I remember showing my uncle, who is a construction manager, one of the fake primitive building videos and him saying, “Imagine my construction company spending hundreds of dollars on raw materials and machinery to make cement when we could have just mixed water and dirt together.”

I would be to, like Charlie is a source you can trust MOST of the time If Logan Paul called it fake I’d most likely would think every single video is real even knowing it’s not Sources matter but both Sunny and Charlie should’ve been taken at least semi seriously
As someone who's had to dig up several large stumps, the fact that we're supposed to believe that the one guy digs that absolutely massive hole in a few hours is ridiculous. It's taken me longer to dig up SMALL stumps
any person who did dig knows that you can dig like 20-30 shovels then you need to rest a few minutes, otherwise you wont be able to work. And 20 shovels is like nothing compared to half a pool of space they dig xD
WHAT?!? You mean to tell me that two dudes in the jungle with a pointy stick didn't actually build a 5 star waterpark with working plumbing in a few days?
He looks like that guy too. yeah XD but i think its just a case of when people have the balls to look like charlie dose, its a clear sign they alls have the brains to be someone you need listen too. "they hated him for he spoke the truth"
I remember back in mid-2020 I was looking in the comments in one of these channels and I saw someone say "ah yes, step one, buy bricks from your local brick store" and the creator of the video REPLIED to it saying "no, we had a tutorial for brick making!" THE AUDACITY.
@@FreddyKruegerTheDreamDemonMaking bricks is hard using primitive inefficient furnaces. Even primitive technology had quite the trouble making only a few.
I'm astonished people didn't know they're completely fake. Everyone who ever dug a hole in their life knows that it takes a lot of time and effort even with modern shovels/spades. You can't just have two people excavate metric tons of dirt by poking the ground with a stick.
@@randomcrusader5632 no you are gullible you don’t get to say “we” to divert blame. And also being gullible and not thinking about things is exactly what is wrong with the world right now to extend this example a little further.
@Flying Kick us being human is exactly the problem, I think with my modified FEV I can advance humanity with fantastic mutations and our world shall live in peace! But on a more serious note, I don’t believe most things unless I have seen, touched, or heard them while in their presence. It was obvious most primitive technology channels other than that Australian one were fake because they had cuts in them and I know how hard it is to dig in dirt and that you can’t just make concrete from dirt and water. I don’t believe in most conspiracies but I also don’t believe in most “official stories” without obviously undeniable proof, I believe the moon landing happened but I don’t really know if the official JFK assassination story is true, maybe it was LBG, maybe the CIA, maybe it was Oswald, but that is something for example that I admit to not knowing or believing in and I move on in my day.
Yeah the primitive technology dude's always been upfront how absurdly long it takes to make the simple things he does, and the historical examples he bases his stuff on, in the captions and in his descriptions.
I think the big clue is that his projects are all fairly simple and non-contrived, he's not going out and building an entire waterpark out in the jungle somewhere, it's all little shelters and huts and stuff.
I work in the British Army, Royal Engineers. During phase 2 training, part of it was learning about trenching. Digging a 1.7 metre deep, 5 metre long and roughly 0.5 metre wide trench took the better part of an afternoon. Keep in mind this was with around 10 people all working on it, switching in and out, etc. When I saw the videos of just two men excavating vast volumes of ground with the bare minimum of tools, I immediately called bullshit. Sometimes you don't need video evidence, tracks, or stuff like that. Just go and dig a hole yourself.
And you used modern equipment to do it. They would take at least 10 times it took your 10 people to do the same work doing it morning and afternoon and that doesn't take into account food of any kind. Digging is hard af and the amount of calories and tools breaking under primitive conditions would slow everything down slightly still. So, yea, if you ever dug without machines you know how much faster they are. It's stupid how much faster they are.
I spent 3 days in infantry FTX digging a single Foxhole with gun 3 of weapon’s team. Gathering cover and concealment, replacing dead foliage and of course digging and shaping the hole to a fucking 240. Yeah you can spot the bs from a mile away in these videos
This is why the majority of digging you see in John Plant's Primitive Technology channel are only minimal, and if he's digging big holes, it's mainly to just get clay for brick/pottery work
Charlie radiates "disappointed but caring parent" energy right here, I found out about this controversy just recently but I wasn't deep enough into it to really care though witnessing this I-told-you-so moment is like being called in by your mom before you know what your in trouble for
To be fair there really isn't much stopping everyone from having decent homes for relatively cheap except that a bunch of rich landlords and corporations just buy up all the houses and sell them at a much higher rate. Also, the fact that architects don't often build low-income housing as they can just build expensive homes and make more money.
@@eitantal726 "Easy" isn't exactly the right word to use. The supposed (and fake) method requires a massive amount of physical effort. Effort that very VERY few people are willing to give.
I love primitive technology. Been watching that dude for years. The thing is... no-one would ever call him fake. He's not doing ridiculous buildings. The whole point is that he wants to take a break from modern life sometimes and live like primitive humans for a bit. Not to mention he shows pretty much everything he does.
And by the way, cement (a core component of concrete) is made from limestone and clay. Clay is a rather common soil type (not that the stuff he was digging up from the river seemed like clay...), but just clay is not enough to make cement, let alone concrete. Interestingly you can build somewhat permanent housing out of clay. Early civilizations did so a LOT. Primitive Technology also makes some great stuff out of clay. But yeah, I saw like one of those fake channels, I believe it was some video where they made a pool, and I instantly blocked it and decided one "life of primitive humans" channel was enough for me.
