Primitive Technology.

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago

Ah yeah, a classic <3

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 5 months ago

If you didn't comment this, I would have.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 months ago

Completely forgot that channel!

[-] Signtist@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago

Does Look Mum No Computer count?

[-] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 6 points 5 months ago

Absolutely. Analog is retro. That's low tech for sure.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 months ago

Cody's Lab. Not specifically low tech but there are hundreds of videos of him mining, making greenhouses, and beekeeping

Primitive Technology, the channel that inspired all those faked terrible "building stuff in the woods" channels, but the original is really good.

[-] xylem@beehaw.org 9 points 5 months ago

Low-Tech Magazine shows up on here occasionally, I've enjoyed their articles.

I'd also recommend Kris Harbour Natural Building on YouTube.

Clickspring is currently recreating the antikythera mechanism using period accurate tools and technology, which is low tech if you consider that it was high tech for the ancient greeks.

Anyone watch attoparsec on YouTube?

I saw him at open sauce last year, and got to type out a tweet using his typesetter's keyboard:

Cheers for mentioning this, that shit is right up my alley! :D

[-] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, he's got some dope stuff, and seemed nice. He made a fuse-triggered mechanical thumper from Dune. This was before the movie, so I don't know how it compares, but it's quite clever.

Black Forager, whom I mostly follow on F-book.

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Van Oak Props.

It's nice to see the creativity that goes into creating props. I also follow watch a few others that also go over props and haunted house builds.

Post Apocalyptic Inventor

[-] plactagonic@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

I love the low tech cycling subculture at yt - bikepackers, mechanics, tinkerers...

Like Path less pedaled and BikeFarmer.

They show how the bikes should be simple, mechanical machines that are bombproof and easy to repair not some high tech racing monsters.

[-] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 months ago

Camping with Steve is pretty great

[-] spudsrus@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Does Joseph's machines count as low tech?

Or do you mean more primitive tech?

[-] andrewth09@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Does solar.lowtechmagazine.com count? Or is that just considered standard reading on slrpnk.net?
