I tried to compare your channel to about 5 ones, parallel to your contents, there i realize why you earned that much subscribers. Congrats. Long live PS.

Sir, you may have grown up poor, but you are a wealthy king. You live so free.

Of all the channels that are the metaphorical "children" of the original Primitive Technology, this one is my favorite. Everything you do seems practical and rooted in traditional methods. No gimmicks, just one big ongoing project in the same place that showcases different traditional methods.

How do you edit these videos? Do you have a friend to do it or do you sometimes go to some other place where there is electricity and a computer or laptop and edit them yourself? I'd love to know. Also, your videos are really well made and relaxing to watch. Keep it up!

I'm extremely proud of your accomplishments! I love that you've included a bit of your personal history. I read one of your comments that you live with your parents and relatives, that's wonderful to hear. I thought you were totally alone in the jungle. I think that you are very fortunate to have been raised by supportive parents. This makes you wealthy in the most intrinsic psychological sense. You are also wealthy in your vast knowledge of "primitive skills." I'm assuming that you are highly educated by the way you have constructed EVERYTHING. Making concrete, making steel or iron from rocks, knowing how to create a kiln and using it to fire pots from the porcelain clay you found by the river. Your creative thoughts about a floating rice paddy in the middle of a huge lake that you've made is fantastic. The list goes on and on! Again, I think it's wonderful that you have all this land and the natural resources available. Never mind the naysayers regarding deforestation. You have plenty and you're not cutting hundreds of thousands of acres of trees for profit. ☹ This makes you a "wealthy land owner." I assume you have a car to drive yourself to a town to upload your videos. Unless Internet access is free throughout all of Vietnam...? Either way, stay safe and be well. Looking forward to seeing another one of your impressive videos. Los Angeles, California USA.

Watching these videos is a calming and interesting experience. That tree you cut down, we don't have those. It did have a beautiful colour in the core though. Living in Sweden, there's so many plants and trees I've never seen. And watching your videos feels like a more "real" experience than watching pictures or a documentary. So thank you for making these! It's a pleasure to watch and learn!

To share your story is a window into your life. Our struggles make us who we are. You where lucky to have a lot of good teachers. Money doesn’t give us a family that cares and supports us.

I always love watching your videos. Living on your own like this, do you keep any medical supplies other than natural remedies? Your home is a beautiful paradise surrounded by nature and I am envious of that.

Your skill of making things are awesome and always glad your content is not like others who only for views only, following you for 4 years was not a mistake. Stay healthy and care full when doing things.

Hello Brother! Congratulations on completing your roof, and a water test to boot! I love seeing you cultivate and the tree you ate a long time ago I think are what impresses me the most! Everything is impressive, even when things don't succeed because what you come up with next is really interesting! I love this channel and have a blessed day!

I am really appreciating the additional commentary about what you do, why you chose that tree for example. One question I have is how you get your videos uploaded and edited? If you have an apartment in town, who feeds your fish and let's the chickens out? Thanks for your content. I have been watching since the beginning. It is amazing to see how far you have come!!

Make sure that the palm roof has as little contact with the wood as possible (11:24). Otherwise, this part of the roof will be constantly wet and quickly rot. Good luck in your endeavors.

Anyone with such skills is not poor. Monitarily perhaps but rich is wisdom and knowledge. Thanks for your videos.

I love watching your progress from no tools, to stone tools, to iron tools and then to automated tools, it is just an unbelievable journey you have been on these last four years. Thank you for taking us along with you.

Looks like your parents and grandparents showed you the value of hard work and determination values that we take you far in life 👍thanks for the video my friend 😊✊

Thanks for the subtitles. I’ve been wondering where you were from and how you learned to do all of the things you do. You have some amazing skills and bring great honor to those who taught you.

I have been watching your videos for 4 years. My favourite channel. I am happy you have stayed at the same location and made it beautiful. Please I would enjoy watching videos about your life story aswell. Thank you for making videos.

I enjoy watching your authentic videos. You have many talents. I would like to hear more about you, and your history. Thank you for all your hard work

i’m happy to be a part of your adventure and just wanted to let you know that you have a beautiful country and i’m impressed with everything you do. thank you. i would really like to know your name though.

