Primitive Technology: Mud Bricks

I made a brick mold that makes bricks 25 x 12.5 x 7.5 cm from wood. A log was split and mortise and tenon joints were carved using a stone chisel and sharp rocks. The mold was lashed together with cane to prevent it from coming apart when used.
Next, I made a mixture of mud and palm fiber to make the bricks. This was then placed into the mold to be shaped and taken to a drying area. 140 bricks were made.
When dry, the bricks were then assembled into a kiln. 32 roof tiles were then made of mud and fired in the kiln. It only took 3 hours to fire the tiles sufficiently. The mud bricks and tiles were a bit weaker than objects made from my regular clay source because of the silt, sand and gravel content of the soil. Because of this, I will look at refining mud into clay in future projects instead of just using mud.
Interestingly, the kiln got hot enough so that iron oxide containing stones began to melt out of the tiles. This is not metallic iron, but only slag (iron oxide and silica) and the temperature was probably not very high, but only enough to slowly melt or soften the stones when heated for 3 hours.
The kiln performed as well as the monolithic ones I've built in the past and has a good volume. It can also be taken down and transported to other areas. But the bricks are very brittle and next time I'd use better clay devoid of sand/silt, and use grog instead of temper made of plant fiber which burns out in firing. The mold works satisfactorily. I aim to make better quality bricks for use in furnaces and buildings in future.

Imagine if enough people are skilled enough to make mud bricks and cement from wood ash, and dedicate enough effort to build houses on their own

This is what youtube is for. No clickbait, no challenges just a dude showing off his fascinating hobby and creativity. Easily the best channel right now.
I agree but I can’t be bothered to type more text then you would find in a 200 page long book so I’ll do it tomorrow.
TheRealBeatMaster completely agree
Totally agreed, best content on youtube that has gone trending in a while, just fascinating history and technology.
TheRealBeatMaster so fucking true
This is indeed what appeals me, content that is not oversold, not even sold really. Just the most nutral thing showcasing how fascinating the content is instead of hyping everything up and making it about personality.
If people have similar videos please recommend them! I made a playlist for myself where I collect good content like this.
It's truly incredible how thousands of years ago, a primitive human said "hey what would happen if I mashed some mud together" and it worked
This dude is going to confuse some scientists in a few hundred years
Bruh there is the memer (the one who replies) and the good cool ppl aka the guy who posted the coment that i replied to

Damn
I found that quite funny
I can't believe that he goes home after this, edits it, and then uploads it to TH-cam.
haha i know right, kinda hard to picture in your mind
Of course from his wood and mud made computer...
Ali Saleem why is it hard!
Ali Saleem hahahha after the jungle....there's no place like home
Ali Saleem wait I thought he edited and uploaded it on his mud computer
Not clickbait, not pranks, not drama, not even a single word... Just pure originality and talent, this is the quality content TH-cam was created for 👏
and gets more human then any other yt gets!
TH-cam was created as a dating website..
it's not really talent it's just know how lol
But, wait! Turn on the TH-cam CAPTIONS, he speaks through them :)
indeed
Was not expecting him to Tarzan his ass around that tree
Ok

@@FungusWolf ok
There's something extremely satisfying about watching this man work. No talking, no bullshit just amazing to watch!
the captions are text description and explanation of what he does, I always watch twice first with caption and second time without, really gives it a bit extra.
@@najroe i think he should put a little text at the beginning to tell people there are captions
The layout of the video is so good

It doesn't matter what video you're watching on TH-cam, as soon as you see a Primitive Technology upload you click that shit like lightning, anyway... See you next month
Ryan Wainwright i dont agree i think this was shit to be honest
Then why watch
Did someone say my name?

This inspired me to go outside, I decided to try and make a short rope from two weeds. I had no idea how to tie a good knot on the ends so I experimented.I also started to grow potatoes, they are growing good, finally I found an old branch and made it into both an axe and a somewhat inefficient wooden hoe. Thanks for the inspiration, next Id like to try and make a few mud bricks.

Nah, you just played Minecraft xD
@@Its_Mango Actually I did go outside and did what I said I did, I tried to record what I did but did not like the quality so I deleted the video file. You have no right to accuse that, it is very inconsiderate of you to say that! 😡

This guy is legit because we get to see every step of the process, and what he builds is actually plausible.
The fly he swats at 7:38 is the first guest I've ever seen on the show
Kojimochi the stuff he makes called, they are filing a lawsuit

Wouldn't say "swat" just waved his hand to move the fly away. Nothing was harmed.

well, on the 132nd episode they feature my favorite actor: "the freshwater prawn"
When I clicked on the time signature, an ad popped immediately popped up. Are you getting paid well by them bro?
Reaching almost 6 million subs without uttering a single word. I know it gets a bit of a poor reputation, but this is why places like youtube are just incredible sources of information. I applaud your innovation and hardwork PT!

Articulate Design ASMR hi! Love your videos :) How about this for a video idea! Haha asmr brick making!
Put on captions he has been talking too us the whole time
Without single word? Turn on fucking captions already!

