When they break he just smashes them up to make better pottery so it's not a total waste.

Why is he building a grass hut when he already built a clay hut complete with rain run-off and heated floors? Did someone destroy his clay hut? Does he need to make a video about how to form a caveman posse and revenge some poo poo up?

This wouldn't had happened if he had lived in a band like a civilized denizen of the Mesolithic :smug:.

Yeah it's called sherd temper and it's a really common technological practice in a lot of ceramic traditions.

Here he is building a mud hut using his bare hands and a lovely rock:

He wasn't satisfied with that though so instead he built a house that's nicer than at least 20% of the houses that goons live in including a hearth, heated floor, chimney, tile roof, etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P73REgj-3UE

In his most recent video he makes charcoal. Why does he make charcoal? Well, it's easier to store and start fires with. But more importantly it burns hot enough to smelt metal. This dickhead is going to make a bronze loving axe from scratch just you wait. I get real satisfied digging a posthole for a fence. If I made an axe out of dirt and loving wood I'd never get laid again due to the syrupy continuous smugtrails that would leak out of my pits like pressure forcing water through pumice.

He doesn't claim the camera is primitive. His shorts aren't primitive either. :shrug: He doesn't actually live in the woods and grow/hunt/gather all his own food. He is a normal modern guy with a house, refrigerator, a smartphone and a job. And access to access to antibiotics and stuff.

His hobby is recording videos of himself making things using primitive technology. That's cool because it helps us imagine how our ancestors might have done it, but he never claims to be living an authentic primitive lifestyle.

i feel that in lieu of him just picking up iron ore and poo poo out of stream beds to accurately show early metalworking (cause that stuff's all gone now) he be allowed to melt down and rework any pieces of junk metal he finds in the woods.

obviously he cant reproduce the exact processes but i'll still take him forging a hunting knife out of an old leaf spring or whatever

This thread lead me to this guy's videos smelting and forging bog ore they're great

Yessss new vid! I still watch tiled roof hit just because it's relaxing as gently caress. Dude knows sometimes man just needs peace and quiet (and building poo poo)

The only thing that sucks with this advancement is scaling. I watched the video linked earlier of an African tribe smelting with bellows and to get enough ore to make like a pick or other hand tool requires hours of work, a large furnace, and a lot of raw material. Not sure if he will try to scale up or else maybe he will invent some awesome tool, but will probably take him a while.
