Ah yes, the "primitive builders" in SE Asia where the whole thing is actually fake.
TimeFoDat
I dug a 10-foot deep hole with an 8-foot diameter with a friend once. It took 2 days, we had shovels & a ladder. It was just a hole.
RideTheStimutacs
I once lived in a basement apartment where light only came in from the entrance, and it sucked. Prisons have more natural light than that.
RavenBlue
I always wished they showed how many days this takes to build.
Bobuzo
It was going to be twin mansions next to each other connected by an underground tunnel with a trampoline room in the center
mercbrit
The water is flowing out of the 1st pool 4 times faster than it’s going in, the 1st pool should be empty.
captncode
Imagine all the wildlife you'd have to remove from the pool every single morning.

Luke? Luke? Luke?
gunganjesus
My friend and I dug a 1.5m deep hole, covered it with some logs and called it a bunker
Lightsmith
One day
UserMCP
This is what Minecraft is for. lol
Finain
I 3D model all day for work. Come home work on my valheim castle. The grind never ends
PleaseNotTheFace
Complete with Kid Rock struttin' down the steps.
BabyGabey
Great place for a concussion
WhichIsIt
What is it about being a kid and wanting an underground house?
Kallikrates
The video of this being made was pretty amazing.
MarkCyst
It’s also pretty fake (their labor isn’t hand done by two men, rather a full work crew with excavators and other equipment).
Bytencoder
Is dolphin in town?
sarahsaurroar
Imagine walking around up top in the dark with groceries and just taking a plunge into the pit.
TheyDontKnowAndYouCantTellEm
Needs a snack bar! 8 yo's ALWAYS hungry!
Lostchild12
Interesting pool. One thin water feeds a small pool that feeds 4 very thick waters into large pool?
anotherIngloriousHandle
basically an in-ground pool conversion
OmegaYeti
In sand? no thanks.
5ywjdPumpkinPrincess
SaltyInternetPirate
sysaphiswaits
Hell yeah! My inner 8 year old is just happy the picture exists.
MarkCyst
Eh, these guys are a bunch of frauds, faking their videos as though it was just couple men without any modern tools or help, but yeah.
imasneakypineapplehead
You got some sauce for that juicy burger?
scissorxmextimbers
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvk63LADbFc
ruint
none of thast is usable space
NotmyUsername2000
What do you mean not usable? Get a couple beers or margaritas. Sit in the pool on a floaty. I don't need anything else until I leave. Lol
LaffertyDanie1
What would you expect from an 8 yo architect?
ruint
more bigger stuff
HamSlamwich
Well to be faihr there were two 8 year olds.
bigpahpa
Oh snap, I've seen this video! It's wild what these two can do.
TheFastpaws
It is all fake bullshit.
imonsei
oh you mean the scam youtube channels that have 30man work teams and pretend to do it 2 man with primitive tools?
supervillin
I mean yeah that's why it's so difficult at 8 years old.
override367
and leave the wilderness full of trash and completely torn up
skylark28
Yeah, that one.
GSA1386
Meanwhile I had a 30 man work team build my house and it seemed like it was built by a 2 man team with primitive tools... damn.
PocketFullOfHotDogs
Lol you guys will bitch about anything and everything. Like who tf cares, have you never enjoyed a movie before?
clintwestwud
Still better than the ones that put animals in danger to film themselves “saving” it for YouTube views. Those piss me off so much.
TheFastpaws
Don’t forget they leave it to rot in the jungle. Not to mention lie on geo tagging, etc to avoid local laws.
bl0ke
John Plant took 9 months to build a brick shelter. I can't fathom that kind of dedication.
jiynxed
About the only halfway honest thing they do is build their bullshit on privately owned land of theirs.
Cataleast
For more information on that whole thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvk63LADbFc
wazscience
Scam?
RideTheStimutacs
"Oh these? These aren't excavator tracks, they're uh... a rare weather phenomenon! Yeah!"
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
Yes. The liars who pretend to dig swimming pools in 10 days by hand with a stick.
Skywatcher16
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAL3JXZSzSm8AlZyD3nQdBA the only legit one
override367
upvote and sub to this guy because he deserves it for being genuine
MrJwinkyface
It’s elves, the dude goes to sleep and the next day all the work is done
lordquas27
Oh, I thought these guys were for real.
mikeatike
RogueAndPeasantSlave
See I believe Furze because he shows more of the process, the problems he faces, and that the project has been going for months
mikeatike
Yep, for sure. Also JerryRigEverything's electric hummer conversion. Mostly because it still doesn't work right yet.
mikeatike
Though documenting the failures is more entertaining than the successes.
Fravash
Not only that but they abandon these holes immediately and they become huge hazards to both people and wildlife.
5ywjdPumpkinPrincess
Yup I read that on a article
supervillin
mzr51653000
They're built on private land so it's not a hazard to anyone except the property owner
fartalert
You could just write "I am an idiot" instead
AerialAceAttack
Dude got ratioed by my man "fartalert". Gd
ZachariasWolfe
Ah yes, private land. It keeps all that pesky wildlife out when you draw arbitrary lines on a map.
thesmelge
Ah yes. All those trespassing wild animals deserve to drown in a weird mudpit.
AMBM2
Thank god the animals know to stay off private land.
