In one of the underground house videos, the kid says thanks for watching in really broken english. I think he said he was columbian.

But the language in the 'about' looks indonesian.

I don't who he is or why he did it, but the dude is one damn hard worker!

The language is Khmer, also known as Cambodian.

A++++ for effort. If he really did dig that entire pit with what looked like the shovel handle I would love to know how long it took.

Seems like a ton of work for a short time of fun that is replicated naturally right up stream.

Somebody hire that man. With proper tools he could do the work of a five man crew Eek

This one is awesome. Primitive guy makes water distiller out of primitive items, turns salt water into pure fresh water.

So it's basically a springhouse for humans? A water cooled sleeping chamber?

That was previously posted on here, watched a couple of his videos after that. Pretty cool he can do this stuff with ancient methods.

Does anybody but me wonder how a thin layer of porous concrete (or Portland cement) holds back the water, or how the pressure of the water and weight of the cement for the structure don't collapse into it's self?

During the cutaways, is when he applies the Flex Seal®. And when you don't see him, he's off camera hiding the cans.

I was kinda surprised at that. Was thinking the same thing.


Guy uses one simple tool but films it was a decent camera gear, edits it and uploads it.

I guess no window like the Bennett's Lodge pool? Big Grin

quote:
The window was below the water line. Rumor has it that Harry Bennett would hold big parties and they would bring in local girls from town who they would pay to skinny dip in the pool. Supposedly they did not tell the women about the window.


This is the Harry Bennett of Ford Motor fame infamy.




They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

We are also to believe he filled one of his other pools using a jug.

Concrete is porous, yes. But we've successfully built plenty of dams out of it.

That isn't a lot of water, and concrete is very strong.
