Making a Juniper Mattress and Collecting Wild Beans (episode 08)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2024
- Today I take a break from making bricks to collect palo verde beans. The green pods contain tasty seeds that are a good source of protein. Then I address the issue of comfort and sleep by making a primitive but soft mattress to help me rest better at night. I have found that sometimes a shelter is less important for survival than getting a good night’s sleep. This series will be ongoing so be sure to stay tuned for the next video.

My equipment:
Camera: Nikon D7500
Sound: Zoom H4N
Editing: Final Cut Pro X on MacBook Air
Location: Parts Unknown
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Who films you?
Me. I travel alone, shoot, edit, upload, everything, all alone. On a few occasions I may be accompanied by a friend.
How many cameras do you use?
Usually I use just one camera. When I have underwater scenes then I also use a GoPro camera. I get different angles by moving the camera around and repeating the action to create a more cinematic viewing experience for the audience.
Where is this place?
In order to protect the integrity of the natural landscape I prefer to be very vague about the locations I use. There are places that I used to visit that were so beautiful and untouched but the consequences of social media brought all kinds of people to visit and sadly some people do not respect nature and have badly damaged these places. Therefore I do not share locations.
Where did you get your sandals?
I first started wearing sandals on outdoor adventures in February 2014. I’m so glad that I did because wearing these Luna Sandals has really helped strengthen my feet. You can see their selection of adventure and running sandals at this link: www.lunasandal...

Do you workout?
Yes, I workout, but not in a gym. I have some weights that I use and also do a lot of bodyweight exercises. I also run and sometimes swim. I hike frequently to collect wild foods and to shoot these videos so I'm very active all the time.
Are you vegan or vegetarian?
I wish I could maintain my health on a primal diet that does not include animals but unfortunately that did not work well and I ended up with health problems as a result of those attempts. From my studies, observations of nature, and personal experience I have come to believe that the best diet for optimal human health is a primal diet (paleo).
Do you get lonely when you’re alone?
No, I don’t get lonely. I’m actually so busy shooting video, taking photos and doing so many other things like making cordage, cooking, weaving, etc. that I really don’t have time to think about my lonely condition. Sometimes when something profound happens on an adventure I can’t wait to share it with people, but other than that I do not get lonely.
How many languages do you speak?
My first language is English but I also speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese. I also speak very little Russian. I may soon begin learning more languages.
How old are you?
I was born in 1972. At the time of this video I was 48.
Where did you get the music in your videos?
This series is the first one that I am making all the music myself. I recently made a drum and maracas (rumba shaker). I am now using them to create the intro and ending music in my videos, but before in the past I have used royalty free music from several sources including TH-cam. Sometimes I bought the music but usually it was free.

Sorry this was so late, but finally it's HERE!
Disculpa por tardar, pero por fin está AQUÍ!
Esta bien mi guys mucho el videos
No problem
Yeah I was waiting every day hehehe
A nest is a good idea. Large primates nest in the wild. It’s a settled idea and I bet it’s what ended our nomadic phase
y... dormiste bien esa noche?
I like how beautiful these camera shots are. It really captures the natural beauty that is surrounding our friendly Tarzan over there and I love it!
Tarzan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's so beautiful here! I really love it.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Where and how do you store your equipment for filming. Also how do you charge it? Another question is how do you get the camera shots?
I bring lots of extra batteries. I keep everything in a shock proof, water proof case. I use a tripod to set up the shots.
@@ChadZuberAdventures how do you upload the videos without WiFi? From what I’ve understood about TH-cam you need a Internet connection to upload a video. How do you do your primitive Wizard magic And upload these videos in such a remote places. Do you offload them somewhere else and someone else upload them?
Me: sitting here in my comfortable chair, eating chocolate.
Starving Chad: sitting on the ground eating wild beans.
Me too buddy...me too.
Thanks for your condolences!