You may have been poor monetarily but it sounds like you were rich in family which trump’s money every time. I really enjoy watching you, you’re amazing.

So glad to see you using your wild craft and Identifying the plants. We have nothing like this where I live. I was a bit worried about typhoons Vietnam was hit several times and even made news on floods. But your place looks peaceful as ever. I love watching you live life simply. Pray for your health and happiness.

A suggestion for a new project: you may manufacture clay tales. Thanks for the videos. Have a good weekend.

Remember back to your first videos where you came out into the woods in what you stood and walked in. And look at you today with your own farm, self made tools from scratch, and everything else you've created. It`s really Impressing to see you go after a task, no matter how big it is..

I reside in America in the Pacific Northwest, in the state of Oregon and have never seen those trees around here but do remember hearing of them while growing up in the state of California. I really enjoy your channel and your content that you've shared. Thank you

Where are the mesquitoes? I was in Vietnam 66-67 near Phu Hiep as a soldier. I loved the jungle and it is a blessing to see your work.

I think a bridge over the fish pond with a gazebo in the middle would be beautiful

I love your content. Your skill, craftsmanship, and dedication are incredible. I started watching you when you first came out years ago and I’ve seen every episode. I’ve always wondered if you live there full time or if you work on your videos elsewhere. How long do these take you to make? Thank you for sharing your life. I look forward to your next episodes

Your channel is the best by far than the rest 👏💪☺️❤️🙏 Im so grateful to have learned your ways of primitive living. I had a dream about you while back. Your house was so big and you hand made everything. You created your own power system. You had a hugeee attic. It was amazing!

oh my gosh ! i folow you since 3 year and it's the fist time that you talk about you !!!!! it's good day to day ! =)

Fascinating watching you put your skills into practice. I wonder if a bamboo guttering system would be useful for directing rainwater away from your walls base. Perhaps directed towards the pond or collected for drinking water in a storage tank. If anyone can build it, you can.

Como siempre es un placer ver tús vídeos y éste en particular dónde manifiesta algo de tú vida personal, estoy muy agradecida desde que son subtitulados en español y poder leer en mí idioma lo que haces. Voy para 5 años siguiéndote y deleitandome con tús logros y ver lo bello que has puesto ése pedazo de paraíso en la tierra cómo lo llamo. Hiciste una pregunta si mí vida es diferente y lo es pero me encantaría vivir como tú vives no te quede duda de eso. Saludos y un afectuoso abrazo desde mí bella Venezuela 🇻🇪

from all survival channels on KZfaq Yours is far the most pleasing and INFORMATIV i´ve seen!

я из России и с большим интересом смотрю за твоими видео, спасибо, что показываешь иной образ жизни для человека, живущего в "каменных джунглях большого города " )

Yur poor family was a blessing! They taught U about true living!!! 👍 self sufficient living

لا اعرف ان كنت ستفهم لغتي العربيه انا احبك واتابعك من اكثر من4 سنوات ولا اترك لك ايفديو بدون ليك وانتزر فديوهاتك دائما انت شخص مجتهد ومثابر استمر انا ادعمك شكرا

As fellow man from countryside, this tip may be useful for you, The wild cassava you found, grow it again, cut 10 - 15 cm chunks from the cassava branches and replant them. Soft the soil very well (that will allow cassava roots to grow bigger and faster), plant then 2 m away one from another. In around 6 to 8 months you will have a good crop of cassava, the more branches you plant the more cassava you'll get. Keep going

7:22 The inside of that tree looks like flaky fish after it's been cooked! 🐟 Yum 31:31 It may be time to consider hardening the outside of your home with mortar like you've done to the ground and your pond so that it retains its shape. A thin layer on the outside would be enough to help.

Твои видео как релакс, в сложное и непростое время. Ты много работаешь, со стороны наблюдателя всем кажется всё просто и легко, но это только кажется. Нравится твоя работа. Так держать

You care about the plight of one baby banana tree. My respect and admiration to you. Thank you for this new video. Bạn quan tâm đến hoàn cảnh của một cây chuối con. Tôi tôn trọng và ngưỡng mộ bạn. Cảm ơn bạn cho video mới này.

