Hey Chad. Would it be possible/ feasible to dry the bull kelp fully and then grind the entire thing into a powder? Then you'd have a seasoning that was also fortified by the other things like iodine and magnesium and stuff. 🤔
I think that the fish bone comb would work well for separating the fibers you use to make thread and cordage. You may even be able to use it as a loom to make straps on.
A few uses for the fishbones: 1) you can use each of the individual fish bones as a needle/pen to draw various patterns on handmade pottery or as a writing tool on a clay tablet. 2) You can use then as a needle to create holes in clothes, depending on how hard is the fishbone and how soft is the fabric or leather. 3) Might be useful to use as a tool to create cordage or fabric (like a scraper or fiber separation tool, etc). 4) You can use to scratch your back. 5) Attached to a pole with some cordage, you can use the whole contraption as a long reaching hook of some sort to grab things out or hand's reach, or to bring a tall tree branch to grab fruits.
what i liked about this salt procurement method is that most of the work is passive. you set it up and go do other stuff. didnt know these kelps had this much salt in them either.
the fish skeleton would be perfect for using it as a comb, although the long hair is gone it may not be the most useful tool you could make. maybe use them for needles to make new projects.
Considering sugar cane, tree saps like maple and birch, and honey and many many fruits are readily available in nature and all sources of sugar, I sincerely hope youre being facetious. Sugar isn't that hard to come by. Salt is much harder.
BTW, thank you for covering your eyes with your hand when you broke that rock! Modern flint knappers need to work in a well-ventillated area with safety goggles and either a fan blowing or a filter mask, to avoid tiny rock chips from getting into their eyes or down into their lungs. (Even as late as the Civil War, there were many knappers making flints for flintlock rifles & pistols that suffered from silicosis.)
The way you covered your eyes with a hand while making a stone blade shocked me with its simple effectiveness. We're always so used to always looking at what we're doing that putting out eyes at risk is always a definite possibility we tend to ignore.
The suspense is killing me man, i cant wait for the new season and the new hut... i cant wait to see what new projects you dive into and how you expand your primitive domain out there in the middle of no where.
Dude, I love your channel. Probably my favorite on youtube. Years ago I inquired about joining you out there as the primitive apprentice lol. Something special about being "out there" and learning and engaging with nature. The Western US is especially great to experiment with all this due to immense amounts of BML land and also varied ecosystems to keep things interesting. I'm in Western New York, where public lands are existant certainly but in microfractions at best comparatively. Also, in a lot of our "public lands" we'd get repremanded by some official for "tampering" with nature. Certainly miss the expansiveness of the West where you can seemingly dissapear. Respect. Steve.
Thank you for this fun and educational video. Sorry that you had to self censor for nudity. The human body is beautiful and it's a shame that we're required to sensor.
Well, I wasn't nude. But RUclips is sensitive about the partial appearance of male glutes. It's funny because I bet that if I wore a Brazilian thong it would be just fine with RUclips.
Hai Chad!! It's been a long time. Just wanted to wish you a bombastic new year 2025. I also wanted to appreciate you for all your hardwork and dedication in giving us very interesting and genuine videos about the wild. They have always been informative, inspiring and soothing to watch. Much respect and eagerly waiting for many more of your videos. God bless 😊
man never stopped to ask what you did to flavor your food. salt is taken for granted seeing how cheap it is now days but it was always a valued resource.
I was going to mention Needles but, it's great to see people mention that for sewing clothes. I would like to suggest that a very clean needle perhaps one you boiled and got all the materials off it like skin and blood etc. Then dry it out and whittle the weak parts away. This can then be soaked in salt water for a few minutes and left in the sun to get UV light. Then, you can use it as a needle for sewing up cuts that need it. Not paper cuts but perhaps a slip and fall and a gash is opened. That and some Yucca cord could be used that way including some of your sea salt and kelp. Last thing here was, I thought of a fishing trap. Put it inside and when the fish come in it can basically skewer them in the trap. Just saying, Great Video Mr. Zuber sir.
Interesting thoughts there for sure. I've used yucca and agave thorns to remove splinters or puncture and drain a superficial infection. I will test out the fish bones although they are less dense than the bones of land animals. The fish trap idea is another good one too.
