/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>Is he just a revenue monkey?
he started out posting videos he made for his college class
the channel kinda exploded, but considering his subscriber count hes making abysmal low on patreon (still good for a monthly salary)
If he were in for the money, he would shill for that
still comfy to watch

He's out there doin' it to 'em. Yeah I mean he has the internet to learn shit but I think people like him because it's just cool to watch.

>>1372376
>>1372377
That doesnt change the fact that he's in the wrong place to focusing on mud at all. Should be focusing on timber construction. Also wouldnt hurt to have a larger crew to better simulate primitive construction.

>>1372379
hes an ausi focusing on aboo shit because he is/were studying them
It all started with him uploading his video diary, he has gained a lot of popularity since but the style hasn't really changed much

>>1372381
even abos delved into bark cladding and stone.

>>1372371
Somebuddy jelly

>>1372371
>being triggered enough to call people normies if they like watching /diy/ in a forest, with pleasing nature sounds as the background
I can't imagine being you bud, is it because you know he makes more at our hobby than we ever will?

>Dude does awesome stuff on his own, requiring years of dedication and volumes of knowledge to reach such a level of survival expertise
>hurr normies

>>1372386
>>1372387
>>1372389
>Im jelly so im not aloud to make observations.

>>1372389
Naw he just reads how to do it out of a book. If you do it step by step you can do it easily too

>>1372391
>aloud
You're so jelly that you have to run to a northwest pacific islanders confetti and panty hose website to bitch and moan that this guy gets more YouTube puss than you ever will, yes.

>>1372392
clear case of dunning kruger

>>1372371
Everyone praises him, even you.

>>1372407
I don't praise him. I just like watching diy innawoods with few tools and no fucking talking.

>>1372371
probably doing more with his life than you are.

>>1372371
>Why do normies praise this guys so much?
are you...
are you NOT a normie?
are you abnormal?

>>1372379
The guy likes to be alone with his mud. I see no problem with this.

>>1372439
>tfw gonna start doing this shit this summer
Not going to record it though

>>1372379
Why does that thing have boobs?

>>1372379
Not time effective. I hope he finally gets established so he can delve back into iron smelting techniques. Seeing him dig a mine via fire-setting would be neat also.

>>1372379
Send us a link to your YouTube channel so we can see how it's supposed to be done.

>>1372439
The alternative on youtube these days is ear-rape music, tidepods, snorting condoms, aluminium foil balls and begging like a crackhead for some patreon support every 5 minutes.
Just a dude making some stuff out of mud, with a stick and some rocks, but at least he's not irritating and actually does some shit

>almost 8M followers
>only 3300 patrons
>6k per video
It's good but how isn't this guy making hundreds of thousands? How many does he get from the views?

>>1372391
So jelly you made a mad af post about it.
lmao

>>1372371
>Is he just a revenue monkey?
No, the cambodian and indian bootleg versions of his channel are. This is literally just this guy's hobby.

>>1372371
>Normies
Found the normalfag retard.

>>1372689
I agree. I find it fascinating to watch, as I live in a city apartment when I used to mess around outside like that when I was a kid.

>>1372392
Yeah, let's pretend that you didn't learn 99% of everything you know out of others, books, and the edumacational system.

Are you legally retarded? Or do you just want to take credit away with bankrupt arguments?

>>1372689
This.

>>1372381
>>1372385
It's about primitive stuff in general, the stone axe he uses is celtic for instance, it's just basic stuff every civilization and race (except for blacks and abbos on metalworking and such?) did themselves. You can't really claim anything shown there as exclusively abbo/white/south american, etc. as they all did the same shit. When they did become separate in technological advancement was around the indoeuropean invasions, (the people who would become romans, germans, celts and europeans in general).

>>1372557
I want to know this as well. The only thing I can think of is male and female steps.

>>1372905
from the top of my head:
Primitive Tool
Primitive Life
Primitive Skills
Primitive Technology idea
Survival Skills Primitive

there's like 300 new guys copypasting this genre

>>1372829
John Plant said he's doing this full time now.
he should get more patreons tbqh

>>1373062
I get ads for them and they're clickbaity as fuck, shit like grabbing a live snake.

