First Night in the Longhouse -Finishing Up the Bark Exterior

[@MySelfReliance]

It’s always a pleasure to spend some time with Doug. You’re thoughtful gifts appropriately adorn every room on the property.

[@miarosie]

He’s a good man. You’re lucky to call him your friend. A great group there with adorable dogs.

[@viper5625]

Great Group!! Watch all you guys!!

[@dougLinker]

aww -thx man

[@jaxsonariel2151]

I guess Im quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to watch new series online?

[@gordnoland9797]

LOL. I am so jealous... I need different friends!!!! Great stuff Doug. Thanks.

[@Mooshkie50able]

WOW! I waited a long time to see such good friends working together again. So nice to see! LOVE IT! And the pups get to play together it's so nice... :) You have such a kind heart Doug. You always think of others and put a smile on their face with the hand made gifts they will cherish and think of you, every time they look at the wood art you created for them. Sooooo COOL!

[@janethartwig774]

Carolyn Costain Doug is just the best that’s for sure. Such a tender and thoughtful heart.

[@CracklenPop]

Thank goodness you're out and about again, Mr. Doug. I love your outdoor adventures

[@janetwithers7427]

Doug, you are always so sweet to make a gift for Shawn and his cabin. Good to see Finn with her friend Cali. What a great team. The red bird was gorgeous. What a fine lodge to hang out in. The gang has their clubhouse :-) This is the 3rd video of the weekend I watched and they all had different perspectives and additions. :-) Great work Doug. and gang.

[@jaymaurer5557]

All my favorite bushcraft boys in one video...AWESOME bro, thank you for making this happen!

[@barbaramaria162]

What a great great surprise. Lovely vid ! You are a nice and hardworking guy. Shawn can be happy having you as a friend.

[@stevezeppieri]

Excellent work Doug. Love when you’re able to hang up at Shawn’s. That bark is phenomenal.

[@moragebbin5483]

great to see the outside of the Long House more or less finished and also to see you there; you were a great help and good to see all of you helping Shawn - he is lucky to have such friends. The feeing in the Long House in the evening was so cosy, inviting and warm; it is already a very special place .

[@denisduguay4895]

Doug it's nice to see you outside we are happy to see you helping out Shawn James with his longhouse you are doing a great job . another A+ video keep up the good work looking forward to your next adventure ..

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Mr Doug , And Shawn and the guys and hounds .

[@stephenwhittier6439]

Great video Doug. Nice gift for Shawn, thoughtful of you. Looks like you and Finn had a good time !

[@MarkVicars]

That is so cool! A fort for grown dudes!

[@ladyliberty417]

Love watching you guys do what you do/ Tho I’m a female homebody I have a son who loves bushcraft and is with you in spirit ❣️thanx Doug✌🏼

[@janethartwig774]

A delightful, educational, video from start to finish. What an amazing structure built by even more amazing gentlemen. Your videography is breathtaking, Doug. I love the housewarming gift you made. Greetings from California where it has been one hundred degrees but not many bugs.

[@Wordsnwood]

When you show the building at @17:45 It looks like it would disappear into the trees. I bet from 50-75 meters away this is pretty much invisible. Amazing how flexible the bark was at that time.

[@bertpullen6670]

Once again a wonderful video Doug. Entertaining and educational, exactly what I like watching. Two thumbs up to you and the guys. Finn would have been in Finn bliss with the two lovely girls to hang with. See you next video.

[@maryvasser7290]

So glad to see you guys finish the long house, it looks nice. What a pretty bird, thanks for sharing.

[@DaCheat100]

Doug is always “Bear”ing gifts.... really? Am I the only one that got that? Love it!

[@dougLinker]

lol

[@theulmanfamily5127]

Awwww! Another house warming gift. Doug was the first to give you 1 for the cabin! Wow, time is flying by. Seems like yesterday.

[@forgedinfire8137]

Very cool Doug. Like to hear you talking about what you were doing as opposed to Shawns mostly dubbed over perspective video. You are a fortunate person to have such good friends, and they are also just as fortunate to have you as one of their friends.

[@rickgreen9936]

6:06 look at that end grain, would love to see that slabbed. The bear with bark is cool, good one Doug, good vid too.

[@bonniemoore4056]

That’s a beautiful bird.

[@OldGoatintheWoods]

Awesome to see the Long House all Barked up! I'm pretty sure there were some actual barks that occurred too! ;) Real shame that the Ash tree is pretty much gone. That clip of you running off with some bark was funny!

