I love your dad! I lost mine in 1957 when he was just 57 and I was 10. I have wondered all these years just how it would have been if he were still here. I am an old man now 72 and have two girls, neither one interested in the outdoors, sadly! I built a tool/machine shop by myself some years ago and did a fair job of it, it's still standing. But I still miss my Dad.He would have helped. He was one of these people that could do anything.
I relate to that a lot, except my dad didn’t pass away, he became addicted to substances and hasn’t bothered in a long long time.. I’ve also always wondered what it would have been like to do something like this with him.
@@YoursUntruly BLESS YOU he will come around addiction is an awful illness it crushes you cos you know the harm you are doing to your family and yourself but the drug has a terrible hold on you that trumps everything . Give him time and let him know you will be there when he is ready to realise the harm he is doing, It literally took the death of my soulmate to wake me up and ask for help the pain and guilt I feel is awful . show him LOVE he is hurting inside I promise you,
What's so inspiring about this is not solely the pallet cabin, but the father son relationship here. It's such a rarity to see these days. More precious than gold.
I must tell you that you have kept an 83 yr old great grandma from Missouri in America thorally entertained.... watching your build.... but I am even more delighted to discover that you both have voices.....lol.... keep talking and sharing and building.... I am enjoying it so much ,,, thank you
image a father that tries to kills you or your family every 6 years about not fun really not fun he is also a grumpy man he is also 60 this year so woo hopefully he wont be doing it anymore because he's been being nicer "nicer"
I love your dad, and wouldn't mind a bit if he was in all the vids. Sadly, millions of youth have no such example of what a dad could be. Aside from fathering skills, your dad also has lots of lost basic carpentering and other skills. Go Dad!!!
Sadly Kids today only need a working internet connection. no skills needed anymore, tried teaching them all sorts of stuff but with the short attention span they have it's useless. they rather watch ppl on the internet doing stuff and ermm... ok.. hello! good work! keep making video's (for my useless kids) :)
It's a video of a dying art, having fun outdoors spending next to no money using no electricity & hurting no one (apart from your dad's knuckles!) & having loads of fun doing it.Fantastic!
@@faithrada Brings me back to the days where fun consisted of meeting your friends in your neighborhood and experiencing independence while exploring the surrounding woods(No cell phones haha).
The quality time you’re having with your dad is really moving! Spend as much time as you can with him, you both are an awesome team. I miss my late dad. Keep on rocking, very inspiring, to say the least.👍🤛
This video made me smile the whole way through! Your dad is a legend!! Love how he makes you laugh, a precious father son relationship right there! Keep it up mate!! Sam
The wealth of knowledge you get to learn from your dad, and the time you get to spend with him, is immeasurable, and can’t be replaced by any other activity in the world! You have to enjoy that time with him while you can, time is very short for us on this planet! You have to make the best of your time, and I’d say you are doing rather well! Thanks guys, I really enjoy your videos! Take care, and stay safe! Tom!
I've noticed the same things. The geese are leaving nearly a month early and the oak trees are dropping nuts and branches. My bones are telling me that winter is coming early, brutal and staying late. Your dad is a blast. Peace and be safe. 😻
17:54 the amount of excitement every Nova Scotian has when someone outside of eastern Canada makes reference to our province is insane. Wonderful video!
Such an inspiring video . Spending time with family (your dad) is priceless !!!!! Sadly lots of people have lost that tradition. They are missing out on a lot in life! You are blessed to have such a dad. I'm blessed, I still have my dad as well. He is 77 and slowly losing his memory. He still drives and goes golfing . We use to go camping alot the rustic way and I loved it. Nothing like cooking on an open camp fire. My dad was super, he took me and my 3 sisters lots of places growing up and spent as much time with is as he could. So now I spend as much time with him as I can. Thank you so much for sharing these videos, you and your dad are awesome . May God bless you both. Hope y'all have an awesome day.💜
Im 38 and my Son is 4, watching your channel has inspired me to teach my Son bushcraft. Best of all, we're making memories. thanks Mate. Love seeing you together
Omg! This awesome... I would love to make with pallets.. Small table... I'm a lady with one son and i watch this with him.. He enjoyed it... So cool. Going to Try to do a chair... Lol Thank you guy's...
Absolutely brilliant..the Conker fight really took me back to my school days I was laughing so much it hurt..I'm the same age as your dad..lol health and safety be buggered, kids today dont know the meaning of having fun...keep the videos coming lads...you are a national treasure
I love watching your vids so therpautic it helps me a lot as I have tourrets and watching your vids takes my mind of the stress and calms the tourrets down don't know what I would do without ur videos thanks
You know what...this video is amazing...this brings back what actual time spending means..i promised myself that i will spend as much time as possible with my two boys...life is short and full of regrets...I dont want to have a a life with regrets. This video is truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
LOVE YOU GUYS! SPENT MY ONLY DAY OFF FROM WORK WATCHING YOUR 1 RST. CABIN BUILD & THEN FOUND THIS ONE OF YOUR MOVING THE CABIN TO A BETTER PLACE. 😊 GREAT OLE DAD 67 & ME BEING 57 WATCHING YOU GUYS...YOU BOTH ARE AWESOME!!! THANKS FOR SHARING! I'M FROM THE USA IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE BEST WISHES GUYS & HAVE A BLESS DAY!
Your dad is a very proper gentleman and I enjoy your videos with him in them. The two of you are lovely to watch. I get tired of seeing Americans trying to act macho because they camp. LOL! You are both very refreshing--so unpretentious.
Good for you, Donald. I'm glad to know this. It looks like men just like to get away and act like macho beasts, cursing and swearing to their hearts' content and it gets old. It's evidently a guy thing, but it's so hokey. That's just how I experience it.
David Bowden, I'm truly glad to hear from you about this. Some of the people I've seen on TH-cam make me cringe. It's almost as bad as the stupid videos where the dumb guy says, "Hey Y'all! Lookit this!" and I just can't respect them. I like people like Mike and his dad. So refreshing.
