Primitive Shave with a Stone (episode 35)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

For thousands of years primitive cultures around the globe developed different self-care protocols for reasons of hygiene and appearance. Some allowed hair growth to be naturally uncontrolled. Some shaved their heads. Some shaved their beards. Today we can see the great diversity and obsession concerning body hair on the streets of many major cities worldwide.
In this video I explore a primitive method of shaving the male beard and mustache to learn what it was like back then to remove facial hair. I was surprised by the result. This series will be ongoing so be sure to stay tuned for the next video.

My equipment:
Camera: Nikon D7500 and GoPro Hero7 Black
Sound: Zoom H6
Editing: Final Cut Pro X on MacBook Air
Location: Parts Unknown
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Who films you?
Me. I travel alone, shoot, edit, upload, everything, all alone. On a few occasions I may be accompanied by a friend, but that has been very rare.
Do you stay out there permanently?
No, I usually stay out in a wilderness area for about a week and then hike out and return to a city for editing and uploading. I have family and other obligations to take care of as well.
How many cameras do you use?
Usually I use just one camera. When I have underwater scenes then I also use a GoPro camera. I get different angles by moving the camera around and repeating the action to create a more cinematic viewing experience for the audience.
Where is this place?
In order to protect the integrity of the natural landscape I prefer to be very vague about the locations I use. There are places that I used to visit that were so beautiful and untouched but the consequences of social media brought all kinds of people to visit and sadly some people do not respect nature and have badly damaged these places. Therefore I do not share locations.
Where did you get your sandals?
I first started wearing sandals on outdoor adventures in February 2014. I’m so glad that I did because wearing these Luna Sandals has really helped strengthen my feet. You can see their selection of adventure and running sandals at this link: www.lunasandals.com/?rfsn=102...
(Note: I receive an affiliate commission from any sales derived from clicking on the link above)
Do you workout?
Yes, I workout, but not in a gym. I have some weights that I use and also do a lot of bodyweight exercises. I also run and sometimes swim. I hike frequently to collect wild foods and to shoot these videos so I'm very active all the time.
Are you vegan or vegetarian?
I wish I could maintain my health on a primal diet that does not include animals but unfortunately that did not work well and I ended up with health problems as a result of those attempts. From my studies, observations of nature, and personal experience I have come to believe that the best diet for optimal human health is a primal diet (paleo).
Do you get lonely when you’re alone?
No, I don’t get lonely. I’m actually so busy shooting video, taking photos and doing so many other things like making cordage, cooking, weaving, etc. that I really don’t have time to think about my lonely condition. Sometimes when something profound happens on an adventure I can’t wait to share it with people, but other than that I do not get lonely.
How many languages do you speak?
My first language is English but I also speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese. I also speak very little Russian. I may soon begin learning more languages.
How old are you?
I was born in 1972. At the time of this video I was 49.
Where did you get the music in your videos?
This series is the first one that I am making all the music myself. I recently made a drum and maracas (rumba shaker). I am now using them to create the intro and ending music in my videos, but before in the past I have used royalty free music from several sources including KZread. Sometimes I bought the music but usually it was free.

I'm a redhead and I suffer from fare skin that burns easily but for the last 3 years I've had 0 sunburn on the lower half of my face and I'm convinced the hairs keep the oils off the skin/prevent excess of oil build-up as I almost never get any kind of pimple or breakout of any kind under my beard.

    I think we don't grow hair on the nose because the nose is generally quite colder than the rest of our face, if you look at a face on a thermal camera the nose is often the coldest part, if our noses were shorter then perhaps hair protection would make sense but our noses protrude quite a lot from our face and might be considered pointless from an evolutionary standpoint

Later, humans learned to hit rocks in such a way that they could get rocks in the shapes they wanted. Love your videos, two years ago I started watching your content 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Greetings from Argentina!

    12:10 watching you build that fire was very helpful. As I said in my previous comment, I think the problem of smoke flowing into the hut is two fold. Both the shallow firebox, and an insufficient draw due to too small a length of chimney. When the heat of the fire was sufficient, it aided the weak draft, and pulled the smoke out, So perhaps if you took a large bit of juniper bark, and let it burn while holding it up near the chimney, with some smoldering tinder below, you could see for yourself, as that would determine if draw is a problem. 13:22 same problem is manifesting itself again with the addition of the grate I think. Also, if it's very windy, do you get bursts of smoke into your hut during gusts? 15:57 I think maybe adding about two feet of length would solve your problems with smoke, and since the roof is highly flammable, I'd do it just for added insurance.

    Thanks for the information. YES! a few days ago it was windy and I noticed burst of flames blowing inside. I was shocked. Several people have suggested I build the chimney higher so I am going to do that little by little and test it along the way. I need to make the bricks specific to the ones I used to make the chimney first. I've been so busy trying to make videos and other tasks I just haven't been able to get to that yet. Perhaps I will make a video dedicated to fixing the smoke problem. It's not a terrible problem. I can totally live fine with it. Also the roof really isn't a concern for me anymore. I found that juniper bark does not catch fire easily.