Hello again my fishing friend. Man you brought back so many great memories of my childhood when I was around 6. Since we lived on the oceanfront I would go get a clean small bottle...run down to the beach and fill it full of fresh saltwater from the Atlantic ocean. Then I would sit the bottle on my window sill and in less than a week I would have salt crystals all over the inside of the bottle. I would scrape them out with my mom's wooden spatula and then put it on my food. Who knew 50 years later sea salt would be as big as it is today around the World ! Love the idea of you using Kelp to get your salt. Heck even I wouldn't eat sea salt collected today as I did back then. Way too much urban pollution today. Well take care my friend and you and your pup have an awesome New Year's ! Stay safe. P.S. - That vertebra looked like it may have been from a Yellowtail. But anyways i was thinking that would make a great tool to use to hang strips of meat on for drying or smoking.
Did the loincloth remind you of your childhood too? Haha, just kidding.... How interesting what you did with the bottle to collect sea salt. That's really cool. That's also an interesting idea for the vertebrae.
Hey Chad nice video as always. You're a great inspiration to me and your videos have inspired me to make videos about bushcraft and foraging. Keep up the good work.
Wow. It's fascinating seeing the kelp go from wet and slippy to dry and crusty. What a great idea for that bone. You're very creative, lol. Thanks for sharing!
Perhaps the large fish spine could be used as some kind of weaving mechanism, perhaps a past of a loom of sorts. I’d personal lu try experimenting around with using it as a tool to make other things before disassembling it in hopes of making something.
That's exactly what I was thinking for a use with the fish skeleton. It is a comb. Looks like something from The Flintstones. Great way to collect the sea salt. Cheers, Chad and God Bless! ✌️
Love this man’s videos - very interesting. I also realise that, looking at his physique and general good health, I have been living a totally incorrect lifestyle. 😢

great video. i already knew the things you talked about with the bull kelp, but most probably don't, and it was still fun to watch. also, as soon as you picked up the bones i thought "that would make a great beard comb", and i laughed so hard when you combed your hair with it

The thorn seems quite hard and durable. With a hole at the end it can be used as a sewing needle. I think in a rock cavity, seawater could become salt, but it would certainly take longer to evaporate, and obviously the hottest time would be summer.
Yes, the bones can be used as needles. I've collected salt from small rock depressions before. It is really good but does need time to evaporate and that occurs faster on hot sunny days.
Very cool tarzan love the loincloth too its the bomb and thats a lot of salt you have there as well and that fish bone makes a good comb too keep up the fantastic work
You could make yourself a temporary basket from kelp that could be used to transport more kelp. Perhaps that would be counterproductive however.😅 Great video by the way!
A basket made of kelp would weigh a lot, unless I dried the kelp first. But it readily reabsorbs water, so that's not the best choice. However, the long stipe works well as a ready-made rope and is very strong.
I wonder if you could find a way to cut the kelp into rings and dry or fry them into chip like snacks so you can eat them like a snack to replenish salt

From the appearance of the crystals on the last specimen, I would guess that in addition to sodium chloride, the salt crystals also contain a significant amount of glutamic acid salts and, to a lesser extent, magnesium
@dingus42 It's a bit more than just natural MSG. It's a natural blend of several salts, MSG, and trace minerals. MSG was originally extracted from kelp and purified, but eventually, someone figured out that it was a product of fermentation of glucose by a specific microbe, and now it's almost exclusively bulk produced in massive fermentation tanks using little more than water, glucose, glutamate producing microbes, and acids to control the ph. All pure MSG is identical regardless of how it's produced. So, natural, pure MSG would be virtually indistinguishable from that grown in a vat. The flavor comes from the additional salts, trace minerals, and other impurities in the final product. We've only recently that we've begun to understand that purification doesn't doesn't always make things better. Not all impurities are bad. Many are quite desirable.
Kelp is an important source of many nutrients and micronutrients, including iodine. Chicken eggs, cow's milk, fresh & saltwater fish, shellfish, kelp, & nuts can all supply iodine, helping prevent fatigue, depression, goiters, and can even prevent neurological deficiencies from developing in fetuses & newborns when supplemented in the pregnant or nursing person's diet. Seaweed is considered the highest source of dietary iodine outside of iodized salt (which it was added to in order to keep the salt from turning to mush in high humidity environments, and as a method of controlling the amount being consumed). Kelp may look unappealing to most folks, but it's actually pretty important!
