Iron Age Celtic Roundhouse: Building the Timber Frame Foundation | Bushcraft Project (PART 2)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ย. 2019
- We start work building the iron age celtic roundhouse shelter. Merchandise: taofficial.com/ In part 2 of this bushcraft project we dig foundation holes for the vertical posts that we collected in part 1. We bury the posts primitive style and compact them down with a stick and using the clay that we dug up to make the hole. The posts are buried about 15-18 inches into the ground. We burnt the ends of the logs to make them more rot-resistant.
We cooked up a duck stew over the fire in a cast iron dutch oven. Whilst the food was cooking over the fire we sourced some wood for beams. We took the bark off the logs using the drawknife and then notched them using the axe. Originally we had planned to put a hole in each vertical post with the auger, and then peg the beams in. However, we soon realised this would make our roof rafters uneven. So instead we made notches with an axe and angled the logs so that they would sit flush on the posts. In episode 3 we will peg these in with wood pegs and then finish the rest of the foundation frame of the bushcraft shelter.

You boys need a spade shovel makes digging lot easyer .. and a probe for braking ground loose lol
Can anyone tell what brand of hatchet Dustin is using
Did he put Chicken or Vegetable Broth in that Cast Iron Pot?
Lovely Video as always ... Thanks....
So here's a question, what happens in a year or so time when the logs start to rot? Y'all put in so much hard work, so do the shelters and building stick around or do you break them down and build something new? If so, dont you have to worry about running out of trees??
You should have had Graeham along to help with the draw knife. You know it's his favorite bushcraft chore, ha ha! Love your dad!
Please don't think I'm taking anything away from Mike because what a fantastic channel and his attention to detail, especially with the camera work and filmogrophy is amazing - especially with the content he produces! HOWEVER! There's not enough of you watching these videos without giving Dustin a try at Bushcraft Tools! I actually got into TA Outdoors first and only know Dustin because of the viking series on here but these two are as wonderfully as entertaining as each other so if you want double the entertainment check out Dustin's channel :)
Omg! Outdoor cooking aesthetic AND experimental archaeological housing construction?? I am home. TA Outdoors, where have you been all my life?
Haaaaa, you always feast well when Dustin is cooking! Will you be digging a bit of a pit on the inside leaving a width of a sleeping area all around the outer perimeter? Might make it a bit more comfortable when sitting around inside. You’d have an elevated sleep platform/storage around the outside. It’s looking great. That would also work as a cold sump and it should be warmer sleeping.
You know, it is not just men who like the outdoors. Kathy, Gennie, and I built our first fort when we were 11, 11, and 13 years old in the backwoods of the Ozark Mountains.
There is nothing better than dog help! Your Amber is one of the best.
Dude,,, you should've been a builder for the BBC show Time Team. They had a few shows where they employed craftsmen and you are better than any they had on board. Completely enjoy your adventures and a big thanks to you, Dustin, and your dad.
Amber is such a beautiful dog, so well behaved. She's been on guard duty the whole time you've been working
Don't known if this is beyond your expertise but would love seeing an old stone blacksmith build
Just noticed that your channel has nearly 1,5 million subs. I remember watching you camp in woods when there was 15k subs. But the growth is actually predictable, because you never lowered the quality since that time. Keep up the good work!
Ömer Faruk Sabır thank you
@@deepfreeze202 what is wrong with you?
Legitimately remember back when mike was a fairly new teacher filming videos on weekends and between terms. He always looked so tired at the beginning of the trip and much more rested at the end. Other than the beard he looks so much younger now. I’m not saying he didn’t love teaching but you can see how stressful and tiring it is! Long time and life long subscriber.
I remember when he introduced his father's fishing channel lol. His Bushcraft fort days
One week ago I hadn't even seen one of these videos. Now I am addicted.. I keep on checking every day to see where part three of this build is🏕️
Loving Amber. What a good dog!
