Primitive Food Storage under a Rock - will it survive until Winter? (episode 3.5)

Thank you for another wonderful video. That's too bad about the pemmican. I'm sure the critter who got it was quite pleased. I've started a three sisters garden this year because of your videos, and I'm collecting and storing chanterelles. Can't wait for the next video!

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yeah, I think it was a badger that stole my food. One night I saw a badger in the hollow trunk of the big dead juniper tree. I believe he also built a shelter inside my hut when I was gone recently. I wish you the best with your garden. I'm waiting for the rains to start before I plant. It's just too hot and dry right now and I don't have access to enough water.

Amazing video! You really highlighted the challenge of storing food in the primitive world and protecting it from wild creatures and the elements. Using rocks as a means to protect food is a smart and innovative idea. Thank you for sharing these valuable and useful survival techniques, as they open our eyes to creativity in facing nature!

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yeah, I was actually quite upset about the pemmican. I guess I was just so busy that I overlooked the fact that I left the food accessible to wildlife. I usually put the food in my burden basket and hang it from the tree outside or hang it inside the hut at night. So far that has worked every time.

[@primitive.and.ancient]

@@ChadZuberAdventures Thank you for sharing your experience, Chad. It's always a challenge to balance all the tasks in a primitive setting, and it's understandable that sometimes things get overlooked. Your method of hanging the food from a tree or inside the hut sounds very effective. It's great to hear that it has worked well for you in the past. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for continually sharing your valuable survival techniques with us!

[@Plantgrowth]

It's truly amazing to see how much you've managed to build up from practically nothing. Kinda makes me want to visit the old episodes again where you had just started out setting-up the current hut. Have to say, I never would have thought I'd be so excited about seeing new bricks being made. Good times.

I think for the next storage pot, you could put a small burning ember in the pot(maybe covered with another clay cover with holes in it) to act as a oxygen absorber right before you seal it. It should extinguish itself once it's sealed and that should take care of in case some pests stowaway. Big fan, live your vids!

[@ladyofthemasque]

For those who don't know the benefit of polishing, or "burnishing," a mostly-dry unfired clay pot, what happens is that certain small sizes of fragments of clay, which look like little hexagonal plates, get aligned so that they lie flat along the surface when it is burnished. This aligning requires some effort when the clay is a normal mixed aggregate, like what Chad is using. But when you know how to make *terra sigillata* which is that reddish glaze-like stuff the ancient Romans used, it basically speeds up the process, and you can burnish the surface--which is almost entirely coated in those fine little plates--with just a light touch from your fingers, rather than needing a polished rock or bone, a lot of effort, and a lot of time. Terra sig (nickname) is made by suspending those tiny particles of clay in water, usually by using a bit of alkaline substance, such as lye water or ashwater. You mix up the clay-rich material, let it settle until it forms 3 layers in the liquid, then you remove the clear water at the top, and pour the cloudy middle stuff into a fresh pot. Just don't allow any of the grittier stuff from the bottom third layer to join it. Then, when the suspension is thickened enough (evaporation helps, also simmering), you can dip your dry greenware (unfired) pottery into it or apply it with a brush in a very thin coat. This is similar to dipping a pot in slip (soup-thin clay goop), but you've pre-separated out the specific sizes that work best with burnishing. (By the way, you can also burnish dry greenware, but it's much easier at the leather-hard stage because there's enough give that the particles align much more easily; at the hard-dried stage, it's more like you're grinding away the non-smooth-plate bits as much as you are realigning them.) It needs to be understood that burnishing is *not* the same thing as glazing. It does provide a smoother and less likely to leak surface. However, there will still be microscopic holes that liquids can seep through. Low-fired pottery (primitive firing, earthenware, etc, the stuff that benefits the most from burnishing), only sinters. "Sintering" means it binds together, but still has tiny holes and channels between the pieces. It does not vitrify, which means to turn glass-like and seal up all the microscopic holes. (High-five clay bodies, such as stoneware and porcelain, can vitrify after the second firing, but you need high kiln temperatures, and the pottery must first be tempered by going through an initial firing, or bisqueware firing, which is what earthenware primitive firing goes through.) Glazes don't necessarily need extremely high temperatures. They genuinely help seal pottery against moisture leakage, but you need to have access to certain things, such as powdered silica, or salt for salt-glazing (and high enough temperatures and a kiln). It's harder to do a glaze firing in a primitive firing setting. Burnishing is a good single-firing compromise, even if it's not a perfect seal. However, you can also take burnished pottery and boil things like milk in it, which will fill up the microscopic holes in the pottery with casein proteins, whcih can then be charred in a slightly hotter fire to set them permanently in place, sort of like "seasoning" a cast iron pan. Terra sig speeds up the burnishing process. Even just using slip (a really fine clay that's made into a liquidy paste) can help. And burnishing the surface can create really good moisture barriers. They aren't quite as good as a (non-crazed or crackled) glaze, nor as good as vitrifying temperatures...but the latter require very specific types of clay, rather than just common earthenware types. Regardless, what Chad is doing with his earthenware clay, rock-burnishing the clay at the leather-hard stage, will go quite a long ways toward preventing spoilage in whatever he seals into that pot. I don't know when burnishing was first invented, but it was genuinely a major innovation in early storage ceramics.