4:14 when you put vinegar in pots they also get that thingy after a while , pourous ones im not sure what minerals they are but some tastet sweet but others so bland you are gagging for a few minutes...... From experience , it can also be yellowish in color
Yeah, cooking a gallon of seawater would take at least a full day. That's a lot of time to be tending to it and energy spent. With this way you just place it and forget it for a week or more.
❤ Hey there Chad, good to see you again and looking great as always. Hope all is well with you and your family. No shoes no shirt, was this filmed in the summer months? And where? Thanks for the video ❤
And looks like there'd be many uses from that bone like for fishing, not being funny but for combing your hair, part of a spear or a needle of some sort. So cool 👍😎
Been drinking sea salt water diluted with distilled water for 2 yrs now for my minerals, never felt better. Hydration at a cellular level and cleases the blood.
Using iodized salt for preservation can alter the taste, texture, and appearance of foods, disrupt fermentation processes, and reduce preservation effectiveness. This makes the final product less palatable, less appealing, and potentially less safe to consume.
Sea salt is the best salt. I'm surprised by the simplicity of your extraction method. I was expecting the evaporation of seawater directly, but this makes more sense. Thanks!
I only use spices when I cook meat and fish. Often I even use kelp to flavor fish soup or clam soup. But with meat my favorite spices are wild laurel sumac seed and wild fennel seed. I grind them in a mortar and rub it into the meat. It is so delicious! Another seasoning that I sometimes use is wild parsley. I dry it and then add it to cooked meals.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Sounds quite tasty. I know about fennel seeds, I like to eat them as is. They help with digestion and improve stomach/gut health as well. Plus it tastes really good. I have tried parsley before, but I usually use cilantro when I cook food. Can you tell me what wild laurel sumac tastes like. It looks like black pepper, but does it have a different taste or similar to black pepper?
@@uzairmansoori59 Laurel sumac has a strong scent. The flavor is a little peppery. It is an oily seed too. I don't know what it most closely resembles though.
Brother Chad, you have done so much research on wild plants; what us good for food, tools, weaving. Thank you for sharing the information with us. Does the fresh or dry kelp taste strongly if salt?
Not only do I research but I actually do it and use these foods and resources extensively in my every day life. Fresh kelp tastes salty like the sea. Dried kelp has an even higher ratio of salt.
Would cutting those Kelp bulbs in half allow for more salt collection? I was thinking as it dries out wouldn't salt also build up inside as well with them being hollow to allow them to float? I was also wondering if there was a way of using fire to speed up the drying process so you wouldn't have to wait as long to get the salt like a oven but with a vent to allow the evaporating water out so that the salt is left behind on the bulb, another way maybe is crushing up the bulb spreading it out on a flat surface and have it dry out that way or would that ruin/lower the chances of salt? Hope that makes some sense
All that makes a lot of sense. Great ideas. I never thought about cutting the pneumatocyst in half. That would give it more surface area exposed to the air and thus an additional layer of salt should form. I'll definitely try that. Using fire to speed up the process is another possibility however I think it still needs to be slow or it may dry to quick and lock the salt inside. But I don't know for sure. I'll have to experiment. Crushing it and then drying it would make it more difficult to collect the salt because it would be all mixed up with pieces of kelp.
@@ChadZuberAdventures What about slicing it into strips? This may sound a bit stupid but is it possible to reuse to bulb after extracting the salt? For example submerging it back in salt water and then re-drying it or once you've dried it once it becomes useless?
@@jobo4756 Reusing the bulb to try to extract more salt would probably give some results. That's another good question and is perhaps worth exploring. I suspect that the bulb would have a tendency to just rot if rewet in saltwater. Who knows? Maybe I'll explore that idea.
When you go into the ocean I'd rather just go naked but I'm definitely not wearing pants because they take forever to dry so a loincloth is the best alternative option.
Unless you are very VERY careful, the job market will just gradually turn you into a lifetime corporate slave. You will do as you're told - always. That's the easy road. The path to freedom is long and arduous and one that few people will commit to. There are no certainties on the path to freedom. You don't know what tomorrow will bring. You will fail multiple times. You will be ridiculed. Your friends will leave you. Your enemies will mock you. Your family will doubt you. You will suffer and nobody will care. You will walk alone in the valley of the shadow of death for a time. But if you stay on the path and travel through that valley you will eventually come out the other side. Because of the trials and tribulations you suffered on the journey you will come out stronger than ever, confident, wise, and filled with understanding and revelation. And then, only then, will you know what to do.

