THE ISLAND 96-Hour Survival Challenge: Rain Catch System

Day 2 of this island survival adventure and my 2nd priority is to build a shelter. Then I'm blessed by a tropical downpour which gives me the chance to try out a primitive water catch system. What techniques would you use to capture and store rain water?

What an awesome and energizing day this was! I hope you can feel the energy in this video. Guess what! I want to host an adventure with you somewhere in the world. If you are interested in joining me for some adventure, culture and food please take a moment to fill out this survey so we can start planning: my.trovatrip.com/public/l/survey/chad-zuber

This adventure you do, inspired me. The thinking to organize one may with friends blows my mind. I will follow you from the other side of the world. Greetings from north of Switzerland. Fabio👊

[@ahmedalameddine4556]

This is such a beautiful channel which not only helps one sleep, take their mind off something stressful or even acts as an escape but it also teaches one how punishing/rewarding wildlife can be. Chad my friend you’ve outdone yourself again.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

That's perfect - punishing/rewarding. That's so true. It shows that through suffering we are rewarded. This was such an awesome experience for me. I learned so much, as I always do when I'm out there.

[@7heartsCC]

Watching this guy go crazy over water is the most entertaining thing i've watched in a while

[@howtomakestuff226]

Chad!! You got me in the edge of my seat! Bravo!

[@TimeToBeKind]

For decades I’ve been telling people that laying in water helps getting hydrated. Growing up in Mozambique, I learned a lot by hanging out with native old timers full of wisdom. What we see as survival skills, it was their daily lives, and I’m so glad that my family was poor, because the middle class and the rich wouldn’t go nowhere near their villages.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

I've looked online for information about hydration through the skin but they seem to say that it doesn't occur but I have definitely experienced it at times I was super dehydrated. Just being in the water or wearing wet clothes made a significant difference. It's not nearly as effective as drinking water but it helps and is useful in a survival situation. I really admire the wise old timers that had no modern science but knew more than the modern day experts.

[@DDeden]

@@ChadZuberAdventures Talk about "Old Timers", Benjamin Franklin wrote about the porosity of our skin and hydration via what we call today the eccrine glands. Gareth Morgan (a Welshman) did a video on them where he tested freshwater absorption from seawater immersion.

[@Fun2Roast]

It's about moisturizing your skin, so then you don't lose inside liquid in a humid and hot environment... This is how your body gets hydrated via external water. Secondly, avoid the direct sunlight as much as you can if it goes beyond 27-28°C, as it will again cost you with more body water to cool your down (for people living in the northern hemisphere and 35°c and above for the people from the southern hemisphere, where there is no ice.).

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Ah, thanks Wayne!

[@humanmenot7080]

LOL THE first and most important thing you MUST do in a survival situation is build a shelter. He drank coconuts and went for a swim instead lmmfao

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

I appreciate your opinion but the location and climate will determine the sequence of priorities. I’ve spent countless nights testing on a rock, a beach, or just on the ground in warm climates. But in a warm climate you are going to need a lot of water and cooling off in the water is extremely helpful. Try it sometime and you’ll know what I mean.

[@humanmenot7080]

@@ChadZuberAdventures Yeah but, your supposed to conserve energy because of lack of food....?

[@tigurt11]

⁠@@humanmenot7080how can you build a shelter if you are hungry? He said he hadnt eaten or drunken anything, so him getting food is very smart. He also had NO need for a shelter as it was in the middle of the day as it was not cold, little to no wind, and no bugs. Besides, food and water is more important than shelter. Oh yeah he needs content too

FINALLY ITS HERE! let me get my popcorn xd

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Get your coconuts!

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

I'm glad you like that. I want to do more food videos in the future.

[@JackSparrows176]

Okay, it's good as well. It is considered to be done for the second part. It is still good. If there is something good like this on the island like this, if you still have, then let it go. I will wait and see.

[@RegularBiscuit]

I love how he has to climb down the cliff to place the camera then climb back up to film the shot XD. love how relaxing this channel is

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yeah, it's a lot of work.

[@landenpope7701]

I have been watching this channel for many years and it never ever fails to teach me important lessons or entertainment me. Can we all agree that this is indeed one of the most fulfilling survival channels on KZbin? Thank you for everything you do. I've had it on my bucket list to meet you and work with you in person someday. It would be a true honor and experience. Until then, stay safe out there and I look forward to seeing more content. -Landen P.

Dear Chad, I am so glad you brought that knife. Until the rain, thise coconuts were your only source of water, so in a sense, that knife saved your life. Loving your continued adventures! 🙏🙏🙏💜🤗💘😀💓🙏 God is good.

Oh you are deep in winter right now. Summer here. I love the warmth. Yeah, we can always look back and find that we would do some things differently.

Awesome work on the rainwater catchment system. Pretty smart to use the stem of the palm leave. Also it is interesting that the dried bamboo doesnt hold the water well. Did it have some small holes?

No, the bamboo just isn't water sealed. Maybe it's too old and decaying, but the water seeped through.

I have more primitive videos coming too. I'm also going to do a video showing how I make pemmican. Thanks for the requests.

When i saw that huge net laying on the beach i thought: this must be used as a base for a roof. SPOILER ALERT It really was used as a roof material!

The problem in earlier fishing is wind flow is high hence lure is not going too far so next time you reel try to keep in mind this factor it may help ❤

Looks like these whole series of videos are about coconuts. They're just highly overpowered if you think about it. Coconut is a source of water, food, and fiber. It gives you energy to live, it gives you the necessary materials. Coconuts are tasty and healthy food. They're relatively easy to get. I won't even be surprised if it turns out that coconut redeems all of your sins or cures cancer, idk. Ave coconuts! 🥥 🥥 🌴 🥥 🥥

Your amazing at making these films. I just keep going back to how much work and how much harder it must be to film every minute of this. I do survival excursions but not to film. I can’t imagine how hard it must be. Great job buddy.

[@asianwanderer7243]

The bamboo was such a good find. It's one of the three tropical zone plants of life, besides a banana tree and coconut tree. The bamboo is great of it's young for water containers and finding water. They're also great for friction fire and building materials for huts. In the Philippines we use em to make Nipa huts. They are also great for cooking containers when green. Hmmm.... Since you got the smaller branches of a bamboo you could make nature's straw.. lol great for drinking out of a coconut without loss of liquid. And it's great firewood. Oh! And you can make chopsticks and other utensils out of em. Heck a young green one that's been peeled can be used as a knife for cutting meat and soft vegetables.

[@asianwanderer7243]

Great video! Keep em coming.

Welcome Nathan!

[@stormpoet76]

Your rain catching system was very fast built which gave you insight Now you can build a better system before it rains again First step is doing it right (you are) using the parts you have Bamboo (green holds water, brown (dehydrated absorbs water) brown is only good to channel water) green can hold it like a cup So surface area is key for collecting rain water you can also use green palm fronds to collect water into your gutters and channel that water into your gutters with coconut bowls at the end You are on the right track planning and prepping is key
