Wow! I haven't done a premiere in about 3 years!
And I think that's not a good idea to do them
Gotta do more...We like em!
Is it possible to use the rocks to funnel the larger fish into the trap? Basically close off the other ways for larger fish to get down stream, but leave enough small holes for the smaller fish to avoid the trap.
Mash up any kind of crawfish, small minnows, worms, grubs, anything like that. Mash it up into a paste/ chum and make something to hold that chum in your trap and you should catch more fish. But nonetheless great job!
Hi Chad, are you going to upgrade the stove so you can sleep on it instead of sleeping on the floor?

Very happy to see primal back personally. Good luck in your future efforts
Thank you!
Amazing start for a new season! Keep up the great work ^_^
Thank you!
All that's missing is a wife and kids learning and helping! Great video
We need more content like this on the internet!!!
NO WAY, CHAD! It's been so long, so excited to experience the new season, fresh as ever!
Finally!
Thank you, my friend, for your clarification, with all my heart waiting and respecting you.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Believe me, I only repeat your episodes more than ten times and imagine myself with you and serving you as my brother with the utmost love for you, you unique and rare person despite your distance, you are my brother.
Thank you! It’s good to have brothers like you! 👍

That's a really great improvement over you last trap, Chad.
Try having the trap entrance facing up stream (other successful traps, I've seen, were placed this way Also the pieces of hide are attractors, not bait, but will attract bigger fish, thinking the hide is small fish. Stinky stuff will help too. If you make another, remember most5 of the river fish are a bit small. Make the weave at about 1/2 to 3/4 what you now have. (big enough to see through, small enough to keep them in).
Primitive fishing is hugely difficult. Any success you have is a big victory. '-)
Pas con ! Merci l'ami
Thanks for your suggestion. It's interesting though that with my first trap I faced the opening upstream and everyone told me that was wrong because river fish tend to swim upstream and the scent from the attractor will go downstream. While a tighter weave will obviously catch more fish, specifically it will prevent small ones from escaping, I really don't want the small ones. Also, that would require twice as much string which would take an additional 40 hours to make plus about 8 more hours to weave.
@@ChadZuberAdventures You are right there Chad. The face up stream works better in small streams, rather than a river. I had not considered that difference. Thanks for pointing that out
@@robertweldon7909 We are all just learning here.
@@ChadZuberAdventures ... I love how neat you got your thread ... great job ... and your narration is very pleasing ...

I like your videos from 2019 until now, continue to share knowledge and knowledge so that people know what to do when they get lost
Thanks a lot Abel!
You may need to tighten the weave of the trap.
Also, try fresher, stinkier bait. Don't ask me why but fish love stinky bait. That small sunfish would have made good bait for the catfish.
Good luck!👍🏼😊🐟🐟🐟
Oh yeah, the stinkier the better! I'm okay with the current space in the weave. I don't even want the small fish anyway. The one that escaped was lucky to find a larger gap to squeeze through.
Just like the good old days 😊
Yep
С возвращением Мистер ЧаК😁👍
All your videos are calming, informative and enjoyable to watch. I've learned quite a lot simply by watching most of your videos. This video too is an eye candy to watch. Thank you Chad.
Greetings from India. . .
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching my videos. I sincerely appreciate it.
Olá Chad Zuber!
Muito obrigada por compartilhar mais um vídeo incrível.

Muito obrigado Lu! Deus te abençoe também.
The video quality is improving again. Nice to see you again, Chad!
Thanks for watching.
Chad, mong chờ video của anh. Và cuối cùng cũng được xem. Sức khỏe anh trai nhé. Tôi xem từ VietNam ☺
Cám ơn bạn tôi
Chad, thank you for your hard work. Excellent video!!
Thanks a lot Felix!
At 1:51 when you enter your hut, we can see your pottery and other things displayed on the shelf atop the fireplace. It reminds me of the display shelves found opposite the entrance (with a central fire pit between) for the houses found at Skara Brae, the single most intact Neolithic village in all of Europe. Admittedly your home is made of adobe, not split and stacked stones, and your hearth is not centrally situated. Nor is the roof made of reeds and animal hides, and you're definitely in a desert instead of the wet, windswept Orkney Islands of northern Scotland. But there is a certain similarity, a continuity of human existence. We're going to have homes, we're going to have shelves, and we're going to put things on them, ideally organizing them so that we know what we have or what is missing at a glance.
