Heyyyy
Hi
Alright I love the videos, but it’s weird when I upload when you do and when you cast too
love your videos
yo I was expecting myself to be start hunting with the muskets but none arrived in the mail smh
Just for the future, if you mix ash with sap, it make an extremely strong adhesive. The only thing is, in order to use it, it must be applied while hot from a fire. Everyone like so he can see!
lunch box Best reply in the comment section
I think he probably knew that, from the amount of me stressing out the usage of resin glue on the discord server. If you wanna join, google "htme discord".
I remember seeing a video about the first type of glue and that its made from sap and ash
I think he’s seen it.
*P R I M I T I V E H O T G L U E*
If that "hemp" really is someone's personal garden I wonder what they'll think when they notice a few stalks missing but ALL the leaves just strewn about on the ground
Hemp in just Cannabis
9S - Yeah, but hemp is the name for strains that are bred to use in textiles and don't really have much in the way of THC or other cannabinoids.

Try adding a little bit of ground charcoal to the pine sap, this will make for a much stronger bond.
And plant fibers unfortunately the best source of those are herbivore droppings
@@Shadow-gc6le Those hemp fibers are actually pretty strong, i don't think he will have too many problems
@@superblast39 no for the glue it gives it more structure and makes it stronger the hemp rope is defiantly a decent cord for holding everything together
@@Shadow-gc6le you can just crush plants if you want to make a compound material like that. Herbivore droppings are more work than they're worth, and they are unsanitary.
@@Shadow-gc6le Yeah but nothing too gross, something like bunny droppings works really well. when it isn't fresh it just feels like dirt. nothing to be grossed out about.
Oh man, can't wait to watch Episode 2 of the live action Dr. Stone adaptation
Lol was gonna say the same
Episode 9's ending was badass
@@ShuTheIdiot what happened? couldnt continue it i wanna continue ;-;

I love your channel and can’t wait until you get to plastics
as a factorio player, plastics is a pain in the ass to get
@@monad_tcp How do you get plastics?
"Hello everyone today I'm going to be extracting oil using this oil rig i built"
@@fomalhaut_the_great oh shit.
@@sciblastofficial9833 by drilling for oil , then you refine it by slowly boiling the crude oil, then you get naphtha from one of the fractions, then you polymerize with carbon by mixing it with coal powder and using sulfur as catalyst, then you bake it in the oven. then you grind and melt in a fillament for you 3D printer
Anyone else appreciate the fact the ad actually took effort to make?
Not when my 6 and 7 year olds were watching
(Ps, not disagreeing, just commenting a lot to point out to channel that axes into faces might not be appropriate for this awesome educational content that I am enjoying sharing with my boys so they can have at least some appreciation for how easy their life is)
@@RavenSelenite You could have just skipped over the adds.
i liked it very much!
@@RavenSelenite this isn't disney channel
No
You should try and make a 3 by 3 crafting table from a few oak planks. That should give you quite the boost in crafting capabilities.
Yes
@@Joseph-fn8cz yes
You went for the easy joke, and succeeded.

Let’s gooo, this is an amazing way to bring the channel
i know it’s a lot more interesting now that they have a set line of things they will be making
Jay Tuber yeah, now I know what to expect and it gives a complete story instead of jumping around eras
Hey look, I got a ❤️ from HTME for the first time
Just like they brought back the wild "hemp" plant from last episode
ZideYT2 yeah, it was probably weed but that’s not something you “stumble” upon
Just make a furnace with 8 cobblestone smh
Instead of grinding the stone manually against another stone, use a Stonecutter block.
@SciBlast Official
He'd need iron for that which would require cobblestone tools and a furnace to even get, amateurs smh.
What? That’s only in minecraftjoke!
No srsly
Just go creative its faster
If you're planning to make a dugout canoe, you should also try making one by control burning it until it becomes hollow.
Ohh this sounds like a good idea!
so much easier the hollowing it with tools, also makes it more resistant to rot
Yeah, same with an axe handle. I think that’s how primitive technology makes his handles, burns a hole through rather than trying to drill with a rock...
"townsends" have quite good video on the 17th century methods one could use and plan on making a camping trip in theirs soon.
Life Connoisseur that is acc very hard to do and takes alot of time, watch townsends vid
This explanation of the guide about how the float copper was formed and distributed has to be one of the best explanations I've heard from a guide. In my experience guides are usually either under estimating me and dumbing down their language, or they are just temporary guides and don't know much about the subject themselves. It is rare to find a good guide that both knows everything about what they are showing and don't hold back in sharing information. I usually get into small arguments with guides when they for example tell contradicting stories and I confront them about it.
Just want to say I love the reset so far
Simon McCutcheon it’s so great
*ding* you've unlocked the copper age! Congratulations!
Man, Minecraft's graphics have gotten crazy good!
Marion Vanier I know this is a joke... But have you seen the Minecraft RTX update? It's insane. Probably some of the best graphics on the market.
umm, i dont really see how that has anything to do with this vid
Adam Wolf he's crafting his own tools in the video like you would do in a game of Minecraft. Original commenter is joking that Minecraft's graphics has gotten really good because he's referring to the footage in the video.

