Preparing Materials for Primitive Fish Traps and the Black Hawk (episode 13)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Survival is about adaptation, and adapting to this new environment has been very challenging, especially in the primitive way. The pace of progress is so slow that it often frustrates me but I know that when I complete certain important projects then life will be easier. I really want to devote some time to making good fish traps so I can catch some fish. The protein and fat content will be very beneficial to my diet. I just have to find the appropriate natural materials and utilize bushcraft skills to make this happen. 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...

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.
These videos are for some reason very comforting to watch. I'd love doing something like this myself once for a while
It's a truly awesome experience.
That (hollow) sound the dead cow carcass made was like an old rusted car as soon as you started picking bits off it. Makes you realise that we all are just vehicles of flesh that need to be fed, rested, refuelled etc.
You are so right about that. Sounds just like it.
You inspired me to shed my “dad bod“ and become the primal man I always knew I was. (To be clear, I'm still a dad. The family is safe.)
Lol, but congrats. Being fit does so much for your mental health.
😂
Ha!
Shed your Dad Bod for a Chad Bod
Profile Picture Checks out
That black hawk is telling you to stay away from his fish xD
I thought the same thing lol. ... but maybe he's noticing the bird because he wants feathers or a pet.... meal lol. Or maybe he's just annoyed.
Chad zuber
Please do not talking has green and blue due algae for animals die
Still be carefull
These videos really make you appreciate the simple pleasures we have in life. I'm grateful for everything I have even though I live a very simple life. This video made me appreciate my shower 🙃
That is so true! It's what I tell people all the time when they say how much they'd like to do what I'm doing. When you're dirty, thirsty, hungry, tired, hot, sweaty, itchy, etc., all you want is to soak in a cold bath while drinking your favorite iced smoothie!
Thank you for these videos, Chad. The amount of work you put into them is amazing and really allows the viewer to experience it vicariously through you. I always love a nice hiking trip, but I don't think I'd be cut out for what you do. It does seem really peaceful though.
Also, I wanted to mention that my one year old daughter greatly enjoys your videos, too. It's pretty funny. Your videos are the one thing that keeps her absolutely mesmerized. She'll get super excited when she hears the familiar beat of the drums in the beginning of an episode and then just sit there and watch you document your time in nature. She must have an appreciation too even at such a young age haha.
That’s true, gradually things will start to come together. When you start with nothing, it’s slow going at first. Especially when it’s hot.
No kidding! But it will all move forward a lot faster once the hut is made.
Soon he’ll have a car he build him self
I feel like I'm moving with you
Good that you change places
I love your videos good luck
Thanks a lot!
That bird was probably hyped that the one and only Chad Zuber was here.
Hahhahaah!
Haha, agree. 🙂
Amazing adventure!! Thanks for uploading videos on RUclips.
Thanks for watching!
Always nice to see a notification pop up from your channel!
Thank you so much for watching!
أكثر من رائع !
استمر يا تشاد أنت أصبحت مصدر إلهام لنا للمثابرة نحو النجاح وحياة الرضى.
More than great !
Keep going, Chad, you become a source of inspiration for us to persevere towards success and a fulfilling life.
I am one of your followers from Syria.
Hi Fadi! How are you?
When I’m watching this kind of video, quickly my body and my mind feel pretty relaxed, I usually watch this kind of video when I’m going to sleep 😅
Same 😅
Several people have told me that.
Hahahahaha, oh boy. Guilty. I thought it was just me. 😂
Patience is a virtue. And that and that, my friend, you have plenty!
I'm quickly learning about patience out here.
Can only do so much in the heat and with extremely limited supplies! I think your progress is good. You're starting from nothing which takes longer than having already prepared things. If you had previously made fish traps, bigger water pots, etc before you came to this spot then I'm sure you'd have completed a lot more already. But this is part of the journey! This is how it would be if you had to throw away everything basically and start over. Or if you had to book it and run in an apocalyptic scenario. Don't go back to grab your cloak!
