Every time you harvest prickly pear fruit my mouth waters. Looks like a nice crop this year. big plump and juicy. thank you for sharing your chores with us. always a lot to do when you go it alone. however it's nice and peaceful and a great time to reflect without interruption. ♥much love♥ take care till we see you again.
Chad, a suggestion for storing meat in addition to drying it in the sun is to cook the pieces in lard and then store everything together in pots (the melted lard together with the pieces of meat) in containers with lids (clay jars can be used like the ones you make) the lard will harden (but not too much, it will have the consistency of a thick whitish paste) and the meat preserved in this way can stay there for three years or even more, without spoiling, in addition, the The taste of the meat is incredible!!! It is important that the jars always have their lids on, otherwise the flies will land and lay their eggs there!!! This way of storing meat has been used for centuries here in the rural regions of the interior of my country, Brazil
@@PreserveSakartvelo i mean i suppose a lot of work for not a whole lot based on the fact that he is sun drying his pears without the use of lard perfectly fine.
Here in pueblo colorado the prickly pears are ready, they arent as big and fleshy as those and here they have way more glocids and seeds, they are devil fruit, but worth it, every part is edible, the seeds can be used for flour, or you could malt them and make an ale or beer.
Letting the seeds malt or sprout concentrates sugars and carbs in seeds and grain you'd just need a natural yeast like from berry or fruit skins with that powdery white coating, thats yeast trying to get in to eat the fruits sugars, unless an animals, insects, or weather breaks the skin the yeast can't get in to start fermentation. Malting adds base and sweetness to ale and beer, plus any other flavors you want to add.
As always i enjoy your style of storytelling with smatterings of tasty information. Your videos always have a calming affect on me and leave me with a smile on my face, at the simplicity of your handmade stories.
Great video as always Chad! Looking forward to when the new floor tiles are finished and can be installed in the hut to reduce the dust. Also, it is a great shame that the youtube algorithm isn't working properly. A lot of people misses out on the primitive adventures of yours. Just continue to do these videos. You're the only one who truly live the lifestyle like our ancestors did in the stone age!
A while ago you had a video collecting salt, and I thought it'd be interesting to see you try to make some cactus pickle as an experiment. Great video as always!
@@ChadZuberAdventures uh, comapcted clay floor then? as much sand as clay, and shredded dry grass so it doesnt crack. laid 2 fingers thick, compacted with flat heavy implement.
When you started to make the frame, it came to my mind that you could make for yourself a kind of deck chair with the same weave as ehat you used for the hammock.
Wow! The place is so lush and green this year opposed to last year. I enjoyed your other adventures, but I wish you were here more this year so that i could see the transformation. It so different from last year.
This was awesome. I've tried prickly pear fruit before, and it was great. It is very expensive though. I bought it in a grocery store. Cheers, Chad! ✌️
Thanks Chad epic as always, its very interesting to see traditional foods being processed especially desert foods which we absolutely don't have in southern New Zealand 😂 great video
They have hobbit foods in the north where the shire is, orcish food in the south around mount doom, and rohan was set in the east on the south island...
Just laying on the couch to watch the video, feeling myself in peace, then there was this AAAAAACHOOOOO ! ... laughing to death now xD Thanks for everything Chad ! :)
I recently made prickly pear jam, I forgot about it and it boiled like a fountain, it flooded the whole kitchen))) I had to wash everything from the red juice for half a day and disassemble the pressure cooker and rinse even the microcircuits. but what was left of the jam was delicious!)))
I didn't expect you discarded the fruit skins, I thought they could be fermented into something. Being a bit lazy, rather than doing so much pounding I would find a nearby boulder and roll it back and forth to crush the seeds. Love the hammock!
I have made a fermented drink with the skins before. My garden also needs compost for next year. There isn’t time for everything…. There are no round boulders in this area. The rock is very unique. But that idea of rolling a boulder over the dry fruit is a good one. 👍
Dear Chad, Hello and nice to see you doing well. I love your videography. I appreciate the time and patience it takes to get these great views. Your tools for primitive living are amazing! The wild fruits look so yummy. But ya gotta watch out for them thar seeds! 😅 Lots of love from Grandma Linda in Martinsburg WV. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
@14:40 I wondered what a roasted scorpion would taste like...just than appear a text overlay reading as "it tastes like a roasted grasshopper". I've never tried a grasshopper 😅
Hello again my friend.Not sure if you remember me but we shared fishing stories. I hope to one day get to share in some of the things you have shown us. If u have anymore fishing stories i am all ears. Take care my friend PS - I'm sure you have but do you keep Sea Salt available for seasoning or other uses. PSS - Prickly pear fruit snacks always look delicious.