@@ChadZuberAdventures We strive to do our best in order to do justice for the hardship you go through for our viewing pleasure 👌😉. By the way I purchase my first pair of Luna sandals from your link. They are on the way from WA. Can hardly wait to put them on for a bit of primal feel when I walk. I will have a sense of roughing it out by trudging the "rugged" terrain in my own garden during this lockdown.
👍👍👍👍😊🙏🏿
@@Imjakejones2322 😊😊😊😊🙏🏿👍
That mat looks extremely comfortable! With that, the warm fire, and the stunning views of the night sky, you should be able to sleep deeply and wake up with a lot of strength and energy! Great job, Chad! You never cease to amaze me!☺
The mat really does help a lot. I'll probably make a second one for even more comfort. And yes, I definitely slept a lot better. It really makes a difference.
😊😊😊😊😊👍🙏🏿
@@ChadZuberAdventures How cold does it get during the night?
Hello
I so enjoy watching your series! Not only is it entertaining, but also I always seem to learn a tidbit or two. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! I hope you learn a lot more.
The scenery is so beautiful, life is so peaceful
I love it here
the best part about the bark use is the smell very fresh and very soothing
When it's dry though it has very little scent
@@ChadZuberAdventures faint but noticable
I live in the same environment and your videos teaches me so much about plants I see on a daily basis!
Really? That's so cool. I'm glad you're learning and I'm able to share a similar landscape with you.
lol when you laid down on the mat and said "oh my gosh" i felt your relief
Aaah, so much better
Look beautiful content to share again friends ❤️🌱🍎
Thank you!
Nothing like coming home and watching Tarzan do asmr:D
Amazing lifestyle Chad.It's right about the fact that over the centuries the only thing that the human being has done over and over again it's complicate the life we live in imaginable ways. Who in the world sees right working 12 hours at days and having 2 weeks of vacation in 1year?!😵,Screew that I I am gonna live my life exactly like I want,period.Love and respect from Spain.💙
People spend their entire lives in offices, with 0 exercise and 0 vitamin D from the sun, eating fast food, and wonder why their health went downhill. I worked an office job once, it was horrible strictly because of how opposite to health it is.
I totally agree! I spent most of my adult life working my ass off and barely able to pay rent and other necessities. My health was declining. I worked in offices and driving a car. My life was falling apart and I really didn't care to live anymore. It is the modern form of slavery and almost everyone jumps into that boat with goals of acquiring material possessions and going on vacation once a year. It's not how we are meant to live.
Once again, this was another awesome video. Those beans remind me of edamame beans. That matt should be very comfortable. Cheers, Chad!
Yeah, the beans actually taste very good. I had heard of them but never ate them before. They seem eat to digest too... And the mat really did help a lot. I'm probably make another one to put on top for even more comfort.
This man could live on another planet
I like Chad Zuber
It's for sure very smart to prioritize good sleep.
Yes, it really is important
つい最近貴方の動画を知って見ています。
自然の景色や色々な知恵、技術が見れる貴方の動画が好きです。
ステージショーだと思います。時間に余裕のある人を見ると面白いです。
whoooo Chad , everythings all right ??!! you seems so tired. Don't mess with the sun. I really would like to see other adventures from your experiences, so please have a break and stay cool
Yeah, I get tired out here especially because of the hot sun. But the show must go on.
Hi mister, you have an amazing view of the sky. I 'll keep tuned for next video. Good day.
Oh yeah, the sky is amazing here.
these videos are always one of the little highlights of my week
th-cam.com/video/WAeBPskvP4Y/w-d-xo.html
Ah, that's so nice to hear. Thank you!
I've never watched any survival channel but it's as intense as yours. I love this. Try to stay healthy to have more good products to bring to the audience. I appreciate you and wish you good luck.
Thank you so much! I'll do my best!
Like the creativity, the way you come up with new ideas, new thoughs, CHERISH that, so extra ordinary
Thanks so much!
thank you for the service with all of your work brother this is a learning experience everyone should go through especially in their times of uncertainty
always great to see another episode! thank you sir
Thank you for always watching!
