Have you guys seen his channel? It's actually pretty fascinating. This guy, with literally nothing but his shorts and a video camera, goes into the woods and builds stuff.
I never knew there was so much you could do with stone, wood, mud, and fire. He doesn't talk throughout the whole thing too, alls you hear is forest sounds. It's mesmerizing.
It's goat
I could honestly watch this guy for hours just making shit in the jungle

He did those over the course of a few months
>>69668067
>no useless padding and stupid personalities
>thats a bad thing
Its just pure visual teaching. He's said he does it that way on purpose so the videos can be watched by a wider audience.
Primitive Technology is based. I heard some militaries are in contact with him to train like Green Berets or some shit to learn his skills.
>>69668861
If a black person was doing it I would automatically think it's less impressive

>>69669477
> I want to smelt iron. I have tried with a short furnace recently using only natural draft- I formed spheres of ore and charcoal powder then put them into the furnace. It only partially melted though. I'm also considering a reverberatory furnace (basically a cross draft kiln) fueled by wood. These were once used as puddling furnaces to melt iron (sometimes with wood fuel but more often mineral coal). I've read such a furnace can approach 1400 c with wood fuel and natural draft alone and think it could be adapted to smelting iron (ore and carbon mixed together to reduce the iron chemically).
Yall talking about relaxing as fuck wilderness survival documentaries?

McCandless didn't die from eating poison berries. He was smarter than that at least. The main theory was he ate a poisonous part of an otherwise edible plant that could only really kill a person if you were already in a weak or starved condition. He had a perfect shelter and methods of staying warm but wasn't prepared or didn't have the means of getting enough food. In the end he regretted what he did but it was too late, I personally don't think he should be called a little bitch but I know thats not really a sentiment 4chan/tv/ agrees with.
>>69669676
I loved the shit out of this one, too.
It's probably my favorite youtube channel despite only getting one video a month. In my opinion every man should have at least some basic wilderness survival skills. If I ever give up on life the bush is where I'll spend the rest of my days.

Most of Africa wasn't even hunter-gatherer before Europeans showed up. The whole Bantu migrations thousands of years ago was because they discovered agriculture and had metal weapons to fuck their neighbors up with.
>>69668539
I did absolutely nothing in boyscouts. My scout leader was my friend's mother - yes, mother. We did some arts and crafts type shit, never went camping, never really learned anything until we merged with another troop as everyone but me and my friend had left her shitty troop.

A large ammount of it is, though.
And the few portions that aren't like that right now were like that within less than the past 100 years, only recently modernizing beyond the fucking Stone Age.

Africa is a huge place. While there were areas that had trade and contact with other civilizations there were also (and still are) pockets that are primitive. There were plenty of small isolated tribes like that all over the world. In Australia, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Africa..

It's not unusual to think that we barely survived, leaving the cradle of humanity. You're white because you hunted fucking mastadons for centuries for food.
Rather than sitting in mud hutts and eating termites. Which people still do. We are all humans, some of us are just more advanced by a long space.
I know this sounds like a Jayden Smith tweet but the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and grit of ancient peoples is amazing to me. If you took modern day people and put them in the forest with nothing most of them would just die, or at best expend huge amounts of time and energy barely subsisting and leading a miserable life. I wouldn't be able to build any fucking tile roofed hut.

its not really amazing or anything like that because that was their normal and standard - ours is far different

Not even kidding- an organization took a live buffalo calf from it's mom from yellowstone to a park ranger saying it was "cold."

>>69671346
>I'm confused, does America not fund culture out of taxpayer money?
The "culture" it gets spent on is INEVITABLY decided by retarded, out of touch Liberal degenerates as time goes on. So instead of anything of actual worth, you get tax-payer money being used to fund worthless, laughable bullshit like Piss Christ and Robert Maplethorpe making gay black-centric porn for his own amusement.
At least Americans got tired of it. In places around Europe the abuse of tax-payer money is far, FAR worse.

This was only because they did not have better options.
Modern humans are useless in the untamed wild because we haven't needed to LIVE in the untamed wild for several thousand years at this point. We don't have to bother investing mental and physical resources in living off the land, which allows us to instead invest those resources in curing communicable diseases, landing human beings on the Moon and sending fucking robots to do our bidding on the surface of Mars.
Aggrandizing primitive humans over modern humans because primitive humans were better at building mud-huts is like aggrandizing dogs over humans because dogs are better at digging holes.

