100,000 lb of Stone COMING IN! ~ Iron Age Bushcraft Build (Ep.3)

[@3DPDK]

Thumbs up in appreciation for Thomas, a good natured, loyal mule. They have the intelligence of most of our dogs and "the good ones" have a similar desire to please their human companions. Thomas's day off should include a bunch of carrots, a feed bag of oats, and a vigorous, soothing brushing, all in a field overgrown with clover on the most beautiful spring Sunday imaginable.

[@johnwayne8178]

Everyone keeps saying get Thomas a bucket of carrots but I think you should plant him some Apple trees nearer your roundhouse

[@khaledadams4329]

I like how you guys capture the dynamics of 2 people trying to get along, on top of all the challenges you face. This is an important subject that I think a lot of people overlook, especially when both people have their own vision and skill set. You are both very impressive craftsmen, thanks for sharing.

[@tP-zr5df]

the real MVP is Thomas..

[@hawk2million]

Loving this series fellas. Thomas is a trooper!

[@aidansharples7751]

Thomas loves his job and pulls like a charger. If you teach lean as a separate command to pull he will not look twice at the boulders seen here. The advanced lesson is getting him to pre-load, stand still with tension on the load and shuffle his hind feet towards girth.

[@slippi2476]

How cool are working animals?! I don't think they get enough credit in our history; we would surely not be where we are today if not for them.

[@indragmail]

1 thousand years from now archaeologists will say your civilization still live in that round house until 21st centuries. Great work by the way.

[@mattbuntain4392]

Excellent time-lapse segments fellas! I haven't seen a bigger bushcraft project than this. Thomas is the MVP.

[@davidullom]

Yup, 24 minutes of my day just got better. Thanks so much for what you do for us. Your content and production have such a cathartic affect on my soul. You need to know how much positive energy you generate and the peaceful influence you bring to the world. Thank you.

[@dabbleonabike]

Big clap for Thomas! Great work lads, looking forward to seeing this come together.

[@shawndooley7778]

Eye, Thomas makes it look easy, I wonder if the material choice would be different if he wasn't there.

[@grennhald]

@@shawndooley7778 I think they just leave out the large rocks then.

[@shawnghart]

Love watching this. Having built a fair amount of stone walls and foundations the only thing that worries me is all the gaps in the small stones under the large ones. A good rain could wash some the soil into the gaps and make the wall unstable. I would use 2 to 1 dry clay and sand tamp it in the gaps. Or maybe take a sledge to some of the stones and crush it up and place in there as ballast.

[@DelugeQuebec]

Good call man

[@DanielDavies-StellularNebulla]

You sound like you know what you're talking about so I hope they take your advise 👍

[@mossoconnor4417]

How is soil being washed into the gaps any different to filling them with clay and sand?

[@rustymillington9646]

Because Clay is more stable than sand. Plus Clay can be manipulated to do what you need done with it and hardens up fast

[@kevjames4236]

@@mossoconnor4417 mixing sand and clay creates a substance called loam which holds moisture at a far greater rate than natural soils and won't wash away. It's perfect for dry stone walls and is often used when people are planting into stone walls due to it's structural integrity.

[@marktheboys]

Epic camera shots! I've never felt such strong emotions whilst watching two guys move rocks. Keep it up, boys!

[@garymucher9590]

I surely hope you guys are taking very good care of Thomas. He is the real trooper in this build. Make sure he is well fed and watered and let him rest when he wants to. Thumbs Up!

[@Scotty_Brigner]

Thomas is gonna be a brute of a mule when it's all said and done! He'll be picking up all the mares!

[@mdsign001]

I just watched 24 minutes of two guys hauling stone from one place to another and i don't really know why ... THAT'S how you make a video that deserves 10.000 likes!

[@gayahithwen]

I love the timelapse of you getting stones from the heap, because every time you go back and forth, I can see the little path starting to form more and more, and it's how paths/roads have always been made, but... it's just fun seeing it happen in a time lapse :)

[@ghdroi]

I'm loving this series. So peaceful and pleasant to watch. And Thomas is the best. Already in love with him and his chewing sounds!!

[@locksmithmuggle]

So much appreciation for horses. They have helped improve our lives so much. Thank you for your power!

[@quintonriley3468]

Such an awesome thing to see! Its hard to imagine people building everything in similar ways not too long ago. Animal and man power for thousands of years. Just over a hundred years ago we began using machines and now most people couldn't build anything without a machine. Great job so far guys!

[@MichaelRamak]

NOW it feels like Friday!

