How to Make a Primitive Water Filter from Natural Resources (episode s2.03)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 พ.ย. 2022
- Clean water is crucial for survival. Drinking wild water without filtration and heat treatment can be risky and even deadly. I have regularly consumed wild water from streams and springs and often even without any treatment. Fortunately I have not become sick from this practice. To prevent illness I recommend that clean water first be boiled. To make the water clean I made a clay vessel to hold charcoal, sand and gravel to filter out debris, organic matter, dirt and bugs as the water flows through by gravitational force. This water filter can conveniently be hung inside my hut and a pot placed underneath to capture the filtered water.
Enjoy the ASMR sounds and beautiful cinematic imagery of this video as I put my hands to work to make a water filter from the earth. Thanks for watching!

Chad's immune system is at this point on another level.
Chad's reversal: not Chad become sick because of micro-organisms, but micro-organisms become sick because of Chad
I have to admit that my immune system is much stronger than it used to be.
Yeah, contrary to popular belief, sterilizing literally everything is in fact not good for tmyou immune system nor its development. Being exposed to things is how you build antibodies and why children that tend to roll in the mud and eat random things never seem to get sick as often as children that live in a highly sterilized environment. Here and there for safety is ok, but going overboard is detrimental in the long term.
from the point of every day sick I am now at a point that inject sea water 1 liter to my vein and survive. nature, dirt, raw animal foods and milk ...
Truth!
Just wanted to say, out of all the survivalists I've watched on TH-cam, you are on a higher level than all the rest because you start with NOTHING! The others say buy this and buy that....but you teach us how to do it with what the creator gave us! Thank you!
Well thank you! I think that true survival skills start at the very basics of just naturally found materials.
Hi Chad, I'm from Poland. I am a woman and experienced and I lived in a cave in the Pyrenees in France for three months. In my opinion, it was hidden in our ancestors. I have a lot of takeaways on consumer applications and things that are emerging and ideas and solutions. Contact with ancestral spirits takes place in silence and solitude. The receiver is the best solution. Greetings from Poland ❤
Thank you Chad for doing what you're doing and showing us how to do it too! For everybody who is watching and wishes they could do something similar - you can! Sure you won't be able to fire pottery in your local park, but you can weave baskets, weave rope, learn the basics of starting a fire using fire sticks and so forth. I have personally done those things either in the park or on my balcony in the middle of the big city. This is a way to fight stress like no other.
You’re right! Everyone can practice these skills no matter where they are.
Chad, apart from the charcoal (the best filter) you can crash clay and small stones which filter different ingredients and are used as protection at disposal sites. If you repeat the filtration the water quality will be surprisingly high.
oh! thank you for the info! never knew about the clay
Yes, broken ceramics are a good filtration material too.
I’d probably have a mix of both
Chad, legend! this makes me feel humble, just like the Henry David Thoreau quote in the beginning of this episode. as a kid, i made hand-woven doilies and baskets of grass/reeds and a jug with clay.
by watching your videos is slowly start to remember my love for these natural basics and manual labor.
Nice. You should relive your childhood and let the creativity flow. Make baskets and pottery again. You know it’s in you. It’s your job to release that creativity.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Yeah!!! I feel so encouraged by your comment. today i collected pine needles to make a basket. first project!
You might consider making a few water storage amphorae, that you can fill up with purified water for the dry summer months. Might save you from having to head to the river when the spring dries up. Can fill them while the spring is full, purify them and then when a couple are empty in the summer, maybe haul them to fill them from the river with a shoulder yoke.
And create a catchment and catch rain water.
@@JH-6 he already done that with a dried leaf and a clay bowl
It takes time to make. But that has been my intention since the beginning.
Those also require wax or glaze, as clays and ceramics are porous even after kilning. I'm not sure if resin will work...
Resin should work. I’ve used it before to seal cracks in pottery.
واقعا از دیدن این ویدئو لذت بردم🙏👏🌹
very beautiful nice video
you are such a nice and interesting man, and you've completely changed my life from being a loner and depressed person to a happy and wonderful person, thank you so much for your content.
Thank you. I would love to know how that journey actually was for you!