You are so right about that! I want to discover what this land can provide me.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Going to shoot you a friend request, girl with the gravestone
It's such a good news that you have found an alternative method to catch fish. With the materials of yucca fibers and mule fat, I think you should try making a fish-tackle called "nơm" in Vietnamese (this is a very tradtion, effective way to catch fish in my country). It is worth doing some research, and I hope that my idea will help you make a good fish-catching tool in the next videos!
I'm still wondering, why didn't you set your camp near the river?
Same, why hiking there all the time...
Many reasons, humidity and mosquitos are one of them.
Lots of wild life, like deer I know that seems like a good thing but he is not hunting big game and it could wake him up causing loss of sleep. There isn't much clay near rivers so he would have to hike
farther. Small wild life like rabbits Etc don't bed down near rivers they usually move farther away (Farther hike if he want's to hunt.) Animals are usually moving by there a lot for water so they could mess with his food and I could imagine a deer with its nose in one of his pots eating seeds lol. Even fish jumping out of the water every 10 seconds could mess with his sleep. It takes a while to boil the water and he only gets a small amount from waiting 25-40 minutes for it to boil, it is smarter to set-up camp near a small mountain spring coming out of a little cliff side; so he doesn't have to wait for it to boil.
@@English_Police even so, it feels like hes walking a solid hour to get to the river. His current location has nothing special, while in river there is a fish + you can set up traps for animals coming to drink, you can wash yourself twice a day and making bricks would be easier with a water source. He shouldnt sleep right at the shore ofc, but i think he would be better having a camp much closer to a river.
Cause of big predators coming to the river.
Hermoso vídeo amigo,debe ser maravilloso estar ahí en ese lugar sin ruidos de ciudad,😂Ese Halcón estaba reclamandote el territorio,observandote todo el tiempo,¿recuerdas que en otro vídeo que hiciste en tu lugar preferido había otros pájaros que te observaban todo el tiempo?👏👏👏ánimo ya te desenvolveras mejor ahí.
Sí, me gusta el halcón. Es mi cómplice. Las aves observan todo desde arriba.
@@ChadZuberAdventures you had a great idea of going to nature, there is no one to disturb you and the breathing is much better than in the city..
Thank you for sharing! Great as always!
My pleasure!
Hermoso video, cómo siempre , un abrazo virtual desde Bariloche 🌷 Patagónia Argentina 🌷
Gracias Daniela! Saludos a Patagónia!!!
Of all the primitive survival vidios on you tube, only your vidios are worth watching 😊
Love from Pakistan
I can empathise, Chad! I'm in the same headspace. What calmed me is remembering the story of the tortoise and the hare. Sometimes speed is not the priority but consistency is.
Hi suzy you look great, where you from....
Yeah, that's so true. It will be a great feeling when it's done.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Absolutely! Any forward movement towards goal is better than no movement.
Wouldn't pulling yucca leaves between two smooth long sticks cramped close required less energy?
I love this series sooooo much!
It would be so tragic if someone else other than Chad finds the things he left there for his/her own survival videos. He then prepares a video 'Found The Materials for My Hut' :D
there is nobody in that area for miles. None of the other survival channels do shit this real and difficult.
I have not yet seen another person in this area, nor any evidence left behind from people. That's what I love about this place.
I loved the moving night sky at the start dissolve into the dawn. I feel if those fish knew what was coming thay would swim upstream right now. Thanks Chad
Poor little babies... I'll be eating them soon!
@@ChadZuberAdventures A man's got to survive in the wild!
Good afternoon. Try to get a fire from the yuki fiber, by rolling between two flat surfaces. Perhaps this will be the easiest and most universal way to produce fire for you. I am grateful in advance for your creativity.
For some reason your videos are so relaxing to watch, don't know why. Anyways, keep up the good work man!
ดีมากๆ ดูทุกวันค่ะ ให้ความรู้ดีในการเอาชีวิตรอด
Nice works
Wouldn’t it be great if the camera accidentally panned too much to the right and revealed boxes and boxes of Count Chocula cereal?
Hahahah! But I guarantee it wouldn't be cereal you would see but rather lots of eggs, beef, and venison.
these videos are good to watch while working out, idk why.
You can easily make a yucca bowstring strong enough for your bow. It's a favorite among plenty.
Others might include stinging nettle, or that leg tendon cinew.
Oh make hide glue!!!! Make it out of that nasty old cow hide, it should work.
