Building a Bushcraft Roundhouse - WHAT YOU DIDN'T SEE YET...!

[@SmoothGefixt]

Sorry that it has taken so long for the roundhouse Series to be back again! Building progress is going slower than hoped for, but by now we are a good bit into the roof build and have some episodes ready! So NEW EPISODES from Next Week Friday on EVERY FRIDAY at 3pm ET (US) / 8pm (UK) & 21.00u (Central Europe). Also big thanks to our Patreon Supporters: www.patreon.com/smoothgefixt .

[@donnyboon2896]

Yep. Good idea with the wild game camera. Maybe you should put up a sign. 1. It's a round house 2. Please don't urinate in our shed. 3. Please do not disturb our work, be thoughtful. And put your KZbin channel on the sign. Let them see what you are doing.

[@niallmcmahon5947]

good idea also say not to vandalise or disturb their work

[@wallball7442]

Agreed

[@OKBushcraft]

It's a shame it would take a sign to remind folks to treat others as they would expect to be treated. Especially the older folks. Noticed the kids had more respect.

[@JohnSmith1066-l5n]

and change the trail camera location

"Private property, git tae f***"

[@theun4giv3n]

It's a shame there are miserable people out there who can't appreciate the greatness of what you're accomplishing and the wonder you are bring to so many of us. Keep up the good work. I hope no-one trashes the roundhouse, it's awesome.

[@Dylangreat123]

There’s a lot of places in America and Canada where you can really go out into the wilderness where no one else goes, it’s sad this has happened to Ireland

[@synchc]

It's honestly quite soul destroying in England. The only public access forests left are few and far between and owned by the local council or forestry commission. No camping and certainly no fires. The national parks may as well be holy ground. I didn't know how bad it had got until I started hammock camping a few years back and got a trail and tracks ordnance survey map.

[@cyqry]

@@synchc There's no camping or fires allowed, for sure, but that doesn't stop folk. Most wild-campers/bushcrafters I watch actually do it on private property, with TA Outdoors suggesting you ask local farmers as they *usually* will say yes, or another bloke (forgot his name) who said you generally won't get noticed anyways so long as you follow the general rules most folk do of not leaving anything behind or taking anything that wasn't yours Obviously it IS illegal, but its a civil matter not a criminal one, the worst you're going to get if you're caught is a slap on the wrist and told to bugger off. Or if its private land, you can feign ignorance and ask the owner if you can stay there so long as you leave early morning. The rules really aren't *that* massively enforced, I find.

[@Lexamus11]

Curiosity Scheming : okay Vandalism Scheming : very not cool What's wrong with some people ?!

[@donnyboon2896]

I think they said, "here comes the family".

[@ytwos1]

I absolutely hate those people too. Probably just a few who cause such a lot of grievance, and for what, 30 seconds of “fun”.

[@theloneone8433]

You should make some medieval traps 🤣

[@primitivescott6712]

[@ballisticbee6001]

Were roundhouses build in medieval ages? Sorry if it is, I’m not to good at remembering the years for different eras. If they weren’t, whats the best trap they could do to stay with the roundhouse ages?

[@92Pyromaniac]

As satisfying as it would be, that's highly illegal

[@kefa1975]

Great to see the Irish Begrudgery alive and kicking! You should send the footage into the BBC! Would be great to hear David Attenborough do the voice over! 😂

I'm just glad those "schemers " didn't steal the game camera

[@belliott538]

Perhaps it's time to sneak over to the Little Farmers House and Trim a few Door Knobs... BOOP! BEEP! 😈

[@icebabysnocain]

The critter kam is a good idea. They are so busy skulking around they don't notice it. People cannot live and let live sometimes but I hope they don't do the work any damage. Include them in the show and we will witness it with you. Fun video . Peace.

[@normanshadow1]

Hahaha, you guys are great! Thanks for showing us what goes on behind the scenes. It's a lot more work than people realize

[@maxb482]

Very excited! Keep up the great work. You should leave your "visitors" information about your channel so they can learn what you're building!

[@gonota72]

i hope that when you finish the roundhouse that people will leave it alone.but if they do come for a visit then they can appreciate the hard work envolved!!

[@changarookitty6920]

Hi guys! Good to see you again! You know, after seeing repeats times of loosing a lot of your rocks off of the sled, I thought, what you need to do is add SIDES to the sled to hold the rocks on.

[@MrBrabbzy]

Haha, loved the spy cam sections. You should try putting some more up at different angles, catch some schemers red handed. See you next week!

[@morganclements271]

I love your videos guys. I look forward to the next one. Watching you makes me want to begin woodworking again.