If you are reading this, I want to tell you that everything will be fine. You are incredible, you are unique, you can face anything in your life, you have the strength within yourself to overcome any obstacle, loss or situation. You are not alone, you are loved, you have the right to feel bad and good, you have the right to feel. Be blessed by these positive vibes and live your life to the fullest. I am sending my love to the universe so that I can reach you.❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you my dear friend. Your words indeed inspire and motivate me. I really appreciate it. A new fishing video is being edited now. I hope you will enjoy it. God bless you!
Very informative, and well documented too. Right down to showing all the bugs floating in the water. You're the man!
Hahaha, thanks
I would also drink charcoal water it’s good to clean your stomach of parasites or bacteria
Chad, you are literally the survivor guy I have in this game called Ark: Survival Evolved. You're my role model :D
Hahaha! Do I look like him?
This comment got my attention because I am an avid Ark Survival Evolved player. Chad you do look very much like some of the characters people make in that game. Loved seeing the OP comment, made my day. Lol 😆
I’ve never played so I wouldn’t know but that’s cool.
you can use flower petals to make dye/paint you just mortar and pestle flower petals to make a paint that you can decorate your pottery with after it cools down once you fire it.
Really? Is it permanent?
Last year my Brita pitcher melted after my wife set it down on the front burner of our electric stove. I forgot to turn it off after I cooked eggs and she didn’t realize it was still hot. The whole thing burnt, melted, and warped and we ended up throwing it into the sink and running it under water. I eventually ground the blender into dust and essentially used it the same way you did here.
Wow! Now that’s what I call recycling
Vejo que você já tem bastante utensílios de cozinha. Parabéns!!!
I can see why some want to return to nature and leave this complicated world of technology behind, I like the simpler life and nature too. Can you make clay tablets and show us how to write on them?
That’s easy
A primitive engineering game changer, well done!
Great filter. And yes, boiling is the safest way.
Thanks for sharing.
Amazing talent you''ve got )) and the quote from Thoreau is a gem to contemplate. When troubles come those who use their own hands will have the advantage. Blessings always Chad ))
Thank you so much. Thoreau had some great quotes.
You made a really cool pour over for making coffee!
Up nice weekend from Brazil
Hello Chad I just watched one of the previous videos you uploaded about prickly pears you may not believe me but I live in a remote village in Northern Greece my house is in 700 Meters elevation and I found one single prickly pear cactus in the forest and still had fruit on, I cleaned and ate them they way you showed and there were delicious I still don't know how it survived up here😅.
I believe you! I think the climate there may be good for prickly pears.
@@ChadZuberAdventures yes the climate is dry here throughout the whole year I just couldn't believe a plant from The Americas to be found here in Northern Greece.
Prickly pears have been taken to many parts of the world.
Πού είσαι αδερφέ;
@@dannyleonidas4328 Τζουμέρκα στην αρτα στην ηπειρο αλλά έχω δει αυτό το φρούτο να ευδοκιμή και στην Θεσσαλία με μεγάλη επιτυχία και τρ το καλοκαίρι πήγα Λάρισα και βρήκα και έφαγα ήταν ότι καλύτερο!
Shows how civilization began from the gecko. Only a few shows like yours exist Fir example the man from southeast found orange clay and eventually made tools from the iron he extracted from clay.
Down here in Brazil we are used to clay filters, but they filter with a ceramic cilinder filled with activated charcoal
not only it removes chloro from the water served from the companies but it also kinda cool it
its not cool like from modern fridges but its like grabbins some from a well
That’s nice. Thanks for sharing.
Fires in that landscape make me nervous. Great basketry. just beautiful work.
I wouldn’t make a fire like this on a windy day.
Very good Chad!
Hello Sensei! Greetings from Italy!! Me and my friends are huge followers of your work, expecially my friend named Jhonny which sometimes tried to emulate your wonderful skills. Thanks for being such a nice Sensei! 👊
Another youtuber you can check out is Primitive Technology. Its on par with this greatness. Just not as frequent. Link here to his first video of many.
th-cam.com/video/nCKkHqlx9dE/w-d-xo.html
That’s awesome! I’m so glad. Stay primal!
