Primitive Survival Builders Damaging Cambodian Forests for Videos Exposed

Post by Jerry Atrick »



The popular survival builders in social media is allegedly damaging forests in Cambodia as exposed by concerned netizens in a viral video which is now circulating online.

One of the most interesting videos to watch on YouTube is when seeing primitive people doing their stuff inside the forest, they're calling themselves "primitive" survival builders and have lots of videos on YouTube earning their managers huge amount of money in return.


These primitive survival builders were seen using some ordinary tools like those crafted from bamboos or other primitive materials to build some impressive structures like tree houses and even swimming pools in the forest.

Most netizens who were fans of survival videos might have been impressed at how these alleged primitive builders were able to create amazing things inside the forest with just using ordinary tools.

Despite the prominence and popularity of these Cambodian primitive survival builders on social media garnering hundreds of millions of views on YouTube alone, another YouTuber from Cambodia exposed their secrets on social media.

According to YouTube, Amazing Cambodia by PhotoXpression, the videos of these primitive Cambodian builders were indeed fake and the structures they built were fake "primitive" structures inside a small forest in Cambodia.


The person or group of individuals behing the YouTube Amazing Cambodia Channel was shocked to discover the extent of the damage that the alleged primitive builders did to the once pristine fores in the middle of Cambodia jungles.

Based on the video presented in an expose by Amazing Cambodia there were plenty of abandoned swimming pools that have become death traps to the wildlife in the Cambodian forest.

Based on the previous viral videos posted by the primitive Cambodian builders, they were supposedly using what's called as "termite cement," but in reality they actually used real cement and discarded bags can be seen in many spots close to the structures they built. These weren't show on camera, of course by the Primitive builders.

Some fans of survival videos on YouTube might have been impressed at how these guys were able to create a paint from crushed leaves and fetched buckets of water from the nearby river to fill the pool up.


But in reality which was exposed by Amazing Cambodia, these builders used paint and had filled up the pool with pumped water from a well.

There are PVC pipes which were cleverly hidden inside bamboo tubes and the videos are carefully angled so the pumps aren't exposed.

According to Amazing Cambodia who exposed the viral primitive builders, an estimated two hectares of forest, possibly more, were damaged by these YouTubers for the sake of content.

These primitive builders and their boss earned millions of dollars rom their viral videos but they didn't even bother to clean up the forest after they were done filming.

I thought it quite obvious that all these were fake as shit; the mess left behind it quite something also

Clickbait videos made a lot of cash for some

The Cambodian trapping/cooking channels are even worse

It's current news; which was also reported on in 2020

a few very large channels picked it up again last month with detailed analysis of the videos to show how certain things were faked - these guys haven't gone away; and they have hundreds of copycats now too

In fact on that thread in 2020 you popped up to tell people that this had been covered already In 2018 and in 2019 -it's clearly an ongoing story
