About This Video:
My hut burned down after I left a fire untended in it. I needed a new one quickly. Fortunately I had already cleared a new spot earlier in the wet season for such a purpose. I constructed the new hut from wood and palm thatch. It was 3 x 3m in floor plan and a total of 3m high with 1.5m high side walls. 4 posts were put into the ground and a pyramidal roof was built on top of this. The frame was then thatched with palm fronds (which are less flammable than grass thatch but don't tend to last as long in wet weather). After finishing the hut I collected the possessions from the last hut and moved them into the new one. Yams from the garden were dug up but there weren't many due to the soil being compacted and low in organic matter. A yam was cooked by wrapping it in clay and baking it in the hot coals for 30 minutes. Now I have a larger hut where I can continue to make projects despite the minor set back that has just occurred.
About Primitive Technology:
Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

He's been doing this so long, there are RUINS.
Primitive arson
Well played.
imagine he sells his house and grounds, and they come there and are like wtf, there is a whole village here but no one lives there??
I remember the great fire of 2019AD.... such a terrible loss

John Plant wrote a book.
There's no dialogue, its just pictures of him building a civilization

Hahaha sounds about right!!
it's a flip book
Does it have pop up pictures?
And it shows how to make them
The human existence summarized into 1 sentence.
"Hut burned down, built new one."
It's amazing how many other channels of this type have sprung up since this one got popular, but to me he's still the original
and it's always substandard trash that's destroying the environment around them, they're using cement and diggers and shit behind the scenes
I've been enjoying HTME's reboot series, and like, yeah, they talk and have filler in there a bit, but I also like that he's evolving beyond primitive as well (admittedly sourcing materials from offsite on more than a few occasions, but getting the base materials isn't the point of his show, so he just has to get enough to consider it unlocked on the tech tree on a base material), but I am also enjoying prim-tech channels like this one that stick with this and keep at the slow tech upgrades and sourcing only from their own territory, the way they would actually have to do it in the primitive methods
He is the original.
original indeed.. his video is the first one i watch.. he didnt even use real knife.. bring just his pant.. 😆😆
you dont have the authority to say whether he is the original, he will always be the original no matter what because he did it first and best.
My dude is just like "I wrote this book if you wanna read it" for like 5 seconds and that's it for the ad. I love you my man.
Probably more effective than a two minute pitch as well.
@@Trazynn Well most people have subconciously trained their brains to tune out whenever ads are playing. His was so subtle and simple I didn't mind it.
Another thing is he's entitled to promote his own products on his own channel, since that's effectively what he's already doing with a TH-cam channel to begin with.
It was 3 seconds D:
@@DoomRater And I'm fine if he wants to advertise stuff, I'm just really glad it wasn't done in a long-winded and annoying way that a lot of people tend to do.
Basic mistake: He tried to commit insurance fraud before building an insurance company out of clay.
COTD
@@yanshapiro Привет! It's a joke about how some people get insurance on their home and then burn it down themselves to collect the insurance money. But on this channel everything is built from scratch and I basically joked, that he won't be able to get the money, because he hasn't built the insurance company yet. =)
@@caitgems1 Yes, I weren't.
@@steinmaniac7920 хахаха я понял шутку)) I got that joke👌🏻
do you have adhd
The little "yes I'll be careful this time" in the captions while building the fire in the new hut was adorable 🤣
Omfg I never checked the captions on these videos. Amazing.
Wow. Thanks for the Caption info. I never turned it on before. It added so much more to the same video I just watch.
It's odd how the op barely ever mentions the captions. They add a lot to the videos.
Imagine going camping with this man: ""hey bro did you remember to pack the tents"" "nah fam dw I'll just make us one"
This hut took four days to thatch on his own (significantly faster than he would have been if he hadn’t been motivated by lack of shelter, but still slower than a family with the same motivation working together).
@@ragnkja not only that, but he knows what he's doing and what to look for. A beginner would take even longer

Как только скажет, все отпишутся тупа
One of my favorite details from this channel: he always shows us the entire process of lighting a fire so we know he isn’t bullshitting us
But also think about the meticulous planning when he has to relocate the camera constantly to do that.
Lol
Treviath he more than likely has help
@@ryugo7713 I don't think so. I think he just spends a lot of time making the videos.
And also how hard trying to lit a fire and not everyone can do it.
"I LEAVE THIS FIRE UNATTENDED FOR 15 GODDAMN MINUTES AND THIS HAPPENS"
Anyone whos tried to even do something so simple as using a hand drill to make a small coal knows how hard it is to do. You make everything you do look so easy, mad respect for your commitment to your craft.
Remember folks, turn on CC for Primitive Technology
Or just keep it on all the time.
Had no clue he captions them til now
What the frick, I've been watching this dude's stuff for years and never knew there was CCs
George Grund V glad to see my comment enlightened at least one other person that he captions his content! Mission Accomplished :P
I was blown away when I found out!
“Washing hands before eating”
yea we being primitive but god forbid we be uncivilized

Hand hygiene is so he doesnt get sick

You know when he ate that 🥔 he was like "damn could use some salt"
Salt was super valuable in the olden days
“We are so sorry sir-your house burnt down.”
“Ok.”
That’s some raw power
He doesn’t even have a pen or pencil or even paper but the mad lad still wrote a book
He used his blood
How do you think he films this ? with a potato? lol it's a high tech cam. He must have a modern ''hut'' for when he doesn't do videos.

