    About This Video:
    I built a thatched workshop as an area to do future projects in out of the rain and weather. The structure was a 4 x 4 m square covered with a gabled thatched roof where the lowest point was 2 m above the ground and the highest point was 4 m. This is the largest hut I've built to date taking 5 weeks to build. The structure sheds rain quite well and being open and without walls allows smoke to exit without issue.
    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.

    Given the same haircut and shorts, I'd like to think this video was recorded and finished two years ago, but the laptop battery ran flat and it took two years to create a new one from clay, mud, and bamboo so he could finish the editing and upload it.

      Omg the ripoffs are so bad. The english is always weird and wrong, and they talk about the person in third person it's so weird. "Man does amazing work build pool with stone" and then they show before and after where obviously machines were used and the "Old country man" or whatever weird names they give themselves just comes in at the end and pretends to finish it by hand. Please somebody get some of the actual titles of the videos I'm talking about they are worse than I can come up with and hilarious to laugh at.

      While i agree he is in a league of his own, there are a select few channels following a very similar theme that are good in their own way. However, all the channels that mainly make "hidden houses with a pool" is the lazy kind of ripoff. No original and useful ideas.

    • @El_Chompo
      @El_Chompo 2 года назад +45

      @ilikebacon No that's not why it's bad. It's just one of the signs of the cheap ripoff channels usually, just like the cheap ripoff products you can buy online, for whatever reason they usually have poor english.
      It's bad because they pretend to do work and then fake it and machines do it.

    Unlike most other channels out there that are clearly fake and leave their destruction behind as a potentially very big hazard that would take a long time to heal, this guy on the other hand gets straight to the point and doesn’t try to accomplish wildly unrealistic feats that are simply untrue, like making swimming pools. (Even the ancient Greeks knew that you had to filter water constantly, lest it turning into something foul really quick, especially in the heat) Just simple materials used in nature like wood, sticks, leaves, sand, clay, mud, rocks, fire, and anything in between. He doesn’t always keep uploading every other week either, meaning that this clearly takes a lot of time.
    He might not live in the wild, but at least he’s honest and that his methods are real. It shows some real ways of how humans could’ve survived thousands of years ago. And this guy is pretty much doing it by himself, in 5 weeks! (Although I wouldn’t be surprised if he had some occasional help sometimes) *Mad respect.*

      There are so many others that make impressive looking stuff, but the whole "primitive" part of it is quite clearly just a front. They film a bit with a couple of guys using their hands. Then off-camera clearly don't continue using those methods and just by themselves.
      They've managed to turn it into entertainment that many people clearly enjoy watching, but they don't have charm as this OG right here who you know is actually doing all of this by himself, using the methods he shows. It's much more interesting to watch this more authentic approach imo. Very happy to see him back.

    So now we've built a couple of outdoor kilns and fired some pottery, built a teepee in the front yard, grown some potatoes, and collected sea shells to either etch pretty in vinegar or make calcium oxide cement, and she's asking why I don't just shimmy up the neighbours' trees to harvest branches and leaves like "that guy from the jungle building videos."

    Respect to this channel for being a legit primitive channel using primitive techniques unlike other primitive channels where they use modern day equipment to build things in the wild

      In the beginning of the video he's taking apart one of the old structure that he built for material for this new one. You can also see 2 more in the back ground at the end of the video. So i guess they did well.

      I don't know how being gone during the whole pandemic is being there when the world "needed" him most. I think you forgot. He doesn't care about you or really any viewers. He does this for himself. He puts it on RUclips for views. Not friends

      @@aboriani Really? I wasn't aware. Please if it is sooo "obvious," then explain how anything I said makes it "obvious" that I have "special needs." Even explain how anything I said could be wrong. Because last I checked, everything I stated is either factual or a reasonable conclusion based on evidence. So please explain. Be articulate. Make sure you you explain what makes me special and how I'm wrong in terms even someone with special needs could understand. Or are you too unintelligent to do so? That might make you the one with special needs...I think it's more obvious that you say things without thinking, but take your best shot. 😉
