It’s incredible seeing the skills you’ve picked up along this journey! That weave is incredible and with the strength of yucca cordage, I guarantee this will outlast most modern hammocks. All those hours of work to provide endless hours of rest and comfort!

Beautifully made! Laying in a hammock is more comfortable if you lie slightly diagonally in it. If you lie straight, your knees try to bend the wrong way. To lie diagonally you can spread out the weave a bit wider with one shoulder and the opposite heel.

@ChadZuberAdventures

6 ай бұрын

The hammock is too small to sleep diagonally. Trust me, I know hammocks pretty well. I have five other hammocks that I bought many years ago in Mexico and Brazil. I've spent many nights sleeping in a hammock both in a home and in the wilderness. I would have liked to make this hammock twice as wide for better comfort but it would have taken another 250 hours! I just had to finish it so I could move on. So it's not the greatest hammock but it is far more comfortable than lying on the ground and it is super strong.

That hammock looks super cool

Your patience is one of many reason why i subscribe Chad!

@ChadZuberAdventures

6 ай бұрын

Years ago I had no patience to do this. Now I can sit for days chipping at a rock to make a mortar hole.

From one fiber artist (crochet) to another....the pulling of many feet of cordage through over and over again when making the handles had me supremely triggered. 😂😂😂 Whenever I'm in a similar situation, I'll roll my yarn into a small ball, either round or oblong, to make the wrapping much easier. That said, your hammock is a beautiful, yet functional, work of art. ❤

It's the result of soaking the fibers longer and then they get darker. Also when I roll the fibers on my leg if my leg is dirty and sweaty then it produces darker cordage.

@@ChadZuberAdventures - Ain't that the truth. I grew up in houses without indoor plumbing and wood heat (chopping wood) so I know about hauling water, using only enough water to get the job done, only using water when absolutely necessary, bathing once a week, wearing the same outfit all week, one face cloth and one hand towel for 5 people (no other towels), cooking everything from scratch, growing veg, eating wild game only - you get the picture. If you were idle, something wasn't getting done. And my grandparents on both sides were still living like this well into my adult years. I know a few things about priorities and having the time to do things not on the priority list. I also realize how long weaving a garment would take (not counting the time needed collecting and making the yucca fibers and string) with everything else you have to do so you have enough water, firewood, food, etc. not to mention the filming and pottery, bricks, collecting food for storage (we also went into the wild to collect berries, sometimes had to spend many days collecting to have enough just for the winter or rest of the year and for jams). I'm sure it would take at least a year to make a light shirt. I didn't intend to dray this out but that hammock did had me seeing the potential of garments out of yucca fibers. I wasn't suggesting you try it.

3:51 This video illustrates my idea very well. You are adapting modern ideas into primitive ones. And in doing so, you're thriving. That's what interests me most, and why I continue to watch your channel, the hybridization of the good of modern culture, with the good of the past, to make something BETTER for the future. On here you are more of a "purist" I'd say, but have you considered making a second channel where you explore other ideas as well?

I never believed that you could make bedding spray on the beaches where you've been. Everywhere you've been, you probably did it because you wanted rope. You took it from the tree you were supposed to find and then you made it into rope. It's amazing. a lot

I noticed when you joined two lengths of cord together you used a granny knot. this knot will slip and come apart. I would recommend a sheet-bend knot, it's the go to knot for net making and repair. the only thing it's not good at is hard and smooth line like mono filament in which case it will not snug up and stay tight. yucca fibre looks hard and smooth but it's a natural fibre and should be ruff enough to hold well. I like the way you used an over-hand knot at the end of each cord to keep all the fibres together I would still do that. Once again your videos are stunningly beautiful, your very fortunate to have such a place to do your thing in. I hope you own it, or it owns you, however you like to view that sort of thing.