Oh for sure. I build different things for a living, i work in a carpentry shop type deal and the way they show how they do certain things or how things end up looking when they're done it's pretty obvious to tell that they needed power tools or machinery of some sort to get it done. There's just no way you could pull some of these builds off with nothing but your hands, the natural stuff around you and the sheer man power. No way lol
Dude, it never even clicked in my head that it was supposed to be cement. I thought were just using mud to have a liquid diet for better sealing or some shit. Always sat there and thought to myself "real shame that it's all gonna wash away the first time it rains."
@@inateinate well exactly lol you can't use regular mud or whatever to build anything solid that's gonna last. Just the whole way that they do things doesn't make any sense if you're familiar with building things and even just novice construction work.
Imagine just grabbing a handful of mud from a river, taking it to sun and expecting concrete strength. Our ancestors would have advanced much faster if they had such magic.
Putting aside the whole primitive building drama; this situation with Charlie initially being ignored really shows the power of a constructed and scripted video, more specifically a video essay opposed to an unformulated rant. When a TH-camr puts their argument in a format like sunny does it becomes alot easier to buy into. Really shows how the landscape of the Internet shifts depending on how certain opinions are put across in certain ways.
@@Bettersucksaul got an email that says it's from an insider Wouldn't even surprise me if the email is fake as well just to finally call out the fakes xD
A little different of a situation, but kind of like what happened to Leafy from Idubbbz content cop vid. A well put together video can do a lot of damage.
To the people who think that digging a 10 ft hole is possible in a few hours with sticks and bare hands should try it, you'll find yourself giving up before even reaching 5 feet by the end of the day. 😂
if it was easy to dig 10 ft hole then serial killers would dig 30 ft holes and they'd never find the bodies. But it's not easy. They usually give up and settle for 3-4 footer makeshift grave which is easily detected by dogs. I mean, they are pretty determined to not get caught right? So why they dig so shallow graves? It's because it's fucking hard to do without mechanical tools. If you tried to dig a hole you propably realize that sooner or later you hit a rock. Then a bigger rock. Then even bigger rock. Eventually you are running into rocks that are 2 feet in diameter and weigh about as much as yourself. You're not getting past that without tools.
No kidding. I was helping my uncle and cousin in digging a long, 1 meter deep hole to my grandma's house for the purpose of implementing a water system which came from a borehole and it took us HOURS just to get to the house, and additional hours to get the right depth. We were using SHOVELS and we were 3 people (me, my brother and cousin, my uncle was doing some drilling by the house). All the wet clay that started appearing at the 40cm mark alone was just HELL.
Just ask anyone who served in military and ask how much time they spend digging body height trenches. A nice and not tiring at all experience lmao just like in minecraft
the funniest part about all of this is when you think about what actually happened here, basically a group of guys dug a bunch of holes using modern equipment and hundreds of millions of people were like "wow, amazing!"
For anyone interested, there's a castle being built in France called Guedelon. It's being built with only medieval tools. It's the largest archaeological experiment happening, going on for...about a decade? Maybe longer. There's a series posted on here called Secrets of the Castle. Pretty much everything is done as it would have been done in medieval times, though there are some exceptions--namely modern health and safety standards.
@@upendownlinker It's due to be completed in 2023, and is now making money from tourist visits. From what I just Google'd, it makes about five million annually. It's a project that appears to fund itself.
Contrary to most comments I actually didnt know these videos were fake, most of the time i would see these videos at like 3:40am while being half-sleep and being like "yeah thats a cool pool" without thinking alot about it
Some of them are real. If a dude is just building a hut and a fire maybe a shallow well, it's probably real. If a dude made a whole aquaducted system into a giant pool, it was bullshit lol
@9:24 - concrete is a mix of aggregate (sand and gravel) with a binder (cement). Cement is actually pretty difficult to make in large quantities, because it's typically slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), which is made by burning and wetting limestone or sail/mollusk shells. You can also get very small amounds of it from the ashes of burnt smallbrush, but it's very innefficient because you have to burn it twice.
Tbh, you'd have a lot better luck trying to make a buildimg out of adobe than fired bricks and just using the same mixture minus the straw as your mortar.
I heard that there are companies in China which have emptied Indian beaches to make it, and while this could be completely made up, it alone suggests how concrete is becoming harder and harder to make from the rarity of sand Is this a thing? Is the sand needed for concrete being used up?
Watching Charlie get more and more flabbergasted by no one believing him when he said it is the definition of “the bee’s knees” Very enjoyable, quality content
It’s hilarious because the dirt they’re “digging” is always perfectly soft like it’s had a tiller used on it. Using hilarious shovels and not spades. And yet it’s so light and easy to do. Then I can’t believe they believe these people find crystal clear water and somehow drain it across a flat terrain with bamboo. Anyone who’s ever dug a big hole knows it’s BS
Anyone who’s even tried to dig a fucking hole will know how difficult it is to dig a hole, it’s surprisingly difficult to do so on ground worthy for construction
We have to dig 5 feet post holes with 12 inch diameter at my job and sometimes one hole will take me 30 minutes with a shovel, post hole digger, and spud bar. I don’t think they are digging a whole underground mansion in a weekend lmao
9:10 You can, kind of! Cob is a mixture of sand, clay and straw (basically adobe with a different consistency) that's a pretty good insulator and can be molded into shapes (search 'cob house' for some YT examples). But in the end it's still basically mud, so 1. you need to coat it with plaster or it'll crumble after the first rain, and 2. it can't withstand a lot of weight so most of the larger structures you see in the fake channels would be a no go
