Primitive Technology: Purifying Clay By Sedimentation and Making Pots

This should help with the time consuming step of getting sticks and rocks out of clay. Once you have a sedimentation pit you just top it up with clay and water each time you walk past and you'll have a clean source of clay handy for good quality pottery.

I appreciate that long uninterrupted shot of you starting the fire. Showcases how much effort goes into each little step of your craft. These videos are always such a treat to watch, slow, no music, no effects, just you and your craft, nicely shot and edited.

I’m a potter, I learned to to pottery around the same time I discovered your videos. You went away for so long and in that time I’ve learned so much and gained an appreciation for it, and to have you come back now doing pottery in a primitive context strikes something really deep within me. Pottery is one of the oldest art forms and it’s principles carry through time. All potters are connected through the art, and you especially have found a way to connect to our oldest art “ancestors”. It’s tremendously moving.

I remember when I discovered your channel years ago. This was before your land spot you used with the water hammer. I was hooked after the first one I saw (making stone hammer or knife, some tool that required you to braid grass(?) or plant). Then you had a book come out and I was really impressed by that. Glad to still see your doing well and putting out videos. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment you have given me!

Please don't ever skip the fire-making process, that was a beautiful capture of human determination. I love how refined the process is for you, now, but you still treat each time as importantly as the last.

Thank you for teaching us to appreciate the level of civilisation we reached so far.

For anyone who has nott noticed yet, there are subtitles that explain every step he undertakes in nice detail. It is very interesting to learn about the purpose of every step.

Not only does the clay look good, it looks higher quality and you can produce more much more quickly. I think this jump in efficiency is pretty impressive.

This remains the highest quality channel on YouTube. Amazing work.

My two year old son loves your videos and becomes LOCKED IN. Thanks for continuing to post. When he’s older I’m going to let him watch these and see what we can make in the woods together.

it's impressive how close in pitch the sounds of tapping the different pots were, it's a neat show of consistency

I love this dude's arc he had with the fire-sticks. He went from "Dang, making fire this way sure is rough, I'll make a tool to make it easier" to "I got good, the tool just slows me down." Incredible.

His dedication to this channel and the education he provides will always be appreciated!

I hate how many channels copied a similar name to yours for views. They cant compete though since yours is authentic primitive content.

The purified mud awoke a deep memory I had when I was a child. I don't exactly remember the place, but the feeling when I touched the wet "pure" mud was so satisfying and felt like the soil was alive. This channel is so special in a spiritual way.

This is the only genuine primitive channel I've ever seen. The rest use machines behind the scenes and try to cover it up. Thanks for all your hard work! I really enjoy the learning experience, and it's also sort of asmr for me. Thank for being genuine as well!

Your whole channel is a study in reconstructive archeology. I can actually picture our ancestors of old developing this process through trial and error, and out of necessity to simplify things. You are truly a gift to humanity my good man.

Honestly, regardless of the subject matter, this is a prime example of why YouTube is such a great medium (and the internet in general). We get these educational, high quality, high effort videos, completely void of any advertising or time-wasting. It's just 100% content we get to enjoy and learn from, completely free of charge. Thank you so much!

The original OG of primitive world.. no fakeness, no BS.. just pure knowledge.

This guy is potentially the greatest educator in all of human history: Considering the amount of people he reached and the valuable (potentially life saving) information he provides. Anyone can visit his classes, independently of language, age or level of education. Respect.
