    Seeing your collection of baskets reminded me that this was once the type of wealth people aspired to have, along with domestic animals and tools. How much society has changed, with people now often wanting things that have no practical value. Also, watching you work with your stone chisel only increases my appreciation for my steel chisel, which cuts well even though I don't sharpen it often enough.

    You know I think why Primitive Technology has gotten so popular (and developed a loyal following) so soon is because humans are hard wired to enjoy the primitive life. If you scroll down the comments you can see many people stating that they get so excited when there is a new video in their feed. Some people may not get why someone would be excited to watch a basket being made, but I do.
    The basket is not important, it's the feeling that YOU are out in the woods doing these things. You can step into his shoes and feel like all your troubles have gone away. Life is simple and you do simple work. No expectations to get a good job, or to look cool or to do anything, just living. That's why he doesn't talk in his videos, the instant he talks part of the fantasy is dispelled. You realize it's not you out there in the woods but some other guy.

      It is the expression of human potential. Without guys building straw houses and rock axes there would be no NASA. Not to mention how much millions are wasted on research that isn't done right. STEM research in USA for example yields ANY kind of fruit 4/100 times. That isn't 4/100 cures, but 4/100 even potential done-right researches. Sooo yeah, the simple life, the self-relience? I'm sure it's better in some respects.

    • @MysticalGamingGuys
      @MysticalGamingGuys 8 років тому +2

      The problem some people face today is dedication and determination. I believe This stems from the complacency people have with themselves, why go out and learn new ideas of strive for greater aspirations (such as NASA) when there is an app to do if for you. The lesson to be learned is to not necessarily live the simple life but to instead demonstrate, as you say, human potential.

      Most of our wildlife is small, and Cats, Foxes, Feral Pigs and Cane Toads have put enormous pressure on them. Larger species have suffered catastrophic habitat loss to farmland and pasture. So in order to protect the remaining populations, most native species are more or less protected.
      There are two or three large kinds of kangaroo that are legal to hunt in some areas, apart from that it is restricted to feral animals.

      You would have to research (or use trial and error) on the various plants in the area. Which ones are limber enough to do the weaving? Which ones are not? What bark can you strip to make lashing? and so forth. Most primitive cultures in forested areas had similar skills and worked in similar ways with the materials they had. It's just a matter of knowing what things will work in what way in the area where you are.
