Check out his cabin with a Heated Floor!

There are other applications of that setup. if you happen to be living in the bush closer to a creek, you can do something useful out of the flowing water.
Out of all the stuff he does, what intrigued me(and had a relaxing ASMR effect) is the simple pottery work he did with his bare hands using locally available clay.

I was actually joking when I worded it as a nutcracker. :D

The real use of the setup is as a hammer and many other useful bush applications.

I just read though that if you turn on the Closed Captions (CC) button in the bottom of the video he has put Subtitles into his vids explaining what he is doing and who.

4.5million Subscribers and he has never said a word in any of his videos. Respect.

I reckon he's done it lot quicker than a week. Couple of days the top.

Water Power Brother!
Good ol Tesla @ it again :-)

These stuff actually go back to the times of ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, etc.
We used these techniques at the very beginning of the civilizations, around 5k+ years ago.

There is no such thing as the "third world". It is an out of date term now. It was just a condescending term invented by an old out of date economist with an inferiority/superiority complex. Nowadays, we use the term "developing world", 'cos some of those second world countries have surpassed the first world and we are desperately depending on the so called old "third world" to make sure we eat & get our everyday stuff cheap. :)

Many of his demos are pretty useful for bush living. This will most certainly come handy with my pending project of fully self contained off the grid house. :)

Oh yeah. Tesla, the mistimed genius. Imagine what he can give us if he's born to late 20th century. :D

I'm trying to think of one useful bush application that thing has got over a rock sitting on the ground that could do the same job, but faster. Ahh unless the user has two broken arms and can't break his brazil nuts?

Even though it's not his most impressive build, I bloody love the slingshot vid. Far out I didn't imagine they'd have that sort of power. Imagine being hit in the scone by that! Lights out permanently, good night, fare well, arividerchi, saionara, bon voyage, see ya round like a record......or just drop instantly dead like a huge sack of shit.

Just watched it. Yeah I don't think you'd want to live after being hit by that. Thats got some serious power.
