Stone & Tile Floor for my Primitive Hut (episode 3.7)

Dirt is NOT pleasant to sleep on. A primitive dirt floor is NOT nice in a hut. It took long enough but I finally got so bothered with the dirt floor that I went to work to put in a stone and tile floor. It's still totally primitive but it's so much better. I only wish I had done this sooner.

Man, that floor looks beautiful. A lot of hard work though. And from your comment "100 times better than a dirt floor" means well worth the effort. Thx for filming this and sharing it with us.

Badgers are very smart. I was watching the special in Australia, about the honey badgers. They were unwinding wire on a gate and were getting to the Honey. They tried every means. You are awesome!!!😮😊❤ You have proved to me what is possible with primitive means. Thank you for your time❤ I mean that from my heart.

I was watching this with my (other) 1-year old and realized your content is perfect for babies too! Slow paced, neutral and natural. Thanks again!

To settle down the dust, traditionally in India we use cow dung. My grandma’s was adobe house. She applies a thin layer of cow dung mixed with water once a week. Sweeps house everyday with fine broom made out of dried tall grass called Korai. And uses coconut leaves broom made called thennai for outdoors. The other practice for outdoors is to sprinkle water or water mixed with cow dung everyday outside the house and sweep will keep the soil settled down over a period of time. In Tamil we call it ‘vasal thelipathu’

It's like going back in time with your videos, the floor was certainly an important invention to remove dust, the cow skins on the floor are the ancestors of mattresses and carpets, beautiful video o the evolution of human comfort. ❤

Just love that ''previously on primal tendencies'' part of the video. Reminds me so much of the beginning of the Primitive Tendencies series in 2021. I was there from the episode 1!

Не могу передать своё восхищение твоей работой!!! Завидую тебе, возраст и здоровье не позволяют повторить что-то подобное...грустно, но гляжу твои ролики это так позитивно!!!

Veo el video y la imaginación me hace llegar a épocas muy antiguas y a esas personas que encontrarían el mismo problema del polvo y realizarían cualquier cosa que pudiera eliminarlo, como pisos, de piedra, madera, pieles, es natural que lo hicieran tenían recursos naturales y también entendían de comodidad y limpieza.
Gracias Chad Zuber

Hello my friend chad
I appreciate the effort this work requires.
This technique of stone paving was used in ancient times for paving roads, building stairs in the mountains leading up to caves, and paving floors at cave entrances. However, it was not used for lining areas designated for sleeping or sitting.
Instead, you can make a mixture of clay and straw, knead it well so that it is more than 10 centimeters thick. After that, it is soaked with water and smoothed by hand or with a flat piece of wood, then left to dry. It will become hard and strong, and will not produce dust.

Using clay mixed with straw was common because it provided a soft and comfortable surface and acted as a natural thermal insulator, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the caves.
This was particularly important in harsh environments where caves were used as permanent or temporary shelters.Flat stone paving is used for thresholds, cave entrances, and primitive stair steps.

I have built stone stairs in one of my videos using this technique without using clay, and they were stable and strong.
Thank you for sharing your amazing skills.

10:54 with this awesome floor made, the very next video, a good broom should also be made. I'm sure there are plenty of fluffy/twiggy plants around.

You can solve the bager problem by covering the way that leads inside by making cover with sticks and a cloth

Excellent, hard work. You should continue the stone floor a little outside your hut too. To help to not bring as much dirt in. Great job 👍🏼
