TA Outdoors Can't wait brother. I'm starting a "second hand camping" series in collab with some other folks, we mail eachother used second hand items, and film an over nite using the items, I'd be honored if you might consider sending anything second hand that you don't use for my upcoming video. Much love and can't wait for the next one, tell pops I said hi!
seeing you and your Dad laughing brought tears to my eyes. in actually couldnt watch much of your pallet cabin build. my Dad and I literally got started on a similar project and he died suddenly. Ive kind of been in a stand still since.
Thanks for replying Jeff. Yes this father and son team is great fun to watch. He reminds me of my own son and how much fun camping together with the family can be!
Hey..I've been to San Antonio.. loved their botanical gardens. We sort of crawled the River Walk... and consumed WAY too much BBQ ribs. Hope there is no more flooding! Fun place.
I just love the relationship you two have! I love your dad's stories and jokes. Reminds me of my dad who left this earth too soon...when I was 29 years old. What a gift you two are giving the world and receiving for yourselves in return. Watching this video today showed me two of the richest men in the world.
You are wrong. These videos are indeed entertaining, even for people who didn't send the parcels. You chemistry with your dad is so great, and the energy and positivity and humor always cheers me up. Keep making those!
you guys are awesome! never had a relationship w/ my dad like that, he is gone now, but never forgotten, every time i use one of his tools, or an idea he left me with, i think proud of him, rock on, keep it up as long as you can, cherish every min, life is short, look forward to watching more of your shows
Yes, My dog heard the whistle! I thought I was the only frugal person, straightening & reusing nail's. In the early America's, hardened steel was not easy to come by! Many times, when a family needed to move, they would burn down the house to collect the nails, take them with them to the new location & rebuild a cabin or homestead! LOVED SEEING THE STRAIGHTENING OF THE NAILS! Got a subscriber in me! I miss my Dad & wish He & I could build a cabin together! DO ENJOY!!!!!!!
I really like your vids. Others (typically from other continents) may take the mick, but you and your Dad are genuine blokes, not taking yourselves too seriously and having great times. Keep it up, you're clearly inspiring a lot of young folk in this country to do something other than watch TV or play computer games.
I enjoy your videos. Spend as much time with him( with your Dad ) as possible. I miss mine every day. He has been gone for 3 years. Enjoy every second of it.
Man, that fall in the water mad me laugh pretty hard. I love watching you guys. I've subscribed to both channels and enjoy both tremendously. I lost my father 5 years ago, and just watching your father-son escapades always makes me smile. I wish you both the best on your independent efforts but please keep doing these father son videos as well, one day you wont be able too, and these will be worth more then gold to look back on. Cheers to you both!!!
Your videos are great. Your dad's videos are great. But the videos with you and your dad are just terrific! Inspirational really to a fellow dad. I can only hope my son and I continue to have as wonderful a relationship as you and yours Thank you.
YAY!!!! Another pallet wood cabin vid with dad.... and SNOW!!. Loved the vid. I will never tire of watching these. I love seeing the things your subscribers send to you. It's fun and interesting. Thank you so much for sharing your time together on this journey. Y'all make me laugh. God Bless, and love from Texas!!
I just love you two. This is my favorite one yet. You're going to need a bigger cabin to fit all your cool stuff. I especially love the handmade items and latest multi-tools. That southern accent is hilariously spot on, by the way. Cheers from Minneapolis!
Hey mike it’s Eric from east coast fishing game and camp. Thanks for the shout out. I’m glad you liked the items I made. Hope there used in future videos. Any questions feel free budd. Cheers budd. Ps glad dad got T.P for after the coffee. Lol. Cheers dad.
My Dad’s been gone for 20 odd years now. The hot drink in the cabin in winter with your dad took me back about 45 yrs when we did the same. Hot and black with sugar. The memory is just as sweet. Thank you, and God bless.
The sword is a beauty" I do enjoy your father and you having fantastic time. Makes me wish I had done more with mine. Those are things you'll remember and cherish for life. Great video. Thank you for sharing
You two are wonderful!!! I wish my dad were well enough to do this with my sister and I. Your relationship is just refreshing and endearing... we are wishing you both love, good health and many fun projects to you and your families.
hi just found your site...i honestly love the father-son thing that is so awesome...i have 3 daughters and now do nature hikes with my youngest shes 8 now and the other two are 34 and 31 ..(was waiting for grand children) but made my own...now retired and not missing this one growing up as i retired 1 month after she was born..so yeh just loving what you are doing...even made her watch the building of your tiny home...she loves it...lol...keep up the great work...you are an insperation to us all!!