Poor people build their houses like that in the rural Andes without plaster or anything. That's a dry climate nothing like the SEA jungle where this is built (never mind using it for a pool FILLED WITH WATER), and it still doesn't last as long as a brick house. There are also mud constructions in places like Mali and Iran that have stood over 1000 years, I don't know what additional steps they used, but those are also very dry places.
Remember, just because someone doesn’t make a whole well-scripted speech about something doesn’t mean they’re wrong. A minute long rant can be just as effective as a 30-minute video. Edit: What I mean by this is as long as they have evidence, it doesn’t matter how it’s presented.
@@Inconzii exactly. The difference between Charlie’s rant and Sunny’s video is that one gave a structured argument as to why they’re right while the other is less of that and more of an intuition
It’s insane Twitchchat would bite Charlie’s head off about this. He’s not a stupid guy and they look incredibly fake. It’s the same sort of fake vibe as pouring sprite in a hole and pulling out a boa constrictor.
I mean, are you surprised? There are normal people, there are stupid, and then there are Charlie's fans that repeat the exact same jokes for years and steal it from each other. It wouldn't be exaggeration to say they're nearly brainless, so there's a huge gap between Charlie and what fans he has. I guess it's just a curse of being one of the most popular youtubers/twitch streamers.
It's not as bad as the day his chat kept defending a channel that was making videos with hamster, putting them in potentially dangerous situations and extremely stressful ones, charlie pointed the ridiculous cut the channel made to make them not look so bad but the idiots used completely different hamsters to show that the hamster that fell from the bridge actually fell on a soft surface, I really can't believe anyone would look at those clips and be like "this seems legit", and even be angry towards someone that is pointing a possible animal abuse situation
As someone who is currently working to build a cabin with his dad, and we had to buy a $10k backhoe which has already broken and cost us $4k to buy a flatbed to haul it out for repairs, yeah, you aren't building this shit by hand with two guys.
@@barnabyjones5161 theyre building a cabin which means they already have a home and plus they probably own the land that the cabin in being built on which- taxes,, im sure they’re not hurting for money.
You don't need a 12 minute analysis video for this. You could tell it's fake the second you see their upload frequency. You can't physically get that much work done in a timeframe like that without using modern machinery off-screen.
I like hearing that Charlie had his feelings hurt for no reason other than it’s good to express that openly. I also think it’s insane how you could look at more than one of these videos with insane excavation and say it was done by like 3 guys. Nutty people on these websites man.
I think its more people wanting to believe in the extraordinary than being actually stupid ( at least a few of them haha) My wife and I sat down and watched one of these building videos dismissing them as phony, however the creators do complete some of the segments of the video in convincing ways and with convincing cuts my wife said that the cement making process was fake and I claimed "wow thats the part you thought was fake ? what about the rest of it if anything that was the most realistic part they used to make adobo bricks in ancient sumer!" but I digress my point is theres so much unbelivable shit that goes on in the world and that people ARE legitamely capable of the this just seems relatively possible even if its absurd once analyzed more in depth.
Twitch chat is collectively retarded and people say the absolute most mind-numbingly stupid shit there unironically and with a straight face. Something about it attracts the most smooth-brained shoe-size-IQ takes.
They didn't believe Charlie at first because he was explaining it on stream, instead of them finding a well edited video that spoonfeeds them information that Charlie already gave to them at the time they wanted too.
I feel genuinely sorry for Charlie being laughed at and people not listening until someone else says it. It's obvious he's hurt. Love you Charlie, I believed you!
Shout out to the moist man himself. He is a very smart guy and he constantly admits when he was wrong and continues to grow. He knew these were fake but he still is able to admit he didn't see some of the inconsistencies shown in sunny's video. Takes in perspective while also being realistic. Hard to come by.
I can only imagine how hurt his feelings were when no one believed him until someone else pointed out the same thing with the same evidence. And yet, he remained forgiveful. Honestly, I'd rant viciously at my audience if I was in his position even if it isn't nice.
I know i would though. The champ goes through all that and even basic people would know 2x2 is 4. But no his audiance is "smart" and says that its actually 5 even if on screen evidence says it isn't. I mean i like some channels but even i can smell most basic crap that they make and connect the dots that maybe, just maybe they aren't exatcly good content creator
as a child who grew up trying to build concrete walls with a wheelbarrow and homemade mud, I would've immediately debunked these videos if I ever watched them
Thanks. The archaeologist in me was screaming every time they just neatly excavated huge chunks of earth in seemingly just a few hours, because I've done enough back-breaking shovelling to know how long that shit takes, even with a large group and a digger on site.
Anyone who has had to dig holes in or near forests would know instantly that was fake without any other evidence required. What happens is that you hit large rocks and roots every few inches which forces you to stop and hack away at the roots or dig around the rock and drag it out. Sometimes it is a very large rock and it is a massive pain to get it out. What is even worse is when there are roots entangled into large rocks and it is just a nightmare. You want to dig a two foot hole? Prepare to spend hours.
Somehow I already felt something was fishy about two guys being able to build all these structures in the span of a few days. Digging is suprisingly hard so I at least assumed they had an entire team to help them out.
You know how Archeologists were like creaming their pants over Aztec ruins, imagine decades later the confusion of those Archeologists seeing random Primitive building shit.

