Watch all of our Historic Builds inspired by our Ancestors: th-cam.com/play/PLxnadpeGdTxD9oAbeZcYKiGO7p3gIXmuZ.html Dark Ages: 476 AD - 1492 (Now more known as Early Medieval Age) Viking Age: 800 AD - 1066) The Dark Age is often referred to a particular period in Britain. We know it more now as the middle ages or early medieval age which encompasses the Viking Age. The reason it was called the Dark Ages was because once the Romans left Britain, it is said by scholars that society in Britain went backwards (also, there is little recorded from the history during that time) The Romans built solid buildings, bath houses, roads, sanitation etc. Once they left Britain we went back to basics, building from wood, timber frame etc. This project was inspired by the Vikings who once occupied a large chunk of England. They were resourceful people. The structure we built here is certainly not historically correct. But we did use natural materials that we found in the surrounding woodland. Making the foundation and the frame from straight cedar wood was relatively simple. We used traditional wood pegs to secure the A-Frame. The hard part was peeling the cedar bark for the roof. This involved days of work, and the conditions had to be right to peel the bark (wet weather helped). These trees were not cut down by us, but by the land owner as part of forest management. This meant that we had to be fast to get the bark of the trees whilst they were still relatively green. Any longer and the bark would have dried too much to peel off. We did not anticipate how much the bark would shrink to the roof when it dried. This meant that we were left with a lot of holes. Digging the viking longpit for the fire was also a difficult task. Clay, when wet, is very difficult to dig. However, when wet it is easier to mould and to shape, which made filling in the gaps between the rocks much easier. We probably should have added wood ash and straw to the mix to prevent it from cracking as much from the heat of the fire. Traditional viking houses were much larger than this (especially the famous viking longhouses). The vikings were incredibly resourceful, and that is where we gained the inspiration for this shelter. I hope you enjoy the video. Thank you for watching - Mike
Those men are the hardest working bush crafters I have ever had the pleasure of watching work. I had too take a nap in the middle of the video because they tired me out.
Hopefully anyone considering this build is paying attention to the char of any wood that will be stajed or set in ground. This is to eliminate insects from seeing it as supper.they will not feast on charred wood. Excellent work ! Wulfy
This is so awesome. The build, the filming, the atmosphere. The result. On top, not a word. Anyone in the whole world can watch, and no one is left out. Pretty brillant. Big respect to you, guys. Excellent in every way.
One suggestion for people who build this is to raise up the fire pit with stone and earth so you aren't always working on the ground. Doubles as a work space when not lit.
You place the fire low if it is cold to minimize a cold pocket closest to the floor. If it is below the griund level it will heat up some of the earth around it as well.
@@betaoooo Everyone was wrong at some point or learned a better method. Doesn't really matter if they were wrong or right - I just offered a dual purpose modern improvement as a thought to those looking to live this way.
The dog was their lookout! You saw him looking in every direction. He also looked before he tried to eat the bread, but couldn't because it was too hot.
Louise Dole Doggo is a lab. They always look like they’re begging. Mine wants to be within five feet of me at all times unless she spots a rabbit or deer. Dogs who live real actual lives out here in the country don’t need the constant interaction with their humans that many city dogs crave. They have so many more smells and sounds to catch their interest.
Me - “ an hour long ?? Yeah I’ll skip through it “ Also me - watched whole video without skipping and now I’m late for work. Worth it lol.... amazing build
ASMR for _MANLY MEN_ (Jokes aside, these longer build videos without the talking are very satisfying and relaxing, I appreciate that you do this format as well.)
I like how the dog was paying attention when they were digging a hole and it was like " here's my chance to help, i got some hole digging skills". Smart dog. Great build,.
I like how there's no music. It really emphasizes the serenity. I also like that because you didn't use modern day building materials the work site always looked so clean.
@@7ra44 It's a joke you idiot. I'll never understand why people think they can label someone based off of one comment. And apply politics everywhere they go.
