First Primitive Year - Survival in the High Desert (last video of PT season 1)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2024
- This video features a compilation of the primitive bushcraft and foraging skills I used to establish a simple adobe hut and create this primitive home. The high desert is a challenging place to survive. Summer days are hot and winter nights are cold. The region is very arid and sometimes it doesn't rain for three months. Food is difficult to acquire and the growing season is shorter than in the low desert. Adaptation and respect of the natural laws are essential for survival. The full-length videos used to make this compilation are in the Primal Tendencies playlist on my channel. Thank you for watching and please follow me on my social media accounts below.

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, but that has been very rare.
Do you stay out there permanently?
No, I usually stay out in a wilderness area for about a week and then hike out and return to a city for editing and uploading. I have family and other obligations to take care of as well.
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.lunasandals.com/?rfsn=102...

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 49.
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.

God have mercy... I love it all and what you did... Life is about survival and accomplishing great things out of the little you have...
Thank you Nigel! Blessings to you.

Boy' I was trying to touch base with You on Facebook...? Thus to keep in touch with YOU... I feel so comfortable being around you... Even if we never met in real life... So when ever you gets some time off... I did sent a friend request on your account profile... Take care...
I'm 49 years old today... Hahaha

Easily one of the best channels on RUclips. 2.27 million subs, only 4.4K views after its been up for 3 hours?? 70 comments?? 700 likes?? He is literally showing us THE way to live, deserves to have 1 million views at least
True
Its crazy what one man can accomplish with time, patience and commitment. great job Chad, keep it up!
Hi from Melbourne Australia mate 👍.
Hi mate!
I always find it mentally refreshing to see that there are other men like me, forging out on their own- subsisting off of the wilderness in ways that Man was truly meant to share the world.
Nothing can explain just how amazing it really becomes- you just have to do it yourself. Being out there amongst the sounds of nature and white noise of the foilage, it takes your mind to a very peaceful place. I find that being able to truly forget about things like money, and gadgets at least for a little while- is the most calming medicine ever.
Uncle you are Amazing Uncle, loved your videos.
great watching you :)
i will enjoy this
I feel the Juniper Bark Sleeping Mat is the ultimate comfort.. Since you have been sleeping on the floor, with different pressure points surely makes a poor sleeping quality. When I watched that episode, you let out what I call it a 'comfortable groan", I felt it as well. hahah! This video is an evolution of how much you've progressed. Loved it!
The mat is definitely helpful but not as good as my favorite way to sleep in the wilderness - a hammock.
The juniper roof mats were new idea for me.
M
hope for season 2
an amazing video to watch, when you're trying to calm down after work
I think its very pure and noble the way you live, it must be harsh and difficult too sometimes. The very fact that you where able to do it and record it for others to see shows great commitment and dedication to a worthy cause. Its amazing what the human spirit can accomplish even amongst the most trying circumstances. Thanks for sharing!
Chad's pottery is absolutely beautiful. Best show on youtube.
Oh yes it is. I wish I had that talent.
You should check out Andy Ward's Ancient Pottery channel on RUclips. He is a real master!
Hello
Major Chad. Dude’s like a mix between Thor, and Crocodile Dundee
Hahahaha!
SALU2 BENDICIONES, FELICIDADES!
it is so inspiring that another human being has done so much in one single year! Thanks Chad!
Congrats Chad on one whole year!
Thanks!