Of course I have more fishing stories but mostly of the one that got away. Like when I was fishing shallow water just past the breakers off the surf in my kayak. I was bouncing a scampi on the bottom when something pretty big took it and got hooked. I was using a medium action freshwater bass rod and reel with 10 lb. monofilament line. I could not get the fish up. I struggled for half an hour. It would come up a little then go right back down to the bottom. It didn’t run but rather stayed at the bottom right below my kayak. I was drifting closer to the breakers and realized I needed to get this fish on the boat or break the line so I tightened down my drag and pulled harder on the fish. Then guess what happened. The big hook tore out of his mouth and it was over. I never saw the fish but I assume it was a big halibut.
@@ChadZuberAdventures As I was reading your story I thought to myself....I bet he hooked a Halibut.And you thought the same so knowing how fish act when hooked and how you described it I would say you most likely were correct in thinking it was a Halibut. Since I've been fishing for 53 years and worked on charter boats for decades you get to know the feel of the bite and what kind of fish you have.I used to amaze charters all the time by telling them what they were pulling up fishing in deep water long before you could see the fish. Speaking of Halibut their smaller cousin is our Flounder here on the east coast.Ive caught thousands over the years but my best one I ever caught was this one. I was 12 years old and fishing on my grandparents dock that was on an intracoastal waterway.I wasn't having any luck so I ran up to the garage and grabbed my deep sea fishing pole. The pole was 6ft heavy with a 4/0 penn reel with 80 pound mono. I put an 8 ounce weight to the line...a swivel and about 2 feet of 80 pound mono leader and then tied on the largest...longest J style hook I could find. My hopes were to make casts and drag the bottom hopefully snagging into a clump of oysters.The dock sat in between two old oyster bars that were farmed decades prior.Now if I hooked any oysters I was going to bring them up and check them for oyster crabs so I could use those for bait to catch Sheepshead.Sheepshead is excellent eating on our coast. So once all rigged I casted out.Nothing.Second time nothing.Third time I was reeling it in I had noticed that the line kept moving in the opposite direction of the dock.Thinking this was strange I set the hook and BOOM !!!!! A huge Flounder surfaced and took off straight for the bottom.(I guess I dragged the hook past him...he inhaled it and was just swimming along with it until I set the hook.Now with my adrenaline pumping I started screaming and then I took off running up the dock to the yard with pole in hand.Luckily the line was heavy because I didn't realize what I was doing.My grandfather came running and he ran to the dock...(i'm standing now in the back yard about 30 feet away) he looked down and told me dont move.He ran to the garage..grabbed his spear for gigging fish....and ran over and gigged it.I had dragged it up in to the grass next to the dock.Well after I reeled in the line and met my grandfather at the dock who was smiling I saw I had caught a Flounder that would later weigh out at 13 pounds !!!! My largest flounder to date and I did it with no bait.Folks reading this...note...most Flounder range in size from 3 to 6 pounds.We call the huge ones Doormats ! So that is my fishing story...sorry..I got mine ....lol...... Hope I didn't take up too much of your time my friend.
@@duanekennard3298 That's a HUGE flounder! I've done very little fishing on the east coast but I've never heard of a flounder so big. And at 12 years old. 80 lb. monofilament. Wow! No chance of that one getting away. The sheepshead here are good to eat too. Actually I like every kind of fish though. The nickname "doormat" is a good one. Do they sell doormats shaped like flounder out there? My dad once caught a 30 lb. halibut here. The Alaskan ones are the really big ones though.
Hi Brother in my Country we have those fruits we call them Figs, however the horns are more nasty than , what I saw you do it. I always get those nasty thorns on my skin, so annoying but delicious.
Hola Chad,, sabroso estornudo,, en cuanto al polvo si es muy dificil combatirlo,, ¿Se podrá hacer alguna mezcla con baba de nopal y probar al menos en paredes? O en los mismos azulejos que has hecho?
I think if you ever make anything with clay again or get into working with metal, you should definitely make a colander (the bowl that has holes in it for draining pasta), so if you ever decide to make your own noodles you have something to work on.
hey, there's this traditional Georgian food called "churchkhela" which is basically an energy bar, and its made with something called sweet (wine before it ferments), flour and hazel/wall nuts, the steps are- 1.skewer nuts with a needle to hang them up on a string 2.boil the sweet and slowly add the flour till it looks thick enough 3. then coat the nuts with it and hang them up to dry. it would be better to watch it on youtube, there will definitely be a better explanation. just made them with my grandparents and got reminded. would be cool if you tried to make it with a primitive twist. also great video man, this has to be one of the series i look forward to most, not just on yt but in general, keep up the good work.
Wow that looks labor intensive indeed. Make me wonder if it would be possible to put together a rotary grinding wheel; I imagine it should also be able to pulp these dried pears?
"Now when you pick a paw-paw or a prickly pear And you prick a raw paw, well, next time beware Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw When you pick a pear try to use the claw But you don't need to use the claw When you pick a pear of the big paw-paw Have I given you a clue?

I’ve been thinking about those pears whenever I see them on my neighbors front yard. There’s also another on the side of the neighborhood’s sidewalk, but never done the research nor grabbed any. Glad to see this random post! Maybe I’ll get to try them soon. (:
Hello Chad, it's always a highlight when you upload a video. I think you should think about improving your composter. You could build one made of clay with holes on the sides. The bacteria need air and water to work better. Like its now the compost process is likely to be slow. And also the sun might drying it to much. So building it more in the shadow may be good.
