This is not the work of a man who lives off the grid, but rather the work of a man seriously invested in his hobby in the Australian bush. He invests a whole lot of time and energy to get the job done and explore the possibilities of the past. When it comes down to it, he does a pretty good job of it.
In this video, you see Primitive Technology creating a bed shed, a protected place up off the ground to sleep that is also covered against the rain. He is seen chopping down small (diameter) trees, digging post holes (remember he is doing this BY HAND), setting the poles, lashing them together using some sort of vine that looked wickedly prickly. He thatches the roof with grasses, he weaves a bed frame and more. He also creates a fire, close enough to reap the benefits of the fire without catching his bed and shed on fire.
Even though most of us have access to some pretty sophisticated tools, it's still pretty cool to know that all of this can be put together with little more than a bit of help from the natural world.

My luck: builds fire sort of underneath the raised bed. While sleeping bed collapses and I fall into the fire.
Good build, good bed.
But which way is the wind blowing
The tile roof house was better all made from clay from the earth
Look at all his videos.

People with low cost cell phones and living areas with poor cell service cannot enjoy these posts because of “page turning.” They are utterly useless to me and should be formatted more intelligently. Well, that is if it is not just about advertising!
