  • Can I get 1/2 mile into a cave using only primitive equipment???
    #fire #survival #challenge
    This is a primitive challenge to get half-mile deep into a cave to collect clay for pottery, using only primitive tools. In this video you'll see: Primitive Caving, Primitive torches, Chaga Fire, Hand drill, Willow Packbaskets, Clay Pottery, Acorn Processing into Flour, Survival Cement, Acorn Bread.
    I'll add a link for the pack-basket making soon. If interested, this other basket making video is similar but does not go into French Randing, Three-Rod waling

      He's also just playing. He has all the modern camera, batteries and backup gear. He'd never do this on a few pinecones without backup gear. It doesn't mean they all don't have the same skills.

    • @davearonow65
      @davearonow65 Před 7 měsíci

      @krisvq I don't know what your point is? Of course he has all that gear, he's making a video. As far as never doing it without that gear, this level of survival knowledge applied, is not something you read in a book or from watching videos. He can do all this stuff and knows all this stuff because he lived it and practiced it ad nauseum. I guarantee you he can, he would, he has, and he does do all this without the gear, or "backup gear" you mentioned. Not once, not twice, but over and over again. This dude has serious buschcrafting skills and they were gained by being out there doing it.

      I think doing history is one of the best ways to experience it. It isn't hard to imagine that this is something that our ancestors did at all, and doing it the way they would have is even cooler. It details out the efforts and thoughts they had. Puts you in their shoes rather than reading about it on paper.

    Incredible, he left the camera behind so he can film himself getting out, then when he got really far he came back to get it and made alot of trips back and forward, alot of work was put in this video, the editing is cutting perfectly hope you all the best dude.

  • @jacksongraydon2503
    @jacksongraydon2503 Před 3 lety +1

    I think in history if a large enough resource was found in a place like that it would have been a team operation with piles of torches staged throughout the cave and multiple people to hold/carry materials. Also a rescue person on the outside to go in if they didn't come out because of loss of light. Although I'm sure some people have done it this way.
    Very courageous to go in there alone. You connected to a universal human experience that you share with people who lived millennia ago

    This gave me a flashback to a time I was in a cave alone, just enjoying the dead silence in the dark. I was in such a peaceful relaxed state, then out of nowhere I had this feeling wash over me as if something was coming for me, and coming for me fast and to run. I ran out of there so fast that I didn't duck low and quick enough at the mouth and hit my back on the lip of the cave, tearing my shirt and peeling my back open.

    When I was a kid, me and my friends used to explore the caves where I lived for hours and hours all day. We used flashlights and flares. Those caves ran for miles. Recently, I had a job where the office I worked in was in a cave 300 feet under ground. It was more or less a business park under ground in caves. I think about 3,000 people work there.
