Growing bananas, herding fish, the daily life of Primitive Skills (ep181)

[@PrimitiveSkillsnet]

Hello everyone! We haven't seen each other for 3 weeks. Is everyone okay? Is the job favorable?

[@BossPapegoja]

I am okay, thank you for asking

[@zirzmokealot4600]

Lots of rain where I'm at. Gardens are good! Can't complain

[@Jordan-ws6jy]

All is well here in Tonga 🇹🇴

[@matsubarapaulo9106]

we’re all just glad that you’re still making videos we all support Your future videos not only for content but educational and satisfying

[@maddmitten]

so happy to see you back i have missed you.

[@Gatsmask_FGC]

Could you imagine if this dude had like 10 neighbors doing basically the same thing and what kind of economy they could set up? Like this dude is doing most of the work but if he had a neighbor selling IDK plants or tools and a neighbor selling pottery or weavings an a neighbor with animals and so on and so forth they could basically do what the first civilizations did and become ultra successful

[@MulbahKollie1114]

Bro this is literally how to make a civilization 101

[@venvengeance549]

And one day someone says the price isn't fair for something to one of their neighbors and they agree with it him and then sides are taken, and now war is also created.

[@luxcroatianbeatboxer7658]

So they can eventually retaliate against and start all over ... we all know how things work .. peace no longer exists

[@Gatsmask_FGC]

@@venvengeance549 just create competition in the market

[@mrman3196]

Yes i can imagine it and its going to be a poor one. 😔 I used to volunteer in unicef in simillar villages as you mentioned and the conditions are not too good. Its one thing to see it on y.t. but living this kind of life is not that great. But this is a awesome channel though.

[@gerryh49]

I do enjoy seeing the evolution of you homestead. Such as evolving from simple rice paddies to a fish pond with floating rice paddies. Keep up the great.

[@InDeathOnlyNothing]

Peanuts, Cashews, and Sunflower seeds grow well in the tropics too if you can get your hands on any of those seeds. Those and some kind of Beans and you'll be well nourished out there along having the bananas, rice and corn. Coffee beans grow well out there too so you might want to grow them along with another kind of bean plant.

[@Tamtam0021]

I appreciate the hard work. This man is really doing what he loves. His patience and consistency is just beyond🍻

[@alteredexistence4115]

Great video as always...but why not making clay tiles. You already have the knowledge from your pottery and firing kiln, and the clay tiles I would assume would be less time consuming and labor intensive than wood slats.

[@vasiliterkin9842]

+Успехов вам желаю. Вы же делали посуду из глины путём её обжига. Поэтому может быть вам было бы проще сделать черепицу для крыши из глины. И прослужила бы она вам дольше чем деревянная)

[@reymartmartinez2412]

Expand your farm and create more pin for wild bores or chicken for sustainable foods, also expand your rice and corn fields so that you dont have to worry in an empty stomach, make your house concrete and build a sustainable home

[@mastrostrom5383]

I enjoy these videos of yours immensely, I could seriously watch you do even more menial tasks e.g. sharpening the knife, longer takes of the fishes feeding and starting the fires for cooking/forging/etc... including loads more that is edited out.

[@Brabbit1974]

Excellent video! Yes the knife if legendary, but that automatic bellows is beyond legendary! Looks like a lot of things are starting to wear out, good thing you built it all so repairs will be easier than make again from scratch. Thank you for sharing =)

[@maryhumphrey9105]

You sir are an interesting man. I would say this is only one side of you that we are allowed to see. My oldest son has a stainless business. He says it is not about the money but rather my dream. He works 80 to 100 hours a week. I imagine for you it is much the same. You are truly inspiring. Everyone has three thing, this is definitely yours. Blessings.

[@buildgreenlife1997]

Hello everyone who watches the channel of primitive skills, have a good day, stay young, and have good health

[@Tomciosz94]

In my opinion you should focus on ceramic clay roof, than roof from wooden planks.

[@kr1gas]

make sure you char your planks for the roof, otherwise you will be replacing it again.

[@user-ly9ql3bc1f]

I see a lot if comments about terracotta tiles. Why not bamboo tiles? True, they're not fireproof but should be easier to make. I'm very curious how you made your second hammer and how the floating rice production went. You are very inspirational

[@lhartatt]

Next: lime, lemon, orange, quava, and, most of all, mango trees.

[@Adahyusumi]

You should burn one side of plank for long resistance or just make clay tile for roof :)

[@AdilsonReane]

Olá! Estava aqui lembrando quando você começou embaixo daquela rocha, com ferramenta de pedra, e ver hoje, tudo o que construiu, tudo o que transformou no seu ambiente, acho fantástico seu esforço e sua dedicação. Parabéns por seu trabalho que merece nossa total admiração! Adilson from Brazil.

