Without electricity, we'd be forced back to the 1800s. But, fret not! This non-rechargeable, analog, physical media can help replenish the skills you've seen on Survivorman, Naked and Afraid, or YouTube, without requiring anything but time and effort. Exhaustive and knowledgeable, John Plant has written a book instructing the skills demonstrated on his YouTube channel, Primitive Technology. With this book, time, and effort, you too can survive in the wild or through a power outage.

The book looks great. But, he's done so much more with his videos (probably since publication), so I'd like to see a follow up with more information in it. For me, things like the wood ash cement would be the most interesting.

“Primitive technology is the practice of making tools, structures, textiles, and clothing using only natural materials found in the wild.” (Page 11) In 2015 a man named John Plant from Australia started a YouTube channel dedicated to using primitive technology to pursue his hobby of using primitive techniques to create structures and tools like we used to do. As of June 15, 2021, John has amassed 10.4 million subscribers and has over 960 million views. In this book he details all of his instructions and thought process when creating the projects, he has done for his YouTube videos. In this review, I will be discussing my personal experiences with this book, my overall thoughts on the book, and whether or not I would recommend this book for others.
My experience with this book stems back to summer 2018 when I was just a bored, freshly graduated student out of high school. During this time, I would pass the time watching YouTube videos and going on hiking trails. I happen to stumble upon this YouTube channel trying to find a tutorial on how to start a fire. From then on I was intrigued by how this guy used primitive tools, that he made himself, to make...

Definitivamente no conocía prácticamente ninguna de las técnicas que aparecen en este libro. Está bien descrito paso a paso y con buenas ilustraciones.

At its most basic this is a subtitled Primitive Technologies video in paper form. Turn on the subtitles and you'll get an actual description and some additional information of what's happening. Which means that other than some nifty little illustrations, longer descriptions, and a organized format there's very little new information that can't be obtained from the PT Youtube channel. Which is why I recommend you go for the hard copy. Because if you have an electronic device to read the ebook you'll most likely you'll be able to watch the corresponding Youtube video. Having something demonstrated to you in video form will also be easier to understand as this book has plenty of pretty pictures, basic illustrations, and descriptions there are no diagrams or depictions of any finished part such as where any holes are supposed to go or what exact shape should be created.
This is not a Survival Guide but something closer to Primitive Technologies merch, something fun to buy while supporting the creator. It's also very loose with its instructions but that's okay, even though it's its big downside, thought not any fault of its creators. While the very basic...
