Building a wattle-and-daub hut with your bare hands #1yrago


Primitive Technology’s handyman starts with a stone axe and a fire-stick, then painstakingly builds up a 2m^2 hut with a bed, fireplace, chimney and thatched roof.

Earlier videos in the channel show you how to make a stone axe and fire-stick as well as a technique for making poisonous black beans safe to eat (so you’ve got sustenance while you build your hut).

I’m really looking forward to the rest of this series – I’m betting he’s heading for a run that gets all the way up to “How to make a browser with Youtube access so that you can watch these videos if you’re lost in the jungle with nothing but your bare hands and a pair of fetching shorts.”
