I’m impressed by the resourcefulness. Decent craftsmanship with what seems like pretty hard wood. Of course the high wear area is a couple bearings. I feel like he could have gotten the wheels a lot rounder. I was disappointed to not see him speed up the wheel and grind it down with a rock like a lathe
And while I’m critiquing, cause that’s how I do-
I just feel like with all that ingenuity maybe he could have put some brakes on there? I’m assuming you step on the juice carton mud flap thing, but that’s not much friction. At least a dragging chunk of wood lever? There’s a shot towards the end of the video where someone has an absolute unit of log. And he is cruising down a hill with no chance of stopping – could seriously cause damage.
And before anyone responds “this is how they do” , no, people who drive vehicles know that they need to be able to stop!
Innovative. Congratulations guys. NO problems with batteries or EV’s burning and exploding – and when you get tired of your vehicle, you make another one and use the old one for firewood.

This is more interesting than half the videos on the Primitive Technology channel.
Start a business and the hipsters will buy this for 3k each as it’s ‘environmentally friendly.’ lmaooo
Ironic that he’s wearing a Home Depot shirt (at 4:25)

His horn should be a bird with fun quips like “it’s a living”
