History

On May 2nd, 2015, the first video was uploaded to the channel, in which a wattle and daub hut are built entirely from scratch (shown below, left). Within ten months, the video gained over 8.3 million views and 9,100 comments.

On June 23rd, the /r/PrimitiveTechnology[3] subreddit was launched for discussions about the channel and other survival-related videos. On July 7th, the Primitive Technology WordPress[2] blog was created. On September 4th, Primitive Technology uploaded footage of the creator making a tiled roof hut (shown below, left). On October 30th, the channel released a video showing how to make a fireplace, chimney and pots (shown below, right), which subsequently reached the front page of the /r/videos[6] subreddit.



On November 27th, the channel posted footage showing how to make a sling projectile weapon (shown below, left). That day, the video reached the front page of /r/videos.[5] On January 18th, the channel was highlighted in a post on the hacking news blog Hackaday.[7] On January 22nd, Primitive Technology released a video showing how to make a cord drill an pump drill (shown below, right). In the coming days, the video was featured on the news sites BoingBoing[8] and Popular Mechanics.[9]

I like this.

I wish I had more access to places to do this myself… I always fantasized about building huts and hideouts and such from scratch when I was a kid…