@@ChadZuberAdventures I think you do great things. I feel humans need that time to reflect. As you move around hunting and gathering it gives you a lot of time to reflect on things in life. Really brings you to your roots. Thanks for all your hard work.
That is all so true.
Been a while since I've came back to this channel. Looks like you've been doing exceedingly well. Good to see and good to be back
Progress is happening little by little
This was really awesome. The water filter turned out great. I'd definitely boil the water before consuming it. Cheers, Chad! ✌️
Cheers!
Happy New Year Chad! Your videos make my evening very peaceful and pleasant. Many blessings to you and your family. 🔥🪵🙏🙏🙏
33:20 I believe, one should wash the sand and gravel under flowing water (river) first, then add to the filter. Can be done after adding too but coal might temporarily retain some for longer release. The best could be washing thoroughly first and to wash short - after. From time to time one can burn the filter in fire for some time to disinfect it and use it again ;)
Yes, you’re exactly right and I actually did wash the contents after initially making it but I didn’t film that part. Thanks for your comment.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Thought so from what was shown :). Wanted to mention for the readers too.
صباح الخير تشاد جيد أن أشاهد الفيديو في هذا الصباح انت رجل شجاع تعيش في البرية وتعتمد على الاشياء الموجودة وصبور
Siempre estoy esperando tus vídeos, te admiro, haces un gran trabajo. He aprendido mucho con tu canal.
Muchísimas gracias!
If you are going to be using charcoal more often for purification a mortar and pestle will make crushing the coal mush easier
I don’t grind non food items in my current mortar.
Before drinking it I think it's better to boil it first. thanks Chad good knowledge.
Have you considered cleaning out and enclosing the spring in bricks, (especially with the porous pottery that you made for watering you garden) to keep it clean, or maybe even deepen it to hold more water? Perhaps lining a deep hole like your clay pit, in the more water tight clay and firing it to make a tank or cistern next to your camp to capture water during the rainy season?
Yes, this is an excellent idea and I need to do this. A clay-fired cistern is also a great idea. I really need to do this.
Thank you Chad for your valuable time and efforts to bring us entertaining videos🙏
I’m happy that you appreciate it.
Very impressive work you do,brings me back to the old days.THANK YOU.
I'm glad you enjoyed
Do you think the tiles will be strong enough to stand on etc
I don’t know yet. I will try and find out.
Consider “paddling” your clay items. Using a small flat stick,about the size of a paint stirring stick. Lightly tapping over the outside surfaces (damp clay) you will smooth the lumpyness and compact the clay increasing its strength driving out air. An old potter from the San Il Defonso pueblo showed me this technique many years ago.
Thanks for the tip
My favorite Channel 🔝
This is the stuff I like to see!
Aqueduct and metal in coming... 😄
To help handles stay on, score the pot and the end of the handle.
I feel the chad in my vines
Idk if this something you've thought of already but have you considered making any kind of paint out of the stuff there? That prickly pear last episode had such a great color left behind and with all the pottery you've been making maybe putting a bit of color on some of them will be a good way to pass time and spruce up your hut. Maybe you could even use it to dye your cordage so it's more visible and also just because color variety is nice.
I’ve tested prickly pear as paint but it doesn’t set. It easily fades and washes out.
@@ChadZuberAdventures charcoal perhaps? I believe tempura paints use egg but I don't know how well it keeps or its other ingredients... Also various beetle carapaces have been an ingredient for many paints so there's that. Maybe mixing with tree sap would help the paint stay better idk I'm spitballing.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Вообще делайте как древние римляне они с помощью мочи закрепляли цвета
Paint for ceramics is a whole different process. I’ve experimented a little.
My cockateil companion parrot loves your work and watching your videos.
Tell your parrot hi
@@ChadZuberAdventures My 7 budgiregars say hi back. Thx Chad. They chirp actually back. My cockateil became too dependent on me so I took it back to 'parrots for purpose'. But my budgies which are my companion for about 14 months now say hello and are very independent.
I’m sure the water is good. Growing up there was a spring fed creek right by my house. I drank from it a lot, just shoo away the minnows and debris.
