Primitive Trick to Get Drinking Water in the Desert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 май 2024
- Don't do what I do unless you are in a real survival situation or you are prepared to deal with potential consequences. I have consumed raw wild water in many places and only one time did I ever get a very mild case of diarrhea and that happened in a river that passed through several towns in Mexico. I have consumed water from springs and streams in deserts, mountains and coasts many times without any other treatment to it but I don't recommend it and I know there are potential risks. However, I am willing to take the chances in order to prepare my body to be tolerant of bacterias and pathogens and to gain more primitive survival confidence in the wild. In this video I show how the nature can provide the basic resources necessary to keep you alive if you should run out of water. Sometimes water can be found in the desert at the base of mountains. Just find a sandy or rocky wash and follow it up. Look for areas that are unusually green. If you find moisture you can usually dig down and create a small pool to collect this vital fluid.

watching this as if I’ll ever get stuck in the desert lol
(the oil industry) "hold my beer"
(Dune fans) "And my spice."
I don't think people plan to get stuck in the desert lol.
I love Arizona desert is so beautiful but easy to die in
@@StelznerGamingonly ret**ds use 'lol'.
What he's doing is good knowledge good teaching. The world as we know it can change by war or anything else you can think of and then all that my friend here as been teaching us comes in to play.
Water shortages, food shortages, clothes shortages, house shortages... Survival time
Absolutely correct.
The world is a very volatile place right now. I don't foresee a good future for us.
@@ChadZuberAdventures agreed but still praying for better times
Thx for the entertaining & educational vids in the meantime
You never know when having some small general survival know-how can prove to be vital
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
Just want to take a moment to appreciate how good you are with closeups and filming in general! Thanks for all you do!
I appreciate that so much. I love closeups. I love detail.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience. You seem to have great survival skills in the wild. However, it's important to always remember that drinking untreated wild water carries significant health risks and can be seriously harmful.
It's always best to seek out clean water sources and properly treat them before consumption to ensure health safety.
I must say, I am very impressed with your other survival videos. You share your experiences in an engaging and informative way, highlighting vital skills for surviving in harsh conditions. Keep up the inspiring and helpful content!
Here’s the thing though. Survival isn’t in optimal conditions. In a survival situation you could be faced with two choices and neither choice is ideal.
True, survival often requires making tough decisions in less-than-ideal circumstances.
It's about adapting and making the best decisions possible with the options available. This is especially true in environments like deserts, where agricultural resources are scarce, or forests and mountains, where the terrain adds additional challenges.
I bet the bugs and insects appreciate the little pool you made for them. 😊 Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.
Yeah, it was like a little water park for them. But I returned it to the way I found it when I left.
The one thing I'd be extra cautious about is getting any untested/untreated water near your eyes. It's not just bacteria that can be a problem, but also microscopic parasites. Your guts have hydrochloric acid to help weaken such things (though not completely eliminate all such hazards), but your eyes do not. As Chad says, calculate your genuine needs versus the potential risks, and determine for yourself if it's right for you to do a particular thing, given your current situation.
I don't have any knowledge about waterborne pathogens infecting the eyes. I have swam in many rivers and streams and never had a problem with the eyes so I've never thought about that.
Gourd! ? I saw an egg 😅 This is my first time seeing a gourd 😀 Amazing 😄 Thank you for letting me know 😀
🤣 It looks like an egg but it is not an egg.
Awesome find Chad. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Chad! I'll watch your videos for a few hours at a time! I learn so much from you! Although.. sometimes I see you doing something that I think is slower or harder than the way I'd do it. I'm from AZ, and my brother & I would often go exploring out in the desert off of I-17 between PHX and Flagstaff, around the top of Walnut Canyon, where down in the canyon are a lot of ancient Indian cave dwellings. We'd often find broken pottery shards on the ground when we'd go gather Pinon nuts. We both had several survival books and my brother did ADVENTURE DISCOVERY group for young teens to learn survival skills. He and another boy spent the night above where the trees can no longer grow with only a blanket to share. I really was into botanical healing, and my friend owns Winter Sun Trading Post in Flagstaff. I learned a lot from her as well as books. If you do get sick out where you are, is there anything to use if you get sick from the water? Thanks! Stay safe! Nancy in ABQ
Thanks for sharing all this. Hey, I’m learning as I go. I often don’t thing things through too much and just do things as ideas come. I’m sure there are better ways to do a lot of the things I do… That area you described sounds amazing. I would love to explore there. I’ve never found pottery shards are other artifacts.
