About This Video:
I built a thatched shelter to make bricks in so that they are protected from the rain before they are fired. Despite it being the dry season, it still rains unpredictably in this climate. This can undo lots of labor in dissolving bricks. I built a shelter from wood and palm thatch to house the entire brick making process from the rain. This was no easy task with primitive technology. Leveling the ground took a week with digging sticks and clay pots to move the soil down the slope to form a flat floor. Another week was spent cutting the timber with a stone axe and then lashing the frame with lawyer cane to form the 3 x 3 pyramidal hut with a total height of 3.5 m. A final week was spent cutting, splitting and thatching a total of 1850 palm fronds to cover the roof.
I then made 50 bricks (enough for one firing) along one side of the huts floor and made a kiln from other bricks right in the center of the hut's floor under the highest point of the hut. A space for firewood was put in the corner.
Though I didn't fire the kiln in this video due to time constraints, it should work well without burning the roof. I've previously had a kiln under cover and it worked well. This pyramidal roof design should funnel the smoke up preserving the thatch from mold and insects. The reason I went back to using thatch instead of tiles is that I need bricks and tiles to make such a hut so this hut needs to be built before obtaining those materials.
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.

I've seen this man make and fire thousands of bricks and thatch dozens of roofs, but it just never gets boring. Every single video is a joy to watch, without a single word spoken. This is craftsmanship, art, entertainment, and education all in one. It's sad that the uploads are so rare, but the quality and effort put into each and every one of them is worth the wait.
I feel like he physically can't make the uploads any more frequent. It already takes him a week just to thatch the hut, let alone gather the materials and also build everything else. Last I checked, this man also has a full time job
Sike, this is his full time job
he’s our Dude, for sure
Not for me. Im getting bord of seeing the same stuff over and over. Like.. make a brick workshop with tiled roof. or even try and make metal tools at least. I love to see him make wooden planks and build stuff like that.... EVEN a compact dirt house
@@_K0RN_ Make your own channel then. This guy is soloing early humanity and you want him to fast forward getting brick tech ironed out so that you won't be bored? I will watch you with equal amazement as you have massive issues getting half decent iron ore out of bacteria. Or better yet, open your own solo mine to get raw ore.
This hut should now allow for the making of bricks regardless of weather conditions. I had a larger thatched workshop for making bricks 2 years ago but the thatch rots quickly here. My idea is to get enough bricks and tiles to make a permanent workshop, possibly a larger more open version of the small brick hut so that my ability to produce pottery, bricks and cement won't depend on wood and thatch. Another note is that a smaller hut might be used for this purpose but the kiln would have had to go outside, which might interrupt the firing schedule (can only fire when there's no rain).
DADDY'S BACK WITH ANOTHER INFORMATIONAL VIDEO!
REJOICE!
What about a thatch chimney / roof to direct the water from over your open flame? Is it due to the overly large opening of your firing kiln?
@@VanersianGovernment Good luck, hard to learn skills but worth while. Thanks.
@@BxBxProductions Thanks Son.
Would you ever build a tree house?
Often imitated, never duplicated. Excellent work as always.
It's a shame that those fake BS pool building channels get more attention than this guy
@@supraguy4694 agreed.
Don't forget to turn on video captions to read about what he's doing. Seriously. He takes the time to write details about his building process in those captions. It's neat.
Didn't know that, thanks for sharing
@@derekt3923 You're welcome.
It says no captions available on this video 😢
@@snorman1911 It works for me.
@@RustyNickels Thanks, I tried on a different device and they are available. Not sure what happened.
The "cutting and splitting 1850 palm fronds" part makes you appreciate the importance of being social animals and having a village helping each other with this. Credit for your hard work and patience!
My thoughts exactly. It is very impressive how much a single man can do with his two hands and materials found in the wild. But imagine if it were two people working together.
I mean, I know it is the point of this channel to do everything alone. But it does make you think.