You folks are absolutely AWESOME. I enjoy your enthusiasm. What a joy to share with the world. I could only wish that I could do this with my son. Keep that candle burning. Keep your light shining bright. I can see you all the way in Waterloo South Carolina. I love nature. Gods gift to us all. Eternal peace and happiness is contagious. Laugh Love Live. Gods speed dear friends.....Christine Clark
I stumbled upon your video while searching for cozy snowy cabins. I was in for a treat after I witnessed the wonderful father-son relationship you share. You both brought smiles to my face. I especially LOVE your little, cozy, log cabin and the view from your window in your sitting area:)) Living in Florida I miss and crave the snowy winter wonderlands. You definitely have a new subscriber! Perhaps I shall send your stand-up broom to make it a wee bit easier than using the dust pan broom:)) I look forward to your next videos and thank you making my evening:)
We so enjoy you two. Always great fun .... however we also superstitions here in the US. One of them is not to place roles of TP on the shelf next to candles. Cheers mates. Hope the cabin survives.
Im sure Pops would have seen it and moved it ... all in good fun. Easy for me on this side of the view to see ... However perhaps a strong brew kick is in order for Pops ... then we know he'll have to move the TP. LOL ...
I would be very surprised if that cabin stays intact especially in the UK unless they have built it on private land. Too many unscrupulous folk that would have trashed that cabin by now if it was in any public woods.
Great video, enjoy having your Dad around as much as you can, it's awesome to see you guys making time for each other. Enjoying the build and getting ideas for the bushcraft basecamp I'm building with my 11year old son.
LOL. I always drag along a 'pack animal'. Edit...."thanks for watching all the way thru"....LOL. MY response is that "I'M sorry it wasn't longer". You 2 are awesome together and I couldn't be more proud of ALL of my 'cousins' on BOTH sides of 'the pond'. Sorry Mike, but at MY age, your Dad is the star of the show.
I'm not sure, but if I had to guess I would say it's an 1897 Infantry pattern sword. The design of the guard, grip, and the partial fuller gives me that impression.
Activities like that make me more appreciate life is so good. I love camping, explore and things to refreshens our very busy life schedules. It’s fun seeing these, what more if we could do it too. Enjoy life
I am a newer subscriber and I am LOVING these videos. Better than anything on TV. In today's world, it's hard to find something that's not full of political rhetoric and agendas. You and your Dad have taken things back to the basics and it is awesome. We have a beer where I live called Three Floyds, wondering if you've ever sampled it, I'd like to send you some if you haven't. They come in bottles so they're probably not the best to backpack with, but they're great. Keep up the great work! Always looking forward to new videos!
Graham you should know what that handle is made of on the sword it's shark skin well stingray usually shagreen is what it's called and mike I love watching the unboxing vids not boring at all .
Guys, it's amazing what your Dad and you do on the woods. On these days is difficult to find people who really loves Nature. I like a lot your videos, really enjoy them and send me back to my early years having fun in the mountains. Hugs, Yazmin from Ensenada, Baja California, México.
Hey Mike I don't know if you'll read this but I showed some of you're videos to my teacher and made my 30 childrens class (mostly from the city) to go this summer to a 4 days camping trip . :)
Adam from Pennsylvania here. I have a new born son and an almost 5 year old son. I can't wait to get my boys out to enjoy building forts and bushcraft activities. You two really are English good ol' boys just like the rural and southern folk from the States. It really hits my heart that you two have such a great funny relationship.
I admire people who can live off grid and I love things made from pallets, especially your cabin! I love your dad, he's so fun and has a great sense of humor, and I love your father/son bond! Keep on being awesome ❤
How do you not catch yourself on fire from the candle as you reach over it? 😱😆🤣😂🤣 Forgive me cringing and laughing. I'm an old mom. I do enjoy your vids.
