The important thing is...you did it...you are learning and the satisfaction knowing you did both. Great job.

[@justaminuteie6586]

I really miss the colabs with you and Mike. The viking long house is still my favorite and is how I came to follow you both to begin with. Hoping you two get together again soon!

[@PaxPixie7]

The festival sounds excellent!

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Nice video Dustin 👍. YOU LEARN by Doing it 👌 . As life is a concept of learning curves, if it doesn't work. Then change , or try different ways. And eventually you find the way. 😊.

[@ALAL-ot8dj]

That was a pleasure to watch Thanks

[@endokin6484]

733 US! Like the cedar ridge idea, adds character, thanks again!

[@richardmacyczko1580]

It looks great and you have the satisfaction of doing it yourself. Total cost £668. Labor? Priceless. 👍

[@kingrafa3938]

Welcome back Dustin and Amber!

[@earlshaner4441]

Good morning from Syracuse NY USA brother from across the Pond

[@keithbonne5754]

That’s exciting news at the end. I’m gonna try to make it.

[@mathiaskoester4479]

No small feat my friend, love your channel and always enjoy your videos. Hope you and Amber are well! I’d say £713 for the roof. The festival sounds like a great time wish my wife and I could join, enjoy!

[@jackiec9062]

That was amazing. I love your channel and looked lovely to Luv from the UK 🇬🇧

[@markcox8762]

My guess is GBP642. Won't be able to make it to the Festival, but I hope everyone has a great time. Looking forward to seeing some videos of the fun.

[@ElementalcraftStudios]

I really wish I could go to the Wild in Us Festival, but alas, I am across the water.

[@bdctrans70]

Good job! My friend said it would have been easier to do it on your own if you used chicken or poultry-wired mesh. He said to roll the mesh length to your desired length on the ground and then lay a 4 to 6-inch layer of thatch on top of it. Then you can secure the thatch onto this mesh by weaving bailing twine, cordage, nylon rope, whichever you can get a continuous line of the weave. Then back weave a half a foot up from that line. This would secure it so you can lift the length of the mesh up to the rafters and secure it. Make other lengths of the thatch mesh and stagger them like shingles up to your ridge line. It may not be the traditional way, but you get even coverage, less waste and you achieve the desired look. You can go back and add more thatch over this if you bring help and apply it on top and secure it underneath like it is supposed to do, but now you have the wire mesh to secure it too. And once up, you will not see the wire mesh.

[@ArielleViking]

Just a wild guess, 327 pounds. I love the thatching idea for your logcabin and a cedar bark ridge sounds really kool, nice. 👍❤️

[@DianeHox]

Oh, the festival sounds great. Would love to attend, but cost and covid vaccine restrictions keep me in the USA. Hope it is a huge success! I think you spent over 500 American dollars' know the conversion rate.

[@steventooV1]

£395. Greetings from Alabama, USA. You’re saying it doesn’t look tidy but looks great to me! 😁

[@Q-BinTom]

Sound like a blasted, pray y’all have a great time. Turn it into a video👍🏻. My guess is $/£ 741.38….

[@hope4lifewalker739]

Just for this project, I would say about 300 Pounds?? That's without know more specifics like cost of materials or how big the roof is that you covering. Good to see you on screen again Doll. Hope you are doing well these days!! If things go well here, perhaps this year will be mine and Arielle's year to come visit!

[@ArielleViking]

@Hope4lifeWalker I certainly hope we can, Joslyn. I woke up to see a new Bushcrafttools video up which is awesome. ❤

[@richardshanks4279]

Great job and it is a learning process 👍

[@choppertcp1045]

I’m guessing $225. Thanks for sharing always great infotainment!

[@BraxxJuventa]

713 Pounds. 👍😁 Thanks for filming Dustin.

[@bernadetteevans2]

£795 Great job as well! I love your Bushcraft skills!

