The wall initially survived heavy rain as it was being built but eventually collapsed near completion, likely to being built too fasts before the layers could dry. If I try again in future, I'll wait a day between layers and only build in dry weather, though this experiment showed that this method will survive heavy rain up to over a meter in wall height. Next I continued on from the last video and successfully fired the roof tiles in the new kiln. The ash was pelletised to make ash cement for future use. Then I made a new batch of tiles and some bricks as well for the next firring. Hopefully the weather dries up soon so I can build a permanent workshop for the next wet season, I need another tiled hut (in addition to the current 2 walled tiled hut) that won't rot in the wet weather like thatch does. 0:00 Mud mortar experiment 11:21 Drying roof tile/ making kiln 13:03 Firing roof tiles 19:13 Making next batch of tiles and bricks About Primitive Technology: Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials.
