    Great job man! This white lime is used here in southern Spain as a paint for the walls and tree trunks. Paint your house's walls with it and not only they will be preserved longer, but it will also fight funghi, moss, parasites and heat accumulation. White lime painted walls and tile covered floor is a classic formula for a cleaner, fresher and more beautiful house

    I feel so dumb. He keeps breaking rocks and showing me the inside like I am supposed to know what he is showing me, and I am like "yup, that's a rock alright" :P

    I'm pretty sure that is just "Non-hydraulic Lime Mortar". The Ancient Egyptians were the first to use lime mortars About 6,000 years ago, but they have been used all over the world including to face the huge pyramids made in central America. Actual Roman Concrete is based on Pozzolana, volcanic ash and the chemistry is very different (it has additional aluminosilicates and forms a geopolymer), in fact it will set under water whereas non-hydraulic lime mortar needs to slowly absorb CO2 from the atmosphere so that it can return to a limestone like state, but with the incorporation of the sand and or rock aggregate.

    The lime stone is also a good additive to iron furnace, when the stone is heated and turning to white qick lime, carbon monoxide (CO) is released , it helps stripping oxigen content of ironoxide , same method is being used in modern blast furnace process, mix some lime stone pebble into your baked iron ore nextime , hope to see the good result!! :)

    This man has so much talent that I am in awe. Story teller, script writer, actor, cameraman, editor, producer and talented and knowledgeable student of primitive skills. I wonder if he earned some kind of film making degree at a university. And I like that this guy shows what a normal man with a normal body can do. I don't prefer some muscle bound guy who clearly spends more time working out at the gym trying to look like Tarzan and eating stuff you wouldn't touch short of actual starvation than he spends in the wilderness. Primitive Skills is the guy who actually has it going on.

    My kids and I are glad you're back, they love your videos, though I have to stop them cutting down small trees to try and build what they see. Excellent work as always.
  • Tip: to make it faster, use pistons and a bit of redstone, so you can spam right click and it will be much easier

    The grainy dirt brown sand from the river magically turns into fine gray construction sand. How convenient...

    You should make a spinning grind stone for your tools now that you can make concrete

    Imagine being a tourist from a big city, getting lost in the rainforest for a month. Days go by, you're unable to catch food, youre cold, hungry and sick from eating the wrong berries and drinking dirty water. Then you stumble across this guy in his little paradise.