There is so much I admire about your channel. Your spirit of adventure and building off grid touches the same spirit I’ve had my entire life. Unfortunately, I never pursued that spirit, but it appears I may have to during these perilous days. You and your dad have such humorous banter, I love it. I double over laughing when you mock the traditional British politeness and traditions only because you are a proud and industrious citizen. I first admired the British when the Beatles took over the world. Over the years, I’ve spent hours reading historical accounts of many British figures, both great and others notorious. When Hollywood releases movies based on historical events or people, I do my own research to better educate myself. One movie, Master, Commander, the Far Side of the World had me reading everything I could find about the days Great Britain ruled the seas. I may be late following your page, but it has been great. Thank you and your father for sharing your lives.
Love your vids Mike and Dad! Always fun when you're Dad's along. Those mugs had filters in them...can't wait til you try them out. Great gifts from your subs. Cheers and Blessings. Cate
the sword is blunt toward the hilt because that's where you catch the opponents blade, by the hilt to parry to avoid as much as possible damaging the blade. being a cavalry sabre designed to stab and slash from horseback you generally don't need a full length blade as the height of the horse means all the kill action happens toward the point where the extra weight of the blade and momentum of the horse would make it a fearsome weapon. historically they would charge point first almost like a lance or spear to skewer the enemy. slashing, or more often just bludgeoning with the blade was reserved for after the initial charge, usually when the enemy were put to rout or had a broken formation. swordsmanship has always revolved around the point of the blade as the superior way to death death opposed to the edge, certainly in European swordsmanship. Asia has always favoured slashing swords over stabbing. the japanese katana for example or the scimitar.
The sword looks like an 1897 Pattern Infantry Officers Sword, used by British Officers in the Boer Wars and first few years of World War One (maybe even all the way through WW1 by some)... the reason it is fatter at the bottom is two fold, firstly to give strength to the entire length of the blade, and secondly because that is the part of the blade you would parry with... the killing part is the sharp part, the indentation where you ran your thumb is the fuller, it stopped the sword from getting stuck in the enemies body from suction, allowing blood to flow and thus make it easy to pull the weapon from the enemies body... it doesn't look like a cavalry sword or sabre because it is so long, does not have a curved blade, it doesn't have a cavalry style hilt and the blade starts so far up the sword and not at the hilt like cavalry swords do. P.S another great vid, sadly I didn't manage to get out in the snow myself as i was spring cleaning the house and putting in a new bathroom :( keep the vids coming lads, always enjoyable.
Sorry, but that is not what a fuller is for. A fuller is for lightening the weight of the blade, but keeping it's strength up. Think of an i-beam, as a side view... H same principle.
Their cabin has a $500.00 G stove mini wood burning stove. Do you have any idea how warm that little thing gets? In a large tent in Zero degree weather it can heat a tent.....Yes a freakin tent to 92 degrees to the point that the tent is uncomfortably warm. I wouldn't worry about some of those gaps at all. The heating bill is free man! Lol
NO THAT WOULD COME FROM A WOMAN MAYBE YOU DON'T RELIZE THAT WOOD BURNING STOVES MAKE SO MUCH HEAT AND IN SUCH A SMALL CABIN YOU NEED VENTILATION AND WE ARE MOUNTAIN MEN 🤠
Yep! He's especial knowledgeable about British swords of the 1800's (and late 1700's and early 1900's) like this one. He may even be able to find out who specifically used it if anyone did!
I have really enjoyed watching you and your dad making those fabulous wooden cabins .when I was a kid I was always making camps.i loved it my mother said I should have been a boy not a girl.i am
Snow, Unboxing Mail & a good ol' English Cup of Tea - Good Times!! Another video coming later in the week. Mike
TA Outdoors Can't wait brother. I'm starting a "second hand camping" series in collab with some other folks, we mail eachother used second hand items, and film an over nite using the items, I'd be honored if you might consider sending anything second hand that you don't use for my upcoming video.

TA Outdoors I don't have brother. My email is Bizybodydiz@gmail if we can do it that way.

seeing you and your Dad laughing brought tears to my eyes. in actually couldnt watch much of your pallet cabin build. my Dad and I literally got started on a similar project and he died suddenly. Ive kind of been in a stand still since.
I love it when you have your dad with you . Big hello from San Antonio Texas. I'm 57 year old woman that enjoys you and your dad having a good time.
