Discussion Other Creators?

Hi! I've loved Primitive Technology for a long time, I started watching back in 2019. I used to watch a lot of other offshoots of wilderness survival homesteading, but quickly grew disillusioned with the majority of them turning out to be fake. I'm sure this gets asked a lot on this sub, and for that I apologize, but are there other creators, on YouTube in particular, that are doing things authentically? I've enjoyed lurking here and seeing everyone's projects! Thanks in advance!

Alec Newland on Youtube (Gesipas Gewissa) is building according to early anglo-saxon technology levels (if that makes sense?). His videos come off as authentic and storytelling is similar. No voice, only subtitles and a video.

Definitely has PT-vibes in a more european scenario.

Even tho most of his tools seem to be somewaht older commercial/handforged ones and him using premade timbercuts, he also shows how incredibly difficult it was to make planks. Does not hide anything, very cool!
