Building a Medieval Village in 32 Days: Bushcraft Skills | Bushcraft Shelters
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2021
- Building a medieval village in 32 days using bushcraft skills and simple hand tools. We build a medieval viking house, celtic roundhouse and saxon pit house using resources found in nature. These bushcraft shelters were inspired by the ancient history of Britain: Anglo Saxons, Vikings and Celts.
The Viking House was built in 10 days. The frame is made from cedar trees. We burnt the ned of the logs using an ancient technique (similar to shou sugi ban). This helps to preserve the wood in the ground from rot and bugs. We then peeled the bark off the cedar tree and tiled the roof with these shingles. We dug a viking longpit and lined it with stones and clay. We then made a folding window and raised beds.
The Saxon House was also built in 10 days. For this we built the timber frame from pine. We used mortise and tenon joinery with hand tools to make the frame sturdy and self-holding. We then weaved sticks in and out for the walls and covered this with a clay and straw mixture (wattle and daub). We then thatched the roof with water reed and capped the ridge with long straw. The door we built from reclaimed wood and hand forged nails. Inside we built a small circle firepit and raised bed. The window is made entirely from natural materials, wood pegs, wedges and joinery.
The Celtic Roundhouse was built in 12 days. The round frame was made with cedar trees which had the bark peeled and ends burnt to preserve the wood for longer in the ground. We then built a medieval fence using wattle and daub (hazel sticks and clay/straw/ash mix). We used these to make the walls of the roundhouse. We used hazel battens and purlins and then for the roof we also thatched this with water reed and made a cap of long straw.

Britain has so much history to it, and for me these builds have been a big part of my journey in both the Bushcraft world and the history of Britain. Being able to use natural materials and skills that my ancestors would have used hundreds of years ago brings me a real sense of belonging. I hope that this video helps to inspire you to get outside, learn new skills and get involved in the world of nature. Please share with your friends if you enjoyed it! New video next week. Cheers - Mike
Thankyou for inspiring me to start my channel, was watching when you were still teaching. Also over on taf you and your Dad have such a special bond one which i wish i had with my step Dad but thankyou for sharing that bond it's being a great help for building my own bond with my children. You and your Dad should be so proud not only of the channels but the amazing people you both are.
Thank you, I am wondering when can I move in?! ☺️
Namaste. 🙏. XxX.
They were some amazing works by you guys!! 👍👍👍👍
Why do you burn the ends of the logs like that?😀
@@rhettrainey8152 so that they last longer against water and moisture. The burning preserves the wood
As a hunter and fisherman here in the U.S. I can imagine how in tune a person could become with nature after spending so much solitude and peacefulness in the outdoors. You would become so familiar with the sounds, sights and smells of your surroundings that when one little item is off, it would shake you somehow. Excellent work gentleman!!! Thank you for the peacefulness of this clip.
Good lord, man. This channel has some of the most extravagant bushcraft builds I've ever seen. It's like what real people would have done back then building villages.
At least he has a labor skill for the apocalypse
They exist everywhere but are hard to find as many are on either people's property or simply parts of the wilderness people simply just choose not to go because they don't think anything is there - the perfect spot
Yeah this channel is cool. You should also check out Advoko Makes, you'll like that channel too.
@@roperttt_ Nice, man. I'll check it out.
They're building skills are okay, but have you been looking at what they've been cooking!
What should we build next?
Let’s get planning.
A teepee 👍
This is awesome, decided your daughter wasn’t the only one that needed their own village 😂😂
@J P dyslexia 😂😂 thanks
Молодцы мужики!💪 Класс!👍
I took a few notes. My sons and I love playing survival. Next spring we will make use of these skills. God bless you both.
Настоящие мужики 💪🏻
You are so lucky to have a place where you can do this! I wouldn't stop building either!
@@eddiemoore You unsubscribing barely made a difference in his 1.8million following 😂 be happy for someone
@@eddiemoore he more than likely already had this land & you’re a hater dude. why did you subscribe in the first place if you didn’t want to support the growth and success of this channel?
@@eddiemoore Your not paying a cent to him youtube is and seriously whats wrong with you
@@eddiemoore what a vile emotion to be envious. Im sure you're a frustrated in life.
@@eddiemoore his dad probably pre owned the land so yh shhh
The sound of the shaving draw on pine is probably one of the most enjoyable sounds out there. Great builds!!
This is the sort of content I actually enjoy on RUclips. Bravo
Love this! It's bringing history alive, making us see how efficient and able the men are today and then. Yes the men! Bravo.
Great showing of all three of these incredible builds! I know that I for one loved to see the step by step process that went into their being in the world. You have put in a massive amount of time and effort to bring us this footage. I cant wait to see what you will create next!! You always have amazing footage and I really enjoy the content! Keep up the good work... I can't wait for your next video!!
Many thanks!
🏹🐜?😭
Never have I been more inspired to go and make my own settlement in the middle of no where, job for this month coming I think
You guys rock! I'm learning so much and enjoying everything. Keep on keeping on outdoors!
