About This Video:
I smelted iron bacteria in a short furnace and produced a small quantity of iron prills (small iron spheres). In my ongoing quest to reach the iron age, further experiments were conducted concerning furnace design and the treatment of ore. I began by making a very short furnace. A pit 25 cm wide and 25 cm deep was dug and the tuyere of the forge blower placed in a 15 degree downward angle into the pit. Onto this, a furnace stack made of mud and grass was built 25 cm above ground level. The furnace was fired at various stages to help dry it. It took less than a day to build.
Eucalyptus wood was collected dead off the ground and stacked into a re-useable charcoal mound I had made previously. The top was sealed with mud and the mound lit. It took about 2 hours 30 minutes for fire to reach the air entries, at which time the holes were sealed and the top closed with mud.
Iron bacteria from the creek was gathered and brought to the smelting hut for processing. Charcoal was ground into a powder and mixed with the ore and water in the proportions of 1:1 char to ore by volume. This mixture was formed into 59 pellets 2.5 cm in diameter and then dried on top of the furnace.
To make the smelt, a wood fire was made in the furnace and allowed to burn for about an hour by natural draft and blowing. When the wood burnt down to the tuyere the furnace was filled with charcoal and 10 pellets were added to the top and the blower was engaged. Three handfuls of charcoal and 10 pellets were added at about 7 minute intervals totaling about 42 minutes. Charcoal was then continuously added after the last charge until the basket was empty. It took a total of about 3 hours working the blower until the operation ended.
The mass of slag and iron prills was prized out of the furnace using a log and wooden tongs. It was hammered flat while hot but no large bloom was made. Instead many small iron prills were found. These mostly seemed to be cast iron.
So far this is the largest amount of iron I've made in the wild and it used less charcoal than previous attempts, so I consider it a success of sorts. The ore must be mixed with carbon to ensure the correct reduction chemistry normally provided by carbon monoxide in a taller bloomery furnace. The fact that cast iron was produced suggests that next time less charcoal powder be added to the ore pellets or perhaps none at all considering that dead iron bacteria may also contribute some carbon to the ore. Alternatively, cast iron can be re-melted in a "finery" furnace, a small highly oxidizing furnace, to remove excess carbon, producing steel or iron. Alternatively cast iron can be converted into malleable cast iron by heating it in an enclosed container at 800-1000 c for long periods. Further experiments will be conducted.
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.
It's mostly cast iron because I added too much charcoal powder. Previous attempts (at home, not in the wild) yielded malleable iron that could be hammered flat. I thought that such a short furnace would be too oxidizing but it turns out ok. Any iron smelters feel free to ask questions/ offer advice bellow. Thanks.
i love u
will you able to melt or weld the pellets together? very cool
I LOVEY
Wait, what do you mean by home? I thought the wild was your home...
How many seen Iron Pills? :)
Thank you for not talking.
Thank you for not playing dumb-ass royalty free music.
Thank you for not being flashy.
Your videos are very entertaining and thought provoking.
yo he can talk lol
No he can't. That comes later after he discovers syllables in one of his fires.
lol he should domesticate some local wildlife
And thank you for not building the goddamn swimming pool
palpacino LMAO!!
Today on "Survivor":
- "Yesterday was difficult. We have no food and I dont think we will last much longer. What about you, Dave?"
- "I created iron."
- "...What do you mean you "created" iron?"
Underrated 🤣
Replace "Dave" with "John"
...may I see it?
Be like Dave. He watches Primitive Technology so he can unlock Iron Age in just a day.
I think dave just played minecraft and made iron nuggets
Nowadays there are many copycat channels about primitive technology but rest assured yours is the *BEST* and I'll always watch your uploads, congrats!
Pesterenan
No, the contents are different.
Those posers just use the word "Primitive" in their titles just to bait clicks.
This guy content is unique.
那些廢物只會抄襲賺流量，要看真正的原始技術還是要來這個視頻！
none of the imitators are even close.
I watch a few of those copycat channels, and some are pretty legit. But many of them obviously have off camera help. Huge amounts of food and bricks appearing off screen. Big projects completed in short amounts of time. Total sham.
There was copycats again last night alfred
This guy was the real og before all the random RUclipsrs who started making waterslides out of mud and sticks.
Yeah like those channels named "Primitive Wilderness Technology Survival Tools" that do nothing but make pools every 2 feet
Lol, why does it always have to be pools. Not only that but they would eventually get infested with tons of dangerous bacteria when the water cant be cleaned.
you guys get it
His hammering of the slag lined up perfectly with the song I was listening to at the same time ("Pearls 2 Swine" by 3Teeth)... on another note I'm guessing he's no longer producing videos due to last years fires in 'Stralia?
Im kinda retarded but Not to mention it's just a breeding ground for mosquitos inside of your camp. Not a good idea what so ever.
Literally the only good bit of RUclips rewind
yeah i even clicked dislike at first but they saved it at the end
But bongo cat
GodTheRealOG oh shit, my bad
bongo cat is ded tho

