Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

If Discovery's reality "people in the jungle" is anything like the Primitive Technology channel on YouTube, that might be good. I was really impressed by that, and it was popular on Reddit. Some guy -- IIRC a Kiwi -- heads out to the forest with nothing other than his shorts and starts building up technology from scratch, using only what's in the forest -- last I watched, he'd gotten up to iron production.

Looks like the guy is still going:

EDIT: Aussie, not Kiwi.

I'm convinced this guy is going to cure most diseases and colonize Mars before the rest of us do.
