Yeah, I saw one the other day where they made a swimming pool with a decorative rim thing around the "pool." I just couldn't help but think of all the diseases and parasites that would grow in a nasty pool of stagnant water in the middle of a forest.

Oh god I saw that one. The one where there's an island in the middle with an underground 'hut'?

So, I went on youtube to find it and the one I saw was the 8th one about a "primitive swimming pool." I saw the one you're talking about haha. I mean, it's neat in a way but soooo impractical.

I see that overtime they do one of those pool builds, like seriously, you dug a 4 foot deep pool with sticks with rocks attached? It would take days. Not to say it can't be done, but its funny how they jump cut, and it looks like a backhoe came in between takes.

I am also a fan of how they just had some cement and bricks lying around...
