This guy was so original he spawned an entire genre of imitation videos. And they all are so much worse.

I've actually seen one recently that's also got his bamboo water system running from a so-called stream. Sadly for him, he accidentally captured this shower system whilst filming another project, and I noticed a tap on top of the bamboo shower. Of course I called him out for it on his video.

Y’all better watch out he’s in the Iron Age now, he’ll have an excavator soon enough.

Funny, I’ve never watched the imitation videos (see them on my feed a lot), but it’s interesting to see how one man’s hobby and passion will inevitably be commercialized by someone else. They have basically created a short film movie studio out of this genre. I watch all of your videos, though, and even got your book for Christmas. You have inspired so many around the world, even if simply to go outside and enjoy the sounds of nature. That is to your credit, thank you John.

Thought it was obvious. The ones that really grind my gears are the "bushcraft survival" channels where they build a very cinematic house and use power tools openly on camera.

I said it years ago, you could literally hear a generator working in the background.

Must say, I never did believe that two guys with shovels did all that. If they wanted to convince people, all they had to do was run a non stop video appropriately sped up in some places. Instead they conveniently cut to an already finished portion of a build exactly when you think that they could really use an excavator or a team of labourers.

I just wanted to say thank you for the videos and effort. I would give almost anything to be physically healthy. If I get depressed from my pain and exhaustion, your videos are helpful. I used to build anything I could dream up. So, your videos take me back to my good years even though I'm not even 40. I hope you realize how wonderful being healthy is. I'm sure you do but many take it for granted. It's so sad to see people that make themselves unhealthy... My apologies for being melancholy. It's been a rough day. Again, thanks for the videos and for being honest. Working hard can be as rewarding as the project. I'm sure you understand. You have my prayers and views. Keep it up.

For me you're only the legitimate survival vlogger and I know it since I've subscribed to you since 2018, All of your videos are so interesting to watch and you can also learn alot of things from it.

John Plant is in my opinion the single most talented person I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I do hope there will be a second book.

Their thumbnails alone already show 5-minute craft vibe, and that already killed my interest to even bother to check

Pretty interesting breakdown of it all. However, there's only enough room for 1 at the top. Nice work John 👍

Thanks for giving the real thing, there was one time when during Christmas I put one or two of your movies on tv and we watched it together for almost an hour in complete silence. It was gold.

I’ve told YouTube not to show me any of these channels. Something about them always seemed wrong to me—mostly that they seemed to be piggybacking off your success. It’s even worse that they’re lying to everyone about it. I only support Primitive Technology. :)