I think your hut home is going to be very lovely when you're finished with it. I'm looking forward to seeing the tiled floor, but I know there are other things you can do, too. Have you considered finding & baking limestone, or using white ashes to create a plaster to lighten and brighten the interior? (I don't know if you have any limestone in the area; where I live, the nearest limestone is found in the San Juan Islands, if I recall correctly. It'd be a lengthy trip on foot to go get any! But I do know ashes can sometimes be a substitute for making cement, so it's not that much of a stretch to consider a limewash from them, if you can get the colors light enough.)
Yeah, I already have too much pottery. I can't even have it all on the fireplace at the same time. Haha! Tiny homes is how people lived and everything had to be simple because there just isn't room for a lot of stuff. I'm learning that as I go... Limestone, I have not found yet. There are other options to making cement though. Clam shells from the coast. I haven't made lime yet though. I tried using ashes to make lime but I was unsuccessful. I need to experiment more with that.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Iirc, Primitive Technology did a video somewhat recently on that, making balls from ashes and water, then kiln-firing them to turn that into quicklime for mortar?
@@ChadZuberAdventures Yay, super easy to find! th-cam.com/video/eesj3pJF3lA/w-d-xo.html
He's working his projects in an area of Queensland (iirc) that has no limestone, just snail shells and wood ash, and no iron other than iron bacteria in the local seasonal streambed, so it's been a real struggle for him to make quicklime for mortar and smelt things. Not bad clay in his area, though!
@@ladyofthemasque I will have to keep trying
glad to see you back! looking forward to your future projects Chad, congrats on the progress with the fish trap!
Thank you!
Good to see you back brother. Much ❤️👍
Thanks!
Chad, I was really blown away by the editing and production of this video. Keep it up!
Really? I'm happy to read this. I spent over 20 hours to edit it. I was starting to go mad!
@@ChadZuberAdventures for sure, Chad! I’m really genuinely impressed with how far you’ve come, and I can’t wait to see what you do next!
@@gradensbible Thank you!
Amazing job on this new vid Tarzan I learned a lot of ways to catch fish from you and it was nice of you to help that turtle out as well :)
I'm glad you were there in the chat my friend. Thanks for being there.
@@ChadZuberAdventures sure thing happy to be there for ya it was fun to join in :)
You are a very good earth handicraft person
I love it when you narrate. I wish you would do it more often please ❤🏴
I will, thanks!
AYYY the Internet's favourite Tarzan is back! Welcome back Chad!
Thank you 💪
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES i love trap videos...and food videos
Thank you!
I love your channel!❤Please dont stop making videos!
Thank you Andy!
This trap is excellent, I would definitely fall into one. 😄
Haahahahha
Maybe a full net to cross the river. Not long and the flowing stream would provide dinner.
I'd love to make a long net like that and I eventually will but for narrower parts of the river because a net that big would require 2000 feet of cordage which is about 200 hours to make!
So happy your back posting your videos. Feels like I’ve been waiting forever. As always awesome content
Thanks Gavin!
The collective wisdom of a tribe is more powerful than just one single person. Amen brother and one day a tribe will be born. Keep going man.
I knew it would pay off
Good work Chad
Love your content Chad stay motivated and consistent brother 💯🙏🏾
Thanks a lot!
Welcome back Chad! Weeeeeeee! It worked, so happy for you. Such a beautiful trap too, killer job. Glad you didn't want to eat the turtle :-} Did you ever finish the floor, and a bed of some kind? Can't wait for the next one, thanx.
I've got a lot of work to do at the hut. Floor is still dirt with just a few tiles. No bed yet either. I need to work on that.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Wonderful....more videos...again, congrats on the fishing trap, it's a beauty :-}
Great premiere! Love hearing the experimentation that goes along with all the hard work. Those two fish have a good story to tell their friends! 🐟
Yeah, it's all about experimenting, trial and error. I love the shots of the two fish in the trap.