[@notthesamagain]

Kkkkkkkkkkk vc acha que ele realmente vive no meio do mato e tudo que ele tem é só construindo e caçando diariamente? Ele tem o conhecimento e ensina aqui, mas o cara não vive disso! Ou vc acha que a câmera que filma ele é construída com folhas de bananeira e a internet que ele usa pra postar chega através de uma antena feita de bambú? Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk as pessoas não são capazes de assistir nem mesmo um vídeo como esse e ponderar para compreender que é uma produção e não um "flagrante da vida real"

[@kaflynn1225]

I love watching these videos. Very relaxing to watch and to imagine when our ancestors actually had to live this way. I can imagine the days when he will teach his children this beautiful craft.

[@claritacapulong9748]

your fish pond is very successful there's alot of big fish and fingerlings and now you expand your farm you're a man full of talents and skills and most of all you're a patience man that's why we always love and exicited to follow all your video take care!

[@munchkin5674]

Whewwww! Seeing all those sparks flying up to the underside of your shelter where you are forging makes you fear they will set the roof on fire. Hopefully, the high humidity and rain help to prevent sparks from igniting a fire!

[@ar4122]

Why would anyone want to change your life...you have massive skills and are successful in all you do. You stay the way your are. Youre perfect as you are

[@ChristineAustralia74]

heyyyy...... where have you been? looking forward to this episode ❣️🇦🇺

[@silvajns]

Seus vídeos são como uma terapia pra mim ❤‍🩹

I think in the long run, fired-clay barrel tiles would be more resilient to the weather

[@narulnahar5493]

Hai.... Hai ....Hello.. Hello... I missed your live ..every day i wait your show

[@supertonicwater]

Me too!

[@cecilcooper6210]

We call that splitter a fro. It is an ancient tool used by our early settlers. Very useful. A lot of work went into that. You will love it.

[@blademan175]

Froe, I made one 30 years ago. Primarily used for shingle making.

[@Faesharlyn]

I knew something was coming when we saw holes in the roof.. I was hoping for split wood since tile has been done so many times!

[@Feyreisa]

Your videos bring me such happiness and contentment. I have been watching for many years, watching you learn, build, and grow. You have wonderful craftsmanship and ingenuity. Along with your aptitude for building and gardening, there is always an artistic quality to your videos. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you!

[@alnax]

have you considered fire hardening your wood to prevent it from rotting so fast?

[@franciscodeassisabreudeoli3818]

I think it's great when you forge your own tools, make more videos creating new tools and it's really cool; As for your roof, I want to see the step by step of its construction, it will be great to see. Your works are wonderful and you are truly a self-sufficient person.

[@meskirian]

It looks like you need a heavier hammer for the blacksmith works. I think. Besides, nice to watch your new video report. Keep going! You are awesome ☺️

[@ghazwaal-samarrai1780]

Hi, I think you need to triple the amount of food you're giving to the fish if you want them to get bigger, plus you need to plant more vegetables because the winter is coming and I hate to see you go hungry. Thank you.

[@Sinyao]

It's currently hot wet season in Vietnam, and NA winter is cold dry season there. Somewhat chilly in the north, but never reaches near 0°C.

[@ОлександрБолотов-н2о]

Можно как вариант переложить крышу черепицей! Глина есть, сделать форму и потом как кирпичи наделать сколько нужно, долговечнее и перекладывать будет проще

[@OoklahomaGrandma]

I have watched all your videos from the first one to this one so far. I have never seen anyone as dedicated and hard working as you. I look forward to seeing how your doing and what you create in every video. You're a good Man!

[@TgWags69]

You should install some sort of sliding gate valve / air diverter to you tuyere so that you can easily shut the air off to the fire while you are hammering. It will save a lot of fuel.

[@fabienmichaud3824]

Tout ce travail. Partir de rien et pourtant construire patiemment. Un petit Paradis. Tout mon respect pour ton courage et ta détermination.

[@nicovandyk3856]

Awesome video as always! Looks like you need a saw to cut planks of certain thicknesses - a water powered sawmill with spinning blade

[@veronicatranchet8554]

Como siempre, un gran placer ser espectadora de tu evolución

[@qdchipmunk]

Ugh, your poor tool. I am sorry that happened. It is still such a pleasure to watch you make a new one. Love your videos. Also, I love how you have your smelter set up, very very nice.

[@payshayugen9256]

I wonder how you managed to sharpen your new tool over night. It must have taken a ton of time to do that, even with your grinding stone

[@grass-touched]

If your having trouble with smithing new tools or repairing them then you should try to make a steel anvil as when you have a rock as an anvil alot of the heat is transferred to the rock and it steals the heat from the hot steel making it not very efficient for making tools and you have to put it in the furnace many more times then normal

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you . 🐺

[@Jordan-ws6jy]

Always enjoy to see what has been happening here! 😁

[@dorasmuris]

Make a Tiled roof from clay. Making pieces in the shape of an L allows them to latch on to the piece above them. Or take off the top wood bamboo beams so the top layer are just the vertically slanted solid wood beams, and replace the roof with long wood planks

[@KatherineUribe-1]

Dear Mr Primitive Skills: your fish like to eat insects, not plant material. You could make your own fish food with a combination of meat and grains, cooked then chopped very fine. Or trap insects to feed them. When you go fishing, you don't use leaves to get them; you use bait made from insects or fish, or lures that look like those things.

