Make a fan from bark and stick
Build a fan housing from clay
Use a bow to spin the fan
Collect iron bacteria and mix it with charcoal powder and wood ash
Smelting experiment
The result: slag with tiny specs of iron in it
The plan: a taller, bigger furnace, more ore and charcoal, more iron

man, i fucking love his channel. i think one day i will be old and this guy will have built a nuclear reactor out of twigs and mud.

searsjm79
He built a clay turbocharger. Now he just needs a clay car to put it in.
Ryannihilation
Saw an interesting post on reddit where an archeologist analyzed his work and said it was all accurate, but from various cultures.

which makes sense, considering he does online research and a bunch of testing before actually making the vids.
MrTay
cant wait until he gets to the industrial revolution age.
Jokesterwild
and child labor!
raminagrobis
pretty sure child labor predates the industrial age
UpvoteSquirrel
yeah but it doesn't predate sealing them inside the hull of a ship. lol
raminagrobis
I'm not sure what you're talking about
UpvoteSquirrel
Children often died in the constructions of ships by being left in the hull when it was sealed. Its believed that this would curse the ship.

TheCorenthian
Bacteria that help oxidize iron ore and get some of the things they need to live from that process. Finding them means finding ... 1/2

... iron ore, although not usually in very great amounts, Enough to make a knife from one mid-size colony of the stuff.

BALKatalo
As long as you're okay with starving while you try to build a mound to burn wood in a low oxygen environment and make charcoal.
hiyesthisissatan
Well that what I always do on my first night out in minecraft.
ecodude
If you went in the order this guy did, you'd have rabbits, honey, and potatoes to eat while you build it.
JuliaY
A lot of his stuff is probably too time intensive for Naked and Afraid, not to mention I doubt you'd have the correct area for the clay.
JuliaY
But I do kinda wanna see this dude on there now.
Dramacian
If we don't stop him, he'll soon build a FTL drive out of wood and clay...

Isn't that scheduled for the next patch in Terraria or Starbound?

He made in a cave! With a box of scraps!

Or at least a radio out of coconuts and sand.

Great story, although the sequel isn't great. Just the humans repeating the same folly with a species that waited even longer to discover it
arrbos
Turtledove does tend to crank 'em out. Love his writing, but the stories do get a little samey. :)
Stunami92
I believe the story involved humanity becoming so advanced because we had to create difficult workarounds because we never figured out FTL
Fextrus
Everyone else managed to get ftl with iron age tech, it was hilarious.

how?
icookfoodandfightfire
FTL ended up being super simple to achieve but we were so concerned with other things we just kinda missed it

sounds interesting but not plausible that we would miss something as simple as iron age tech

Like regular bacteria, but with a fancy flying suit. The suit is the source of iron for the smelter.
aetheryn
Sounds like a great way to get tetanus.
Botty
Picking up poop you found on the ground somewhere with an open wound or sore on your skin is pretty much the best way to get tetanus.
Botty
But I do remember reading once that the 'stepping on a rusty nail' thing is not how you get tetanus and there was talk of red iron...

Yes, they exist. But most keep the iron outside of the cell, so just having the bacteria themselves wouldn't do anything.
