The Easting Reach

This Youtube channel "Primitive Technology" features an Australian guy who goes into the bushwilds on occasion to make these projects and films them. He uses primitive tools for all of his building. I found these pretty educational, maybe some inspiration for Ranger types or even Druids who want to help humans live sustainably.

I'm always really impressed with what this guy is capable of. He'd be living in near modern comfort after a few weeks while I would have finally managed to tie a rock to a stick.

Verily so. Just a few days of lost electricity and we are back to barbaric, cruel times. Thanks Kilaana for sharing this.

On a scale of 1-10, how tasty were your neighbours?

On topic, this really drives home how much we take modern comforts for granted. I have a sudden urge for a camping weekend.