It makes you appreciate how hard work it was back then for something so simple

I watched one of these back when they were starting to get popular, I remember seeing them literally using cable ties after pretending to lash them together with vines. On the concrete point, Primitive Technology himself actually made concrete pretty recently using snail shells. Which is a mutli-day and fairly dangerous process (he gave himself minor chemical burns from the calcium hydroxide he made).
I feel bad for Charlie, his chat is so mean to him sometimes. He looked and sounded really hurt when he realized that no one believed him till someone else said something about it. He had the same points and the same evidence aswell as Sunny. :/
People decided to believe him now because the video convinced a large amount of people which further questions themselves if they were really wrong despite the irrefutable evidence Charlie showed before the video got posted.
Bro those trenches they're digging are EXTREMELY dangerous. You can't just dig vertical walls into the dirt. Huge risk of collapse and potential injury.
Also I could definitely see some animal or person running into the hole and breaking their neck at the bottom. A random deep hole in the middle of the woods isn’t exactly the safest thing haha.
Wow, the primitive construction channels are so talented that they managed to build a working excavator out of nothing but sticks, stones, and some rocks! Crazy stuff, I always knew they were legit but didn't expect them to go so far to make their creations.
I feel like if they were actually honest about how they build stuff, I’d actually enjoy their content. Nothing wrong with going out with your boys and some industrial equipment and making some cool shit. But lying about it isn’t cool.
I remember watching a video about Primitive Technology and how he was on his way to being a classic TH-cam success story but then it all got ruined by these copy cat channels who weren't even original enough to come up with their own names. They swooped in and crushed all his channel growth by stealing views because their names were similar and the algorithm sent searchers to their channels and not his, and people just abandoned him to watch these posers who use huge teams and construction equipment because their projects were more elaborate and they use clickbait tactics. The Primitive Technology guy is the GOAT.

I’d say it also depends on how you spread that information to other people. I think that no matter how good your arguments are you’ll always lose some credibility on live streams because of more chaotic arguments, less time to think, no script etc.

I knew those videos were fake because some of those videos claimed that they were doing these projects in California... even though they are clearly in a jungle/rainforest. For those who might not know, there are no jungles in California. Southern California is dry as a bone, Central California is flat grassland and Northern California is temperate forest.
Yeah, I was looking at the about page on one of the channels the other day and they claimed they were building their projects in a, "privately owned jungle in California". I just laughed.
The closest thing that you can even get to having jungles in California is the jungle biomes in zoos, even then there's still no way that those videos were real even in the slightest

@@elbolainas4174 I am the same; the copycats started being recommended to me and I immediately was put off by how they seemed focussed on impressing us by making showy but impractical structures instead of educating us on how people throughout history made a living for themselves without access to modern tools and conveniences. They seem to love building ‘primitive’ swimming pools, but all I can think of when they do is the number of mosquitoes would spawn from a pool of standing freshwater in a tropical climate.
Nobody mentioned one thing. 1m³ soil wheigst between 1.3 and 1,8 tons. The soil in the video is dense. Lets say 1.6t. 5:22 This small hole is at least 9 m³. Thats are 14,4 t. Thats 360 whellbarrows. Diged with bare hands. The soil moved somewhere and piled up. The bulk density is much lower so they had to pike up a mountain somewhere. And they even make much larger holes. Such a project would takes years for one guy. Never ever.

