/out/ loves PT

except for that one guy who screams "shill" and throws a fit

>>976572
I'm interested in trying to learn the techniques once the snow melts.

I think it's cool that he's keeping these techniques alive, but I'm not interested enough to watch it (or any YouTube channel) with any regularity.

>>976576
Yep. Shattered just like a prehistoric chert blade would. That's keeping it real.

He only has ~30 videos, but he has a shitload of subscribers who check youtube daily for new videos. Truly one of the the best.

He makes me feel extremely jealous more than anything, because I live in the Siberian wasteland known as Canada, and he lives in a place where you can wander off into the woods and catch shrimp from the river...

Dude, I live in Czech Republic, where you can't even build a tent in the woods.

Canada is fucking awesome.

I think he invents techniques instead of exactly copying.

I mentioned this in an /diy/ thread, and I'll do it here, too.
The techniques he is using are authentic. What he is doing can be classified as experimental archaeology. The wattle-and-daub huts, the coiling technique of making pots, the kilns - all has been documented on prehistoric sites. There was a video, one of his newer ones, where he gave us a glimpse into what has happened to several of his constructions, how they had started dissolving. Had he documented this in a proper way he could have easily published this and it would have been a great illustration for researchers (not that such experiments haven't been published so far). What I've noticed that does not fit the Neolithic environment are the tiles and the primitive hypocaust he build in the very beginning of his channel. Still, my favourite channel on YouTube.

>>977637
You can. I do this almost every weekend. Same country.

>>979355
earliest known fired ceramic roof tiles are from 3000 BC Greece.

though hypocaust like beds are found in north china as far back as 7000 BC.

>>976766
you're not alone bro. It's not gay honestly i think i'm just sexually attracted to power and competence

My six year old daughter and I love him. We call him Mr. Caveman. Every video, we try to guess what will Mr. Caveman build this time. It's better than 99% of the bullshit you see on cable. He's absolutely incredible.

The most wonderful thing is, in the past he would already do this shit on his own, regardless, as some lone nutter. But in 2017, he just sets up a camcorder, uploads the footage to youtube, and the whole world gets to watch. Ratings wise, he gets more viewers than many cable TV channels. Zero production costs: just a recorder, a pair of shorts, and sticks and mud.

>> ($2000 ad revenue / 1M viewers) * (10M est. avg per video) * 25 videos * 0.55 after Youtube's cut =

>>wild ass guess, $275,000 income from his channel

You might like some of the stuff Northmen do. Everything is handcrafted from raw materials.

>It's better than 99% of the bullshit you see on cable.
thats because its not contrived. he's invested in it and not doing it so much for "show". Or at least, he hasnt got a producer telling him what to do, its natural and its him exploring early civilisation. Something like this imo invaluable. Truly a gem, a national treasure.

>>976783
This defeatist attitude (and probably a good dose of romantisiation) are the only things stopping you m8. Go for it

>>976618
this

>>982170
I like that he doesnt really talk during the vids (or didnt, i havent watched in a while). Hes producing content that has to stand on its own merits, not shilling some garbage persona like most youtubers do. And yet he does such a good job of showing us what hes doing that I feel pretty confident I could go replicate it. Actually, I intend to go try a few of his projects myself this year for fun.

>>976572
He's super cool. It's just really satisfying to see him go out there with nothing but his shorts and build shit, right down to axes and the lot, no modern tools to bootstrap anything.

Never before has a man been so based.

>>976576
shit like this is exactly why PT is so popular

hasn't said a single word or whored out for a quick buck and still gets a million views within a few hours
Just smart camera work and editing and its everything you need to know.

Back before he had millions of subs he would actually take the time to answer serious questions in the comments. We had a convo about loom style weaving, then a few months later he made those crude textiles with a loom. I doubt i was the first to suggest it or that he hadn't thought of it first, but I like to think he did it by my request.

>>983578
Damn, I just felt happy that he replied to one of mine. He had an animal skin drying in his wattle daub hut that I never noticed at first, later to be told that some animal ran off with it.
Still feelsgudman that he replied, at least.

>>982643
I'm also gonna try to replicate some of the stuff he's done. He makes this shit look so easy.
>pottery kiln
>forge
>the various tools at his disposal
His bow and arrow video made bowyery look so easy, except he didn't till the bow at all to my knowledge.