Thanks for inviting comments. Been watching your channel off and on for years! You stand out to others by bringing to light skills forgotten by many. It serves us all to witness what can be done with hands and will. Work well worth doing to sustain your livelihood. A reminder and example of solutions available in this modern society that draws people away from Nature. Though you spend energy always building I find your motions relaxed and deliberate and your videos a joy to watch. You've created a paradise. Will there be others that join you?

Hey. I have been watching you for years now. Thanks for "reaching out" to us, your viewers in the video. It made me feel... welcomed, and wanted. I struggle to think of another YT creator that made me feel that. I have one question, that you probably answered many times before - Why? Why did you choose to live this way? You wrote in one of your films, that you wanted a simple life. But is it simplicity of primitive life that motivates you? Perhaps it is seeing the progress that you make every day? Satisfaction that comes only from hard work. Or perhaps is there something that you dislike in modern society? I think that you have found something that many of us are looking for. An inner peace. So please, share with us. What is it? Did you find peace? How did you do it?

I would love to see a video on swapping out the bamboo pipes you have carrying the water for something like the Roman concrete aqueducts. That would be sweet!

Привет. Хотелось бы узнать больше о тебе, до жизни в диких условиях. Что стало причиной принятия решения о таком образе жизни?

You're one of the few YT channels for which I have the bell activated. Congratulations for your hard work. From France

Very happy to learn more about you in this video, hope you'll continue with that trend. Really nice knowing where your coming from and all. Your channel is great and I have been watching your videos a bit everyday for months, thank you!

Good idea clearing your surroundings, cleaner and wider area to farm on. For health/safety reasons, try to clean your frontage as well. Nothing beats a clean outside and inside of your dwelling. Good luck to more projects to come.

The only thing primitive about my life is me. I can relate, in my own way, to wanting to be alone but in my case it's because I don't understand people very well. I never have and I finally decided not to try to fit in. I wish I had half your energy for the art I do every day. Lately I've been uploading progress on that obsession here twice a day. A painting and a sculpture that are taking a long time but it's what I understand and enjoy. I admire your efforts and the results you have achieved! All the best to you ❤️

The wooden shingles will last pretty long....long enough just as they are. Dont put tar on the roof, it will trap the mosture under the planks making them rot. The air flow up on the roof is sufficient to keep them dry. Its not like wood on the ground or slightly off the ground close to mosture, that will rot faster. Tar only works if it was sealed underneath/before the shingles are put on. Burning the planks on the out side would help a little bit for longevity. Best is to burn and then find an oil/turpentine of some sort and treat the wood with that....then the wood can still breath and dry when its not raining obviously.

Your hard work pays off. You have a finished roof and a dry house :D It seems like you will have a lot of bananas soon..! I'd love to know more about your family and how you decided to start the channel. I'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks so.

Você é um cara genial, guerreiro!👊 Parabéns por toda superação conquistado com seu trabalho duro, e pelas suad realizações que pra nós que ô acompanhamos serve de inspiração! 👏👏👏(🇧🇷👍)

You should chop all the weeds on your way, and any organic materials (weeds woodchips from woodworking, rests of food, etc) should be tossed in the ground near the chickens, so they move it around, creating great compost and introducing bugs in the area, that way you’ll have some great fertilizer and the chickens will fed themselves

Now you're a KZfaqr with millions of followers. Great story. Very inspiring! ❤️

I'm from India, I think a lot of snakes in your backyard and in the Jungle. But your work is so hard and you are a Hard working man

Growing up poor in America is very different than Vietnam. We helped our parents but the majority of our lessons came from our grandparents, which I believe you said you learned your skills from them as well. Girls learned skills indoors...cooking, cleaning, sewing, food preserving, gardening, child care, scrubbing laundry by hand and the boys learned outdoor stuff like hunting, taking the garbage out, cutting the grass, weeding, building things with wood, metal fabrication, auto mechanics, plumbing, electrical, butchering, wood splitting. I was taught all the skills that my other siblings were because I had a thirst to learn and know how to care for myself in case I didn't have a spouse that knew how to do the things that were needed to survive. We grew up before technology and watching videos on how to do things like you do weren't available. Those skills were taught. I do watch your channel because I love to learn your skills and practice them. I started growing banana because I saw how well they grew and plant much like you do. I love not straying far from my upbringing because I practice my learned skills, save money, sleep great at night because I go to bed tired, and it feels good using what I worked so hard for. I'm not rich and live right at the poverty line but I'm content with that because I have seen what money and wealth does to people.

