I built this tiled roof hut in the bush using only primitive tools and materials. The tools I used have been made in my previous videos. It should be pointed out that I do not live in the wild and that this is just a hobby. It should be obvious to most that this is not a survival shelter but an experiment in primitive building technology.
To cut and carve wood I used the celt stone axe and stone chisel made in this video. To carry water and make fire I used pots and fire sticks made in this video. Finally, to store fire wood and dry, unfired tiles, I used the wood shed built in this video.
The wooden frame was built with a 2X2m floor plan and a 2m tall ridge line with 1m tall side walls. 6 posts were put into the ground 0.25 m deep. The 3 horizontal roof beams were attached to these using mortise and tenon joints carved with a stone chisel. The rest of the frame was lashed together with lawyer cane strips. The frame swayed a little when pushed so later triangular bracing was added to stop this. Also when the mud wall was built, it enveloped the posts and stopped them moving altogether.
A small kiln was built of mud from the ground and a perforated floor of clay from the creek bank. It was only 25 cm internal diameter and 50 cm tall. Clay was dug, broken tiles (from previous batches) were crushed and added to it as grog and it was mixed thoroughly.This clay was pressed into rectangular moulds made from strips of lawyer cane to form tiles. Wood ash prevented the clay sticking to the stone. 20 tiles were fired at a time. 450 flat tiles and 15 curved ridge tiles were made with only a few breakages. 26 firings were done in all and the average firing took about 4 hours. The fired tiles were then hooked over the horizontal roof battens.
An underfloor heating system was built into one side of the hut to act as a sitting/sleeping platform in cold weather. This was inspired by the Korean Ondol or “hot stone”. A trench was dug and covered with flat stones with a firebox at one end and a chimney at the other for draft. The flames travelled beneath the floor heating it. After firing it for a while the stones stay warm all night with heat conducted directly to the sleeping occupant and radiating into the room.
The wall was made of clayey mud and stone. A stone footing was laid down and over this a wall of mud was built. To save on mud, stones were included into later wall courses. The mud was dug from a pit in front of the hut and left a large hole with a volume of about 2.5 cubic metres.
The finished hut has a swinging door made of sticks. The inside is dark so I made a torch from tree resin. A broken tile with resin on it acts as a small lamp producing a lot of light and little smoke. The end product was a solid little hut, that should be fire and rot resistant. The whole project took 102 days but would have taken 66 days were it not for unseasonal rain. For a more in depth description see my blog (https://primitivetechnology.wordpress.com/).

El amo del mundo excelentes trabajos!!
Todo bien pero que hacer con los bichos y arañas y posibles serpientes que se refugiaron en esa cosa sin una sola fuente de luz cono una ventana. Ahhh que hacer frente a eso
Mobs can spawn under light level 7
I missed when he discovered fire!
This dude just invented something we haven’t even discovered yet: a heated bed mattress
his shorts are the key to survival
The roof tiles aren't fastened on. What's to stop a strong wind from wrecking the roof?
Wow just like minecraft

I like how he hasn't even coghed I can't go five minutes without talking : like if u agree
Ficou legal ,só faltou uma janela , parabéns pelo trabalho
황토방 제작 성공.
Ive yet to see you making tools out of animal bones or clothing out of hide, could that be a path you would go down ?
me and my sister built a hut that could fit three people if they all lay on top of each other, entirely out of sticks and branches from a dying tree in our front yard. It took us two days (it might have taken us one if we didnt break so much and have schoolwork) but im just in awe of how people can do this with by themselves.
온돌을 만들다니
que tiempo te tomo contruir toda esa cabaña? what time need for this construction ?
Juuuust sit right back and you'll hear a tale…….
Cool! And what about raining? Will it stand?
I thought he was making a clay iPad at one point
The first minute in the video….how much time was irl?
Hani sinemada yanınızda oturan, filmi daha önce seyretmiş kişi, ha bire filmi anlatarak zevkinizin içine eder ya… Milleti aptal sanıp, seyrettiğini anlamayacağını varsayıp, ha babam sahneyi anlatarak (yazarak) aynı etkiyi sağlamıştır.
We need this guy to rebuild Notre Dame ASAP.
He would be shit out of luck in New York City .
Awesome work. I am not an engineer but the roof weight must be a lot. I wouldn't have expected the frame to support it.
老哥NB,一直关注,就是没时间实践,所以一直存着,就等第三次世界大战爆发了,或者流落荒岛
Esta super
this guy is a survival warrior..may god bless his hands
Thats what u call using your hands!
perfeckt
Best glue for the cabin
8:56 — If one can see light through the roof then wouldn’t there be a leak? How can one minimize such leaks given the inherent lack of uniformity of roof tiles?
Which country is he from?
What
OMG, UnDerFlOOr HeAtin' sYstem?
Maybe 80 years later he would be able to create a solar panel
Who thinks that when he just made a shelter it looked so cool. But when the shelter gets older, it became very bad.
Edit: i didnt mean to mock, or underestemate, or somethig
日本人いるかい?
Very good..but what happens when the winds go above 15 miles per hour?.still it is very cool.
Impressive. But how did you post this on YouTube without power and wi-fi :+)
When humans have gone to far for laziness
Him:yeah not gonna happen
