Nice site. It reminds me of the Primitive Technology channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAL3JXZSzSm8AlZyD3nQdBA


This is more like what everyone dreamed primitive technology would be. Instead every video is him using the same four techniques over and over again and not progressing through the tech tree.


He's 20, we should probably give him a few years before we judge him for not progressing.


Wow he’s 20? I had no idea


He's not. He(John Plant, which is a great nominative deterministic name for a primitivist) is 36 now, and was 31 when he started the channel.

Thanks for setting the record straight, I stand corrected.


:+1: no worries all good