You are lucky that in your forest there are so many useful things and a wide variety of plants, very beautiful. 👍 Greetings from Ukraine.

My grandparents were a poor working class family with 4 kids, so they didn't have it easy. For me, it's not all that bad anymore (i think). But from my grandparents and my mom, because of their poor life, i've learned to always gather and keep resources and materials, and to always use my head to find, not the 'pretty', but the good and creative solutions, whenever something needs to be made or repaired. I've learned that, things like string, wires, bags, buckets, bowls, sticky tape, sticks, and so on, i should always have at home. Watching your videos only teaches me even more things! So, thank you very much! ^^ ....(You never stop learning, am i right?)

If I can go back in to my younger age like you I'll also choose to live like yourself. I want to live like you are no technology no pressure no traffic no politics. Very Very primitive. But I'm old and weak and suffering of illness. That's why I'm enjoying watching your video. I've been following your vlog for about two years. The truth is that's the way of life that I am dreaming of. But it will not happen because I'm old and weak. Piece of advice stay safe and healthy God bless you 🙏

Olá eu sou sua fã eu moro no Brasil,muito longe de voce e aqui não temos pessoas aventureiro como você e nem tinha visto a construção de uma casa 🏠 igual a sua muito legal fico sempre esperando o seus vídeos e eu sou izabel muito legal a seu estilo de vida e guarde um pedaço de jaca pra mim abraços de sua fã

@P. Skills: Consider forging an Adze. Its specialized wood working abilities will compliment your Axe/Hatchet. Its form is similar to a Hoe, but it is much narrower and designed to hollow out logs. You have had a number of projects where you had needed to hollow out things. An Adze will make it easier. Obviously, an Axe will do the job, but an adze will make the job easier and give you better results. Side note: Small versions are used to hollow out large wooden bowls. They can be scaled up or down and they are very useful.

I love that you shared about yourself, I have been watching for a long time, and it is great to finally know a little kore about you!!

That clean split at 6:15 was so satisfying

You can be proud of where you're from and what you've learned, you got a huge lugage for your life.

Thank you . 🐺

Хорошая крыша! Большое спасибо за видео! Оставляю свой комментарий в поддержку канала! Всем добра и мирного неба над головой! Здоровья и благополучия!

É muito difícil de não gostar dos seus vídeos eles são ricos de lindas imagens E um conteúdo que me traz paz quando assisto

Mastered the skills you have! You know so many areas of crafting that you could be a professor and teach classes. Your work is precise as well as neat. I commend you on your intelligence and abilities. Blessings of good health and prosperity.

数日で貴方の動画を全て拝見させていただきました 貴方のスキルがあれば生活は日に日に豊かになるでしょう 貴方の生活に釘付けです 貴方の日々の生活に興味があります 私も貴方の生活の様に日々仕事をしたいのですが私の生活はお金を稼ぐ生活です お金を稼がない生活は今の私の生活に支障を与えます💦 貴方の活躍を応援しています 貴方の用な生活を参考にしている方は多いと思います これからの動画を楽しみにしています👍️

You are great. You have many skills to survive in the nature. I hope I can join you. I think it Will be amazing

Your video encourages me to live more simply and to consider the true amount work my tasks take. It so easy to do so much today with technology but in reality how much do you really need and is it rewarding if you didn't truly put you efforts into it... thank you

Hello I cant stop watching your show ,I really love the show.Take care of your self

I have been watching you for a few years. I would love to meet your family, but would hate to see this change from what it has been. The added comments from you are a great addition! Keep up the good work, someday your family will live there with you.