All thanks to RTX 😂

You looked so tired in this video! Hope you're looking after yourself :)

That’s why he took some of that hemp😂
well...meds come way behind copper..
@@1.4142 lmao that actually made me yawn
lol you'd think they reshoot the scene for professionalism, him yawning looks a bit off...lol
This whole series is so damn interesting. I'm addicted!
Did you know the first clay pots were made by a knight. He used them to carry water to battle incase he got thirsty. His name was Amic. Sir Amic
took me a while smh
🤣😂
Ohhhhh I get it. Sir Amic pronounced as "ceramic"
Lol
15000 ago, the discovery of metal detectors tipped the ballance, allowing early humans to find float copper much more easily
15000 years ago, there was much more available ore at the surface, so this wouldn't be very fair if Andy didn't have a detector :')
It's just speeding up what would be possible without help. He would've found the copper eventually, but with a detector it just doesn't take so long. The focus wasn't on finding the metal anyways.
Using a metal detector is a tool, already in ep2, you failed the make your own tools. I understand once you find it you can buy it but the dectector or was cheating.
Eric Sutton It’s not a tool. He specifically said he will do stuff to speed things up.
There were a lot of trolls then too...
I like the new concept of your channel.
Love the idea
"lets take this weird looking rock, throw it in a bonfire, put it in a lake and hit it with a rock miltiple times."
Lol it really is interesting how someone would come up with that
It really does make one wonder how early humans learned how to do things so effectively.
@@NA-yq4pe Well, after such a long period of time there was someone who had a random thought
Maybe someone was just hammering a chunck of copper when evening arrived, and deciding to continue the next day, used that rock-looking chunk of copper as a rock for the fire pit, finding the next morning all the stress released
@@Camaleonte9087 ye they might not have even known it was copper, probably thought it was just another rock
Highest effort mobile game ad I've seen.
Yeap, was great for my 6 and 7 year olds to watch...
(Ps, not disagreeing, just commenting a lot to point out to channel that axes into faces might not be appropriate for this awesome educational content that I am enjoying sharing with my boys so they can have at least some appreciation for how easy their life is)
Raven Selenite uhhhh, okay?
Imagine someone finds your weed garden and they just take the stalks to make ropes
So Interesting!! I love this! This channel deserves many more subs and views.
Those tools are for fine work - not chopping down trees. To cut down a tree stone age style, build a small fire at the base all around. break a couple of rocks and use the sharp edges to clear away the char from the fire. Continue with this process: small fire, sharp rock to scrape away the charred wood, repeat, etc. You can fell good sized trees this way. You can also "dig out" a dug out canoe this way. Fell your tree with the small fire and scraping rocks, then build a small fire where you want the end of your canoe - use previous method to "cut" canoe log to size. Select which side of your log you want as the inside, build a small fire along the top of that - continue with small fire and scrape method until you have a dug out canoe. The fire will also somewhat water proof the inside of your new canoe.
I know the new thrust here is to quickly move up the tech tree but I think it would be really fun if you decided to pick just one of these advancements and try to get really good with it, as a small side project. Maybe its not hand worked copper, but something similar that interests you. Every couple months you could check back in and show us your progress, show us how far your copper arrow heads have come, or how well-polished and pretty the new ceremonial copper axe is.
Just something to think about. I know I really enjoy watching someone master a skill rather than just try it out, and its deeply satisfying to see a beautiful hand-built object.
8:06 This talk about copper being in the same place as tin makes me wanna load up Runescape
Even the sponsor integration is next level. Love this man!
Unless you are watching with a 6 and 7 year old when an axe to a face is a bit WAY too much.
(Ps, not disagreeing, just commenting a lot to point out to channel that axes into faces might not be appropriate for this awesome educational content that I am enjoying sharing with my boys so they can have at least some appreciation for how easy their life is)
@@RavenSelenitenothing teaches you to appreciate your sheltered life more than seeing someone else be axed in the face though
That ad was honestly sick
Well done! This project took quite a lot of work. Gives you an appreciation for how hard our ancestors worked!
I've never wanted to build everything in my house from scratch till now.

