    Really cool video

    Guy builds a tiled roof Hut in Australia that had a heated floor/bed with no modern tools. Starts out by building a stone axe, makes a kiln, on and on. Very interesting https://youtu.be/P73REgj-3UE

    That guy reminds me of me... except he didn't age much while building his house.
    Every time I have strayed from the teachings of Skip Ellsworth it has cost me money.

    I love the mask mandate. I hardly ever have to bruh my teeth anymore.

    I spent 4 hours yesterday just cutting already downed and limbed trees to 16.6 ft lengths and loading them on my trailer to take home to mill. I want to know how he stays so clean and injury free. I have the benefit of a truck, trailer, chainsaw and tractor to load the logs on the trailer. I came home with numerous minor cuts, scrapes, bruises and was so dirty that my wife "made me" take off my extremely dirty pants outside before coming into the house.

    I want to know how someone lives such a primitive life and stays so clean and injury free.

    Practice. I used to get beat up some building. Now typically I can use the same chainsaw blade the entire build, and besides being sweaty and covered in sawdust, I'm no worse for wear

    I was thinking the same thing. There is a couple shots of muddy legs but I wouldn't dare carry around rocks like that without boots on, shoes at least. I'd have lesser toes.

    He has another video of him starting a fire with just sticks. It's taken me longer with matches on several occasions. If he starts a survival camp, I'm in!!

    Yah, but you're still a young stud. Wait till you get to my age where your skin is a bit more susceptible to injury. I almost always come home with a little blood and a few scrapes. The rare real injury but always minor stuff.

    I hear you Ed. Everyday I have a new scratch, cut, nick, or bruise. But I seldom remember how I got them!