Dried fruit usually lasts a long time, and the less moisture and more sugar it has, the longer. The palm fruit might even last a year, if stored properly. I also have a question, have you ever tried to make primitive wine out of any desert fruit, like the manzanita or palm? I can't remember seeing it in any of your past videos, and having a backup source of hydration in case the river or springs nearby dry up could be handy.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

This palm fruit will last more than a year. One time a few years ago I made a tasty fermented drink with this palm fruit. It was really good. I didn't make a video of it though. There just isn't enough time to make videos of everything. It takes me at least 15 hours to make one video.... But don't worry, the river never dries up. The spring does though.

If you add some legs that stick out past the handle to the topside of your lids in the future, they could serve dual purpose as plates and bowls.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

That's an interesting idea. Have you seen that done before?

[@Chuck_Huckler]

@@ChadZuberAdventures I haven't, but as you were handling the lids, i saw how much they resembled plates already and thought that just a bit more clay could make them potentially much more useful. Just three legs would make it sit stable on uneven surfaces, so long as they're longer than the handle. You could also stack pots this way, i think, since the legs would also hold the pot above it. If you end up remaking just the lids for your pots to add this feature, you could dust your pots with a bit of ash and press the lids into the rim of the pot while they're still drying, in order to ensure a nearly perfect seal. It'll be easier to do since the pots have already been fired.

Often the sap is on my skin for a few days too. I try to avoid it by using sticks to collect it or handle it. I found that rubbing oil on it helps remove it easier.

[@XyerDark]

The porosity of the clay may be a problem, ideally you'd want something to seal it fully by coating the insides with wax or more resin to prevent moisture getting inside (or leaving if you want to store liquids).

[@Chuck_Huckler]

Well-fired clay pots are somewhat waterproof, but a glaze made from wood ash would make them entirely so. Maybe adding some percentage of wood ash or slaked lime directly into his clay would help, if doing a proper glaze isn't feasable.

[@XyerDark]

@@Chuck_Huckler I'm unfamiliar with wood ash glazes but no matter how well fired they're never waterproofed without some form of glazing. With primitive tools aside from pine pitch or beeswax he's pretty limited in what he can do, he could let some oil or milk absorb into the clay and polymerize/cook it over a fire, but even that would never truly seal it.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Actually I have sealed pottery with primitive means and it has worked very VERY well. Cooking pots get sealed with use as fats and oils and minerals in the food plug up the pores over time thus sealing the pot. I've used certain plants to successfully seal pottery as well. But also keep in mind that this place is very dry and arid. As long as the pot doesn't get wet from rain I doubt that enough moisture will enter to spoil the food. But I could be wrong. That's why this is an experiment. The only way to find out is to test. We will see in 6 months. I'm going to do similar experiments with other pots of food that will be prepared in different ways so we can compare the results.

There HAS to be a better way to process the firewood in your environment than the old smash and stack. Video on making a Celt coming soon perhaps?

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

A Celt axe would look cool but eventually it would break. This wood is not like other wood. People don't understand this as they don't understand many other aspects of this place. Think of it this way - with an axe you strike the wood with a stone. With my technique I strike the stone with the wood. It's just the opposite motion that's the only difference except that my technique has the added advantage of not having to fabricate a tool that will inevitably break.

Como siempre, genial maestro, sembrando conciencia y haciéndonos presentes de que vivimos en abundancia porque sé la humanidad abrió un camino y si así fue, no nos destruiremos porque queda humanos consientes, que seguiremos creando caminos. Gracias, Chad. 🤠Tabona

You also need to store sources of protein for keeping those muscle gains. 💪

Greetings Chad your videos are awesome... I enjoy them so much the level of your primitive skills is fantastic...

[@LucianoGonzalez-mm3yi]

😮 Excelente 👌

One can see how tribes, villages, and settlements formed. There is simply not enough time to gather, process, and work resources by yourself. Many people, contributing a 'specialty' to the whole community gets far more done in the end.

[@-whackd]

Look at mammoth graveyards. They usually have settlements or arrangements of mammoth bones around them. Hunting mammoth was definitely done by tribes rather than a man alone.

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Sure does... its one of the reasons I'd love to see Chad and a handful of other Survival KZbinrs get together to create a small village and survive as a group over a couple months of time. It would be amazing to see how they tackle different challenges and how their small settlement starts to take shape.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

It would be awesome to form a small tribe with the right people. That's difficult to do these days because cultures are all so mixed.

[@catharinabellekom2013]

Hi chad. I am sending you another hug.

[@TheTangeriner]

After you do your daily survival chores typically how many hours do you have to yourself?

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Zero. I work up to 15 hours a day doing chores and filming. If I'm not filming then I may have an hour or two to relax before going to sleep but it's really hard for me to relax because there is so much work to do all the time.