Glad to know that you're back again Chad
Hey, it worked! I’m so glad for you and with you! 🎉 Leave it overnight or for two days next time.
About crayfish… They might still be there, as they are active at dusk. During the day they might hide between rocks, you won’t see them.
If you wish to try catching crayfish, put half of small fish inside of your trap for bait, place the trap in the water around sunset and wait untill it’s dark, couple of hours. This could be really fun night time activity too, for some full moon night.
Happy fishing!
I have not seen any crayfish yet, nor any evidence of them. I would love to find some. I suppose a simple dip net with bait in the center could work, huh? I had used that for lobster before. When I was a kid me and my friends would spear crayfish.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I have never used those, but the trap that you have used looks pretty suitable I think. I believe it is good enough to start! If you do find crayfish you can either make or modify trap with smaller opening so that the crayfish don’t crawl out.
Hi Chad! For passive fishing you can try the pit method. It's where you dig a trench to a pit then bait the pit and have a cut off point near the entrance to prevent them from swimming away when you check the trap. Cover it for shade. I see this method used for catfish a lot. Personally, I prefer the "bring sausage with me" technique. hahaha =D
Hey, that might work here. There are a lot of bullhead catfish that often cruise the shallows. I should try that. Thanks for sharing.
hurray for episode 1 of Season 2!!!!!!

Thanks for your support Clay!
All your inmates escaped 😂 I watched this like 5 times, so many details. Burn wood to bend it. Got it.
Hahaha, they are escape artists!... No! Don't burn wood to bend it. Just heat it. I don't place it in the flames, just near them. Some woods work better than others. But this was a common practice among native tribes to shape wood for arrows, bows, etc.
Чекаю новий сезон
That new intro tune is great, good work Chad!
Thanks
この人の動画は自然界にある素材を使って工夫するから楽しい。
Love it! Although the fish is excellent by itself....stuffing it with the watercress makes it more excellent, lol. Enjoyed, keep em coming, thanx.
Mmmm, that would be good.
Protein Fish is back on the menu Congrats! now you can make fish jerky for storage and use it to make broths as well. Just need a sustainable carb and Veg. Shame potatoes probably not grow well in such a dry soil. You will have to give the handless fishing net a try if the trap keeps failing over all.
Yeah, I want to smoke some fish.
Finally you have managed to get it work after years.
Yeah! 20 years later I caught one fish!
Good to see you out and about, Chad.
Thank you!
Season 2 baaaabyyyyy!
Incredible another season 😻Good work as Always Mr Chad you are one of a kind 😼
Thank you!
It's good to see you back again👏🏻👏🏻 there is an advice for you.. fishes love to hide themselves. If you cover your trap with some leaves 🍃 and branches🤔 they will come into your trap automatically 🤔 huge respect and love from INDIA 🇮🇳
Yes, some species like to hide. I will weave some branches into the trap to create camouflage and cover. Thanks for your idea!
@@ChadZuberAdventures watching you from a long so... anything for my favorite youtuber 👌🏻❤️🔥
chad zuber just gained an Experience Fishy buissnes
I like your video
From India
Thank you my friend!
Wow brother that is amazing adventure enjoy and take care always ❤️❤️❤️😍
Make barrier walls with rock under the surface into pathways that the fish are forced to swim into. Place the trap at one end the pathway and then go to the opposite side of the water and walk with a long branch in th water to scare the fish toward the pathway. They will swim right into the trap in an attempt to get away.
Your videos have always been informative and entertaining. Thank you for being you Chad.
That is the technique I had in mind to do when I came here but the fish were not in the shallow water where the rocks are. They were only in deep water. I was disappointed because I expected to find them in shallow water like last year at this time but winter lasted longer this year so they aren't fully active yet. Maybe next time I will find them in the shallows and will be able to construct the funnel like you describe.
@@ChadZuberAdventures How deep is the deepest water? If it isn't very deep then perhaps you could use netting in deep water to accomplish what the rocks would do in the shallow water.