Gosh this video must have been a huge undertaking. The bond you and your father have is awesome. My grandfather has been ill for many years now, but I used to spend hours in his workshop learning how to use his wood-working tools, watch him rebuild engines, and listen to his stories.
I’m really curious how you plan these builds. Do you plan out what each days work will consist of and/or draw detailed mock-ups? Love your videos
The same with me and my grandfather. I've seen him hand planning lumber, split logs using wedges and peg joints. I spent endless hours trailing along as he worked around the farm.
Didn’t do any drawing mock-ups for these. Had the ideas in my head, and had some discussions with my Dad and Dustin and together we just planned for each day what we would try and get done.
@@TAOutdoors that's absolutely amazing! You are both unbelievably talented and create such unimaginable beauty! So happy I found your channel 😀
still not seeing notifications Mike even though subscribed just so you know. Simply found this on my home screen
I have the same problem
RUclips having a nightmare with my notifications lately.
Yeah, youtube and notifications have been pretty messed up for awhile now. generally if I don't see anything from someone I know posts regularly I'll go to the channel manually....and generally speaking find out I've missed a few vids
Yeah I didnt get notified either it just popped up while watching another video.
My grandfather knew all the old methods of building and farming. I watch him many times as a child use those hand tools. Watching you reminds me so much of him.
BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!
Awesome village. Thank you for sharing
I love seeing this family together watching them work together 👍🏻👍🏻
Been following you guys for a while now and I have to say, you get better by the day. The builds, the editing, the food! This channel is my therapy and reminds me the good things in life. Keep on keeping on gentlemen. Cheers from Argentina
Wahou, c'est juste magnifique ce savoir faire !!!!
Great stuff! Made even better by zero narration or music! It let's YOU set the mood! Absolutely fantastic!
Watching these videos facinates me. Reminds me of how difficult it was in the period. Well done!!
The amount of time and attention you must put into positioning your camera for every one of these shots is astounding!
Have you guys seen the Russian bushcrafter living off the grid in St. Petersburgh? He buit his own waterwheel to power a generator as well as a wood lathe, flour mill.He grows and hunts his own foos, buit a small dam to run his water wheel He stores electricity in batteries to power some of his powertools.
Advoko makes?
Just curious if he lives off the grid hows he able to post RUclips videos (and whats his channel because thats something I need to check out)
@@DarthAxolotl He doesn't actually live out at his cabin full time. He's an attorney ( i think ) and uses vacation time to come out to complete projects at the cabin. Very amazing guy.
@@steveqhanson6835 what is his channel
Are you talking about Advoko Makes?
That TA coffee is lovely. It even got my mum's approval. And that's not easy . Will be ordering more. 👍
Cheers Mark, glad you like it 👍🏻
What an awesome piece of work sir. Thank you for delving into the history of house building. It also must be so rewarding for you to be working right along side your Dad, who I must say is not a stranger to getting his hands dirty. KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK
Cheers Bill
Thanks 👍🏻
Brilliant work!
Cheers buddy!
First, also, I'm a huge fan! Thes videos inspired me to build my own off the grid tiny cabin!
Noice
He deserves more views
well It might be one of the hardest edits but you know also very relaxing mucho needed in this continuing struggle times your dad so chilled he even needed a lie down lol
👍
Love these. Not gonna lie, these videos help me get some much needed rest. Bushcraft and the dog is nice to watch too😆
Nice vid!
Awesome builds. Love them all
There just something awesome about getting a few friends together and going out into the forest and putting the work in to constructing stuff like this I love it 💯
Wow this would take a long time to edit all these together. Well done, I watched all them when they were built but enjoyed this video.
It did! Cheers for watching 👍🏻
Looking forward to seeing your daughter helping dad and grandpa building something fun. Playing at making cob. Great re-edit guys.
I admire the skills and patience that you guys have! Freaking kool😎
I need to see the 100’s of people who do this stuff come together and build villages in the countries that need them.
I'd like to see more of you guys just living there. Seeing the nature around your hut.
MAGNIFICENT!! WELL DONE PUTTING IT TOGETHER!! 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
I dont know what I enjoyed more of... watching the compiled version of all those builds I've watched weekly for the last three years or was it all those good meals that were prepared during those episodes? The Helicopter Shank was still one of my most favorite dinner segments!
Whenever the apocalypse happens im finding these dudes. They know how to survive
Love it !
This is sooo nice to watch !
Great work 🙌🏻
Loving the videos!
Need 2 uploads a week Mike! Give the people what they want!
Might start doing this soon…

Perfect, very good work. Expert in survival.
Absolutely brilliant. And I’ve got to get me one of those griddle things. My neighbor got himself one and now I’ve seen you cooking on it. If anyone I know is reading this, you know Fathers Day is this Sunday. Just saying…
I absolutely loved watching this. Well done to all involved.
I just came across your page and my goodness, it's awesome! This video is fantastic! The work you guys did is amazing, absolutely amazing!