[@virginiareid5336]

You still amaze me with your knowledge about the best way to skin the bark!

[@jodyreay733]

Ah Doug this is a great video ! The bird, the bird!!! You are always looking and finding in nature! Keep it up!

[@frederickmoller]

Thanks Doug, I really loved it, it was cool to see you guys together doing what you guys do best...Cheers man!

[@ronhart8857]

Thank you Doug, very nice job filming the installation of the bark on the long house! Love all you guys that helped Shawn on the long house project. It looks great. Be safe, God Bless everyone.

[@deborahhammond100]

Great to see you guys all together again. Nice job on the longhouse. That bark is amazing.

[@yellowdeer7163]

Ah, a Three Dog Night. Had to say it.

[@wolfridsson7239]

ok

[@Roarmeister2]

@@wolfridsson7239 They were a Rock group from the '60s and '70s. The rock group named after "how many dogs it takes to keep you warm on a severe Arctic night" And yeah yellowdeer beat me to it! 🐕🐕🐕

[@582tird]

Go in February, you'll have a real three dog night.

[@temperhollow7716]

I can't get over how clean the inner bark is and how pristine the trees are when peeled. Wood is a beautiful thing.

[@dennisthurman8161]

Hey guys good to see you all together again, when I seen Sean's video about help with the greenhouse the first guy I thought about was Ole Doug,he and you are both great craftsmen but if Doug and the boys are only doing the longhouse,good luck with that.i will be watching,thx.

[@lauramarti7548]

A great work project weekend with the guys!

[@HamsterLife_EnglishLearning]

I love these get togethers of you 4. It makes for more interesting video's most always. Great team work. Yummy food. You probably googled the blood red bird with black wings already. Here is what I found below. *Scarlet Tanagers* Basic Description. Male Scarlet Tanagers are among the most blindingly gorgeous birds in an eastern forest in summer, with blood-red bodies set off by jet-black wings and tail. They're also one of the most frustratingly hard to find as they stay high in the forest canopy singing rich, burry songs.

[@ladiogama7211]

It is wonderful to see how comfortable and quick you guys are at peeling and placing the bark now then at the beginning. Thank you for another great presentation.

[@4philipp]

Perfect timing, I just finished Shawns video

[@kevinfoley7704]

It's always a good video when you and Shawn James are together. Ted looked to be a great help. That looked like some tough work.

[@stevej5813]

I saw my first Scarlet Tanager about a month ago while out for a hike along the Grand river in Waterloo. Beautiful bird!

[@noocemiller6005]

Watching the longhouse get finished up by you guys was very satisfying! Glad you’re back in the outdoors, Doug!

[@diannmcdonald4949]

How lucky are you guys! Great friends and a fabulous spot to hang out together. I so enjoyed this video. It was wonderful to see real craftsmanship in the traditional way. I wish you all the best of times there and I hope you will make lasting memories to share with family.

[@kimperes5987]

Hi Doug, great video! It's nice to see both perspectives. 10:45 thanks for showing the closeup of the bare trunk. Beauty in the bark and the trunk. You guys are always respectful about the materials you use in your projects. Sure ❤ the bear plaque you gave Shawn from the borrowed material😊 20:15 funny seeing you try to rearrange your halo 😇

[@finpainter1]

long house holding up pretty good.

[@trishaharrison6183]

Awesome job everyone. You’s had it down pat for this one. Can’t wait to see the inside finished.

[@Aby7799]

That Bark peeling sound is so soothing to the senses... Much better than many asmr videos.

[@davidoyama9753]

It is very nice to see you all back at the longhouse and finish the barking roof roof haha ! Thanks Doug !

[@micheljean3715]

Very nice video Doug. Well done. Good to see you all together.

Greatly enjoyed this!! You guys make a great team!!

Looking Fantastic

[@nickbezanson3549]

Right on! Been looking forward to the continuation of this series!

[@catherinetalarski9249]

Your "dog ate the bear", was funny. Enjoyed your video. Thanks Doug, amazing coverage on what ya'll are doing.

[@claire_A-T]

I loved peeling Poplar trees in the spring..It's the smell that's so refreshing that you remember.

[@terrytharp6866]

What a fun video. The bark sheets are amazing on the long house. That bear stew looked yummy too.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Very cool to see the Long House progressing from just a bunch of logs and sticks to a full out homely house. Amazing how the indigenous people knew these skills and perfected them throughout the ages. There's so much to learn from them. Where did you learn about all these skills, needed to make a Long House, Doug?