@@elFulberto and this is why he goes months between videos. Quality over quantity
@@jasonhildebrand1574 sure thing. Best frond splitting on RUclips, we expect nothing less.
and takes a week to get all of the fronds lashed into position. just crazy
I've been watching this channel since you posted your first video, and always wondered how much time it took to complete your projects. The timelapse in this installment should also put to rest the naysayers who might think there is a crew or heavy equipment involved.
the new timelapses are really nice, they give a much better sense of just how much labor is involved
Another youtuber had a video calling out some other fake primitive technology-esque videos where it was clear the guys used all manner of modern machinery like backhoes and cement mixers to fake videos like this: ruclips.net/video/Hvk63LADbFc/видео.html He corresponds with the PT guy in the video about his process and his frustrations with the faked videos. I wonder if Mr PT is trying to show more definitively that "no no... I really do all this stuff by myself with my bare hands."
@@Matt-wc2mf Yeah, its amazing how much damage those other channels do to the places they are building in. They use heavy equipment, whole crews, and pour concrete. Those are going to be there for a long time, and you know the bastards are never going to clean it up.
**C H I C K E N**
And how much exercise that bird is getting
@NavyDood21 You're correct, someone has found some of their old abandoned places, and are completely trashed. Smh
Always a pleasure to see more soothing yet valuable content from you.
Glad you like the content. Much appreciated.
u know that everything is staged ? :D
@@Gremo93 know that no one loves you?
And that your incorrect…
@@Gremo93 im glad to see someone that knows what there doing
@@Gremo93actually its not staged, this is a rare channel that is real and its confirmed, btw 99% of this type od chanels are staged but not this one 😊
This dude really made his own scaffolding and then turned it into a roof. I will never say that I'm brilliant ever again. This dude takes the cake. Well done, sir.
Awww, you made a jungle bird friend 😊
I love how thorough this guy is - he doesn't just build impressive things to show off on RUclips, he takes the time to hand-build workspaces to engage in his craft. A true RUclips legend!
Exactly what I thought just a few minutes in. I asked myself what would it take to get me this motivated, the answer was “A dry space when you need one IS the most important thing in the world”
aint seen no truer words on youtube or even the whole damn internet for that matter in a dang ol long time my mans, john plant is the pinnacle of quality, knowledge, hard work and just good ol honest hustle grind station
Along with zero annoying intros, sponsors, etc. One of the best channels of all time.
I'd say he's simply a legend, with or without the RUclips.
The problem with most indian/korean/whatever copycat channels is that they're "fake" anyway. A lot of them don't go into the forest or anything. They buy a piece of land near a city/town, build the structures using heavy machinery off camera, and usually have a team of 5+ opposed to the 2~3 you see in the video. Even the water either gets brought in with tankers or drawn from a water system, opposed to the creeks and the like they show in the video. Plus they often use plaster bought in a store. And after the projects are done they often just get abandoned on the property, empty plaster bags and the like included.
This guy is legit. As he shows in his videos. Sure he's not doing survival, but this is about ancient building techniques not about survival. :P And if you also like primitive survival stuff I can recommend Chad Zuber. (Most chad name ever. xD) He does primitive/bare minimum survival vlogs.
It makes me happy to see you enjoying and improving this awesome hobby even after 8 years on RUclips. Thanks for making these videos
It would be awesome to see a tour around the forest. Seeing the locations of the previous builds, the position of the house etc. I wish we'll get an overlay walkthrough or a map of the territory😄😄
If i remember well it's his property in north of Queensland Australia, and i think he won't do any tour there to keep the place safe, if anyone recognizes it by any surrounding landscape then his hobby and crafts would be in danger, not everyone is fond of him or his hobby.
@@weebanimefan7760 oh that's understandable
It’s difficult to express in words how pumped I get when a new Primitive Technology video drops.
Totally with you on that, i have favourite youtubers but this guy comes first!
Very?