>>1372371

Sounds like you're just jelly as fuck that he's getting by on this.

>>1372371
are you jelly he is a Chad and you are a virgin or is are you sad you arent getting comfy with him in the shack behind him?

>>1373063
Well it's not like he has any consumable expenses (besides living expenses), save for an editing PC upgrade every few years and hard drives/cloud storage.

>>1372371

His channel isnt monetized, he has a day job as a computer programmer or some shit (ie he is one of us), this is just his hobby so why are you hating. The real money shills are all those dudes making rip off channels.

>>1373129
"Hey Hank, what do you do in your spare time? I'm getting into crocheting myself."
"I make mud huts"

>>1372371

>>1373035
>the stone axe he uses is celtic for instance
No it isn't. It is a type of primitive axe called ”celt”. It refers to the way it is hafted and it has nothing to do with celtic peoples, who didn't even exist until the late bronze age.

>>1373129
>His channel isnt monetized
No matter how you put it, this is just dumb. There's nothing wrong with making some shekels while providing comfy content, he needs to step his game since he could be a near millionaire by now.

>>1373053
>putting boobs on it for modesty sake

i like this

>>1373357
wouldn't he just get demonetized for cultural appropriation or some other sjw-induced seizure reason?

>>1373357
Maybe he just doesn't want to.
That whole "being above reproach, uncorrupted by money" thing.

>>1372379
Some primitive houses look quite comfy

>>1372439
The best videos on Youtube don't have voices.

I don't see what's wrong with him
I like what he does and he seems to like what he does and puts a lot of effort on it

>>1372371
Its cool to watch, you can learn a bit, and he isn't obnoxious. I dig it.

>don't forget to like comment and subscribe and click the little bell so you get notifications

Anyone else want to do what he does, except show how absurdly incompetent/retarded abos/indians/third worlders are/were, and how getting to a moderately advanced level of development on your own isn't particularly hard.

By that I mean, focusing on progression from paleo-nigger to 18th century starting from nothing, rather than on the application of ancient/primitive methods.

>>1373724
Fast forward six months of scrabbling together tools and forging shitty iron until you realize you need a village of nepotistic craftsmen to actually do anything technologically.

>>1373724
>By that I mean, focusing on progression from paleo-nigger to 18th century starting from nothing
nothing except two thousand years of research and a concept of africa and india that's a thousand years out of date

>>1373724
>how absurdly incompetent/retarded abos/indians/third worlders are/were
do you think all africans and indians live in straw huts or something?

>>1373806
They do. This is absolutely correct that they do and it's what africa is actually like. Just google it. Africa doesn't even have roads. Except for the roads that WHITE AMERICANS built for them. You should say thank you, dumb nigger.

>>1373811
That would highly depend on the area/country, also you are thinking the British and Dutch if I recall correctly.

That said I would totally watch one man Age of Empires in real life.

>>1373820
>also you are thinking the british and dutch
Lol. Literally third world SHITHOLE countries. Anything in africa is property of America. We built it and those niggers keep ruining it because they are sub human.

Anyone else actually like some of the Vietnamese channels?
I quite enjoy Primitive Skills' videos, mostly because he comes up with his own ideas, like his new videos on irrigation and draining a swamp.
Survival Skills Primitive is also kinda cool, they're brothers so they can make more complex things like a concrete brick house, a well, and a crane off the top of my head.

>>1373788

Most of human knowledge was produced within the past 200 years my dude...

>>1373820
Portugal too, and some minor 'american' influence in liberia.
>That said I would totally watch one man Age of Empires in real life.
That's exactly my thought. Like I figure some simple cheats would be acceptable, like buying seasalt and once something had been done once I was allowed to buy the raw materials, like once iron ore had been found and processed, I would be allowed to buy a few tons of ore so as to preserve the land. And after so much iron had been produced I would be allowed to just buy pig iron.
You know, after capability had been well proven just stuff to save the property quality and wallet, or stuff that can be attained almost anywhere with enough walking but isn't on the property (uncut green lumber, seasalt, sea shells, etc)

>>1373838
Please be a troll. Otherwise you're a shining star posterboy for the Dunning-Krüger-effect. At one point, very much before you start smelting and casting iron or lead for pipes, you run into problems with skills that take longer to acquire and collate than you alone have. All adults know this. You will too, unless you only larp at doing things with your hands.