Keep doing the great things your doing
But use AC/BC instead of the appropriations of the same exact calendar some trendy professor decided to label as BCE and CE.. Kind of insulting to the scientists who created the calendar to just disrespect it like that.
Patriot 03 but it isn’t disrespectful. It is like you said. An appropriation that acknowledges but adds to/alters the explorations of the past scientists
@@samanthaweber2195 It's purely done to reject Christianity.
Patriot 03 Christianity is not meant to be the only way of existing. I am Jewish and I use before common era instead out of respect for other religions and belief systems
@@samanthaweber2195 It has nothing to do with Christianity being the only way of Existing, it has to do with respecting the people and Religion that MADE the Gregorian Calendar. You wouldn't do that to the creations of any other religion, you'd give credit to them.
But Christianity, you steal and appropriate because no one will defend Christians.
Thank you prehistoric tribesmen very cool
I've got to say, loving the new direction the channel is going and I really appreciate the effort you put into the ads. I don't even want to skip them like I do on most other channels (except corridor crew of course)
*Minecraft coming back*
HTME: Welcome back everyone we’re starting a Minecraft let’s play
16:46 The dust getting tapped away in fast forward is beautiful!
Interesting adventure under ground.
It's a little easier than I thought (I expected you'd have to use the stone tools to mine copper or make the fire from scratch) but I guess it works too
Benjamin Chen
He didn’t use any tools to mine the copper, he just made it easier to find with a metal detector.
@@thermophile2106 I mean yeah metal detectors are tools
@@thermophile2106 He used a jackhammer in the pit.
@@benjaminchen4367 Why don't people understand that in the last 6000 years most of the floating copper went away?
He doesn't live in 5000BC.
Benjamin Chen I mean. Back when humans were in the Copper age, it was readily available. Right now, it’s not
i love the new take with the channel
Loving this series!
I love this channel's ads. The only ads that I want to see.
In two episodes homeboi has already passed Primitive Technology's technology tree
well he not really, Primitive Tech skipped the copper age and bronze age, and is in the iron age. he has made iron pills and smelted small amounts of iron from the ground
He made iron bitch. You wrong.
Note that he's used Jackhammers and stuff to farm his materials. And also, PT has already entered iron age.
@@y33t23 well htme allows himself to get new material with basic tools and once obtained he can get it from anywhere so it doesn't take forever as he is trying to catch-up and finish his camera or improve it I should say
@@theztalker6731 Yeah, that's what I was saying. You can't compare it because htme makes the process of getting something easier once he's done it the primitive way, while primitive technology does everything by hand over and over again.
this channel is just minecraft in real life XD
Stephen Rains your so far off it’s litterly ark
Lil CatBoy eh I’d say more towards rust
@@guineapigtyler Rust is a better comparison
Or dr.stone live action
@@mrlupine1197 I mean for me it feels more like TerraFirma Craft which is a mod for Minecraft that literally alters survival where you literally have to pick up pebbles and sticks that you find on the ground, make tools before you get a chance to break wood, you later have to find clay to make pottery which can lead to making ingot/tool head/sword blade casts which you use to make the copper tools or whatnot... look it up with a TH-camr named EthosLab it's a pretty interesting and fun mod ^^
I'm absolutely loving the new direction for the channel, this is awesome.
gotta say it, been watching you from pretty much the start of your channel.. i love where it is going. it also disappoints me what i have done so far in life! keep it up man! your a inspiration!
Decapited zombies heads, marijuana garden, i new there will be change on this channel but i assume i wasn't ready for that haha
You should have held the stick over a fire for a little bit to strengthen it
I’m absolutely loving the series and check every day for a new episode
I truly adore all your videos and treasure them all mate
My dyslexic ass thought that said “humanity’s first meal”
Ha I don’t have dyslexia and I read that as well
Lunawolf44 same here
Thats a pretty good one.
Same here 😂
I can see how certain advancements pushed humanity forward significantly. Sheesh.
Yeah, this was informative in a lot of ways.
One of the most fascinating & interesting channels on youtube. Thanks so much for sharing & cannot wait for the next one!!
Love the way this channel is going! Can't wait for the next episode😃
Cutting a tree with that is gonna be almost impossible
I think a cast ax will work better, he does have ceramics so its not impossible for him to do it, he just needs enough material
Sharpened stone really does work better but it is extremely labour intensive
Yeah it would be way easier to make a Canoe by making Sickle and harvesting reeds
He sure has a lot of ambition. I used to as well, but life and some age have beaten than down.
Andy: "From now on, only self made tools"
Meanwhile Andy: *uses metal detector
Exactly my thought :D
By the same logic, he wouldn't be able to use his cameras to actually show this to us. So uh, cut the team some slack
Because all the easy to spot copper was already taken.
That isn't a problem the people 5000 years ago had.
I thinck that the usage of a metaldetector and jackhamer were ok cause it makes no diference in the final "product" as vor example a "real" knfie would make
as was said, this stuff has been picked clean for thousands of years. unless also expected to use a time-machine he'd be hard pushed to find anything.
I'm really enjoying the new direction the channel has taken! The episodes feel more linked together and there's a nice educational narrative created by following Humanity's progress through time!
I like the new direction to show is taking. Something that I think would be nice, will be including in the making of things. It was underlined in your Stone age video the humanity has accomplished Civilization by working together, just as you are accomplishing the series with the help of many. I love to see more of the team and see the making of things be more collaborative
the use of metal detector during the finding of the float copper and also using powertools should not be allowed for this challenge in my opinion but i love the series this is really an amazing idea
I think the idea is that back then these big chunks of copper were just sitting on the surface as the glaciers receded and the surface examples have been picked clean over the last 12,000 years.
Concessions were made to not have to dig randomly until he got lucky.
@@alexhamon9261 which is totally understandable but i don't know it just feels like its defeating the purpose of having a beginning of humanity series where you can only use what you make/craft yourself if you can use modern tools during the process.
@@risepure6652 some concessions get made so this project won't take 20,000 years
As discussed upthread, there's a difference between "making" and "finding". No modern tools were used in the making.
You should really do a collab with Primitive Technology, that would be awesome.
That would be super cool. Only problem is either going to Australia or getting him up from Australia
@@glynandrews8203 I'm aware, but c'mon, they can find a way, more so in this age of connectivity
Nicolás Petrali fair point
@@glynandrews8203 Also primitive technology doesn't speak
This is amazing, can't wait to see the new video
Amazing transition of the channel! Fun, education, full of vulnerability. Love this channel!
I love your channel man I do a lot of the same stuff for fun
Watching this while 3D printing stuff is kinda weird.
I love this new chapter. Keep it up!!
Loving the new take Andy! Please keep it up!
For the future, you should gather different oils, linseed oil, vegetable oil, etc. One for the protection of wood, and also for hardening edges later down the line
Been a fan for a long time but I am feeling much more connected to the channel with this new direction. Absolutely love it and hope you end up sticking with this style!
That adze actually looks impressive I'd say . good job man . the dug out canoe should be fun I'd imagine
im not sure people in 9000BCE would purchase copper online from others or use metal detectors
But wouldn't the first metal have been a bunch of cavemen grunting and wailing while smashing things with sticks?
Anthropologist here. This is the Victorian concept of the caveman, but probably not the truth, since they had hyoid bones like us, so had language like us. It's just that we aren't sure what that language was. They were just as smart as us, just didn't have the discoveries we do. (and some people would also argue smarter if they were foraging, too.)
Also, often caves were either used for mostly ritualistic purposes, or to escape the heat most of the time. Up through stone henge, when they were making huts, etc, often caves or mounds were used purely for ritual.
With any new technology, though, there is a period of transition where some people lag behind others. You've probably seen that in your own lifetime.
That is a horrible joke, & you really ought to be ashamed of yourself... Here's a thumbs up.
Wow. Easily your best video yet! LOVE the direction this channel is going.
I’ve been looking forward to this
Bring on the atomic age! ☢

