Primitive Technology, North Queensland, Australia.
Mid 2015, less than twelve months ago from the writing of this post Primitive Technology crafted a YouTube channel and began uploading videos.
In his words “Primitive Technology is a hobby where you make things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. This is the strict rule. If you want a fire- use fire sticks, 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 modern technology. If this hobby interests you then this blog might be what you are looking for”.
The man, since nicknamed “Prim” by numerous media outlets has thus far remained relatively anonymous. All anyone really knows (Other than his family and friends) is that Prim lives in the far North of Queensland, Australia. By his own admission, he lives in a modern home, eating modern food.
Prim researches the primitive techniques once used by our ancestors online and via books. He has also acquired great knowledge and understanding of local substances and minerals, more importantly, he has learned how to process them in an almost forgotten way.
This series of videos are truly fascinating and we simply could not pass the opportunity to share them . On an educational level they are simply magnificent and each one as they are released leaves us awe inspired and waiting in great anticipation for what’s next. The lack of narration in the series makes for truly encapsulating viewing. This series of videos is simply not to be missed!
One thing to note is that Prim is happy to engage with his audience a real rarity in this day and age. So, if you have questions of your own we highly recommend heading over to his blog to ask.