My girlfriend Is SO into these videos and asks me to build something like this with her for fun. I've tried to explain to her that there is no way "that one guy" built that with a stick in the middle of the jungle by himself. It's like when you're a little kid and your friends and you think digging an underground tunnel system between each others houses so that you can sneak back and forth is a great idea
I’m amazed how anyone could ever think this was real. Do people no longer do any outdoors activity? Even digging a small ditch will absolutely kill you.

They loooove their primitive building channels and yes they are the kind of people who also believe everything they see and hear online.

Sometimes, we gain entertainment from dense people.
I remember back in mid-2020 I was looking in the comments in one of these channels and I saw someone say "ah yes, step one, buy bricks from your local brick store" and the creator of the video REPLIED to it saying "no, we had a tutorial for brick making!" THE AUDACITY.
Well I mean you can make your own bricks lmao it's not impossible
@@FreddyKruegerTheDreamDemonMaking bricks is hard using primitive inefficient furnaces. Even primitive technology had quite the trouble making only a few.
that might actually be the original dude. like the guy that was completely honest. if you watched the sunnyv2 video, but i forgot his name
I'm astonished people didn't know they're completely fake. Everyone who ever dug a hole in their life knows that it takes a lot of time and effort even with modern shovels/spades.
You can't just have two people excavate metric tons of dirt by poking the ground with a stick.
This is a fantastic argument for getting kids playing outside. 5 minute crafts seems to prey on some of this too (like Jenna Marbles's jeans chair).
My skin was coming off just by digging few inches into the ground. And they made a whole swimming pool with sticks 😹😹
We’re gullible okay, and they’re entertaining videos, you just don’t think it through and don’t think that someone would fake something like that

But on a more serious note, I don’t believe most things unless I have seen, touched, or heard them while in their presence. It was obvious most primitive technology channels other than that Australian one were fake because they had cuts in them and I know how hard it is to dig in dirt and that you can’t just make concrete from dirt and water. I don’t believe in most conspiracies but I also don’t believe in most “official stories” without obviously undeniable proof, I believe the moon landing happened but I don’t really know if the official JFK assassination story is true, maybe it was LBG, maybe the CIA, maybe it was Oswald, but that is something for example that I admit to not knowing or believing in and I move on in my day.

He's the og. He was the first guy to ever do it. Every other channel is a fake clone.
I think the big clue is that his projects are all fairly simple and non-contrived, he's not going out and building an entire waterpark out in the jungle somewhere, it's all little shelters and huts and stuff.

Same with addy
I work in the British Army, Royal Engineers. During phase 2 training, part of it was learning about trenching. Digging a 1.7 metre deep, 5 metre long and roughly 0.5 metre wide trench took the better part of an afternoon. Keep in mind this was with around 10 people all working on it, switching in and out, etc. When I saw the videos of just two men excavating vast volumes of ground with the bare minimum of tools, I immediately called bullshit. Sometimes you don't need video evidence, tracks, or stuff like that. Just go and dig a hole yourself.
And you used modern equipment to do it. They would take at least 10 times it took your 10 people to do the same work doing it morning and afternoon and that doesn't take into account food of any kind. Digging is hard af and the amount of calories and tools breaking under primitive conditions would slow everything down slightly still.
So, yea, if you ever dug without machines you know how much faster they are. It's stupid how much faster they are.
I spent 3 days in infantry FTX digging a single Foxhole with gun 3 of weapon’s team. Gathering cover and concealment, replacing dead foliage and of course digging and shaping the hole to a fucking 240. Yeah you can spot the bs from a mile away in these videos
Nice pfp :)
This is why the majority of digging you see in John Plant's Primitive Technology channel are only minimal, and if he's digging big holes, it's mainly to just get clay for brick/pottery work
That's the point... Most people will never dog one

"Suck the dirtiest part of my ass" is the only thing that doesn't feel like something a disappointed parent would say.
How to know it's fake: If it was so easy to build luxurious homes like that, Everyone would have one.
To be fair there really isn't much stopping everyone from having decent homes for relatively cheap except that a bunch of rich landlords and corporations just buy up all the houses and sell them at a much higher rate. Also, the fact that architects don't often build low-income housing as they can just build expensive homes and make more money.