Absolutely amazing. Teach your kids to do this stuff and it will keep them off the streets and out of trouble. This video just gave me so much inspiration and increased my gratitude for nature.
This is something I think about a lot. A lot of popular video games now, are basically just labor simulators. Chop down trees for logs, build planks, make walls, etc etc. Spending hours/days/weeks in these games where your character is leveling up their construction, herbalism, leatherworking; meanwhile you become more sedentary, depressed, weak. Granted, the time from chopping a tree down to building a wall in a game is way shorter than in real life, but its much more interesting in life than in the game. A lot of men today complain about how they cannot find relationships. A person will find you much more interesting, if you can build a hut in the woods, than a mansion in a video game.
@@jordanhavins Fair. But how many people have access to land like this? Leatherwok, though, that's doable in an urban environment, for sure. As is learning knots, how to sharpen a blade etc. I guess the key is just to do *something* with your hands other than smashing W-A-S-D, wiggling a game controller or reaching for a bong!
@@jordanhavins not everyone has access to places like this. But as someone who's into carpentry and blacksmithing, I think it is very important to learn any kind of crafts.
I love this bushcraft and homesteading stuff. I have never built anything out of wood in my life, and yet this is fascinating! So cool to see people using old-school methods, building off-grid things, and being proud of the results. And not the versions where people with bottomless wallets get all the lumber from a store they could want, and bring $600,000 worth of high end equipment to build a "cabin" on their already developed property 50 yards from their house that they call "bushcraft" or "homestead".
I once saw a video of a guy preserving an animal skin in what he called a Bushcraft video where he literally took a power washer to clean the last little meat off the skin. I slapped my head and walked away. I actually left the video playing, but jus walked away from my phone for an hour.
For a moment, I thought that dog would get one of them to speak. The film is nearly over & it hasn't happened yet. I really love everything about this video. I want to shut up & build a viking house.
12:50 at night and I can’t stop looking at the vid like if I’m going to build a Viking house lol..love that there isn’t any unnecessary noise or narration 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I'm not a guy, and I love it. Pure guy TV for guys and women who love men? Cat in a ball on my lap and I'm in heaven watching. Wishing I could be there , mostly silent (a rare question well timed, if invited), lending a hand now and then (if/when welcome) and watching to learn. And yeah, I like "roughing it" in the woods more than any "spa pampering" (shudder).
This video is so great I didn't even realize it was an hour long.. I was so entertained and fascinated by everything that I completely lost track of time.. Gorgeous scenery and awesome build.
Goodmorning from Alabama Sheva. You always seem to have a good time. I hope you an the family had a wonderful Christmas. I hope your New Year is great , wonderful. Above all l wish for you is peace, no more war. Have a great year my good friend.
@@Tate.R.Tot.Hottie I wouldn't say that I am religious, but my dog is such a special gift, I know he was sent to me at the right time. I think that has meaning. I don't agree with most religious doctrines, but there is comfort in believing in something divine.
I’m so proud of you all helping each other. One day we all have to service and learn how to build without noisy machines. Your never too old or young too learn. Like the good old days says my mama. I give you thumbs up.❤
When I first saw this I thought "Wtf one whole hour!? No way I'm watching this." I'm now at 58:00 and sad that the video is almost over. Such an amazing build, love the craftsmanship, creativity and overall chill atmosphere... just awesome!
Awesome to see the white man reviving and living his culture and heritage. Amazing build and the wild forage and cook looked good enough to eat. A Maori guy.
@@professorweeto I watch all videos depending on how fast people talk or do something at 1.5x and 2x.. Reporters who talk slow for time limit on tv by use of a teleprompter I use 1.5x.. they sound normal talking speed..
I was practically hypnotized watching this. As stated below, the sounds of nature were so comforting and soothing. It made me remember when I was a little girl, every time there was a big snow fall I wanted to build an igloo, or a snow hut actually, and live in it or just spend the night but, of course, parents wouldn't let that happen. This film made me wonder what that primordial need is about. That's on the plus side of things. On the negative side, watching this made me feel the loneliness involved in such a venture. Is man meant to be alone - I don't think so. We need the company of others. Well, just something to think about and appreciate. Bravo for your self-sufficiency in the midst of nature.