Вот собственно и урок по выживанию: Если не хочешь умереть от обезвоживания, и найти воду - то надо искать ее там, где обитают насекомые, и вырыв ямку с водой, кое-как напиться хоть и не совсем кристальной, но все-же водичкой, дабы утолить жажду и приглушить это обезвоживание. Спасибо, Чед, ибо ты показываешь правильные уроки, и многие благодаря этому выживают.
my man is JACKED
Damn I just found a goldmine I love this type of channel!
Welcome aboard! I hope you enjoy the videos.
Old man here.
My dad told me a long time ago (1970s) if you DON'T see any BUGS in the water, DON'T drink it.
NO bugs in the water almost guarantee's something is wrong with the water.
It's also best not to drink stagnant (not moving) water unless that's all you have.
.
Good point. This water was moving too. It’s a seep.
@@ChadZuberAdventures 👍
Another excellent video for teaching. Thank you my friend.
My pleasure!
.Another excellent video for survival to minimise sickness risks boil the water and put charcoal for less risk
But if that is not an option?
Hey Chad, glad to see you’re still kicking it! Wish you the best of luck with rebuilding your hut!
Thanks! Yeah I’m still breathing.
Great video. Thank you for loading. Have a great day
You too
You're the man Zuber.
Nicely demonstrated Mr. Zuber . That desert looks like the Sonoran? Thanks and all the best.
I can’t specify which desert publicly
@@ChadZuberAdventures I understand .
I heard the flies & it reminded me of outback Australia. 😆😆
I grew up digging for water on the sides of dry sandy & stony riverbeds & streams in the outback.
In most landscapes where you observe a gap in a range, series of hills & such there you will find water. It will flow along the geology of this terrain & the water table will be more accessible at these points, a foot or 3 beneath the surface if it has not already formed a small surface pool. Once you dig down water will seep into your hollow.
In these geological gaps if there is exposed rock you will likely find water seeping from rock faces for the same reasons...geological layers.
You may also find water in boggy spots if there is plant cover on the sides of gaps. You will have to explore.
Any safe plants can be licked for dew, especially nectar plants.
Certain plants store water in roots, unusual fruits and act as receptacles for edible insects high in fat & water.
Get to know your local flora.
Observe where insects & birds gather in your quest for water.
Along coastal.areas plants like Samphire , Pig face, aloe are all readily edible. Most sea algaes too. Learn your plants.
If you can get close to the source it is best. I followed a small stream all the way to the spring as it dripped out of the rock not always possible but slightly safer. Great video I love it when you walk in the desert, I live in the semi desert and water is always on your mind and how to save even cupfuls. Its a dry year here so far.
I walked up a little further but found only dry sand. In places like this water travels underground and occasionally is seen at the surface in some places.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Hi yes we have a rambler on our land but its bone dry 99% of the time but it's fed by underground springs. If you dig deep in the sand you do get to water. I have a small spring running under the house that remains wet most of the time. The boar dig the sand up to get to the water and in so doing makes a pool the other animals drink from. Thank you for the work you put into the videos we only see the end product for a few minutes of video but there are days of work to get that.
Fine video.
I appreciate this kind of vids😊👍👍
That’s good. Thank you.
Awesome video. Keep going Chad
Thank you 👍
Awesome job Tarzan that's a sweet trick for sure :)
Hey Amauri
@@ChadZuberAdventures yo what's up
The desert is an ideal place to be if there is a nuclear attack on cities. I love watching you my friend I appreciate the wisdom and understanding you share.
patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
@@oodle6126try the Sonoran desert in June it’s over 100 f sometimes 118 on really hot days it’s dry heat like a oven then comes august and September monsoon season it’s still over 110 but it’s also humid like Florida so it’s suffocating to put it least Tucson Arizona has humbled me when it comes to heat I mean I lived in Texas and Florida most my life but it’s different
@@oodle6126beat me to the punch
@@Platinum3216I was making a reference to Fallout: New Vegas
It is ideal because few could survive in the harsh conditions of the desert. Therefore people in the desert are less likely to be targeted.