You're both loads of fun to watch and listen to. No idea you were from Britain when I watched the first one. Great idea for all the homeless in our area now, instead of freezing to death in a thin tent. But it shows the ingenuity that the people who raised me grew up with. You'd think such places would rot away but over 20 years time in the southern hills of Ohio and some of them are still standing today and inhabited. Most were built during the great depression and before by immigrants. The man who raised me was very handy like you too and built a blanket chest out of pallet wood. Brings back happy memories of the hours were spent taking pallets apart and straightening nails. Dad saved them all and put them in a big coffee can of used oil so they didn't rust and become useless. He helped me build a rabbit hutch and I was so shocked for a teenage girl to have been able to do most of the work myself. It was such a character builder that I feel sad today's youth aren't having this type of fun. I'm hoping that by sharing your videos on my page that I'll reach some of them and cause them to know it doesn't take loads of money to do what you're doing. Good on both of you for sharing all this with all of us across the world and God bless you.
JUST got around to watching this episode. Watching Father & Son work together for a common goal...BRILLIANT! Thoroughly enjoyed the "Conker's (sp.?) Battle". Reminds me of an old family tradition of ours @ Easter (US). We had "Easter Egg Battles". The one who wound up with no cracks in their egg WON! We even had a trophy that my late Dad would inscribe the winners name & year on it. Fun memories of days gone past. Dad, you're delightful to watch. Thanks for the great video.
34:35 You two played the guitar very happily. I wish you two happiness forever. I learned a lot from you two. Thank you. I have done many DIY projects to recycle wooden pallets but have not had a project like yours.
You and your dad are so cute together. Watching you play conkers and laugh was really fun! It's great you get on so we'll. Your relationship is great to watch, good father, good son. I feel as if more father's and son's could share a bond like you two have the world really would be a better place. ❤️
The acorns have been shedding probably because the trees went weeks with out rain ,in the summer and the trees got scorched . Usually there’s a pre shed before winter..it’s hard to judge how the winters going to be. But I believe we will get snow quite bad this year in the UK. Enjoyed your game of conkers . Thanks guys.
Love watching you and your dad working together. Some fathers and sons don't get along so well but you guys are an example to other fathers and sons who wish they were in your shoes. I think it's great that you too get along so well together. He's your father but also your friend. He has a great sense of humor. And you are the serious type. I love the cabin you both built together. Love you guys. Stay safe.
LOVED the 1st video where you built the cabin originally. SO incredible, all the things you did. LOVED that heater/cook stove - compact and succinct. Loved the "fence" too. LOTS of great ideas in that video! Wish my Dad & we kids could have spent time together on projects like that! GREAT way for a Dad & his son to commune together, OUTSIDE! Many Thanks!
Awesome videos and genuine craftsmanship. You keep filming your adventures and projects, very entertaining and informative. Thank you from the USA, US Navy Disabled Veteran Tony
I am having fun watching you two have the best time of your LIFE. I had 7 brothers and 2 sisters growing up. I am next to the youngest brother and my older brother was 2 years older. So l played with 2 brothers which was closest to in age. The others were much older than us. My name is Gwendolyn and l am 76 years old.
My father died when I had just turned one. I would give anything to have a father to do things like this with. Thanks for sharing your memories and thanks for reusing things. My mothers basement currently has a workshop from a master wood worker, including some of his rare woods. Mom is 86 and I worked my body too hard when I was young, at 62, this old lady can't do what she wants to do anymore. So, I sit and soak up things I used to do. Love your channel, love the ASMR just so my head can stay focused on what visuals are before me. I truly enjoy what appears to be a very healthy relationship as well as fantastic content. Love historical buildings too...I had an 1815 log cabin, I sewed two sail cloth tents, a lean to and a merchants tend...by hand. I have things in several museums, commissioned items for display. Everything I make, build or direct is done with tools of the time. As a woman, you can imagine how beat up I am, hauling 16 foot long poplar logs by myself to add to the cabin. That was my commitment. Now, I bounce around the survival/historical/DIY/resto and repair...well....you get the drift, and I make suggestions or encourage others with praise. I hope this gets read, I tend to go on about stuff I love. Anyway, thank you!
Save the cabin it's very special for you and your father to spend good times with each other. 👍😁 That's very smart to stain the cabin! If it's possible to put the cabin on logs off the ground so that the water won't soak the bottom it will help save your cabin. Even putting the cabin on some cinder blocks off the ground will help save the cabin.👍 These are some of positive ideas that have helped others save there cabin's.
Great Video. I noticed a lot of Toadstools coming up early this year, tail end of August. Normally expect to see them in late September. Conkers! Blimey. I always loved a 'Cheeser'. My Brother had a 'Twelver' and he eventually confessed he'd given it a coat a varnish, which was why nobody could beat him. He was banned from using it after that. I see so many conkers laying about on the ground these days. Couldn't get them when I was younger because everyone wanted them and not many tress about in the town. My Dad used to take myself and my Brothers to a wood and we'd fill carrier bags with them and share them out with our mates (making sure we'd had first pick of course). Simpler days. Cheers gents.
Yeah. Vinegar & oven baking was fine but varnishing was adding a foreign element to the game & was cheating. A few on here have been admitting to varnishing. Tut! Tut! I once had a twenty-two-er & swapped it for a big wham bar.
These are great memories with you and your father and try to spend as much time with him as he gets older because things can change in an instant, your dad looks like he’s in good shape so enjoy your time together.
I’m a 71 year old woman and I’ve been inspired to build a pallet wood cabin on my allotment. Loved the vid.......and the one where you built it from scratch!!!! Keep up the good vids xx
Seeing them play conkers made me smile. When I was in Primary School, the school organised conker competitions. The 90s, when nobody cared about health and safety. :D
@@lonewolfluke2220It's nice seeing people who enjoy the little things that so many others don't appreciate/skip over. That feeling of appreciation can't be matched :) .