Why do you doubt that a system that has the enlightenment of the people as one of its main tenets actually produces some pretty good shit once in a while?
I mean, obviously it was corrupt as shit, just like capitalism, but when the main goal of one system "on paper" is "yo, let's do some good shit for the people" and another is "fuck the people get the money and run", you can see my point I hope.
>>69672514

>>69671992
>its not really amazing or anything like that because that was their normal and standard - ours is far different
The Jayden Smith-ish point I'm getting at is that we think of ourselves as so much more advanced when really the intuitive leap it took to build simple machines or whatever is, to me, a much more impressive intellectual feat than our ability to post dank maymays or drive a car or navigate the logic of an ATM. I think many more primitive people could learn to do these things than modern people could primitive activities. It makes me wonder if the only thing most humans have really advanced in is verbal intelligence.

Good thread OP
>>69673526
First of all, there is no direct evidence of your "absolutely".
Second of all, sedentary societies are nowhere near comparable with nomadic folks.
Farming by itself took a huge hit on our bodies and possibly on our intelligence as a matter of fact. We became poorly fed little manlets with smaller skulls and only relatively recently have we got back things like the height of our hunter gatherer ancestors.
IQ might as well be raising to the level of our hunter gatherer ancestors after having dropped immensely due to farming, there's no way to know.
>>69670773
if someone could approach coding in a television format like this they would make a killing
>>69673681
You're implying that farming made us worse off, which is directly contradicted by how fucking hard primitive societies have been destroyed by agriculturally based civilizations.
There is literally no justification for your arguments. Human civilization begins at agriculture. Tribalism isn't civilization and is crushed beneath its weight.
Literally only immature fuckheads who have problems functioning in the present world can't see this, but there are thousands of years of conquest which say otherwise.
>>69671531
The seed is strong
>>69673816
nice strawman, I was talking about the long term effects on our bodies
of course farming is attractive by itself since it's a way to have food more safely, and since farming supports more humans they would've easily subjugated the hunter gatherers, this is indeed what happened in Europe
but by no means this proves that farmers were better in terms of intelligence, especially after some thousand years spent with that lifestyle
human civilization might be better for the sake of humanity as a whole, it doesn't necessarily make you an improved human as a single surviving individual

>>69674650
Same fucking place they did retard.
>>69674670
Is it just lying around on the surface?
>>69674650
unless the local areas have already been ravaged by non primitive technological folk, I guess he might find some, afaik Australia has a lot of those resources
I suppose it depends on the area though, maybe he'd have to move to a more rocky area
>>69674725
You will find impure ores on the surface, yes. I can only assume he's suveyed the area if he's publically planning on doing metallurgy.
>>69669477
>>69669618
What happens when he keeps going and reaches the present level of technology? What happens when he passes the rest of us?

I just thought that the discovery of metallurgy came with large societies/cities that had the capability to allocate citizens to projects like mining metal from the deep. That it wouldn't be feasible for a single person. >>69674897
But okey then.
People 50000 years ago were just as intelligent as they are now.

it's medieval but I find it primitive enough, fundamentally it's all based on understanding how to reach high enough temperatures, otherwise you just need clay, charcoal and a way to blow air into the fire, which I guess naturally could be done with materials you could get from animal remains
>>69674650
>>69674725
It depends on the location. He could find some on the surface around rocky outcrops or ridges without a ton of work.
Though I wouldn't blame him if he didn't acquire all of it by hand for the purposes of the demonstration. It could be done, but it would take a long time by himself, and he might simply not have any available on the land he's using. Realistically copper mining would have been an organized effort with many people.

are you fucking stupid?
being the first human to figure out how to make ancient tools is one thing, but copying them once somebody else invented them is easy as fuck.
>>69674997
Actual mining will be unfeasable, but with the time he has he should be able to gather enough surface iron to at least produce simple edges.

I don't remember where I got it as it was two years ago but I remember it took me digging for a couple hours on the web to find it.
>>69674799
The reason Australia is so rife with minerals like this is because our local abos never advanced beyond the stone age even when the white man came along, this isn't race baiting or /pol/ it's just a simple fact.
>>69672973
A lot of that is just that the older you get the harder it is to learn new things.
Today's toddlers are probably more proficient with a smartphone than many seniors, but there's virtually no genetic difference between a toddler today and a toddler 100 years ago.

the metric system
>>69675771
Ancient humans were all manlets. People are taller on average now than ever before.
>>69675909
hunter gatherers in Europe were only slightly shorter than modern Euros, it's with farming that we really became ubermanlets and only recently we surpassed our HG ancestors
>>69675818
im not saying youre wrong but that guy is a manlet
i dont know how i know this, but i can tell hes a manlet just by looking at him