The other thing I forgotten to mention, juniper works very well as a bow unseasoned. It's resistance to checking and low moisture content make it an excellent choice for unseasoned bow.
Thanks for the tips! I'm actually experimenting with a simple juniper bow. I've made yucca bowstrings in the past and they worked well too. But what is hide glue??? I never heard of that.
I just looked up hide glue. Apparently it is not good in hot climates because it becomes soft. It wouldn't work here in the summer.
@@ChadZuberAdventures so that's where a snakeskin comes in handy.
It acts as a waterproof barrier and adds that special touch....
Historically hide glue was used in everywhere. You definitely don't want to soak it in water. But with that rawhide or snakeskin, I assure you it will work very well.
You know ishi? His bow was a sinew backed juniper flat bow. He used it on the California/ Oregon coast where it rains all day.
Trust me it'll work.
Hola ¿porque no hiciste la cabaña mas cerca del agua?
Porque me encanta el lugar donde escogí.
I greatly admire your pottery skills. I can't make anything better than a coiled
clay vessel that looks like a six year old made it. 😆
Great! Pozdrowienia z polski
Muy buen vídeo, esperando con ganas el siguiente!!
Yo tambien!
I can't wait to see how it's gonna work
Me too!
are you not afraid of parasites when you wash in the river? that's pretty risky
That's pretty rare actually...
I don't think it's very risky because I've washed in many rivers over the past several years and never got anything.
New episode:i'm happy :)
Me too! :-)
RESPECT FROM PAKISTAN 🇵🇰
YOUR CHANNEL HAS GROWN SIR ❤️❤️
Great JOB very informational too
Well, Chad, you've clearly giving the feel of progression onto something bigger. Fish ain't gonna elude you for much longer and I wonder what you gonna make with these bones.
P.S: That black hawk ain't liking your sights upon his prey o'fishes.
Yeah, the fish will be mine soon enough. I'm still pondering ideas to use the bones.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Fish can be caught with a basket
Man turned off Dino taming for maximum difficulty this is by far the best scorched earth gameplay I have seen in a while the graphics are amazing
The life you choose is right, we will always follow.
Yeah, it would probably work for soft dirt but not tough earth like this.
Keep Going strong 💪 Chad! You will accomplished your tasks in no time.. That Hawk do be yelling a lot! Lol 🦅
Little by little. The hawk is like a construction foreman!
Love what you do! You inspired me to ground myself, further find my center and educate myself in herbology.
You seek comfort when you feel uncomfortable and when you reach comfort you seek for challenges.
Yes! That is a good point.
That bashing rock to the wood sounds like an ASMR
yeyy finally the fishing! i waited sooooo long to see this ep! now lets enjoy this 14 mins
no fishing :(
@@levikoek4064 yeah just preparation. maybe the next ep.
@@StaySynth3tic i hope so
Love these videos!
Glad you like them!
beautiful hawk, and sometimes slower is better
تجربه العيش والاعتماد عالطبيعه تجعلنا نقدر الاشياء السهله برغم من صعوبتها
Base camp Green nature and fish to catch nice video
FINALLY, YOU SPEAK. PLEASE SPEAK MORE... THANKS
When you make a rope, try to use part of it to make a sling. Perhaps this will allow you to get meat food.
Hi Chad, I think the hawk is screaming for a reason. He's guarding something. : - =)
That could be. He started screaming while I was coming down the hill. He was soaring above the stream at the time.
Chad siempre es un placer verte, Gracias abrazo desde Uruguay. 🤗
Amazing episode Tarzan looking forward to seeing the next one you're making huge progress for sure
👌👌 احبك من العراق 🇮🇶
We have are different techniques of catching fish and know Mr Chad knows what he’s doing
I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm learning.
Very good 🤙🤟👏👍
Thank you!
GOD BLESS YOU CHAD ZUBER
The next time you soak yucca fibers in a pond, tie them with a rope to a peg or a hammered stick on the shore and press them with a stone in the water then they will not be carried away by the current. P.S. With greetings from Russia and successful survival
Sick lifestyle! ❤❤❤ LOVE from Cappadocia! 💙💙💙
Holla amigo
that hawk sounds almost like a screeching baby 😀
Banana cucca is very important material In the isolate area as in desert,even the thorn of banana cucca can fix the clothes and can make a hook for fishing,too.It' s wondetful grasses.
