About This Video:
With the wet season at it's peak, a shelter was needed to keep tools and materials dry as well as providing a dry work-space for future projects. So after some procrastination, I decided on a low roof design. A 2.5 m by 2.5 m hut with a ridge 2 m above the ground and side walls 75 cm high. Upright posts were put in at about 60 cm intervals along the 3 walls. The front was left open as this is more of an open workshop than a dwelling. Grass was collected from high up in the hill as it will not grow in the darker, lowland forest. Carrying the thatch to the hut was the most labor intensive part taking approximately 36 hours over the course of more than a week. The walls were then coated in soft, grey mud from a nearby clearing. The floor was coated in the same material. A large amount of rain fell due to a nearby tropical cyclone passing to the north. Despite this there were only a few leaks (mainly on the ridge line) that were subsequently patched with more grass. A fire was then lit with fire-sticks despite the damp conditions. This was done to help dry the mud walls and floor. The end of the video shows the yam mounds behind the hut doing well from of the torrential rain. The shelter will suffice for the remaining two months of rain that is expected to fall.
About Primitive Technology:
Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber.

I started typing and then realized how inappropriate it was. I was just about to provide my comments to you, but to someone else. I absolutely love your channel. It is so very calming and rewarding. I am confident I can replicate so many of your tasks with some practice. That, oddly enough, puts modern society in perspective. If I can survive with some sticks and rocks, what the fuck am I doing working so fucking hard for someone else. Your channel provides such a great perspective/vantage point. I love it because I am now working to embrace it. I will not go full primitive, but it is soooooo very rewarding to know that with your video tutorials and a whole-helluva-lot-of-kilocalories I can be (and be happy). Lots of love to you and yours.

While a short reply: "Love your videos" (for example) might suffice, trying to explain why I love the videos should mean something more. It does to me as an artist when I receive feedback. I don't get the opportunity for dialog (or to a minimal degree) here, so I want to put it out there and explain. Context matters, and I want to explain myself sometimes.

I work on tow boats on intercoastal waterways and have a 20 days on 10 day off schedule. On my time off, I have become infatuated with primitive survival. My mom has a 47 acre plot in deep east Texas, US; within that plot I have an acre of my own. We have a creek that runs completely through the property with a high embankment, surrounded by the pineywoods, almost just like this. The creek has great clay "tiles" for pottery in mass abundance. I have created a dam and several fish traps within the creek and have been highly successful. Crawfish, minnows, catfish, bluegill, sun perch, and the occasional bass. We do have an open grassy field that I use to collect my thatching, along with a Blackberry patch smack-dab in the middle. We have wild hogs, deer, and all of the other creatures that live in the woods. Flint is plentiful, I do make arrowheads by flint-knapping, along with arrow shafts and bows. I have learned how to do so much, just from watching your Channel. I have subscribed I would like to connect with you on a personal level just to answer some more questions that I have.

I like the inclusion of how long each task takes. Great way to show the massive time investment something as simple as plucking grass is.

[@HerrCherno]

Shows how little, if any, free time humans had. The daylight hours were spent collecting materials and food just to survive. It also shows how the concept of dividing work between members of a community and occupation specialization came to be, where one would only collect wood while another would only build structures, and a third would hunt and gather food, with each one profiting from the other's skill in his or her particular fied.

[@mr.jamerton3686]

It also shows what life was like before mechanization of any kind was able to lighten the work load on the individual and that is an extremely fascinating part of history and societal development. Just to think of a time where everybody was so busy spending their time collecting materials and sowing the fields that they couldn't study or invent things as a primary occupation.

I really appreciate timelines. "20 minutes" for this fire is great information. How long to build the hut itself? Collect the thatch? I know you probably don't do it all in one day, but a good idea of cumulative time spent would be awesome. I've been with you since 100k subs, and I love every video. Cheers!

In the subtitles he said that thatching took 36 hours, but he also said he needed to go an hour away to get the grass he needed so it should probably take less time if you use grass that's nearby.

[@m.a.t.a.s]

So when are you going to finish expanding your village? Also the subtitles are the perfect way of describing things in this case. Words would just ruin it all.

36 hours to finish the thatching.. Wow well done.
