Primitive Technology: Chimney and pots

Показать описание

I installed a fireplace and chimney in the tiled roof hut. This is for for lighting and cooking. Heating is already taken care of by the underfloor heating system. I knocked a hole in the back wall and made it from the same mud used to build the hut. Some left over roof tiles were used as a chimney cap.

I made same pottery too. Clay was dug from the creek bank, mixed with broken crushed tiles as grog and formed into a cooking pot and 4 large water pots. I burnished them (rubbed till smooth) with a snail shell and a seed pod making them stronger and more water proof. Then I fired them in the tile kiln. The kiln fired pottery was larger and stronger than my previous pit fired pots and also had a lower breakage rate with only one of the five pots breaking.

I used the water pots to carry water from the creek to irrigate a sweet potato patch behind the wattle and daub hut (over the creek from the tile hut). The cooking pot was used to boil creek water. I used two different methods to show how to boil water: 1) in the kiln using it like a stove and 2) using pot boiling stones from the fire place. Boiling the water with rocks was faster than boiling a pot over a fire. Wooden tongs were made and rocks were put in the fireplace till they glowed red hot. The rocks were then put in the cold water in the pot. It only took 4 rocks to boil the water violently. This is probably the best method for sterilizing suspect water for drinking and could be done even without a pot (even a puddle next to a creek could be boiled this way).

I have no face book page. Beware of fake pages.

The people who came up with these technology in the primitive times are the geniuses of their era.

This man is so nice. He always ends his comments with "thanks" and never once have i seen his comments turn malicious.

I could watch him build stuff all day long. Love this channel.

I heard that this was the only legit primitive building channel on youtube so keep up the good work mate.

Watching you make things like this with such intuition is an eye-opening representation of Man's evolutionary success.

You're an artist, a mathematician, an engineer, and an athlete all in one, and so are we all if we so choose to meet our potential.

This guy is a badass. Boiling water is spraying all over him at one point and he doesn't even say a word.

Drops first stone: ha this is fun.
Drops second stone: getting a little dangerous here.
Drops third stone: maybe I should move.
Drops forth stone: *oh shit*

Really interesting that if everyone lost our technology, we still could have a semblance of living. its also pretty cool that he built this all from scratch out of dirt, water, wood and stone.

I'm definitely gonna try to make those tongs next time I go camping. An ingeniously simple design.

Who else wants to just start a community and live in this dudes back yard.

I have respect for this guy knowing that a lot of stuff he is doing isn't as easy as it seems

I'm imagining future archeologists coming across this guy's pots and tools and stuff and being super confused as to how there were still people living this primitively in the 2010s.
Edit: *without any larger society around it, just the tools one person could make, in the woods somewhere. I recognize that there are absolutely people who still live with this technology in the world.
