Finally Beginning to Build the Primitive Adobe Hut (episode 27)

After what seems a very long time, I finally have enough bricks to begin building the Primitive, but new and better, adobe Hut. Building a nice home begins with laying the first brick. The new adobe Hut will be a HUGE improvement and I am really looking forward to when it is finished. I will show you all the details of how I build this new adobe Hut as well as other bushcraft and survival skills along the way. This series will be ongoing so be sure to stay tuned for the next video.

My equipment:
Camera: Nikon D7500 and GoPro Hero7 Black
Sound: Zoom H6
Editing: Final Cut Pro X on MacBook Air
Location: Parts Unknown
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Who films you?
Me. I travel alone, shoot, edit, upload, everything, all alone. On a few occasions I may be accompanied by a friend, but that has been very rare.
How many cameras do you use?
Usually I use just one camera. When I have underwater scenes then I also use a GoPro camera. I get different angles by moving the camera around and repeating the action to create a more cinematic viewing experience for the audience.
Where is this place?
In order to protect the integrity of the natural landscape I prefer to be very vague about the locations I use. There are places that I used to visit that were so beautiful and untouched but the consequences of social media brought all kinds of people to visit and sadly some people do not respect nature and have badly damaged these places. Therefore I do not share locations.
Where did you get your sandals?
I first started wearing sandals on outdoor adventures in February 2014. I’m so glad that I did because wearing these Luna Sandals has really helped strengthen my feet. You can see their selection of adventure and running sandals at this link: www.lunasandal...

Do you workout?
Yes, I workout, but not in a gym. I have some weights that I use and also do a lot of bodyweight exercises. I also run and sometimes swim. I hike frequently to collect wild foods and to shoot these videos so I'm very active all the time.
Are you vegan or vegetarian?
I wish I could maintain my health on a primal diet that does not include animals but unfortunately that did not work well and I ended up with health problems as a result of those attempts. From my studies, observations of nature, and personal experience I have come to believe that the best diet for optimal human health is a primal diet (paleo).
Do you get lonely when you’re alone?
No, I don’t get lonely. I’m actually so busy shooting video, taking photos and doing so many other things like making cordage, cooking, weaving, etc. that I really don’t have time to think about my lonely condition. Sometimes when something profound happens on an adventure I can’t wait to share it with people, but other than that I do not get lonely.
How many languages do you speak?
My first language is English but I also speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese. I also speak very little Russian. I may soon begin learning more languages.
How old are you?
I was born in 1972. At the time of this video I was 49.
Where did you get the music in your videos?
This series is the first one that I am making all the music myself. I recently made a drum and maracas (rumba shaker). I am now using them to create the intro and ending music in my videos, but before in the past I have used royalty free music from several sources including KZbin. Sometimes I bought the music but usually it was free.

Building is about getting around the obstacles that are presented to you. You can dream, create, design, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it requires people to make the dream a reality. Thank you for making people's dream a reality. Love from Korea🇰🇷💕

It was so exciting to see the first brick laid for the new hut. A very momentous time, you have spent so much time and effort to reach this point. Congratulations!!!’ The foundation of your new home looks very strong. Good idea to keep your old hut until you can have some shelter in its stead. It is amazing what energy and focus happen when finally starting a new project. It is exciting. Looking forward to the build and also to the new weaving projects. The cordage itself is beautiful. Good to see the new pottery being used. It looked nice! Things are finally starting to come together so you can accomplish this task, creating a new home. It will be beautiful!