[@robertspencer5219]

Glad you're back and everyone is healthy! Enjoying the series, glad the curious folks didn't cause too much harm.

[@cycletim1]

Nice to see a new video. Thanks for all the hard work putting these together for us to watch.

[@judechauhan6715]

"Junkies making child humour in the forest" is exactly what i'm here for.

[@liamisafireplace]

Glad to see some more content from this series

[@JorntWagenaar]

I heard the Irish where difficult to impress.. Not hard to imagine them being related to us Frysians. "Mei ik jo wat freechje? Dooche jo wol?" Fun to see some behind the scenes! I don't think anyone would mind one of these episodes in future seasons/projects! I sure wouldn't;)

[@johnscone7855]

I like the Style off this video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Fantastic as usual great work looking forward to the upcoming roundhouse video

[@natebell4764]

Thomas is the true star.

[@winterfire4545]

This made my day! You guys should get merch.I would definitely buy some.

[@ViewingChaos]

And I thought the vandals where bored teens with a saw-bladed knife- not two grown adults with a honest to god saw blade...

[@Nikki-ot7un]

Oh. I'm so sorry these awful people violated your ground and your space. I send hugs to all who work and love this place.

[@bluejay8722]

Great video, nice look behind the scenes. Interesting to see a bit of Thomas' training, seems like he's come a long way! Sad to see people treating the place and your work like that. You'd expect people to treat others' stuff with at least a little respect. Let's hope some of your visitors get interested in what you're doing there and learn a little something about hiistory and nature. Looking forward to next week for the roundhouse, seems exciting! Enuhh verder, boertjes blijven boertjes. Succes.

[@ArcaneGinger]

I have been binge watching this round house series.. I found your channel two days ago and have been hooked lol. This behind the scenes video was neat, aside from people being lame.

[@jamesjustus6568]

You lads need a gee pole for your sledge. Take it from an old dog musher it can come in handy maneuvering around obstacles on a narrow trail.

[@avonneave2131]

G,day fellas, I've been watching your production since the early days when you guys were heading out into the wilderness with scarce resources and showcasing methods of survival in the extreme weather and environment. Your recent work in the construction of the Celtic Roundhouse and using basic and traditional tools and methods has been also very interesting and with your characters as company in presence,a positive and joyous experience for myself, I'm sure many would agree. Sure would like to know how things are going, there has been mention of completion of the roof? But haven't had the pleasure of seeing your methods and progress. Looking forward to seeing your next edition. Hope all is well, all the best from here in West Australia.

[@MarkGardiner1976]

Fantastic video as ever. Thank you.

[@starvat]

i wonder why training of Thomas wasn`t sounded with Eye of tiger jingle (from Rocky)

[@michael.bombadil9984]

Very cool. It's always a lot of fun to see the 'behind the scenes' episodes, so I know I'm not the only one making an occasional mistake (:

[@FalkOutdoors]

Nice video. Didn't expect all that preparation. Would be nice if Boertje stops molesting your place. Keep up the good work💪

[@cyqry]

"Are they building a castle there?" Sounds like the poacher's trying to compliment your work there mate ;)

C'mon now, holidays over! Time to stop arsing about and get back into the hard work. It'll do you good. You know it will. And I'll be the judge of that from my armchair, thank you very muchly. Been dieing to see more, and this has been an unexpected bonus. Keep having fun while you do it. Cheers

Nosey people. Maybe put up signs. Possible no trespassing and or construction signs would deter the vandals. Any way good to see a new video . Hope you guys are well. 😁

[@mattg3971]

Did you ever get to confront the guy with the saw?

[@MrWildWales]

Interesting stuff to see the other parts going on

[@caslinden1373]

Are They in a public space or on private land?

[@SmoothGefixt]

It's private land, we have permission to use the land

[@caslinden1373]

@@SmoothGefixt then why are there so many people there?

[@px1690]

@@caslinden1373 chances are 9 out of 10 there is no fence.. and that's why 😑

[@cyqry]

@@caslinden1373 In the UK, most of the land is either privately owned or public access (meaning you can walk there). Aside from Scotland, there's actually very few places you can *legally* camp at, but you still get a lot of folk doing that anyways. Generally you won't get chased up for it, at worst you'll be told to toss off by the property owner, unless you've actually damaged something. I'm kind of curious though if you're able to get someone charged for damages if you have *permission* but don't own the actual land you've built on. Or would you need to get the land-owner to charge for you?

