Primitive Yucca Rope Strength Test
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- Hesperoyucca whipplei (chaparral yucca) is a common species of yucca found in the rugged southern California hills. Yucca has been an extremely important plant for the local indigenous people for thousands of years. Yucca leaves are made of strong fibers that can be twisted and made into rope, cordage, sandals, baskets and other useful items. In this video I make ten feet (tres meters) of yucca rope and then test the strength to see if it can support my weight as I hang from a tree while holding onto just the rope.
Making this rope took longer than I anticipated. The most time-consuming task was scraping and cleaning the leaves. I spent about four hours doing that task alone. My overall production speed from harvesting the leaves to having the finished product was about one foot of rope per hour. The ten feet of rope I made took approximately ten hours to complete.

Dear Chad - just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do. I live in the UK and it's a horribly divided country at the moment. Your videos give me an oasis of kindness beauty creativity and calm (I spilled a cup of tea over my keyboard so I don't have a functioning comma any more) and I think it's important you know this.
At the moment - as I write this - I'm listening to the House of Commons shouting at each other and reaching no sensible ideas.
But I'm also lucky enough to watch Chad Zuber doing something beautiful and simple and good as a human being.
Please never stop what you're doing - you're a balm to the human soul.
He's a cure to my depression. You deserve a like.
Your welcome.
Thank you so much! The feeling is mutual. All of you watching my videos gives my life more purpose and prevents depression in the dark world man has created.
@@ChadZuberAdventures You're a cure to MY depression.
100% bringing Chad to the UK I've been asking him for years its 100% gonna happen @chadzuber
3:45
Lizard: "Oh snap, it's that guy! I better scram, before he decides to make a primitive belt!"
2:07, if i happen to see the same lizard again.
2:48 tees ducks are so familiar 🦆
That's how lacoste was made
Woah the Minecraft 4k texture pack is looking lit.
Really?
Whoaaaa this texture minecraft jokes are fucking lame
Eevee RealSenpai broke my laptop man
@@fayk5502 👌
Thats look very nice
If something were to happen to modern society, you’d be totally okay! you should make a How To guide! Also, what’s your story?? Do you have a family? A career? Do you live at the hut full time? How did you learn all these techniques? What made you start? So many questions
You can type in Chad Zuber interviews. He answers those questions.
Yeah, I did an interview about a month ago and addressed many of those questions. Just search Chad Zuber Filmmaker Interview and you'll find them.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I just wanted to mention that there is a cardboard cutout of some wrestler at Wal Mart's sporting goods section that looks just like you. I about fell over, but then realized he's holding a WWE belt. I don't remember his name, and know very little about wrestling. DISCLAIMER...I was with a friend. It wasn't my choice to go to Wal Mart...lol. From what others said, you apparently have a lot of doppelgangers..lol.
I like watching ur videos cuz the pic and sound quality, make me chill.
You mean ASMR?
@@fk3501 yes
Thank you! The sounds of nature are so relaxing.
@@ChadZuberAdventures yes, this feel I can only get in ur channel.
That’s some pretty great rope! The water and frog sounds were especially calming and the visual storytelling scene to scene was good. I liked the flow. The shorts are still busted out in this one, huh. I noticed some strategic positioning, lol. 😆👍🏼✌🏼
Yeah, the rope turned out pretty good. And the shorts are shot!
Thank you, your videos help me calm when I have high levels of anxiety and they are pretty educational too c:
Being in nature is my cure for depression and anxiety.
@@ChadZuberAdventures I'm happy that works for you. Much love to you and your work :)
When you are depressed but have yucca plants
I love the atmosphere in your videos. Keep going
The closest to primitive technology
Thank you!
Cor you got some toes without the need for sandals Hun . Your patience is awesome.
so happy to see someone thats happy for the simpler things in life
90% - "nice job Chad"
10% - "Повеситься решил"
I too was thinking "Is this guy Logan Paul's non disabled cousin?"
Ахахаххаха
No 100% is cringe ass fucking Minecraft comments
oof.
Ахахаха. Я как увидел первый кадр с деревом и веревкой, сразу так и подумал.
Wow que resistente es la soga que se obtiene de esta planta ,y de la prolijidad y paciencia tuya amigo ,felicitaciones !
Gracias!!! :-)
Alv el man habla español no mames
@@jaelmarte582 segunda lengua no mms estodo un estuche de monerias nomas porque ya no tengo hermanas si no le doy una
And like another peps do in their TH-cam, make an axe or maybe a primitive bow. That would be awesome.
Russia 🇷🇺 cool?
@@snikervip6472 wut?
Yazzzzzzzzz
that's interesting
When Minecraft just ain’t cutting it no more
I have to know, what grants you the ability to do all this? Do you have a decent source of income, a family, maybe pets? Or are you living solo in this hut? I'm genuinely curious as you seem like a really down to earth, capable dude. Keep doing your thing Chad 👍
Probably a cellphone and a solar charger.
11:43 IT SPEAKS!!
Can you make a 2nd year at the hut thing when it’s time?
Yeah, I will definitely do that.
Wow you replied! Thanks and I think your videos are cool. The “1 year at the hut” vid was cool
@@nutbuster6789 Thank you! I'm working on a new project at the hut now.
sound of water and the frog
and also the fire
i like so much the way you life chad 💙
Legends says he is still hanging on the rope.
uhh another sweet video, makes the weekend nice. Happy friday Chad,and family , and the rest of you lot🙋🍻🌷❤
Yucca plants are considered dangerous in Australia. Especially their tiny sharp points on the tip of the leaves. My Aunt accidentally pieced her eardrum when she tried to pull some dead foliage and lost her balance. She was semi conscious for about 20 minutes before a neighbour found her. At least you can make good use of the leaves Chad. Enjoyed your video. Thank you.
That's some good strong rope, and as always, a beautiful video. ❤
Yeah, it turned out quite good!
It takes a lot of patience to do it. You're the best
You are the best primitive channel in TH-cam,Chad Zuber.
What a beautiful landscape and scenery. I would love to try this primitive living myself. Evolve back into nature and the path of harmony with the world.
i love you chad zuber
você é o melhor Chad.
De verdad es resistente increíble
Lindo lugar
Hello, l m from morroco and I love this vedio and you have big muscles
This takes life hacks to a whole new level...
Tarzan make yucca rope catch wife.. drag back to hut... she braid manbun
If theh make a new Tarzan movie, he will fit the role really well.
Random Otaku Well, Tarzan isn’t even 20 and way more tanned so it wouldn’t work out that well, but he could play Tarzans father!
Ê Giả gay That vay
You gonna test your strength 💪