Y'all are awesome. I'm a lady from the United States and I find you and your dads closeness so humbling and beautiful. What a blessed family and two men that love the outdoors and being together. Wish our sons had with their dad what you do with yours. Keep making these wonderful videos.
ROTF!!! I love TH-cam and both of you. TH-cam enables us to be able to meet the most fun and wonderful people ever. Now I know what conkers are. When I was little, there were horse chestnuts trees all over the place. I thought they were beautiful in color and I loved anything that had to do with horses, though that doesn't count here. I was quite little and all the bigger kids used to get the chestnuts, so I never got any for myself. They are beautiful nuts, though.
I actually had a suggestion if you guys are interested. The surface on which you put your mattress, where you sleep, have you thought about maybe making a frame for that, putting some hinges on it and making a storage area beneath the bed itself?
In 1978 my husband , who used to work for a fruit juice packing plant, built a back yard shed out of pallet wood. When I watched your original build I thought of him.He passed on in 2017, but I know if he had seen what you both did, he would have rejoiced. And so much the more if he could have seen your woodland rebuild because he LOVED spending time in our Canadian woods. Bless you both!
Bit late to this video but I'm only 29 and I remember playing Conkers at school! Never soaked in vinegar but I knew that was a bit of an underhanded tactic! And I remember using the terms, "oner", "twoer" etc! Brings back memories!
Very nice video Mike! (Like all of you) I loved watching the Paletwood Cabin project. It's cool that you want to have it for a longer time. Nice place where you rebuild it. I'm realy looking forward to seeing your next video! Samuel- Into The Woods
In Germany the acorns and conkers are coming down for a week or two now. The reason is, that they are ripe. It was too dry this year. There was almost no rainfall in the whole northern hemisphere. It doesn't mean, that winter is coming early but summer was too early and too dry. ;) Nice cabin moving, especially the part of the wall mounted upside down. :)
Hi Guys! Love your videos! I'm a 60 year old Canadian woman. I have been working overseas as an English teacher for the last 13 years. However, off and on, I have been home for short periods of time. I rented a cabin in the woods last winter for 4 months in northern Ontario, before returning to Asia again. I loved it! I want to come home but find Canada so expensive to live.... and, the last place I want to be is in an apartment in the city.Your recycled, pallet wood cabin has inspired me to buy some land and build my own , off-grid cabin in northern, Ontario. Of course, it would have to designed a little differently because the area I wish to build gets down to -40 or lower in winter, so it would have to be well insulated.I'll also build it a little bigger because it will be my permanent residence. There is lots of fishing in the area and in my younger days, I used to trap and hunt, and grow my own veggies. I didn't think I could afford to build, or do it on my own, but watching your videos has given me hope. I think if I let my friends know that I'm looking for building materials and tools, I might be able to do it really cheap. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
You are right that every country gets their own winter. Down here in Canada, specially were I am, north of the 50th parallel, it is quite cold in the winter. We reach sometimes -35 to -40 celsius without the windchill. You have to be really creative to survive in the woods in winter! You are lucky in the UK! Well done guys. You showed us that wood, under any form it is, is still wood and with creativity, you can build anything. Continue the good work!
i grew up in the smokies in the United States and my grandmother always told me watch the woolly worms in the fall because the their colors were a indicator of the coming winter. if the majority of the woolly worms are brown its going to be a mild winter and the blacker they get, the worst of a winter it will be. i have watched this over the years since a young lad and i believe it holds some truth. last winter is was below 0F for over a month and it was a cold wet snowy winter and all the woolly worms were pitch black. thanks for the insight on the acorns, i have noticed as well it seems there is way more than normal this year!
will do. im interested as well. i have been working pretty hardon beefing up my wood stack this year. hoping for a good amount of snow. i hate mild winters where it rains and the ground is soup non stop for months!
I like the ones with your pops in them. Its a nice time spent together. A return to traditional values. Just a dad and his kid having a laugh in nature. Tinkering about. Lovely time.
Just a little note from an arboriculturalist, in part the reason for mass seed and yield production this year is because of the hot weather, drought stress is causing a lot of specimens to overproduce early for fear of death due to lack of water. Also hence the rapid growth as the trees sense lack of water so produce quicker, this may be why the conkers are so strong because less water dries and bonds fibers within the seed/conker. I hope this gives some explanation as to what is happening. P.S. I really enjoy your channel and it does inspire me to get out there in the woods in my spare time, along with the time I spend out there for work. Keep up the great work. Cheers (another) Mike.
That was great! I’ve never heard of that game, but you both seemed to have a lot of fun! Here in the states, well in Nevada, we have had colder weather earlier than I think I’ve ever seen. Last night it got down to 13 degrees Fahrenheit. We don’t usually see it down that low until January. My first thought is could it be from Mount Kilauea’s latest eruptions? I know volcanic activity can affect the temperatures around the globe. Then we have severe wild fires burning in California, can that affect the weather? I live in a travel trailer, so I hope I survive this winter here. I love the relationship that you have between father and son. You work really well together, and that is a unique and special thing. I love your one man bug out cabin. If I was able to I’d build one myself, but I don’t see that happening in my lifetime unfortunately. Take care and God bless you and your family!
Love your Dad!! He is so funny!! So happy to see that you could move the cabin because of the way you both built it!! Looking forward to watching much more!!
I love you guys! I really needed this today, this huge smile you have put on my face. Thank you! I lost my dad when I was 8 and even though I am a woman (girl then) he wanted another son so we would hang out in his wood shop and make runs to the lumber yard and just build stuff. I miss him.