[@magicmurlo]

YOU are a madman for doing this by yourself! TA Outdoors just did a recap video on his channel and it did feature the thatch roof! My guess (by the way you introduced the contest) would be 875 Pounds. (weird, no pound symbol on an American keyboard) (but then again when would I ever really use it)

[@amirnaturalist]

Perfect 🔥

[@joanntucker2742]

Great job love your dog 😊👍🐕

[@paulliddle8008]

Life is all about learning mate. I'm gonna guess at £540 in materials. See you in July dude. 🔥👍🏻

[@artfairylcw6039]

Hey Dustin, it's looking good! Am gonna guess £799 😁 XX

[@bethgruenewald7463]

Love it!

[@dinahvaldez2485]

£950 its my guess just tryin ..i always watched all your videos i really love it💙a job well done its awesome..

[@kimmatura3564]

As a woman who doesn’t even own an axe or know how to do anything like this, I will guess $ 673.00 for the thatch. That is a complete guess!

[@shauncollins2998]

Hi Justin, great video, my guess would be £337 for the thatching materials.

[@toddwilliams6301]

Love the vids, mate! My guess is 435pounds. 😊

[@almadeckard8360]

Water reed £21 X est 30 bundles per side X2 =£1260, 2X67.20 for spars, and .25 of a bundle X£42.00 straight hazel ligers =Total £1478.00 Inflation prices. I am in the USA so it's a guess.

[@micksbackyardaquaponics1408]

That was amazing video clip you put together there off what you are doing there an I say it would be about $380 an keep up the amazing video clip there 👍👍

[@creativeprocessnet]

Hi Amber puppy!

[@pyeitme508]

Wow amazing 🤩

[@ArCamping57]

His knowledge is very useful, thanks for the knowledge, best regards from Indonesia..

[@DennithusAdventure]

Best in the business right here! My fav channel!!

[@TundeEszlari]

Great content.

[@SheenMr]

Great video. I think around £250

[@pgrange0]

£862 thatching a roof isnt cheap great vid

[@AdamSmith-pk9xf]

£420. Great video. Thank you

[@mandih9076]

I would guess your thatch gear cost £425 Festival looks like fun 🎉

[@phyllismulkey3778]

cool

[@kalbert7548]

oh my God- here in the states, I would’ve put a metal roof on. I’ve done a myriad of out bldgs - never a thatch roof. I give you much respect for what you’ve done here. Thatch & hand crafted wood slats & “staples”- I’d guess you spent at least the equivalent of $750 USD on that roof bc all your materials, from my American perspective, are craft/historical specialty items & all from “hand” manual labor.

[@davefallows9537]

Keep up with the good work and I think £950

[@marc-andrelahaie5197]

i'm thinking about 450pound but it really do a good job 👌

[@stevepratley]

Great video mate, lets go with £716 for the cost.

[@jeanetterochnowskis142]

I think you have done a great job even doing it by yourself. 135 pounds is my guess. 👍

[@bugeyednutburke4558]

Wow beautiful shelter I'm guessing about 675 pounds for the lot to thatch the shelter

[@juliemaddux9833]

£636 and great job on the thatching!

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid

[@TheKeltis]

Thanks for the video, good job. I think you spent 649 US dollars

[@24913299]

great vid, the cost was £782 exactly lol. keep up the great work.

[@heidipustelniak652]

The festival sounds wonderful! Wild guess on cost of the roof … 350.00. US dollars…

[@jimparsons9454]

Great video. I would say £850.

[@sebaldus5933]

Hey, I love you content 👍 always good to try something new. The Festival is a bit on short notice, but I plan to take a course with bushcrafttools next year. For the thatching material... My guess will be 786 pounds.

[@barrie1]

The third one on the sky bridge is your car breaking down. knowing that your pissing everyone off and the stress

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

I'd say $825 🤷‍♂️ Looking good Dustin 👍🏻

[@johnwessinger2395]

900 dlrs lol great job n video

[@rickseifert5139]

A wild guess would be close to £436.00 or even a bit more .