Too bad he's doing the same thing he's done half a dozen times before.
So many people here salty that it takes time. He’s been doing new stuff, working on metal and such. This is all part of the process to do so. It took humans thousands of years to figure this stuff out initially, and many thousands more to actually develop proficiency. He’s one man and already made a metal knife, and developing better smelting processes for future projects.
Be patient and let him work. Or go out and do it yourself, link me the vids when you post em, I’d love more genuine primitive survival content!
@@Kleavers He's evolving his technique, if you ever found yourself in a position where you had to live off the land and wanted to thrive im sure you'd be thanking him then.
I'm really enjoying the timelapses you're including now, especially that little detail of still including the natural sounds of the rainforest over the top
I like the timelapses too, the problem is he's too close to the mic while recording those audio clips and it's confusing where the extra audio noise is coming from which is distracting from the video. If he could record the same audio while he's at least 30 feet from the mic it could be much less distracting?
This is fairly new compared to his older videos and I have a hunch that it's to prove to the naysayers that he did all the labour manually rather than cheating off camera and have a team of helpers build it with him.
8:49 the time laps of him vanishing quickly into the forest only to spring back out and up the ladder with more lol
Stepping on the wild ground without shoes must be painful. Respect to his dedication and effort!
Just the fact that the thatching took a week shows you how much effort he puts into it. That's a lot of materials!
Dude has put multiple months/years into these type of projects!
Yes, but sadly no final count on that thatching. ;-)
@@DreadX10Check the description.
John Plant is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will
@@DreadX10 always turn on the cc when your watching John videos.
For those of you who haven't been watching this channel for long, he made every implement he uses. He didn't make his clothes. Other than that, he made it from scratch. Including that brick house. Pretty amazing stuff. This one is nice because it has a relatively easy hut build and brick making. Highly recommend watching them all if you enjoy. Oh and watch with CC on!
To add to this for new viewers, try watching with captions on where he explains his process. It completely changes the experience.
He did make those shorts in one video, can't imagine they were too comfortable to work in though.
@@ecapsdira I don't know why doesn't add captions to the video, or at least leave a note saying to turn on CC. It really enhances the experience, but no sane person would think to turn on captions for a video with no dialogue.
The camera he made with some clay and an eye of a turkey, and he uploaded the footage on his abacus made of sticks and drop bear droppings.
He made the tools himself, even the stone axe.
Ein "Baumeister" der Spitzenklasse⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Und noch im verbund mit der Natur. Einfach Genial. Meinen höchsten Respekt 👍
I like how that bird seems to check in on you and your progress periodically now.
Catching a new PT video within the first minute? Life feels good.
Yeahh me too
Good to feel good
@@jakubtokarski5531wv.
I work as a stone mason producing masonry heaters. It would be interesting to see a heater with multiple draft channels and efficient heat distribution in the wild. It’s possible to let smoke around enclosed oven areas, so that you can cook or boil water without needing to expose pots or food to direct flame. I have some designs that could be built out of one size of brick, which seem to be possible to create in the bush. Very cool work!
Make a RUclips channel and build it.
I'll watch it.
There are various obvious improvements to his endeavors with ceramic, from simply adopting another single
oof tile design, to putting holes in his bricks to save on material and drying time, as well as obviously being easier to transport and allowing for better structures when used with mortar.
I think he likes to do his own research and have his own "evolutionary" process, and not just do things because it's how they are done.
Which makes me respect him even more and makes the videos extremely interesting.
@@trikstari7687Yeah me too!
@@rrs_13 this is true and interesting. It does seem like he does plenty of historical research about different methods, based on the smelting videos. Holes in bricks works well for building bricks, but these seem to be used as fire brick and would be laid on their side as shown in the video. Holes wouldn’t work well for that, but would be great for mass production of adobe or mud bricks.