Congratulations 🎊 Chad on all you have accomplished in a year. For me, your most striking time was when it snowed and you had to keep yourself warm. You did well to survive not getting hypothermia
It got cold and I woke up several times during the night but the fire kept me warm enough.
Chad, your videos give me so many ideas, not to mention you are an inspiration to those who are trying to achieve oneness with nature in a true sense. Not to mention your hard work gives motivation to people. Good luck with season 2 will be waiting for your new videos and new adventures.
I'm glad that you're getting ideas and inspiration. That's the purpose.
love what you do. watched you for your 1st year and amazed by you trials. mankind needs to go back to the rudimentals and to take stock of their insecurities, keep up your amazing work
Well said and true.
Yeah, it's wonderful in many ways but won't work in modern society. You have to be disconnected from the modern world for this way of living to work and it is even illegal in many places.
The best RUclips experience of all time
Just how I remembered it. Keep at it, Chad!
One of the best series on RUclips. Thanks for your dedication Chad, truly appreciate the quality of your work
Thanks a lot!
Your will, determination and creativity amazes me.
I am right there with you.
I try!
I don't want to say wow because i can't describe this hard work with just simple word. No words for his hard work. Love from Sri Lanka.🥰
Thanks a lot. It was a lot of hard work indeed.

It has been so calming and educational to watch the progress of the last year, I hope to watch much more of this journey in the coming days, Chad!
Awesome video chad!
Thanks!
I've been watching your videos for a long period of time love the way you create your hut with natural resources an the way you make things from nature keep up the video so entertaining an skillfull
Absolutely loving this summary Chad, I really look forward to seeing each episode you make x your will, determination and skills are fabulous x
Thanks a lot Steph
@@ChadZuberAdventures - you're very welcome, I know you work damn hard to keep this channel going, and I wish you every continued success with it x
Awesome!
Sir, I am from India, I am very happy to see your art. I felt very good. I also want to do something like you.🙏
I salute real first human on the earth ❤️
I saw you posted a comment about Andy Ward's Ancient Pottery, I watch him too and he is very interesting with the ways of doing ‘primitive’ pottery instead of store bought products and electric kiln
And it’s very skilled and his videos are excellent!
Большое уважение упорному человеку! СУПЕР! Отличная школа мастерства! Этот фильм надо показывать в школе, чтобы дети понимали, для чего человеку нужны голова и руки. "Бог дал тебе мозги - дальше САМ!"
Very greatest man good and excellent 👌👍💪your deir man soo thank you very much
It was amazing watching you on this journey chad, good stuff!
I love these videos! Full of content, I don't care if I have to watch 1 hour, just I love it!
Recognized your hard work and appreciate you prayed to the sky whenever you caught something to eat 🙏🏻✨
Thanks!
Ahhh😻no annoying music💗just the sounds of nature💯🙌🏻🙌🏻
Oh wow this is my first time seeing this channel, and he's doing a great job surviving in the wild
Very satisfying to see how far you have come chad. Congratulations
That was cool to watch from beginning to end and to see him through winter then summer with everything thing he did .Showing how it was done in the past.
First you build a shelter, then you build a house, and now you form an Argrar culture. It won't be much longer. In a few years, you will build spaceships (perhaps made of wood :D). You really play reallife civilizastion.
Coal fueled spacecraft to leave this planet.
@@ChadZuberAdventures
You simply burns bark and dry wood (in a wooden stove in a wooden spaceship... :D). All burns :D.
It's amazing to see the start of your primitive episodes and where you are now. Your a very intelligent man and make surviving look easy
Thanks Ronnie!
Wow a year already, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your journey, I’ve learned so much over the last few years and a lot of that is due to the inspirational content, congratulations on all that you have accomplished out there, it really is amazing.

One thing I have learned from your videos Sir, juniper bark is like WD40, a thousand and one uses.
Yucca too
Most underrated channel comparing to the suffer he endure, RUclips need to push this channel at the top level.well done as always ❤️
I appreciate that. Thanks!

Holy cow! Has it really only been a single year? It feels like you have brought us on this journey for a few years now. You have made so much progress in just 1 year! I can't wait to see whats to come!
Again I'm amazed at how strong yet fragile obsidian is. It's volcanic glass and yet it easily crumbles other volcanic rocks with ease. Man that really had to be trying, as well as the shaving itself. Honestly I don't know if I could ever cut my beard, let alone by obsidian fleck razors.
Yeah, it was a lot. I had forgotten half the things I did.