Im 62 and live in timberwwod park SanAntonio tx
Thanks for replying Jeff. Yes this father and son team is great fun to watch. He reminds me of my own son and how much fun camping together with the family can be!

Valuable time spent together. These memories will keep the son going later in life....

Jeanette Swalberg Rest In Peace to your father. I’m sure he is looking down watching you from heaven to make sure your alright.
Right , I was 30 . Wish he was still around to see me being the Grandpa .
You are wrong.
These videos are indeed entertaining, even for people who didn't send the parcels.
You chemistry with your dad is so great, and the energy and positivity and humor always cheers me up.
Keep making those!

Your Dads a character. Wish I had that kind of relationship with mine.
I can't! My dad died years ago!
My Dad’s been gone for 20 odd years now. The hot drink in the cabin in winter with your dad took me back about 45 yrs when we did the same. Hot and black with sugar. The memory is just as sweet.
Thank you, and God bless.
Wonderful ideas, love the picket fence idea. You two are what’s right with the human spirit. Thank you!
I can't be the only one having chills when his dad put the toilet paper next to that candle! Am I ?
I can do much better
noticed it immediately
And lets not talk about that big candle next too the skull thats way to Close against the wooden wall !
The sword is a beauty"
I do enjoy your father and you having fantastic time.
Makes me wish I had done more with mine.
Those are things you'll remember and cherish for life.
Great video.
Thank you for sharing
Yup my dog heard that. She came running. I need one of those
You two are wonderful!!! I wish my dad were well enough to do this with my sister and I. Your relationship is just refreshing and endearing... we are wishing you both love, good health and many fun projects to you and your families.

Good to see you get snow, wow.
Glad you brought pops w/ya.
You guys are awesome, your so blessed to have a dad like that,Love your dog too,thanks for the cabin building and everything. GOD BLESS
I love your channel and it just amazes me how much work you put into your videos. They are on par with big budget films imho
Justin Underwood cheers Justin!
I just enjoy watching you and your Dad, no matter What is about.
I stumbled upon your video while searching for cozy snowy cabins. I was in for a treat after I witnessed the wonderful father-son relationship you share. You both brought smiles to my face.

I hear you. I'm a NH Snowbird myself. We stay for the first snowstorm... and then we're out of here. Trust me.. it gets OLD fast. LOL. Warm is GOOD
I am very envious of you and your fathers relationship. Its awesome to see a good love between father and son. I guess i missing my dad...
We so enjoy you two. Always great fun .... however we also superstitions here in the US. One of them is not to place roles of TP on the shelf next to candles. Cheers mates. Hope the cabin survives.
Desert Survival 🤣 just noticed that! Such an error!!
haha I noticed that too. I thought uh-oh someone's going to get a freaking hot backside....
I was watching that too and about had a heart attack! LOL I kept hoping it wasn't as close as it looked.
Im sure Pops would have seen it and moved it ... all in good fun. Easy for me on this side of the view to see ... However perhaps a strong brew kick is in order for Pops ... then we know he'll have to move the TP. LOL ...
I would be very surprised if that cabin stays intact especially in the UK unless they have built it on private land. Too many unscrupulous folk that would have trashed that cabin by now if it was in any public woods.
spent time with daddy is the priceless&beautiful moment that u had. really miss my late father... al-fatihah....
That cabin is outstanding!
Too funny, glad I found ur channel. It makes me miss my dad sooooo much!!! U have a special bond.
Crackin up the whole way through, we love watching you guys, cheers!! 👍☕
Great video, enjoy having your Dad around as much as you can, it's awesome to see you guys making time for each other. Enjoying the build and getting ideas for the bushcraft basecamp I'm building with my 11year old son.
LOL. I always drag along a 'pack animal'. Edit...."thanks for watching all the way thru"....LOL. MY response is that "I'M sorry it wasn't longer". You 2 are awesome together and I couldn't be more proud of ALL of my 'cousins' on BOTH sides of 'the pond'. Sorry Mike, but at MY age, your Dad is the star of the show.
I know hu? I just watch it twice!
Love all your videos and lovely to see you appreciate the viewers and gifts you receive.
I'm not sure, but if I had to guess I would say it's an 1897 Infantry pattern sword. The design of the guard, grip, and the partial fuller gives me that impression.
