My Primitive 50th Birthday Party at the Hut: Piñata, Cake, Wine & More

Показать описание
Primitive cultures all had there own traditional ways to celebrate special events. Food, drink, costumes, decorations and unique activities were all sourced from the land and made to serve the purpose of the festivities. In this video I use the natural resources of the land to bushcraft a piñata, bake a cake, and brew some wine to celebrate my 50th birthday in the most primitive way. There are also cameo appearances by a desert tortoise, a diamondback rattlesnake, and coyotes can be heard howling in the distance. This series will be ongoing so stay tuned for the next episode.

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?

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 50.

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.

Hello, By the way, it is not often that a precious species of desert turtle will ever be seen in your proximity again. But if you do get a second chance to see him, give him/her some of your prickly pear fruit inorder to initiate the start of a good friendship. Incidentally, he/she won't interfere with your progress. So he or she will make an ideal distant companion. As for your garden, if the squash didn't proliferate, you may want to consider planting: onions, 🍅tomatoes, 🌶chilies, garlic, and cilantro to accompany a cooked and diced cactus paddle salad. And don't forget that 🌽corn can be an excellent addition too. Happy 🥮 birthday Chadwick!

Your videos make me feel so much better about life. I have chronic illness and I can't go do the primitive things I would love to do. I have many skills that I cannot now enjoy because of my health. But watching your videos really blesses me. Happy Birthday!

I don't know why, but the idea of eating a cake in the middle of a hailstorm, being in the middle of nowhere, and being by myself has a certain vibe to it.

27:54 you should save that water. Maybe make a special pot and lid to store it, might be useful for preserving hide later.

17:54 will you save some to plant also? I bet the would provide a beautiful natural shade, and I bet they flower at some point too.