We used to soak them in vinegar first, then put them in the oven, put the hole in, then give it as many coats of nail varnish as you could with out mum noticing.......but I think now, you have to wear gloves and goggles............all that health and safety stuff........another great video guys........ :)
Vinegar, then oven - *BUT YOU SIR ARE ONE OF THOSE IMPS WHO VARNISHED THEIR CONKERS!* Bloody cheat. I had a twenty-two-er but swapped it for a wham bar (one of the big ones).
Lunch - fish and rice yummy ... I adore the whole rustic simple life stuff you fellas do... I hope you and your dad continue to do what you do with the recycled materials... your level of carpentry and ingenuity are applaudable... Bless you both may you have many more years together
Tell your dad that we old timers in the US call those Stanley knives as well. Loved the conga ? competition at the end. Hell, I enjoyed the whole video, as always. We always injected a little danger into our games as well. Ever play Mumbley Peg? It involves flipping Jack Knives, standing on their points, through a progression of increasingly tender body parts such as finger tips, knuckles, wrist bone, elbow bone, shoulder, chin, lip, the tip of the nose and under the eyelids, and trying to get the point to stick in the ground. Digging matchsticks out of the dirt with your teeth was the penalty for being the last guy to complete the course. All the other players got to hammer in the matchsticks with a number of strikes from their knife handles that had been determined before play started. Great way for a bunch of poor 10 year olds to pass a Saturday afternoon! LOL We also played Chicken by facing off and throwing a Jack knife between our opponent's feet . If it stuck in the ground he would have to move one foot over against it, creating a smaller space between his feet for the next toss. Then he tried to stick his knife between your feet. You go back and forth this way until one of you is smart enough to realize that the gap was too small for your opponent to hit between your feet and you Chicken Out and he wins. If either of you sticks the knife into the other's foot he "wins". Dumb, huh?
September 2019 We are still having early falling of the acorns, and dropping of branches. All of our migrating birds left early. We had a huge loss in gardens this year, with extreme heat and/or dime sized hail. I noticed today while gathering some pears, that the conkers have not ripened enough to even open. How odd eh? Best to you and yours.
Desde la Argentina, los FELICITO, por tamaño ejemplo de padree e hijo, sino por lo bonito que les quedo,. Ustedes no se imaginan como me gustaría hacer algo parecido en mi país. QUE LO DISFRUTEN MUCHO
I'm 40 and was raised in England. As a kid we played Conkers all the time! it was the best game ever. And yes..... my dad soaked them in vinegar and baked them for me !
I don't know why , but when I watched your video of you building the original cabin , I thought that you were in the U.S. but no , you're British and in England ! ...lol. It's refreshing to see something like this going on over here. ...... I do have one question tho'..... Where did you manage to build this cabin , without some busybody coming along , giving it 'Oi , you can't do that here !'..... You know , these (so called) 'authorities' or other assorted 'landowner' coming along and causing you grief' ! ...... I'm intrigued ! ..... (I've recently built myself a garden shed made completely from recycled pallets . All I've had to buy 'new' is the stain to protect it and some screws.) . Good channel ! :-)
I want to ask the same question. I know England having been a long-distance walker. Unless u own the forest or woods that u are in where on earth did you find a place to build this cabin?
Jayen4 assorted "land owner"! Really! You did this in my woods and you would definitely find out all about private property. I maintain my woods, manage the trees, and PAY THE TAXES AND INSURANCE, not to mention buying it in the first place. I'd cause you entitled brats all the "grief" you could handle.
I'd only recently discovered they were British myself. Thought they were Swiss or something because I only ever watched the full build vids. When it really boils down, I don't care who comes from where if they're building cool stuff like this :)
we call your stanley knife a utility knife.. a box cutter is flat and uses a one edged razor blade. He is luck to have the old man there... he is the one with the knowledge.. (I know.. I am the old man here) at 66 and an old carpenter I can see this fella knows his business.. like most of us old timers we had to be good with our hands.. today's kids don't need to be as much.. they have those computer things to play with.. But still this young 'un is learning the skills that his dad is teaching him.. What about your squirrels are they getting fat and furry? that is one way I tell if the winter is going to be a bad one.. in the northwest part of the US.. they say that el nino' is going to be strong this winter so it is supposed to be a light dry one.. oh yeah! I always enjoy seeing father and son enjoying themselves.. No.1!
I love your dad! I lost mine in 1957 when he was just 57 and I was 10. I have wondered all these years just how it would have been if he were still here. I am an old man now 72 and have two girls, neither one interested in the outdoors, sadly! I built a tool/machine shop by myself some years ago and did a fair job of it, it's still standing. But I still miss my Dad.He would have helped. He was one of these people that could do anything.
Steve McArthur ❤️
I'm sure he did help Steve, every time you thought, what would he have done and you decided how to proceed.
I relate to that a lot, except my dad didn’t pass away, he became addicted to substances and hasn’t bothered in a long long time.. I’ve also always wondered what it would have been like to do something like this with him.
Yep !! I know where you're coming from !! I think about my dad every day ; he passed away 33 yrs ago !! I still love him .
@@YoursUntruly BLESS YOU he will come around addiction is an awful illness it crushes you cos you know the harm you are doing to your family and yourself but the drug has a terrible hold on you that trumps everything . Give him time and let him know you will be there when he is ready to realise the harm he is doing, It literally took the death of my soulmate to wake me up and ask for help the pain and guilt I feel is awful . show him LOVE he is hurting inside I promise you,
What's so inspiring about this is not solely the pallet cabin, but the father son relationship here. It's such a rarity to see these days. More precious than gold.
You noticed that too ?
*_Your dad is a riot! I can imagine all the fun you've had with him while growing up_* !!
Pro trick : watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Kian Fabian Yup, have been using Flixzone for years myself :D
@Kian Fabian yea, been watching on flixzone for months myself :D
Reminds me of my father
Your dad is hilarious and brilliant! Such a great series with you two!