Life gives life to life. Life passes from one to another.
Incredible dedication to this guy living like that 😎
NICE!
Chad, you are the only youtuber that replyes on nearly every comment. You deserve more subscribers.
Thanks. I try. Unfortunately there just isn't enough time in a life to reply to all comments.
You are master of everything! I wish you all the best.
Thank you!

Yooo absolute legendary season!! Love the new profile pic too. Excited to see more of what you will make!

An entire year! Wow! You have done an amazing job, Chad 🔥👊🏻💯💫😎 And as always, given me inspiration to keep going.
Thanks! I need some of that inspiration now.
@@ChadZuberAdventures🤔 I will think of some for you. What type of inspiration do you need?
@@suzywilson Actually I just need a little success in life.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I can understand from your point of view. What you are doing here on your channel and in your day to day life is now the norm. I can see how that might be frustrating you. Like with all of us, we hit a "ceiling" with what we do. I am not trying to assume, I am well aware that you are an individual and I don't understand what exactly is going on. What I do know is that it is common to most humans to feel thus way. So... don't feel too alone in this. I have gone through the same. There are other ways for you to scale your business, Chad. You are just not seeing them 😎. That's ok! Look at what you are not seeing. Have a think about it. I can only speak to your channel and what I see becuase I don't understand your specific and individual frustration. If you ask then I might be able to help with a little more inspiration 🌼
@@ChadZuberAdventures ❤❤❤❤
You've created a whole new world out there in just about 12 months. Hard work and dedication is no match for any adversity. Wishing you all the best in all your future plans and thanks for keeping us updated always. An extra Hai to your friend.
Hey, thanks a lot. Yeah, it's become a home.
I remember when you did each one of these projects. I very much enjoyed watching a recap of the beginning! Hope you are well Chad.

Hi Goodmorning👋👋
Good evening.
These works are the best parts of his life, his journey started with a hut and keeps continue these contents.
I can say this is not just a content to entertain us, we are just watching every daily life of his own world.
He is a living legend, salute to you! Btw can you share me what kind of minecraft shader you're using? Kidding...
Hahahah, I've never even played Minecraft. I get so many MInecraft comments and I can't relate to them.
@@ChadZuberAdventures hahahaha im sorry for that. Minecraft is something like survival too and most of players are using shaders which to make their gameplay better because shaders has realistic shadows and lightings...
Love the content chad! Ik it’s easy to get discouraged from RUclips and everything like that but just to lyk your loyal subscribers are here for you 24/7 and we aren’t in no rush for you to upload content. Much love homie 😎🤙🏾💯
Thanks a lot. How did you know that I've really been struggling with my channel? I can't really afford to go on this way and continue to make videos. I have to make changes. Sadly it's becoming more and more like a full-time job with all the editing and computer work involved. I just want to be out here doing my thing.
@@ChadZuberAdventures You ever thought about making a patreon? I'm sure your fans would love to help you out financially so you can continue what you love!
@@ChadZuberAdventures sorry for the late reply man I can just tell by the views and things like that your channel is massive so the views should be up higher but sadly RUclips is shadow banning you. Try to talk to them if you can my friend. I understand all that bro you work insanely hard to make these RUclips videos bro. If you need break you can take one anytime and if you don’t feel like doing RUclips anymore that is fine as well. Sorry for the long reply 😅 I’m pretty sure that everyone will understand man. Like I said no pressure bro I’m glad you are making content but if it gets too expensive and eats away at your lively hood then you might need a break and I’d 💯 percent understand my friend. But much love man and I’m glad you’re making content bro. Idk if you’ll see this or not but you are awesome guy bro. 🙌🏾🤘🏾💯
@@ChadZuberAdventures I can understand that that day will come eventually. The views you are getting isn't something to write home about looking at the number of subscribers
@@kingelite8990 I don't think they are shadowbanning. This type of content is just sadly not what the algorithm is set to promote the most. o:
Really hope you’re making money Chad from all these hard work
Not much but I'm preparing for a life that doesn't require money.
I love watching you building something with adobe bricks
