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.

Destroyed a tax dodging village _and_ the kingdom that wants to collect taxes from them. Truly a chaotic neutral.
ok now build a house out of it
No smash test?

Mad respect. Bigger ridges on the sleuce or a mineral pan (gold pan) would probably be faster. Thank you for making this video.
how often do the Roof Leaves need to be replaced? Or is a native coating to be applied to help? Cheers John. ::: I just realized that this the Kiln hut .. the leaves have gone dry. I was sure you would spark them up lolz. Excellent out of order list LOLZ
a lot of work to make a small amount. How would you make enough cement a stone / rock chimney? Thank you for the knowledge and video. Blessings
Which came first? Iron or the roof tile?
have you ever considered making a trompe? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trompe
And they said Egyptians only used brass and copper ^^
him: "Tip: soak mold in water/wood ash solution so the clay slides out of the mold easily" me: *eating chips* oh i'll have to remember that
Can you make salt from wood ash???
When you make fires, why do you keep the bottom as plain dirt? Wouldn't it insulate the heat better if the bottom of the furnace was a brick or cement? Additionally, couldn't a bowl-shaped brick slab at the bottom of the furnace act as a good way to make sure the Iron slides together into bigger clumps?
I will continue to use your videos as amazing examples of the power of food security. Look how far you've come from early stone age in only a few years, because you got enough food from the modern world. Food security is the most important factor in advancing the quality of life in a civilization, period. Also, thank you for continuing to show off living examples of stone age and early bronze age tech, because people need to see this stuff. Especially engineering students.

Is his real John plant. He had a big following

I watch a lot and sure he made a few dollars off his channel. From the pants he wears To. The book he wrote. He. Is on a sandy beach. Drinking a. Lemonade. Great outdoor. Journey
this man eats patience for breakfast. respect
Can I ask why he still haven't made a permanent kiln? Like one made with fired brick and that wood ash mortar. I'd reckon that it would be more efficient for production given that it can trap more heat as well as force oxygen intake in one single place rather than all the little nook and cracks around the unsecured brick kiln. I know it might be because he doesn't want to leave too many permanent structures around, but his brick house kinda invalidates that.
Walked into an outdoor store in Japan today, and was surprised to see your book sitting on the shelf! Totally in Japanese. I was like “hey…I know this guy”. Had to take a pic of it.

I see you are almost ready to rebuild Tartaria.
Is it any kind of tree to burn it to ash? Thanks.
Tamahagane
Lost art for sure !
split wood thin for the blower fan blades, and use a tree branch, or sapling as a spring for a treadle setup.
Now this is real, compared to the fake KZread channels that don’t use supply’s from nature or work by themselve
Made a bow drill fire many years ago when I was younger when a friend and I were trying to learn wilderness survival. Took me more tries than I can count. Picking the right woods to use for the spindle and the base to make a proper fire ash to keeping the bow straight. Starting a fire using friction might look easy, but I can assure you, it's not. This fella has obviously practised this many times before the video was made. And I give him the credit he deserves. Not everyone would put this much effort into doing something like this. Great video! 👍
Hey i really like your content have you ever thought of going on the shiw survivor i think you would do great
But the question is, where did you get the rope/twine? From Amazon?
Guano collect the whole set. Hey man you're wierd.
This guy is amazing. He leads us through the course of history of humankind. As he stands on the brink of the Metal Age, his journey towards modernity just started. I guess he will build a hadron collider before leaving the Earth on a self-built space shuttle to begin terraforming Mars.
the king is back
Thank you so much for all you do! I love watching your videos! I feel safer learning from you for so many years. Two small notes on anealing that iron…..you might try covering your unfired clay mould (I.e. steam-leave a pinhole?). Second, what about a “slide out side shelf” to hold either the prills/bars/or raw ore in the large draft furnace? Just a couple of thoughts…PS…you help me keep going through our present.
Take care of your safety and health john, we love you
Dude never afraid of doomsday, be creating civilization in a second
Rae Dawn was much sexier when she did it.
he's so accustomed to making fire with sticks he nods his head the exact moment the fire tinder bursts into flames... love this guy
you can make a second driving stick and move them oppositely so the blower is spinning constantly
Maybe you can make a foot operated blower somehow
Waiting for a hammer

ASAP I'll send the hyperlink of this video to my sons (just in case they wanted to teach my grandsons). I myself made the decision to roof one side of my 🏠lands with those homey-made tiles. I don't want to be fooled, paying for a thing I can do alone.
Hello, Mr John Plant! You wrote a book, as a Theoric Thesis 📖 and, additionally, you've provided the MASTER degree 👨🎓 for millions of watchers who may learn just much more than a bit. Thank you, sir!
How long does the ash need to be fired the second time, inorder for it to work as cement?
This video slaps
Bah, all of this tomfoolery! Back in my day we used our **cough** **wheeeeze** lungs to blow on the fire, like nature intended!
ill be interested to see if you made an evaporation zeer pot and sat it just outside the air intake to assist with the evaporation. maybe you could get ice :D
fire and ice
Hi! This is the BEST Primitive Technology I ever saw. Thanks a lot!