8:20 Molten slag casually lands on arm.
Yeah... no biggie. I'll just bump that off.
As if this guy wasn't a badass already!
I used to work in demolition with a hot axe cutting rusty steel. Got to the point where if a piece of slag that fell into my boot was under a 3/8 of an inch in diameter, I wouldn't bother pulling it out. It just wasn't worth the hassle because it would be out and cold by the time I got my boot off. Anything bigger and I'd just slap the side of my boot to help cool it. Thug life.
He was sweaty enough that the Leidenfrost effect just let it slide off without a serious burn. Doesn't make it any less badass though
A someone who has done metalwork, I guarantee his inner monologue was "OH FU- Im fine back to work"
Brad Griffin yeah I work in as a welder, and the other day I was using my cutting torch to cut a 1/4 inch piece of steel overhead, and a drop of molten slag about the size of a dime landed on my arm and rolled off. I didn't even flinch. I've had to get used to that sort of thing because flinching might cause me mess up my cut, and you don't always get 2nd chances
I was kinda hypnotized by the whole process, and got me thinking about the first human beings making their first metalic tools. We came a really long way...
That's science fiction mate, there were never first humans and we didn't start in mud huts.
You can now live that dream minecraft
*chpsilva*
Today's dreams, tomorrow's reality.
Denisovans, neanderthals, homo erects, all trial and error, nature scientifically experimenting and we're just the latest stage in the process.
We've come a long way, in just the last 150-200 years alone and we've a long way yet to go, but the changes are exponential.
Maybe the metal tools were a consequence of overfiring earthenware or creating a furnace and someone thought: _Hullo, I think I have something here!_

I am the 221 like on this comment
Hey Dude. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I just have a quick comment. When you were flattening after the initial extraction, I would suggest to wipe away the flakes as often as possible. Hammering the hot ore itself, while hot, actually removes the impurities with every strike. The cleaner the anvil surface, the less impurities you will incorporate in the grain of the iron as the metal folds in on itself. I know it was mostly slag, but in general, when blacksmithing, you want to wipe away the flakes often to not reincorporate them into your piece. No blacksmtih shop is without some kind of descaling brush for just this reason. I am sure you will figure it out, because you are a champion.
Edward Hector he was making it outside on a rock lmao
yeah that would work if he had a more consolidated bloom.
his is not really malubel enough to work right.
in this case he needs to add some flux to make the slag more fluid.
that would prevent the shattering of the bloom and make it so he could actually consolidate the iron "prills".
then he could start to work out the slag and make some wrought iron.
any ideas on finding a flux in the wild? (not being sarcastic, generally interested)

The moment he builds a knife, wheat flour and oil, is the moment this series will be on track for the nuclear era.

I have a book that shows how to make primitive oil for lanterns and candles
Not to be confused by those hackcopy channels! it's the one and only original PRIMITIVE TECHNOLOGY. nice to see you upload my dude. EDIT: The new LOGO looks great! it's about time!
That's not fair to those other channels. All of our ancestors did this at some point, so it's not like one person owns the right to do this kind of thing.
Primitive technology isn’t exactly a word he cam up with, it’s literally “old technology”
It is a bit of a rip off when they're just wearing shorts and dont say anything during the video. That is a definite style copy even though the products they make are different.
Others can make videos in the same genre, but Primitive Technology is the best, and he will always be the original.
I know. The other channels just teach you how to cook with fire and how to build unnecessary things. Like why the f will I need a swimming pool in the middle of the jungle?
New level unlocked : *The Iron Age*

Iron age is the use of Iron tools. So not yet, but very close.
yeah but this is a new game.

