I explore the wilderness and practice wilderness survival skills and crafts, bushcraft, including building and making huts, primitive shelters and tools, only by using natural resources. Some of my projects include, axe making, fire making, natural cordage, thatched long term huts and survival shelters.
I have always felt a natural sense of connection with nature and been interested in the questions of biology. With bushcraft you educate yourself of your surroundings and learn to be self reliant in the wilderness, like our ancestors were.
you were incredible at manufacturing the axe. but not so great in using it. Had you used it to strike the trunk in an angle, your effort would have been much more effective
I don't know how 87 people so far can give a thumbs down for this video. Awesome skills and it was great to see you doing it with so much patience cutting all the reed and attach them with bark stripes. Very nice project and well done.
Thanks so much brother! I was looking for time estimates on similar huts made out here in the Western United States by Indigenous peoples. I appreciate your attention to detail and the use of all stone tools. Looks like we have a lot it common (we made a boat with stone tools last year). Cheers from the US!
Gr8 video. Outstanding demo on building the hut. Gr8 technique on binding with bark. The changing of seasons showed you had to be patient to source your materials. Thanks for posting this awesome creation.
Watching the process of making these primitive tools and then working with them, primitive people must have had a lot of tedium in their lives- a lot of repetition and effort to do and make things that we can accomplish in so much less time (using a steel axe, for instance). Of course, modern people have plenty of tedium in their lives too- such as sitting at a desk pushing papers around or stabbing at a keyboard for 40 hours a week, or sitting in traffic, waiting in lines, etc. We think we have so many time saving devices (like the car), but do we really?
