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.

      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.

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.

    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.

      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

      He lives in Australia, near the northeast I would say. That's one of the only places that has this kind of vegetation in Australia. He must also be rather far inland (due to the mineral content of the soil, iron and silica- probably from lime or sandstone. I would hazard a guess that it's near and or around Mt. Isa, but i could be wrong)

      Woodcutting and Construction also have to be pretty decent. He definitely can't have lower than level 58 Woodcutting since we've seen him cut eucalyptus.

      VampCoffee pretty sure from his bow and arrow video he also has 99 range and hunting

      VampCoffee ignore that, he was using a willow bow so he has 60 range

      Eh, could have just been using willow because he can't get a better bow. ;P
