Primitive Technology: Pottery and Stove

Clay bank in the creek Digging clay wetting Kneading stone table mixing clay to get dry lumps out Clay left to dry and stiffen. No further processing required Forming a pinch pot smoothing out cracks several pots (incase one breaks) drying pots next to fire Placing pot in hot coals Building fire around pot Covering completely with wood protects pot from thermal shock Pot glowing red hot, this is required for it to become ceramic The next day pot sounds strong and holds water Forming a cooking pot Coils added to build up walls Lip formed by pressing top outwards Making a lid to keep steam in Pot drying Firing pot Ash added to insulate pot while it cools Next day Making a 3 stone fire Pot boiling Converting fire pit into stove A trench is dug and soil excavated bridged over with sticks Soil mixed with water forming mud Forming the walls of the stove 3 lumps to hold pot (instead of rocks) Note fire wood can be placed over entrance to burn, the flames travel down and up into stove (this gives a safer fire when there is no pot on the stove) When pot is on sticks are fed between pot and stove wall Over stacked stove produces flammable wood gas Pot on the boil Pot Bowls Stove Pottery and stove

I love that he bought more land for the sole purpose of comfortable primitive living. Freshwater stream, more versatile vegetation, ample amounts of iron and clay.. I'm excited to see where this goes.

I'm still amazed at the amount of dedication and patience that goes into every video. From setting up the camera for one 2-second shot to taking the time to start every fire with sticks and hands it all amazes me.

He should go on the TV show "Alone". Would be funny to see everyone struggling and him living comfortably in a hut with an oven, a nice bed, dishes and tools.

He would need to find enough to eat, though, which seems to be the biggest issue for contestants on the show. Other than that he would probably crush it.

Woah he's buff.

this gave me flashbacks to the first time I touched a boob.

I hope he does a cooking episode where he shows us a stew or something he could make with all of this. I'd also be interested in learning about how to efficiently sanitize bowls, pots, and utensils in the wild.

His new place has kookaburras! Looking forward to the next video where he has to build a security door for his kitchen to keep the bastards from stealing his food

Huh, none of this looks familiar. Did he get bored with what he built and decide to finally roll a fresh world?

Looks like this one has ample water and clay near spawn... should be make for a quick early game.