I love primitive technology. Been watching that dude for years. The thing is... no-one would ever call him fake. He's not doing ridiculous buildings. The whole point is that he wants to take a break from modern life sometimes and live like primitive humans for a bit. Not to mention he shows pretty much everything he does.
And by the way, cement (a core component of concrete) is made from limestone and clay. Clay is a rather common soil type (not that the stuff he was digging up from the river seemed like clay...), but just clay is not enough to make cement, let alone concrete. Interestingly you can build somewhat permanent housing out of clay. Early civilizations did so a LOT. Primitive Technology also makes some great stuff out of clay.
But yeah, I saw like one of those fake channels, I believe it was some video where they made a pool, and I instantly blocked it and decided one "life of primitive humans" channel was enough for me.

There's just no way you could pull some of these builds off with nothing but your hands, the natural stuff around you and the sheer man power. No way lol
Dude, it never even clicked in my head that it was supposed to be cement. I thought were just using mud to have a liquid diet for better sealing or some shit. Always sat there and thought to myself "real shame that it's all gonna wash away the first time it rains."

Ah yes, the ancient technique of gathering concrete. Not even the Aztecs were advanced enough, to blend the perfect mix of coarse Earth.

To the people who think that digging a 10 ft hole is possible in a few hours with sticks and bare hands should try it, you'll find yourself giving up before even reaching 5 feet by the end of the day. 😂
if it was easy to dig 10 ft hole then serial killers would dig 30 ft holes and they'd never find the bodies. But it's not easy. They usually give up and settle for 3-4 footer makeshift grave which is easily detected by dogs. I mean, they are pretty determined to not get caught right? So why they dig so shallow graves? It's because it's fucking hard to do without mechanical tools.
If you tried to dig a hole you propably realize that sooner or later you hit a rock. Then a bigger rock. Then even bigger rock. Eventually you are running into rocks that are 2 feet in diameter and weigh about as much as yourself. You're not getting past that without tools.
No kidding. I was helping my uncle and cousin in digging a long, 1 meter deep hole to my grandma's house for the purpose of implementing a water system which came from a borehole and it took us HOURS just to get to the house, and additional hours to get the right depth. We were using SHOVELS and we were 3 people (me, my brother and cousin, my uncle was doing some drilling by the house). All the wet clay that started appearing at the 40cm mark alone was just HELL.
Some people just never read ‘holes’ when they were younger
You won’t reach 5 feet that’s a fact. It’s hilarious how twitch chat has never dug a hole which says something in itself.
Just ask anyone who served in military and ask how much time they spend digging body height trenches. A nice and not tiring at all experience lmao just like in minecraft
"I accept your apology, but I told you so."
That's actually a really wholesome 'Gotcha!' Moment.
the funniest part about all of this is when you think about what actually happened here, basically a group of guys dug a bunch of holes using modern equipment and hundreds of millions of people were like "wow, amazing!"
For anyone interested, there's a castle being built in France called Guedelon. It's being built with only medieval tools. It's the largest archaeological experiment happening, going on for...about a decade? Maybe longer. There's a series posted on here called Secrets of the Castle. Pretty much everything is done as it would have been done in medieval times, though there are some exceptions--namely modern health and safety standards.

Poor Charlie, man. The chat gone and done him dirty.
@9:24 - concrete is a mix of aggregate (sand and gravel) with a binder (cement). Cement is actually pretty difficult to make in large quantities, because it's typically slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), which is made by burning and wetting limestone or sail/mollusk shells. You can also get very small amounds of it from the ashes of burnt smallbrush, but it's very innefficient because you have to burn it twice.
Tbh, you'd have a lot better luck trying to make a buildimg out of adobe than fired bricks and just using the same mixture minus the straw as your mortar.
I heard that there are companies in China which have emptied Indian beaches to make it, and while this could be completely made up, it alone suggests how concrete is becoming harder and harder to make from the rarity of sand
Is this a thing? Is the sand needed for concrete being used up?

It’s hilarious because the dirt they’re “digging” is always perfectly soft like it’s had a tiller used on it. Using hilarious shovels and not spades. And yet it’s so light and easy to do. Then I can’t believe they believe these people find crystal clear water and somehow drain it across a flat terrain with bamboo. Anyone who’s ever dug a big hole knows it’s BS
Anyone who's dug even a relatively medium sized hole can say the same
Anyone who’s even tried to dig a fucking hole will know how difficult it is to dig a hole, it’s surprisingly difficult to do so on ground worthy for construction
as someone who was That Kid that dug holes in the dirt with sticks during recess I can confirm that it is absolutely not that easy
We need kids to dig more holes. Not for construction etc. just for fun.

