[@andershayes8498]

a trick : watch series at flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.

[@dennisterrell5036]

@Anders Hayes yup, have been using flixzone for years myself :D

[@Yaberdude]

I completely respect others right to freely dislike content. I just have a real hard time understanding why 200 + peeps have disliked this video? Is this a majority of "professional" builders or "scolastic" history perfectionist? Along with a healthy batch of lack luster "Nay Sayers"? I say bravo gentlemen! Most of us only dream of such things as we are consumed by life. I would also say bravo to the family aspect of the build. This I am sure speaks deeply to the root of how these endeavors were truly accomplished in the old days of toil!!! Bravo!!!

[@Gyallarhorn1]

Sometimes it's just editing that gets disliked. Maybe they disliked the lack of music or found it too boring and calm because they are used to flashier content. It's also possible that some vegan idiots were offendet that these guys cooked and ate meat.

[@supermoon1430]

Some people leave a dislike on every video they watch even if they like it idk why there just dicks

[@Shoog82]

Maybe because some people are here to watch a log cabin get built and not a god damn cooking show.

[@supermoon1430]

Shoog82 I take it you disliked. It’s part of his video dude it fits in with the bushcraft vibe but you can do as you please lol at least you have a reason to dislike the video

[@Mgrish001]

Corey Ritnour a video being disliked is technically a good thing, it means that his videos are being promoted by KZbin to a wider audience, some of whom would not like his stuff as much as those who stick around. But that also means new viewers!

[@blairgrossman8179]

Stuck inside from a nasty heat wave in VIrginia. Watching you build in silence in the cold is so refreshing and relaxing. Can’t stop watching. As a chef I am also impressed with your campfire cookery. That calamari looked better than anything you get in a pub. The southern fried chicken looks mouthwatering. You Brits rock! This is binge worthy video!

[@connorkitchen5450]

Coming back from a 6 months deployment in Estonia to see this channel bursting with brilliant content. Done nothing but binge watch it all...

[@TAOutdoors]

Connor Kitchen thanks :)

[@MrX-or8sf]

What I really like about this is the fact that you guys hardly say a word. It really brings out the background noises such as the crackling fire, the birds, tools, and natural sounds. It makes the viewer feel like they are right there with you guys, or at least that how I feel... or maybe I'm just baked.

[@0623kaboom]

for your benches if you make another piece like the seat and dowel it to the back you get a backrest ... make a second set of holes to lay it flat and you turn one bench into 1 raised bed ... 4 dowels along the seam should be enough to support a back or body plus sleeping gear .... a good 4 benches and you can sit at 3 of them and use the 4th as a long table even .... this way every bench has more than one use possible and becomes very handy all around ..... a good thing to build would be a quick simple spoke shave bench as well ... makes dowels easy and comes in handy for all types of building needs

[@johannestejder4469]

[@appleyanimator6541]

I must say, your dad is an absolute unit. From the way he talks, how hard he works, his banter - Although my dad is great, you've got a real banger 'n' mash.

[@Andrea-tr1wm]

As a huge history nerd, these videos really excite me! The way that you just use what you've got, feels way more accurate than copying a past Vikings house (cause voyagers adapt to their surroundings). Also what your dad said about Vikings not eating with clean hands was kind of true, but fun fact! Actually the Vikings who settled in Britain were a lot more hygienic than the British(they'd go down to a river or water source and clean their faces, hair and beards often).

[@joystickricksherrell774]

From a southern boy, who is always exploring his European roots...thanks for what you are doing. The fried chicken looked perfect.

[@moslaf]

Hi Mike, I hope you consider adding some diagonal bracing between the A-frames to prevent what is known as "racking". It's a serious issue that could cause the whole frame to come down in the future. At the moment, there is not much lateral force on the front or back of the structure, but if you add gable end walls, then the wind could generate a force that pushes the A-frames and the ridge pole all in the same direction. The only thing to currently withstand that force is the earth around the bottom of the A-frame poles, which may not be enough. Despite how it may seem, having multiple A-frames in a row, each frame does NOT help the next one stand, even though they are connected with a ridge pole. This is because the connection point between each A-frame and the ridge pole is non-rigid (it can act as a hinge). This is known as racking. The diagonal bracing would just look like some poles in the shape of an x, under the shingles between each A-frame. It would not intrude into the space or take up any room, but it would dramatically strengthen your structure. In modern light frame construction, the anti-racking function of diagonal bracing is often served by rigid planes such as plywood, but since you won't have any in your building, please consider adding the cross-members.

