About This Video:
I built a kiln from bricks for the purpose of firing bricks. I started by using a brick mold made of fired clay from a previous video and made bricks from clay. The bricks were allowed to dry and were then transported to my hut using a brick carrying harness I made from cane and a piece of wood. They were dry stacked onto the wall of the hut to keep them out of the rain while waiting to be fired. I then constructed a brick kiln using mud as a mortar for adhering the bricks together. The kiln had 2 fireboxes side by side and was of the updraft kiln type. The kiln was open at the front and back so it could be stoked from these areas. This gave a more consistent firing I found then a kiln only with firebox opening at the front. I put 40 un-fired bricks into the kiln and fired them for 2 hours 30 minutes. All the bricks were fired sufficiently. I then tested an un-fired brick and a fired one by putting them in water. The un-fired brick dissolved quickly while the fired one survived completely intact. The test was a success. My only issue is the bricks are a little weak due to the clay they're made of. I'll look at refining clay or finding a better source somewhere in this area.
About Primitive Technology:
Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber.

the head cam with "the walk" was a nice addition. I appreciated this.

The head cam was a really nice touch. I think using it sparingly, like for this video, is a good idea.
-
imagine in the middle of the video he just said "I'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsor raid shadow legends"

I canceled my gym membership and started building a city in the woods with my bare hands. So far incredible gains.
-
I really like the POV walkthrough, from the hut to the kiln. It's nice to get an idea of where things are in relation to each other!
-
I think it's about time John invents the wheel. A cart would've been very useful at the clay hole.
-
I have to thoroughly appreciate how much effort this guy puts in. Complete with making his own bricks and cement! Even down to something as simple as the fire!!

"I'm really good with tinder." "So you get a lot of matches?" "No, I actually don't need matches at all, that's the point!" "...what? Then why are you using Tinder?"
-
I liked the "first person" perspective.Gave a whole different uh, perspective.

Reminder: turn captions on to read about everything he is doing!

Loving this new minecraft update , it looks so real now.

This man really be building houses and other stuff in the wild while I’m over here terrified of wasps that aren’t even close to me
-
For a hot minute I was like "Why's he filling it with bricks? Does that help the airflow or something?" Then i realized it's a brick firing kiln made of bricks for bricks.
-
The best part is that there's no music. Only sound of the nature.
-
There's just something so calming about watching these videos of you
-
I miss these videos. Hope they make a return soon.

Almost at 10million subs. Not a single word spoken No drama No clickbait No beautiful/sexy girls No B.S. This guy is a freaking genius.the goat.
-
"Yo, I need some bricks" "What for?" "More bricks" "Ok"
-
I remember when you first started on this channel and hadn’t yet reached 1000 subs... now you’re up to 10.4 million still in the forest in Qld doing your thing barefoot and in shorts. One of my fav channels.

It's amazing how amazing it is to make it only with natural things. Please keep doing a good job