Can one or two people make bloom iron and forge simple tools? Sure. You can probably get started on copper too. But if you think the road from there to fine brasswork and interlocking gears, not to mention complex machinery, is "a meme", you have another think coming.

>>1373838
I'd like to see you make anything close to resembling a gear on a pole lathe faggit

>>1373844
>very much before you start smelting and casting iron or lead for pipes, you run into problems with skills that take longer to acquire and collate than you alone have.
Yes, that's why I said 18th century. And it happens way afterward ironworking has been achieved.

>But if you think the road from there to fine brasswork and interlocking gears, not to mention complex machinery, is "a meme", you have another think coming.
Yes and no. Although automation would be cool to achieve, that's shooting way too fucking high for a single person to achieve beyond something like a duplicator.
Don't double the utility of compass constructions, weighing paper, and simple files. Besides, what would you even need fine gears for to progress technologically? Energy efficiency is always secondary to utility.

>>1373849
Make a round dowel, make it square.
Take N lengths of cordage, one filled with dye or covered in char. Wrap the cordage around the dowel. Do the same starting from the other end.
If you made your cordage and diameter the right sizes, then you will have M number of intersections of marking around the dowel.
Hey woah look at that, equally spaced divisions for you to use to carve out a gear from that you used a pole lathe to be able to do so.

>>1372379
it`s not about being wrong with X or Y material, don´t be so fucking autist. is a channel about a man doing primitive stuff HIS WAY.

>>1372371
maybe because the dude is not shilling every fucking minute and his videos are pretty comfy, just a man doing primitive stuff, not pretentious, not plagiarizing other people, maybe you are just too retarded to see it´s very simple.

>>1373357
well who can dictate better content control than an unbought creator? if he never utters a word in his video, thats his choice. he wont have to advertise clash of clans or anything of that sort.

>Anything in africa is property of America.
The only thing America did of note was Liberia, a dumping ground for former slaves and all round failed state. All the rest is mostly as a result of the English, German, Portugal, Belgium, French and now China.
You really need to stop getting home-schooled

>>1373838
>Craftsmen are a luxury meme and are completely unnecessary for progress.
Its never been easier to be a handy fella in a shed, small-inventor- you can crowd source for investment, prototype shit with CNC, 3D printers, CAD software and all the modern power tools. The sole reason for humans being what they are is our ability to adapt and overcome, sure we're down in the primordial era fending off bitey man eating cats on a daily basis, but the world is changing rapidly in different areas and the tools we use to function in it are also required. Our ability to use and make tools is why we keep surviving and in the event you find yourself with nothing but your dirty dick beaters in the middle of nowhere, the ability to use basic tools competently is one that's highly desirable.

>>1374037
No he's quite possibly right, provided you mean correct information. Human progress is exponential by many metrics. The advancements we've made in the last 100 years are more impactful than those made in the 200 years before that.

>>1372371
He's thinner and more disciplined than you.

People fawn over, look up to, a college educated, disciplined, attractive and physically fit man.

>>1372371
He's doing more than you OP

>>1374002
Reread the post.
My point was that mechanization is attainable, but automation is too much for one person to reasonably achieve.

>>1374067
My point was that traditional craftsmen are for efficient production, not effective production.
Anyone can do what craftsmen do, just with more time/effort.

>>1372379

What is saturdays. Kek

>>1373035
>except for blacks and abbos on metalworking
Nah. Bantu Africans got into metalworking with iron sometime between 600 to 1000 AD and earlier with bronze IIRC. It's really just Abbos that couldn't civilization.

>>1372371

You're (>>1373849) a retarded nigger.

