Primitive Technology: Woven bark fiber

Woven Bark Fibre
I made a rough type of textile from bark fibre. This is the same tree I use for making cordage though I don’t know its name. It has been raining a lot here lately (the video also shows how well the hut stands up to rain) and this caused a large wattle tree to fall down taking a few smaller trees with it. One of the trees was the type I use for fibre. So I stripped the bark from it and divided it into thinner strips back at the hut.
I spun the fibre strips into a rough yarn using a drop spindle. The drop spindle was basically the spindle and fly wheel I used in the pump drill video I made a while ago. A small stick was tied to the top of the drop spindle to act as a hook to make sure the fibres spun. I tied bark strips to the spindle and spun the spindle so it twisted the strip. When one strip ran out a new strip was added and twisted into the thread.
I then made a loom by hammering stakes into the ground and lashing cross bars to it. Stakes were hammered into the ground to hold every first string while a moveable cross bar held every second string. When the bar was lifted a gap was formed where every second string was above every first string. Then when the bar was dropped a gap was formed where the opposite was true. So in this way the weaving thread could be drawn through over and under one way and then under over back the opposite way. The alternative was to weave by hand which would have taken longer.
Collecting, stripping and drying the fibre took a few days to do. Spinning and weaving took just over a day per 70 cm square. The result was a rough material about as stiff as a welcome mat. So at this stage I’m using them as mats. In future I will investigate finer fibres, such as those from banana stalks, as a possible material for cloth. They take more processing but produce a finer product. I may also make a permanent, portable loom that can be taken indoors when it rains.

In the 1940s, my grandmother, living in rural Canada, made linen cloth for sheets and towels. She would plant the flax (linen), let it grow, harvest it, soak it in pond water to rot everything except the fibers, beat and dry the fiber, spin it and then weave it into cloth. I still have two of her kitchen towels today. They are a treasure to me.

[@Rilagooma]

I know this is an old comment but the cambium layer of a growing tree is almost always smooth and damp, it would be dry wood that gave splinters

[@rowanbcapr]

@@Rilagooma yeah cambium is really smooth when fresh, but when it’s dry you absolutely can get splinters.

[@Rilagooma]

@@rowanbcapr That's true, but he was stripping a very green tree so I don't think it was dry at all

[@jimbarchuk]

Notes. By the description, the tree had literally just fallen, but not because it was dead, taken down by another larger tree. His feet are tougher than his hands. Sharp rocks are a far worse threat to the feet than any stick.

You can also try pounding the fibre with a large, smooth rock prior to spinning. We do that with our stripped flax fibre in New Zealand when making traditional cloaks, and it makes the final product much softer/flexible.

រឿងដំរីនិងចាបបាន

[@musicman8345]

@r steevens There's this thing called the sun that shines light that reflects off the planets.

[@musicman8345]

@r steevens Yea. That's outside of the solar system. The perspective is different when looking at one solar system from outside of it, as oppose to looking at planet in our own solar system. We can see the light reflect off Venus because were in the same solar system as Venus, orbiting around the same star. When you're looking at planets orbiting around a different star, then you can only see them by the shadow. Do you believe that Venus actually isn't a planet, but a star, and NASA is telling us it's a planet? Because if so, come on. Venus was discovered in before NASA even existed.

[@musicman8345]

@r steevens It's extremely far away. It looks like a star to us, because it's so far away, that we can't see any detail. Look at this picture. www.google.com/search?q=pic+of+earth+from+saturn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiJjJ3IpLneAhUSSN8KHUYLCR4Q_AUIEygB&biw=2048&bih=1042#imgrc=pqztuSbt4VuNoM: The arrow is pointing to Earth. It looks like a star too, because the picture was taken so far away. I know Venus is closer to Earth, but still far enough away to seem so small.

[@musicman8345]

@r steevens They pulsate because of our turbulent atmosphere. I see you're one of those people. Who doesn't believe anything, and thinks everything they've been told is a lie, even though coming up with all these lies and fooling billions of people is a waste of time. And as far as I'm concerned, people like you just want to feel better and more intelligent then then everyone else, so you make yourself believe the opposite of everything you've been taught and then make yourself think you're right. So whatever. Think whatever you want. I respect your opinions, even if I don't agree with them. It's a free country. Think whatever you want. I just don't see the motive that NASA, or anyone, would have to lie about this stuff to this extent.

[@aprilodee]

Incredible work. I was so excited when I saw the drop spindle! And the rigid loom construction is great. I see how the walking back and forth to set the shed between each pass must have been tiresome after a while. Shame you couldn't make a reed to push the weft down as one instead of having to batten using your fingers as that would also have sped things up -- just a piece of wood slightly longer than the total width pushed between the shed and pulled back toward the fabric would do the trick. Anyway, this was very cool to see. Did you read about looms and the type of construction possible in early technology, or backwards engineer a modern one and simplify it? If you are considering making a finer fabric which would require more time perhaps a warp-weighted loom which hangs vertically? These were common before automatic looms so maybe they are more convenient for hand use.

[@brickman409]

this guy gets more advanced with each video. in ten years he's going to figure out how to make a working automobile from his bare hands and in 20 he'll be making computers, in 30 years he will have surpassed the technology of us mere mortals and will be living in space.

this is almost like watching history and how people used to survive and evolve

[@vv2304]

People haven't really evolved, technology has, passed knowledge through generations. His videos are very appealing because they teach us about our lost roots that are still in the unconscious mind. Humans were hunter-gatherers for a very long time before civilizations started rising all around globe.

[@Mrtheunnameable]

People didn't survive like this. His "technology" is pretty anachronistic, and it's unlikely that a primitive human would survive this long by himself.

[@Valkbg]

He didnt mean by himself but in a vilage or a tribe. And why is it anachronistic?

[@CravonMoorehead]

I think the difference is people NOW know what to make and what to do to survive. I can google what i need to survive in the wild and how to make what i need to survive. What to eat, where to sleep, ect. While back then, they just had to go with the flow.
