree?)
@@ladyofthemasque bruh if you’re surviving who really gives a shit😂 you can eat first and answer questions later for Christ sake
@@DoubleTime999 Chad is doing this as a hobby and therefore has to follow regulations, as this isn’t a true stranded in the wilderness survival is all that matters situation. Wanton destruction of wildlife or just not thinking about the consequences of your actions could lead to a great many bad things happening, either to him or just regular people trying to live their lives. You should always be mindful about what you do in nature, and always think about the consequences of your actions no matter the situation you’re in
Hello Chad,
Thank you for your awesome videos I have learned a lot from you.
Perhaps building a fish trap would be a better way of catching some fish and it will safe you time and energy that could be used for other projects.
Thank you and be well.
Yes, once I put the time in to making the trap then it will serve me well.

Graz, 2 mil subs is such a monumental milestone to reach. Fish ain't gonna elude you for much longer at this point: the more you try, the more you learn and experience. And the moment it all comes down, the catch shall be a moment of small victory.
Always a good day when chad posts!
Congratulations, Chad! Keep up the good work. 🐠 🎣😎
the underwater view was super amazing, i truly enjoyed it.
Congratulations on the 2M! I'm not used to commenting but it's totally deserving. Continue I greatly appreciate all this work. 👊🏻💪🏻
Thanks a lot Jean!
Just imagine yourself trying to catch fishes in that position wearing only a tiny clothe and then a family comes to visit the place and sees him.
They would be like: 😳😳😳
Excellent video my friend, keep trying with those fish youll get them before long. Remember God loves a trier! cant wait for the next episode, wishing i was there in the wilds :)
Congratulations on the 2 million subscribers, Chad! This is without a doubt one of the best series I follow on RUclips. Keep up the good work!
PS: the beard looks good on you! hahaha
Congrats on hitting 2 mil, Chad! Always eagerly waiting for your uploads! 😄✌
It looks like a net would work well on those fish, they come so close, feed them with one hand and net them from behind with the other, I feel so sneaky and evil😔.
Haha, that's what I am thinking of doing. I already began to make a net
Hey Chad, Happy Father's Day! Be blessed.
Just wanted to say keep up the good work, I love this content! and thanks for making it :)
Tengo el honor de ser el Suscriptor fundador numero 60.000 ☺, Felicitaciones Chad por tu Gran Canal!
I don't know if you plan it, but when I saw the flat ribs at the bottom of that cow's ribcage I thought they looked like almost ready-made weaving swords.
AND YOU TOOK ONE.
I'm quite excited about the possibilities.
So far, this reply has gotten three likes. Assuming one of them is Chad and knowing one of them isn't me, it appears that there are at least three viewers, myself included, who never mind what else is happening in the videos we are primarily interested in what Chad does with spinning, weaving, basketmaking and the fiber arts because we're all involved in it at the level that Chad himself is involved in. 2 million subscribers. 4 handspinners. Probably about a statistical average.
I had mentioned previously that I'd seen a museum display of weaving materials from a Peruvian burial, perhaps Moche. I had already read the book "Bolivian Highland Weaving" and several on Guatemalan weaving. What struck me was that little had changed between Moches and present day Aymarás. The ancient woman was buried with her finest works so her yarn was about half the diameter of that in one of those alpaca ponchos you can buy. More tightly spun too. And if she used cochineal it didn't last. She had browns to yellows to whites. No reds, blues or greens. But most of it was the same as today.
Chances are there are 4 handspinners and ten or fifteen pretenders. (They don't cheer on a dead cow bone)
But there are 2 million subscribers. There's a pretty good chance some of the people who say "Hello, I'm from Bolivia" or whatnot don't practice backstrap weaving themselves. They are mostly jungle bushcrafters. BUT I BET THERE ARE SOME WHOSE MOTHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS STILL DO.
Hey Chad, have you considered adding the nopales growing near your hut to the menu? You can throw them right in the coals and cook them like that. I think between nopales, palo verde beans, and fish you could make a really solid stew in your pot. I’d dice the nopales after cooking them on the coals and blanch them in the pot with water to remove the sliminess. Then return them to the pot and add the beans and a little water. Once they’re cooked through after 5 mins, remove the stew and add the fish with a bit of water and cover to poach the fish. After 5 or so mins put the fish on your plate and add the stew on top. That’s a meal of legumes, vegetables, and lean protein.