You drank it raw?
@@ChadZuberAdventures oh yeah
oh this is a good one. everyone needs water and everyone can use this info.
A few people can use this info. 99.9% of people get their water from tap and bottles.
@@ChadZuberAdventures my grandparents live on a mountain and before they had a well. they had to get water from the creek and filter it. we used charcoal filters that the rancher down the road helped us make. they worked well. it was a fun time.
You're the Coolist! 👍👍
If you ever get a snail problem in your garden, you can use ash, it doesn't hurt the plants and it deters snails. I don't know the exact science behind it, but I believe it's because ash has a high ph value and snail slime they produce to move around is lower in ph value.
Snails couldn’t survive this climate
Yes I can drink ! Without boiling.
Chad, I think at someone you should start experimenting with iron, I am sure with so many rocky places you can find enough minerals to smelt iron. Maybe should ask around and try out, once you start I am sure many viewers with more knowledge will be able to help you out as well.
Honestly I am very excited for you to start doing because to be able to make knife, axe and even a spade would open so many options for thing you could do like a well to have enough water to farm properly.
Anyway Love your content as always
I’m not yet ready to look for iron ore. I have other priorities first.
CONGRATULATION!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!
Thanks. God bless you.
Дякую за субтитри і відео
Love these longer videos Chad, keep it up and should make shoes and a raised bed?
I like sleeping on the ground in the winter
Ah ok @@ChadZuberAdventures that's fair enough and is it like warmer? And maybe make a juniper bark blanket?
👍🥰
Ep incrivel Chad
Very talented love pottery you are awesome 👍🏾
THE real Life TARZAN Chad zuber
Incredible, just enjoy watching you so much, your patience and skills are amazing. Answer to your question, Yes I would drink it to survive if need be. Thank you Chad. Take Care & Stay Safe!
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. The filtered water is so good.
This has to be my favorite of your videos so far.
Thanks!
In place of boiling you could add a small amount of alcohol or vinegar? Also the gladiators used to drink wood ash water, this video made me think of that! They used it as an energy drink, sometimes mixing vinegar in with it as well i assume to lower the PH of the ash water? But something I would def take advantage of during an apocalyptic scenario. There is also high amounts of Boron in the wood ash which counteracts the effects of chemical F if the waters in the area are high F
Good info. Thanks for sharing.
Another great vid and a very educational one too. Cheers man! Just one thing, its probably just the camera angle but that sequence where you were baking the clay pieces, your hair and those huge flames got me worried. Anyways that water looks clear as crystal, I'd drink that over the stuff we have here in plastic bottles any day.
Yeah it was the camera angle but that fire was really hot. The end e of my hair got singed.
Maravilloso todo lo que haces,tu cerámica,tu habilidad manual,me encantó ese filtro primitivo quedó muy bien y cumple con sacar impurezas del agua,lindas las plantas de zapallo dando frutos. Me fascina tu mundo primitivo felicitaciones. 💪💪
El mundo Primitivo es el mejor mundo en la tierra.
I would total live this lifestyle for a part of my life. Would totally humble a person
oh my gosh are there really remained such men in the world😲 amazing man 👍💐
Respect sent from Earth Clans - North New Mexico.
You know I love your videos...😍 Its so. Calm with positive vibes...
Where are you now chad?
Thank you. I’m in Mexico right now.
a series of videos that are worth much more than today's preppers preparing for the 'day after'
I’m glad you think that way.
This reminds me of an episode in Laff a Lympics where they try to fill a big hole in The Sahara Desert.
Just discovered your channel. Wonderful. I've extracted local clay from a nearby stream bank and am encouraged to make vessels now.
I wish you good results. Some clays can be very tricky to work with. I suggest you watch Andy Ward’s Ancient Pottery on TH-cam. He’s a real expert.
@@ChadZuberAdventures thank you!
Awesome video. Exactly what I needed! Cheers Chad!
Cheers!
I hope i can do this too once in a lifetime, i can remove all of my gadgets and do all primative things and make pottery all day like for a year
That would be an amazing experience
Definitely design a system to scoop/ wreak the pond , then perhaps a string tied in a circle to lay on the pond to stop debri from skimming off the top while you fill up
That’ll work
@@ChadZuberAdventures won’t have to clean out the filter as much ect.