@@IngeniousOutdoors Yeah, I've actually done that before and used it to mix with other ingredients. It can be stored a long time too.

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing them. Needles would definitely work.
I told him before that a fish spine of bones makes for a good Flintstone like comb.

Chad Zuber, Anthropologist!
Happy new year chad!...
Happy New Year!
Your videos are awesome .Specific to the geography and geology I grew up in. Love it!!
Nice! Glad you find the information useful.
just ran into your chanel. I hate the way society ruins the earth stripping it of its resourses. you take what you need in a better manner. your skills are awesome
That's my philosophy.
It's always a pleasure to see your new adventures! Greetings from Puerto Rico! your videos are truly insightful! Thank you!💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😄
Saludos a la Isla del Encanto!
@ChadZuberAdventures HEY!! SALUDOS!!! SI VIENES A PUERTO RICO TE INVITO A COMER MOFONGO CON CAMARONES!! 😁😁 Aparte de saber todas las cosas interesantes de lo primitivo, también sabes español! Y mi pregunta sería ¿Y que usted no sabe entonces?? 😂😂
Gracias por contestar el comentario!
@@miniangel619 He ido a PR uno, dos, tres, CUATRO veces! Y las que me faltan. Jajajaj, tengo un cariño especial para tu gente. A lo mejor regreso en 2025. Te gusta tomar mavi? Sí, hablo español y un poco de otros idiomas pero hay mucho, pero MUCHO que aún no sé. Un abrazo fuerte para ti y feliz año nuevo!
@@ChadZuberAdventures HEY!! GRACIAS CHAD! Y SI! ME ENCANTA EL MAVI JAJAJA de echo cuando era mas joven yo y mis amigos hicimos una hornada de un viaje en pie para "la busqueda del MAVI" que nos tomo 8 horas de caminar para comprar un galon de mavi en ese dia... Gracias por darme ese recuerdo! y igualmente para ti! Te deceo un 2025 fenomenal y lleno de muchas nuevas aventuras que espero ver de sus videos!
Chévere tu recuerdo. Quiero encontrar la planta del mavi para hacerlo.
From the appearance of the crystals on the last specimen, I would guess that in addition to sodium chloride, the salt crystals also contain a significant amount of glutamic acid salts and, to a lesser extent, magnesium
I also read that it contains a lot of potassium.
@ChadZuberAdventures Yes. That would make sense. I can't seem to recall what potassium crystals look like. Maybe I've never actually looked at them
mmmmmmmm.. ..the invention of MSG! 😋
so natural MSG crystals? that must be quite delicious
@dingus42 It's a bit more than just natural MSG. It's a natural blend of several salts, MSG, and trace minerals. MSG was originally extracted from kelp and purified, but eventually, someone figured out that it was a product of fermentation of glucose by a specific microbe, and now it's almost exclusively bulk produced in massive fermentation tanks using little more than water, glucose, glutamate producing microbes, and acids to control the ph. All pure MSG is identical regardless of how it's produced. So, natural, pure MSG would be virtually indistinguishable from that grown in a vat. The flavor comes from the additional salts, trace minerals, and other impurities in the final product. We've only recently that we've begun to understand that purification doesn't doesn't always make things better. Not all impurities are bad. Many are quite desirable.
Kelp is an important source of many nutrients and micronutrients, including iodine. Chicken eggs, cow's milk, fresh & saltwater fish, shellfish, kelp, & nuts can all supply iodine, helping prevent fatigue, depression, goiters, and can even prevent neurological deficiencies from developing in fetuses & newborns when supplemented in the pregnant or nursing person's diet. Seaweed is considered the highest source of dietary iodine outside of iodized salt (which it was added to in order to keep the salt from turning to mush in high humidity environments, and as a method of controlling the amount being consumed). Kelp may look unappealing to most folks, but it's actually pretty important!
I totally agree! Kelp is so underrated. Fortunately, I recognized its value a long time ago.
4:14 when you put vinegar in pots they also get that thingy after a while , pourous ones im not sure what minerals they are but some tastet sweet but others so bland you are gagging for a few minutes...... From experience , it can also be yellowish in color
Good to know
Wow How amazing. Not just boiling sea water to get the salt. As you said the passive way.
Yeah, cooking a gallon of seawater would take at least a full day. That's a lot of time to be tending to it and energy spent. With this way you just place it and forget it for a week or more.
