10 Extreme Primitive Survival Foods

[@MithalanMithrarin]

I am writing an isekai story where the main character is transported to a desert of a magical world as an orc, so seeing all these videos of yours (among other youtubers like Andy Ward and Bob Hansler) *REALLY* helps me out for making the world building all the more real!

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

That's awesome! I'm glad these videos help you create your story.

[@wojtech3]

Have you ever thought of writing a book? You're a really wise and experienced man that could teach us a lot, not just in form of videos

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yes, I have. I need a lot of time for that. Plus I'd like to gain more expertise first.

[@Timmyjg2004]

Thank you Mr zuber for sharing your knowledge to your viewers! I'm glad that your sharing lesser known survival foods or ones that not many people have tried. ❤

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Thanks. I have a lot of experience with these foods but there are so many more out there.

Thank you Chad for sharing your knowledge. Identifying leafy greens or edible berries is usually where I get overwhelmed. I've yet to try any insects. Yes, in certain parts of the world people eat them regularly, but then there's others that will tell you it's unhealthy to eat bugs. They say the chitin isn't easily digestible, but I'd be down to try them cooked. Maybe cooking will break down the chitin enough to where it can be more easily digested! I've also read somewhere that a handful of earthworms is about as much protein as a Cheeseburger.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Most plants aren't fully digestible either, especially in raw form. The chitin isn't digestible and thus it passes through the digestive system as insoluble fiber. No big deal. This is happening with most things that you eat. People often complicate nutrition when they dive deep into it. The problem with science is that it creates a certain kind of ignorance. I don't get into the science but rather exercise faith in the foods that God put on this earth for us to eat and I go more by the history of indigenous tribes that have used these foods for thousands of years.

[@ARPITab111]

Amazing you are sharing your past years experience and research to us It may be a hint of new video that is coming sooooo soon

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

I just wanted to share my real life experience with these foods.

Wow, thanks this was great Chad. Thanks so much for the effort to produce this video, and I was surprised by the bullkelp salt, I didn't know that one. Thanks again 😄👍

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yeah, I was surprised the first time I tried sun drying bullwhip kelp. The same happens with macrocystis or giant kelp leaves but to a less degree.

One more emergency food to add would be inner bark of a pine tree. A source of carbs, vitamin C and some minerals. And was also used as a famine food back in the day.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yes, I’ve heard of that one but haven’t actually eaten it.

[@Daniel_Plastiak_Crazy_Adventur]

Thanks for the video. It is educational. Another great example of real survival. 😀🖖👍

[@lexbeats13]

Great video Chad! I've always been into wild edible plants and i know much about wild edibles in my country Serbia. I also ate prickly pears when i was hiking in Greece, delicious fruit!

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

I'd love to learn about the ancient wild foods in Europe. I've never been there. It must be so different.

[@AlternativeHomesteading]

I was stuck on an advertisement in the beginning but I exited out and came back. Thank you for the interesting information.

[@RATOCOMBATENTE]

Man this video hit the bell, i think if you mix this style with your normal style, the story telling you usually do youll get an awesome video format

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

I don't know about that. It seems that when I stick with any one style for a while it seems to decline. But this kind of video, as you can obviously see, is the result of years of experience in the field. It's not something can be produced on a weekly basis.

Hi there. I've never been to Vietnam but I love the Vietnamese people. One of my best friends is from Vietnam. We used to go fishing together a lot.

[@alekseyklimov3231]

Hello! You have a good selection of notes about food in the wild, especially from personal experience. I saw a documentary about eating grasshoppers, etc. and there, in order to get rid of parasites in the stomach, they tore off the head of a grasshopper and gently pulled out the digestive system with it, and then strung it like a barbecue and cooked on a fire.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

I've never tried to remove the intestines that way. I wonder if it works on all grasshoppers.

[@Tipi_Dan]

Yum! But for coastal foraging, I say always keep butter, garlic, and lemons handy.

[@VladTro]

Hi Chad! I'm from Ukraine. I recently discovered your channel and absolutely loved it! I can't stop watching your videos! They're incredibly interesting, rare on youtube and of very high quality.

[@robertweldon7909]

Ah, now this is the kind of stuff I like best on Chad's channel. Spending a little more time, going a bit slower, and giving a bit more detail on the different subjects would be nice. Like which Juniper Berries are NOT edible. Over all, nice video, Chad. ;-)

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

This video took me 26 hours to research and edit. I just don't have the time to go super deep. But I mentioned the edible juniper berries. The others should be avoided. But furthermore, nobody should just take the information they find from one source and run with it. It's always best to compare information from different sources and the best information may come from native peoples who actually use these foods on a regular basis. Like what I shared about experts not recommending that a person get water from cactus. I've read conflicting information about that and my own experience shows that it can indeed work but not with all cacti.

Hi Chad! I am loving your channel so far. I live in Arizona and always wondered how the natives lived in such a harsh desert place. I was wondering how you keep scorpions away from you? I've been stung over a dozen times and it sucks! Do you use an herb or oil or do they just stay away from you?

another great super food is stinging nettle although they cannot be eaten raw when dried ground down and mixed with hot water they create a very tasty stinging nettle tea which was used as medicine by the ancient Celtic druids meaning that it can be used as a primitive medicine.

[@Josiah-lsari]

Actually if you cook them over open flame it deactivates the sting and it's said to be quite tasty. We have a native stinging nettle in New Zealand which is really nasty called dog nettle, or ongaonga in Maori and it's something else😅 look it up, it's nasty😅but the Maori found a lot of uses for it