I must tell you that you have kept an 83 yr old great grandma from Missouri in America thorally entertained.... watching your build.... but I am even more delighted to discover that you both have voices.....lol.... keep talking and sharing and building.... I am enjoying it so much ,,, thank you
Your father is great! You're lucky to have him around. Cherish every minute!👍🤠
Katherine Uribe i was just about to comment the same thing.
He really is the best, thank you for the kind comment
my father isn't like him even 1% :(
Agreed,lost mine in 2009
image a father that tries to kills you or your family every 6 years about not fun really not fun he is also a grumpy man he is also 60 this year so woo hopefully he wont be doing it anymore because he's been being nicer "nicer"

Good comment.....REALZ.
Sadly Kids today only need a working internet connection. no skills needed anymore, tried teaching them all sorts of stuff but with the short attention span they have it's useless. they rather watch ppl on the internet doing stuff and ermm... ok.. hello! good work! keep making video's (for my useless kids) :)

It’s so good to see father and son hanging out having fun, like best friends. I love you guys..
I love "Dad". He seems like the kind of guy we all want for a dad. :-)

Absolutely brilliant..the Conker fight really took me back to my school days I was laughing so much it hurt..I'm the same age as your dad..lol health and safety be buggered, kids today dont know the meaning of having fun...keep the videos coming lads...you are a national treasure
I love watching your vids so therpautic it helps me a lot as I have tourrets and watching your vids takes my mind of the stress and calms the tourrets down don't know what I would do without ur videos thanks
I am glad the videos help you
@@TAOutdoors thanks alot mate keep it up👍
An inspiring comment!
You know what...this video is amazing...this brings back what actual time spending means..i promised myself that i will spend as much time as possible with my two boys...life is short and full of regrets...I dont want to have a a life with regrets. This video is truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
LOVE YOU GUYS! SPENT MY ONLY DAY OFF FROM WORK WATCHING YOUR 1 RST. CABIN BUILD & THEN FOUND THIS ONE OF YOUR MOVING THE CABIN TO A BETTER PLACE. 😊 GREAT OLE DAD 67 & ME BEING 57 WATCHING YOU GUYS...YOU BOTH ARE AWESOME!!! THANKS FOR SHARING! I'M FROM THE USA IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
BEST WISHES GUYS & HAVE A BLESS DAY!
Your dad is a very proper gentleman and I enjoy your videos with him in them. The two of you are lovely to watch. I get tired of seeing Americans trying to act macho because they camp. LOL! You are both very refreshing--so unpretentious.
Not all of us act that way. As for myself i prefer to be one with nature, to rough it.
Good for you, Donald. I'm glad to know this. It looks like men just like to get away and act like macho beasts, cursing and swearing to their hearts' content and it gets old. It's evidently a guy thing, but it's so hokey. That's just how I experience it.
100% agreed!!!
100%agree with Donald, not all us Americans act like Neanderthals, whilst out and about in the woods.
David Bowden, I'm truly glad to hear from you about this. Some of the people I've seen on TH-cam make me cringe. It's almost as bad as the stupid videos where the dumb guy says, "Hey Y'all! Lookit this!" and I just can't respect them. I like people like Mike and his dad. So refreshing.
TA Renovation! Love the cabin and happy to see her being saved and evolved.
She needs a name ♥
Thank you, that's exactly why we didn't want it to go!
Call the cabin "SMITH cabin"
lol good to see a TAFishing fan here!
TA's PALLETTE' Get Away!! Get it Chalete'
That standing metal fire pit out of an old tire rim is an excellent idea👍👍👍 I'm going to have to try that out
You're both loads of fun to watch and listen to. No idea you were from Britain when I watched the first one. Great idea for all the homeless in our area now, instead of freezing to death in a thin tent. But it shows the ingenuity that the people who raised me grew up with. You'd think such places would rot away but over 20 years time in the southern hills of Ohio and some of them are still standing today and inhabited. Most were built during the great depression and before by immigrants. The man who raised me was very handy like you too and built a blanket chest out of pallet wood. Brings back happy memories of the hours were spent taking pallets apart and straightening nails. Dad saved them all and put them in a big coffee can of used oil so they didn't rust and become useless. He helped me build a rabbit hutch and I was so shocked for a teenage girl to have been able to do most of the work myself. It was such a character builder that I feel sad today's youth aren't having this type of fun. I'm hoping that by sharing your videos on my page that I'll reach some of them and cause them to know it doesn't take loads of money to do what you're doing. Good on both of you for sharing all this with all of us across the world and God bless you.
JUST got around to watching this episode. Watching Father & Son work together for a common goal...BRILLIANT! Thoroughly enjoyed the "Conker's (sp.?) Battle". Reminds me of an old family tradition of ours @ Easter (US). We had "Easter Egg Battles". The one who wound up with no cracks in their egg WON! We even had a trophy that my late Dad would inscribe the winners name & year on it. Fun memories of days gone past. Dad, you're delightful to watch. Thanks for the great video.
I'm so glad that you've decided to preserve the cabin it's so cool .
Conker fights - those were the days! Great vid as always
your father is adorable! i love his enthusiasm, you both rock!
34:35 You two played the guitar very happily. I wish you two happiness forever. I learned a lot from you two. Thank you. I have done many DIY projects to recycle wooden pallets but have not had a project like yours.
You and your dad are so cute together. Watching you play conkers and laugh was really fun! It's great you get on so we'll. Your relationship is great to watch, good father, good son. I feel as if more father's and son's could share a bond like you two have the world really would be a better place. ❤️
TA Conkers, totally gonna watch that
The acorns have been shedding probably because the trees went weeks with out rain ,in the summer and the trees got scorched .
Usually there’s a pre shed before winter..it’s hard to judge how the winters going to be.
But I believe we will get snow quite bad this year in the UK.
Enjoyed your game of conkers .
Thanks guys.
Certainly any drought situation will effect such things.
