A lot of work and fuel for such little iron. Do you have bog iron like the Vikings used or rocks with a higher iron content. I'd love to see you be able to actually make iron tools.

I can't imagine how emotionally connected you must be to that tiny speck of iron. A great achievement, well done!

Do you know if this technique was ever used in the past to make iron , it seems to produce so little

Love the channel and I’ve been watching for a few years. You’ve inspired me to learn some outdoor survival skills, and this channel has been extremely informative on how to build some longer term outdoor shelters, even if you don’t have the same kinds of plant life around, the skills translate to other areas of the world. Thanks for making fantastic content for years.

Its so interesting to see just how hard it is to get a sufficient amount of iron by using little more than your bare hands and foraging. Your vids really put things into perspective my man

Can you do a video on how you prepare to go in the woods(where you get your wood, finding good spots, and what about insects, animals or other environmental dangers) Great to see you giving some updates 👍

My favorite part about this is that he just full on skipped the copper and bronze age. What an absolute unit this man is!

I work as a blacksmith and foundryman for a museum in the US. Part of my daily routine is running a 16th century bloomery. Let me know if you have any questions! I love all of your videos. Thank you for taking the time to do them.

My son who is almost 6 is mesmerised by your videos. He always asks for 'the man that makes things'. When he is almost ready for bed. He's been watching for overca year now. My 3 year old daughter now watches too. They both watched your bew video this morning before care. I expect more fire pit, and clay wall building, in the back yard will commence very soon.

Do you know how long does it take to form prills into iron ingots just to create a simple iron tool?

So we should expect full body armor with a sword a year from now?

I always wondered if the shiny orange flows around river beds were iron. What are you planning to make first? I guess a hammer would be fairly useful to start with for future forging.

I love your channel. I’m hooked. I hope that with this being summer in your country we will get more vids. Thank you for continued posting. Sometimes I play your videos to go to sleep, the sounds of nature are beautiful. Keep up the great work.

Are you going through historical primitive technology so soon the Iron Age begins and you will make more and more advanced tech?

Best channel on YouTube for sure! I really enjoy watching you practise old world techniques... compared to modern society life (computers, technology etc) you must really enjoy getting away from it all and I’m sure it’s really rewarding after a day in the wild achieving these awesome tasks :) keep it up man! 👍

Things like this make you realize why humans made villages. Many hands makes the work go faster. Very fun to watch your progress refining bog iron.

Primitive Technology
Single ingot made from iron prills sticking to a magnet. The orange color is rust. It seems to be cast iron.