@@timchristensen1115 About three feet deep. Yes, netting would be excellent. But that would require about 2000 feet of string which alone would take me 200 hours to make and who knows how long to weave the net. 😂 I would be working all day every day for a month to make that!
Great to see you back again!
Good to see you here too!
@@ChadZuberAdventures~ I've been waiting, checking in regularly😀
Been baiting for too long for a new video. Glad to see you are back! My brother and I used a similar method to catch birds back in the day. Not sure what the law there is on birds, but we caught up to 26 birds in one day.
We made a rectangle trap with a similar entry on all 6 sides and placed it in the busiest tree we could find.
You could also try and make a V shape with the stones in the river to heard the fish to the trap.
Wow! I never heard of a bird trap like that. There aren't many birds here but that may be worth a try for quail.
All this time I was sure desert willow is willow!
Taxonomy is strange. Botanists are always changing their classifications of plant species. There are similarities for sure.
Excellente work ❤
Thank you!
Привет, Чад! В следующий раз, когда будешь плести сеть, делай узлы. Нити не должны скользить, иначе рыба будет их легко раздвигать и убежит!
Привет! У меня не было времени. Но я поступлю именно так, когда сделаю еще одну ловушку.
Always love it when Chad uploads
Let's gooo second season,happy to see your adventures again greetings from colombia.
Thank you Esteban! Bendiciones para ti.

I hope more people will watch it. Thank you for being here.
missed you buddy! Glad the hut is still there and you're still surviving :)
I watched bro vedio like watching a movie
Im so happy❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching bro! I appreciate it!
@@ChadZuberAdventures welcome... thanks for your reply bro ❤
Wow such a cool net I would have never thought of being able to make a net to catch fish. XD Wow nice fire skill making there the fire was made with one blow I would had reacted the same if that was me XD I was able to start a fire with a magnifying glass but its not as easy as it sound
I really like this net and it's not hard to make. Yeah, it's not the best but it does work... I used to start fires with a magnifying glass when I was a kid. I have not done it since.
Love your videos Chad
nice! it was an amazing video! the building and testing process was pure entertainment! i really like these kind of videos.
and about an another fishing technique i would like to see you try is called twin heart fish trap.
i saw similar idea but with spiral shape. building with stones is totally fine. in this video the 18:25 is a PERFECT place to try it.
Thanks for sharing that technique. I never heard of that before. Well, originally I was planning to place the trap in the shallow area that you indicated but there were no fish there. I could be too early in the season since we had an extra long winter. In the summer months the fish are more active so hopefully then I will have an opportunity to test that out. Thanks again!
ภาพสวยบรรยากาศดี
เสียดายวิดีโอสั้นทำออกมาบ่อยนะขอบคุณครับ
Sawadeekrub from America🙏, Tom Yam Arroy🥗🥗🥗 , Sabaidee
with the river rocks, build a bottle shape or "V" shape at the river and place you fish trap at its narrowest point facing the current. also, your design gives fish the opportunity to move inside freely make narrower towards the end of the design.
That technique will work when the fish are in shallower water.
The other fish got away too 😂🤣😂🤣 that was funny. Please don't eat turtles 😢😢😢😢 eat the fishes only 😊 but maybe the entrance opening somewhat bigger and weave more string and cover the trap with branches. Mimicking roots from trees underwater. Well that is my idea😁
Yeah, camouflage for the trap may help. Thank you!
I've been waiting for you to upload video it's make me sleepy to watch you doing something
Hahhaa, enjoy!
U aint no chad your a giga chad . Respects for dedication for the channel . Good vids
Thanks bro 👍
All right, you were missed.
you can try make denser net, better bait and smaller hole for the fish to enter, and idea for another project, you can play with iron. BTW good job with such amount of string, respect for you
I actually don't want a denser net because I prefer to catch larger fish. The small ones can escape.
Fish traps and nets are usually set as little as possible for six to twelve hours, then you can hope for a good catch, but the turtle can rather be useful because of its armor. They can be used to make, for example, a saw or a knife.
