About This Video:
I tried building wall from fired bricks mortared together with mud rather than ash cement due to the mud being easier to produce, especially in the wet season when fire is difficult to produce. 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.

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.