Nice video. One thing I was curious about. Have you considered making a wheel out of clay and using it as a grounder? I believe there are many old tools where a stone or clay wheel is moved back and forth over grains, nuts, or herbs to ground them into powder. It might be that the pounding is the proper way to do it but a wheel to ground up the dry foods might be less tedious and straining.
Its kinda reassuring in a weird way that these amazing fruit grow during my birthday month in your area. Stay safe out there, the heat wave has been bad lately. Hopefully it can cool down a bit for you!
Y'know, it surprises me that we haven't begun cultivating Prickly Pear fruits industrially. You would think especially in the Southwest and most Central and Southern American countries there'd be a market for it.
Ayyyyyy. I made the comment about drying them out and grinding them into like a fruit paste or flour on your community post about the impaction. Im glad to see that, in a round about way, you used my idea lol. I just knew drying and pounding/grinding would be the way to go! Awesome stuff ^_^ Glad you're doing better man!
These buckskin clothes never tear but sometimes the stitching needs to be replaced in the crotch area and I just use a yucca cordage with thorn attached. I’ll show this in an upcoming video.

Great explanation, really cleared it up (before people start getting offended, i said it as a joke)
"Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"
I’m sure that 90% of the population knows the taste of grasshoppers. 🤣 I guess I just assumed everyone lived primitively still.

@@ChadZuberAdventures something like porridge. Like Heinz fruit pouch (baby food)
I’ve been thinking about those pears whenever I see them on my neighbors front yard. There’s also another on the side of the neighborhood’s sidewalk, but never done the research nor grabbed any. Glad to see this random post! Maybe I’ll get to try them soon. (:
Hello Chad, it's always a highlight when you upload a video. I think you should think about improving your composter. You could build one made of clay with holes on the sides. The bacteria need air and water to work better. Like its now the compost process is likely to be slow. And also the sun might drying it to much. So building it more in the shadow may be good.
Yeah that’s a good idea. Time and resources are limited and there are other things I want to build first but a compost bin is a great idea. 👍
Geht ganz einfach. Nimm Äste von ca. 80cm machst du 3 Seiten hoch zu eine offen lassen |_|
Ei, Chad, muito bom ver você fazendo seus afazeres na cabana de barro. Obrigado por postar esse maravilhoso vídeo.
Muito obrigado amigo! 👍
@@ChadZuberAdventures Valeu Chand
first from philippines
i wonder how many calories one such candy has
I think about 100.
A giant molcajete could be useful for pounding many fruits at a time
Yes, a giant one would be very good to have.
you are a legend ...
Wow😯 So Amazing ❤️🤩
Looks really great man now I want to try one
How wonderful
What does a roasted grasshopper taste like?
Like a roasted scorpion! Hahahaha!
Ich frage mich, ob er mit den Früchten bzw. dem Saft, färben kann. zum Beispiel den Pfaden.
Nice video. One thing I was curious about. Have you considered making a wheel out of clay and using it as a grounder? I believe there are many old tools where a stone or clay wheel is moved back and forth over grains, nuts, or herbs to ground them into powder. It might be that the pounding is the proper way to do it but a wheel to ground up the dry foods might be less tedious and straining.
I doubt that a clay mill would be strong enough. A stone mill would take a lot of work to shape. I’ll be considering ideas.
Its kinda reassuring in a weird way that these amazing fruit grow during my birthday month in your area. Stay safe out there, the heat wave has been bad lately. Hopefully it can cool down a bit for you!
It’s not that hot up here in these mountains.
Y'know, it surprises me that we haven't begun cultivating Prickly Pear fruits industrially. You would think especially in the Southwest and most Central and Southern American countries there'd be a market for it.
There is a market for it. You can find prickly pears for sale in Mexican markets in the southwest. White people just haven’t caught on to it yet.
That makes a ton of sense@@ChadZuberAdventuresbecause otherwise we'd be seeing Prickly Pear Fruit drinks at Starbucks all over the states.
@@TheMetalAllfather But Starbucks would sell artificially flavored prickly pear beverages.
Ayyyyyy. I made the comment about drying them out and grinding them into like a fruit paste or flour on your community post about the impaction. Im glad to see that, in a round about way, you used my idea lol. I just knew drying and pounding/grinding would be the way to go! Awesome stuff ^_^
Glad you're doing better man!
Yeah thanks a lot. This fruit tastes so good when prepared this way. It’s a real treat!
Could you show us how to repair our closes in the field? If I get a rip or a tear in my clothes, can I use just about any fibbers for repairs?
These buckskin clothes never tear but sometimes the stitching needs to be replaced in the crotch area and I just use a yucca cordage with thorn attached. I’ll show this in an upcoming video.
I would find a small river and create a power hammer water wheel. That would save some of the pounding.
