First Three Primitive Years at the New Hut

I looked for a suitable location to build a new primitive hut. It's a harsh environment but offers the basic necessities for survival. A nearby stream and spring provide fresh water. Plenty of fish swim in the stream. The hills are covered with fruit bearing plants and trees. The earth provides excellent clay for making strong pottery for cooking. Follow along as I continue to develop my little village on this land.

Really shows how important having elders was in ancient times. You're super capable, but without the knowledge they impart, you'd be doomed. Even the most basic gifts of clothing, a knife, a pot, a pouch, or a firebow could drastically improve your odds of survival. Truly one of our greatest powers was to care for our young.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Absolutely true. knowledge is what I seek. Experience is the best way to gain knowledge.

[@blackcotton2288]

yea....I'll take my air conditioner any day...I respect the elders, but geez...not going backwards. It's been done!! lol

​@@ChadZuberAdventures Chad, I'm a newbie, I've probably watched 25 videos so far and I'm a huge fan. I'm gonna be 70 soon, live in Washington State and I'm very fortunate to have KZbin to see you and your wonderful work but my ex husband who gonna be 74yrs soon and doesn't have Internet, access to KZbin or Facebook etc. He only has antena reception. All he has is a DVD player. I told him all about you and would love to purchase your video's for him if you have any for sale. Please, I'm not tech savvy but would love for him to see you in action. Let me know if you have a set of your out adventures and outdoor living DVDs I can purchase for him. He's on oxygen and only gets out to his PO box. Please let me know something Chad. Love, Diana

Your videos give me peace, because sometimes I also feel like spending time with myself amidst nature, away from the reach of humans, I live in a very crowded area, there are no such forest areas with privacy. There is human presence everywhere and most of the non-human forest areas are government forest reserves where it is illegal for humans to go. I Love my Contry INDIA But due to less population, people in most non-Asian countries are able to enjoy nature better and live in privacy amidst nature For this reason, I satisfy my mind by watching videos of you and other creators who create content amidst nature❤

I notice, as I cycle through the forest, plants of 'Soapwort growing & on closer investigation find remnants of ancient dwellings such as slate , lime mortar & early brick ! Also when the Horse Chestnut drops its leaves & seeds as they collect in the rain puddles , road traffic mashes them all up into a great soapy froth ! I wonder how many other plants would yield a soap alternative ? Thank you Mr Chad for another interesting video report !

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

There are many plants that can be used as soap. I've used several species of yucca, soap root, and the seed pods of a tree in Mexico (I forget the name). But there are many, many more all around the world.

I hope this reissue reaches more people... KZbin sucks sometimes for the content creators, the algorithm and audiences can be straight up stupid sometimes. Well ill do my part to help you keep this going and watch this again. If retention is an issue, maybe either branch out to more broadend primitive survival projects or more indepth projects that take multiple episodes to finish. Also maybe step back from doing some of the "same ole same ole", like making certain foods we have seen a dozen times now so maybe trying to branch out to different foods and preperations from either the same or some other resources around. Idk personally ill watch every video you put out as the whole premise is super interesting and i find it extremely useful as a resource for knowledge for when im out in the woods. Hopefully things turn around for you my friend, best of luck! I cant wait to see what new and exciting things you get up to in the future.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yeah, there's just not a lot of different food sources here. It's just too time consuming to make videos of all this stuff. I have some ideas for different videos though and I'm going to try that.
