Adobe is one of the most ancient building materials used in history. Primitive cultures made these earthen bricks thousands of years ago and many cultures still use adobe in construction. Adobe basically means mud brick in Spanish and was widely used in the southwest United States as well as many other parts of the world. My hut is constructed entirely of adobe bricks that I made from the surrounding earth. The hut is nearly three years old and has endured three rainy seasons, two of which more rain fell than usual. I have witnessed first hand the resilience of adobe as a construction material for small dwellings.
In this video I show you exactly how I make my adobe bricks. No special tools are required. Everything can be made from natural materials easily acquired in nature. This video is narrated so that I can describe the details to you so turn on sound or enable captions in your preferred language.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Who films you?
I do. I travel alone, shoot, edit, upload, everything.
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 exactly where I go.
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 do 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 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).