Que grande eres chad... Un saludo desde barcelona 🇪🇸... Un abrazo fenomeno
¡Felicitaciones por los 2.millones de.seguidores Chad !🎉🎉🎉🎉🎈🎊🎊🏆👏👏👏y seguirán sumandose más. Hermoso vídeo en ese maravilloso lugar,esos.peces.son muy inteligentes.
Congratulations! And the night is made even more brilliant by you, my friend.
That carcass is an awesome find! You definitely settled in the right place! So many blessings there.
i agree, although, i wonder what killed it? always a bigger one
@@christopherconaway3549 didn’t think about what killed it 👀 it could’ve injured itself or gotten sick maybe?
Will you try spear fishing? I dont know if maybe suitable wood is available, but that could be a way to get fishing there going.
I click when i see a chad zuber video!
Bury net in sediments, wait for fish, lift out of the water. Fish aquires
this is a good channel 🎧🎵
very useful,, there are so many ideas & many lessons that we can learn on this channel 💯👆
super LiKE 💗💝💗💝
Super thank you!!
@@ChadZuberAdventures
you are welcome my best Chad Zuber 🎵🙏
try to make a big net, in Indonesia the fishermen catch fish with nets, but I don't know if you can make it in the open?
It will take long time to make
Make a 3 prong gig, a "fish basket" or fish trap with what resources you have at hand with dried grasses, tree fibers, etc., you could even make a sort of dam to round them up into and block them in.
Yeah I'll have to experiment with materials. Thanks
this is so weird, today was the first time i fished after having my previous license expire, im still fairly new and i haven’t caught one still after a handful of trips. so i casted the floating dive lure and had this little snakehead looking thing follow behind my lure all the way to shore and its when it was within shore spearing distance. it was better than not having a fish near the bait at all and then being able to have it so close? crazy
Keep trying and learning man, you will get one. It's not as easy as people think!
Your're one with nature and i love it. I'm just curious: Do you still have a communication with your family? How do you edit your videos? How do you spend your earnings on RUclips? Do you have a love life? How do you see yourself 10years from now? Thanks for this #soothingpieces of reality and simplicity.
How far is the river away? You gotta show us that we have a feeling how much effort it is to make those bricks
Always a great pleasure to watch your vids Chad....your patience with regard to fishing is commendable. Best wishes from merrie olde England.
To (grand) parents that wanna teach children about history : turn on Chad instead of Micky mouse
Amazing ideas for survival food eating I really like to view
When are u catching the fish? I have been waiting since months😅
I think a more efficient way to catch the fish is to skewer them with a spear, you can carve one of the bones so that it has enough point and create a spear with that. When you go fishing you could put a bait in the water and wait for the moment to skewer one of the fish. Good videos, keep it up.
That sounds simple in theory but requires much expertise in order to work. I may try it though.
@@ChadZuberAdventures hi
You can make a maze of stones for fish in the water. When they swim, they can be easily caught.
Congrats sir! And as always, awesome video! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
te ves tan en forma y enérgico en cada video, ¿haces ejercicio todos los días? y felicitaciones por 2 millones de suscriptores
Good, meticulous work. You may not have gotten the fish, but you're learning more and more.
Congrats on getting 2mil subs🥳
Thanks for all the amazing content. 2 million! You have earned every sub, congrats
"When the water runs out , it's time to get more , when you want to get more , you want fish , when you saw a fish you want fish !!!"
Me : Delicious 😋😋😋
Chad, weave a seining net trap with pull strings on the corners to pull up quickly to catch fish that swim above it.
Or toss it on top of a school of fish to hopefully catch a few at a time!
I was 7 when i started fishing when i turnd 10 i realized i didnt like using a hook i liked to use a net, from then on until now i use a net to fish, (i stand in the water waiting and net them)
always wanted to try a net but sadly it is illegal in most areas here in Kuwait if not all. I'm guessing your from Japan becuase of your nickname? If so how goes the fishing there theoughout the seasons, would love to pay another visit and try some fishing.