[@harrygr218]

nothing like the feeling of completing a job and having something to enjoy

[@victoriagoble1610]

My husband and I enjoy your videos so much and are waiting patiently for a new one....😉

[@nellytalford7119]

As always love your videos ..but love whenever all of you get together...God bless you!!

[@tammaragill9347]

I love the bark being used! Especially since the beetles killed the trees. Happy they were put to good use.

[@douglasjaquays4820]

I think the four of you guys did a great job. We use bark for gable ends on cabins in North Carolina in the mountains and it looks great.

[@theodorecarlton5245]

Keep the good stuff coming thanks

[@lyleloomis3493]

Glad to see everyone back at the longhouse, I like the debarking tool you got . We had a homemade on made out of a pice of 6” wide sheet metal fastened to a hammer handle.worked good till our fathers saw what we were doing with it. We just striped bark off trees as far as we could reach, no cutting down oooppps.nice cardinal

[@booswalia]

Only city people think you need to replace a tree in the forest after you cut one down. They need to live in the woods for a while and watch how quickly it encroaches on your dwelling. It's like a slow moving tide that just keeps coming. Enjoyed this one, Doug. Thanks.

[@DeanJohnson67]

we come full circle as older adults! as kids most of us started with in the house tents from sheets, blankets, card board boxes etc. to be "our place" then we get a little older and upgrade to tree forts and then for a while we outgrow that sort of thing and purchase a ready made home only to feel that call to build something ourselves outdoors without all the amenities!

[@ruthiewrangler9864]

I had a Scarlet Tanager sitting on a pine tree branch the other day here in central Minnesota. It almost glowed on the dark green color. A wow moment for sure. Ash wood is so beautiful. They are dying fast here also. Enjoyed watching you all. Thanks Doug

[@janelloyd4332]

Another very interesting video ..love the way you guys and your dogs all get along so well...thanks for sharing your weekend in the longhouses with us..Be Safe..catch up with you next time

[@gadgetclerk1267]

A set of homemade birch bark canoes would look good by the longhouse, bet you guys could make them.

can't please everyone everytime

The bark peel is so satisfying

you are so thoughtful Doug !! really nice Watching you be so helpful and to give your time to others is a great legacy .. enjoy'd your canoe camping trip with young Joe -

[@ycb6537]

Ah, I thought you would do some lashing not nails ... just kidding. Great job, home away from home, and love watching your videos.

[@RobbieHilton97]

It's always good to have dogs around when you're playing with bark, they can speak the language.

[@wawaw9130]

cant wait to see the final interiors of the long house with more organise benches n flaten earth floors

[@area51ray]

So glad you guys were able to get back to finish the longhouse. I was concerned this pandemic was going to make us wait another year for that spring bark peeling window. Great Job Doug!

[@nicholastaylor3394]

Doug makes me happy! 😃

[@straubdavid9]

Loved the little bark bear .... very fitting that you used the bark from the Ash tree you absconded ~8^) Yep .... that debarking went quite well, with some very large and thick slabs. Glad to see you guys making good of a very bad situation. The Emerald Ash Borer has wreak havoc across North America. Ash is such a wonderful wood to make so many things .... fishing nets and snowshoes & a host of furniture are just a few of my favorites. Just like the Chestnut trees ... the Ash will be sorely missed. Very enjoyable vid Doug ... always a fun time when you guys gather to build, or to do your camping trips. Hopefully life can return to some semblance of order, and we all get our lives back. Take care and be safe.

[@RatdogDRB]

That's a weekend. Nice to have friends to share those times with, as well as the work. And, plenty of canine supervision to be had as well. Cap it off with some great food... what's NOT to enjoy?!? Lookin' good fellers.

I saw a Scarlet Taninger in my trees in Minneapolis about a month ago and thought I had identified it wrong, too. They aren't supposed to be even this far north. The longhouse looks great & thanks for educating people on how and why harvesting ash is not destroying nature!

[@pattiwhite9575]

We get the here in So Tx during migration time. I bet they got caught up in the tropical depression winds that went up north.

[@radagast6682]

I saw one a few years ago while fishing on Little Long Lake, in western Hennepin Co.

[@victorcastle1840]

With the warmer winters, birds a moving farther in their Northern range. Scarlet Taninger is one very beautiful bird. I am seeing more here in mid Illinois lately.

[@BaggieReg63]

Great video. Thanks Doug. Question - what would have been used to fix the bark to the framework back before nails were available?
