Building a Medieval House | 10 Day Bushcraft Shelter Build

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.

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. :-)

[@mattbanks3517]

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.

On the plus side if they lose the entire house then they can rebuild it with two men in another 10 days, maybe 3-4 if the entire family is involved, maybe 2-3 if the foundations are reasonably intact. There is a reason why medieval peasants didn't invest much into their buildings...

[@javidfarr556]

I especially agree with you. Kids in here in America have forgotten the traditions of the old and don’t value things such as this anymore. I wish there was a class or camp to go to that educated teens on how to do this. I hope my fellow students can agree with me

[@gayahithwen]

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. :-)

OMG!!!!!! I am in awe of you both. What an amazing video.THE SHELTER IS BEAUTIFUL. YOU WORKED SO SO HARD. I loved everything about from the wheelbarrow, the way you used the moss, how you made it weathertight, the thatched roof, THE SILENCE apart from the sounds of you both working, the wind through the trees. ALL OF IT!!!!!! I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF YOUR STORY. YOU DESERVED an OSCAR. TRULY !!!!!!!! WELL DONE TO YOU BOTH.

I used to strip logs like this for a small forestry product company as my first job when I was 14. I got 50 cents a log and usually did between 15 to 30 in a 4 hour period. It was a good first job and I will always remember it.

The build is awesome thatched roofs are so cozy and comforting. The build is just as beautiful as the ethereal scenery what an idealistic setting and environment to work and rest in. How fortunate the people are who dwell in a magical place such as this.

Anyone watching this might be interested to know there is an Iron Age village in South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 called Castell Henllys that has been recreated from the foundation’s of a pre-existing Iron Age hill fort. It’s definitely worth a visit if you get the chance.

[@davidrussell4104]

Gives me great respect for how hard our ancestors worked just to survive. Lots of work to notch & groove timber’s with just hand tools, plus debarking & shaping. How well does a thatched roof withstand rain? Looks to be the only possible weak link.