When I saw the notification my life stooped
Same bro
Haha! Thanks so much!
Ты молодец , спасибо тебе за видео
Спасибо большое!
Just got back from fishing and then i saw the notification guess my lunch will be very epic
How was your fishing trip? What did you catch?
Hello
Blind Love!
Please show the difference in environment compared to being in society.
Show the world the difference from living that life to a life of whom is actually watching this. Brilliant!
Nothing but respect!
You rock!
Like a very popular movie. I wouldn't hanks ya. lol
Thanks for posting....great video, as usual. Imagining what our distant ancestors must have gone through...so much work just to survive. They didn't have to worry about the minutiae of modern daily life.
Very good 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Good afternoon. in our strip, of course, it is easier to make dishes, but it is not always easier to get a fire. Because of the higher humidity. But, fortunately, I finished the full year's fire-making ritual. Teppr-fully-at any time of the year and weather, I can produce fire completely primeval. And also-get food, build a shelter... it remains to work on the manufacture of clothing and shoes. How to get drinking water in our alimatic conditions has already been shown repeatedly🤝
That is awesome! It seems you are really expanding your skills there.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Thank you. It's really interesting. Recently got a fire in a primitive way in the rain in the forest, it was not easy... but it worked. The premiere of a new project is coming soon. with respect.
Muito bom uma ótima lição de vida 👏👏👏
Obrigado!!
Me volví adicta a estos vídeos, enseñanzas y aprendizaje.
Gracias!!
Very good Chad! Indeed you need a better sleep and rest out there!
Absolutely!
13:13 THE STARS AND THE WHOLE UNIVERSE GOING ROUND IS SURREAL!
JUST WOW!
THANK YOU FOR THE TIME-LAPSE :)
Wow .. Its real and amazing for life
Great as always 😊
such beautiful shots in between al the scenes. We really appreciate all the effort you put in those amazing videos!
Thank you! I'm so grateful to have found this location.
Love this vid Tarzan you know how to relax in nature and a view under the stars is always amazing as well
Te faltó acompañar los frijoles verdes con nopales asados,ví una planta junto a tu refugio,ese colchón de corteza quedó muy bueno,muy lindas las tomas junto al fuego 💪Me pongo audífonos para escuchar todos los sonidos de ese bello lugar,¡es muy relajante!tienen efecto ASMR.
Sí, hay nopales aquí pero no los cociné este día por falta de tiempo.
Hi Chad, it's awesome to see you progress this fast. Your videos are always a treat.
Thank you so much
Juniper bark comforter!!! It's good to see you found some use for the Palo Verde tree other than firewood;) Knowing how creative, and innovative humans are sometimes you're probably sitting there thinking of all these things you could make, and all these ways you could change the land around you to suit your needs! It's good to see your spirit, and your discipline, goals are to blend in with your surroundings and not change them! Good Man! Good human! The native people of the Americas would be proud of you!
Thanks Russell. It's true, I have lots of ideas but it takes time to carry out an the ideas.
Another great video enjoy watching
Thank you
Tus videos siempre hacen que mi día sea increíble.
Muchas gracias Manu! Te lo agradezco.
Fantastic episode!!! GREAT SERIES
Thank you
Wow! So amazing video 👍👍
I often thought about joining you. Now this fantasy starts getting more concidering
I've been doing it on and off for two years, I still have a few years until I'm an adult, I can forage and trap, build with adobe, and flint knap decently, I can say that it's generally easy, we as humans are programmed for it. After all we are just animals that have dissociated ourselves with the rest of the natural order
It's not really that hard. It takes some time to get used to the exposure. Other than that it's mostly just acquiring knowledge and skills.
@@ChadZuberAdventures But my knowledge is other things. I would have to rely on you 80% to survive. Stay at shelter make thred or baskets keeping fire going?
