Hacking is not the same as computing or programming.

The ways that the Primitive Technology Guy (PTG) has figured out how to make clay roofing tiles, charcoal, and a primitive forge blower are pretty fascinating. He's managed to build a pretty amazing little house with all of that.

That PTG has managed all of these with literally nothing that he could not source from his local environment is quite impressive.

No knife, no tools, no matches, just a pair of shorts and an informed mind -- that's pretty much hacking distilled down to its bare essentials.