We call this creature the Kubota, don't get too close
9:10 You can, kind of! Cob is a mixture of sand, clay and straw (basically adobe with a different consistency) that's a pretty good insulator and can be molded into shapes (search 'cob house' for some YT examples). But in the end it's still basically mud, so 1. you need to coat it with plaster or it'll crumble after the first rain, and 2. it can't withstand a lot of weight so most of the larger structures you see in the fake channels would be a no go
Poor people build their houses like that in the rural Andes without plaster or anything. That's a dry climate nothing like the SEA jungle where this is built (never mind using it for a pool FILLED WITH WATER), and it still doesn't last as long as a brick house. There are also mud constructions in places like Mali and Iran that have stood over 1000 years, I don't know what additional steps they used, but those are also very dry places.
Isn’t Cob a bit more complex than sand claw and straw?
From my history class ten years ago I thought there were some cow shit and other stuff in there

Thanks. The archaeologist in me was screaming every time they just neatly excavated huge chunks of earth in seemingly just a few hours, because I've done enough back-breaking shovelling to know how long that shit takes, even with a large group and a digger on site.
Smh Archaeology
yay archaeology
nice archaeology

Anyone who has had to dig holes in or near forests would know instantly that was fake without any other evidence required. What happens is that you hit large rocks and roots every few inches which forces you to stop and hack away at the roots or dig around the rock and drag it out. Sometimes it is a very large rock and it is a massive pain to get it out. What is even worse is when there are roots entangled into large rocks and it is just a nightmare. You want to dig a two foot hole? Prepare to spend hours.

Somehow I already felt something was fishy about two guys being able to build all these structures in the span of a few days. Digging is suprisingly hard so I at least assumed they had an entire team to help them out.

Man, I'm glad primitive technology is legit, he was the first channel I ever watched, and I loved it. I hated all the copycat channels that followed. I liked the channels that focus on the primitive methods, it's interesting to see how things like Bricks, and Blacksmithing were done to make the tools we now use today. It makes you appreciate how hard work it was back then for something so simple

That’s just twitch chat being dumb like always
I always wondered what happened to all the buildings they create.... Like they're always in the middle of the forest building giant homes/pools
the pools must be such a safety hazard for wildlife..
They're just left to disintegrate, sadly.
I was pretty ignorant and gullible enough to believe that a bunch of these videos were legitimately real, it’s a good thing that there’s a handful of primitive building channels left that stay legitimate.

I remember watching charlie debunk it on stream and acc being mind blown by the damages left by these people; the half empty water holes & other structures that were left behind & were death traps to wildlife in the area.
I didn’t watch Charlie’s stream but kudos to him! Charlie’s always so straightforward with his opinions and never afraid of speaking what he believes and apologizing when needed. Great video!
@Jeff Talbot him being him is quality content
You could copy and paste this to every video of his and it would still be true👍
For the tire track thing, of course the video is fake but I could see why people would think it was naturally formed (specifically the 8:10 part).
Moral of the story: never question Charlie’s wisdom
Funny part is these builds look so damn good they could’ve showed the process WITH the construction vehicles and it would’ve been a good video

Why would he be afraid of that? Makes no sense.
When I was watching the fake ones I got tired of seeing them because they were also building stupid and useless structures.
I watched one of these back when they were starting to get popular, I remember seeing them literally using cable ties after pretending to lash them together with vines.
On the concrete point, Primitive Technology himself actually made concrete pretty recently using snail shells. Which is a mutli-day and fairly dangerous process (he gave himself minor chemical burns from the calcium hydroxide he made).
The lye burns he got from handling mortar show this stuff is not to be messed with.
Nah man why didn't he just fish some cinderblock goop out a river smh
@@paulsd9255 it also PROVES it is real in some cases

Wow, the primitive construction channels are so talented that they managed to build a working excavator out of nothing but sticks, stones, and some rocks! Crazy stuff, I always knew they were legit but didn't expect them to go so far to make their creations.
How did it was powered tho?
Hamster wheel?
yes.
Reminds me of the Dave the Barbarian scene. "Thinking quickly, Dave made a megaphone out of a squirrel, some rope and a megaphone."
I feel like if they were actually honest about how they build stuff, I’d actually enjoy their content. Nothing wrong with going out with your boys and some industrial equipment and making some cool shit. But lying about it isn’t cool.

I remember watching a video about Primitive Technology and how he was on his way to being a classic TH-cam success story but then it all got ruined by these copy cat channels who weren't even original enough to come up with their own names. They swooped in and crushed all his channel growth by stealing views because their names were similar and the algorithm sent searchers to their channels and not his, and people just abandoned him to watch these posers who use huge teams and construction equipment because their projects were more elaborate and they use clickbait tactics. The Primitive Technology guy is the GOAT.
The primitive technology guy got me interested in experimental archaeology. Love that guy.
also because primitive tech uploads once in a year while the other channels pump out shit videos for the algorithm
He began to build civilization, but different kinds of people came in and ruined it.
I’ve watched my father dig a small trench with just a shovel so he could plant bamboo properly. I definitely didn’t believe them being able to do that with such small tools in a small amount of time.

The worst consequence of these videos is the devastation on the environment, I imagine it can be quite a drowning hazard for wildlife.
Also, I couldn't imagine the amount of mosquitos that multiple pools of stagnant water, in the middle of a jungle, would produce.
@@LetsGoFlyers2011 imagine if we could figure out how much malaria has been spread as a result of these videos, eh? How many mosquitos were spawned in the stagnant water and spread disease to other people?