U r a strongman and hardworking so much u can made every thing so good and the greats too , I'm hope in commingsoon u will get comfort and get to be rich.Take care.

great idea thank you for sharing the video Wish you always good health, luck, happiness and success in life❤❤

it was nice to hear more about yourself, it would be great if you shared more stories with us along the videos

Bonjour Vraiment c'est remarquable ce que vous faites. Toujours avec courage et détermination. Peu importe ce qu'il peut arriver demain. Vous êtes autonome et vous avez toujours l'astuce pour trouver le moyen de survivre dans les meilleures conditions possibles. Félicitations car la plupart d'entre nous n'en sommes pas capable et encore moins de vivre seul. Comment vous organisez vous pour vous filmer en permanence ? Bonne continuation car vous faites un travail titanesque

Thanks for explaining what you do with comments, they really help!

Really amazing. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

After 5 years we finally get some backstory of MC! Please continue the hard work and keep sharing what you are comfortable sharing!

Thanks for the video and thank you for sharing about your life! Yes please share more, whatever you like.

I love that you’re sharing about yourself it’s amazing watching your progression over the years , hello from Australia :)

I like the way you are doing. Keep it up. I appreciate your hard works.Goodluck👍

Finally, backyard unlocked. Extra plot available.

A true primitive person does everything in bare feet - THAT is very impressive!!

yes!! i love learning more about you.

Thank you for the written content and telling us about yourself and describing what these different plant are. This will be a spectacular place when you finish. Love the back drop and that large pond. This is my first episode and it is 2:30 a.m., but had to find your site and say how much I enjoy your videos. I'm a subscriber and a thumbs up!

I’ve watched all of your videos, many with my family as well. Thank you for sharing your personal stories! You are a great inspiration. We recently dug out a bunch of clay from our yard in Puerto Rico and created our own pit fired pots. We hope to visit Vietnam some day. Thank you again for all you share.

Nice to see a new video. I'll be watching when it premiers.

Молодець! Хай Бог тобі помагає в житті! Бажаю тобі щастя! (UA, Lviv)

went to work at age 9 same way, helping elder relatives, my father, and my mother did her thing...lots of hand work done in primitive ways... but because we did not want to owe our soul to the bank...worked to as our building business took off ...at age 21 entered the building trades learned much more ...retired in 2020 had been working constructs for 51 years...and for a job it was an adventure!

Hello I am watching your videos for many years, like them very much. Have you considered writing a book? Or writing about your thinking? Thank you

Hola te sigo desde que vivías en la casa pequeña y no dejé de mirar tus videos creo que nunca dijiste tu nombre pero da igual. También trabajé de niño en la ganadería de mis padres y te aseguro que también es un trabajo que prueva tu resistencia sabes? Ordeñar las vacas cada día con el lodo hasta las rodilla con lluvia con frío te cosean te pisan te córnea pero hay que ordeñar las vacas porque si no lo haces y dejas que el becerro se chupe toda la leche enfermará de diarrea y puede que muera si tienes la medicina un trabajo duro pero me gustan los animales un abrazo chico gracias por subir tus videos

Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳 I watch your every video

Hello primitive skills, merci pour cette merveilleuse vidéo. Félicitation pour votre parcours et tout le travail accompli. Vous êtes incroyable et attachant. J'adore vos vidéos, la nature est tellement magnifique. Je vous dit à bientôt pour une nouvelle aventure. Amitiés de France 🇨🇵👍🤗

In my dialect we call the tree as 'tamak'. I am from northeast part of India. My tribe speaks Tibeto-Burman language.

Hi. My wife and I love your channel, keep up the great work.

Eu watched you in begin. Today, i belive you make one pan fry. You are a light in the world. Thanks.

I live in the Rain Forest in Connecticut. We have more species of trees than anywhere else in the world.

Hey, I really love your content! It's really relaxing to watch you work on your small farm and expanding it over time. Keep up the good work and great spirit! It was interresting hearing a bit about your background in this episode. I would love to see a "behind the scenes" sort of episode where you could expand abit about your story and how you make your videos etc. what some of your ideas are and so on. Perhaps a Q&A too :) Kind regards from Denmark ^_^

Thank you for all the work you put into your videos.