I hope I'm able to do this with my father once I get out of the Military. Truly inspiring man thank you.
Love watching you and your dad working together. Some fathers and sons don't get along so well but you guys are an example to other fathers and sons who wish they were in your shoes. I think it's great that you too get along so well together. He's your father but also your friend. He has a great sense of humor. And you are the serious type. I love the cabin you both built together. Love you guys. Stay safe.
LOVED the 1st video where you built the cabin originally. SO incredible, all the things you did. LOVED that heater/cook stove - compact and succinct. Loved the "fence" too. LOTS of great ideas in that video! Wish my Dad & we kids could have spent time together on projects like that! GREAT way for a Dad & his son to commune together, OUTSIDE! Many Thanks!
Nice stain job. I would copper green the bottom to protect it from the moisture. Good location it makes sense..
I think I am in LOVE with your dad 🤗
He's so daddish 😆❣️
Awesome videos and genuine craftsmanship. You keep filming your adventures and projects, very entertaining and informative. Thank you from the USA,
US Navy Disabled Veteran Tony
I am having fun watching you two have the best time of your LIFE. I had 7 brothers and 2 sisters growing up. I am next to the youngest brother and my older brother was 2 years older. So l played with 2 brothers which was closest to in age. The others were much older than us. My name is Gwendolyn and l am 76 years old.
My father died when I had just turned one. I would give anything to have a father to do things like this with. Thanks for sharing your memories and thanks for reusing things. My mothers basement currently has a workshop from a master wood worker, including some of his rare woods. Mom is 86 and I worked my body too hard when I was young, at 62, this old lady can't do what she wants to do anymore. So, I sit and soak up things I used to do. Love your channel, love the ASMR just so my head can stay focused on what visuals are before me.
I truly enjoy what appears to be a very healthy relationship as well as fantastic content. Love historical buildings too...I had an 1815 log cabin, I sewed two sail cloth tents, a lean to and a merchants tend...by hand. I have things in several museums, commissioned items for display. Everything I make, build or direct is done with tools of the time. As a woman, you can imagine how beat up I am, hauling 16 foot long poplar logs by myself to add to the cabin. That was my commitment. Now, I bounce around the survival/historical/DIY/resto and repair...well....you get the drift, and I make suggestions or encourage others with praise. I hope this gets read, I tend to go on about stuff I love.
Anyway, thank you!
Save the cabin it's very special for you and your father to spend good times with each other.
👍😁 That's very smart to stain the cabin!
If it's possible to put the cabin on logs off the ground so that the water won't soak the bottom it will help save your cabin.
Even putting the cabin on some cinder blocks off the ground will help save the cabin.👍
These are some of positive ideas that have helped others save there cabin's.
After all I learned from your vids, the best is the smile on my face every time I watch the video. Thanks Lads!!!
Great Video.
I noticed a lot of Toadstools coming up early this year, tail end of August. Normally expect to see them in late September.
Conkers! Blimey. I always loved a 'Cheeser'. My Brother had a 'Twelver' and he eventually confessed he'd given it a coat a varnish, which was why nobody could beat him. He was banned from using it after that. I see so many conkers laying about on the ground these days. Couldn't get them when I was younger because everyone wanted them and not many tress about in the town. My Dad used to take myself and my Brothers to a wood and we'd fill carrier bags with them and share them out with our mates (making sure we'd had first pick of course). Simpler days. Cheers gents.
Yeah. Vinegar & oven baking was fine but varnishing was adding a foreign element to the game & was cheating. A few on here have been admitting to varnishing. Tut! Tut!
I once had a twenty-two-er & swapped it for a big wham bar.
These are great memories with you and your father and try to spend as much time with him as he gets older because things can change in an instant, your dad looks like he’s in good shape so enjoy your time together.
I’m a 71 year old woman and I’ve been inspired to build a pallet wood cabin on my allotment. Loved the vid.......and the one where you built it from scratch!!!! Keep up the good vids xx
pretty cool vid lads great to see the fort and cabin reunited together they stand divided they fall
Your chemistry is amazing. Reminds me when my gdad was a bit younger, the crazy stuff we did lo.. Good times.
Thank you very much for all the extra work!
Thanks for the kind comment
I love watching father and son videos you are what family is all about thank you
Dad us wonderful. You are blessed to have him. Super video. Love the cabin! Takes me down memory lane with my father.
Great video, I hope we get a really cold winter, snow is much more fun than rain. All the best
Skye. 😀👍
@Jeffrey Olson Yea, I'm in Scotland 🏴 we get a bit more snow than England, but not a solid 6 months. All the best.
Skye
True! But we do understand the joy of 6 months of rain......
@@TAOutdoors yup. I'm planning a kick ass shelter build this winter that will keep me dry and warm no matter what nature throws at me.
Rain is our thing lol
@@sosteve9113 that's why my channel is called Swamp Valley lol, rainy old Scotland.
Seeing them play conkers made me smile. When I was in Primary School, the school organised conker competitions. The 90s, when nobody cared about health and safety. :D
Eventually you'll have a whole village set up when you start making your own iron and coal.
I’ll be the first to visit. It’ll almost be like a Skyrim experience, walking into Riverwood.
@@lonewolfluke2220It's nice seeing people who enjoy the little things that so many others don't appreciate/skip over. That feeling of appreciation can't be matched :) .
These guys are playing minecraft in real life!!!!
How T.F do you 'make' coal?
@alanrtment porter Post that time lapse on TH-cam for the US Department of Energy.
This is just wonderful father and son working together time flies enjoy these times together you have such great memories thank you
Y'all are awesome. I'm a lady from the United States and I find you and your dads closeness so humbling and beautiful. What a blessed family and two men that love the outdoors and being together. Wish our sons had with their dad what you do with yours. Keep making these wonderful videos.