You guys are amazing! What do you do with all of the things you build? Are you building them for yourselves or for someone or for historical reasons? I'm just curious. I've never seen anyone work as hard as you all do. Great work and fascinating to watch. Thank you.
Fantastic video, thanks for putting it together, and keeping the old skills alive!! XxX
You know I have to say apart from some of the awesome build's you do the best part to take away from this is the family time making these together.
Awesome video!! The craftsmanship to neat everything together was Outstanding. You'll are very dedicated and you got my praise. Awesome video!!!
Can’t wait for the next build, keep up the great work mate!
I really love the creative use of dowels and different joinery you guys use! Beautiful work!!
I will never get tired of the sound of wood splitting.
This is what peace sounds and looks like.
the atmosphere is beautiful, comfortable and the engineering techniques are great and cool
We're going to be needing these soon.
This is fine film making. Some of the best on RUclips.
Melihat video ini, saya bangga tinggal di Asia. Lihatlah betapa kayanya budaya kami yang masih melestarikan ajaran leluhur kami yang mempunyai peradaban maju. Kalau kau ingin melihat rumah medieval asli datanglah ke Indonesia, china, japan, north korea, pasti ada bangunan tradisional yang cantik
Absolutely Remarkable!!! Excellent video. 👍
Good job, yall two are a great team!
Such a great village, keep up the good and awesome work!
Getting so many ideas for off grid. Thanks.
Awesome video. Loved the primitive building techniques.
Unbelievable craftsmanship and love the video. So chilled
That's beautiful job. Loved it.
This is awesome, soo soothing.
Respect! I love watching the this video, the sound of the nature, in building the log house, the Bush crafts, and your knowledge and the carpentry skills in using the materials from the nature. The cooking food outdoor, the skills to of course to be able to start the fire, making the mud to create stability to the walls and to keep the room warm from cold and stay out of the rains. The survival skills that you two have, you could be proud of yourself for not losing the house to stay in the nature for appreciating more mother nature surround us. Great editing skills and thank you for including all the soothing sounds of the nature. Totally amazing and inspiring. A great escape from the city life, all the nonsense, all the stress with people who treat others not nicely, but here in the nature teach each other to live with respect in having what we value the most. The warmth from the log fire, hearing the sound of the fireplace have been soothing healing in our souls. Thank you for the little minds of the escape time through watching your precious film of your big project with father and the son in 2021. The rest of the world have been striving with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic viruses since January 2020, and here you both are doing meaningful life project in now 2021 for completing the log house within some days in realizing all these cozy place. I see, the only the windows like the source of light could have some improvements and to have the options to "be able to change the room's air". I don't know technically how such improvements can be made by using the materials from the mother nature surround us. I really enjoyed watching you both in actions. 🎬 Oh yes, thanks for film taking camera men, and I believe the two wives must have been recording this videos. Or? Was it the only men's action project stuffs? 😍❤👍
Outstanding...
Thanks for sharing the knowledge...
Masterful Works of Art ✌️
You guys have some serious skills!! I know part of it is working how how they did it as you go along but those houses came out looking amazing and I would happily sleep in one in any weather! 👍👍
All I can say is wow!...I love anything to do with nature and camping,anyone else feel like building a village like this and get away from technology taking back our freedom and learning to live with nature again,I for one could happily do it right now!...anyone up for building off grid?..😁...no joke anyone tired of paying Bill's just to live nowadays,life is for living free not tied down by your job 9 to 5 everyday...get out there and start really living!...peace, love, light and respect to you all!....stay strong....stay positive always...and protect your loved ones..be PREPARED AT ALL TIMES!..🙂✌❤🤜
Wow, this is amazing! Your craftsmanship and dedication are incredible. And the cooking too! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. We can all learn so much from it. 👍
OMG I JUST GOT ONE THING TO SAY TO YOU ALL AMAZING GUYS I JUST LOVE WATCHING YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS AND YOU GUYS REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING STAY SAFE OUTTHERE AND BLESSED
Wow awesome! I watched every minute of it.
Wish i had a dad like yours growing up
I would love to spend a weekend there. 💖 Good work guys
This is totally awesome guys.
It's a helluva lot more work to do this by hand than people think.
Manual labor, basic hand tools, and some basic knowledge goes a long ways.
It's amazing to see all the builds in one hit its nice to remember and see the hard work that went into them
What a great compilation! I've watched all these by themselves but it was really cool to see them this way 💜💜
Coming home and watching your videos really helps a ton with my anxiety. Thanks so much for all the time and effort you put into your channel, your videos do wonders for busy fellas like me🙏🏻
Glad to help
Amazing, Brilliant work!👍
You are so lucky to have friends and family to help you do these things. I'm really envious, I hope to do similar projects at some point.
Incrível,inspirador...
Parabéns 🇧🇷
Absolutely amazing!
You guys are bushcraft rockstars! Just subscribed and I look forward to more videos! Thank you!
Peace
Truly awesome to watch as always - thank you for your skill in craftsmanship
Excellent... Brilliant job.. 👏👏👏👏👏 I love it.. Shout out from Ireland 🇮🇪
