How To Live In A Tent Mortgage Free 4

[@stacymorris8693]

About the barefoot thing while working with hot metal. Dad always told me I’d better be tough if I was going to be stupid.

Sending love and concern from South Africa ... the ever increasing rate of collapse of what use to be such a respectable nation is of deep concern. I never thought that as a African - I would be offering up a helping hand to our neighbour's across the pond. BUT your country does not deserve or respect you. Africa is far from perfect but one element that sets us apart from our American and Euro brothers is our ability to stand by our morals and principles. You will always have a home in Africa. Lots of love and care - Mzanazi Africa

One your best episodes yet Cody. Learning and laughter. Powerful combo there. I’m loving the outdoor series you’re doing at the moment. Blessings from New Zealand

[@Lochlann13]

Cody - thanks for your vulnerability when posting things like this. I really appreciate seeing that others struggle with these things as well. So many times, we see creators post the perfectly edited, final product videos, and it's so easy to feel like you're the only one making mistakes. The honesty here is refreshing.

Thank you sir for doin what you do. We appreciate you and love ya Cody!

[@andrewcoates6641]

Just a suggestion for you Cody, if you take a piece of sheet metal either steel or aluminium and form it around a log end to make a heat shield to hang behind the lantern by putting an appropriate sized hole in one end, then linish the inside of the curve to a high polished finish, you will have a heat reflecting shield between the heat of the lantern and the tent cloth, that will also push more light into the area that you want the light to be brightest. If the hole that it is hung from is oversized and you arrange a cord to tie the bottom edge upwards and backwards away from the lantern it should spill the light down into the area beneath the lantern which would otherwise be in the shadow of the lantern’s tank. If you make a few to fit all of your lanterns they will stack together for storage and transportation purposes.

[@markhowards420]

Great minds think alike , when Cody was trimming the steel so it wouldn't pierce the canvas , I thought a heat shield and reflector in 1 would be an upgrade that could do for a video in the near future .

[@clintgosch2306]

Learning by doing is the best way to learn, and you seem to be doing just fine my friend! Very interesting video series!

[@wiggledytoes]

Very nice. Looking forward to seeing this tent in all seasons. At the risk of being a safety sally, is there something that can be fashioned to dull the end of the hook, ive seen facial accidents happen when people reaching down to pick something else up.

[@vipelink]

This one got me, it’s just so darn practical.

[@SunsetValleyRanch]

Just a tip about the Hardy Hole (the square hole in the top of the anvil where you put the cutting die (the round one is called a Pritchel Hole)): The tools you use in the Hardy Hole should fit snugly, but rest on the face of the anvil and be loose enough to pull out by hand or with tongs. Believe me, you don't want to get a tool stuck in there. As you learn more, you'll understand why I'm saying that. If I were you, I'd check the bore in that Hardy Hole. Over time, especially with an anvil that old, they get full of crud and will hold tools up off of the face of the anvil. You might try a piece of scrap steel with a sharp-ish edge and scrape the inside of the hole, or maybe a square file might work. I've only ever had to dress one up once in my life to get a spring die to fit properly (not my anvil, I was showing someone else how to do something and they had an old anvil with a cruddy Hardy Hole). Good work for a newbie! Functionality over appearance every time!

[@torresbryan]

great content sir! Cant wait to buy a home and be a ProHo myself. God bless!

[@erikochmyself]

I love this, not afraid of showing the learning process. Got a good laugh:)

[@andriimarchuk9649]

It was such a joy to look at the process. I think it tells somebody about the inner person. All those fancy things does not give you the same feeling as creating something by your hand in your homestead.

[@mattjohnson891]

It was fun watching someone working something out for themselves for the first time. It motivates me to go and out try out new things myself! Really enjoying the series all the way from Scotland.

What a title, Cody.. you are a genius.. I love how you are not afraid of contrasting house with/without morgage vs tent without morgage. A good tent is still a wonderful thing and peace in the heart is more important than a a house. Healthy body and a safe tent with good amenities is everything a wise person could wish. People need to get back to the basics. They don't know what is good in life and they don't know what they want, therefore. Peace, my brother.

[@IraDuncan]

Excellent work, as always, Cody. Admittedly I was wrong when I thought you'd want the additional material before you cut it to length for the hook. I figured it would be easier to form the hook with the additional material for leverage. I am glad I was wrong. I also learned something new today with the wax coating and I see its benefits. Thank you very much and Godspeed as always.

It takes years of being hurt by dishonesty; our own and of others , to get to where just saying truth and keeping it honest and pure is all that you want. You keep company with with real men and real men will keep you honest.

[@AverageCarGuy]

One of the best things you do in the video is show all the mistakes, goofs, and failed attempts. People need to learn that even very experienced men make mistakes and don't get it perfect on the first try. Often I find young people give up on something after the first try, throw up their hands and just exclaim they don't know how to do it. It's because they've always just been shown perfection. No one on KZbin shows their mistakes, they edit all that out. But they're doing the viewer a disservice. Thanks for keeping it pure and showing the whole thing.

[@blackbeardsdelight]

About barefooting: Last weekend as I was working at my cottage I stepped on a nail with my full body weight BUT luckily I happened to wear my safety shoes which had the nail protection. The nail crunched right through the sole but stopped at the metal mesh after that.

[@streakerofevil]

Great job! Helix bends are the hardest to get right on the first attempt. Square stock grips better on round tubing/ rods and is easily decorated with twists. Quench your ends and leave the center of your piece hot for twisting. Try to work your metal in the orange to light yellow heat range to keep scale formation to a minimum.
