I work in the British Army, Royal Engineers. During phase 2 training, part of it was learning about trenching. Digging a 1.7 metre deep, 5 metre long and roughly 0.5 metre wide trench took the better part of an afternoon. Keep in mind this was with around 10 people all working on it, switching in and out, etc. When I saw the videos of just two men excavating vast volumes of ground with the bare minimum of tools, I immediately called bullshit. Sometimes you don't need video evidence, tracks, or stuff like that. Just go and dig a hole yourself.

[@VeteranVandal]

And you used modern equipment to do it. They would take at least 10 times it took your 10 people to do the same work doing it morning and afternoon and that doesn't take into account food of any kind. Digging is hard af and the amount of calories and tools breaking under primitive conditions would slow everything down slightly still. So, yea, if you ever dug without machines you know how much faster they are. It's stupid how much faster they are.

[@Knalxz]

The whole point is that he wants to take a break from modern life sometimes and live like primitive humans for a bit. Not to mention he shows pretty much everything he does.

[@NLTops]

And by the way, cement (a core component of concrete) is made from limestone and clay. Clay is a rather common soil type (not that the stuff he was digging up from the river seemed like clay...), but just clay is not enough to make cement, let alone concrete. Interestingly you can build somewhat permanent housing out of clay. Early civilizations did so a LOT. Primitive Technology also makes some great stuff out of clay. But yeah, I saw like one of those fake channels, I believe it was some video where they made a pool, and I instantly blocked it and decided one "life of primitive humans" channel was enough for me.

To the people who think that digging a 10 ft hole is possible in a few hours with sticks and bare hands should try it, you'll find yourself giving up before even reaching 5 feet by the end of the day. 😂

[@alewis514]

if it was easy to dig 10 ft hole then serial killers would dig 30 ft holes and they'd never find the bodies. But it's not easy. They usually give up and settle for 3-4 footer makeshift grave which is easily detected by dogs. I mean, they are pretty determined to not get caught right? So why they dig so shallow graves? It's because it's fucking hard to do without mechanical tools. If you tried to dig a hole you propably realize that sooner or later you hit a rock. Then a bigger rock. Then even bigger rock. Eventually you are running into rocks that are 2 feet in diameter and weigh about as much as yourself. You're not getting past that without tools.

[@Misanthropolis]

No kidding. I was helping my uncle and cousin in digging a long, 1 meter deep hole to my grandma's house for the purpose of implementing a water system which came from a borehole and it took us HOURS just to get to the house, and additional hours to get the right depth.

I was pretty ignorant and gullible enough to believe that a bunch of these videos were legitimately real, it’s a good thing that there’s a handful of primitive building channels left that stay legitimate.

Most of Charlie's viewers come from other countries like the Philippines. They loooove their primitive building channels and yes they are the kind of people who also believe everything they see and hear online. Remember all those dumb videos where people would put some animal in a hole, then pretend like pouring stuff into it attracted the animal so they can grab it with their hands and pull it out??? That kind of content was extremely viral for a long time despite being sooo blatantly fake and stupid. Doesn't matter though certain demographics eat that stuff up and if you so much as call it fake, like charlie did, they'll get really triggered.

[@anonview]

@@Josh-gb9ml Bruh, I'm from the Philippines. Not all of us believe everything that's on the internet. The first time our family watched this primitive build stuff, we knew they were using cement and other construction equipment. But as with all other countries on this planet, not just mine, it's the gullible ones who seem to be the most vocal whenever others tell them that they're wrong.

Primitive Technology was the first ever primitive building youtube channel that I found interesting to watch, and I'm glad its legit

[@elbolainas4174]

Same for me, after discovering him yt started to show me a lot of the other rip offs in the recommendations (many from the fake ones) but there was something off that made me don't even thinking about watching them and I stayed loyal to the original one.

[@_Killkor]

If you've watched enough PT episodes, doubting its legitimacy is just stupid or looking for nothinburger drama.

[@GillfigGarstang]

@@elbolainas4174 I am the same; the copycats started being recommended to me and I immediately was put off by how they seemed focussed on impressing us by making showy but impractical structures instead of educating us on how people throughout history made a living for themselves without access to modern tools and conveniences. They seem to love building ‘primitive’ swimming pools, but all I can think of when they do is the number of mosquitoes would spawn from a pool of standing freshwater in a tropical climate.

[@Ozone946]

and he was the first to start doing it

[@grinreaperoftrolls7528]

I really wish they wouldn’t leave the structures to fall apart. They’re so cool even if the videos are fake. Like if you’re gonna destroy the environment to make something cool, at least take care of it.

[@RicJiang]

If I were then I’d try to sell that stuff to people and make some extra cash

[@MechMK1]

The economics of south-east asia are quite different. The big bucks is made by pumping out one video after the other with millions of views. Who cares about the environment? And as you can tell just by how quickly these structures deteriorate, no one *wants* to have them. Those "pools" aren't pools - they're stagnant bodies of water with no cleaning, circulation or a microbiome that keeps it clean. It will turn into a horrible swamp almost immediately.

[@maroon-azure]

@@MechMK1 Hey, drop some fish or lizards in there and you got somethin

@@MechMK1 true, they’re more like temporary art exhibits

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

The stagnant pools would be impossible to take care of.

[@thegrimcritic5494]

I like how my sister showed me one of these videos and told me how impressed she was by it all. But my immediate question was wondering why anyone was doing this and what they did with what they built after completion. Lo and behold, I was right in assuming they just build these worthless, pointless pools and then just… leave them out there in the wilderness to wither away and be retaken by nature. What a weird trend.

[@-percnado-]

Imagine walking around in the woods and find these

[@bonafikam]

It's about the money, the path taken to get that money is irrelevant.

[@KalinTheZola]

Imagine if they spent half the resources to make those pools and made fun stuff like that for disenfranchised communities rather than just literally letting it rot and go to waste.

[@tritonis54]

Honestly, the point or lack of point of the buildings is not really the concern here. Like, you could say that about literally any piece of art.

[@KalinTheZola]

@@tritonis54 Art that's left in the wild to rot with animals that could sustain major injuries for running into it while trying to escape a predator. Granted this is part of why I'm also anti-monument but that's an aside.

[@eve-llblyat2576]

Nobody mentioned one thing. 1m³ soil wheigst between 1.3 and 1,8 tons. The soil in the video is dense. Lets say 1.6t. 5:22 This small hole is at least 9 m³. Thats are 14,4 t. Thats 360 whellbarrows. Diged with bare hands. The soil moved somewhere and piled up. The bulk density is much lower so they had to pike up a mountain somewhere. And they even make much larger holes. Such a project would takes years for one guy. Never ever.

[@BobBombadil]

My girlfriend Is SO into these videos and asks me to build something like this with her for fun. I've tried to explain to her that there is no way "that one guy" built that with a stick in the middle of the jungle by himself. It's like when you're a little kid and your friends and you think digging an underground tunnel system between each others houses so that you can sneak back and forth is a great idea

[@wolfdragon4176]

Agree and ask her to start digging the hole for a pool she’ll see that it takes fucking ages to make any form of progress