7:25 i might be wrong but fire doesn't just explode everywhere after touching wood. This means they were too lazy to wait for the fire to start up and just poured flammable liquid all over the wood.
So true
tbh it says a lot about how people will trust FIGURES over SOURCES. a guy most people consider to be 'entertaining' is shot down and told he doesnt know what hes talking about. . . until somebody people consider 'informative' comes along and says the exact same shit with the exact same credible sources. blind faith at its unfinest 😩 only thing worse is when '''informative''' people say wrong shit that nobody questions lol
*_It's always has been, since the start of Civilization._*
We will rather listen to some Scum in Power, Celebrities, Kings, Politicians, Prime Ministers, Presidents, Emperor, and Famous retarded Brats than some nobody, unpopular, peasants or "irrelevant" people.
Edit: And these people claim their selves to be "free" yet here they are...
I’d say it also depends on how you spread that information to other people. I think that no matter how good your arguments are you’ll always lose some credibility on live streams because of more chaotic arguments, less time to think, no script etc.
Story of my life. Even with the best sources and presentation at my disposal, my parents wouldn't listen to me because apparently I'm a stupid kid, but will believe someone their age or older who says _the exact same thing_ I'm trying to tell them. Every time I call them out on this has been met with defeaning silence.
@in all of life there is rhythm Nowadays, I just keep my mouth shut because it's a waste of time and energy. When my parents ask "why didn't you tell us this?" I answer, "you wouldn't believe me anyway, because according to you I'm a dumb little kid who doesn't know what he's talking about."
there's no such thing as a credible source, all sources are the same including my crazy uncle Dave
I knew those videos were fake because some of those videos claimed that they were doing these projects in California... even though they are clearly in a jungle/rainforest. For those who might not know, there are no jungles in California. Southern California is dry as a bone, Central California is flat grassland and Northern California is temperate forest.
Exactly, the climate doesn't match.
Yeah, I was looking at the about page on one of the channels the other day and they claimed they were building their projects in a, "privately owned jungle in California".
I just laughed.
The closest thing that you can even get to having jungles in California is the jungle biomes in zoos, even then there's still no way that those videos were real even in the slightest
Looks like most fake primitive videos are take place somewhere in Southeast Asia, India, or some other region that has many rainforests, because it often shows the native plants from that region
Why would they lie about being in California? That's a bit random isn't it?
I like watching the videos of the guys “surviving”. I love how people completely disregard the fact that they have to,like, take care of the cameras
they are using bamboo electricity 🤫
Primitive Skills is also real, no camera cuts and just a guy straightup filming himself building stuff.
I came to the comments looking for someone that knows how primitive skills is a totally legit, no BS, and true to the style guy... obviously inspired by primitive technology. I also kind of find it interesting how P.S. even went further on the tech tree than P.T. on the year long hiatus that he took trying to get that TV deal going, I wonder if P.T. will ever catch up to him.
Love both channels to the bone, and despise with all my heart all the low-effort spinoff fakers out there.
Jesus Christ: *tells everyone that he is the son of God but no one believed him until it was too late

Primitive Technology was the first ever primitive building youtube channel that I found interesting to watch, and I'm glad its legit
Same for me, after discovering him yt started to show me a lot of the other rip offs in the recommendations (many from the fake ones) but there was something off that made me don't even thinking about watching them and I stayed loyal to the original one.
If you've watched enough PT episodes, doubting its legitimacy is just stupid or looking for nothinburger drama.
@@elbolainas4174 I am the same; the copycats started being recommended to me and I immediately was put off by how they seemed focussed on impressing us by making showy but impractical structures instead of educating us on how people throughout history made a living for themselves without access to modern tools and conveniences.
They seem to love building ‘primitive’ swimming pools, but all I can think of when they do is the number of mosquitoes would spawn from a pool of standing freshwater in a tropical climate.

Most of Charlie's viewers come from other countries like the Philippines. They loooove their primitive building channels and yes they are the kind of people who also believe everything they see and hear online. Remember all those dumb videos where people would put some animal in a hole, then pretend like pouring stuff into it attracted the animal so they can grab it with their hands and pull it out???

I like how my sister showed me one of these videos and told me how impressed she was by it all. But my immediate question was wondering why anyone was doing this and what they did with what they built after completion. Lo and behold, I was right in assuming they just build these worthless, pointless pools and then just… leave them out there in the wilderness to wither away and be retaken by nature. What a weird trend.
Imagine walking around in the woods and find these
It's about the money, the path taken to get that money is irrelevant.
Imagine if they spent half the resources to make those pools and made fun stuff like that for disenfranchised communities rather than just literally letting it rot and go to waste.
Honestly, the point or lack of point of the buildings is not really the concern here. Like, you could say that about literally any piece of art.