>>1372371
Some people find it entertaining to watch him out build all of Africa within a day. It is somewhat funny that he’s able to build better structures with random sticks and mud than what Africans today are even able to achieve.

>>1374036
He might be wrong about the America part, but the fact of the matter is Whites literally built everything of value on the continent.

Niggers never even invented the wheel in the thousands of years they were on that continent.

>>1374310
>>1373849
>>1373838
Here is the real question, is making a pole lathe for anything other than making dowels even worth it when you can do this?

>>1374315

Island niggers could manage doing it just fine, Stop being a nigger apologist.

>>1374405
>dey didn’t need no wheel in da jungle, days why dey never invented it

Not all of sub-Sahara Africa is a jungle. Living in a jungle also didn’t stop the South East Asians from discovering the wheel and building civilization.

>>1374405
you think anyone else who invented the wheel didn't have the same problems?
>trees and shit
this your argument. huh. how can any people contend with uneven terrain and trees? it's amazing we even survived as a species.

>>1372371
>Why do normies praise this guys so much?
hes attractive

>>1374631
They didn't, it was invented twice. Once in Syrian desert and once in Eurasian steppe.

>>1374658
Invented in America, too, but most of what we see it used for was toys. It reminds me of all those mechanics principles that the Romans figured out but never found productive applications for.

>>1374504
>Island niggers could manage doing it just fine by leeching off the advancements of Chinese civilization and Indian civilization
>>1374610
>Living in a jungle also didn’t stop the South East Asians from letting the Chinese and Indians discovering the wheel and building civilization off of their advances, before which they were a bunch of fucking boatniggers that could only use boats to get from point A to B even on land.
FTFY

>>1372371

I'd be more interested if he got a group together and did more stuff with the group instead of doing everything solo. You know, emulating actual history instead of just basically following instructions and building things. Watching how different people with different skills interact and compliment each other would be better and more realistic.

>>1374739
>compliment

compliment is when you tell your wife her ass isn't really that huge.

complement is when we whatever.

>>1378131
having three hands in a chemistry lab is very very helpful. Chemicals will be needed before the effective waldo's can be produced.
Yes, I understand that waldos are attainable with simple copper, steel, charcoal, clay, and sand/generic rock; the point is that making waldos is easier if you do it later.

>>1372371
It started off good, went to great, then godlike. Now it's boring as fuck

>>1378945
it's because the progress/development he showed was coincidental, his focus was always on the techniques used.

>>1372371
One of his knock-off channels is pretty awesome. "Survival Skills Primitive"
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChUP6B_3zcdFYZnOdMM21og

They started with simple stuff, an axe, knife, a couple of weapons, baskets, fish traps, etc. Then they made and fired clay pots, lime, lime concrete, bricks, a well, a water filter, a house, and most recently a fish pond.

I enjoy them.

>>1377759
look up old outdated industrial and laboratory preparation methods, they tend to be low tech and often more "renewable"
for example acetone was made by dry distilling acetate from vinegar
potassium hydroxide from lime and potash
Iodine from Algae
etc.

theoretically, you could gassify wood/biomass, make synthetic oil and work from there but the process is quite inefficient and difficult

>>1378940
It was a joke, (I assume) he meant "single person" as "not an organised workforce", but I deliberately took it as "single in terms of relationship status".

>>1372557
It's like a safety rail

>>1373127
Not for production so much, but for time spent doing this instead of time spent at a normal job, it is a big expense. Free time is never free.

>>1379108
Well considering he just bought a new plot of land I imagine he's got enough money lying around. He's also running a wordpress or something so maybe he makes ad revenue of that.

>>1377759
>how to into renewable chemistry/chemicals as a single person

Here you go:
http://cavemanchemistry.com/oldcave/

Start with fire. make charcoal. Boil seawater for salt. extract potash from ashes, calcine rocks to make quicklime, brew alcohol, ferment it further to vinegar, all fun stuff.

>>1379040
>or example acetone was made by dry distilling acetate from vinegar
but anon, what if I live inland away from both limestone and seashells?

>>1379237
Limestone is hardly exclusive to inland areas, though it's hardly everywhere. Try harvesting carbonate from inland soil or sand I guess.

