I'm testing a new brick kiln as this is the dry season and is the right weather for making bricks. I have no definite plans on what I'll build but know the bricks will come in handy later on. The new kiln design uses fewer bricks (74 instead of 100) and is simpler to construct so the viewer at home might be able to easily assemble. It can also be used for pottery.

Really makes you admire the process: seeing the pile of clay get bigger slowly (25 buckets), seeing every brick being formed (50 bricks), the pile of wood is stacked up and then slowly used for the kiln. A lot of work for just 50 bricks! Also great seeing the elements reused, the wood ash will become the mortar, the old bricks are the brick kiln, all the prep here like the hole can be used for more bricks. A slow process to create the new bigger hut that will enable him to do even more

I'm a machinist, and I tell anyone who will listen that everything, literally everything you interact with in the modern world is either made by machine tools, or made with tools that were themselves made by machine tools. Your videos are the perfect explanation of that. You literally have to go back to the dirt and stone to get anything that wasn't made by a machine. It never ceases to amaze me that all of our technological innovation has been built on top of the very things you are doing.

the modern world is a trillion bricks, a billion laborers, a bucketfull of christianity and a few drops of genius. all those vicars that invented the steam engine and that weirdo dude that made the first surface plate and a gun with hexagonal rifling? all that stuff was the product of sweaty hard labor producing basic necessities we need to live. the tech was just icing on the cake, up until the equation got flipped upside down and the technology started to produce everything, and quickly outstripped humans.

It does make you appreciate how much time it would take to make a full size shelter out of brick. He said that "little" brick kiln alone is 100 bricks?! But it also got me thinking two things: First, that having even just one other person would speed it up a lot, more than twice as fast, since you can pass the brick mold and the clay around and you don't have to spend time walking. Second, that as the kiln is firing, you can mold more bricks (taking breaks to stoke the kiln), so you can get a pipeline going that might start outputting bricks at a surprising rate. Those two things alone, even with primitive technology, might be considered "industrial." I don't think you need a lot of physical technology (tools, materials, etc.) to come up with improvements to a process that transform it to "industry". I wonder how long it took for the first industry to evolve? It could have predated agriculture even...

Part of this is actually caused by what clay IS. Not only are clay particles tiny, they're plate-shaped.

Recording him doing all fifty bricks...more real work we'll see than on other copycat channels!

He should have a second channel with unedited footage, I'm pretty sure people would like it as a background noise.

@@richardcunhacomedy Hm, you may be on to something here.

What this highlights is how humanity benefited from a shared workload within tribes and settlements. That was 3-4 days work for just 50 bricks, and whilst an impressive achievement, excludes the other activities for long term survival - hunting and gathering, shelter maintenance, food preparation and so on. With multiple people involved in different roles, sharing their work, the opportunity for humans to specialise in certain activities for the good of the community really stands out, when only PT is the one seen doing all the work.

I am a simple man. I see Primitive Tech video go up, I click.

Always a good day for Primitive Technology

i love how you keep it consistent to show where you keep getting stuff from, or show progress of doing things while being sped up instead of cutting the video. way too many fake primitive channels keep doing shady stuff between cuts... i know you've always included footage of you doing the stuff, i just wanted to point out and appreciate the effort you make

I love that "No excavators were harmed in the process" gag. I was laughing on the floor.

Благодарю за видео! Полезная информация, толковая лекция, интересные знания! Thank you for the video! Useful information, an intelligent lecture, interesting knowledge!

Love the new timelapse! Great touch! It shows us even more so how much work it takes

John looking shredded and killing it with the closed captioning jokes! This is what sets him apart from all the copycat channels out there. I love that he doesn't cut the video when starting friction fires, we get to see it from start > smoke > ember > flame. Most channels have people rubbing two sticks together for 10 seconds then boom - look a raging fire lol.

John, The subtle commentary in the cc is my favorite part, the brick foreman hilarious!

“No excavators were harmed in the making of this video” is the best side punch one can ever make!!!

I found your channel about ten years ago. I have never been disappointed. Thanks for the awesome content all these years.

@Anunoriginaljoke I found his channel in 2015 while taking an anthropology class. That makes this channel “about” 10 years old. No?

@anunoriginaljoke5870 8 is about 10 when speaking generally though, his statement makes sense

you know, it took me a few years to get that you use captions. that's just how mesmerizing your videos are- no explanation needed, but much more richer when they are added into the mix.

Always really impressed by your research and planning that goes unremarked in the videos, obviously as well as the clarity. Particularly liked the way you could see the bricks starting to progressively glow with heat higher and higher up the kiln. Bit of a concern, though: as you mentioned you're going into the dry season, you didn't clear the area around it of readily flammable material. Maybe just not a concern with that sort of tropical environment? I'll readily admit I'm more familiar with the temperate climes where that'd be unconscionable.

I believe he does these on a friend's property so I'm sure he takes due care - he seems a conscientious, patient, hardworking type that doesn't cut corners.

I could watch this man make fire every video every day. Just something so peaceful about it.

The legend returns! It's fascinating watching someone just working with their hands to create something from the earth like that.

5:15 lmao the "No excavators were harmed during the making of this video" subtitles targetting the fake ones watching his videos rn

从一开始就关注了你，你是最棒的。你复原的一些原始技术非常有说服力，在我的国家出土的一些文物完全能够证实你的技术是对的。以前的人类就是这么干的。他们在很久很久以前点燃了文明之火。

Thank you for the text description as well. Very informative near the end. Also, it's a great example of how metal tools got stuff done exponentially faster. No more burning a trunk for a day. Chop it in a couple of minutes with your sharp metal axe

"like with most problems, fire is the solution"

No matter how many years will pass I will watch your videos. So calming..

Your channel has spurred me throughout the years and my love for primitive survival has only grown! I attribute much of my fascination to these videos and we’re all thankful to have you still uploading for our enjoyment!!! Thank you forever for giving us a look into a simpler but also intricate way of life

There is something incredibly humbling about getting to see what our ancestors did to survive, and not only that but become the dominant species on the planet. Truly amazing.

This content makes my day, and the fact that I am pretty sure this is real shows that clearly, this man is very skilled and has a lot of experience, unlike the fake channels. Anyway, these videos are visual masterpieces. I really enjoy watching them.

I’ve loved your work from the beginning. You get more done in 13 minutes than many KZreadrs do in an hour

I love this channel not only because It teaches me how to make stuff in the forest from dirt and sticks, but also because our protagonist has beautiful muscles and is constantly in great poses. He would be an ideal figure art model

This reminds me of the story, my mother told me of her father Carroll Barbour helping to build a log cabin. They had very long poles to help raise the logs up to the top of the cabin wall. And one started to roll backwards on the men, and my grandfather helped by holding it up in the middle to keep it from crushing the men below. He was tall and very very strong if you’ve ever tried to hold up a whole log by yourself you’ll understand.