Super video ❤️❤️
That black hawk was like: no way is that Chad Zuber
Hahhaah
ชอบ นก อินทรีย์มากๆครับ
Can’t tell if that river is suffering algal bloom or just general algae growth.
I think it's just normal algae growth that occurs in the summer in hot climates.
Super 😊👍👍👍👍👍
Damn. That Hawk wasn’t happy about your presence at all !
That’s the truth! He was barking at me like a junkyard dog!
I don't think what a primal people fishing with the line and hooks usually , please try fishing with webs and underwater traps , sorry for my english , greating from Ukraine
The hawk was likely warning you "Hey man your stuff is going to wash away" but more than likely he was yelling at you to stay away from his fish haha.
yes! finally making a fish trap! good!
Finally!
Excelente video . Un gran saludo desde MEXICO 🤠🇲🇽
Muchas gracias!!
Necessity is the mother of invention
Yes! Another good quote.
That black hawk : Human! HOW DARE YOU STEP INTO MY DOMAIN!
The caveman beard is really coming in well.
It's starting to annoy me.
you should apply for Alone! 500 thousand dollars, you have a shot! especially if you start out fat and know the area well. and can take it psychologically... cause that s why 90% fail. i d apply too if they ever made an international version!
I tried out for Alone, Naked and Afraid, Survivor, and a few other survival shows but I was not selected for any.
I just hope that that rock holding the yucca in place didn't get knocked off for some reason lol.
Have you thought of making an umbrella or parasol of sorts, so instead of having to wear the deerskin cloak you could still get protection from the sun and less heat being trapped closer to you? It could even serve as rain protection as well, if you make it watertight.
But then I'd have to hold the parasol. The cloak is quite nice actually. I have no complaints.
Great. 😀🖖👍

Fale!
Clip trong rừng hay lắm ạ
We share thise video on my facebook my friend... I supporting
Thanks a lot Edmund!
@@ChadZuberAdventures no problem my friend,i hope one day we can have collabs,and you can visit me here in the philippines...
Very nice bro 👍
Thanks a lot!
Such a cute bird
Deje de ver tus vídeos 6 meses porque me castigaron pero estamos de vuelta para darle línea a chad zuber lo amamos a rufos igual seguimos aquí subscritos a tu canal amo la supervivencia ,campismo , bushcraft desde los 10 porcierto tengo 11 saludos desde san Luis potosi
Que bien que ya saliste de la cárcel! Jijiji, en sero. Bienvenido y espero que tengas oportunidades para practicar más bushcraft.
@@ChadZuberAdventures si chad muchas gracias por contestarme en cerio gracias ya estoy practicando ise la técnica del vídeo donde nos enseñas a a ser fuego y lo ise y me salío gracias chad
@@ChadZuberAdventures una pregunta en donde vives en que país o estado
5:00 Primal Tendoncies hehe.
Very witty
You are very special, I really like your videos, where the place you make this video? Can I know? It's so beautiful
Thank you but I can't tell you where it is.
It's really wild
What is your off-camera gym routine? I suspect that you need to train 'normally' to keep these muscles. Apart from the question, the video is great. It makes you appreciate all the things readily available in life as well as the challenges of simple life which then reward you with hand-crafted tools and a sharp mind to survive in unfavourable environments.
I only worry that this mattress might be found as a awesome home for some spider or scorpion wandering around. I think you should give it a good shake everyday before resting on it.
I'm right in the middle of the winter ❄️ here at Brazil. Omg, I miss the heat. o.o
Chad your awesome, I feel like I'm watching Tarzan in the jungle. I am going to try your natural shampoo that you made from a plant. I would think that it would be really healthy for your hair. I love your videos please keep them coming. It's like I'm watching a premitive Tarzan in the jungle. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.🤗❤️🌈
Thanks!
AMAZING BRO :))
Thanks bro!!
The black hawk is cheering for you.
when the chad is actually the god damned chad
Hahahahaha
Great stuff