@ChadZuberAdventures And do other things with your time
@@noway934 Exactly
Love your tutorial videos. Keep them reeling 🎥 in!
Yes, thank you. I will.
❤ Hey there Chad, good to see you again and looking great as always. Hope all is well with you and your family. No shoes no shirt, was this filmed in the summer months? And where? Thanks for the video ❤
And looks like there'd be many uses from that bone like for fishing, not being funny but for combing your hair, part of a spear or a needle of some sort. So cool 👍😎
I started filming this in the fall. Happy New Year!
More videos please. 6 in 5 months makes me sad. Loved watching your progression.
I've been busy living the life. Harvest season doesn't wait.
@ChadZuberAdventures I hope we get a ton more when harvest season ends. A light still shines. Even though the star may be gone.
@@Ravenmc7 Yes, a lot of videos will be coming now.
Did youtube request you blur the backside? I've seen videos on youtube alot more graphic than this
No, they didn't request it but I've had videos restricted because of a loincloth before so I'm just taking precautions.
@@ChadZuberAdventures kk. I understand. RUclips can be weird about the things they accept and don't accept.
That’s how it is
Fish bone sewing needles perhaps is another option. 🤔👍
Been drinking sea salt water diluted with distilled water for 2 yrs now for my minerals, never felt better.
Hydration at a cellular level and cleases the blood.
That's great! I always drink a little seawater when I'm at the beach.
Is that Conan the Barbarian or the Beastmaster?
Tengo muchas ganas de ver tu nueva casa!
Pronto, pronto!
The bones could make a way to card wool perhaps too.
Hmmm, interesting idea there.
A fish spine comb is kind of badass. 😂👌
Hell yeah! Better than a Paul Mitchell product!
You can take the ones you can’t eat and use it to fertilize your garden
You could.
The spine of the large fish could possibly be used for combing out fibers
That's definitely a possibility.
I don't know I always saw fish spine as more of a hair braid😂
I trust there will be vids of your new hut build. Can't wait! Mad Love ❤❤❤❤.
Yes, I'm working on that.
The fish bone would have been a great tool to sort out your ropes. To make sure they are untangled.
Interesting idea there.
Using iodized salt for preservation can alter the taste, texture, and appearance of foods, disrupt fermentation processes, and reduce preservation effectiveness. This makes the final product less palatable, less appealing, and potentially less safe to consume.
Hmmm, I will experiment and find out. Perhaps the iodine levels aren't that high. Who knows. I will just observe what happens with my preserved foods.
Sea salt is the best salt. I'm surprised by the simplicity of your extraction method. I was expecting the evaporation of seawater directly, but this makes more sense. Thanks!
Yeah, it's a unique method that I happened upon and have been doing off an on for a few years.
Thank you Chad
Hey Chad, what sort of spices do you usually use when you make food for yourself in your videos? Love you work man.
I only use spices when I cook meat and fish. Often I even use kelp to flavor fish soup or clam soup. But with meat my favorite spices are wild laurel sumac seed and wild fennel seed. I grind them in a mortar and rub it into the meat. It is so delicious! Another seasoning that I sometimes use is wild parsley. I dry it and then add it to cooked meals.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Sounds quite tasty. I know about fennel seeds, I like to eat them as is. They help with digestion and improve stomach/gut health as well. Plus it tastes really good. I have tried parsley before, but I usually use cilantro when I cook food. Can you tell me what wild laurel sumac tastes like. It looks like black pepper, but does it have a different taste or similar to black pepper?
@@uzairmansoori59 Laurel sumac has a strong scent. The flavor is a little peppery. It is an oily seed too. I don't know what it most closely resembles though.
This absolute unit of a man is TEASING us!
Hahahahaha
Maybe you can use the fishbone as some sort of peg loom.
I will have to research that. That would be cool.
You made some really beautiful salt! Would be interesting to get the salt tested to see it's composition.
Great idea. I may do that some time.
@ChadZuberAdventures If the cost would be too much, I'm sure your viewers would love to make this happen
@@Convolutedtubules I have no idea what it may cost so I will have to check it out.
Muy interesante vídeo amigo ,bellos paisajes marinos,muchas gracias por enseñarnos como conseguir sal buena fácilmente 💪🔥🌊
Gracias amiga. Me encanta este proceso. Lo descubrí sin querer cuando coloqué una alga en el sol y unos días después vi como se formaban las sales.
