Primitive Technology: Adobe wall (dry stacked) [video]

Well, somehow aboriginal people have survived without sealing up in their RVs. Also, as far as I know most of the Australian wildlife won’t attack humans unless feel threatened.

My understanding from his various posts online (and website [1]) is that he owns and lives near the land where the filming takes place. In Far North Queensland these sorts of areas would not be difficult to come across, not even far from a major town.

He probably just walks or (more likely) drives home each day.

"Also It should be noted that I don’t live in the wild but just practice this as a hobby. I live in a modern house and eat modern food. I just like to see how people in ancient times built and made things."

Insect-wise, Ross River Virus is a problem in that part of the country. It's spread by mosquito. You wouldn't catch me outside at night up there in summer, at least not without protection.

If it is of any help, you can get his latest videos via the feed at https://youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCAL3JXZSzSm...

The channel_id can be changed to retrieve videos from other channels.

Yeah, I have both feeds in my reader, YT is the only one that gets hits anymore. Here's the YouTube RSS feed (best way to subscribe to any YT channel): https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCAL3JXZ...

There's a book coming out (advert at end of this video), which has probably sucked up his writing time / attention.

He hasn't fired the bricks yet. He's just storing them until he accumulates enough to fire and eventually mortar.

There are captions on the video explaining some of it. This wall is only temporary storage of the bricks while they dry. The roof keeps them (somewhat) protected from rain until they're ready to be fired into stronger bricks.