@@dakota9809 I agree making holes in the bricks would add extra complexity for an already laborious handmade process (at the same time, in for a penny in for a pound), but you're just thinking of one type of hollowed brick. Whilst width wise holes would be laid on their face and thus requiring more bricks for the same height, their only pro's in this situation would be added stability due to a larger base and mortar adhesion. Holes lengthwise would have all the benefits I mentioned with the only cons being the added steps in molding them. And maybe I need to do this manually myself to properly say what I'm about to say, but I believe it would not be that hard of a step to implement.
The holes also prevent cracking due to more homogeneous humidity and temperature during the drying and firing processes, and allow for better kiln drafts (depending on the type of holes made and how the bricks are laid in the kiln).
Anyway, I do enjoy his approach to recreating things, both trying traditional and unorthodox methods. It shows that while we don't need to reinvent everything, sometimes it's good to discard conventions and try the approach you think will yield the results you want. It also makes for very entertaining stuff seeing a guy with stone tools having more knowledge and doing better mortar\cement than people did up for almost all of human existence.
I absolutely love these slightly longer videos with more information and time lapses! Keep up the good work!
Important thing. Turn on subtitles it helps a lot because he talks through them like explaining every single step
The amount of patience, dedication, and determination that goes into this is astounding.
Yes
The thatch roofing time lapse gave me serious spider weaving a web vibes with how methodical and procedural it was.
Time lapse is a fun reminder that even tho we get to see this guy's great creations in minutes, a lot of work goes into it over time
Bot
I’ve been watching these videos when they first came out and I was pretty little I’m 14 now but I remember when I would try and make the bows but fail every time and then I tried making that one furnace with the holes through a circular piece of clay but I made it with mud and sun baked it on a concrete slab so that didn’t go well it cracked and fell apart but I did make a bola with some rope from Home Depot and weaved it together
Thank you for teaching all these things.
I’m so glad that your still making these videos
Shows just how much of the work anyone does is preparation. Painting a house, less than a quarter of your time is actually spent putting paint on the walls. Sanding, cleaning, hole filling, etc, all these other things that aren't called painting but are absolutely necessary for the work to be worthwhile.
Soooo much effort put into making shelter, clay pit, gathering clay, water, mixing, blah, actually making the bricks takes hardly any time. Makes me rethink the value of basically everything manmade.
I'm sure others will say it but, the timelapses are a really, really cool addition! The jump cuts are nice when showing general narrative building moments, but I like how the timelapses show more detail in the tedious things, like installing the thatching. You actually get to see the whole build take shape. Thanks for all your hard work in showing us your awesome creative skills! Keep up the great work and God bless!
I just really miss the ambient sounds during the timelapses. Would be cool to just put an audiotrack.
No, I dislike the time lapses. I don't want/need to see the whole process, but rather the first few iterations of a repeating action
To me it comes across more that he put in a timelapse just to prove it's really allllll the massive manual labor. Not what the fake idiots produce trying to copy him. I do like the timelapses, but he really doesn't have to prove anything. We all know he is real effing thing!
@@SanDer-eu7sb He doesn't need to prove anything, but his fans might want to prove something to his doubters, because they like his content so much. Him providing the time lapses helps his fans do that.
I do really enjoy the addition of timelapses with cuts, they show how much of hard work and time consuming some of those tasks are. The cuts are long enough to show the process but dont overstay their welcome. This channel not only does some of the most unique and interesting content on youtube but the editing and the shots improved quite a bit over the years. Thank you for the great content Mr Plant.
Yes. Timelapses is thing you will not see on the other copycat fake channels where dudes preasumably are diging palace basements and swimming pools with stick.
Disagree. The timelapses are a lot more immersion breaking than the jump cuts
I became a scout master for my local Boy Scouts troop and started having them make adobe bricks so we can build a shelter over the summer. Keeps them busy while giving them an appreciation for modern conveniences and technology
Another great video. I really loved how it ended with just the gentle sound of forest rain. You should consider doing a 10 or 12 hour video of being in the brick hut with the fire burning while it rains outside, just for ambience. I bet many lovers of this channel would relish the experience.