[@TAOutdoors]

Patcheye thanks for the tip

[@manchu6005]

Sounds reasonable. I saw the devestation of front line winds wipe out the majority of a forest in Germany. The structure would be more sound with additional bracing.

[@zorroonmilkavitch1840]

Sounds like a man who built a couple of structures to live in I would listen to you if I were building something

Love your dad....cherish him, my dad got sick had a stroke and for years he was laid up, then as he wished he died several years ago, still missing him. But love him real good and don’t be afraid to tell him you love him. You don’t have to get all mushy about it just hey pop love ya and move on! Love your video’s on this house building Viking style. Awesome!!!!

[@lindascott8877]

My seventeen year old son and I absolutely love your videos. I have camped, fished, and hunted with him his whole life. Your vids have inspired us to build our own bushcraft camp this spring, a task we have yet to try. Keep up the great work!

[@kamsathsamreth7149]

I enjoy when u n your father do things together. Im a big fan of your pop. Lot of people dont do things like that any more. So sad. Family time is good. I love your videos. Very educational.

Looking forward to seeing the finished project on this but at the same time - take your time, I enjoy watching each video. Thanks for providing great content.

It's coming along nicely Mike. I had to laugh at your Dads comment:"You can't beat a bit of good bacteria". He's right. A bit of dirt is healthy:) Sandy

[@angelaabbs8337]

I have been enjoying your videos, and my hubby ask why i am watching. Well dear, they have alot of ideas.... hint hint... Now my hubby is watching them. He loves them. I have learned alot from these. Please, do not ever loose your sense of humor and realism. Love watching what Bushcraft has in store for cooking. I need to get a cast iron dutch oven. Love'd the roast chicken idea. Don't worry I watch Bushcraft too. I got hooked on this show because of the little cabin you did with your dad. Yes, your dad is the best. Just like mine. My dad has always been good at building without a building design. Thank you for sharing your videos.

I love this channel, when I was a kid me and my siblings would built really cool forts in the woods behind our house. We built this one that was so cool. It had windows, a door and and the whole things was made from sticks and moss. We would even have sleep overs in it. My mom and dad would bring us snacks and check on us from time to time. We had a little fire outside the fort and would roast marshmallows and tell ghost stories. So watching these videos always bring me back to my child hood when I was always hanging out in the woods. I can watch your videos for hours lol.

First of all, I want to thank you for somehow that your videos have reached me. Having said that, it's time to apologize for not knowing English and not understanding what you say during the viking house series. You will get two things with your new viewer the first was to get me stuck in this series I was already crazy hoping for a continuation and I was happy to see it and the second thing was to make me shame in the face and realize that I must learn other languages, I hope which is a good comment since I am using google translator. Thank you very much for bringing your content and you have won one more, one from far away, I am from São Paulo in Brazil. That more and more projects like this thank you again and that leave the next episodes soon

[@Dolko71]

Hi, and thanks for great videos. I have a little tip from Sweden. We have three sets of supports on the up side of the saw horse. The two on the ends, and then a set about a foot from one end. Then when you cut shorter pieces, you can still push against two supports when you are sawing! Makes it safer and easier! //Donald.

[@nicholasplamondon3991]

Having debarked a fair number of trees I would suggest flipping the draw knife over so that the flat back side is up facing you. It will make it a lot easier to take off the bark without damaging the wood.

Someone may or may have not already commented this. But, when you use the draw knife if you will skew it just a little bit one way or the other instead of pulling it perfectly straight back towards you with both hands being the same distance from your body it will slide through the wood much easier. Just a little tip to hopefully make things go easier. Love the videos Mike. Good to see you and your dad doing more stuff together. Cheers.
