  • Building a medieval house in the woods, a 10 day bushcraft shelter. This is a full build video of the anglo saxon house with thatch roof that we built using simple hand tools. This medieval-era bushcraft camp was inspired by the anglo saxon "pit house". The saxons occupied Britain from the 5th to the 11th century. Many of their houses were built by digging a pit in the ground which would not only help to keep a consistent temperature in their homes throughout the year, but it would also mean that they needed less building materials to build the house upwards. We used simple hand tools: axe, saw, knife, pick axe, hand auger and drawknife to build this tiny house in the forest. I built this with my Dad in 10 days. See below for individual episodes of the Saxon House series where we talk about what we are doing and why.

    • @gayahithwen
      @gayahithwen 3 года назад +14

      Well, to start with, make sure your local schools teach crafts (woodworking, sewing, etc), as well as home economy. These are getting rapidly devalued in our education system (because some idiots are too focused on standardized test scores and grading on a curve), despite teaching many invaluable life skills (wood working, sewing, cooking, as well as the knowledge that *you can take care of yourself* ). If your local schools do cover those, also make sure orienteering is covered in PE (orienteering teaches how to navigate your surroundings with a map and a compass, which in turn will also demystify and make you way more comfortable being in the wild).
      If all that is covered, then start petitioning for them to run camp school periodically. I'm sure you can find someone like Mike here in your local(-ish) area who would be willing to come along and show some bushcrafting tricks.
      Unless you go to an extremely specialized school, you're probably not going to get bushcrafting on the curriculum. But the art of survival is many-faceted, and one of the most important aspects of it is this: confidence to keep trying. And in my experience, you need a hands-on subject to learn that properly. :-)

      yes but it's not that complicated. You need some kind of iron or steel and copper to start, but once you can make a basic electric generator (dc or ac) with transformer (if ac) then things get very easy, because you can generate high temperatures 3000 degrees c and over in a basic electric arc furnace, melt your wrought iron and make steel. You could also make hydrogen gas from water, heat it to over 1000 degrees c without oxygen and use it to reduce iron ore or iron ore powder, which you can then cool down, grind into a fine powder and separate the reduced iron metal particles from the sand and impurities with a simple electromagnet, then melt down the iron powder with an electric arc furnace or by just passing a high current (high amperage) AC voltage trough it and adding limestone as flux. Then add in iron ore or burned iron powder to lower the carbon content, cast the steel into a cube, heat it to over 1200 degrees c and beat flat with hammers, or a power hammer in order to change the grain structure. Let the steel plate cool down naturally and slowly, this will make the steel ductile, durable and soft. It should be almost as good as the mild steel that is used to make steel plate i beams, cars and angle iron industrially.

      If you want to learn this, start googling for bushcrafters / survivalists in your area. If you don't want to hit up random people out of the blue, try looking for local campgrounds or similar, sometimes they might host a class on survival skills. I know it's hard, I know getting in touch with people can be daunting as hell. I've been putting it off myself, despite having a yearning to get out there and BUILD SOMETHING after watching this channel. But. I promise you this - just researching what bushcrafters are based in your area is probably not going to hurt. Just googling for survivalist classes is not going to hurt. So at the very least, start doing some research. :-)

    This was incredibly relaxing. Living in a modern house of my own, there's always the lingering anxiety that something will break that I do not know how to repair and would be expensive to have someone else fix for me. This I understand. Those tools I can afford, those materials are abundant. The only extra things I would want would be fresh water access, a solar panel setup, a chicken coop and a plot for fruits and veggies. And retire to a life of occasional odd jobs and projects of passion. No debt, no ridiculous work weeks spent making someone else rich.

If you are referring to modern construction videos where it shows the white hard hat shirts discussing , pointing and waving drawings about, that's just for sending a message to the civilian that things are done "properly" :) when it comes to building granaries or stables (process is quite similar to this video .. or it was in post comunist Easter Europe , ) you don't really talk :) there is a small sense of instinct guiding you on top of agreeing before hand whats the plan :)
