In my opinion keeping the body hydrated is the number one priority in warm climates. I can go days on little food but dehydration quickly leaves me weak and lethargic. However, it is critically important that the water be safe to drink or else you could suffer dehydration and physical weakness due to the effects of dysentery or other water-borne illness.
Wild water is just that - water found in nature. Springs, rain and coconuts are my favorite sources. When drinking from springs I look for springs where I believe the water has filtered through the earth. The longer the water has travelled through the earth the better. Rain water can be collected in leaves, coconut shells, depressions in rocks or other places that are clean. Stream and river water can be risky unless you know the source and are confident that there is no source of contamination along its course. To be sure it is best to boil stream and river water. A container is needed to hold the water and then the container can be placed on a fire or hot rocks placed in the water to cook it.
In this video I explore some techniques to acquire safe drinking water in a tropical forest.

Chad, I'm glad you have sponsors, but have you ever thought about someplace outdoorsy? Like Cabella's, perhaps, or some other outfitter type store?
The one who fell was remembered for centuries, because he never dropped his fresh water again, lesson well learned, thanks for a little bit of your wisdom in the making.
Kudos on keeping it rolling through the fall, talking it over, and showing the reality of the situation. Great video as always. That cave looked like it was really fun to explore.

Over the years I've been watching, there have been many reasons to respect and admire you, Chad. All the language you *didn't* use after that fall is right up there with every example of creativity, fortitude and exactitude you've displayed. (The profanity of my language would have burned the forest down.) Kudos to you, sir. Much, much kudos.

I was shocked that my shoulder or wrist wasn’t messed up. It all happened so fast that I didn’t even realize how I fell. I only sprained my thumb and that healed quickly.
Slippery logs/rocks + gravity = adventure. Be prepared but even better, be resilient. Fine recovery. Liked the bamboo boiler tip.

Thanks. It was a great experience.
You earn your respect with your honesty pal, thanks for showing reality. I am reminded of a Japanese quote from a book called the Hagakure, - When meeting with a sudden rain shower some men do such things as run, duck and cover under trees or the eaves of a building, the resolved man will not hasten his pace or deviate from his chosen path and upon reaching his destination will have received no more or less of a soaking. Good to see you take it with such humour, most wouldn't. But we all do such things.

Lesson: Even experts make mistakes. It started to rain, Chad got in a hurry (why?), he forgot some things, his shirt and to be careful (over a little rain). The result; he was mildly injured, lost all the work he had done, and worst of all began to get angry, which can lead to much worse things happening. Just imagine if Chad was alone and his fall was worse. I am glad Chad showed this video. He used his mistake to teach us a lesson, a key to survival, NEVER, NEVER get in a hurry, it will almost always lead to some sort of trouble, Thanks Chad for the lesson, I hope you're not badly injured. ;-)

There’s no way I could have captured all that was captured by myself with static camera shots. I’m pretty much done with considering peoples opinions.
That's a good opportunity to stress being extra careful in a survival situation. That fall could have resulted in your situation going from relatively good to life-threatening in a hurry. Getting an injury that makes it harder or impossible to gather food and water or build shelter and if there's no one there to help you, it could become a death sentence. All from a little fall. That fall looked like it hurt. Good man getting up and shaking it off. Stay safe, man. 👍👍

When you're in a tropical area you should also check for red bumps on the skin, since it could be botflies. You should try to drive out the larvae by blocking its air supply which is the hole in the skin, when you do, it will come out for air and you can pick it out. At least that's what I've learned.
@ChadZuberAdventures

Have you had botflies before? My friend David did only one time. He said it was pretty nasty. I've never had botflies deposit eggs in my skin. If it happens I will try different techniques to remove the larvae.

I hear you say under your breath, "Dick". I do urban survival (not by choice) and can curse up a storm. Thank you for your infotainment. Some tips have really helped. I'm glad you showed the fall.

Admiro todo el esfuerzo y la dedicación que pones en todos tus vídeos. Últimamente veo has incursionado en muchos diferentes ambientes. Pero por alguna razón a la serie más primitiva donde construyes la choza , las herramientas , confeccionas cerámicas, realizas cestas y enrollas muchos metros de cuerda le tengo un aprecio especial. Por cierto espero que estés bien y no te hayas hecho nada serio en la caída.

No, I didn’t know anything about this place before I came.
Chad: I found that you can use Mexican Salvia which is common in the semi arid, jungle, and coniferous forests in Mexico as a mosquitoe repellant. Also it burns in the fire, and you can keep those No Seeums at bay. If I may I'd like to add my experience with drinking water in Guerrero, Oaxaca and Yucatan. I tried to take each instance as something to learn. In the inland mountains of Guerrero I ran out of water on a long hike(I took a wrong turn from one village). I was getting dehydrated so finding water( yes, it's everywhere as you said in this video) coming out of a hillside, so I assumed it was safe. Wrong! I ended up with amoebic dysentery a few days later. Another thing I learned from the locals was to avoid slow running water, leaches seem to like it. I have more to say but, I'll leave that for other times. Your videos are great! It's educational for people who want to be out and in the wild. I hope others learn from you though, it could save them a lot of grief or their life. Keep up the great work.

Yes stagnant water is usually more risky. I think part of the problem is that most people have weak immune systems and low tolerance. I’ve only once become mildly sick from wild water and it was from a river that is totally accessible for many miles and definitely had contamination.
That looked painful man. As i have now broke into 50 i have found i no longer bounce when i fall, its more of a splat followed by whimpering or expletives lol. I hope you didnt get injured, hurt is ok, injured is a problem. Thanks for sharing, stay safe

Something I've learned: you can cut wild grape vines and drink the water from them, tastes a bit minerally, but what did you expect? Make sure it's a grape vine though, not sure if you can do that with ALL vines.