C'est interessant ton point de vue de femme et comment tu te questionnes par rapport a tout ca, merci,nous les hommes on regarde plutôt le cote technique, comment refaire en s'inspirant de ce savoir millenaire qui nous revient du fond des âges comme pour nous rappeller
Nous rappeller qu'il y a peu de temps que l'on jouit du confort, de l'eau courante, du chauffage des ordinateur ect.. Si l'effondrement de notre civilisation surgit soudainement entre 2025 et 2035,seuls ceux qui ont ces savoirs faire survivront aux pénuries de tout... Faire beaucoup avec peu voilà ce qu'il nous faut réapprendre !!
The need to go out and take care of ourselves. The need to build something, to look back at our handiwork and say, "yes, I made this. I built this with my two hands. This is mine to live in" has been with us ever since the beginning. And the need to also work as a tribe, to be with others. The Long House in particular is of Viking origin, but the Native Americans also had their own versions. Both had huge houses, built to house a large family, complete with beds and furs, and a fireplace. It was a place of gathering together under shelter and eating. All the necessary things of life were under those logs: food, water (for boiling food) fire (for cooking) and shelter.
This style of bark long house is much older than the Vikings, and contains most of the elements of hunter gatherer nomads all the way up to the last couple hundred years. All nomadic shelters, have several elements in common. One, they are close to potable water, they are close to fishing, snare or trapped game food sources, and they are close to natural building material, dry or dead wood, bark, sand and clay, shale, slate and particularly field stone, plus cattails. You do a particularly good job of showing the essential requirements for any primitive shelter. One, it must be dried in, that is a solid barrier against rain and wind. Hypothermia can kill you quick, particularly if low temperature (snow level) is accompanied by high winds. Second is your depiction of a central lined fire pit. That’s really accurate to nomadic shelters. As is the burnt ends of building poles. You’re doing excellent work. Keep it up.
The Viking tent was plain, practical, and brilliant. Tent frames were discovered on a buried, ninth-century Viking ship in Gokstad in Sandar, Sandefjord, Vestfold, Norway.The bottoms of a pair of crossed beams were inserted in each of two ends of a square wooden platform. Then, a pole was run through each pair of beams near their tops. Next, a rectangular piece of material 5 meters (17 ft) long by 4 meters (14 ft) wide was draped across the pole and its ends were secured to the other two sides of the platform.[10]The 3-meter-tall (11 ft) tent could be set up in minutes, and it provided its users with a dry shelter with a wooden floor. There was even a decorative element in the four dragons’ heads carved into the tops of the support beams, two of which looked one way while their companions gazed in the opposite direction.
I’m incredibly proud of each of you for supporting one another. Someday, we’ll all need to know how to build and create without relying on noisy machines. You’re never too old or too young to learn, just like my mama always said about the good old days. Thumbs up to all of you!
Absolutely incredible. Need to find some friends who dig this stuff like I do. I'm genuinely excited to get out and do more stuff like this. Thanks guys for reigniting my passion for Bushcraft
Always a lot of cool little things you learn by watching these videos when you're someone like me who lives in mostly neighborhoods! Like the bark used as a windmill to turn the chicken, thats so clever!
Hello there Dustin, are you alright my friend, I've been trying to find out because I've not heard anything from you for quite some time & I've been worried, take care pal, stay safe & ATB 🙂🥃👍 Andy
this is the first time i came across this channel. no unnecessarily long intro, no talking, no music; just the men and their royal dog getting things done. every shots and angles portrait the nature and what they are doing. the editing is well done. overall, i kind of regret i didnt find this sooner. please take my sub and like, and stay safe~!
Absolutely great, a joy to watch, I’m a bit jealous now, what a opportunity to have an area where you can build something like that, the delicious food at the end was well deserved, thanks for sharing guys!