    Even having access to modern shaving tools, like Gillette and balms, I can feel your pain because my beard is hard as metal wire, and not all electric trimmers can manage it when I let it grow for a few weeks. Softening it with a hot wet towel or shaving after a shower definitely helps 100%, makes it much easier for the razor to cut through hairs. You did the right thing using warm water. I just wish you had a sharper and a larger shard of obsidian. I used to think shaving with a axe was cool, but now I think shaving with obsidian is much cooler! Thank you, Chad! You're like a brother to me, and I wish I could assist you with your work with the bricks or at least bring you water. I would pay to stay with you for a month or more, because I am a nature person and I am sure there are many of people like me dreaming to take a break form today and live a life you are living right now.

    LOL! you did exactly what I said In a comment to someone else on your beard post. I was like "I'm willing to bet any culture with access to obsidian, flint, chert etc found out pretty quickly you could shave with them" even mentioned I keep a longer beard in the winter for warmth. Great minds think alike I suppose. 🤣 Excellent video chad. Edit: alright so, couple things. I wont get into steps and platforms and all that jazz but you want to use the right tools and a round river rock for a hammer stone will help alot as well as using some of those cow bones as "boppers" As for the most basic technique to want to look for a ledge and try to hit it with a glancing blow to the ledge or edge and that will help drive a flake off. The close to the edge the thinner the flake usually and the higher up the more of a base it will have before thinning out. But then comes pressure control for driving flakes and blah it can get complicated fast lol. Just stick with glancing blows to edges and ledges. Hitting it repeatedly like you did top down right in the middle can send fractures deep into the piece and make it just turn into useless chunks. Wish I'd known you had some obsidian chad. Man the list of tools that would have eased your life if I had known lol. Anyways yeah loved the video and keep it up man. Learning new skills ca. Be a B sometimes. But you'll get it 😁👍

    Facial hair has a multitude of purposes. As you've discovered, warmth. It also can be protection from sun. It can also cut glare from ambient light which is important during hunting or hiding from enemies or predators. Eyebrows, eye lashes, ear & nostril hair each serve as protection for the corresponding organs.

    This is an interesting point. However, there's something missing, clearly. Sure, a beard keeps the face warm, but that can hardly be a major advantage; and my reasoning is this. If warmth was such an important factor, then why did humans largely lose most of our body hair? I suspect that there was some selective selection in the past. Facial hair was probably a signal to females that a male had reached sexual maturity. But then, I'm just speculating.

After all we are still covered in tiny colourless hairs from head to toe. The hair just changed into a more practical form, currently the consensus is that our current form of body hair is related to sweating as it allows for a better temperature management and prevents overheating since our way of hunting was essentially relentlessly pursueing our prey until it ran out of steam. How beards factor into this, no idea; maybe it's just a health and age indicator...

(kind of an understatement for this channel i guess lol) the way my skin gets irritated even when trimming with electric shavers i'd probably just go full beard, but i completely understand the discomfort from not being able to recognize oneself. do you reckon it's worth the struggle to shave your beard like that? not sure how (or if at all) available these options would be, but using oils/fat, aloe vera or even mashed fruits (the type that isn't too watery) as lubricant could be helpful, and even protect the skin. anyway, hope those razor burns are gone by now, best of luck with the rest of the beard hahah santa chad will be missed! até a próxima chad

    Learning the art of flint knapping is quite difficult. using the right striking tool, the angle that you strike the object, be it fling, obsidian, or quartz, and striking the piece in the correct location takes much time and practice. I have seen various experts flint knapping and I am amazed at what they do, but they never just pound the piece with a stone. Flint knapping, easy to talk about, very hard to do. Now shaving your beard, you may regret not waiting for warmer weather, your call. The statement at 23:10 is also very difficult. Thoreau was well known for his ability to live quite simply. He also said; "A man should be able to leave his home behind with nothing more than he can carry, and feel he left nothing of importance behind". This Chad has done well in accomplishing this, and with only privative equipment, made by him.;-)

    The beard only covers a tiny percentage of a man’s body. So to say it’s for warmth is inaccurate. To say it’s for sun protection is inaccurate. A few guys said that it helps to cushion a punch to the jaw so I guess that’s valid, but why then don’t we have hard jaw plates like an armadillo?

    Flint knapping is no joke though. I was wathcing this guy Will Lord, he said that he was flintknapping since 5 years old, and he even got silicosis due to breathing all the stone dust in. It's hard, precise work, and almost always a guarantee that you'll cut yourself with sharp flint or obsidian shards. But also one of the most satisfying things to watch. I wish chad gives it a shot someday, maybe to make a stone axe.

Example the bearded lady. The Wolfman his daughter had facial hair. It's a rare condition. But she grew hair all over her body. I think she had it lasered off because she didn't really like the way it looks. Also women going through menopause will grow facial hair. That's when we have to have it waxed and plucked off. It's painful and uncomfortable and it hurts