So I actually made 4 mud bricks in my backyard today using the dirt back there and a loaf pan with holes drilled in the bottom so the mud doesn’t stay sucked in there. Not as cool as this guys method, but they are WAY more solid than I thought they would be. I’m letting them sit for a few days to dry out. If they come out sturdy enough I’m going to build a small kiln in my backyard for making charcoal and pottery. This dude has me playing with mud in my backyard while my toddler ms watch in confusion XD
So in the kiln can you fire mud just like clay
Videos like this make me really appreciate modern life.
Videos like this kinda give me the opposite drive, I really wanna go into the wild now and make my own little home 😅
This is probably the hardest working youtuber ever
BaconsYT HE GOT THAT MONEYZ WORTHSSS

seriusly? name another like him,
not dudes playing nor camhoring
people making stuff like this guy
Codyslab is pretty amazing. Highly recommend. Dude made a gold and silver ring for his girlfriend from scratch. No bullshit channel.
Yandere Plays 👍🏻
The process of making the tools to make the tools is just fascinating. And I like how he doesn't speak or narrate any of his videos. It enhances the zen-like quality of the experience.
the captions are text description and explanation of what he does, I always watch twice first with caption and second time without, really gives it a bit extra.

These videos just make me realize how fast I would die in these situations.
Cleffification sorry but I think this is a sad comment. You should feel the opposite. Reassured that if in desperate/ primitive situations not just survival but even luxury can be achieved.

My friend asked me who I would take with me on an abandoned island, thinking I would say him but I chose this guy.

obviously 😁
Your friend sounds a little gay. I would keep an eye on that one.

Your work ethic and abilities are impressive man. Definitely gonna follow and learn some stuff for the times to come. Thanks
I think my favorite thing about these videos is that they remind me that even when we have nothing, we're still capable of prosperity
can you imagine stumbling across this guy's stuff in the woods?

Goat pepper herbal tea except he is the og, there were no videos like this (or at least none that were popular) before him
Kronk thats what I thought too I just didn’t know if there were others like him at the time. I remember getting into his videos in late 2016 or 17 and i could only find that type of vid on his channel. Crazy how these new channels have changed the game I wonder if some are more produced than their videos make it seem
Goat pepper herbal tea lmao
This guy’s content is the best sleep ASMR. Not saying it’s boring, but the nature sounds, wood chopping, fire burning… puts me right to sleep.

Those guys doing this for real long time ago are better men than me, they did this so I can watch on TH-cam, thanks guys, I really appreciate it
Just wanted to say I miss new content... These edit cheats can't match your honest labor. Visual education from your videos has been so informative and peaceful. Just absolutely.... Thank you. You're the OG.
Turn ON the subtitles and see the magic!
Thank you now I know what he is doing

Is anyone else in an argument with someone who said clay is superior to all other soils because of its building capabilities? No, just me? Ok
Clay is superior because it’s within my small vocabulary of 20 different words, all of which are in this sentence.
@@sharkygamer1409 genius
Clay _is_ superior due to its adhesive, cohesive, and hardening properties. It sticks to itself (cohesive), sticks to its it's surroundings (adhesive) and you can harden it or fire it.
Its also doesn't burn
It is a superior building material for early man
wooden house? Plaster it in clay, add hardened roof tiles and cover the inside too
Result: fireproof, better insulation, fired roof tiles super resistant to rain, and can't burn
Light fires and you could leave them unattended
@@sharkygamer1409 I counted,it's legit.
I can only count to 10...
@@airnomad2650 Roots cant grow in thick ass clay, thats the only problem you really cant garden the soil
I love this kinda stuff... guaranty if i ever find myself in a situation where im homeless or removed from civilization for whatever reason... Id be decking my camp out with ideas gained from these vids.... Im looking at them now cause i wanna make a Hillside Shelter on the side of a ravine... but i want it to be completely hidden with a full on stove fireplace made of either just mud brick or a Stone Combination... with this simple knowledge u can make just about anything... i wanna have several plans and notes in a notebook ill keep in my backpack.. So thank you for doing these for everyone.
All the money wasted on bullshit survival shows when all we need is this dude, just straight killing it!
JWitt30 remember, these projects take him weeks.
You can save weeks of time by buying fairly inexpensive bricks and mortar
austin bevis yes, very true.. for all we know he's built a 2 level house by now.
He doesn't do it to save money or time. It's for the sake of knowledge. we need more people like him in the world!

His parents also made him from stone, wood and mud
The way he takes the tree down is fascinating :)
Yea it is
John Plant can easily make a lot of money. I mean it, he can organize class, write a book (He did), become a Trainer, become ambassador for numerous Jungle Survival companies. But from so many videos I watched of him, he is doing it for his hobby and out of pure interest. Really love his videos and his work. Too bad I'm not from Aus...would love to meet him in person.

Sometimes I like to imagine he's actually live in the forest with just a camera, router, and trousers
Legit Communism and laptop
That is possible, a tiger documenter did that for 30 years in Siberia
The trousers are only for when the camera is on.
I imagine the amount of time this must take would be astronomical, but also truly meditative.
When you cant sleep the channel is the best
I don't know why youtube recommended this video to me, but I'm glad it did.
Me too!
Beyond comfort's sake, him being shirtless helps demonstrate just how many muscles are utilized in each action. Crazy to think just how much was driven by sheer human exertion for such a long time.
What if he's fine showing himself shirtless?
I love how the dude just slaps it into the mold.