yes it very cool
Xander Prime The point is he would still be behind human technology.
This man does all the things I randomly think about doing while sitting down and pondering about how human kind have gotten to the current point in technology and social advancement
I don't think some cultures actually reached the iron age.
*Iron Age is coming*
*And there is no coming back*
he skipped the copper age
Дмитрий Иванович was there a copper age? Not in Finland.
Coming he’s already in it
Дмитрий Иванович Bronze Age not copper
Given the time and effort needed to extract such a small amount of iron makes you realise how valuable iron objects must have been 2000 years ago.
@@NerdyNEET 4000 years ago iron was pretty much unheard of. Place was called the Bronze Age.
@@NerdyNEET Ah, so not "4000 maybe".
Edit: Just did some digging and according to Sims and Ridge (2002) iron heavy infantry equipment in 1300 cost half a year's skilled artisan salary. And that was only 700 years ago. The Vindolanda tablets say iron “was significantly more valuable than even exotic, imported foodstuffs such as anise and caraway and more expensive, by a factor of four or five, than the enigmatic ‘spices’ per order on tablet 193" (Bray 2010).
So it seems, contrary to what you may think, iron was extremely expensive 2000 years ago and it was still extremely expensive only 700 years ago.
@@mjribes nah it was just harvested from meteors. Imagine dying by mysterious space metal with cool patterns on it.
@@mjribes Great to see someone who backs up what they say with references.
Iron is still very valuable. Besides, have you looked into getting iron armour made lately? It’s insanely pricy (especially as it’s hardly a necessity for the average soldier, let alone civilians)

I recently visited an archaeological site that was in an area known to have the remains of many iron smelting workshops dating to around the 8th century BC, said to be one of the major centres of iron production in the world at the time. Piles and piles of broken furnaces and tuyeres just underneath the surface, some of the digs were literally just 3 feet deep. Next to some of the open dig sites you could see other slight mounds of earth covered by grass and I suspected that there must be stuff underneath there as well.
We met a local man while walking around the site, he grew up in the area and he showed us some intact furnaces standing next to the field "office" (literally just a metal shipping container) that he had found in somebody's uncle's backyard; they'd been handed over to the Dept of Museums. He said that stuff like that just popped up all the time in the area, you just had to know where to look. A lot of the locals don't really know what kinds of treasures they have right in their own backyard bc it's just been there for as long as they can remember, and they don't know how it got there. As we spoke he pointed out that the actual ground we were standing on literally had pieces of iron slag embedded in it. It's so cool to come back to this video and watch it being done and think about how that place, thousands of years ago, would have had people doing exactly what you are doing in this video, and thinking about how much goddamn WORK it was just to get a few tiny balls of iron, and realising that that was how civilisations were built. A whooooole lot of sweat, day by day, for thousands and thousands of years.
It was a very unassuming site, no fancy facilities, displays or bells and whistles at all but definitely interesting for archaeology/anthropology nerds.
I love how this guys content is legit, compared to others.
Hi there.Love your stuff. One of the reasons you're not extracting enough iron is it seems you are not fluxing it enough- ironmaking needs the following: iron -bearing material, charcoal/ coke for reduction of the iron ore and flux for slag making/ removal of impurities from those ores . Your slag is very 'acidic' ( black) you need to have a more 'basic' slag ( white) Addition of lime will help- addition of lime your shell calcination vid will fix this up. ( acid/basic chemistry stuff, from high school) ) I am a metallurgist, and used to make blast furnace iron at BHP Newcastle. Happy to help you get the balance right.
I'd love to see if any more iron prills are formed if the slag is smelted a second time. I'd also love to see experiments in using the slag for other purposes after it's smelted.
Seeing him make cement would be pretty cool.
BigGreen21 Slag can be used in the making of cement, but he said in a previous video he didn’t have access to limestone on the property he films his videos on. He’d have to save up/gather a lot of shells to convert into lime to make even a small brick. He’s done that in a previous video
Never would have thought of extracting iron from bacteria. Impressive.
Try to make a larger shaft furnace with heat recuperation. As far as I understand, preheated air is required to properly smelt iron and get a pool of liquid metal. I can imagine how hard it is to achieve with primitive tools though. I really enjoy watching these, it is just inspiring.
Please never do a voice reveal and keep your videos the way they are forever.
No he should. He has to build the mic he does it on.
One of his first videos he talks abit

