Video: Primitive Technology just built a reusable facility for producing charcoal. If only he had someone to trade the charcoal with sheep, fermented grape juice and hairy women!
Why? Charcoal burns hotter than wood by about 200 degrees. It is generally used in furnaces. I’d like to see him in a show like Survivor where he’s the quiet guy who builds the shelter while everyone else argues and then goes off into the woods without saying anything only to come back with 3 days worth of food for the whole tribe.
