    About This Video:
    I built a kiln from bricks for the purpose of firing bricks. I started by using a brick mold made of fired clay from a previous video and made bricks from clay. The bricks were allowed to dry and were then transported to my hut using a brick carrying harness I made from cane and a piece of wood. They were dry stacked onto the wall of the hut to keep them out of the rain while waiting to be fired. I then constructed a brick kiln using mud as a mortar for adhering the bricks together. The kiln had 2 fireboxes side by side and was of the updraft kiln type. The kiln was open at the front and back so it could be stoked from these areas. This gave a more consistent firing I found then a kiln only with firebox opening at the front. I put 40 un-fired bricks into the kiln and fired them for 2 hours 30 minutes. All the bricks were fired sufficiently. I then tested an un-fired brick and a fired one by putting them in water. The un-fired brick dissolved quickly while the fired one survived completely intact. The test was a success. My only issue is the bricks are a little weak due to the clay they're made of. I'll look at refining clay or finding a better source somewhere in this area.
    About Primitive Technology:
    Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber.

      @stuartdearaujo6245 5 років тому +7

      I'd love it if he made a video on how he's thinking through developing the area, since it's relatively new. ie, where the huts will go, where the water filter system will go, where the fish pond may go, where the farm will go, the hole for mining clay etc etc etc... and why. He may have to speak to do it, which would break his brand.

    • @kishascape

      I think Zed has a point. He basically is doing what humanity has been doing most of the time during it's existence. The fact that what he is doing is so simple and yet he's so successful only shows that this is our habitat. I hear everyone in the comments saying how calming and relaxing this channel is but noone is questioning why or if maybe urban life isn't the best thing for us after all.

An Intensive Care Unit registered nurse for my surgery ~19 years ago was a Korean American named "Mrs. Noh"; both her husband and her brother-in-law were MD's, therefore each was called "Dr. Noh" -- sounding the same as "Dr. No" in James Bond 007.