[@chrisrussell1800]

Going through the forests and landscapes that you guys film in, you can really see why people decided to settle, build and raise communities there. It's a beautiful place to be. Really wish we had places like that locally in Australia. Don't get me wrong, the Australian bush is beautiful. There is absolutely nothing like it in the world. But the forests just look so peaceful, calming and relaxing. Why can the 2 habitats exist within a 10km square area? It's a damn shame I have to visit Europe one day and see all this historic beauty for myself

[@shawndooley7778]

To be sure, there is no where in the world like Ireland.

[@SmoothGefixt]

We are very fortunate to have our camp in this nice piece of woodland. But most of Irish countryside is cultural landscape: fields with nice stone walls and the likes. Very little native woodland left here, unfortunately... most forests are spruce plantations these days.

[@forgedwilderness7990]

Wow just amazing. We stopped doing this stuff hundreds of years ago not because it was bad, it was because we got lazy but you guys are definitely not lazy you guys are amazing!!!

[@michaelsexton70]

although I've watched many of your videos in the past I'm a fairly new subscriber, I think this is the series that really brought it home for me. I really appreciate the work you guys do, it's amazing to watch and it reminds me of my childhood of building forts in the woods with my cousins. I miss those days, thanks for bringing them back to me.

[@SmoothGefixt]

That's nice to hear:)

[@TheVogensen]

You guys have stepped it up lately with the edits - and it is looking great

[@katjavanleeuwen6655]

Great bravo for Thomas for his endurance and also your greatness of building a celtic round house ~ which will stay for the next hunderts of years-

[@BeverleyW]

I am loving watching this come together. Such a great project and so much hard work, but worth it. Thomas is wonderful, such a lovely colour and sweet nature and he is working so hard too. Great work Julius and Dylan.

[@garyt6931]

I’m not one of those people that watch asmr but the rocks clacking together sounds so nice

[@Hondo782]

I love things like this it really gives you an idea of just how much work goes into a project like this . Imagine having to build this and provide food and everything else for your family . I can see why there might be multifamily dwellings , it just takes so much to build anything working by hand . Great job keep up the great work !!!

[@FirstStrikeSniper]

Most of the time i wish I was in your guys place....this is not one of those moments lol. Keep it up guys, lots of hard work ahead but it is extremely satisfying to see your guys camp start to come together!

[@MegaTheRatman]

Heck of a lot of back breaking work. So many would take on a project like this and barely get started and realize how hard it would be and quit. I get the sense that you guys planned it out, knew what you were up against and embraced the challenge and for that I applaud you!

[@jkocol]

Thank you so much for this. I have only watched a few of your videos but I really feel like I get a sense of the two of you and I love the camaraderie you both express, even when casting shade at each other. Like two brothers who grew up together, went off to war together and became even closer. It's a genuine treat. Thank you from Vancouver Island.

[@samkurtz7540]

Boys. The QUALITY! It never stops with you two. Ever upwards!

[@maryannhicks7829]

Thomas is adorable. He is so quick on his hooves.

[@Innes1million]

What a fantastic job! An interesting project, and the footage, music and editing are all spot-on. Love the contrast of slow, calm, sections and the time-lapse/ action shots. You should all be proud of the content you're producing :)

[@DeuceGenius]

i shall tune in again in 6 years and see how the progress is coming :)

[@diegoparga9324]

Still have not invented the wheel, I see.

[@charliem5332]

gym shoe I doubt the little pony agrees

[@kathleenwest1463]

Wheels would probably be a rougher go in uneven forest like that. It'd raise the center of gravity and make the load shift a lot more. Sledge seems the safer and smoother bet for the terrain.

[@RoseKB22]

A cart might sink and get stuck in the mossy ground though. The sled works pretty well imo

[@lewisleonard7200]

It is Irish

[@Sgtassburgler]

@@charliem5332 It will when a wheel gets stuck and it tries to pull with all its might, yet the cart won't move because a wheel is stuck.

[@DanielDavies-StellularNebulla]

This is such an awesome build folks! I think putting the extra effort in now to make the round house that much better is definitely worth it 👍👌 Can't wait for the next installment, keep it up!

[@jeffswett4579]

Im not sure if its been suggested already but if you cut some disk from a large log, drill holes in center then peg it into the sled then put a stopper peg in it'll have wheels and should be easier to pull as a cart instead of a sled. Great work guys keep it up!

[@TheFreudgonebad]

the way your camp just keeps evolving is so satisfying to see. Have you plans for building shelves into the inside of the drystane dyking? If youve got any big sedimentary rocks you might be able to split them into pretty functional stone shelves and make recesses for odds and ends, camera, candles...just a thought