Im currently hooked on your videos!
Hola Chad , your videos are very goood and you put many effort in this just keep it up!!
He deserves a TV show
Your an awsome man Mr. Chad...
This is amazing channel. But why there are no adds in your channel sir ?? U deserve it sir😻
The ads don't always play.
That is some serious rope you made there! I wonder what you're going to do with this newfound tool!
He gon' become a cowboy.
Amazing strength 💪you and the rope💪💪

I'm looking for a location for another hut.

Parabéns vc e um verdadeiro tazam kkk corda muito forte.

Love seeing stuff like this had to sub! Would really love to get my son into knowing how to do this, everyone should learn it.
Don't commit suicide with that rope cause i love your vids and i hope u will never stop making my day with them! I watch your vids all the time🤗💥
Hi chad❤ so early. Biggest fan ❤ love it
I can imagine some other primitives uses for that rope... Love watching you, you handsome ❤️
yOW CHAD
CHAD ZUBER CAN I HAVE A HEART FROM YOU?
Yeahhey im so happy you saw my chat...I like your videos THO
@@wesleyzetsu9323 Thank UUUUUUU!
@@ChadZuberAdventures eEyyyy Chad Zuber I challenge you to make a primitive POOL or some kind of hunting animals and cookings.....please do it...imma wait for it! :D
That's some tough rope you have bro lol and what did those poor plants to do to you lol an gotta love that primitive life lol
Hahahah! Just loosening the fibers to peel them more easily.
@@ChadZuberAdventures ah ok that makes sense haha and you're really living the life
Oh yeah.. then the next one is you make a long one the make it a swing
The sotol you passed in the beginning of the video has large stems sticking out from the center. I saw Ray Mears use that for a hand drill fire making kit. He said the Apache/Navajo use it as staff for spears. Is this that same wood?
That's not sotol. Sotol doesn't naturally occur here.
Nice video clip. You are real guy.
💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
*Nice video Chad/ Buen vídeo Chad! :D*
jajaja que traductor usaste maje 🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣✌🏻👍🏻
Se ve tan fácil cuando lo haces. Me recuerda a qué hay marcas de ropa que utilizan residuos del mar como latas, botellas, redes de pescador para hacer telas y con ellas luego después ropa :)
I like the drums that play throughout the video!
You should try to make a primitive pool.
your one of the best survivor
Your Videos are best of the best
Hey Chad, I heard the stems (which is like a hard wood) from that harvested sisal, were used by the Appache indians as staff for flint Knapp spear points and it makes for a good hand drill. Have you tried that yet?
I think you mean the flower stalks. Yes, that is true.
Damn man there's no need to be so mad at the plant. What did it ever do to you!?
Qué ingenioso,¿ porque no muestras cómo hacer unas sandalias como dices los usos en tu descripción?
I'm a new of your fans chad. Really love what you do. Make me really feels like in nature. I will share and recommended your channel for support you up. the world must to know who chad zuber are! *Sit and waiting for next video* ❤
What a nice sound
Sólo un poco más y llegas al millón..!!
I'll just admit it. I'm INSANELY jealous...haha. The flood waters here are receding slower than anticipated, so my outdoor life will have to wait a little longer. But, it's a good thing so the rivers don't overflow their banks.
Love your videos. So peaceful. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
Stay Cool Kimmy, Stay Nature
You had some good Plantago over there. Makes some good poultice and tea.