@@ChadZuberAdventures I am inmagining making thred, weaving baskets, walking around dressed like jane, cooking fore my Tarzan/you. I might get bored after 1 week. So i will make more bedding. Maby make a knitting needle? And knit something handy?
You looked happy and comfortable at 11:34 🙂 🙋♀️
I was!
Gratidão grande abraço meu irmão, sempre juntos.
Muito obrigado amigo! Abraço
@@ChadZuberAdventures Bom dia meu irmão outro abraço.
This man is truly living life and exploring the wonders and challenges of nature. Amazing. 👍
I love seeing you smile when you work hard to get the job done. 😄
Thank you!
Nice video!! 👍😉
Thank you
This is something unique.... Far from the civilization of today's world... a little picture of how human life in the past... thank you for sharing Chad... beautiful nature with good humans very harmonious... God Bless Us... greetings from Indonesia... Now I'm your new friend in every video 😎🔥
Thank you my friend! Yes, this is like going back in time and being resourceful with what nature provides.
Quando guardo i tuoi video, sento qualcosa di molto vicino ad una ritrovata fede.
Don't you worry about scorpions or spiders? I know they love loose bark.
If were him I won't worry as well instead I'll be glad because those are great source of protein
@@astastaria5987 oh shit
Spiders aren't harmful

Great video as always, Chad! I was expecting more brick building, this was a nice change (but to be fair, I'm also looking forward to how you're going to handle this project with your new bricks).
Side note, while this is no space to share personal stuff, I actually recently went on my first longer hike (10 hrs total) with my sustenance based solely off of foraging. I've done many a longer hikes but never without provisions. You were largely my inspiration to look up the local ecology to be comfortable with foraging to make it through. Thanks man! Looking forward to more of your content.
Thanks Matteo! I have lots of bricks to make so don't worry, there will be plenty of brick building. I just don't want to bore everyone with two months of making bricks... Congratulations on your light provisions hike and foraging journey. That's awesome! What exactly did you find to eat? How did you feel?
that sure is one flammable mat
It sure is
loving the desert enviroment
Excellent video!
Great video as always!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!
Thanks! I'll do my best!
Sleep well dear friend, happy dreams.
So cool!
Fun and educational as usual
Wow I like this episode. I can’t wait new more episodes.
Your one of the best Survival Blogger Mr.Chad
I appreciate it, thanks!
Greetings from France! I like to teach people how to heal themselves with the resources of nature like herbal medicine but your videos bring me a new vision: how did primitive men heal themselves? This is a subject that I will explore so thank you for your inspiring videos. It reconciles me with humanity because by seeing your videos I see that knowledge is not lost and that humans can be very ingenious and very beautiful in addition! 💗☺️🙏
🔥🔥🔥
Приезжайте в Россию))
Научите и других быть в гармонии с природой.
То что делаете-это очень круто в современном мире.
I love when Chad does the night sky timelapses, looking at the sky at night in that place should be amazing.
It is so amazing at night here. I really love looking at the sky.
I love this videos!
Sleep well my friend, you will need your strength for tomorrow.
Thank you! I will surely need it.
Very nice 😁👍👍👍👍

Hello Zuber! What a surprise! I hope you enjoy my videos.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Yes, I like your videos very much.
Wehen I travel around in my VW van, I feel very reduced and free. I don't need a lot and I enjoy little things.
„Less is often More“!
But when I see what you're doing ...... that's a few leagues higher. Wow, you have my respect!👍🏻
Yeaaahhh!!!

Can you make a hammock out of natural cordage? I hate sleeping on the ground.
Yes!! I intend to do exactly that but I will need at least 700 feet of cordage so it's going to take a while.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I'm excited to see that! Hammocks are great in warm weather
👍👍👍👍😊🙏🏿
@@plvmbvm513 😊🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿👍
I have been waiting impatiently and then I see this video I immediately click on the video