If I were to harm the turtle the audience on TH-cam would crucify me!
ارجوك حبيب قلبي وملهمي تشاد ان تكمل موسمك فانا منتظر بفارغ الصبر
Thanks for another season!
Thanks for watching!
Love the clip Chad. 🏆
Thanks.
Place and arrange stones to make the stream narrow and place the net trap at the end...surely the fish swims towards the trap...we can try also spooking the fishes too to speed up the process...by the way two thumbs up ...survival skills saves lives❤❤
Siii alfin volviste 🎉
You have a lot of patience! Wow!
Patience and diligence is key
Great work and video, Chad!
Thanks!
When I was a kid, my grandfather had a net shape like a D to cash shrimp or fish.
This a D with a funnel net in the centre and 1/2" net. It is use for active fishing in the root or leaves.
That could help you
Hmmm, I don't think I've seen a net like that but it makes sense. Thanks!
@@ChadZuberAdventures the flat of the D seat on your belly and with your hand shake the root towards you and the net
Sangat menarik kontennya kawan, saya sangat senang melihatnya
thats huge! the amount of work you have done is amazing! especially the thread that looks like its manufactured. I love to see you fishing, keep going! and a question: are there mussels in this area? I suppose they can fit as a bait. thank you!
Do freshwater mussels even exist? Well, I've never found mussels or clams here. They would be a great bait though.
Well done on the trap the placement and the way you faced it the shady area where you put it was perfect awesome stuff 👍👍👍 Try bigger bait i find animal guts works well it makes them come from miles around 😂 your trap making skills are primo
It needs some modifications but at least this was promising.
This time night time in India ❤
I guess putting some branches at the side of the fish trap might help. I mean, use branches to make a fake shelter for the fish, and hide your trap and bait inside the camouflage.
To camouflage the trap? That may help.
Brilliant! For some reason, the fishing net is misconceived as something like a medieval technology. But in fact it is much older - not even the Bronze Age, perhaps even older than the Neolithic. A great example of the value and versatility of basic rope!
like hook and fishing poles, a sold as humanity
I believe that the fishing net is very old.
Wow very good bro
Must hunting animal and eat 😊😊
I like this video ❤
Fish like to eat little fish and critters, so maybe make a smaller one with smaller holes specifically to catch bait-fish. If you could devise a crayfish trap, that could get more bait for fish like bullheads who prefer being on the bottom.
I have not found any crayfish here. They might exist here but I have not seen any yet. A smaller trap for catching baitfish would definitely be helpful. Hmmm, I like that idea.
Dammed another great vid. I like it more with voice💪🐟 wow never heard about this "wood-bending" everytime i learn some new. Thx chad
Really? Yeah, bending the branches with heat was used a lot especially for straightening arrow shafts and spears, but also for other applications such as what I shared and for forming rabbit sticks for hunting.

Thanks!
Great job. I’ve never survived in the southwestern region so I’m learning a lot from you before I give it a shot. My region is southeastern so it’s totally different I film mine only for my purposes not to share so it’s great to see how others do it. Great job.
Hey long time no see Chad. Im glad you finally succeeded!
But you asked for ideas, so here I am lol.
Maybe make a massive dip net with a long strong arm that you can lower and wait till the fish swim back over it and then you raise it quickly (or even slowly) and by the time they realize they should swim away, it's too late lol. You might be able to swing using that branch hanging over the water in the first spot as a makeshift pulley and switch out the arm for rope. Then dip your net, wait until they settle down and swim over it, and then yank them up.
It's not exactly passive fishing but it's maybe worth a shot? Love to see you succeeding! Keep at it! 😁💪
Yes, I thought about that idea too. The challenge will be making enough string to make a net big enough to actually work. I used over 300 feet of string to make this trap. A net would require a lot more.
@@ChadZuberAdventures nah man you don't even need to make it into cordage. Just use strips of bark tied end to end or strips of yucca leaves tied end to end to make a faux "rope' cheese it a bit lol. ^_^
@@IngeniousOutdoors I wonder if there saponins in the yucca leaves would repel the fish. Saponins are a natural fish poison.