I have watched a bunch of your videos and loved you and your dad's banter, but that conkers match was just brilliant! :D
ROTF!!! I love TH-cam and both of you. TH-cam enables us to be able to meet the most fun and wonderful people ever. Now I know what conkers are. When I was little, there were horse chestnuts trees all over the place. I thought they were beautiful in color and I loved anything that had to do with horses, though that doesn't count here. I was quite little and all the bigger kids used to get the chestnuts, so I never got any for myself. They are beautiful nuts, though.
I actually had a suggestion if you guys are interested.
The surface on which you put your mattress, where you sleep, have you thought about maybe making a frame for that, putting some hinges on it and making a storage area beneath the bed itself?
In 1978 my husband , who used to work for a fruit juice packing plant, built a back yard shed out of pallet wood. When I watched your original build I thought of him.He passed on in 2017, but I know if he had seen what you both did, he would have rejoiced. And so much the more if he could have seen your woodland rebuild because he LOVED spending time in our Canadian woods. Bless you both!
Bit late to this video but I'm only 29 and I remember playing Conkers at school! Never soaked in vinegar but I knew that was a bit of an underhanded tactic! And I remember using the terms, "oner", "twoer" etc! Brings back memories!
This build was awesome. Watched the original video yesterday
Very nice video Mike! (Like all of you) I loved watching the Paletwood Cabin project. It's cool that you want to have it for a longer time. Nice place where you rebuild it. I'm realy looking forward to seeing your next video! Samuel- Into The Woods
Thanks Samuel!
In Germany the acorns and conkers are coming down for a week or two now. The reason is, that they are ripe. It was too dry this year. There was almost no rainfall in the whole northern hemisphere. It doesn't mean, that winter is coming early but summer was too early and too dry. ;) Nice cabin moving, especially the part of the wall mounted upside down. :)
Hi Guys! Love your videos! I'm a 60 year old Canadian woman. I have been working overseas as an English teacher for the last 13 years. However, off and on, I have been home for short periods of time. I rented a cabin in the woods last winter for 4 months in northern Ontario, before returning to Asia again. I loved it! I want to come home but find Canada so expensive to live.... and, the last place I want to be is in an apartment in the city.Your recycled, pallet wood cabin has inspired me to buy some land and build my own , off-grid cabin in northern, Ontario. Of course, it would have to designed a little differently because the area I wish to build gets down to -40 or lower in winter, so it would have to be well insulated.I'll also build it a little bigger because it will be my permanent residence. There is lots of fishing in the area and in my younger days, I used to trap and hunt, and grow my own veggies. I didn't think I could afford to build, or do it on my own, but watching your videos has given me hope. I think if I let my friends know that I'm looking for building materials and tools, I might be able to do it really cheap. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
You are right that every country gets their own winter. Down here in Canada, specially were I am, north of the 50th parallel, it is quite cold in the winter. We reach sometimes -35 to -40 celsius without the windchill. You have to be really creative to survive in the woods in winter! You are lucky in the UK! Well done guys. You showed us that wood, under any form it is, is still wood and with creativity, you can build anything. Continue the good work!
i grew up in the smokies in the United States and my grandmother always told me watch the woolly worms in the fall because the their colors were a indicator of the coming winter. if the majority of the woolly worms are brown its going to be a mild winter and the blacker they get, the worst of a winter it will be. i have watched this over the years since a young lad and i believe it holds some truth. last winter is was below 0F for over a month and it was a cold wet snowy winter and all the woolly worms were pitch black. thanks for the insight on the acorns, i have noticed as well it seems there is way more than normal this year!
That's interesting! Thanks for telling us, let us know what they are like this year!
Nice to see a fellow person that grew up in the smokies I am currently living in Sevierville TN.
i lived in townsend! currently in the works of moving back!
will do. im interested as well. i have been working pretty hardon beefing up my wood stack this year. hoping for a good amount of snow. i hate mild winters where it rains and the ground is soup non stop for months!
My grandmother told me this too in Nebraska and it’s usually correct to a certain degree
I really would like to learn from a guy like his father.
I absolutely love this channel, definitely recommending it to my friends
What a beautiful father and son, I have really enjoyed watching your videos thank you so much for sharing
I like the ones with your pops in them. Its a nice time spent together. A return to traditional values. Just a dad and his kid having a laugh in nature. Tinkering about. Lovely time.
I love this channel. I feel like I'm listening to friends talking story.
Just a little note from an arboriculturalist, in part the reason for mass seed and yield production this year is because of the hot weather, drought stress is causing a lot of specimens to overproduce early for fear of death due to lack of water. Also hence the rapid growth as the trees sense lack of water so produce quicker, this may be why the conkers are so strong because less water dries and bonds fibers within the seed/conker. I hope this gives some explanation as to what is happening. P.S. I really enjoy your channel and it does inspire me to get out there in the woods in my spare time, along with the time I spend out there for work. Keep up the great work. Cheers (another) Mike.
Thanks Michael!
That was great! I’ve never heard of that game, but you both seemed to have a lot of fun! Here in the states, well in Nevada, we have had colder weather earlier than I think I’ve ever seen. Last night it got down to 13 degrees Fahrenheit. We don’t usually see it down that low until January. My first thought is could it be from Mount Kilauea’s latest eruptions? I know volcanic activity can affect the temperatures around the globe. Then we have severe wild fires burning in California, can that affect the weather? I live in a travel trailer, so I hope I survive this winter here. I love the relationship that you have between father and son. You work really well together, and that is a unique and special thing. I love your one man bug out cabin. If I was able to I’d build one myself, but I don’t see that happening in my lifetime unfortunately. Take care and God bless you and your family!
Love your Dad!! He is so funny!! So happy to see that you could move the cabin because of the way you both built it!! Looking forward to watching much more!!
