Today, getting what you need is as easy as a trip to the store. From food to clothing, energy, medicine, and so much more, Andy George will discover what it takes to make everything from scratch. His mission is to understand the complex processes of manufacturing that is often taken for granted and do it all himself. Each week he’s traveling the world to bypass the modern supply chain in order to harvest raw materials straight from the source. Along the way, he’s answering the questions you never thought to ask.

So satisfying watching the people cut the leaves of the Agave.

I know right
The fact that they have such a detailed culture around not only Mezcal, but around harvesting agave is really amazing. These trips are really interesting.
Immense respect for that one shot I always thought was overpriced. Now I realise the price was justified.

And they probably don't get paid much for it either. Minimum wage there is about $4.50 a day.
I feel like you're down in Mexico like every other week for these videos. You're so underrated.

Che8t i assumed he made one trip and got everything he needed for several projects xD
Does anyone else find it so satisfying to just watch him cut the plant
Mexico is filled with A LOT of hard workers.
It's so nice to see my parent's home state in this video. I've always wondered why people would ask where you or your parents are from, and it's because there's a lot of pride in one's origin. I'm definitely proud to have parents from Jalisco!
I find the sound of the agave leaves being chopped oddly satisfying great vid keep up the good work greetings from Mexico my friend - Federico
Really helps put into perspective just how hard these jimadores work to harvest the agave needed to make mezcal/tequila.
legit the coolest channel I've found.
i reckon he did a stellar job at cutting that agave
Dude did a good job cutting that thing up.
This content literally gets no recognition for its efforts number wise.
These videos are really good! Something that I might not have been interested in you make interesting! Even better quality than most TV shows.
The guys here have the passion knowledge and enthusiasm to bring you Mexico's quality spirit enough to put a smile on anyone's face no matter what the price the agave plant itself takes its time to mature so make time to enjoy not by the shot by the glass dance sing and appreciate the effort involved until your buzzing with laughter Jalisco Mexico we honour you
I feel like all three of these vids could have been one "longer vid" but I loved it regardless those guys put in so much work it's crazy
22 years on just harvesting. Mad respect.

El mejor tequila del mundo para mi gusto y el mas consumido en Puerto Rico.
Hey Andy. I love HTME, but I'm personally not a fan of the mini series, multi-part episodes on how a product is made. I much prefer when I can explore the inner workings of a product from start to finish. Perhaps you might be able to find the time to salvage/collage the processes required in making various stoneware pieces to set a table, or restock your future shed with a series of tools? I remember seeing that many of your fired clay pieces and metal tools survived the unfortunate accident. Since I tend to play educational videos for long durations, I would be partial to longer run times. I also imagine teachers using your experimental archaeology as a learning tool in their classrooms; so longer videos would be a blessing to them as well
You should have played the song tequila for the background music
Herradura !
My brother told me the minimal boozing age in Mexico is XIV. Teens in that country consume mezcal and tequila. Americans wait 7 years later to consume such drinks.
I always go to Guadalajara for the airport
How come this was broken up into 3 parts like this?

It was originally going to be one long video, but the Wheat Beer episode received a lower than usual number of views, so we thought we'd try breaking it up in case the 18 minute length was scaring people away.

On which month they harvest agave can anyone tell me plz
Me gusta
in my place, we the fiber of this maguey leaves to make ropes.
When I first saw the agave I thought it was a giant pineapple
My back hurts watching this
Why were the making a fire at the end?
gron.. good
what's with the fire or smoke,,,is it for the mosquitos or perhaps to heat up their food??
We love javan rum
This is really cool but I still wish it were closer to the original format where he'd plant the agave, built the distiller, harvest wood for fire, or make other things from scratch in a year long process!!
What's with the fire in the fields?

Would definitely make the process of incorporating the dead leaves back into the soil quicker. The sheer amount of leaves might not decay that fast without burning some
Mezcla oaxaca for life
I don't know why I find a gavacho doing this kind of work entertaining lol
Looked easy to me
I drove by tequila to go to Guadalajara and I honestly thought they really really liked tequila 😅
My uncle grows agave he just sold it for millions of pesos it takes him 2 year to grow them

Silvio Ximenes cultivated, maybe. But naturally the genus is endemic to the Americas. The centre of diversity by far is Mexico, with around 75% of all species.
at the end of the video why did they make fires? to het rid of the leaves?

Thumbs up. Tho so far 1 n 2 felt a little choppy n short, I dunno.
so are you supposed to put the emphasis on the Z and not the C?
I wonder how long he actually harvested the agave for, a couple minutes, an hour, all day?
My family is from tequila jalisco

Wonder if the Spanish surname of Jimenez is related to jimador in any way.
@christophernava2324
6 жыл бұрын
masterimbecile for the spain originated surnames the "ez" at the end means that it's a surname belonging to some guy (or place) named "x" wich then they add the "ez", so it demostrate that you're an ancestor (or come from) that person (or place), for example: Hernandez surely was the family name of a guy back in 1400's Spain who was named "Hernan', or Martinez it's from some random dude named Martin back in 1500's. "Ez" demostrate a belonging to someone or some place (most of the time).To give you an awnser (while not being entirely sure about it). "Jimenez", should come from someone or some place who was called "Jime" or some close variation of that, wich you could be actually right thinking it could came from "jimador".
@milobem4458

These words are not related. Jimen-ez is a Spanish name that basically means "son of Jimeno" (like you said "-ez", means "son of"), where Jimeno was probably form of Simon (Hebrew) or Semen (Basque). Jima-dor comes from Nahuatl (Aztec language) word "jima" meaning "harvesting agave" with Spanish ending "-dor" meaning "doer".

You must pay the premium to harvest there agave.
Just a small feedback. Sometimes some sections of your videos are too quiet. e.g. 3:34 . Would be great to have some background music added. :)
