    About This Video:
    I invented method of making pots from wood ash instead of clay. The ash is mixed with water and formed into shape, left to set for 3-7 days and will then be water resistant like normal clay pottery. Unlike conventional clay pottery, no firing is required, the pot will set by itself in the air due to the high lime content of the ash. First the wood must be burned at a high temperature, well ventilated fire. The white ash is then mixed with water, molded into a pot using conventional pottery techniques and will then set due to the calcium oxide in the wood ash turning into calcium carbonate by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The pot can then optionally be polished with a smooth object such as a shell while it's semi dry to give it a shiny finish. The resultant pot was then put in water for 24 hours without dissolving. It then held water for another 24 hours though some of the water seeped out. It should make a good alternative to clay pottery if there are no sources of clay around. A brick was also made to test it's ability to form bricks. The ash brick also passed the water test after spending 24 hours in the creek without dissolving.
    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.

    Hi all,
    Due to some concerns from the subreddit, I've reached out to John Plant, owner of the Primitive Technology TH-cam channel, for an update on his status during this pandemic, and because he hasn't released new videos for a few months now.
    I'm happy to be able to report that John is doing well and everything is fine. He thanks us for our concern and... has a nice surprise for us:
    He's unfortunately not allowed to reveal any details at this time, but John is currently taking a break from TH-cam because he is working on a project for a cable network!
    Hope you all stay safe and healthy!

    I'm going to try this process using bamboo leaves. Where I live, there's a large stand of what I think is giant timber bamboo. A little research suggests that bamboo leaves are unusually high in silica. I'm interest to see if, by burning bamboo leaves with wood or bark and then following this process, I can produce a crude calcium-silicate-type cement.

    John here, I'm ok. Wet season is starting to show now with the first storms, no fire ban in my shire. Spent Christmas with family in Brisbane so missed the big storm that happened the other day here. Back home now, the current hut survived well with no leaks, all the un-fired bricks safe under the eves. All kilns and furnaces (out side the hut) sustained limited to no water damage after the 30 mm of rain we had while I was away. Thanks for your concern.

      Ash pottery is *much* more brittle than fired clay. Or even unfired sundried clay.
      Its waterproofness sucks.
      And it cannot be Fired to become stronger the way Clay can.
      .
      Its only real advantage is ease of sourcing the materials.

      @@primarymeme9929 Interesting, i always thought California's fire problem came from planting too many eucalypti one to two centuries ago. But i guess that Smokey Bear Effect did its part too.
      Here in Europe we had 2018 one of the hottest summers in history. Also this year fires where a big problem in south europe. Our problem is indirectly caused by those extreme temperatures: Ours trees, especially spruce, timber number one in most parts of europe, is weakened by too long periods of heat, in return many of them die because of a normally non- fatal infestation of bark beetles. A normally green forest full of bone- dry and often dead trees is nothing to be ignored. The outcome: In 2018 germany (just as an example) had four times more forest fires than normal.
