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: https://www.lunasandals.com/?rfsn=102280.45562&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=102280.45562

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 YouTube. Sometimes I bought the music but usually it was free.
Tengo una duda desde hace ya tiempo que no tiene que ver con este video ,, Porque en el capitulo delos mangos solo cogiste un mango para comer y no te llevaste sino todos muchos de ellos lo hubieras aprovechado para comer y los destruidos para hacer mermelada,,, me parecio extraño que no aprovecharas esa gran oportunidad.. P’or cierto me alegra de corazon que te este yendo bien y que siga asi tambien me alegro de que hayas estado con gente que tb hace falta socializar y mas para ti q tan solo estas siempre sigue asi amigo yo tambien tengo entre manos algo parecido pero aun me faltan las camaras , pero lo hare desde que pueda comprarlos,,, no igual que tu pero bueno parecido.. Lo dicho un saludo y que sigas creciendo
ur body shaved so good in nature😅
Me surge la pregunta: ¿sabes algo de primeros auxilios? no lo tomes a mal pero me da la impresión que no es asi, algunas pocas vendas y compresas sumado al conocimiento necesario puede ser la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte eso sin contar con algunos medicamentos clave sobre todo para un posible shock anafilactico, hablo de situaciones como una fractura severa en una pierna, un corte profundo en un brazo, un hombro luxado o la picaduras de abeja todas estas situaciones vividas por personas cercanas a mi en la montaña.
in the intia part of video, sound of water cove sound of voice, almost not able to ear.
Nice 👍
Hello Chad! i was wondering, what country are you from? and what was the first country you travelled to make this adventure?
You should work on a basement that goes from the back of your hut, underground storage area, or actually craft a bed LMAO. DO IT DO IT
Awesome!!
Smear your skin with mud as well if needed.
You are freaking amazing Chad! Super impressed with your language and skills acquisitions! 👌🏽
now you look like thin.

Hello Chad Zuber👋
Bringing no first aid whatsoever seems a little reckless. Not talking about for cuts and bruises, but stuff you would need to be able to get out if injured, like tourniquet off a bleeding wound or immobilising a broken bone, major burns or poisoning. I find a shemag will take care of most of these issues, and I will usually bring along a few coal tablets if I’m outdoors for longer periods, in case of food poisoning. A small flask of antiseptic for burns. It all depends how far away from civilisation you are, I suppose.
Привеееет👋👋😁Я из Росси, замечательно слышать от тебя родной свой язык,ты молодец, это тяжело скорее всего морально, так жить, одно дело когда ты с рождения в природе, тогда всё наоборот😁мы должны дружить с природой,потому, что мэтак как мы живём это ужас, вы нашли себя👍😁я очень удивлена, как вы через это прошли, ещё когда зима, это ужас😌ничего нет, и тебе нужно самому выживать и искать выходы, мне очень интересно на тебя смотреть, как на первобытного человека, который сам добывает все, за счёт природы😁👍только не останавливайся, снимай ещё видео👍до встречи👋👋😌
I actually don’t know why you don’t get ‘that’ much views? It’s insane! Theses videos are SOOOO good! Everything about them is just so professional I wish you made a Netflix show!
Good morning Mr.chad🙏