@@TAOutdoors I am man enough to admit this was so beautiful i wept, wished i could live like that and almost went full hermit but being in south africa there is nowhere i can go.
That's the sign of a really good boy when he doesn't take food off the table. @47:50 and sits and waits. He looks very similar to my dog with the same color, demeanor and temperament. Mine is a mixed breed but I've discovered that he looks like a breed called a Black Mouth Cur. My dog is just about 12 years old but he still has a lot of puppy left in him and does the same thing around food but has never, ever, ever taken any food off the table or out of anybody's hands. He is a real gentleman and such a good boy and his name is Simba but lately I call him "Saint Simba." I have been complemented about how well behaved he is and I have to tell people that I really didn't have to do anything that he was like this from when he was a puppy; he was always pretty good at listening and if anything he trained me I didn't train him. God Bless You Guy's Dominus Vobiscum Pax (A little ancient signing off from my clan)
Nice little house, I have some suggestions though. You should check the drainage of the rainwater, especially on the top. The way you build it, it wont stand a regular rain and water will leak into the house. The chimine requires also to be covered from the rain and have holes on the top sides to let the smoke out. The walls should be covered with mud, this way you can stop the snakes and insects from getting in and you will keep the house warm. Remember, if you let water in, it can take several days to dry the floor (your bed included). Note: I learned this from Native American Nahua traditional house builders. Their constructions are very cool, they build their homes on the cost as well as the mountains. Houses build by the beach can even withstand floods from up to 1.5m (5ft) high and remain relatively dry and stable if they are build on wood posts.
I also thought that they would mud brick it. I actually made a mud brick hut of about the same size. All I used was palm fronds & their stalks, string and mud. Two years later, still standing brilliantly on the sand. It was great fun building it. Although, the thorns from the date palms hurt like the dickens!
It looks like hard work, but not stressful.. Would love to build something or be part of such a project once. Must feel really good building in the woods. Love your channel, keep it up!
Please tell me I’m not the only one who watched the entire thing without fast forwarding. Ps: you guys make this interesting to watch (not that it isn’t interesting to begin with
@Jan Olsen Hej Jan. Our ancæstors used what was available so ofcourse they built Huse like this one too.. But yeah. Birk is more used in Denmark, but is it also more widespread in DænMark?
Yes, I watched the entire video without fast-forwarding. I was mesmerized. The skills these guys have are awesome, including the cooking. I wish that I had become a craftsman and could do this, but my time has passed.
When I first came across your channel I couldn’t believe most of the stuff you built was with hand tools. I think my favorite part of this build was the Viking pit and the cooking your friend did.
We used to do similar things in Boy Scouts. Had competitions where each troop was supplied with poles and rope and had a time limit to build what we could. Built signal towers, huts, etc etc. Camping we built fire pits and the tools to hang pots, stools etc. A good scout troop is a good thing for kids.
@@jasonbuck5256 - Really? If that's so, it's a d*mn shame. Being out in the woods, camping, learning how to build a safe fire, pitch a tent, make shelters teaches independence, self-confidence, being part of a team and an appreciation of Nature.
Lets turn to God let's repent and ask for forgiveness let's study God's word let's thank God for sending Jesus and all He's done thank you God! Shepherdschapelcom Theseasonorg explains whole bible God bless
@Bill do you really think you're winning anyone over by posting random jesus stuff in the comment sections of videos that have absolutely nothing to do with christianity(or any other religion)? This is why people are fleeing organized religion.
You know what the best part of this is to me? These young men must have learned all this from their fathers or someone close to them, and that must have been an amazing bonding and life experience.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. Not what I normally look at, but I couldn’t stop watching it. Your work is fantastic! Thanks guys, I am now a huge fan... Please...keep making more videos. Thank you all.