[@davethabushcrafter]

hmmm a game of the price is right, am usually crap at this but reckon you prob sneaked them spurs off mike :-) and did questionable favours for the reed etc. so am gonna take a conservative guess and say £270. Looks good with thatch on though, can't wait for the shindig woop woop

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

Justin that is great that you are having that festival! Kudos to you! USA

[@tennesseeterri]

In one of your short videos I saw a large drill bit that was used with a piece of wood as a handle. What is it called and where can I buy it. Thank you very much

[@choiceskateteam]

Where kind of auger are you using for the main structure? Can’t seem to find a decent one

[@danpalmer13]

Hey Dustin, good effort mate!! As you say its worth having a go... im going to guess at about £550 total cost for the thatch

[@JupiterLune]

£372. Wild guess!

[@bodgecrafterchris8946]

£565 total spend .. Nice little cabin that is

[@tomobrien9483]

Great job for only the second time doing it. My guess would be $987.00 US Dollars

[@danbonser7781]

£870 🤘🏼

[@kimbauer6666]

£752. I’m from Canada, so not used to pounds, but that’s my guess 😊

[@jamesellsworth9673]

And you thought THATCHING was difficult!🤔🤔 So: LET'S ORGANIZE A FESTIVAL!

[@parichard6540]

I know that water reed costs have gone way up since the war. They used to be about £4 a bundle, so I’m guessing it’s at least £10-12 per bundle. Let’s say you found a deal at £10. A bundle covers about a square foot of roof. The roof pitch on your cabin looks about 30-degrees, so I’m guessing the roof is about 22 +/- sq. meters (230 sq. ft.). Add 10% for waste and you need roughly 250 bundles. Hazel spars are about £60 per 100. Ash liggers are about £10 per 100. So, unless you’re connected with someone who gave you a deep discount, that roof cost about £2,595 in materials alone. Add £50 to keep you & your pup fed & libated.

[@mphunty]

Good effort. I think it could have easily cost around £625.

[@paulchapman1168]

I'm a thatcher. This was painful to watch. I'm willing to come and redo it for you. Where in the country are you

[@kristingrounds4163]

I would guess $400 US and I think that would be 322 in pounds

[@moosemanzz]

Looks great to me. I'll guess £450.

[@kirsiselei8703]

Wild guess from finland(of knowing any price of materials)is 485£

[@wilkodenbrinker7207]

€576👍

[@peterwarner280]

I think it cost you £726.00. Nice job by the way catch you on the next one.

[@kellywalsh9422]

Always love your videos.. your costs could be around 215 pounds...

[@jacksg1809]

£ 545 hi Dustin and Amber 😁

[@keptleroymg6877]

Who owns the land you are on?

[@johnbyrne642]

I reckon about £330.

[@dominicdevone2684]

Hmm. I don't really know how to convert the US dollar to British pounds but a guess between 3 and 4 hundred, just a guess...

[@raccie]

I’m guessing £800 👍

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

I think you spent about 250 on it all.

[@doozerakapuckfutin]

My guestimate is &579.50 . 😊

[@jvh1756]

I guess about 300 pounds of thatch.😂

[@stuartmangold595]

I'll guess 650 pounds, I've seen a few other videos covering thatching and they talked about how expensive it is to buy

[@theahalme]

Ehlow!!!! Been wanting/needing to learn thatch. We wouldnt care if you and the TA boys turned out total shite so long as we know youre all doing well! Amber you wise and beautiful girl, woof, shake 🍖 im so sorry , I dont know your monetary system so im guessing $138 us dollars.

[@ElementalcraftStudios]

It's roughly $1.25 for every 1 pound

[@doreebardes5537]

Well, you said you bought too much, so... not having a clue about what these go for (not too common on the ground in the US), i'd guess about 450 pounds.

[@margiebrown7436]

I’m guessing $243. U.S. dollars.

[@averagecamper4265]

547 is my guess

[@jakemcclellan8399]

I will guess $510.00 . Thank you Jake McClellan The Oregon Boy 👦

[@freddyoutdoors]

You bossed it for on your own I think it cost 967 pounds looks better with the thatch roof

[@grandadoutdoors5317]

I reckon £975 Dustin.

[@sharonallen-pote4781]

I'd say about 428.
