Primitive Technology: Round hut

  • Опубліковано 19 кві 2018
  • I built a round hut using palm thatch and mud walls to replace the damaged A-frame hut built a few months ago. The A frame hut was damaged due to torrential rain and poor design elements considering the wet conditions. The thatch had rotted in the part of the roof that gets shade. Moth larvae and mold grew and consumed the thatch in these places. The hut also tilted forward due to the back post being hammered in only 25 cm into the ground. So on returning to the property (it was cut off by flooded bridge) I began work on a new hut.
    The new hut was positioned further into the open clearing to get more sunlight. A 3 meter diameter circle was scribed and 12 wooden posts were hammered into the ground, each 50 cm deep for a sturdier structure. Lintels were then tied to the top of the posts joining the posts together. A tripod ladder was made from poles lashed together at the top and a platform lashed to its frame. The roof poles were then attached to the top of the lintels and lashed together at the top to form a conical roof frame, 3 meters at the highest point. Loya cane was then tied on the eaves to act as support for the ends of the palm thatch.
    700 palm fronds were then cut split and thatched onto the roof. The tripod ladder was used to climb up and thatch the roof from the inside. A cap was then made to put on the very top of the cone when the roof was almost finished.
    A drainage moat was dug around the hut and the excavated soil was placed on the hut floor to raise its level above the damp ground. A deluge tested the hut’s water shedding abilities. Torrential rain fell while a fire was kept going inside the dry hut. The drainage moat flowed like a stream during the heavy rain event.
    Loya cane was then harvested and woven between the posts. This formed a low wall. It was then daubed with mud inside and out. The clay from this was taken from the drainage moat. Rain falling into the moat meant that water didn’t need to be collected from the stream to mix the mud. This is another benefit of the drainage moat.
    The low wall allows light and air into the hut. With a fire going in the central pit, mosquitoes are kept at bay. The central fire pit produces smoke and heat that will hopefully prevent moths laying eggs in the roof (the caterpillars of which eat thatch) and will prevent mold from growing. The hut will be used as an undercover work space for future projects.

      Aditya kalau video primitive tutorial lainnya aku ga percaya 100% dilakukan pakai tangan. Pasti di sela2 video mereka pakai alat2 jaman sekarang. Kalau disini dari nyalain api, nebang pohon, buat kapak, buat ember dll. dijelasin dan juga video shootnya sederhana tapi bagus sound-nya juga bagus (natural) ga terlalu alay plus caption nya ada berbagai bahasa.

      I wouldn't mind separate vids/ a separate channel that discusses the processes as commentary.
      But I would hate these videos being 2 minutes of working shots, then 3 minutes of "Okay, now that the mud has dried I'm going to place it in a shingle formation." Then 2 minutes of that, then "Okay guys, going to pause for a moment to tell you about Dollar Shave Undies." Which makes a lot of woodworking channels (my profession) really obnoxious. Ishitani furniture is the best woodworking channel.
      Edit: never mind, totally forgot about captions, these vids are perfect

      @_motho_ 3 роки тому +46

      Skill, patience, and lots of research. The methods he uses might not work for you since you may not live in the same climate or biome that he does. For instance, lawyer cane is INCREDIBLY useful, but it does not have many analogues in other places in the world. In the US, the closest you could get is cattails or reeds, but those are a pain in the ass to harvest and can be dangerous too. Do research on how ancient peoples lived in YOUR area, and try out those techniques!

  • @Kelnx
    @Kelnx 2 роки тому +20

    I'm beginning to realize this area he is in has to be the most perfect for doing these things. Palm fronds and cane, but also genuine forest, good clay, good soil, plenty of water, lots to eat and plenty of sunshine to grow things. It's a bushcrafter's paradise.

    Here in Mexico I went with a group of teenagers called MJC (hopefully some watch these videos too) and we built huts with full sized tree trunks, dead of course. Even with a team of 7-11 people, with actual axes, machetes and knives, rope and more. We needed 3 whole days to end up with the hut, it had 2 floors and little divisions. But imagine the time and effort this guy has just to do one of those huts with all of the restrictions he puts on the making. I'm genuinely impressed. Keep it up man!

    No dialogue in these videos is really the icing on the cake. We silently watch him as he silently works. Stoically focusing on primitive technology and giving it the attention it requires. No earbuds in, no cellphone to pull out. He isn't saturated with modern technology trying to grasp is attention and convince him to do things he never needed to do.(Minus camera adjustments which is necessary)
    Just a truly uninhibited man in his natural habitat. It's the best.

      Death By Cognitive Dissonance well ok sure, but what I took it as is the silence serving strongly to the classic cinematic tool of "show, don't tell". I dont watch too many survival or bushcraft videos but a grip of what I have watched had to do with the host bogging down everything with lengthy explanations and then having big time skips to make up for the time spent yakin' on about the given subject.
      With this guy it's just "You wanna learn? Watch closely. Getting lost? Captions will help you follow along".

    Make a poster of that shot of "Axe and pot in new hut", frame the shot a little bit, it is oddly compelling.

      He you should still be proud of what you built, it took thousands of generations (maybe even millions) for mankind to get where it is now, be happy that you have the advancements of technology to aid you in your life so we don't have to live like this poor man on his primitive island (lol)