I would!
I like the Timelapse shots you have been using recently. Really puts into perspective how much work goes into these projects, unlike other scam “ 8:06 survival” channels that have massive jump cuts where they obviously used an excavator
Thank you very much for all the teachings, all your videos are invaluable.
Greetings from Argentina!
Thanks for the recognition and donation, I'll keep them coming.
Imagine how masterfully skilled and efficient our ancestors must have become at doing these tasks.
Been watching since like 2016. The editing has gotten really really good. You are a man of both primitive and modern technology. I will say though i would definitrly watch 16 hours of raw footage.
That could be a cool addition, the same video but with no timelapse?
It's not my thing but I know some who just keeps such videos in the background, kind of like having a fire going to sometimes get lost in
That should be a patreon thing
Some simple diagonal braces within the frame on 2 opposing sides would drastically increase the lateral stiffness of the structure. Once again great video, thanks!
Was thinking the same when he was adjusting the roof cap.
yeah that swaying had me worried for the next storm
@@vanoscrap6296 next big storm probably won't hit until December from what I've read
That’s the one thing I was concerned about. It would be a terrible shame to have that structure twist and fall over.
Love hearing the kookaburras in the background. I miss those so much now I live overseas.
This is by far my favorite channel on RUclips. Hands down.
what really interests me is how much (less) time this would take if he were not just one guy but had a group to help him with construction - splitting up workload, doing tasks simultaneously, all that jazz. people who used to and still live in these conditions are usually not alone, they have their families or a whole village to help them. incredible stuff.
And most of the work is parrallelizable. A group of people would be very efficient.
I grew up with a group that used thatched roofed shelters very similar to these. When you have a group, one could go up in a weekend!
Lots of the tasks look quite easy to parallelize. A group of people could probably build a simple hut or shelter like that in a few days (or less).
his legal niece could be an excavator.
I've witnessed a single room round thatched hut with bed platform get built in a weekend in Papua New Guinea.
A young couple were married and the whole community got together and built it. Maybe 25 adults.
It is a simple way to live but i was amazed that 30yr+ mortgages are common in Australia where i live but this couple had their home with no debt from the day they were wed.
It's great to see/read the timescales of the things you do. It lets you appreciate the time and effort that go into these projects even more.
i would love to get a day time approximate timestamp for the whole thing, like the gathering took 8 hours, the tying took approximately a minute per corner, etc. more workload for you in a video, but a way to show that yes, you got to see these things, but you also didn't have to see me do this for 6 hours, and this for 8 hours, and this for 2 hours.
"
I enjoyed the brevity of the jumpcut in his older videos, the satisfaction of watching him create something 1 time and then snapping forward to see 50 products. But there is a deeper appreciation in watching a timelapse of the whole process.
It sobers you up to watch a thatch roof being built over weeks, and realizing just how much early civilizations had to overcome, and how dearly precious these tools and resources were to them.
I audibly gasped when it said that you took a week to thatch the house. It's crazy seeing how long it takes these projects. I patiently await each new video!
I just binge watched your whole channel in one week in chronological order. It's so fascinating to watch you progress, starting from scratch to now reaching metallurgy. So excited to see you finally work a forge (hopefully).
I still want to see more agriculture though. And possibly a rain water harvesting system.
You could try damming up the creek with a beaver dam (should be very easy to build with fallen tree logs and sticks) to cultivate prawn or fish, and collect sedimented ore like you did in one of the earlier videos.
Waiting and excited for new uploads! Hope you're well! ❤
Nothing more relaxing after a long day of tedious, hard, manual work than watching someone else do a lot of tedious, hard, manual work. Also, thanks for giving some love to my personal favorite simple tool, the long poking stick.
Isn’t that the truth!
