Mobile Palm Panel for Shade and Rain - Will it work? (episode 3.8)

Sun and rain. I need both to survive but too much of either one will wreck my day. To gain some control of the power of the sun and rain I decided to build a primitive mobile panel that I can place where I want it to give me shade and protect outdoor items from the rain.

Fan Palm can also be made as a Hand-held Fan to cool yourself especially in hot summer time. It can also be used to drive air to your fire place when you are making a fire .... Besides, many people in South East Asia use fan palm to make simple roof for their hut ( usually when the palm are still green & fresh which is easier to handle ).

Getting green leaves is difficult because they are higher up on the palm. They are also harder to transport because they are bigger when they are green. A fan for the fireplace is an excellent idea.

if you want to help increase the over all plant and animal health in the region i think making a makeshift beaver dam or to in some of the seasonal rivers/streams... i heard it insures that the water will slowdown enough to better soak into the ground which helps the plants and animals... also apparently it can help create fire breaks to slowdown and supress wild fires... i think it could help with fishing if make correctly... regardless making some small swells and berms along any nearby channels that rain water flows should help with erosion and plant growth in your area... then again if i had my own land to live and build on i'd let my inner medieval nerd out and start building a castle/fort...

With your lashings, is there a reason you are ignoring the "frapping" step? After you get the few wraps around the branches you should tighen them up by doing a few wraps around the lashing itself to pull the loops around the branches tightly together.

Yeah, I've used a sling before. I'm terrible at it. I really need a lot of practice.

You could probably make a broom for sweeping the floor inside of your hut clean of dirt men you are finished with the floor.

I think that would work indeed.

I have a question Chad. Have you ever considered hunting for food like rabbit and coyote? Both can be eaten if cooked well.

@ChadZuberAdventures Ай бұрын

Rabbit is a possibility. There are coyote, deer and javelina out here too but hunting them is really tough. I rarely see them. Trapping small game is more possible.

Make an umbrella out of 3 palm fans may be?

@ChadZuberAdventures Ай бұрын

That would be kind of hard to do. But would be cool.

He freed the butterfly but starved a spider to death! ... Lesson of the day Children... Don't interfere with nature! 😉

I'm for the butterfly.

@ChadZuberAdventures Ай бұрын

Hahahahah! That's a bit of an extreme conclusion. Can you tell me where was the spider? Perhaps instead of doing his job the spider was playing around chasing girl spiders.

La araña no hizo un buen cálculo para escoger el terreno de caza. Necesita estudiar como fabricar su tela fuera de las zonas de paso de los supervivientes primitivos.

@@ChadZuberAdventures I'm sorry ! I forgot that when you set a trap for a bear you have to stay next to it to make sure it will work!