[@Micro-Worlds-Extraordinaire]

@@cyqry Either way if they did bring anything the guys did on that land to the police the land owner would become involved, if the land owner doesn't want to press charges nothing will come of it, it would only go ahead if the man or men themselves had person or property damaged by the guys or the land owner. Basically they're just moody and nosy without a leg to stand on.

[@derrickjones01]

so how will you combat these trespassers?

[@liamisafireplace]

Moat

[@aroniariz2708]

Uploading what they did. Is enough to tell them "Fuck off"

[@cyqry]

@@aroniariz2708 I think the kids will probably stop since they seem familiar with the fact these guys are KZbinrs, or at least assume they are. Probably won't be back. The poacher probably knows they do KZbin but doesn't watch, so he won't realise unless he's actively told he's been caught on camera. That one guy with the full moon, proooobably a one time occurrence since he showed his face on the cam. I second the moat idea, but you'll probably end up with folks pissing in that instead of the shed.

[@liamisafireplace]

*chanting* “piss moat piss moat piss moat piss moat piss moat”

[@BeverleyW]

This was a good episode and I like the way you used the leaves as a template for the spoons. You are getting very skilled with carving those. I'm sorry that people were messing with your site .. what is wrong with some people?

[@progaming8990]

Leave a sign up with your KZbin channel and say your being watched smile for the camera 🤣

[@pogostix6097]

"They come to watch us make child humor in the woods, that must be it..." I mean... yeah, partly XD Part of it is that I love bushcraft, and experimental archeology, but have health problems that prevent me from going outside most days; I'm allergic to almost all the plants and sunshine-- no really, sunshine makes an allergic rash on my skin-- and have chronic pain, so I can't exactly go hiking anymore. But a big part is definitely your senses of humor. Side note: I've never seen moss on trees where I live (Utah, one of the big square-shaped states of the west half of the USA, in the Mojave Desert, a.k.a. the middle of nowhere). You guys probably see more humidity in Ireland than I see all year, hahaha. It's so GREEN there...

[@ballisticbee6001]

I understand you on the Utah part!! I lived around Orem for my childhood, and while going camping by a river or fishing in man-made lakes it was as dry as can be! Now I live near the Puget Sound in Washington, and oh boy how much of a difference that made!!! Not mentioning the culture change I noticed moving up here (all I can say is mormons) but living near sea level and seeing moss grow in every crevice it can, it really made me realize how much of a desert Utah is!

[@edwardwonghaupepelutivrusk5189]

I said it before and I'll say it again; y'all need a sign. Those people coming around are curious and confused and mischievous. Your sign should say something like, "Ancient European Cultural Heritage and Research Center. Please be respectfull. Disturbing this sight will result in loss of invaluable data collection and historical preservation. Thank You for you assistance. If you would like to contribute to this important project and community monument please leave a donation in the provided receptacle" And then, like, a little coffee can where people can put money. (I know it's a lot to write) Make it a big sign... out of wood... with maybe a picture drawing of the intented outcome. Draw a little round house so people know what it will look like when it's done. Get the community involved and good things will happen. #carrots4thomas

[@melbolt65]

Good idea, a link to the KZbin channel may put the "they're going to burn this whole place down" guy at ease a bit to see they're not messin. Also, can Thomas have a patreon or carrot donation link? #carrots4thomas

[@Micro-Worlds-Extraordinaire]

I think keeping it short and sweet like "Here with knowledge and permission of the land owner" With the land owners contact details if they consent to any of them, like an email maybe for nosy folk to enquire to, and the youtube link clearly marked would be plenty

[@wallball7442]

Great vid lol screw them ppl messin up anything

[@krstnphil]

What about craftig a wooden label with your youtube Channel information on it, so the trespassers know whats going on?

[@Lexamus11]

do you post signs around your area stating your intentions? maybe a small blurb about your channel with a link would calm some of your nosey neighbors

Totally sucks that they'll come through and disrespect the hard work put forth. Don't know the privacy laws in Ireland, but here in the States showing their face would be legal and worth while. Might shame them into behaving properly. At least no real issues have been caused, well that we've seen anyways. But not sure why they'd cut away a foot of wood other than to mess with you guys. Hopefully behaving (for the most part) stays the habit. I'd put up a few more game cams, hidden better, just in case though. Thanks for the hard work both in building and in cinematography/editing for the videos and sharing it with us. Y'all are awesome.

" dont't build your house from stones, unless you have 12 sons " : exactly what I think when I go in the forests near my place, there are hundreds of ruins made of dry stones from - 4000 BC to 150 years ago ( iron age houses, and charcoal makers ones ) kilometers of walls from romans and middle age ( they probably got " free workers " though )
