        Yeah, I’ve come to realize even in the medieval world, people had a huge impact on the environment even then. Esp. regarding wood. There’s a reason cutting wood and gathering sticks was valuable–people needed daily cooking fires, and heat in the winter.

        Add industry, even just smelting iron, bronze, copper, or firing bricks, and that’s an even bigger need for fuel.

        I imagine natural game was under similar pressures, which is why people moved to herding/farming instead of relying on hunting and gathering. And game was also affected by trees being cut for industry and fuel.

    Doesn’t the piped bot crawl this community? Anyone know if I can invoke that?

    Pros: no fanning/bellowing
    Cons: needs a stool to reach the chimney

    …this channel is a treat. He made a natural draft furnace 6y ago, and with this one the improvements are visible - addressing short-circuit drafts, stronger airflow due to parallel tuyeres, and apparently far more yield. (Back then he got no iron from the slag around the tuyere.)

    On other similar channels they make one video demonstrating how the iron is obtained and in the next video they have enough material to build an axe and a knife and in the third one they’re making a railroad.
