It's not China, but it's entertainment, which I realized after watching many more of the videos. Still, it's infotainment at worst, which is the best kind IMHO.
I never did hear him speak. Not even after he caught chickens and, well, it's hard not to talk to chickens. Somewhere between Burma and Papua New Guinea is all I can tell so far, from the wildlife. Black Jungle Fowl may be diagnostic, so I should take a look at their range, cause he catches some.
Props. This video shows that the basic idea of smelting and forging iron is fairly straightorward. A bellows is the basic requirement for reaching high enough temperature. Mostly it's hard work.
I may have seen this before, or at least someone with a similar shtick. I can only see the still video preview though from this device.
It's always so interesting to learn about early technologies and old techniques. Stuff like this is an inspiring example of what humans can do, even though many aspire to little more than a biweekly paycheck from a system that affords them no dignity.
I might try opening this link later on with something that can actually play videos.
"Imagine mining, smelting, and forging steel tools barefoot."
For me personally that would be an extraordinarily painful experience and quite a pitiful sight to behold. I imagine it's arduous enough when one has a pair of feet to stand on.
By the way, thanks for the new vocabulary. Today I learned the word "perspicacity" from your post.
It revealed that if modern civilization is to be destroyed, it must return to the Stone Age.
There are many survival training schools in the United States. Can you survive in the wild?
If you learn the skill of making ironware in the wild, you will find it easier to survive in the wild.
In the United States, it is interesting because there are many researchers who do such interesting inventions and research.
I can survive in the wild, because I was raised feral, hunting and foraging as a child.
I have caught salmon almost as big as me (I was 8, and maybe 25 kilos) with my bare hands, can outrun Stag, and have secret gardens in the woods today.
Well, I could outrun Stag before my heart attack. Might feed worms if I try today.
No. That's really how it works. If I cut fresh tracks in the morning, before dark I can catch up to Stag. They have the ability to move very quickly for short periods of time, but they can't keep it up for hours. I can run 24 hours straight. Over marathon distances, Stag are slow.
Wow, have you actually played track and field on a short track with a Stag ?
Americans do a lot of novelty challenges. I don't understand that a healthy marathon runner like you has heart disease.
If this is in China, I'm calling this propaganda.
Does he ever speak?

Been thinking about taking some blacksmith classes myself since the outbreak.
I figured I wanted to add some more skill sets on top of my medical training. And, it’s also better that the wife knows how to hunt and shoot as well.

Doing it barefoot looks inconvenient.

I have to use them words up before I forget them all when oldtimer's disease takes over, and I have to refer to toast as singed bread.

@valued-customer, wow, How does a person run faster than a stag?
You are probably faster than Usain Bolt.
When do you measure speed? For 10 seconds the stag is faster than me. After ten hours, I am faster.
Are you kidding me? hahaha

Senior, are you rich?