Looking forward to Primitive technology Fusion Reactor
gtirsblow it's simple, just collect millions of tons of hydrogen and Viola, fusion reactor
And it starts with "Gathering sticks and mud..."
Chernobyl 2.0
It’s honestly amazing how even if you don’t know what he’s doing, you can still understand why he does it. Like the constant firing up of the furnace as he’s building it, I then realized he does that probably because the mud/clay is too malleable when moist and would probably collapse if he didn’t keep firing it up. But by myself I never would have initially thought that
not sure if you know this but he explains what he is doing through the captions
There are probably ferrous mineral deposits near cliffs if there are any in your area. Collecting the ore, pulverizing it into a grain and smelting that should yield larger and more feasible results than small prills of iron. I could be wrong though *Probably not since magnetite iron ore is mainly mined in Australia, so prospecting in nearby sediment should reveal at least something in my opinion
I tend to imagine you are right, for one, hematite and magnetite are fairly common with hematite being one of the most common minerals on the Earth's surface. It also happens to be the one most used in the production of iron. Either of the two should work. In fact, if you check this site out it will tell you almost the exact same thing. geology.com/minerals/hematite.shtml
My dad wanted to go prospecting for gold... many, many hours were spent discussing various iron ores like hematite and magnetite. In fact, if you dig enough dirt out of your yard and pan it... once the "blondes" are out of it... you will have the "heavies" with are hematite and magnetite mostly. However, if you have occasion to be near the right beach... you will find black sand that is mostly made of hematite and magnetite along with all sorts of other metals. I have some of the stuff from a beach in Oregon and at a guess I'd say it has small amounts of platinum, palladium, osmium, and Iridium as well as the gold... a real PIA though since the gold is flecks that are so small and thin they will literally float unless you add something to break the surface tension of the water. Not sure about the platinum groups in it since since I never had the stuff tested for them... too much of a pain in the ass to pan the stuff for it to be economically feasible to bother having it tested. But I digress... you are correct regarding the deposits being a better source of ore, it is what has historically been used.

all might fax in a few more years he will have gone all the way down the tech tree if he’s almost at the iron age already
how cool would it be if he legit did this iron shit a lot more and final made like a crude iron digging utensil and his productivity went way up until he eventually had a bunch of iron based tools
@@matthewanderson1916 At one point the government would step in though. I think they are cool with mud huts, but heavy industry iron smelting in the woods might be asking too much.

Oh god i just got recommended with this video, for one moment i was super excited thinking it was a new video!
Hope you are all right and safe, waiting for new videos!
Right, so you've left the Stone Age behind, skipping the Bronze Age entirely and going straight to iron. May I assume we'll see a working fusion reactor by this time next week?
Krawurxus And a Saturn V next mounth of course !
You guys are skipping important steps. We need a forest hand-crafted computer first! XD
Well, copper and tin are rare and either theres no ore in the area, or he is not allowed to mine it oor he simply cant with his tools, so the slime is his only source for any metal
Well actually, he went for iron straight because that's the only metal source around his area, he has no access to tin or copper ore.
Well, he already created a camera and a computer to make and post videos with

Badass man! No one will ever make the quality videos you do!
"Iron age!"
"What is next?"
"Isn't it iron pick?"
Let me explain a bit of what i think the chemistry is here. He created charcoal which is pure carbon, this reacts with iron oxide in a displacement reaction to form carbon dioxide and iron. Since Carbon dioxide is a gas it leaves the reaction leaving balls of iron (and other impurities in the original mix) in the balls! Cool hu!
2FeO + C -> CO2 + 2Fe
Wow, you must be fun at party's.
Good thing this isn't a party, and is instead an educational youtube channel.
Whoa thanks for the explanation
Brain explodes
That's correct. Normally in a bloomery furnace carbon monoxide is produced which then reacts with the ore. The way I did it was to mix solid carbon with the ore so it reacts directly with the ore. This is known as the carbon-ore method. Thanks.
That's a lot of work for a few iron nerds Bravo. Educational

hey primitive technology. my name is michael bakara. from Indonesia. I am very happy with all your videos. I have a request to you. please make a video processing of iron ore that has been obtained in the previous video. because I'm curious about how primitive technology creates an item or tool from iron using manual equipment. sorry if my language is a mess. it's because I only learn English in modest ways. Waiting for the video, bro. continued success for the "primitive technology" channel
100% of the internet is waiting on pins and needles for your next video because it's been awhile. We're assuming this means it'll be exponentially more epic than usual. Just to be safe: are you in danger? Blink once for "yes" and twice for "no".