Lol wouldn't farming make you taller because you would have better nutrition throughout your life
>>69676170
so why is it in 4 parts? i saw a complete video that basically showed him do the whole thing
>>69668989
uh... *ahem* you've never actually played minecraft *raises one eyebrow* have you? There are no wooden pants.
>>69676237
>better nutrition
that's the thing though, they didn't have better nutrition, it was worse, a more secure bet and available for bigger populations, but worse nutritionally
hunter gatherers had a more complete and better nutrition, fish, meat, fruits, etc...
farmers sustained themselves mostly with a single crop
interestingly it's one of the reasons scientists think we developed white skin only in the neolithic while our HG ancestors were brown, it's because the diet of the first farmers was lacking in vitamin D and thus they selected for white skin

I was in scouts and never learned to build a waterproof hut with heated floors using only what I found in the forest. But we did quote bible passages and make shit out of popsicle sticks
>>69669477
He should be making coal first. Coal burns hotter than wood. It's pretty easy to do also, gather bunch of wood in a pile with chimney like opening in the middle, cover the pile with dirt and grass until it's pretty much airtight, set the wood on fire via the chimney like opening, some of the wood will burn other parts of the pile will be turned to coal as it will burn without oxygen, part of the pile will be sacrificed.
>>69676902
he already made a video of him making charcoal, that's why it has been suggested he is going towards metallurgy
>>69671788
I think you would be surprised how well people would do in the wild
Now obviously if you took individuals and put them in the wild they would be fucked, what this guy and others do by themselves is nothing short of amazing
But If you took groups of people and left them maybe some tools, some seeds and some animals and maybe a month worth of supplies to get them established while they build their own, and told them to survive I think they most would do alright. In ancient times people didn't really build their own houses like people built cabins in 17th-19th century US, building houses was a whole community effort and not everyone would need to be a great hunter or farmer - the whole reason civilisation exists is because technology allows people to do things other than live to sustain their food source. After several millennium of this agriculture thing, farming, at least in It's primitave form, Is pretty well coded into peoples brains.
You would see massive changes in social dynamics though.
Not the same but pretty cool nonetheless.

Pretty much this
They've found skeletons of hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Europe where the average height of the males in the tribe was 5'10-6'
Farming made people shorter and that trend continued all the way through to the 17th-18th centuries when people, or at least Europeans, were at their shortest. Average male height in Europe during the 18th century was something ridiculous 5'5. The Industrial Revolution must have been a truly awful time for the common man. For reference, the British colonist population in the USA was about 3 inches taller on average than the actual British population.
And yes, people have pale skin because grains don't contain much Vitamin D so the diet of grains made them lose melanin so that their skin could absorb more sunlight. That's why native Americans and Asians also have paler skin the farther north you go, they need more Vitamin D from the sun because their grain diet doesn't provide Vitamin D, and there is less sunlight, so they lose the melanin to get as much sunlight absorption as possible. As for why some peoples have paler or darker skin tones in the modern day is a matter of migration throughout the ages, people in Iran and Northern India have paler skin than those in Saudi Arabia and North Africa for example, despite being on the same latitude, and It's because the populations of Iran and Northern India are descended from the same proto-race of people, from which Europeans are also descended, and they were thought to have come from the Pontic–Caspian steppe (Modern day Russia), which is directly north of the Caucasus mountains, hence Caucasians.
This is pretty neat and worth a watch if you like the stuff posted in this thread

This is wrong
Some dude did a huge meta study of skeletons found in europe and discovered that people were manlets before the black death and during the little ice age - both times where the diet of the common man was shit. But in between these periods of high population and shit farming people weren't farm off modern averages.
Legionaries in Rome were around 5'8-5'10.
>>69677858
>Legionaries in Rome were around 5'8-5'10
but that's because it was a requirement to be taller than 5'7'' iirc, and legionaries weren't your average farmer
I hope he owns the land that he does all of this shit on. It would be illegal otherwise
>>69677924
>According to Steckel's analysis, heights decreased from an average of 68.27 inches (173.4 centimeters) in the early Middle Ages to an average low of roughly 65.75 inches (167 cm) during the 17th and 18th centuries.
>>69678169
173.4 centimeters is pretty short, and besides, after Rome it's only natural things got fairly worse
it's really only with modern diets we're getting back our height