mzr51653000
toffeebum
…and the wildlife?
kodiak931155
Its private property. The wildlife would be trespassing and thats illegal. /s
TomBrokaw
only those scofflaws that don't show proper respect for the LEGAL. PROPERTY. LINE.
TimeFoDat
It’s still better than the overseas content farms peddling wrong or straight-up dangerous life hacks. People have died & YouTube DGAF.
Astramancer
Same for lichtenberg wood burning. Kills tons of people every year and youtube takes down vids warning about how dangerous it is.
TheOneThatGotBanned
there must be some money in those videos, because a 30 man+ team will cost a penny or two.
TheOneThatGotBanned
also a bit relevant, the lag of clean up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEXXtPbP2rc
Karrtis
Not in a third world country.
IaintHuman
The word third world country sounds very degrading, even though what you wrote is true. Hiring people to work is not that expensive
Karrtis
Too fuckin bad. Undeveloped? Impoverished? It's all the same functionally. And yes it is. Go hire 30 hard laborers in Berlin and get back.
end3r420
Are they ive always wondered
TheYoungerChrisEvans
There's one or two channels that are legit, but there have been videos recently about how the rest are all fake.
jiynxed
You can see the excavators in the background, poorly hidden by piled up brush.
IOnlyNeedOneBall
First clue is they say it takes 40 days or 100 days each video. Uploaded 12 videos this year...
BenderBendingRrrrrrodriguez
Anything super-elaborate (like the working plumbing here) is a pretty reliable sign that it's fake.
BenderBendingRrrrrrodriguez
Real primitive build channels are impressive, but they don't perform miracles.
OneGuyWithSixGuns
Yeah. Some dude reported to have bought the land where these builds take place, and they've ruined his land. Pits of fetid water kill fauna.
Evi1Gav
Big giveaway - super clear blue water like they have flowing does not come from the local stream.
Timushi
Yup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvk63LADbFc
HappyShark
SunnyV2 is great
misterbil
this was great, thanks for sharing!
sundaymondayhippyday
GeneralWho
Enjoyable watch, thank you!
imonsei
not all, but a whole lot of them are.
dxt6191
Actually be all of them, but only one who is authentic is primetive technology guy
Goryofa
Like one isn't. The rest are.
thesmelge
Notice how they always seem to pipe the water from the same waterfall, with the same footage.
skylark28
And the water is always somehow so blue! Despite being in a dirt walled pool...
thesmelge
The exposé video I saw showed that they were just running it off of plastic piping. The walls aren't dirt though, they use cement.
thesmelge
They show them mixing mud and water then slapping it on, but they just use cement bags.
thesmelge
The actual waterfall is several hours from where they make their pits. It's all fake.
terriblethunderlizards
I like how the really amazing part is they can dig without hitting a rock every 2 inches.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Or, yanno, tree roots in the middle of the goddamned jungle.
certainlynotaserialkiller
they do, its just that the excavator that is (sometimes) just out of frame does not care
InfOracle
I live in CT. It's .5 inch layer of dirt, followed by small rocks, followed by bigger rocks, followed by one unified giant fucking boulder.
terriblethunderlizards
I like how i grew up in ct. I know exactly how it is.
realizedagain
When a friend of mine from Kansas visited Connecticut he was startled to find people still farming there.
theshinobi23
I can do that in my yard. It's all red clay, so each shovel load is heavy af, but still.
SyntheticReindeer
Uppsala in sweden is also mostly clay too, but it's banded glacial clays. Hell its more than 136 m deep at some parts.
cryptzicle
SE Wisconsin was terrible for that as a kid. 1 ft down was all red clay
ThomasThundersword
mine is red/orange clay. no rocks but in summer you can safely just say the whole ground is made of rock.
Oreozss
You live in oklahoma?
Ryebread91
Oklahoma has that too? Outside St Louis is all clay too.
LariCheltsy
Confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi here. Its clay all the way down
KaptainObveeus
ever been to Prince Edward Island? People are all amazed at the redness of the earth. They literally sell 'dirt shirts' dyed with the dirt.
Groznek
Yup, literally the only legit one is Primitive Technology as far as I can tell.
PedroBenecol
It is the original and only one I follow.
Seggs
another one i like is "how to make everything" theyre trying to recreate ancient technologies to unlock modern versions...
Seggs
and you can tell theyre doing it by themselves by how objectively bad the results are. it shows how patient and skilled older craftsmen were
Tarmaccian
There was another I used to watch, but they focused less on practicality, and more on fun challenges… only ended up with about 5 videos.
gordy77
My man, John Black, the OG

John Plant, no?

You're right, I knew it was a suitably tough one syllable

I got bands music I to one of his videos once. I loved his pulse jet phase.
mifdsam
The spinning knife belt is his greatest work, IMO
lumberjackman
Colin Furze isn't in the primitive technology genre
Keru
He's in the OSHA technology genre.
thepatioheater
Perhaps the commenter is from the future and Colin's methods are now considered primitive?
longtall
I think they are clumsily referring to the tunnels he is digging under his garden
