I'm not really seeing a lot of elements in the design that aren't scalable.

Primitive makes horrible chucksheds. Uses like the most spindly fucking saplings as stucture to hold up the heavy ass roofs he puts on. Death traps really... Plus he doesn't debark anything.

You just have to experiment roof styles and designs.. They are the hardest part. The structure is easy if you over engineer everything you cannot be wrong.

Maybe building what amounts to adjoining shacks, keeping the main structural bits isolated in case one fails. Assuming theres no hvac or electicity.

I'm not seeing how the basic techniques here are wrong or can't be adapted to something bigger

Obviously, if you're doing the walls ahead of the roof, you want to get a bit of good weather so you can have everything done before the rain comes.

have you checked this out? written by one of the founders of the Boy Scouts and published in 1914 so it's the real deal.

I have this. It's good but doesn't cover mud/ stone structures at all.

Well OP you're gonna have to be sent to a third world country to report on their methods. Write your own damn book. I'd buy.

Why do people ask stupid ass questions like this instead of using google or youtube for 30 seconds?

>>922436
They want attention.
