He's built a few houses. I know he made a kiln and made clay tiles for a roof. Can't remember if he made bricks or not. On one of them he had vertical sticks and then horizontally weaved smaller sticks through the vertical sticks, then took mud/clay and covered the whole thing.

Edit: Here is the video of that house build. The walls are layers of rock and clay.

The guy literally starts with nothing. No tools, just bare hands. Grabs a rock, smashes it against another rock until he gets a sharp edge on it, then goes from there.

Impressive, I watched a film made by an old guy back in the 30's, he went into the woods with an ax. Each day he filmed his work.

In a few months he had a log cabin, a garden, a food catch up in the trees and a fishing dock.

Would love to see 1930's version. But maybe you meant: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Proenneke 1969?

What happened to him, no videos in over a year??

I forget where I read it, but he is apparently working on a new show/documentary/project with a major network (Discovery or similar). Since everything he does takes tons of time, he has probably been filming constantly for the show and simply has no time for his YouTube channel.

Yeah, I was just thinking that. I subscribe to his channel and have seen a notification in a long time.