Отличное видео ! Автор молодец ! . А то надоели блогеры , пудрящие мозги про богов - пришельцев давших людям космические технологии, которые были впоследствии утеряны. Тысяча лайков.
It is amazing that someone somehow figured out this might yield something useful with enough work. I can at least somewhat understand how they got copper. I am sure some people noticed that some rocks worked better for tools, so someone figured out that if you heat them up enough, you can get the copper out of it and make it even better for tools. Then bronze makes sense. Hey, we have this good tool metal, and this flimsy tool metal. I wounder what happens if we mix them. That was not good. Lets try mixing them in a different ratio. Oh, that makes a stronger tool. Iron though just takes so much work before you can even have a material you can make something from.
Jesse Sisolack it fascinates me as well. The time and effort required to try different combinations of stone, mud, vegetation just to come up with the formula for basic metals is awe inspiring.
i do not believe the way primitive tech guy is making iron is the way they made it back then.
The discovery of copper was from people finding Malachite (a rock rich in copper). the rock it's self isnt that good of a tool rock, and is actually rather crumbly. but due to it's abundance the chances of someone throwing it into a campfire is very high. after throwing it into a campfire over time they likely found small little "gold" beads which grabbed their interest due to the color, and they figured out is much harder than ordinary rock, and can be deformed/shaped easier the hotter it gets. this lead to them linking green rocks to copper, which they likely tried other similar colored rocks, and learned about metallic objects.
as for iron from what iv learned the world used to be covered in iron meteorites. they already had experience with copper/metals by this time so they knew basic metal working, and metallic looking objects grabbed their attention. this was the main source of iron in the bronze age, however meteorites arent too common, so people didnt have much of it. over time they likely started to notice that iron turns red when exposed to water, and started finding red colored rocks(such as hematite). so if green rock=copper, that must mean red rock=iron.
i am not expert on the subject but i spend a few hours reading stuff and watching random videos
Finding a meteorite, then figuring out iron can also be in rocks like copper is does sound like a plausible way they figured out where to find iron.
this is actually a way the vikings meltet iron ore which they found.
it is usually a process of a whole day labor for at least three people. especially the jettison of air into the foundry and the forging of the blossom is very exhausting.
Jesse Sisolack Which is why it took thousands of years till some guy figured it out.
His furnace sounds like a steam locomotive... Here comes the Iron age!
Choo choo!
The whole system Is doing the exact same thing as a steam engine, hes essentially made a firebox with a blower
QuebeC VR It's still missing the water to make steam and a way to enclosure the steam and use it's power... But yeah, kinda?
History always fascinated me thank you so much for letting me feel that I am in iron age I m from India lots of blessings from my land 🙏
congrats on getting in RUclips Rewind!
Forgive me for being a noob, but what can you do with the prills once they're finished? How would you bring all the tiny pieces together to form something useful?
Adding any charcoal to iron creates steel, or with too much carbon, pig iron.Only the smallest portion of steel is carbon, 0.25 percent Maximum, any higher and you end up with Pig Iron, however, Pig Iron can be diluted with Iron to make Steel. If you're trying to just make iron, make a small crucible out of clay, and seal in ore, and a small amount of Silica Sand to draw out the impurities. Cook the crucible for a few hours in the bottom of your charcoal pit, and you should get a lump of usable iron.
lel
0.25% of Carbon is on the low end for steel.
Most steel types have up to 0.8% carbon and everything up to about 2% carbon is still considered steel. Between 2 and 6.3% of carbon it's cast iron and above that it's probably just useless junk
His ash wood cement would make a good crucible?
These are debates at which a level I have no hope of understanding
Probably not worth the time to save up his own iron pellets enough to make something out of it but if he does it would really be neat to see the start to finish entire process of how some of our ancestors made their metal devices. I never even knew you could get iron through this method and just thought our ancestors had dug and found metal in the ground that they melted and reforged.
4:51 Am I super weird for getting hungry by seeing a large pile of charcoal?
Sadly yes
Nope
Jon yes u are yes u are...
Lets fire it up and then put some meat in there. Oh yes.
barbecue.... for when?
He was probably the first Pimitive Skills Channel to reach true Iron age not those ones which end up with a complete hammer in one episode.