Mantap bro Zuber! Menambah pengetahuan saya... Semoga sehat dan berbahagia🎉
That's some really nice mate 🧉👌
You can soak a sage, or sage brush leaf in the water for antiviral and bacterial properties or just suck on the leaf and then drink the water and spit the leaf out after wards if it’s too strong.
Yes, there are plants with many good properties that may be useful to treat water. I haven't explored or tested this theory but it makes sense.
Good stuff to know 👍
@@ChadZuberAdventures Right, it may not be fool proof but these plants have anti viral, anti bacterial and anti parasitic properties.
Hello again my fish story friend.
As i watch this i always think back to how much one day i want to visit the desert.
My family and i went to California back in the late 1970's and i begged my uncle who lived in CA to take me to the desert but sadly it never happened.
However maybe one day.
Take care my friend and as always thanks for the educational videos.
Stay safe !
I'll take you to the desert if you come out here.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I shall keep that in mind my friend.I do appreciate your kindness.
following the tips from Brazil
Excellent. Great video. 😀🖖👍
Man this make me think of Fallout New Vegas. At least the water ain't radioactive.
amazing
I have faith in you chad zuber and i know if someone can survive a apocalypse it is you and keep up the good work❤❤

Very good❤❤❤❤
Love your content Chad
Thank you
Hey Chad, love the video as usual, however I just have a question l, why not boil the water in the eggshell?
That probably wasn’t necessary because this water travels far underground. Making a fire takes time and energy. It all depends on the situation how one addresses the risk factor.
@@ChadZuberAdventures ohhh okay, thank you for explaining
eres muy bueno
saludos desde argentina
Saludoooossss
Parabéns pelo vídeo
Obrigado
Did you get sick after drinking the ground water from a gourd ?
No, I did not.
Well, that's a dillema. You either do not drink water and die from dehydration or take a risk and have a chance to survive. With the option of drinking water from a "shady" source, we might aslo get problems with stomach and it could be fatal too. On the other hand, is it better to choose certain death over chance to survive? Certainly not. That's interesting video, thank you.
I believe that this water was quite safe because it travelled far underground before I collected it. I didn't get ill from it either. (I lived long enough to edit and upload this video, haha).
It looked well filtered.
hola buena manera de sobre vivir Genial 🙂🙂😊🖐️
Saludos!

That's what your appendix is for! Well specifically it is for storing intestinal bacteria to replenish those lost to diarrhea.
Your appendix is to help digest grass and milk,way back in the day when that was all that was available food wise, evolution has made the appendix a organ that's no longer needed therefore many people opt to have it removed.
@@solidsnakesimulation666 No the appendix does not help digest any food directly, that is speculation. It does ,however, house loads of bacteria meant to be a store in times where the microbiome is low and needs balancing, such as the case with having frequent bouts of diarrhea. Also babies are able to digest milk pretty much from the get go and the appendix does not do literally anything to help this process. Since youtube hates copypasting directly from sources I now have to reply again to correct this tik tok misconception, my source by the way is the entirety of the internet.
I still have all my organs and I intend on keeping them. If they are there they have a purpose.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Exactly! There usually isn't a need to remove the appendix unless the bacteria runs rampant and gets out of control. Most people won't encounter any issues with it and thus it is not advised to get rid of it. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Also if it isn't broke, don't fix it. 👍
@@claytucker5025 Hey, I think that many organ removals are unnecessary anyway. It saddens me whenever I hear of someone having an organ removed.
Chad, você é mais que um super😂😂😂😂 astro de Hollywood
Так вот что за страшные звуки я потом слышал из кустов в пустыне! Вы меня напугали)) Не пейте больше грязную воду!
Ха-ха-ха! Мне жаль, что я разбудил тебя от сна.
have you ever gotten sick from any of the water you drink untreated. Seems like you don't always boil the water
I wrote about this in the description of this video. Only one time in 2017 while exploring a canyon in Chiapas, Mexico did I get mild diarrhea from the river water.
We need longer videos, the kind we can watch to b4 going to sleep

This was great. I have a question. How did people in biblical times, or native North Americans filter water, to make it safe to drink, if the water wasn't that clean? What did they use for that purpose? Cheers, Chad! ✌️
Good question, I wonder if their gut bacteria could have handled more, too. Or if bacteria wasn't as advanced as it is now.