Activities like that make me more appreciate life is so good. I love camping, explore and things to refreshens our very busy life schedules. It’s fun seeing these, what more if we could do it too. Enjoy life
Great video guys, it's a pleasure watching you both. Love that sword that's an old one by the looks 👍
You guys are like a couple of kids on Christmas day. Nice to see some snow. It just lends to the authenticity of winter bushcraft. ;)
Well half way through the video your dad blows the wistel my dog sat up looking fot it lol now back to the video oh btw I'm in Missouri Atb Bob
I had to chuckle when your dad was doing his dance with the written horse outside. He made that horse jump like it was full of energy.
I am a newer subscriber and I am LOVING these videos. Better than anything on TV. In today's world, it's hard to find something that's not full of political rhetoric and agendas. You and your Dad have taken things back to the basics and it is awesome. We have a beer where I live called Three Floyds, wondering if you've ever sampled it, I'd like to send you some if you haven't. They come in bottles so they're probably not the best to backpack with, but they're great. Keep up the great work! Always looking forward to new videos!
Frank Pukoszek never tried it! But thanks!
Three Floyd's is overrated They make their beer scarce so people think it is popular
Brewmule it’s not scarce when you live 10 minutes from the brewery!! 💪🏼🍺
Frank Pukoszek I've been there. I've tried most of their beers and still don't see what the hype is about. I'd rather go to Laguanitas in Chicago.
Brewmule sorry you don’t like them. I think they’re great! To each their own I guess.
A treasured relationship with father & son, always look after that, I so remember mine,
God bless guys
Graham you should know what that handle is made of on the sword it's shark skin well stingray usually shagreen is what it's called and mike I love watching the unboxing vids not boring at all .
So cute and the father is my King. Great job guys!
In the wild with dad cool
I love watching you two enjoy each other's company . My grandson and I do that .
Hi Mike, have a great evening.
Guys, it's amazing what your Dad and you do on the woods. On these days is difficult to find people who really loves Nature. I like a lot your videos, really enjoy them and send me back to my early years having fun in the mountains. Hugs, Yazmin from Ensenada, Baja California, México.
thats a WW1 infantry officers sword. Serial number puts it at 1914/17 and around 10,000 of them were made
Is it a Wilkinson blade? As in the Wilkinson sword guys? I have a nice WW1 bayonet made by them. Always wanted a sabre.
that's the one
That explains the “GR” under the crown: George Regent
Interesting, why the 6 pointed star?
It has no edge on it so it never wemt to war.
I love you guys and I just love that little cabin. It would be a perfect place for me to just get away in solitude. TA dad you are a dream!
Hey Mike I don't know if you'll read this but I showed some of you're videos to my teacher and made my 30 childrens class (mostly from the city) to go this summer to a 4 days camping trip . :)
RiruR That is AWESOME!! Glad to hear it man, sounds like an epic trip 👌🏻
It's becoming an addiction watch you and your dad loves his humour God bless both of you
BACK AT THE CABIN! 🤘
Adam from Pennsylvania here. I have a new born son and an almost 5 year old son. I can't wait to get my boys out to enjoy building forts and bushcraft activities. You two really are English good ol' boys just like the rural and southern folk from the States. It really hits my heart that you two have such a great funny relationship.
great video
I admire people who can live off grid and I love things made from pallets, especially your cabin! I love your dad, he's so fun and has a great sense of humor, and I love your father/son bond! Keep on being awesome ❤
hei from Siberia, (Novosibirsk) I hope you like our siberian snow ;)
Xan Thrax haha thanks for sending it over!!
they called it "the beast from the East" in the news.
you two are great to watch. you obviously enjoy each others company. keep it up. great to see
How do you not catch yourself on fire from the candle as you reach over it? 😱😆🤣😂🤣
Forgive me cringing and laughing. I'm an old mom.
I do enjoy your vids.
There is so much I admire about your channel. Your spirit of adventure and building off grid touches the same spirit I’ve had my entire life. Unfortunately, I never pursued that spirit, but it appears I may have to during these perilous days. You and your dad have such humorous banter, I love it. I double over laughing when you mock the traditional British politeness and traditions only because you are a proud and industrious citizen. I first admired the British when the Beatles took over the world. Over the years, I’ve spent hours reading historical accounts of many British figures, both great and others notorious. When Hollywood releases movies based on historical events or people, I do my own research to better educate myself. One movie, Master, Commander, the Far Side of the World had me reading everything I could find about the days Great Britain ruled the seas. I may be late following your page, but it has been great. Thank you and your father for sharing your lives.
