turns out i think he got a TV show deal and has been busy making stuff for that. he put out a post about it last year. sell out!

no, he's definitely in the pacific somewhere

northern australia has nice thick tropical forests and is super unpopulated, giving you plenty of space to build mud huts in peace

Wasn't he digging a tunnel/cave under his house with no support beams or was that another guy?

Reach for the moon!
What I liked about this guy is that he made sure to mention he didn't have any social media presence in his video descriptions, so that you could know right away any twitter account or whatever wasn't him and there was nothing out there to follow him on. Just not very often you see someone with an internet presence who actually has a private life, the person in that reddit thread says they contacted him because they were legit was wondering if he was alive.

another dude entirely, primitive technology guy just did narration-free videos of like stone knapping and cord making and brick firing and all kinds of cool neolithic poo poo

there are a ton of imitators but you know they are fake if they feature another person or any kind of spoken word at all, instead of a guy just living the ancient lifestyle as a hobby

Has anyone told him yet that you can just buy bricks and rope and poo poo at the store? He might find that information helpful.

Dude made probably like 2 million dollars from his youtube videos and now likes in a mud mansion instead of a mud hut.

Its the best kind of youtube success story, where a dude just makes some great videos that capture people imagination instead of being some hacky internet personality who calls themself a "content creator."

I hope he doesn't speak / narrate during the show.. but the chances of that are slim. Or maybe have someone else narrate.

Once i discovered he had CC enabled for the "narration", it was life changing.

And how was he so pale?!!

It's kind of nice to imagine that he would be out there doing that stuff anyway, and then one day one of his bros was like hey, film this.

Please stop this

We dont have bears, courgars, wildcats, coyotes, any large dangerous poo poo. Like the US does.

Its just bugs and heat, and thats generally far out of town.

Yeah its generally inhospitable if you leave the coast and go deep past all the farmland or real far up north, which then becomes kinda tropical eventually.

The Australia is dangerous thing is such a sad overwrought lie
