    This video coincides with the release of my new book "Primitive technology", which releases exactly 4 years and 6 months since my first video post on this channel. This video compilation, as well as the book, outlines all the skills and achievements I've attained in this time period using research, hard work and trial and error. Writing this book is something I wanted to do even before making videos and launching this channel. I wanted to offer something tangible that benefited those who had the same keen interest in primitive technology as I do. With that, I thank each and every one of you for your continued support throughout the years, and I really hope you enjoy the book. You can pre-order here: po.st/PrimTechBook

    About Primitive Technology:
    Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber.

    Because of this guy, I have atleast one fort at all of my family member's houses (at the farms and in the woods) that I built with my brother and my friend. I'm currently building a shelter in the woods next to my house using mud brick and whatever else I can manage to build with. He is such an inspiration and I remember when I first watched his videos, I was amazed at how 1 man can do all of this with the least amount of technology possible. Been with the channel for 6 years now. Much love and respect

      Yeah, he did. However, the people ripping him off are not as good as he is. Most of the things they build would end up hurting/killing you.
      OTHER PRIMITIVE CHANNELS: "Ooooo! Look at me, building a primitive underground mansion with a waterfall swimming pool and spike traps for home defense."
      ME: "Yeah, that's nice......until you get a good down-pour of rain. Then, you can drown in your primitive mansion; or, get crushed when the rains causes the whole thing to collapse down on you. Also, your 'swimming pool' will act like a breeding ground for mosquitoes...soooooo, would you like to malaria much?"
      It seems like the only things they're building are primitive graves for themselves. Which is why I like this guy; he's grounded and down-to-Earth about the things he builds.