@@sleepingwyvern where i live i have a license to net fish, small towns are wired like that, but at the same time my net is a little hand net, thank you for your comment i hope your haveing a lovely day 😄 , i like the little net cus it dosnt hurt the first when its a fish i can not eat i cant let it go with out even taking it out of the water.
This was another awesome video. Cheers, Chad!
Make a net out of wood and fiver put some bait in it and wait for the fish to go inside
Love your passion for the Primal living!
Let me tell you a secret about fishing and your success will be garanteed.
"Connecting with the Land" is the Primory Thing you have to do.
Throw your Bait and Sit down, Relax, connect with the World, just chill...
and be rdy for the Moment!! (ALWAYS!)
You jiggle/giggle to much around with the Bait.
Let the fish observe and explore the bait on her own a little bit more.
A good bite needs some time :)
A Fish is fast - your not - so "let the food come to you" :)
Good Luck with it !
and no I try not to say you have to build a Trap with Stones/Sand/Wood to "LOCK the Fishis in a small Area" by Baiting them into it. (only for common "not so far to walk" places recommended)
Perhaps you are right. I'm not sure that my hook will be effective though.
That water gourd is more robust than my professional career

Wow very good video brother sharing, I support Channel
Olá, que maravilha de vídeo! Ótimo seu trabalho gostei!👍🙂🇧🇷
Muito obrigado!
Congratulations chad, I started watching your video while you were below 500k subscribers, keep up
I am interested how you geht so musceled. Is this the Result of the normal work in wilderness or did you also train special your body sometimes. Thank you for answer 😃
I train when I'm not in the wilderness
Ah okay.

Congratulations on 2M!!! Well deserved. I love your vids.
you can catch small fish by banging one rock over another. We used to collect many fishes like this in our childhood (stream in the village)
How does that work?
Great video so relaxing and enjoying it
Hey, man, you have a nickname "Muscle Bro" in China. Every fan of yours wants to try primitive life to get bigger muscle.
Are you serious??? Primitive life with lots of food is what is needed.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Haha, just kidding. Sufficient protein, which has not been shown in the video, is needed.
it would be nice if you are going to do a fishing basket to try to catch the fish, maybe gather them with some stones, for the fishing basket you can use branches or leaves you already know how to do them I saw. leaves the bait in the water in the basket, the level of water is not very high you can succeed it would be nice to see this kind of primitive fishing!
Felicidades por los 2 millones estimado amigo!Se vienen mas cosas buenas..!Abrazo desde argentina
May be u should try to make a net out of yacca fibers which u can use for catching fish 🐟🐟 just lay down the net and pull it up when u have fish in it
Please don’t cut your beard let it grow please!!!!!!
Have you thought about a spring pole trap for fishing? You can leave it and not have to watch it?? If you can get The cordage smaller but the tensile strength would be the issue. I don’t know any about making cordage. That’s where your experience comes in. Just an idea if you haven’t already. Great vid!!
How warm is the river water? Where I am it is cold mountain water all year round unfortunately.
No problem! Congratulations...
Yuhu, dude 2 million people... That's a lot! And thanks to you, these 2 million will survive the apocalypse))
I hope there are few mistakes and hello from Russia ❤️
Thank you very much my friend! Спасибо большое!
I've read somewhere that when you see a school of small fish you can throw a big smooth rock right next to the school of fish. It wil stun the fish for a couple of seconds and you wil be able to catch them with your hands. Hope it helps you!! Greetings,, Kitty.
Really! I never heard that. It's worth trying though. Thanks!
We want new episodes almost daily, please, because I have become addicted to watching wildlife, you are missing, to make a hunting bow
Ah man, I need a lot of help to do that. I'm a one man production right now. But I will try and do more.
This is literally the only chanel that i care to see unu
you're so close to catching them!
I recetendly traveled 8 hours to go to a place and stayed for a week. It was stressful and boring. I got back today and you upload, perfect timing lol.
Also: I saw how much you struglled with catching fish, you can create a stone wall with a gab opening and build like a *fence* with natural bendable sticks, so when the fish go threw they get stuck and you can catch them.
Yeah, there are several trap ideas I can do.
Why not make a trap for the fish out of sticks, rocks and yucca cordage? It seems like that would be easier... Congrats on the 2M subs! 👍
Congratulations on 2 million subscribers! An amazing accomplishment!🎉👍🏻😊