>>1379122
>>1379108
Not reading the thread but I recall him saying that he bought the parcel with revenue he got primarily from YouTube. It was about $600,000.

>>1379260
https://socialblade.com/youtube/c/primitivetechnology
I guess you're right.

>>1379256
It seems like you might be able to use aquaponics and bonemeal to farm calcium carbonate.
Although the easiest, if you can control your fear/disgust/desire to kill may be snail farming.

>>1379237
>but anon, what if I live inland away from both limestone and seashells?

Then buy a fucking chicken, eat its unborn children, and use the eggshells.

Good editing--not a faggot, sensible hair cuts, beautiful physique, enjoys doing it, modest about himself.

He just does everything right.

His videos are relaxing/asmr
He's arguably handsome
His videos are at least generally informative on the topic they deal with, even if he isn't in the ideal locations for it, it's not like he's literally trying to build permanent structures for practical use.
And finally, people tend to exaggerate praise to be nice, something even most autists can understand.

It evokes something primordial in all of us. Genetic memories of spending thousands of generations in the forest living like that. I'd call it comfy, but it's the exact opposite of that, you're not comfy in the jungle. But it still feels nice of sorts. Primitive and clean.

>>1380566
>you're not comfy in the jungle
Not all the time, but in doing stuff like this (depending on your personality) you certainly might be comfy. Comfy-ness is subjective, and though the overall lifestyle of people who HAD to do stuff like this was definitely harsher than ours, that doesn't mean the parts we have the privilege to pick and choose aren't comfy, since we can always return to our clean, soft modern houses and visit a doctor if you get sick. There's reasons people like to go outdoors and play in the dirt.

>>1372379
He's alone, he doesn't have 10 people to help him lift an entire fucking tree.
Timber framing requires lifting large weights and that means cranes or at least hoists of some sort, which isn't 'primitive' technology.

Working with mud allows him to do everything on his own without modern tech.

>>1380745
>he doesn't have 10 people to help him lift an entire fucking tree
Or 2 people to pit-saw it into lumber.

>>1372371
Pure DIY, clear instructions, no commentary, no begging for subscribing or patreon money. The only shit part is he doesn't have fresh ideas anymore, almost every new video is about building a wooden/mud hut.

Vines do grow in the UK though.

I though they're native to tropical lands? At least the liana vines, which you can use as a rope replacement?

he's getting fucked by regulation iirc

he almost never takes down big trees because he's not allowed to, just like how he's not allowed to hunt for boar or those big birds that invade his gardens.

he does what he's allowed to, which is use fast growing stuff and dead wood to make stuff.

he's slowly making his way towards metallurgy by the looks of it, which is neato.

>>1393357
>he's slowly making his way towards metallurgy by the looks of it, which is neato.
For the second time. Looks like he had no trouble obtaining iron bacteria in his new location, though it might be better if he can find actual iron ore, to say nothing of the other primitive metals copper, tin, silver, and lead.

>>1393399
latest vid, he actually gets a sizable bloom of metal

What is the point in ore processing when there are billions of tons of metal sitting inside of rubble, scrap yards, and land fills?

>>1394923

whats the point of /diy/ for non-professionals?

Marxism is not a legitimate economic school.

My point is that zero human intervention, you can expect for there to be free iron readily available for a few hundred/thousand years. After which time, they'll have reverted to virtually pure powdered ore.

Why focus on the methods for an objectively inferior and unrealistic process?

>>1394961
You can use the same argument on everything he makes.
Maybe, like the other anon said, he just wants to see what he can do? Apocalypse fantasies are not necessarily involved.

There is a difference between building stupid shit, and building shit stupidly. "That is a stupid way to do X" can not be interpreted to mean "doing X is stupid".

>>1395494
Is "it's fun" not enough of a reason for you?

He's allowed to hunt for boar he's worried about upsetting the normies. Trust me, no one's worried about a dead pig in Queensland.

He probably wants to build a brick hut. He's made the lime for mortar and the mud bricks. He's made the roof tiles before too.