I've literally in the last hour subscribed to this channel after having watched TA Fishing for the last couple of years,and... forget those "ASMR" channels this is the one for me
I was glued to every second. At the end I'm thinking this took months. After the video, read the description... 10 days?!?! Wooooow! What a great group of guys.
Recovering at home, on bed rest, after day surgery watching this fascinating and serine video is the perfect prescription for my soul. I need to order one of those carved drinking vessels. My sincere thanks. Bless you all and keep up the great works.

Now if I could get my Wife to do that
I watched this right through. Just sat and watched. Just realised how calm I am now. Strangely kind of proud too. This was pure guy TV!
I'm not a guy, and I love it. Pure guy TV for guys and women who love men? Cat in a ball on my lap and I'm in heaven watching. Wishing I could be there , mostly silent (a rare question well timed, if invited), lending a hand now and then (if/when welcome) and watching to learn. And yeah, I like "roughing it" in the woods more than any "spa pampering" (shudder).
This video is so great I didn't even realize it was an hour long.. I was so entertained and fascinated by everything that I completely lost track of time.. Gorgeous scenery and awesome build.
Goodmorning from Alabama Sheva. You always seem to have a good time. I hope you an the family had a wonderful Christmas. I hope your New Year is great , wonderful. Above all l wish for you is peace, no more war. Have a great year my good friend.
takes me at least 3 starts to get through a blockbuster movie. but somehow, i watched this 1 hour straight thru. great content.
My favorite part? Seeing the dog helping pull up roots. Man's BEST friend, indeed! As far as I'm concerned, dogs are proof of God's love for us.
Same to my favorite part also
Yes, my dog is a gift from God. I say it all the time. 🐕❤
God isn’t real in my opinion but you guys have your beliefs I won’t judge
@@Tate.R.Tot.Hottie I wouldn't say that I am religious, but my dog is such a special gift, I know he was sent to me at the right time. I think that has meaning. I don't agree with most religious doctrines, but there is comfort in believing in something divine.
@@sophiepires792 oh ok when I hear people say god I instantly jump to a conclusion that they are religious so sorry about that
Who else was recommend this after starting Valheim? Great work and dedication on keeping skills and traditions alive.
Nice take, three men with logs on their shoulders and an axe in their hands!
You guys are such an inspiration!
Kudos to the camera man and sound tech. No wind buffeting at all. Plenty of clean detail. Thank you!
❤❤❤
This is the type of content I imagined when I first heard about TH-cam.
Hey guys...I'm a 79 year old granny watching this. It's like Zen...such focus and precision.a real soul experience they share with us...🙏🏼💜
Agree 100%.....
I’m so proud of you all helping each other. One day we all have to service and learn how to build without noisy machines. Your never too old or young too learn. Like the good old days says my mama. I give you thumbs up.❤
Suffering from a migraine here...and I find this so soothing. Just what i needed, thank you!
Glad to help
I would have thought this would be the WORST video to watch with a migraine.. I feel like the beat in my head would sync with some of the thuds
just watched every second of this video and was never once bored
Me too and I am a female who doesn't like living in the forest🤷
When he started to make his own saw horse at the beginning, i thought, “Oh yeah! I want to do this!”
The fresh smell of the wood and fallen leaves. The herbs.The smoke of the fire. So delightful.
Yes, you can almost smell it....
When I first saw this I thought "Wtf one whole hour!? No way I'm watching this."
I'm now at 58:00 and sad that the video is almost over.
Such an amazing build, love the craftsmanship, creativity and overall chill atmosphere... just awesome!
Watch it at x2 speed and it's only half an hour. Feel free to go back in time and thank me.
Awesome to see the white man reviving and living his culture and heritage. Amazing build and the wild forage and cook looked good enough to eat. A Maori guy.
S+7
If you speed it up to 2X you can watch it in half the time. 🤣✌️
@@professorweeto I watch all videos depending on how fast people talk or do something at 1.5x and 2x..
Reporters who talk slow for time limit on tv by use of a teleprompter I use 1.5x.. they sound normal talking speed..