Thank you so much! I've been watching for a long time and never know that the captions say what is going on
Thank you! I never knew this.
Thank you!! I have watched dozens of these and didn't know about this until your comment. I saw one above saying "turn on CCs" and I thought they were being a smart ass! (har har, nice one, closed captions on a video with no dialogue)

I love that his last guy burned to the ground, and his first act in the new hut is to light a fire.
Do you imagine if someone discovers your work and mistakes it for an archeological site
probably not... it'll be really easy to date it considering a mud hut wouldn't last thousands of years and the pottery shards could be dated really easily too.

@Dazidan Actually, he could do it no time, it's just that there aren't any feasible iron ore quarries in his reach. He tried making some from soil bacteria but the yield was too small to be significant.
That product promotion at the beginning was arguably one of the best ones ever made. Simple, to the point, and not in your face
THANK YOU, JOHN; FOR COMING BACK ! I missed you really bad. I watched everything you put out, several times, plus I would go back and watch some of them again, when I got to thinking about something you made. I was trying to get a survivalist to look up one of your videos, where you show how to strip the inside of bark and do the twisting action to make string ! and such as that
We all bugged you to write your book & you finally did, & I scurried out to get mine at Barns & Noble. It stays easy to get to. I'm SO GLAD you're back !!!
From the book description: “John’s channel is beloved by a wide-ranging fan base, from campers and preppers to hipster woodworkers and craftsmen.”
What about people who sit on the couch and watch videos?!
And many ladies who don't care what he's building.
Lassi Kinnunen wow just called me out personally
That makes you a hipster woodworker, you werent making things with wood before it was cool
@Lassi Kinnunen Yeah, workin da wood.
Lmao😆
We can rebuild it.
We have the Primitive Technology.

"Hut burned down"
Immediately starts a fire in the new one😂
@AnotherWacko It's true, but he's joking about that incident...
That'll teach the hut to burn down!
You sir, are an original. What a refreshing site ! I just came across it this week. You sure put a lot of hard work and effort into your videos. I for one, appreciate all you bring to share with the world. Stay safe !!
love how this guy recorded not just the hut, but his dinner making and eating process, including the construction of the oven and the harvesting of the food
Primitive technology: So I wrote a boo-

I miss new videos by you bro!
You were among the first you tubers I found with this type of content and loved it!
Been watching for a long time but I have to say bravo. Everything done wordlessly makes your videos approachable for anyone anywhere! Then to add the closed captions as a sort of commentary is so well done!
Neighboring tribe might have been jealous and burned it down.

If you put subtitles you'll see why it burned down
Naw, he burned it down for the insurance money.
OMG ITS 666 LIKES idk but that doesn’t totally mean to me

@@LordDragox412 Haha Great comments!
forget youtube rewinde?
This dude is also a pioneer for all of "Primitive Technology" type channels
@@ind3n True, so many trying to copy him but it just doesn't work. Original is original.
What I really love even though it's briefly shown, the stuff he put the extra effort in terms of clay and such is fine after the fire, not much damage. He just moves it and stacks it aside. The rest, the building itself, is just something he can redo.
Man loving it, how he describes everything like we will build that thing this thing with his instructions. Keep up the work, I love this channel

Outside of Rudy Boesch, that'd be one season I'd definitely watch.
They vote off the strongest ones first on Survivor so it'd ruin it. Now Naked and Afraid...
He'd have a corner on the Farm to Fork movement by day 12. He would forge and sell actual forks on day 13.
Naked and afraid would be better but it’s about way more than being able to build huts and kilns.
Been binge watching this channel for a couple hours. I appreciate the quiet solitude. Reminds me NW Primate, only without a shirt or dog. Subscribed.
This just shows you dont need fancy tools to build a shelter, you did an amazing job John
For all new watchers, add subtitles for additional information!
This changes everything!!!! Thanks

Thank you so much for this!
He still needs to add a title card that says this. It would help so much.
Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks.
Shortest ad ever and I’m sold. Ima get a copy
i'll wait for the audio book when he narrates it.
Oh my hut burned down

"once the frame is set up, proceed to commit blasphemy and curse the gods that burned your house down"

Accurate
I was expecting at the end
"Hut in the rain. Sheds rain well"
"Burnt hut in the rain. Does not shed rain well."
I was expecting "hut in the rain - no rain in the hut"
As a magic Channel... For me is more easy, a touch of magic and... Ready! 😂

The one thing rural people have over city people
This is why i love this channel, it's about "REAL" primitive way to build anything. "NOT" just some guy build pool underground.
Because he's the real and original one not some shameless copycat
Bro we need pool ther will help us to stay a life xD... not real.. he is the best. :)
Ease up mate, those other channels are still building the same way, just with some power tools speed some stuff up like hole digging. Not as cool but still. My biggest issue with them making pools is that they never make them sustainable, as in you woul have to spend all day with a bucket to fill them and they get so dirty after one use. If they somehow plumbed them into a stream or river and back again they would be cool.
Indian people primitive just try hard to make hut and Photoshoped blue water pool lmfao
@@Wookie_oo7 Dude they are not building the same way if they use power tools 😒 you are contridicting yourself

this dude so in tune with nature his name is Plant
John Plant might just be an alias and not his actual name
gnomechild gang
I think John Plant is a play on the name John Smith.
In the UK there are quite a few famous gardeners with "naturey" names. Alan Titchmarsh, Pippa Greenwood, Bob Flowerdew, etc (and ofc many without). People used to be given names based on their occupation or where they lived (Baker, Smith, etc) and I wondered if maybe these people were very close to the land and it passed on through their family line. So what I'm trying to say is, maybe his name is Plant because his ancestors were very "of the earth" and it's been passed on.
Safirezebabe Nah it’s because his great great great grandfather was an industrial warehouse for manufacturing.
