Preparing the Hut for Rain and Javelina Encounter (episode 38)

The purpose of a shelter is to provide a reasonable amount of comfort and protection from the elements and predators. During the winter fire is essential for warmth and a roof is essential to stay dry and warm inside. Wind, clouds and cool temperatures are indicators of a coming storm. In this video I get ready for a rainy day and I even have a surprise encounter with wild javelinas. This series will be ongoing so be sure to stay tuned for the next video.

My equipment:
Camera: Nikon D7500 and GoPro Hero7 Black
Sound: Zoom H6
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, but that has been very rare.
Do you stay out there permanently?
No, I usually stay out in a wilderness area for about a week and then hike out and return to a city for editing and uploading. I have family and other obligations to take care of as well.
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.lunasandals.com/?rfsn=102...
(Note: I receive an affiliate commission from any sales derived from clicking on the link above)
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 49.
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 KZbin. Sometimes I bought the music but usually it was free.

Awesome as always and I don't know about anyone else but, I'd love to see a luxurious Taller Hut with tiled roof and floor and a separate roofed stacked clay brick pantry with huge large vases with food in them and water vases and arts and crafts in the hut. Like, weaving of cloth and creating working sleds and wheel barrels and wood peg systems and making a log into a canoe and eating fish with the Palo Verde beans and mesquite pods and when they come back the Fruits of the desert cactus and so much more. It's so wonderful. I really love the potential of this series and this channel. I can't help but to run my mouth with ideas. I'm just so happy every time I get to enter and be there with Chad in this exciting world.

Truth to be told, every step we make out of society brings us a little bit more back to nature. That's not a quote from anyone, it's my personal inspiration and imagination. Nice vid, Chad.

[@blueroseyt]

Chad, another great vid ! I learned a food preservation tip that you might want to try some time. It's called Ever Stew. When you cook something in a pot, like fish or squirrel or veggies and don't eat it all you can keep it from spoiling by boiling it for 10 min. every day in cold weather, and twice a day in hot weather. You just keep adding leftovers too the pot. it will never go bad. it is a good way to extract nutrients from bones, and the flavors of several meals will infuse the mix in the pot.. Once again, really enjoy your video's. I live Vicariously through your efforts, and I'm sure many others do too. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into sharing with us.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Thanks for the tip! I actually have been doing that for years. With my family we would cook a big pot of food, leave it on the stove for days and just heat it up a few times a day to serve a bowl to eat.

I was sitting outside tonight and had a thought just for you Chad. Have you considered crocheting a hat, mitt from the cordage? I was thinking that a simple single stitch would work very well and you can make a hook out of a stick and scrap it to size with a rock. The one thing that I was thinking is that the cordage could be used later down the road. Its very easy to learn how to crochet. It might even help you with nets and other things? let me know what you think.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yeah, I've thought about learning to crochet several times. I'm actually making yarn for clothing. I need a lot of yarn and it takes a lot of time to make. I'm open to all ideas regarding crocheting.

[@kameljoe21]

@@ChadZuberAdventures crochet is very simple. You can do it by hand as well. Some nets and stuff were made this way. Once you do it a few times it does not take long to get used to it. If you stick to the most basic stitches such as the chain, slip and single you can make pretty much anything you want. The hooks are pretty easy to fashion. It does take some time to make the hook and find the right size for your cordage. Though I think this could be done with some sticks, a few stones and a broken edge stone. Mostly it would be sanding and shaping the hook end. Even if the project does not pan out it could be a handy skill for making a net, quick bag, and other things.

💥💥💥Greetings, Chad. You have a very thoughtful hut turned out, right with heated walls. With a roof, a large, spacious house🤝 And you will show the manufacture of skins. I got a boar skin in the forest, I will make it. It will also be on the channel. And now I'm busy building a real house out of wood completely primeval. He made fire by making a collecting lens out of ice with his bare hands. I also got fire by the fire plow method, in winter, I think that in your conditions it is best to get fire in this way, you just need a stick and a chip from it. No stone, no wood processing. Everything is simple and reliable☝😏 I am waiting for everyone to visit🤝 And special thanks for your informative videos👍

💥💥💥And you will make shoes completely in a primitive way, for example, from a cork tree, if it grows in you ..?

If there was a way for you to teach classes (i know you can’t, because I’ve read where you don’t want to give up your sanctuary and that is perfectly understandable and valid) and take on students, I would love to be an apprentice and learn from you. I’ve not graduated highschool, and I understand that these skills are so important as we near the end of modern life as we know it. I would be thankful to learn. I also know a bit of flintknapping that I’ve kept with me since childhood. Hell, even primitive games (an oxymoron, to be honest) like Far Cry: Primal and Ark: Survival Evolved hold special places in my heart. All in all, I feel a bit of escapism watching what you do. Thank you for documenting your endeavors.

[@ladyofthemasque]