Good job Mike n Dustin, good natural video. Dustin made me hungry...those duck legs veggies...yum yum yum.Thanks Arkansas Clyde
your videos like a therapy
I'm only into the video like 12 minutes, and that dog has been on guard duty the whole time! LOL
The dog was not on guard duty. He was angry. Y'all wouldn't let him dig.
I thought he was supervising. When they finished a post he went over to inspect their work.
Love the dog he's the absolute star of the show 😂🐶
A little late to the party but looking forward to this build. Enjoyed the coming build very much. Thanks!
You two work very well together just missing your dad
That’s almost painful, to watch you ramp all that fabulous raw clay back into the ground!😉
Maybe one of these episodes you can make something with it and raku fire it before/after the dinner fire? That would be EPIC!!
I always enjoy your videos. I feel like you are a good friend and I am living vicariously through you! It’s less hard to be house bound (permanent illness), when I get to see the woods and world through folks like you and Joe R. Thanks so much.
-“Torloc”
That is a great dog. Always fun watching you guys together
This is going to be great👍
Round dimensions are complicated but far more comforting in the end.
Loving this build. I wonder what's tougher to dig, clay or those roots. Still haven't forgotten that lamb copter or the spider mead. Looking forward to the next episode..... And please make sure that Dustin doesn't forget about the corned beef. 😊
You and Dustin get along so much better then my cousin and I, my cousin and I never agree on things when we are building something
Great video's. My son and some other students are making a round house at school in wales
I don't know about the guys, but that dog is living their best life!!
Guys, make a Tree House. That woods is perfect for it. Great show, yet again.
Packing with rock, the real way to set a post. Love it! Reminds me of putting in fenceposts back home in the South Carolina Piedmont.
Maybe it was just grey clay? Looks like rock at first.
Doesn't get any better than kicking back with a cup of coffee while on Holiday... watching you two build GREATNESS and "Cookin Good in the Woods"!
Love when you and Dustin work together. Amber is beyond gorgeous, love how she sits on the bench with her wee leg haha. Cannot wait to see more of this build.
Before the crock-pot there were crock-pot recipes... They just called it cooking, Love seeing the master back to help & cook for you :)
These videos make me so hungry.
Thanks for the reply Mike all the best Adam
nice video
can't wait for part 3
Super Cool Video, plus the stew was a great cook 👍👍👍👍
I loooooove your channel! I binge watch it like Netflix. LOL I wish I could do stuff like this but I had 2 back surgeries & can barely take a shower without hurting myself anymore... Beautiful dog you have too!
The only negative thing I see is, you didn't make enough brazen duck for all of us! The build is looking real good and I'm looking forward to seeing all of the upcoming parts! God bless and be safe.
Celtic roundhouse is the name of my special move in Muay Thai class. It's like a normal roundhouse but I yell something in Gaelic to throw off my opponent right before the kick
lol
Nice work mike and tom cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍
This is FANTASTIC!! Love it!!
