Man, that floor looks beautiful. A lot of hard work though. And from your comment "100 times better than a dirt floor" means well worth the effort. Thx for filming this and sharing it with us.

Chad zuber, thanks for making these videos and showing us everything, unlike other channels and i hope to become like you one day.

I was watching this with my (other) 1-year old and realized your content is perfect for babies too! Slow paced, neutral and natural. Thanks again!

Just love that ''previously on primal tendencies'' part of the video. Reminds me so much of the beginning of the Primitive Tendencies series in 2021. I was there from the episode 1!

I'm so happy for you Chad, I'm sure your comfort has increased a lot. Congratulations, it looks very nice :) We are looking forward to the continuation of the series :)

the hut becomes more and more comfortable

Hi Chad. Is nice to see you back. I’m always waiting for your new videos .im always amazed with your talent and imagination.thanks for sharing with us, just tow words ,excellent job. 👌👌👌👌

MOVING FORWARD MR. CHAD... EXCELLENT JOB 👍🏻

Excellent, hard work. You should continue the stone floor a little outside your hut too. To help to not bring as much dirt in. Great job 👍🏼

You could take those two cow hides and see them together, stuff them with grass and make an awesome mattress that way

This channel is the best there is

Wonderful, wonderful! Great job. Nice videography, beauty night sky. Enjoyed, thanx

Finally, I was waiting for when you will decide to do something about floor.

Solid work here Tarzan you really did a phenomenal job making the floor stronger

It's like going back in time with your videos, the floor was certainly an important invention to remove dust, the cow skins on the floor are the ancestors of mattresses and carpets, beautiful video o the evolution of human comfort. ❤ 

Не могу передать своё восхищение твоей работой!!! Завидую тебе, возраст и здоровье не позволяют повторить что-то подобное...грустно, но гляжу твои ролики это так позитивно!!!

Hello my friend chad I appreciate the effort this work requires. This technique of stone paving was used in ancient times for paving roads, building stairs in the mountains leading up to caves, and paving floors at cave entrances. However, it was not used for lining areas designated for sleeping or sitting. Instead, you can make a mixture of clay and straw, knead it well so that it is more than 10 centimeters thick. After that, it is soaked with water and smoothed by hand or with a flat piece of wood, then left to dry. It will become hard and strong, and will not produce dust. Using clay mixed with straw was common because it provided a soft and comfortable surface and acted as a natural thermal insulator, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the caves. This was particularly important in harsh environments where caves were used as permanent or temporary shelters.Flat stone paving is used for thresholds, cave entrances, and primitive stair steps. I have built stone stairs in one of my videos using this technique without using clay, and they were stable and strong. Thank you for sharing your amazing skills.

Очень жду следующие видео. Благодарю за то что вы есть 🙏🏻 Мне безумно нравится ваш контент, он очень познавателен и интересен.

Brother video, it looks amazing every now and then

Fantástico,este es el vídeo que más esperé ver🙌👏 te quedó increíble,felicitaciones y esas piedras tienen un color natural muy lindo.Y que decir de la última toma de la choza con la chimenea prendida y ese maravilloso cielo estrellado,¡tanta hermosura!.tienes toda mi admiración.

Thank you Chad 👍🏻

I love the renovations

That looks like it’s a significant upgrade. Sweet dude

Estas ganando en comodidad e higiene. Bravo Chad siempre te superas.

Awsome!

I waited for this episode for a very long time.

Hi Chad, You may find that the stone floor will be a bit cooler in summer and pick up some heat (from the fire) on colder days. You may also find that some of the spaces between the big stones will need filling with small ones. All in all, this is a big step forward. Great job. ;-)

That first opening statement and i already know that the tiles on the outer edges and the stones in the center/pathways is going to look super awesome! I was also thinking the same thing about the adobe tiles, they are like maybr an inch thick and for heavy trafficked areas you would want like 2 or 3 inch thick tiles at the least. Those 1 inch thick tiles i can totally see shattering if you took a knee with some decent force when you are exhausted or holding something odd or heavy.

Wow Chad that looks absolutely amazing!!! Yabbadabbadoo! 😊

If juniper tends to be too brittle and in too short pieces for bow making, you could try making an Inuit style cable-backed bow. They have separate limb pieces lashed to a handle to connect them and a cable backing. The Inuit could make driftwood, which is extremely brittle, into functional bows, so I am sure it would work for juniper.

Very very nice❤

This is the one project I've been waiting for somebody to do in a hut, fantastic!

This looks so good! And the images of the Milky Way were amazing.

yuppie, continue the fascinating series

Epic stuff thanks for sharing your epic journey Chad 😎

Your camera angles and the accompanying sound of your physical efforts transport me right into your little habitat. I feel as if I am performing these tasks myself. Good job, buddy. Now you can relax and enjoy the fruit of your labour. (sub'd)

I plan on doing the same one day but in the Cascade mountains. Build me a traditional Celtic roundhouse, and farmstead; complete with the two outer fences. Just me, my Japanese futon, raising animals and live off of what I grow along with foraging. Plus raise bees for honey and make mead.

Ha aprobado usted el curso, señor Zuber; Es usted, oficialmente, un profesional del suelo de rocas.