For those who might be curious about that pot and its lid, the reason why it survives okay on the coals, and why it doesn't have the bright musical "ting!" of porcelain? It's because it's earthenware, a form of low-temperature ceramics that is actually preferred for cookware! Earthenware is much more durable against heat shock / uneven heating, whereas porcelain would shatter. (Not perfectly durable, but much more durable.) Porcelain gets subjected to very high temperatures in a second firing, which not only sinters it (makes it a solid piece that doesn't dissolve in water) but vitrifies it (makes it glass-like). Porcelain is ideal for retaining water & other liquids with zero loss, as vitrifying removes all microscopic channels, while merely vitrified bisqueware (earthenware is in this category) often still has microscopic channels through which the water can slowly seep. This is why crockery designed to cool water in a hot climate is often only half-glazed at best, allowing a fair bit of the water inside the jar to seep into the sintered clay and slowly evaporate from the surface. (This is also why those orange clay pots for plants can feel damp on the outside when you've watered the plant & soil inside, and how they get enough water on the exterior to start growing moss, algae, or whatever that stuff is on the outside.) The only kind of cooking porcelain can maaaaybe manage is microwave cooking, since that mostly just heats water molecules, which in turn heat the container--but it honestly depends on the type of pottery. Please check the bottom to see if it's marked as microwave safe! If it doesn't say, or it has metallic decrations, play it safe & use something else! Note: Corelle or Pyrex style cookingware is usually made of 3 layers of tempered glass, etc and is designed chemically and constructively to resist heat shock. It is *not* the same as vitrified porcelain, which is not made out of glass that has been chemically adjusted to resist heat shock. I have successfully made baked beans in a pyrex cooking dish over a barbecue grille filled with hot charcoal briquettes. Even so, I'd be careful about putting it into an actual fire. Even with his earthen pot, Chad uses a ceramic grille / plate to help redistribute the heat from the embers more evenly. The bright "ting!" of high-fired ceramics indicates it has been brought closer, or past, the point of vitrification (turned glass-like). If the sound is duller, but it survives just fine being immersed in water without disintegrating, then it has been sintered (fused together like a brick, not a windowpane). If I made a pot intended for cooking, and I got the heat a little too high and heard a much more musical ting-like sound...well, I wouldn't want to use that pot for cooking directly on the coals. Chad's pot sounds just about right!

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Wow! Thanks so much for this detailed explanation. I really appreciate it. It's good to have an expert comment like this because many times in the past others have commented erroneously and told me that my pottery will break, or it will leak, etc. This clay has been the best I ever used and it is very durable. No cracks yet. Thanks again!

[@PrisonPlanett]

Catch up time for me!! I have to watch the last few videos you made. I've been writing The Organic Portals Handbook. (Now ready!). Bro f off! Perfect syncro! Society speaks and all Organic Portals listen. Mountains speak and spirited humans listen. The first quote you showed! Perfect for the final edit in the OP HANDBOOK!

[@PrisonPlanett]

Man you are good at making clay

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Thanks man! I'm glad you liked the quote. I find it very applicable in today's world. The clay pottery is going well. I'm very pleased with the results.

[@dakelong6047]

You could make a good rain catcher by making a couple of thin slabs in a wide v shape and direct it into a bowl or pot. And you may want to make a door soon

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yeah, I plan to do exactly that, and also to make a door.

[@maggpie5552]

@@ChadZuberAdventures Hi again :~], i was a bit concerned with the color of the water collected in the bowl, not sure if it was just dirt or something leached out of the bark. Maybe used for cleaning or making mud for bricks...but drinking??? Be safe always,

Amazing video 👍🏻

Thank you! 👍

@@ChadZuberAdventures no problem

[@SpookiBunny]

the tiles look great, much thinner than i thought they would be. imagine if you paint them with patterns, now that would be luxury! lol i love seeing the wild life of the area and as a student of animal behaviour myself i would love to hear your insights and observations. the javelina seems to be very curious, are they an aggressive animal at all? they sure resemble a boar (minor the tusks fortunately) which aren't known for being too friendly.

[@johnsavage7507]

Javelina do have small tusks and are generally mild mannered. However, they can be dangerous if cornered or protecting young. We see them all the time here in Az.

[@SpookiBunny]

@@johnsavage7507 i can't think of any animal that isn't protective of their young tbh (except for those birds who leave their eggs on other birds' nests i guess lol those are odd)

[@johnsavage7507]

@@SpookiBunny of course. What I'm saying is they can kill.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

It was my first encounter with javelinas and it was very interesting. At first I crouched down and tried to make sounds like them. Two of them then stalked after me, slowly creeping closer and closer. When one of them was 10 meters away I stood up holding a stone in my right hand. They backed off then and I even pursued them. I think that if I had stayed in a crouched position longer they would have come right up to me.

[@molliejonte2732]

Great job on those tiles !

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Thanks!

[@TassadarNwcares]

good , nice to see you ok and i hope all good be for you

[@illegallyblonde232]

Perfect night for a video from my idol 😘 snowed in with some primal tendencies

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Are you snowed in there?

[@suzywilson]

Chad, It is so good to see you are doing well! I love your tiles! Very swanky :P You should make a plan with those wild pigs you have there. If you know of a plant that produces a salt, you already have a fire to cure and smoke it or you could dry and store the meat. The process itself is easy to do, only lengthy. The easiest way would be to dry it the same way South Africans make Biltong. That would be interesting to see. They don't seem that difficult to trap if you execute it well.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yes, I am thinking of ways to trap or hunt those javelinas. I haven't found salt here but I'll keep an eye out for it.

[@suzywilson]

@@ChadZuberAdventures That would be awesome to have a stash of meat! Rock salts might also work. If you track those javelinas you also might find where they have a slat lick. That will lead you to a rock salt. I found that salt-tolerant plants accumulate an excess of salt in certain parts of them. The only desert plant I could find where you might be is Pistacia chinensis. If you would like a Biltong recipe, I will gladly send you one 😄

[@donyadabianatv4032]

Wow very creative nice one.thanks for sharing your ideas on how to live in survival.i love watching this kind of contents & I hope I will experience too someday.Godbless & I am sending my full support.🙏

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@midhryn]

Javelinas cool you'll have soon some fresh meat . Nice work for your home. thank you for your amazing video

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yes, thank you

[@FrozenHawkHunter]

I don't have any experience with javelinas. I have gone wild hog hunting in Texas when I was a kid. They were good sized animals and not very friendly. I got chased by a female with babies when I was checking fences on horse back ones. Glad I was on a horse damn thing was fast. Glad to see your hut is coming along. Stay safe out there.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Oh yeah, I will need to make some protection for javelina encounters.