Here's a suggestion, try making fruit juice with fresh fruit and candy natural sugar
I make fruit juice all the time with prickly pears. It's so sweet and delicious.
Could you drill a hole in the dried kelp and fill with sea water to have a continuous supply?
I have no idea. That's a very interesting thought though.
Dude knows all the hacks!
Hoi from Bunnik. Great to see you again!
Hello there!
Brother Chad, you have done so much research on wild plants; what us good for food, tools, weaving. Thank you for sharing the information with us. Does the fresh or dry kelp taste strongly if salt?
Not only do I research but I actually do it and use these foods and resources extensively in my every day life. Fresh kelp tastes salty like the sea. Dried kelp has an even higher ratio of salt.
@ChadZuberAdventures Thank you. Drying the bulbs for salt was really interesting. Happy New Year to the whole family! 😀😃
@@lindaseel9986 Happy New Year to you too
Would cutting those Kelp bulbs in half allow for more salt collection? I was thinking as it dries out wouldn't salt also build up inside as well with them being hollow to allow them to float?
I was also wondering if there was a way of using fire to speed up the drying process so you wouldn't have to wait as long to get the salt like a oven but with a vent to allow the evaporating water out so that the salt is left behind on the bulb, another way maybe is crushing up the bulb spreading it out on a flat surface and have it dry out that way or would that ruin/lower the chances of salt?
Hope that makes some sense
All that makes a lot of sense. Great ideas. I never thought about cutting the pneumatocyst in half. That would give it more surface area exposed to the air and thus an additional layer of salt should form. I'll definitely try that. Using fire to speed up the process is another possibility however I think it still needs to be slow or it may dry to quick and lock the salt inside. But I don't know for sure. I'll have to experiment. Crushing it and then drying it would make it more difficult to collect the salt because it would be all mixed up with pieces of kelp.
@@ChadZuberAdventures What about slicing it into strips? This may sound a bit stupid but is it possible to reuse to bulb after extracting the salt? For example submerging it back in salt water and then re-drying it or once you've dried it once it becomes useless?
@@jobo4756 Reusing the bulb to try to extract more salt would probably give some results. That's another good question and is perhaps worth exploring. I suspect that the bulb would have a tendency to just rot if rewet in saltwater. Who knows? Maybe I'll explore that idea.
Don't know when you went from full skin 2 jus' loin but that's primitive Chad ...A1 primitive 🎉🎉❤
When you go into the ocean I'd rather just go naked but I'm definitely not wearing pants because they take forever to dry so a loincloth is the best alternative option.
Have you ever tried making a clay still and boiling sea water to get fresh water and salt?
No, I haven't done that yet. Perhaps I will though. I have to get some other things built first.
Hey Chad, I've been wondering if you've ever considered creating more primitive tools or primitive alloys.
Yes and yes. It all takes time.
got the salt, now if only pepper was that easy to get
I have another seed that is similar to pepper.
Hmmm... not sure why you'd need a Flintstone comb but I was thinking sewing needles or fishing hooks?
Muy interesante, una sal que contiene mas sales, ojalá la tuviera aqui. Te sigo desde una isla del Mediterráneo (Sardegna). Gracias por todo 🤗
No hay alga marrón allí?
@ChadZuberAdventures perdona si contesto con atraso, estoy distraído,
Yo nunca he visto ese alga, aquí más que otro hai posidonia.
@@costantinocau6200 No sé entonces.
practical and informative as always
Glad you enjoyed.
What does it take to live a life like this? I just graduated college and I am becoming disillusioned with modern living/the job market.
Unless you are very VERY careful, the job market will just gradually turn you into a lifetime corporate slave. You will do as you're told - always. That's the easy road. The path to freedom is long and arduous and one that few people will commit to. There are no certainties on the path to freedom. You don't know what tomorrow will bring. You will fail multiple times. You will be ridiculed. Your friends will leave you. Your enemies will mock you. Your family will doubt you. You will suffer and nobody will care. You will walk alone in the valley of the shadow of death for a time. But if you stay on the path and travel through that valley you will eventually come out the other side. Because of the trials and tribulations you suffered on the journey you will come out stronger than ever, confident, wise, and filled with understanding and revelation. And then, only then, will you know what to do.
Eba. Sou o primeiro a te ver.... 😊😊😊 Boa noite meu querido chaaaaad.❤
Boa noite Marcos
Finally! I've been waiting for this one.
Finally! Sorry it took so long.
