Primitive Cooking: Clay Baked Sweet Potato (episode s2.05)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Before teflon, before stainless steel cookware, and before microwaves primitive people used much different techniques to prepare their favorite foods to eat. In this video I share my favorite method to bake sweet potatoes in the wilderness.
Enjoy the ASMR sounds and beautiful cinematic imagery of this video as I bake a delicious sweet potato. Thanks for watching!

With this method of baking, the potatoes are both cooked according to the baking method and also cooked according to the cooking method. Potatoes will be delicious in both ways combined. Chad Zuber's style has influenced me positively. I adore you. Don't make fun of me. Always support Chad. added: a lot of people in my area know Chad, I showed them a video and got to know a legendary Chad Zuber.

There is something about cooking over an open fire I will never get tired of. Making T-bones later over the fire if the wet wood catches. Possibly potatoes as well though at the rate the fire is burning it would be midnight before they are cooked. Anyways HAPPY THANKSGIVING .

Fun tip... Once thing you cook in mud like that is cooked- especially if its in clay and fully sealed you can store it for a good while and it won't go bad as there is no oxygen and no microorganisms that can rot or ferment anything. Chad I think you would appreciate the cooking of Francis Malman. He's from Argentina and focuses on all the various ways you can cook using fire.

Chad, looking at that feathers you've collected there. Have you ever though about making an bow and arrows? I mean, using stone shards as the tip, feathers as the tail, all glued in with ambar or something like sap. It could be useful for hunting rabbits, little rodents or even wild pigs, something meaty.
you know, id bet theres a way to make a somewhat reliable hourglass of sorts out of clay to track time

If you have a shallow pottery bowl or large pot shards, or cast iron Dutch oven to cover the potatoes with, it will cook faster and more evenly. At least, regular potatoes will. I assume sweet potatoes would be the same. Btw… I know you’re not using cast iron in your camp, but just for future reference, it works great!🐝❤️🤗

@@ChadZuberAdventures true, cast iron takes looking after. The pottery bowl or pieces would work just as well. Just put your potatoes covered in mud on the coals and invert a bowl over them. It makes a little oven and things cook faster. You can use the shards if you’re worried about your bowl…. Just a thought🐝❤️🤗
Sweet potatoes from the tropical Americas, alongside African bottle gourds. Even if we disregard the centuries of selective breeding required to get tubers of this size, there are a lot of benefits of modernity in this "primitive" video.

@@ChadZuberAdventures Seriously dude? I already pointed out that you are reaping the benefits of "The Columbian Exchange" and generations of selective breeding. You presumably bought the sweet potatoes in a shop, rather than growing them yourself, so they will have benefitted from fertilizers created using "The Haber-Bosch process", as well as modern organophosphate pesticides, mechanical harvesting technology, road transport and temperature controlled storage. Just because the technology is hidden, doesn't mean it's not there.
Great video, I love your content so much. The only primitive channel that feels so authentic... Makes me wanna do the same, but sadly there aren't really any places in my country where there is so much straight up wildlife, or where I can post up a camp like this... Also, if not for the fact that you've made a water filter already, I'd have thought you'd be using those two pots with holes for a water filter. They do look a bit like they might be plant pots though... Can't wait to see what you're gonna make with them in a future video, no doubt will I be surprised!

Oh and for heating your place a guy who started primitive survival stuff what he did was he took clay and made a long clay bed kinda where he connected with his fire place so I guess you could say it’s a flat chimney that stretches across the floor of your hut and what he did was allow it to heat up the clay floor chimney and he put grass on it because it heated up the floor really good.

Sorry for a super late post but I’ve been thinking of your door and I thought and it’s just a suggestion If you make your front door where it opens up and down instead of like a regular door then when u open it you can prop it up to open for air flow in the summer you’ll have a front roof/door that can be angled in different positions to regulate the air flow but when it’s down then gravity will hold it closed

That's how I made the first door on my first hut. It worked good enough. I think I'm going to need a winter door and a summer door. The current door is great for the summer but doesn't provide enough insulation for the winter. I need a pretty heavy door for the winter.

Sweet potato is my fav....ur technique seems taste enhancer
Steppe nomads used similar method to cook big chunks of meat. The would bury the meat in clay inside fire pit under the earth after the fire died out for 24 hours. Also we as kids used to cook regular potatoes like that, but even without the clay. I don't think you need such a thick layer of clay, it surely slows down the process 😉

Awesome and a great way to cook if you have little else available. I would only add that in a survival situation........eating the skins of your root vegetables and fruits is important as that's where the majority of the vitamins and minerals are usually located. Not a big deal if you're not in a real survival situation however so bake away!
@ChadZuberAdventures

I normally eat the skins when steamed in a pot but when prepared this way they inevitably get sand stuck in them and that can be a problem and cause chipped teeth. Peeling the skin off ensures that there is no sand on your food.