Although collecting enough shells for all that mortar would probably get boring real quick. Hopefully he stumbles upon an Abo midden on his property.

>>1374405
But a lot of niggers live in savannah type enviroment

He was recommended to watch on YouTube so people watched. He's doing real manly outdoorsy stuff none of them have approached, so it's like he's living a realer reality than they are. People just like knowing there's still possibilities to have some fun/danger/testosterone/challenges to overcome.

Take me for instance. I used to work at a secluded adult shop off a highway. Coworker was shot dead (but he owed drug money), others come in scoping the place to rob it, a cartel member was dropped off in my care before he went on a killing spree over his cheating wife, people flashed their wives titties, dude punched his wife over a (poor taste) joke in the parking lot, etc. People wanted me to start a blog just because they were excited that there's still some danger and excitement out there in seemingly mundane places. Beats listening to "corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking. Just a moment" 8 hours a day.

It's nothing about praise. It's just cooler than what they're doing.

>>1373838

You need to learn to make/find
>charcoal
>salt
>lime
>tar

You can start making a mud/wood hut, then make roman concrede from lime.
If you want to make homemade soap, use ashes/charcoal.
If you want to make salt, use charcoal.

Once you're done making your concrede home, you can focus on metallurgy.
Learn to make a battery using acid, copper and zinc.
If you find copper and tin, you get bronze.

Metallurgy is quite cool but actually most of human inventions revolve around the mechanization and industrialization of producing cloth.

You could also focus on producing hygiene-related stuff (something niggers still fail nowadays as they shower in cow urine): making soap, filtering and cleaning water, making a shower, latrines.

Don't forget agriculture. Another thing niggers yet failed to master as we witnessed in Rhodesia.

Basically, back then, it was a maslowian reality:
water/food, shelter, clothing, heating.
AND FIGHTING. LOTS OF WEAPONZ AND SHIET.
Fucking niggers I swear.

>charcoal
Easy mode

>tar
Distillation / tar kiln or pyrolysis

>If you want to make salt, use charcoal.
???

>Learn to make a battery using acid, copper and zinc.
Batteries were a mistake. The resources are better used towards more alternators, capacitors, and inductors. If I were restarting civilization, until I had a need for power tools or communication, I wouldn't make batteries.
Lights you say? A dynamo light with a ripcord and flywheel is much easier to make.

>Don't forget agriculture
Yeah, but once we get alternators and steelworking going good, we can just use the haber process in batches and then agriculture is easymode.

>You could also focus on producing hygiene-related stuff
Yeah, but saponification requires chemicals, and they're annoying. HOLY SHIT, turns out lye is just meme hydroxide and is easily renewable.

>>1400090
You can make salt from charcoal, one primitive gook shows it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P5LayW4aRs

As said before, lime can be made either from eggshells, snail shells or sea shells.

Tar is just a primitive form of glue, helpful in many cases
http://www.survival-manual.com/pine-tar.php

Saponification literally just requires ashes (transformed into caustic soda) and some form of fat (oil, animal fat...)
http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_ashlye.html
http://www.warnersregiment.org/Primitive%20Soap.html

To test the caustic soda, you can either test it with a small potato or test it with eggshells. If the potato drowns = it's good to go. If the eggshell disolves = good to go.

well i think the reason they never used the wheel for transportation is they build a very clever and big system of trenches and canals and used boats for everything

think of our cites where every asphalted road would be a canal would we still use wheels.?

He sort of struck gold with presentation and content. The videos are comfy, and it's fun to learn about what he covers because it all builds into the same frame. There's nothing to give you the impression he's doing it for the views or to sell or attract anything. It's basically primitive homesteading for the fuck of it, and he's showing you how to do some of it too. Not to mention handworking crude and natural tools like this is novel these days, which makes it neat for a larger audience than it might otherwise interest.

>>1402886
>think of our cites where every asphalted road would be a canal would we still use wheels.?
Venice and Amsterdam have roads, because a canals stink if there isn't enough flow, and you can't redirect rivers without a fuck ton of work.

It's just fun to watch someone make something from nothing
