Primitive technology

Recommended Posts

Now I know this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but what is? haha

 

primitive technology basically means making everyday  homes, tools and items without using any modern technology whatsoever. Kind of like doing things the way our ancestors used to do it.  I find it absolutely fascinating  and maybe if I was a few years younger  and I had the time I’d like to have a go at some of it myself. In this video, this chap makes the entire hut with his hands- including the roof tiles. He makes it all. He’s got 8.5 million subscribers and this video has had 55 million views!

They shouldn't be as fascinating as they are. I've watched most of them.  

 

The bloke clearly puts an enormous amount of effort into making them, but they're so popular it's likely he now just does this full time and probably makes a small fortune from it.

 

Not bad for someone who claims he's not an academic or had any training - and just does this for fun.

Yes he started out just doing it as a hobby... evenings and weekends but these videos are his full time job now.. he makes that much money from the advertising in them.