[@rickystone561]

Love that legendary saw.

[@forsakensky84]

Every time I see a new video from you, rather on my Home page or on my Subscription page, I always take the time to watch it first before anything else. Keep it up! ♥♥♥

[@Phyriix]

You deserve the world… amazing work… I love this series

[@ArgonZavious]

What about Clay tiles for the roof, wouldn't have to fix so often?

[@jimbayler4277]

@ Primitive Skills: "Your loose hammer head": If you make small wedges, you can drive/hammer them into a split in the top of the handle where it passes through the hammer head. This will force the wood of the handle against the walls of the hole through the hammerhead, increasing the friction/gripping forces. This will help keep the hammerhead from coming off the handle. The wedges can be made of either metal or wood. Usually, they are used in combination. Make them with a long thin taper. Approximately 2-3cm long x 2cm wide x .5cm thick for your size hammer and handle. (different tools get different size wedges) Make them tapered from top to bottom, from wide to narrow on all four sides. You do not want that heavy hammerhead flying off while you are using it !! Ahhh ! I see that you used a nail later in the video, to do the same thing. Wedges are better. Nails can only exert minimal force.

[@calebdoan5540]

Dude just wanted to fix his roof but ended up forging a whole new tool

[@Flemmingmedf]

At 4:50 there was a worm, you should make a small area, where you can farm them for fish food and chicken food. You should dig a small hole maybe 1x2 meters and 0,5 meter deep. Fill the sides and buttom with cement, so they cant dig out. And then you just feed them scrap food like the husk of pineapples and so on

So inspiring to watch your videos. Your hard work is admirable!

[@jamesgoodman9560]

Nice forged bars. Why don't we see you making these? It would be great to see how you get so much metal.

[@Masterlitchuk]

Forged bars? Try leaf springs they look like to me. Originally make the iron from sand etc but to get that yield would take many many firings. Consolidation many many fails and doing nothing else apart from making charcoal 24/7 for weeks for each bloom not really worth it there should be no trees left at that rate...

[@zafercivelek399]

[@mrsebbe0724]

TIP. NEVER hammer the metal splitter with a metal hammer, make a wooden hammer but it would destroy easier but it's better for the metal splitter

[@ominith1]

@@ChippewaJoe nahh my dude, he does a great job of making it seem like it's only 1 person. but there is too much labor required for it to only be one person. or at the very least he has bought a lot of the raw material that he's used on this place.

[@starhammer5247]

@@ominith1 No, if you watch since day one you'd find that he could very easily do it solo. That pool isn't something he dug out in a day, that was a ravine that already existed there, he just built some retaining walls to keep it in by using a wooden plank and he has multiple videos of him cutting down trees. If he doesn't do it alone then he's a lazy bastard.

[@maksimevseev4627]

Hi! Nice to see you again, forging looks so cool I have some questions, why do you use planks for roof? Clay tiles looks a bit easier to make by hands and they can stay longer, doesn't they? Imho also looks much more better Also by your waterwheel you have nice opportunity to make auto planks saw to make more of them easier. Planks are always usable so it's great to have easyway to make them

[@jerinmartin1050]

Iam waiting! Because appreciate his hard work Please upload next video

[@yesterdayds]

After watching howuch time you spend with metal in the forge vs. outside hammering on it, I have to wonder how much charcoal is being wasted from the bellows constantly blowing on it. Is it possible with how your automatic bellows is set up to add a clutch to disengage the bellows when you don't have metal heating up in the forge? Or do you have multiple irons in the coals heating up for other projects?

[@TwilightVaramek]

i wonder if to help reenforce the tools more you ever thought about makeing a metal p[in and punching a hole in the part that goes inside the handle and then takeing that metel pin and pushing it thgrough the handle and the hole in the metal biutr to help secure itr in the handle if not a few metal pins

[@kathycampbell8485]

Hello Brother! I was just getting ready to check your channel incase I missed you. Thank you so much for the video! Are you entering the judiciary field? As in "Murphy's Law?" What can go wrong, will go wrong. Such a peaceful site, I wish I was there!

[@hajimaskunhajisalleh4327]

Change your roof with clay tiles . i think you can do it. It would be lasting

[@sathancat]

The saw is amazing but the machete is the true legend 😅

[@orlanduhden5842]

You could make clay roof tiles. They wont need to be replaced for more than 100 years or maybe longer. Wood tiles will last maybe 5 or 10 years.

[@catharinabellekom2013]

You are very clever. I love to watch you work. Take care and watch out for your feet.

[@jamesculp3622]

Thank you for sharing these videos. A while back you built a "saw mill" building. I thought you had figured out a way to use the water wheel to cut wood like a saw mill. Did that not work out? Because it would sure make these roof tiles easier. I wonder if slate rock from your river would be an option??? I look forward to your videos, keep up the good work. From Oregon :)

I hope he will continue the saw mill build. Can't wait to see what he comes up with!