I like when you name the countries/states/cities where the gifts are from
You and your Father bonding like this brings me joy :)
Too many years and too many beers LOL
There's no such thing as too many beers.
You two are too adorable. I LOVED the series of Pallet Cabin videos. Learning from you is a joy
Really cold up there brrr.... greetings from Greece 😄
Love your vids Mike and Dad! Always fun when you're Dad's along. Those mugs had filters in them...can't wait til you try them out. Great gifts from your subs. Cheers and Blessings. Cate

borkthebasher what an Awesome comment, thanks so much 👍🏻
The chemistry between you and your father is priceless. Keep those videos coming! From Los Angeles Ca, thank you guys for all the positive vibes!
The sword looks like an 1897 Pattern Infantry Officers Sword, used by British Officers in the Boer Wars and first few years of World War One (maybe even all the way through WW1 by some)... the reason it is fatter at the bottom is two fold, firstly to give strength to the entire length of the blade, and secondly because that is the part of the blade you would parry with... the killing part is the sharp part, the indentation where you ran your thumb is the fuller, it stopped the sword from getting stuck in the enemies body from suction, allowing blood to flow and thus make it easy to pull the weapon from the enemies body... it doesn't look like a cavalry sword or sabre because it is so long, does not have a curved blade, it doesn't have a cavalry style hilt and the blade starts so far up the sword and not at the hilt like cavalry swords do.
P.S another great vid, sadly I didn't manage to get out in the snow myself as i was spring cleaning the house and putting in a new bathroom :( keep the vids coming lads, always enjoyable.
great info for the lads!
It's a myth that the fuller is for stopping suction and blood to run free the fuller was used to reduce the weight of the blade
Sorry, but that is not what a fuller is for. A fuller is for lightening the weight of the blade, but keeping it's strength up. Think of an i-beam, as a side view... H same principle.
You two warm the heart. I don't have a family like this so I enjoy seeing that you do :)
Hi mike thanks for reading my letter by the way I am Zak
Becca Walker no worries! Thanks for sending it
awesome video your dad is class lol, looking forward to stuff like this with my son when he gets older, happy days.
Nice vid
This has got to be one of the funniest videos yet. Your dad has a great sense of humour!!
When he blew the whistle it woke my old pup up from a good nap. She is currently giving me the eye of puppy hatred.
How can you have an " old pup "? She's either a puppy or an old dog!
I even enjoy these videos of your unboxing! You all are very entertaining! Keep up the great work! 👍God bless you!
What did Dad do before he became a youtube superstar, ? Sounds like he has travelled all over...
Dave Williams Hi Dave, we might do a video on this at some point!
You and pops are great people, thank you for sharing!!!
You need to fill in those holes. The cabin would be warmer.
Their cabin has a $500.00 G stove mini wood burning stove. Do you have any idea how warm that little thing gets? In a large tent in Zero degree weather it can heat a tent.....Yes a freakin tent to 92 degrees to the point that the tent is uncomfortably warm. I wouldn't worry about some of those gaps at all. The heating bill is free man! Lol
It would also trap both gases from stove and farts. No good in that.
NO THAT WOULD COME FROM A WOMAN MAYBE YOU DON'T RELIZE THAT WOOD BURNING STOVES MAKE SO MUCH HEAT AND IN SUCH A SMALL CABIN YOU NEED VENTILATION AND WE ARE MOUNTAIN MEN 🤠
@@NGC1433 HAAAA HAAAAA😂😃🤣😆🤤
@@toddmcanulty9003 I have Stove Envy... that thing is a gem.
I love when you and your dad comes with you
Ask scholaglatiatoria on youtube. He a dealer and collector of these exact swords and he would know.
John Foreman just said exactly that lol
Yep! He's especial knowledgeable about British swords of the 1800's (and late 1700's and early 1900's) like this one. He may even be able to find out who specifically used it if anyone did!
no need. thats a WW1 infantry officers sword. Serial number puts it at 1914/17 and around 10,000 of them were made