The fascinating thing about this is, it's really like a window to how ancient civilizations & human evolution came to be. Everyone wonders about how so many things in the ancient world were built...even though this is no Giza, it helps to give us the best understanding as to how many structures, monuments, castles, temples etc. were built & the process involved. Making 51 brick by hand in a half hour is quite a feat! At that rate you could build a small brick house in 2-3 weeks. It truly helps us to appreciate the human path...this is the technology that matters, the bedrock of early civilization; not our smartphones & Teslas.
I couldn't agree with you more . And the modern schism of dismantling history to make it more palatable is not helping . Power to your elbow . 👍🇬🇧
love the flex of the time lapses. you're assured we'll still watch and enjoy, and you're making very plain that you DO, EVERYTHING
Thank you so much for what you are doing! I am so impressed and inspired. I live in the tropics in south america in a community on the countryside/jungle and already years ago I attempted to make the sandals you made in another video (with partial success, vine species are different here, found some decent ones, but possibly could find better). Recently I finally made progress on my goal of making a clay pot for cooking over a fire, reducing dependency on our gas stove. I found some good clay from the stream bank, made a simple plate and fired it with success! Next step is to gather enough clay to make a big pot. We'll see how that goes. Thanks again, I love your channel.
My favorite channel on RUclips. If you're at all considering buying his book, DO IT. It's amazing and will undoubtedly be a collectors item in a decade or so.
The incorporation of a little bit of fast fowarded sections is working really well. I am glad that you don't go overboard with them and just use them sparingly. While they give a nice overview over some processes, I think too much of them would take away from the rest of the video. You are getting a good balance with them.
Incrível parabens pelo trabalho. Grande abraço Brasil
Loving the new time-lapse thing you are doing, keep up the good work
Always were waiting for those
with ambient background forest noise too is such a good touch
Now its harder for ppl to comment FAKE! since they can see wats actually going on
Did you notice that you could see some of the plants moving and growing during the time-lapse? I loved that! ♥
Whenever I watch your videos, I watch them without subtitles and just watch in amazement of what you are doing, then I turn on subs and watch it again to learn what you are actually doing.
after all these years I still watch every single one of your videos
That textured ceiling looks soo much better than some white drywall.
Love the work you are doing, the progression is mesmerising
I've had an extraordinarily rough night and this is exactly what i needed to calm myself down and feel a little more normal. Thank you, John.
This guy is the OG, many other channels have imitated and even faked what he does but he was doing it first and always keeps it real.
So much work. Very impressive.
Love your work John.
Used your kiln design from the last video to start creating some handfired bricks for my family up at their property, despite it being 6 degrees celsius on average down here in Vic I managed to get them dry enough and build up 80 bricks. Certainly won't be letting that woodash go to waste either.
involve the kids. they will like it
I have a baby, and I'm waiting for him to grow up to involve him. For now, he plays with mud and explore the environment freely. I think these things are definitive.
The amount of effort that goes into making a single brick is insane. Im so astounded by your work ethic, even if its a labour of love.
Your channel is a faithful representation of paleolithic living and should be required viewing for every anthropology student in the world.
I couldn't imagine how many blisters this guy gets.
I was so enthralled that I forgot the CC's until the 12 min mark.
Brilliant as always, John.
Aside from learning and enjoying the whole process, I am reminded every time through your videos that with enough will, hard work and patience, we can accomplish so many things we set our minds to.
Loved the Timelapse
the contrast between the amount of work put in to get the poles deep enough into the ground to just so (barely) offer enough triangulation to hold the hut's frame "in shape" versus the actual dynamic stability of the tripod ladder is amazing. i'd love to share some of what I learned from Bucky Fuller's Synergetics with you as it would most certainly be very useful knowledge for what you do.
knowing what a triangle actually is and how it does what it does is clearly not common knowledge, thanks plato...
This channel will thrive as long as the river has more clay
It always amazes me human ingenuity, especially this sort of technology used before even basic materials were common, like metal tools.
