Primitive Yucca Cordage Hammock - Part 1 (Season2, episode 2)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
For many years I've wanted to make a yucca cordage hammock and I have gradually made and collected several hundred feet of yucca cordage. A hammock made of natural fibers is a very primitive yet comfortable bed for a good night's sleep or an afternoon nap. But I need a lot more than just cordage to make a hammock. In this video I take you through all the steps in acquiring natural tools and materials in order to begin the weaving process.

I really liked the shower scene. It was such genuine moment, a fleeting opportunity brought by living close to nature and it’s rhythm. It spoke of natural acceptance of human body and unashamed nudity of a man who knows that there’s no-one to peek from the bushes. We should see more moments like that to accept our bodies, but alas, such scenes are all too rare in our modern culture. I’m happy Chad makes an exception. 😊

There is very little difference in thickness. I try to keep it close to the same thickness but different rolls end up slightly different in thickness. This cordage that is intended for the hammock is the average thickness that I usually make. It's quite strong. The cordage I make for fishing nets is about half as thick. For construction I usually make thicker cordage.

Amaranth is a drought-tolerant plant. The main time to focus on watering these plants is when the seed is germinating and when they are young seedlings. Try to keep the soil moist, and once plants are 2-4 inches tall, you can water 1-2 times a week. In the case of an infrequently visited adobe farm, ollas with water can be filled and used to seep water into their surroundings, branches for partial shade erected, and maybe a light mulch of shredded juniper bark and grasses applied. On the bright side, if aramanth gets established all the way to growing seeds (the part you eat), it will self-seed! (For those worried about invasiveness, Aramanth is native to the Americas, and has been grown on both continents by indigenous nations for thousands of years. It also goes by the nickname pigweed.) Amaranth does have a high amount of oxalates in its seeds (and its leaves; keep domesticated herbivores away from them unless they're used to eating stuff like that). These can be gotten rid of in the seeds by boiling, blanching, or even steaming, and discarding any liquids before consumption. Boiling is probably the most common method, which means an initial round of boiling and straining out the liquid, then a second round of boiling to finish cooking the seeds.
@ChadZuberAdventures
11 ай бұрын
Thanks for the information here. I have some small ollas but I need more and larger ones for it to be effective. I'm going to try to make enough time to make some more ollas. I didn't know that amaranth seeds were high in oxalates. I used to purchase and eat amaranth seed in Mexico.

About the chimney and its smokey behavior at times. I stumbled over a good explanation when a chimney draws/sucks air and when it doesn't: a hot column of air is lighter than a colder one not unlike a straw under water filled with air: in the straw you have a lighter column of air than the water around it.if you open both ends at the same time the water will enter from the lower end and the air bubles out the top. Once the air is gone in the straw its all over but in a chimney the air that enters from below will reheat and become lighter than the normal air outside. Getting it started is harder in your current design because you only heat the air at the entrance and the chimney has no reason yet to get gowing. A longer chimney will help just like a longer straw under water (or an more upright one compared to almost horizontal): more force but you still have to get the thing going. You could maybe set a starter fire in the upright portion of your chimney so the walls and the air column get warm...
@ChadZuberAdventures
11 ай бұрын
Yes, several people have explained this to me before. It makes perfect sense. However, I’m probably not going to want to spend the time to start a fire first in the chimney and then in the fireplace. It gets about only when I first start it and within 10 minutes it stops. But I may experiment with that idea just for the experience and to gain knowledge about fireplaces.

@@1123pawel actually it is not hard. A ram pump works by the pressure difference and hydraulics rather than electrical motors pumping water. It must be 'primed' (which you could do like a straw) and once primed, a one way valve is used. such a valve can be made out of any material, so long as it flaps. here is a good video that explains far better than I could. kzread.info/dash/bejne/papntsyElKfOh5s.html @Chad Zuber I think this could be done, provided three things, first, when making the clay pipes, you use a former, a stick or whatever. Second, on one end make a cup shaped flange, and seal it with primitve ceosote based glue. therefore a precision fit is not needed. and finally, youd need to make a cap or something to shut off the hydraulic action at the garden end. And since this is in fact, hydraulic, at can actually pump water uphill.

Some of the most primitive irrigation aside from carrying containers of water was basically mimicking a river or stream by etching out grooves in the ground to make water channels so the water was distributed when it was poured. In theory clay aqueducts or bamboo with holes notched into it would also work along with water collection vessels like the pots and vases you make.

The problem here is that there just isn't enough rain during much of the year. There's no water to channel. I need a large tank (or large ollas containers) to capture large amounts of water that can last for at least two months. Such a tank will require a good amount of time to build.

When would you tackle some iron melting and forging experience and so on to make some tools? You are already making pots and stuffs so you can also cook some iron tools as well to improve shelter life and speed up some recurrent processes. Of course If you don't want use your Ontario 499 or others knives used making sandals. If I was you... I definitely will use my old trusted Victorinox Outrider. Having a good saw to precisely notch making poles and joints or drilling holes is quite something in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, of course a sharp stone can cut as well, it is only matter of time and muscular exhaustion, perhaps it gives more satisfaction in the final result or more views in the entertainment. But be able to quick get things done or to use wood pegs for assembly can spare a lot of work and sacrifice and determine the method used to get things done.