8:20 glowing slag just dropped on his arm and he was like "eeh nothing happend" :D
😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
Lol
"It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll"
Imagine when archeologists go to some forest and find sth like this stuff he uses, they might think that they found artifacts from thousands of years ago but i't's just PT playing around
Żupan lol😂
Yeah
Considering how much carbon he put into that iron they should have no trouble carbon-dating it. Other trace radioactive elements should clearly indicate that it was produced after the development of atomic bombs
I think this is on his private land. Theyd have to get his permission to excavate on it.
carbon dating..
His yield would have been so much better if he had iron ore to work with instead of bacterial mud. Aren't there any places with hematite or magnetite in Australia?
Probably pretty hard to find without digging deep into the ground, something that would be easier to do with 50 people you know?
+Omelaniuk Lol fair enough. But still. It'd be really impressive to watch :)
Feynstein 100
A mining operation consisting entirely of 50 buff shirtless guys with wood tools?
Yeah, I bet that would get views.
tons of them, but they are mostly in the eastern part. the largest iron mines in the world are in Australia. He's in the wrong part. but he might have luck with iron sands.
I thought he lived in New Zealand
5:55 But what are the balls made of that are then put in the fire? And how much would it take to keep in the fire?
The pellets (balls) are a 1:1 mixture of crushed and ground up charcoal and dry iron bacteria. He mixed a handful of each ingredient together with some water.
And it took him 3 hours to smelt them all.
It'd be cool to see if you could do all this on a Pacific island! Love watching your videos man. Cool stuff.
how did he craft his camera
Ricky Spanish he carefully grew the most spectacular potato...
Ricky Spanish he uses some rocks, mud, scrap, charcoal etc.
He didnt he found it of some dead guy and decoded to make videos out of shits and gigles
@@MasterScar he took it from guy in this video?(thats fake, so keep calm) ruclips.net/video/VcBF3Y3fJL4/видео.html
@@humanisahuman5939 probably yeah
careful there buddy, you are smacking some 3rd degree burns!
Ayy
i was thinking that! cant make Neosporin out of dirty my guy.
I wanna see this dude forge something just by using his creations
Hololive fan!
He forged one of these 🖕
@@Freeknickers24 why you gotta be so toxic?
James is to self-conscious about himself that he has to make other people feel bad
maybe one day
There is probably no need to add charcoal at all to the iron, I would imagine since you straight up put the "ore" in to the fire, some carbon is absorbed to the metal from the environment around it at over 1500 degrees celcius. And I would imagine at this point in time there is no rush to get extremely hard metal. Just getting something easy to work with ferrite or perrite would probably be fine.
Also since it is so carbon-heavy metal, I would imagine it becomes martensite when you cool it down so fast. Which is tempered metal, very hard but brittle.
Check these out at wikipedia, they give better and more in-depth information than my poor memory from a class i attended half a year ago.

" they give better and more in-depth information than my poor memory from a class i attended half a year ago."
you recall what the name of the class is? i feel i have a decent understanding of iron and steel, however i am always interested in knowing more about it.
You want a cookie instin?
+Gray Wolf, I've had what sounds like a very similar class; at my university it was called Intro to Materials Engineering, and there's a large section of it that focuses on the iron-carbon phase diagram, the effects of heat treatment, and the various phases and microstructures of steel.
thanks for the reply. guess i may look up a class of that in the future. (or just do research on that general topic)
Yeah, it was exactly that.
Pat yourself on the back for being a brute, love watching the videos! Your soils seem very rich in clay.

HowToLive its not over yet. he just discovered the iron age
I mean, he doesn't have iron tools, so ...not yet.
(But he might still manage it his year. We'll see.)
теперь узнал, как раньше добывали руду, спасибо
Next episode go to the nether

quick question: why do you make a new firepit every episode? Isn't it easier to clean out the old one and reuse it?
He isn't using the best materials for it, so it doesn't last long, to build one that lasts requires more refining of materials, so it is more work in the end because it might only last 3 times longer.
In the old days it was a fact of life that things just wear out and you have to replace them. Your shoes would last a week, your stone tools would last an hour, your bed material had to be changed every week(where I live this meant hours of cutting pine or spruce boughs to make a 3 foot pile to sleep on).
coast2coast00 ah got ya. Thanks for the info