Oh Yea You did it ! Greate job ! Looks so much better . + 500% to comfort😅

Such a beautiful floor❤ can't wait to see the 'after'

Chad Zuber I love you. That is all! ❤❤

this episode is amazing please make more episodes

Absolutely Gorgeous!

I. Iss youv😊 it's so nice to see you back 🙃🥰

Always inspiring to watch your videos. Great job!

10:54 with this awesome floor made, the very next video, a good broom should also be made. I'm sure there are plenty of fluffy/twiggy plants around.

Grazie Chad 🤗🙏

Mr. Bean's Measure System 😆😆😆👐

Linseed oil is also a great natural way to finish it. Flax seeds are collected, dried, mashed and then steamed to release the oil. There's videos on it

Amazing work Chad!! Thanks for the video!

Wow, that floor looks great!

Grazie mille Chad😊😊😊😊😊😊

أعجبتني فكرة الصخور الراسخة في أرضية الكوخ.. هذا أفضل بكثير من صفائح الفخار. يجب أن تكون ثابتة كفاية الآن للدوس عليها وممارسة الأعمال في الداخل. كان هذا عملا رائعا تشاد بالتوفيق 🌷👍

Вийшов дуже гарний результат👍

I’ve seen your videos, especially those of you in nature, and the challenges in the desert and the greens.

Great. I really like your creativity. 😀🖖👍

sooo satisfaying to watch

You can solve the bager problem by covering the way that leads inside by making cover with sticks and a cloth

Nice video, Chad! Really interesting to watch

Thanks for this video ❤

Many people do not like to watch silent videos for a long time, so I think that if you explain some things through words, the video will come alive.

Good job 👍

Wow that is a great idea👍 it looks fantastic with the stone and the tile edge and the cowhide👍 fantastic, tremendous stuff. Great video love the time lapse shots, that must have taken a bit of time to edit but it looks great 👍👋🥝 winter in southern kiwi land, and it's cold so the fires cranking and the dust is building up here until spring 😂👋

you have to build the badger an new little hut for winter! maybe a trailcam to catch some good shots!

Looking good and I’m sure that’s going to be so nice in the future too.

Marvelous

Wow.. so far so good.. that turned out very very good and beautiful as well.. 🌟💖

The floor looks great! Now you just need a dust buster!

Yeah! We’re back!

In the old days, we used to stone-finish the floor, but we thought of a better way: we baked a fist-sized terracotta, laid it on the floor, and heated it with a piece of glue.

It has been so fascinating watching your process of working out how to improve life in the hut one day at a time. Modern society is so rushed and we feel like everything has to be done quickly so following your journey has been a refreshing reminder that we should pace ourselves.

Ah, primal flooring tetras.

Veo el video y la imaginación me hace llegar a épocas muy antiguas y a esas personas que encontrarían el mismo problema del polvo y realizarían cualquier cosa que pudiera eliminarlo, como pisos, de piedra, madera, pieles, es natural que lo hicieran tenían recursos naturales y también entendían de comodidad y limpieza. Gracias Chad Zuber 🤠 Tabona.

very nice Work!

Sweet. This will certainly increase the comfort of your hut. Awesome.

Hi Chad! So good to see you are doing really well 😎! Your dusty floor has been bugging me for the longest time 🙃😂 I'm delighted that you fixed that for yourself!

great idea!

Bravo Gervacio

Hey Chad! Once again, thank you for the wonderful video! I may be mistaken but i think that if you can grind down those seashells into a powder, you can incorporate them into the mud to create a stronger mortar, like a primitive concrete.

Very nice craftsmanship with making those tiles. Another great project. Cheers, Chad! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

Hi chad, from brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷

While it may seem like smoothing the earthen mortar will only cause more fine dust to rise, it's actually the opposite. The small bits of pebbles and grit are being removed from the surface. It's that grit which, when scraped free and rubbed across the rest of the mortar by items rubbing against it--firewood, a foot, even a leather poncho--will cause the remaining mortar to get scratched, gouging up fine particles of dust. By removing all those little pebbles from the uppermost surface, Chad is making it less likely that the mortar will get scratched and create fine dust. Additionally, it helps seal the surface against further water intrusion, just like burnishing the surface of a clay pot with a smooth stone will help seal it. Not perfectly, but well enough to make it less likely that the mortar will get softened by a bit of accidentally spilled water or soup.

peace be upon you sir

❤me encantó,tu nuevo piso Arduo trabajo,pero lo vale. Felicitaciones

waiting for palisade and in future, a castle! :D

Tôi chờ việc này của chad từ lâu rồi chúc mừng bạn đã thoát khỏi bụi bẩn

excelente idea para el piso de la choza. muy buen video

bro is playing minecraft in real life

great floor

Try heat treating the rhyolite by placing it in sand varying depths under a fire for 2-3 hours on full blast, slowly building and decreasing the heat before those 2-3 hours so you don’t shock it. If it responds well, you should be able to knap it much easier.

Those stone tiles look great! Must feel amazing compared to the old dirt floor.

What a nice upgrade!

Awesome job!

Chad 👍👍❤

Salute❤❤❤❤

Great work👍 time to upgrade the roof Maybe with tiles

So much more awesome than I thought it could be. Great work and I wonder if the floor heats now with a significant fire. Also, that stone rubbing was brilliant because it works so well.