I love you guys! I really needed this today, this huge smile you have put on my face. Thank you! I lost my dad when I was 8 and even though I am a woman (girl then) he wanted another son so we would hang out in his wood shop and make runs to the lumber yard and just build stuff. I miss him.
the persimmons have spoons, our southern Illinois weather predictor..hard winter ahead
We used to soak them in vinegar first, then put them in the oven, put the hole in, then give it as many coats of nail varnish as you could with out mum noticing.......but I think now, you have to wear gloves and goggles............all that health and safety stuff........another great video guys........ :)
Vinegar, then oven - *BUT YOU SIR ARE ONE OF THOSE IMPS WHO VARNISHED THEIR CONKERS!* Bloody cheat.
I had a twenty-two-er but swapped it for a wham bar (one of the big ones).
I pray that my Son and I have that kind of a relationship when we're that age
You must build it, and put him away of tv
@@Josh-wz6ud yeah man, more and more we're getting away from electronics
Lunch - fish and rice yummy ... I adore the whole rustic simple life stuff you fellas do... I hope you and your dad continue to do what you do with the recycled materials... your level of carpentry and ingenuity are applaudable... Bless you both may you have many more years together
Very lovely father and son. I love this vedio.
Tell your dad that we old timers in the US call those Stanley knives as well. Loved the conga ? competition at the end. Hell, I enjoyed the whole video, as always. We always injected a little danger into our games as well. Ever play Mumbley Peg? It involves flipping Jack Knives, standing on their points, through a progression of increasingly tender body parts such as finger tips, knuckles, wrist bone, elbow bone, shoulder, chin, lip, the tip of the nose and under the eyelids, and trying to get the point to stick in the ground. Digging matchsticks out of the dirt with your teeth was the penalty for being the last guy to complete the course. All the other players got to hammer in the matchsticks with a number of strikes from their knife handles that had been determined before play started. Great way for a bunch of poor 10 year olds to pass a Saturday afternoon! LOL
We also played Chicken by facing off and throwing a Jack knife between our opponent's feet . If it stuck in the ground he would have to move one foot over against it, creating a smaller space between his feet for the next toss. Then he tried to stick his knife between your feet. You go back and forth this way until one of you is smart enough to realize that the gap was too small for your opponent to hit between your feet and you Chicken Out and he wins. If either of you sticks the knife into the other's foot he "wins". Dumb, huh?
Haha sounds like a dangerous game !
chicken eas a great game . time when everyone carried a knife and no one ever got hurt !!!!
that was a pass time for my brother and i.
@@davidharrison6615 amen to that
John mony great old game . Played it every dinner time at school !
LOVE QUAILTY TIME WITH YOR DAD. WISH MINE WAS STILL HERE WITH ME. PRICELESS.
September 2019 We are still having early falling of the acorns, and dropping of branches. All of our migrating birds left early. We had a huge loss in gardens this year, with extreme heat and/or dime sized hail. I noticed today while gathering some pears, that the conkers have not ripened enough to even open. How odd eh? Best to you and yours.
SEPT 2019 WEATHER ANOMALIES, RUN-UP TO THE PLANDEMIC 2020.....HOW ODD, EH?
Desde la Argentina, los FELICITO, por tamaño ejemplo de padree e hijo, sino por lo bonito que les quedo,. Ustedes no se imaginan como me gustaría hacer algo parecido en mi país. QUE LO DISFRUTEN MUCHO
I'm 40 and was raised in England. As a kid we played Conkers all the time! it was the best game ever. And yes..... my dad soaked them in vinegar and baked them for me !
Can we have a weekly conker contest ! Your dad is a legend he cracks me up every video 😂
I don't know why , but when I watched your video of you building the original cabin , I thought that you were in the U.S. but no , you're British and in England ! ...lol. It's refreshing to see something like this going on over here. ...... I do have one question tho'..... Where did you manage to build this cabin , without some busybody coming along , giving it 'Oi , you can't do that here !'..... You know , these (so called) 'authorities' or other assorted 'landowner' coming along and causing you grief' ! ...... I'm intrigued ! ..... (I've recently built myself a garden shed made completely from recycled pallets . All I've had to buy 'new' is the stain to protect it and some screws.) . Good channel ! :-)
I want to ask the same question. I know England having been a long-distance walker. Unless u own the forest or woods that u are in where on earth did you find a place to build this cabin?
Jayen4 assorted "land owner"! Really! You did this in my woods and you would definitely find out all about private property. I maintain my woods, manage the trees, and PAY THE TAXES AND INSURANCE, not to mention buying it in the first place. I'd cause you entitled brats all the "grief" you could handle.
@@HB-bc5po do what??
I'd only recently discovered they were British myself. Thought they were Swiss or something because I only ever watched the full build vids. When it really boils down, I don't care who comes from where if they're building cool stuff like this :)
@@HB-bc5po 🤣🤣
we call your stanley knife a utility knife.. a box cutter is flat and uses a one edged razor blade. He is luck to have the old man there... he is the one with the knowledge.. (I know.. I am the old man here) at 66 and an old carpenter I can see this fella knows his business.. like most of us old timers we had to be good with our hands.. today's kids don't need to be as much.. they have those computer things to play with.. But still this young 'un is learning the skills that his dad is teaching him.. What about your squirrels are they getting fat and furry? that is one way I tell if the winter is going to be a bad one.. in the northwest part of the US.. they say that el nino' is going to be strong this winter so it is supposed to be a light dry one.. oh yeah! I always enjoy seeing father and son enjoying themselves.. No.1!
tinkmarshino
These new kids are weak.
Can tell that your dad did a good job for y'all to have the kind of relationship you guys do.
thumbs up for your Father's wisdom!
Absolute legends 😆🍻
sweet video man
Παίζουν ποσό γλυκό είναι αυτό να τους κοιτάς να παίζουν κοκας
"I've lost me conkers!" OHGOD! I teared up laughing straight away.
You enjoy each other's company so much. It's lovely.
great to see ppl admiting mistakes and fixing it rather than making excuses great video fellas.