I was practically hypnotized watching this. As stated below, the sounds of nature were so comforting and soothing. It made me remember when I was a little girl, every time there was a big snow fall I wanted to build an igloo, or a snow hut actually, and live in it or just spend the night but, of course, parents wouldn't let that happen. This film made me wonder what that primordial need is about. That's on the plus side of things. On the negative side, watching this made me feel the loneliness involved in such a venture. Is man meant to be alone - I don't think so. We need the company of others. Well, just something to think about and appreciate. Bravo for your self-sufficiency in the midst of nature.
C'est interessant ton point de vue de femme et comment tu te questionnes par rapport a tout ca, merci,nous les hommes on regarde plutôt le cote technique, comment refaire en s'inspirant de ce savoir millenaire qui nous revient du fond des âges comme pour nous rappeller
Nous rappeller qu'il y a peu de temps que l'on jouit du confort, de l'eau courante, du chauffage des ordinateur ect.. Si l'effondrement de notre civilisation surgit soudainement entre 2025 et 2035,seuls ceux qui ont ces savoirs faire survivront aux pénuries de tout... Faire beaucoup avec peu voilà ce qu'il nous faut réapprendre !!
The need to go out and take care of ourselves. The need to build something, to look back at our handiwork and say, "yes, I made this. I built this with my two hands. This is mine to live in" has been with us ever since the beginning. And the need to also work as a tribe, to be with others. The Long House in particular is of Viking origin, but the Native Americans also had their own versions. Both had huge houses, built to house a large family, complete with beds and furs, and a fireplace. It was a place of gathering together under shelter and eating. All the necessary things of life were under those logs: food, water (for boiling food) fire (for cooking) and shelter.
I have no Idea why this was in my recommended, but I absolutely love watching this. There is something so calming and pure about it
This style of bark long house is much older than the Vikings, and contains most of the elements of hunter gatherer nomads all the way up to the last couple hundred years. All nomadic shelters, have several elements in common. One, they are close to potable water, they are close to fishing, snare or trapped game food sources, and they are close to natural building material, dry or dead wood, bark, sand and clay, shale, slate and particularly field stone, plus cattails. You do a particularly good job of showing the essential requirements for any primitive shelter. One, it must be dried in, that is a solid barrier against rain and wind. Hypothermia can kill you quick, particularly if low temperature (snow level) is accompanied by high winds. Second is your depiction of a central lined fire pit. That’s really accurate to nomadic shelters. As is the burnt ends of building poles. You’re doing excellent work. Keep it up.
what do you mean by "dried in"? thank you
The Viking tent was plain, practical, and brilliant. Tent frames were discovered on a buried, ninth-century Viking ship in Gokstad in Sandar, Sandefjord, Vestfold, Norway.The bottoms of a pair of crossed beams were inserted in each of two ends of a square wooden platform. Then, a pole was run through each pair of beams near their tops. Next, a rectangular piece of material 5 meters (17 ft) long by 4 meters (14 ft) wide was draped across the pole and its ends were secured to the other two sides of the platform.[10]The 3-meter-tall (11 ft) tent could be set up in minutes, and it provided its users with a dry shelter with a wooden floor. There was even a decorative element in the four dragons’ heads carved into the tops of the support beams, two of which looked one way while their companions gazed in the opposite direction.
@@GotMyTowel42 "dried in" essentially means that inside the shelter; you are safe from the elements.
I’ve always wanted to be able to go into some secluded woods with a friend or two and be able to just build things, it would be so cool
My husband and I are watching this series on Prime. Thank you so much for doing this! You’re dad is a BEAST!
What is the name of the series on prime? I’d love to watch it all on my tv on prime instead of yt on my phone
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. The sounds that are made working with wood are incredible. There is something soothing about it.
I love how they built an entire house, then build a mallet!
heebie jeebies 😆🤣🙂
I honestly think it was a random idea, and a good one!