I have not studied much about water preparation in the past but what I have read is similar to what I did. An Indian well was common. I first experienced the Indian well over 30 years ago at a river near a tiny village in Mexico. I observed the locals dig a hole in the sand on the bank of the river and drink the water that gathered in the hole. The surrounding sand filters it. Of course this can only be done in uncontaminated rivers but it was a very common technique. I've also seen how the Maya people would take a huge limestone rock, chip out a hole in it like a mortar and suspend the hollowed stone up above the ground with branches. Then water is poured into the hollowed stone and very slowly seeps through the limestone and drips into a clay container below where it can then be consumed. In this video I collected water using the Indian well technique but instead of next to a river it was in a seep. I didn't find more water above the seep so the water had to travel a long way underground before it surfaced where I collected. Therefore I believe that it should be safe.
Back then, and even in many places of the world now, people do what he did. Don't drink the sediment and hope for the best. To this day, in remote areas and poor/3rd world countries water-born illnesses are still rampant.
@@daneh6240 People who don't have water that's treated are just as likely to get sick now as ever. Guts/bacteria haven't changed that much. Less people die now because of treatment, that's all.
I wonder if theres a certain process to make the water somewhat safer to drink without a fancy tools or boiling it; buy maybe boiling it is the only way to go? If so i wonder how do you even boil a water without proper pan in survival situation
The water could be boiled in this container by suspending the gourd with water in it just above hot coals. The skin of this gourd is thin but if done carefully the water inside would prevent it from burning.
Does the human body build up a tolerance or imunity to any troublesome contents of the water? And could you reduce infection risk by letting the sun hit the water in the cup for a while, so UV radiation can kill some germs that may be in it?
I think it's better to start fire first then boil the water to get rid of germs but in extreme cases where you can't do all that this video is accurate, survival tramples everything else.
Why u think in india they can drink from the same river they burry their dead in ? Now u try that and guess what?
and no, sun uv will just increase the germs
I believe that the body does build up a tolerance to pathogens but it needs exposure to pathogens for that to occur. It also needs a strong defense (army) of protective bacteria and who knows what else. This good defense is acquired in the wild, not in products on the shelves of stores. Most modern people lack this defense system. That's why I don't recommend people do what I do unless they are prepared to go through the long period of adjustment required by the body.... Regarding UV treatment for the water, I really don't know anything about that....
Mati sekarang atau nanti itu adalah pilihan.
Mantab om zuber...😊
Dan pada akhirnya kita semua mati.
App ka jangel ka name kaheia ha
Building up tolerance really is key, thats why in india they can drink the same water they go to bathroom in, bathe and burry their dead in
I totally agree.
India's own government estimates that around half a million children under the age of 5 die there every year from drinking bad water, not counting adults. So, no it's not tolerance. Drink bad water and hope for the best, like everywhere else.
Is it safe to drink from this gourd? Curcubitine can make very sick!
It's old and sun-bleached; I doubt many alkaloids remain. Also, I believe the main inedible components are saponins when it comes to the wild buffalo gourds - so they could be washed away by rain and definitely would have been noticeable as suds in his water.
I scraped out most of the dry pulp. I was going to talk about the saponins in these gourds but it was just getting too deep with information. Saponins are very interesting because they are considered toxic to humans but at the same time they have healing properties, anti-cancer properties, and may help kill pathogens in the water. The water that I drank was bitter because of the saponins in the gourd but I again I didn't want to go down that rabbit hole. I'm glad that you are aware of this though. I have eaten plants high in saponins a few times. In small quantities I believe it is safe. Of course the gourd could be thoroughly washed before using to remove more saponins. That was a good observation. Thanks for the comment.
i love you
Can someone elaborate on how he found the water? He followed the path to the green area? Is it that simple?
It's not that simple always. This was actually the second wash I followed into the mountain. I didn't find water in the first one. I doubt that there will be water here in the summer though. However, I found another spring about a mile away from this one that has water all year. I know this because even cattails grow there.
Me apaixonei por você como te encontrar belo abraços

How to drink in the desert:
1 find water
2 drink it
You learn fast! :-)
You don’t find water this easily in the real desert dude 😅
Um,... dude this is a real desert. It is classified as a desert. What do you call a real desert? Pure sand dunes? Of course there is no available water in sand dunes. It would not be an intelligent decision to search for water in sand dunes. That's why in this video I go to the base of the mountain. Chances are much higher in such places.
that’s some wet desert bro
Looks like the jungle
ok then, great trick getting a water in desert Chad
