@@ChadZuberAdventures what common meat does stuff like grasshoppers and scorpions resemble most? or is it distincly different?

I did not believe it the first time, it was insane but I loved and wanted to do something like this. I thank you, CHAD

Chad, a suggestion for storing meat in addition to drying it in the sun is to cook the pieces in lard and then store everything together in pots (the melted lard together with the pieces of meat) in containers with lids (clay jars can be used like the ones you make) the lard will harden (but not too much, it will have the consistency of a thick whitish paste) and the meat preserved in this way can stay there for three years or even more, without spoiling, in addition, the The taste of the meat is incredible!!! It is important that the jars always have their lids on, otherwise the flies will land and lay their eggs there!!! This way of storing meat has been used for centuries here in the rural regions of the interior of my country, Brazil

hey, there's this traditional Georgian food called "churchkhela" which is basically an energy bar, and its made with something called sweet (wine before it ferments), flour and hazel/wall nuts, the steps are- 1.skewer nuts with a needle to hang them up on a string 2.boil the sweet and slowly add the flour till it looks thick enough 3. then coat the nuts with it and hang them up to dry. it would be better to watch it on youtube, there will definitely be a better explanation. just made them with my grandparents and got reminded. would be cool if you tried to make it with a primitive twist. also great video man, this has to be one of the series i look forward to most, not just on yt but in general, keep up the good work.

Here in pueblo colorado the prickly pears are ready, they arent as big and fleshy as those and here they have way more glocids and seeds, they are devil fruit, but worth it, every part is edible, the seeds can be used for flour, or you could malt them and make an ale or beer.

Letting the seeds malt or sprout concentrates sugars and carbs in seeds and grain you'd just need a natural yeast like from berry or fruit skins with that powdery white coating, thats yeast trying to get in to eat the fruits sugars, unless an animals, insects, or weather breaks the skin the yeast can't get in to start fermentation. Malting adds base and sweetness to ale and beer, plus any other flavors you want to add.

30 pounds of prickly pear fruit contains about 5,600 kcal, which is roughly two days of consumption at moderate levels of exertion. This is likely less than the calories burned to harvest and process the fruit. It's still a worthwhile exercise because the fruit provides nutrients difficult to find elsewhere and, as shown, it can be preserved for future use, which is not true of all food sources. It does show, though, just how difficult a hunter-gatherer existence can be in an arid climate.

@ChadZuberAdventures