I’m incredibly proud of each of you for supporting one another. Someday, we’ll all need to know how to build and create without relying on noisy machines. You’re never too old or too young to learn, just like my mama always said about the good old days. Thumbs up to all of you!
❤❤❤❤
These guys really made a house and multiple 5 star meals in the wilderness and I cant even drink water without choking.
Don't feel bad, my wife trips over air
@@joshuanewcombe8454 beter triping then striping the say
Absolutely incredible. Need to find some friends who dig this stuff like I do. I'm genuinely excited to get out and do more stuff like this. Thanks guys for reigniting my passion for Bushcraft
I wished I had wooded property to do this.
Dog: Im helping, am good dog, this is good
me: you are helping so much keep up the good work
Always a lot of cool little things you learn by watching these videos when you're someone like me who lives in mostly neighborhoods! Like the bark used as a windmill to turn the chicken, thats so clever!
Bring on our next project! I simply can't wait...
Hello there Dustin, are you alright my friend, I've been trying to find out because I've not heard anything from you for quite some time & I've been worried, take care pal, stay safe & ATB 🙂🥃👍 Andy
Can't wait, it's going to be just as awesome as this one!
Okay you guys, what do you call this, "Tag Team Tease"?
they took quarantine too a whole new level

Тот самый моменты когда ты в 2 часа ночи сидишь и целый час смотришь как два мужика строят себе избу😁 Очень классно получилось. Кто из России ставьте👍
Они не "СЕБЕ" избу строили)
Love every video amazing building skills these video is 4 years old but i can see it over and over !!! Thank You.
this is the first time i came across this channel.
no unnecessarily long intro, no talking, no music; just the men and their royal dog getting things done.
every shots and angles portrait the nature and what they are doing. the editing is well done.
overall, i kind of regret i didnt find this sooner. please take my sub and like, and stay safe~!
Bush crafter's paradise. I've never seen so many straight logs in all my life.
Absolutely great, a joy to watch, I’m a bit jealous now, what a opportunity to have an area where you can build something like that, the delicious food at the end was well deserved, thanks for sharing guys!
That's pretty smart to use the bark as shingles. I loved that the dog was helping to pull roots out of the ground. lol
This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
An hour well spent. The work done by these men is amazing and beautifully presented in this film.
Kudos and well done.
Cheers
@@TAOutdoors I am man enough to admit this was so beautiful i wept, wished i could live like that and almost went full hermit but being in south africa there is nowhere i can go.
That's the sign of a really good boy when he doesn't take food off the table. @47:50 and sits and waits.
He looks very similar to my dog with the same color, demeanor and temperament.
Mine is a mixed breed but I've discovered that he looks like a breed called a Black Mouth Cur.
My dog is just about 12 years old but he still has a lot of puppy left in him and does the same thing around food but has never, ever, ever taken any food off the table or out of anybody's hands. He is a real gentleman and such a good boy and his name is Simba but lately I call him "Saint Simba."
I have been complemented about how well behaved he is and I have to tell people that I really didn't have to do anything that he was like this from when he was a puppy; he was always pretty good at listening and if anything he trained me I didn't train him.
God Bless You Guy's

Nice little house, I have some suggestions though. You should check the drainage of the rainwater, especially on the top. The way you build it, it wont stand a regular rain and water will leak into the house. The chimine requires also to be covered from the rain and have holes on the top sides to let the smoke out. The walls should be covered with mud, this way you can stop the snakes and insects from getting in and you will keep the house warm. Remember, if you let water in, it can take several days to dry the floor (your bed included).
Note: I learned this from Native American Nahua traditional house builders. Their constructions are very cool, they build their homes on the cost as well as the mountains. Houses build by the beach can even withstand floods from up to 1.5m (5ft) high and remain relatively dry and stable if they are build on wood posts.
I also thought that they would mud brick it. I actually made a mud brick hut of about the same size. All I used was palm fronds & their stalks, string and mud. Two years later, still standing brilliantly on the sand.
It was great fun building it. Although, the thorns from the date palms hurt like the dickens!
