]]> Technology is such a basic part of our lives at this point, that it’s hard to imagine a society without. Where would we live without heavy machinery to build our brick and mortar homes? How would we warm or cool our houses without modern air-conditioning? But some folks aren’t happy with all that reliance on machines and they try to survive completely without it.

John plant is just a regular guy from Queensland, Australia, with one unique hobby—he likes building stuff from scratch with his own two hands. He started getting interested in building without tools as a kid, and by the age of 11, he built his first hut.

John’s process is simple—if he wants to build something, anything, he starts from scratch. He only uses what is naturally available to hi, like dirt, rock, wood, and water. If he wants to chop down tree leaves to make a roof for his hut, he first has to build an ax from a sharp stone and a branch; if he wants bricks for that hut, he needs to make clay from dirt and water and shape it into bricks.

After university, John started recording his projects on his YouTube Channel, Primitive Technologies, and without even knowing, created a new genre of videos. Folks were hooked— they loved the idea of creating useful, necessary things with no modern tools. Today, John has 10 million subscribers, who follow his adventures, and sometimes try to build stuff from scratch just like him.
