Hello

Mine was the clay tiled hut (the one with the in floor heating)

Indeed, manipulation of fire with primitive technique is cool.

Oddly enough, I found myself growing tense and excited, hoping it would catch.

It was tense!

For every person that commented “don’t skip the fire making process” there’s thousands of viewers who think “I hate watching him rub sticks for 15 minutes” who chose to say nothing. Instead of saying “don't ever skip the fire-making process” you should focus on “a beautiful capture of human determination.” There’s a bunch of ways to achieve that which don’t require 15 minutes of stick-rubbing. You’ve preemptively prescribed your own solution, eliminating potential alternatives. Instead of “door,” think “privacy.”

I remember him mentioning a while ago that he prefers doing it by hand because fire-by-friction is inherently a skill that needs to be maintained with practice.

@@XthorgoldX And in this video the pile of kindling did not want to start. I think it's the hardest I've seen him fight to get a fire going.

@@lucielm Are the handful of dry leaves and the stack of small sticks both considered kindling? My guess is yes, but I also feel like they are sufficiently different to warrant different terminology.

@@lucielm this is the longest I've ever see him starting a simple fire

@@essenceofsuchness Kindling is a stack of dry sticks and leaves used to start a fire. It's basically the step where you go from a fire starter to actually starting a proper fire. I don't know what you mean by small signs. I guess you mean random bits of wood to feed a fire which is a more modern but incorrect use of the term.

Same, i did lot little pots this way as child. Then depends still where you live, in my region you can get nearly pure clay while digging in certain places, so less purification, stones etc. As long you make just dried pots, nearly all clay will work. burning them in a kiln make it harder, you need good cleaned caly, or they may explode.

I am always baffled thinking about, that our stone age ancestors literally had the same brain as we do. The difference is only, that we sit on a mountain of experience, inventions and ideas we can build on. Somebody sometime had to come up with the first fired clay thing - once that was done, the next one could invent the first fired pot, then somebody found glaze - maybe even by mistake... and people just added to this ideas, expanded on them, took the ideas to new places until we can have this supercomputer in our pockets.

That’s why history is so important: it’s the collective experience of all of humanity.

I was raised in the boonies in a third world country. Primitive Technology videos is basically my life in the nineties. The contrast between my life today and back then wasn't apparent until I watch the guy recreate every thing, step by step, and my mind was blown by sheer awe and nostalgia.

But sadly, every now and then civilisations collapse and humanity goes back a few steps. And thankfully we are all tough enough to step forward once more and surpass the previous civilisation. If we keep this up, maybe someday we will reach the stars

Yup, that's why I never believed in all that ancient aliens bullshit. Our ancestors were as smart as we are today, arguably even smarter. They needed to invent all sorts of weird stuff like fire, writing and the concept of learning itself - all this while fighting for survival.

I speculate it'd come quicker, but I have no professional reason to.

Pottery? This is not even his final form.

Glad you like them! Thanks for your support.

Hello

The very first glazes were Egyptian paste, where soluble sodium salts migrated to the surface and melted the silica on the outside. Non-functional and decorative only. Even the Romans didn't really have functional glazes (as we think of it today), almost all of their pots were burnished or finished with terra sigillata (basically a way of coating the pot with very very very fine particles of clay that is basically one step up from burnishing. The first true glazes were all lead based.This requires a source of lead (not very easy in Northern Queensland) and was more than a little toxic. The Chinese had vitrified pottery and non-lead glazes well over 1000 years ago but that requires significantly better kiln technology.

When he did pit-firing of his first pots in this new place, he may have a produced a partial wood ash glaze on the big pot he made to boil water: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/l4l1qYJ6gLCTr2g.html

I used to make glazes as a studio tech in college, even the most basic glazes required sifting and measuring fine silica (and other mineral) particles with a respirator and safety glasses on. Any impurities in the glazes would cause problems in firing. I imagine finding and processing those materials in a non-sterile environment without PPE would be really difficult.