It looks like hard work, but not stressful.. Would love to build something or be part of such a project once. Must feel really good building in the woods. Love your channel, keep it up!
Please tell me I’m not the only one who watched the entire thing without fast forwarding.
Ps: you guys make this interesting to watch (not that it isn’t interesting to begin with
@Jan Olsen Hej Jan. Our ancæstors used what was available so ofcourse they built Huse like this one too.. But yeah. Birk is more used in Denmark, but is it also more widespread in DænMark?
Okai then. You are not the only Ape who did that.. 💚
I will replay often.
No you are not :o)

That dog being the safety supervisor is cracking me up. Dogs are amazing creatures :)
The sound of the fire burning and all its surroundings was Satifying af!

Nice video fellas.
I watched this instead of doing homework. Time well spent
same here :D
Homework is not going to help you, this did.

Yes, I watched the entire video without fast-forwarding. I was mesmerized. The skills these guys have are awesome, including the cooking. I wish that I had become a craftsman and could do this, but my time has passed.
Frank Melesky you can achieve the small things. Like crafting a bowl or spoon. That in itself is a great achievement.
Never say never!
Can't believe I am only discovering this stuff in my 30's... definitely interested and want to get into this stuff! Thanks for the videos!
When I first came across your channel I couldn’t believe most of the stuff you built was with hand tools. I think my favorite part of this build was the Viking pit and the cooking your friend did.
Silverous Leonidas we surprised ourselves with this one!
What a good dog, helping out so much! Legend!
We used to do similar things in Boy Scouts. Had competitions where each troop was supplied with poles and rope and had a time limit to build what we could. Built signal towers, huts, etc etc. Camping we built fire pits and the tools to hang pots, stools etc. A good scout troop is a good thing for kids.
Sadly, woodcraft is actively discouraged in todays Boy Scouts.
@@jasonbuck5256 - Really? If that's so, it's a d*mn shame. Being out in the woods, camping, learning how to build a safe fire, pitch a tent, make shelters teaches independence, self-confidence, being part of a team and an appreciation of Nature.
Great Outdoor adventure, Thanks for sharing! I like the food part, it always tastes better over an open fire in the woods.
everytime I watch one of these after getting baked its like 4am n light ffs! awesome sstuff lads love it

@Bill do you really think you're winning anyone over by posting random jesus stuff in the comment sections of videos that have absolutely nothing to do with christianity(or any other religion)? This is why people are fleeing organized religion.
You know what the best part of this is to me? These young men must have learned all this from their fathers or someone close to them, and that must have been an amazing bonding and life experience.
Two of them are father and son.
Now we have TH-cam! This is extremely interesting! Thanks for sharing...❤
The crackle of the fire. The sound of feet walking in woods. I’m home here.
Move over......
Thank you so much for sharing this video. Not what I normally look at, but I couldn’t stop watching it. Your work is fantastic! Thanks guys, I am now a huge fan... Please...keep making more videos. Thank you all.
like a movie you hope will eventually lead to a black screen and then more ads for a better movie
This sound track is like a lullaby, or sounds of the ocean, could listen to it all night
I've literally in the last hour subscribed to this channel after having watched TA Fishing for the last couple of years,and... forget those "ASMR" channels this is the one for me
This is the stuff that dreams are made of.
The older gentleman looks just like my grandfather who passed away, I will forever be a subscriber ❤❤❤
I was glued to every second. At the end I'm thinking this took months. After the video, read the description... 10 days?!?! Wooooow! What a great group of guys.
Recovering at home, on bed rest, after day surgery watching this fascinating and serine video is the perfect prescription for my soul. I need to order one of those carved drinking vessels. My sincere thanks. Bless you all and keep up the great works.
I hope you're getting better after that surgery
@@gachabruh3222 Thank you, I'm not giving up on getting back out hiking and camping. :D

Honestly this is the most relaxing things I've watched in a long time, and I wish I could do the same thing.
Then do them.