Coming along nicely
Yep can defo support previous comments, wet your spade before digging clay - it works! - I learned that from my Fenland grandfather plus brand new to the channel, I have an ash woodland in N Staffs and planning a round house structure, having early thoughts on such plans at the moment, so I'll be glued to your trials and will be learning loads from you! The intention is to be a go to shelter if/when rain arrives on site during the delivery sessions I run; been using a parachute and or awning/tarps over the last ten years or so! - cheers and good luck, it looks a great setting you have there,
your dog's adorable, so chilled
Hiya, just want to say great series, I was on a weeks holiday in Cardiganshire, and on the road between the town of Cardigan and Newport, on the A487 on the right hand side down a small lane there is an Iron Age village called Castell Henllys. It's an actual iron age village and they have rebuilt the round houses where the original ones stood fascinating place, and it has the ability to move a person well it did me. The large round house has a fire pit in the middle and I noticed that the fire is in a square shallow pit, obviously the round house is a lot larger than the one you are building, but I think the fire is in a pit to allow it to be a larger fire. I was lucky as it was November and not very busy and because I'm disabled and use a crutch, one of the staff I think maybe the manager offered to take me up to the village in the sites car what with the village being up on a hill, this very kind lady then walked with me as I walked around and into the 3 roundhouse, which gave me the opportunity to ask questions, one being on how when I was at school (long time ago now) I remembered being taught about the Saxons and round houses, and I remember being told or reading that there would have been a hole left in the roof above the fire to let out the smoke..............wrong, the roundhouse's on this site have no such hole, I knew that what I'd been taught was now thought to be wrong but I'd never really asked why, well as this kind lady told me, wish I could remember her name (I'm terrible at remembering names) the reason is had there been a hole above the fire the chances were they would have set the roof on fire, because of the embers being pulled upwards, well who knew, I in my own way had thought it was because as it's a thatched roof there would be possible little bugs and things and that with no opening the smoke passes through the thatch killing any little nasty thing like fleas 😄😄😄 well it might do that but that wasn't the reason she told me. Now at this point in this comment, or should I say book, it occurred to me I'm probably teaching my nan how to suck eggs, sorry if that's the case, but even if that's not the case I'm sure you will be doing your own research. If you've never been to Castell Henllys I highly recommend it.
Well just to add really enjoying the videos, cant wait for the next guys. 👍👍👍👍👍
Watching this with chicken in the oven... that isn't quite ready yet, but has filled the house with a delicious smell, is near intolerable! Even when they revealed it was duck. In my mind, it was MY chicken!
Glad to see Dustin doing his food wizardry again, it was one of the nice things during the Viking House series.
Hopefully the fire pit in this house will be be designed with more high quality cooking in mind. Part of the inside can perhaps be something of a kitchen
You can pack gravel or small rocks around base of posts instead of dirt and it will further reduce heave in the winter. That will also keep moisture off the posts, further reducing rot.
You guys popped up under prepping and I had to watch. This is a piece of history that is not taught. Being able to see a piece of history being built is amazing. Keep up the amazing work
Looking forward for you guys to finish this! Nice video. Love the dog. So calm
Just got home from work and turned this on, couldn't wait to come home and watch it! I don't normally like these videos with a lot of talking, but so far I love the videos you guys put out!
Thank you for sharing! I was watching the two of you circling around the post as you were tamping it in and I thought that you could do it to music to make it a bit more fun. Looks like a wonderful feast! Enjoy!
Haha that behind-the-scenes of the behind-the-scene bit was entertaining.
Being in Canada when I put posts in I take the clay out. The reason is clay will keep the moisture in and rot your posts faster and also be more prone to shift if you get a ground frost. Keep up the good work lads you guys are doing a pile of it :)
Love what you guys at TA Outdoors are doing. I look forward to every new episode!
Just watched Episode 1 and 2 back to back. Great work Mike, Dustin and Amber. Looking forward to the next Episode..... maybe Dad comes along for the next one. Thanks for sharing guys. Cheers.
That's a good looking feast. 👍
Красавцы 👍👍👍
I Love Seeing the bark getting peeled off it’s so satisfying.
I've found it very helpful when digging clay, to sand the surface of the shovel smooth, and then rub candle wax all over it every now and then.
Love it when Dustin comes out and cooks. Great video guys.
Awesome good start into your next adventurous build series. Great job
That Dutch-oven duck made me hungry and I just ate a huge breakfast. Anyways inspiring are your building and creations.
Not often I'm 2nd to see one of your videos! Always enjoyable!
John Watson no you don’t, they’re tricked you
I love what you do so much! And the way you enjoy your firecamps to cook such good meals! XD
What a beautiful dog! By the way, great job!
Thank 🍁you🌾 very much. 🌹Teach us how to survive in woods. And build a , fireplace , we love you very much 🌼
You guys should write a recipe book with all your bushcraft companion meals. You could call it Axe & Skillet.
GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS! THANKS
*Great start to the round house! Everybody give it a 👍*
oh come on...i already brushed my teeth for bedtime...now i have to get back up and eat something :/ That dish looks beautiful!
Were gonna round off the episode.
Inadvertently the greatest pun was made
Hi Mike,
In two thousand years time they will find your post holes and do their dendrochronology and date it back to the time of TA Outdoors:) The combination of food cooking and work being done was good. Home made bread and duck..Yum
Your voice sounds a little deeper now!
Best wishes
Sandy
Love what you do
Love your skills
Been following since camp update 4
Greetings form France
Thanks for sticking around!
@@TAOutdoors Is that what you said to the wet clay?😉🤣
so do you guys just have like a badass compound of old school buildings hanging out in the woods now? love these videos.
Thank you!
Nice way to fix the mustake !!!!!
Just a word of advice: A shovel is not for digging, it is for scooping out the dirt that has already been disturbed by a pickax or the like. Digging is so much easier this way. Just like everything else, using the right tools makes a huge difference!
Awesome idea!
Another trick with post holes is to put a large rock in the bottom of the post hole for the post to stand on.
This will increase the post's "footprint" and allow the post to support more weight .
(It also reduces the risk of the post sinking deeper into ground over time)
When are you oploading part 3? Can’t wait😃
soon!
It has been done! Huzzah!
You need to team up and write a cookbook👍👍👍👍
I have had to resubscribe to your channel like seriously 20 times over the past few years of watching.... So glad your still in my feed afterwards!
Needed a nice relaxing video to watch after graft today
Great as always ! 🙂👍
Massive massive tip having been part of a team that built a roundhouse, is put the entrance in the position so it faces the sun. The aim is as the sun moves across the sky the light moves along the back wall. After a while you can tell the rough time of day, also you will always have a light source. Permanently during the day. Roundhouses can get very very dark.
great food & great craftsmanship :D
Good job boys !! Originally , I used to think that Dustin and Mike were brothers and your dad made three ! Great group of boys ... maybe you guys could adopt Dustin he's like a cool bigger brother I don't know if he's older or not but he's a little bit bigger you know LOL hahaha God bless guys and cheers ! Again , thank you for entertaining me ! I love this stuff I'm actually doing a sort of a woodland project myself so I look for all sorts of techniques and tips from you guys all right guys thank you again
You guys have such a phenomenal landscape in comparison to what I have to work with down here in TN. Great video as usual!
my wife always likes the dutch oven
Now this is going to be gorgeous
Mike ... nice of you to let Dustin cook you up something this video 😋 😂great video as always.
Your channel is awesome. Great work and what an awesome feast. 👍👍👍
Looks good, I seem to remember Robin Wood talking about a fence he made years ago after the Great Storm in the eighties. As I remember it was a three rail sweet chestnut riven from a downed tree. He also charred the posts and it was still standing twenty or thirty years later.
That chicken dish looked really good
Love that dog. Gorgeous. He just stands guard while they work. lol
Let's try this one more time
Really enjoy your videos.👍🏻
Hola nuevamente desde Mexicali, Mexico, muy buen video, felicidades
Hey Mike!
It is coming along quite nicely!!! I can relate to the wet clay issue. I once was trying to shovel out some wet clay and it was like a battle with an underground monster...as I tried to lift my shovel up, my feet would embed even further into the ground!
Yeah, as you made the hole in the post question marks were flying everywhere....If you had been putting the hole to one side of center it might have made sense to me, but only one hole didn't. I thought you might have been intending to have a hole through the cross members and two in each post to match...but then that might actually weaken the post if you had.
You cooked Duck and didn't invite me??? ;-) You know, Dustin is the "Official Master Bushcraft Cook!!!" As great as that looked, however, I don't think anything will ever surpass the "Propeller Lamb" meal!
Keep plugging away and we look so very much forward to the next episode!