You had an AWESOME childhood. Seriously I work as an ECE, early childhood educator, the idea is that kids learn by playing and exploring and trying stuff. They’re such learning machines, you never know when a kid is just gonna invent clay

@@stealthlock6634 Honestly, that sounds like the absolute best job in the world! I would love to just spend my day outside with a gaggle of children, letting them play, get dirty and maybe even teach them some useful skills. Sounds demanding, but extremely rewarding. Children are so much smarter than many adults give them credit for, and more importantly, they ADORE learning new things and are always proud to show them off, that's how they can teach eachother things adults would never even think about. Like pottery! Or even how trade and bartering work, cause we had a game for that too that we just called "Market": Each of us would draw a chalk market stand on the road with various tiles representing different baskets. We'd then collect things from the surrounding area - pretty rocks, cool sticks, small animal bones from a cat's or other animal's kill (extremely cool and valuable!), berries, edible plants, a cob of corn that we picked from the neighbor, ect - and distribute our finds into the baskets we drew. Then we'd think of a few other things that we'd like to sell (those had to be different from what anyone else sold, for example one of us would sell vegetables, one of us would sell bread, and another basic tools) and we would then draw those into our remaining baskets. The last preparation step was that we counted out an equal amount of basic grey gravel for each of us (say, 15 rocks or so), and then, the game could finally begin. We'd walk around our little market stands for hours, trading for items we wanted from the others, and paying for what we couldn't directly trade for in gravel. That way, we eventually started to settle on prices for each of our items. We often fought about them when someone decided to rip the others off, but that was also part of the game. We also sometimes got "new customers" by advertising our wares to our parents who'd then buy something from each of us and promptly inflate the market with new gravel, thus causing everyone to raise their prices to ludicrous levels until we managed to agree on some kind of ceiling. If two of us were selling the same thing, we'd even commit predatory pricing to undercut the competition. Of course, we didn't know any of these terms, but situations like this still happened which I think is hilarious. At some point, we found out that it could be fun if we were able to combine items to make new stuff, for example combine some plants into a vegetable stew, berries, sugar and bread into cake, or turn a bird feather and a bone into jewellery. At this point, it basically became the alchemy game. If you could actually craft the stuff you were selling, that got you bonus points, and otherwise, you just needed to convince everyone that your concept made sense and was allowed to be sold. We'd usually spend at least an entire day, often more, on just one of these games. Some of them went on for almost a week until nature came to rain on our parade, because nobody wanted to admit defeat (and also because we spent alot of time inventing and crafting new things to sell) The winner was technically whoever had the most gravel and item value remaining at the end of the game, but I think we can all agree that the real winner was the market we crashed along the way.

@@magiv4205 I should make a setup about that, I know our kids occasionally set up sales for ladybugs or desserts (sand buckets) and accept pay in wood chips. I can help them use chalk to elaborate on that!

@@stealthlock6634 That sounds adorable! Even though I think we were slightly older than most of your kids from the sound of it, I think a slightly simplified version of my game could be a fun experience for everyone. And, even though you simplify it, they'll make their own rules soon enough haha. You could even combine it with other toys or activities, like maybe you do crafts with them at one point and they then get to "sell" their creations? Could be fun and a great source of creativity and pride. Though now that I think about it, you probably shouldn't overdo it as it could lead to some unhealthy competitiveness. They're supposed to have fun after all. But I'm sure you're more familiar with their boundaries than me. Man, I'll say it again, your job sounds awesome. Exhausting, but awesome.

@@magiv4205 Thank you! I’ll try your suggestions. Nice to meet you!

I'm curious if he can use a different friction technique. Look up PolynesianCulturalCenter, "How to make fire by rubbing sticks". The Samoan chief uses a horizontal friction method that looks faster and less strenuous. However the wood he uses is entirely dry and has great friction, so I suspect the best technique may depend on the wood type and condition.

I recall an archaeologist say “rubbing sticks would have been too hard on the hands” or some such statement but in truth it’s hard on modern hands, but as John demonstrates if you actually live this life it’s a very reasonable firestarter