Especially the roof to the hut. How the triangular structure is _not only_ the center supporting shaft, but _also_ a stepladder to help you secure the knots on the frames!
Wow. I love how you made a simple ladder to get up higher more easily, that’s genius.
The time lapse segments are so awesome. Such good work put into this. That said, wouldn't a sudden windstorm just blow the frames over and destroy the hut? Maybe there aren't really windstorms in thick forest biomes, but I'm not sure.
I thought the same thing. Saw the swaying during thatching and was waiting for wall supports to be put in
There's a video on his channel a few years ago where all his shit got rocked
I don't remember which one it was tho
You can't imagine the effect your videos have on me. They calm, decelerate and give me the feeling of security. I hope there will be a whole documentary about your work someday and I hope it will be 2 or more hours long. Stay healthy and thank you for your efforts!
I love it when RUclips doesn't notify me when Primitive technology uploads I love it when I miss an upload by 2 days
I loved the bush chook just wandering through and checking out what he was doing
Thanks for all of the long, hard, tedious projects you do for our enjoyment. You do amazing things with so few resources.
Seem like those slender corner columns would be a lot safer with some diagonal bracing. I really enjoy watching your work.
Man I spent probably 3 years watching your videos before I discovered you had captions explaining what exactly you were doing...without you ever talking in a single video I just never thought to put the captions on
"John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will"
I’m always bricked up for new primitive technology videos
I have the utmost respect for this man, the dedication he has and the fact that he shares his knowledge with the world. What a legend.
That bird did not give a single frick😂
Super impressed the posts didn't give under the weight of all those leaves.
I swear I've seen this man fire pottery, roof tiles and bricks at least 200 times by now.
Yeah starting to get real old.
I respect the fact you've been doing YT for 8 years, still have fun and doesnt look like you're gonna retire anytime soon
I can't imagine a better lifestyle ! This is literally the life we all dream of ! Playing in the forest like a kid ( albeit one on a serious mission ) and getting paid very well doing so !
I am amazed at the hardness of this man. If I had to break one plant I would have a sore hand. He is a machine.
Calluses. I'm amazed he does it all barefoot, especially knowing Australian wildlife.
been watching you for 8 years now man
i hope this never ends
Oh brother, this is going to be a great shelter. I have admired your skills for quite a number of years now. There are some copycat channels heavily influenced by you. Take comfort in the fact that you are the root of this tree that sprung up on RUclips. Keep up the amazing work! We'll be watching! Cheers!
Really like the Timelapses! good work
Today i have made some bricks here in my yard, i see now the amount of work i takes to deal with clay. There's honor on doing what you do
Always a treat when a new video drops! Thanks for the content!
You’re the only creator I got notifications turned on for❤
Ayo
After all these years, this is still my favorite channel.
Incrível como tu domina esse trabalho!. Incrível parabens pelo trabalho. Grande abraço Brasil.
This guy brings a quiet moment of zen every once in a while. Thanks for the video, my man!
Love the new editing, now we know how long it takes and how hard it is to build something with primitive technology
I love that the wildlife isn't scared of you. The turkey has accepted you as just another inhabitant of the jungle
The turkey just passing by while hes digging 😂
I’ve been watching him for a few years - keeping it simple but building amazing structures. Always wanted to see this on tv as a full series. Glad to see him back again 😊
This design feels so much more sophisticated than previous thatched roof designs done here.
It's gonna be exciting to see what this advanced workshop looks like. I wonder if it will be the first design that actually has multiple rooms
Really nailed that Age of Empires 1 villager look here with the blue shorts
As a special treat for die-hard fans ... would you consider posting one FULL-LENGTH video of one of these projects? Like this one, but with the time-lapsed parts not (or partly not) lapsed. I understand that I am talking about a two or three hour video (well, 20 hrs, but YT probably won´t let you do that), but I swear, I would watch it with joy!