Then the space age
Personally though building a dugout is possible maybe with those tools I rather think it would be more possible to try and use those tools to build a skin on frame kayak
Really digging this Ancestors playthrough!
best series on yt right now. thanks for the effort put in!
did you grab iron when you were here, we have A LOT of it, most of are sand rusts.
Instead of using hemp rope you can use deer tendon. Put it in your mouth let it get soft and warm, than wrap it around the head and the wood. It's a lot stronger.
I'm hyped for the next episode. Love the nwr videos!
The beginning is awesome
He’s already surpassed native Americans
you said you would only use tools you made for scratch but now you're using a metal detector and a shovel to find copper
He's not using the tools to "make" stuff, just find it, copper would've been so common back then that using a metal detector makes it more fair because of how much has already been mined or used. He won't use any modern tools to build or make anything that will get him into the bronze age or whatever
@@David-if2hj yes I suppose but what about using a shovel to dig up the copper
@@datrandomdugggy5537 M8 do you want this series to take 10000 years?
Ah yes because releasing video once a year is a sustainable concept. You guys are nitpicky assholes. If he use modern tools to speed up things y'all complaint but if he doesn't upload fast enough because the project is not done yet y'all complaint as well. Nothing can satisfy you.

just skip it, be happy hes doing it
skip to 2:29
it was really bizzare yea but I'm happy they're getting money for their projects
if you ever make a computer i'm gonna flip
Can you possibly make longer videos, if it's not too much to ask? Sorry, I just like your videos and they help me calm down from all the depression and anxiety. I love you and the HTME crew!