Yes! I have been eating plantago lanceolata and major for a decade now. I usually eat it raw but have also made a tincture from it as well as a poultice to treat insect bites and I was amazed how it instantly took away the itch and the itch did not return.
So cool.
0:38
Damn that's a lot of these plants in Russia.
I remember in my childhood I was toring them, which was really hard because they are sharp as hell, and I was making a weapon, putting two wide leaves one on the other and sticking them to a stick. I was slicing leaves, plants, flowers, branches...
The goddamn thing was so sharp I was cutting myself to blood almost every time I played with it. But I didn't give a shit cause IT IS A SPEAR DAMN IT, IT IS SUPER COOL!
Still don't understand how did I survive my childhood...
Is he looking for a roommate lol I'm keen to live wild. Hahahahah
Love these. So calming
Very interesting, looking good Chad.
I admire the hell out of this man.
А меня впечатлили уточки))) Там плавают утки) живые
That's so cool!
Buen vídeo como siempre, y también un consejo como siempre, podrias hacer una boleadora, una vieja arma usada para la cacería y la guerra, no es tan primitiva pero si efectiva, un saludó y nunca pierdas la esperanza para cumplir tu sueño
Hey Chad, why did you have slap the Yucca plant against the ground before scraping it to make it string-like with the smaller rock? I remember in the video where you mended your shorts, you were scraping the Yucca with the small rock and cut your finger. Does slapping it against the ground beforehand make it less likely for you to get cut again? Also, great job on the rope! I wasn't expecting it to be so strong, I could see how glad you were when it was able to hold you up. Do you think you'll make more rope for different uses in the future?
If this guys make an H24 live stream i would paid to see this
What is H24?
@@ChadZuberAdventures imagine doing a live non stop
@@ChadZuberAdventures e.g. with a drone following you all you day or something
But who would do it
@@anunnakiblood1615 there is Alway a problem
dude u have to make explanations about the “piep” on that video i cant trust u no more so please doit so i can enjoy watching u.
Much love ❤️
I didn't understand - explanations about the "piep"??? What is "piep"???
That's the hangin' tree.
I like the life of tarzan you got over there, but you need a Jane to be happy or warm up at night.
Still looking for Jane... Have you seen her?
Nicely done Chad.!
Hi chad, I read about using yuca as soap... That foam floating over the water will do the trick for cleansing?
impressive rope chad
Я один подумал..что он повеситься собрался...от такой жизни?))))
Olá amigo você é incrível adorei seu canal muito bom mesmo adorei
I always wondered what happened to mowgli
Now we know!
Try soaking the leaves for 24 hours before processing it makes the process a lot easier.
Amazing!
i feel i love your video
Lol! Thumbnail guns FTW
start a trip man and slowly it will become a civilization. that's how everything started and it's so amazing. i always dreamed of doing stuff like this hope that i do what you're doing as well one day
keep it up with you the best
Thank you so much! I absolutely love doing all this!
Nice place thank you .
Wow the primitive hut must have some pretty great WiFi
I love your videos they are great. I hope to do this one day and for me it is very entertaining. Keep it up!
Is it easy walking in that terrain? I'd need metal shoes to survive that stuff.
Very nice!!
I would love to do this but Australian spiders and snakes won’t let me
4:15 when you were about to kiss a girl but then you woke up
10:00
Who else was thinking what I was thinking 😂

Cool!! I like it