Does your family ever join you?
Você é realmente brilhante!
Me identifiquei muito com tudo que você faz, sou apaixonada pela vida simples e por acaso te achei no YouTube.
Que você possa continuar com seus vídeos, pois você é muito inspirador.
Prazer imenso em assisti lo,
Sou do Brasil, Estado de Minas Gerais, cidadela de Iturama.
Deus te abençoe sempre!
You look great. Please show a video of how you train?
как вы справляетесь с отсутствием людей вокруг вас? не трудно жить без человека, женщин, и других социальных потребностей?
Sir Chad can you include me in your next shout out? Please?? I really love your videos.
Me encanta escuchar la historia de la vida real porque deja esperiencias que uno puede decir mejorare mi vida o mejoraré un viaje toda experiencia hay que sacarle el lado positivo me agradó todo lo expresado
Chad lo de esa planta que pica es bueno conocerla porque haces topa uno con plantas así hay un zacate que despide un pelo que también lo hirrita a uno y deja ronchas o vejigas no se la expresión de decirlo
Me gustaría ver flores del campo aveces tú haces tomas de eso pero me gustaría ver las especies que hay
Bueno saludos gracias por compartir parte de tu vida éxitos futuros
Pura Vida 🇨🇷🌎🌴
29:11 me ocurre lo mismo cuando tallo madera, solo yo un trozo de madera y mi cuchillo escuchando los pajaros en mi jardin rodeado de plantas..
يا رجل كانت هذه إحدى أكثر الڤيديوهات جمالا وهدوءا وسلاما.
أحببت أسلوبك الصادق البسيط والمباشر في التعامل مع الطبيعة وشكرها.
وأتفق تمامًا معك في أن أخبار المجتمع أصبحت مؤخرا جدا سلبية ومزعجة وتشحنك طاقة سلبية.
أتمنى أن يكون هذا العالم أكثر سلاما وأمنا.
نتابعك من سوريا صديقي "Chad"
Thanks alot from Syria 🌷🙏
Keep gone.
Sunscreen is useless. It is nothing more than a selling gimmick from the beauty industry. Yep. INDUSTRY.
hey guys, he is Chad zuber, literally chad on his name, no need no first aid kit
I enjoy your videos so much. They are calming and informative.
Like seeing velvet beans. Did you know that in clinical trials they have shown to have a compound that is helpful in Parkinson’s patients?
VOCE É MUITO HUMILDE E CATIVANTE
I remember the 2008 recession 😔
You give me major Les Stroud vibes.
God bless you too Chad Zuber🙏
Hi from mexicali baja california,mexico.
I realy enjoy the videos, thanks!!
All the places i been seen in youre videos, it seems a place called "la rumorosa" by the area of rocky mountains and vegetation.
Finally, i want to get a cooking pot with the primal tendences logo to cook my beans.
(yes, i use one of those, but its not from chad)
Have you been thinking of selling clay pots?.
I dont speak a lot of english, i do my best!
Чад , это очень круто , что ты изучаешь русский язык, желаю удачи в этом не лёгком деле , продолжай снимать!)
Great Wisdom May Your Words Be Heard By All Ears…
Unfortunately you won’t be picked for any of those shows due to you are so far advanced over the people they usually choose, that you would win hands down. That is why they will never have you on as a contestant…. 😢😢😢😢
مرحبا انا من متابعين فيديوهاتك اتعلم منك ولو شي صغير انت صبور وشجاع سؤال ماهو وضعك هل عندك اطفال ومكان بيتك كيف غير بيت الكوخ لانني ارى فيك رجل تعتمد عالطبيعة بشكل اساسي
Sou seu fã, acompanho todos os seus vídeos e fico feliz em saber que vc gosta do meu pais, do povo brasileiro, da nossa natureza e etc… Um forte abraço do Brasil!!!
Peace and love.
I want to know how to get iron ore.
I am one of your followers from Arabs who speak Arabic
I love that you give thanks to nature, talk to the animals and plants. I do that too. We are all one family. Enjoy the Q&A video.
Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz toll das alles zu sehen DANKE. 😉
You kind of remind me of Steve mre lol even though your content is kind of the exact opposite
Heeeyyy👏👏👏
Dal momento che parli spagnolo e portoghese penso che tu sia a un passo dal comprendere e parlare anche l’Italiano. Complimenti per il tuo lavoro che è davvero eccellente e unico.
Honestly, those shows are very fake as well.
زندگی در طبیعت درسته سخته اما بسیار لذت بخشه بر خلاف زندگی ماشینی
La verdad es que he aprendido mucho contigo mas de lo q crees x ej con esas judias mezquite toda la vida viendolas incluso barriendolas y no sabia ni que se comia , tb con tu primer molde para hacer los ladrillos muy ingeniosa y muchisimo menos complicado de todas las que he visto hasta lo del horno dakota q mira que a mi desde q tengo uso de razon los indios americanos m han encantado de hecho creo q en mi otra vida fui uno y creo q fui apache me encantaria visitar EEUU solamente por irme a una reserva y m hicieran de la tribu y tambien xq me identifico mucho ya que yo soy 100% Canario y aqui paso algo similar con lo que les paso a los pobres indios… al echarlos de su propio pais x alguien extranjero fue exactamente lo q paso aqui antes de que colon descubriera america incluso asi q ese sentimiento siendo canario pero evidentemente no descendiente de Guanches xq los masacraron a todos sino q soy origenes cubanos y soy Español por supuesto, pero opino q no hay q pelear por la tierraa no deberia de haber fornteras si lo piensas bien tu aqui en la tierra estas de prestado todo lo que obtienes a lo largo de la vida es prestado no te lo puedes llevar contigo ni los egipcios pudieron y sacrificaron tantas vidas para intentar llevarselas con ellas es absurdo .pero bueno perdona tampoco quiero aburrirte mas .. sigue asi y date una vuelta devez en cuando a ver al amigo aunque lo hagas comer huevos crudos jajajajajaja venga un saludo cuidate