This is the greatest Idea ever and with water becoming more valuable than ever before, haha, this would help anyone to have a better chance at survival! I had this Idea, but instead of a pottery funnel, I was thinking of using an organic temper in my clay to burn off and make the clay vessel into a filter as well! Clay itself actually helps purify water do to its anti-fungal and anti-microbial functions.
Yes, you can do that but a small clay vessel like this one would drip so slowly.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I am going to try it with sawdust temper in the clay, and I will most likely use a larger pot as well! Thanks for the great video, Sir!
Let me know how it turns out.
it's probably safer then city water :) I'd drink it after filtering it. I've drank plenty of wild water without boiling it and never gotten sick from it neither. of course one must consider the source some water i wouldn't drink if filter and boiled. the more germs you take in the more antibodies one makes that in and of it's self strengthens the immune system. loved watching the filtering vessel very cool. Do you think about making some oya pots for your garden?
Yeah I think you’re right …. I made some small olla pots for my garden but I obviously will be much larger ones.
@@ChadZuberAdventures that's awesome hope to see you possibly make some in the future, thank you for your reply :) ♥much love♥
Ps maybe you and Andy could do a special video together one day. wishful thinking lol
Actually we are planning to do a collab soon.
Youre a very smart mad Chad Zubar and I enjoy your videos. Keep it up brother!
Thanks brother
can you do more videos of you in the jungle, it feels like you enjoy it a lot more due to the more vibrant and lively nature
Yes, I want to.
What’s the worst thing that’s happened at the hut so far?
When I slammed my knee into the edge of the doorway and was limping for two days.
one thing i have seen mentioned with reference to water filtration is that you can make the charcoal "activated" by boiling it with wood ash. this generates millions or billions of microscopic cavities which greatly increases the surface area of the bits of charcoal and gives it the ability to catch microbes.

I’m glad you made a filter, I cringe a little every time I see something flow in the gourd.
Hahaha, I know what you mean.
Experiencing the lifestyle of our ancestors 😍❤️
Que lindo todo tan agradable y acogedor
Felicito la habilidad de tus manos y las creaciones en cerámica son hermosas
Gracias Olga!
I tell you what the yucca must be one of the best things to put in there with those saponins. On the run through at the start you could even put crushed up yucca saponin water through there to sanitize.. I actually would be that pedantic if I was serious about using it (yes I'm aware I ate a snail once but that was for show .. I'm a TH-camr I risk my life for the views lol.. ok ok it was risky shhh)
Yucca water doesn’t taste good at all. But you’re welcome to try it in your videos. Hahaha! Was the snail raw?
Muy importante este video para cuando uno va a la montaña a acampar gracias por compartir tu vivencia
Éxitos Amigo Chad
Pura Vida 🇨🇷🌎🌴
Gracias Grace!
very happy watch movie👍🏻✨🌺
You sure have a beautiful spot for your hut. Cool water filter!😊
Thanks and yes, it’s a great spot.
Homies gonna have to make a primitive hair tie soon
Heeeyyy👏👏👏
Superb❤️
No, I wouldn’t drink it. I would use a white sock fill with fine dry grass, then charcoal then sand then rock filter the water or just collect rain water filter that then boil it
“I use this clay to make all the pottery in my hut”
Me, an experienced subscriber who has watched every episode: oh yes, I know 😊
Thank you for always being there for each episode. I have to assume that the viewer has not seen many episodes.
@@ChadZuberAdventures yes of course! I respect that a lot and think it’s very smart for giving new viewers more info ❤️👍
"The Chad "as he is called

👍😀👍🙋🙌
Hey Chad, i absolutely love your videos and I was asking my self if you carry any type of first aid or extinguisher. Thank you so much for sharing your survival knowledge with us and have a good day!
Thank you for watching.
A real way of life 🙌 💯 ✅✅
I love the sounds
that squash has vine borers in the morning fresh leaves support themselves in the afternoon they look withered next morning fresh and up again.
Yes
