Viking House: Full Bushcraft Shelter Build with Hand Tools | Vikings

[@TAOutdoors]

Watch all of our Historic Builds inspired by our Ancestors: kzbin.info/aero/PLxnadpeGdTxD9oAbeZcYKiGO7p3gIXmuZ Dark Ages: 476 AD - 1492 (Now more known as Early Medieval Age) Viking Age: 800 AD - 1066) The Dark Age is often referred to a particular period in Britain. We know it more now as the middle ages or early medieval age which encompasses the Viking Age. The reason it was called the Dark Ages was because once the Romans left Britain, it is said by scholars that society in Britain went backwards (also, there is little recorded from the history during that time) The Romans built solid buildings, bath houses, roads, sanitation etc. Once they left Britain we went back to basics, building from wood, timber frame etc. This project was inspired by the Vikings who once occupied a large chunk of England. They were resourceful people. The structure we built here is certainly not historically correct. But we did use natural materials that we found in the surrounding woodland. Making the foundation and the frame from straight cedar wood was relatively simple. We used traditional wood pegs to secure the A-Frame. The hard part was peeling the cedar bark for the roof. This involved days of work, and the conditions had to be right to peel the bark (wet weather helped). These trees were not cut down by us, but by the land owner as part of forest management. This meant that we had to be fast to get the bark of the trees whilst they were still relatively green. Any longer and the bark would have dried too much to peel off. We did not anticipate how much the bark would shrink to the roof when it dried. This meant that we were left with a lot of holes. Digging the viking longpit for the fire was also a difficult task. Clay, when wet, is very difficult to dig. However, when wet it is easier to mould and to shape, which made filling in the gaps between the rocks much easier. We probably should have added wood ash and straw to the mix to prevent it from cracking as much from the heat of the fire. Traditional viking houses were much larger than this (especially the famous viking longhouses). The vikings were incredibly resourceful, and that is where we gained the inspiration for this shelter. I hope you enjoy the video. Thank you for watching - Mike

And not the versions where people with bottomless wallets get all the lumber from a store they could want, and bring $600,000 worth of high end equipment to build a "cabin" on their already developed property 50 yards from their house that they call "bushcraft" or "homestead".

[@jordanhavins]

This is something I think about a lot. A lot of popular video games now, are basically just labor simulators. Chop down trees for logs, build planks, make walls, etc etc. Spending hours/days/weeks in these games where your character is leveling up their construction, herbalism, leatherworking; meanwhile you become more sedentary, depressed, weak. Granted, the time from chopping a tree down to building a wall in a game is way shorter than in real life, but its much more interesting in life than in the game. A lot of men today complain about how they cannot find relationships. A person will find you much more interesting, if you can build a hut in the woods, than a mansion in a video game.

[@auntiecarol]

@@jordanhavins Fair. But how many people have access to land like this? Leatherwok, though, that's doable in an urban environment, for sure. As is learning knots, how to sharpen a blade etc. I guess the key is just to do *something* with your hands other than smashing W-A-S-D, wiggling a game controller or reaching for a bong!

This film made me wonder what that primordial need is about. That's on the plus side of things. On the negative side, watching this made me feel the loneliness involved in such a venture. Is man meant to be alone - I don't think so. We need the company of others. Well, just something to think about and appreciate. Bravo for your self-sufficiency in the midst of nature.

[@returnoftheromans6726]

The need to go out and take care of ourselves. The need to build something, to look back at our handiwork and say, "yes, I made this. I built this with my two hands. This is mine to live in" has been with us ever since the beginning. And the need to also work as a tribe, to be with others. The Long House in particular is of Viking origin, but the Native Americans also had their own versions. Both had huge houses, built to house a large family, complete with beds and furs, and a fireplace. It was a place of gathering together under shelter and eating. All the necessary things of life were under those logs: food, water (for boiling food) fire (for cooking) and shelter.

One, they are close to potable water, they are close to fishing, snare or trapped game food sources, and they are close to natural building material, dry or dead wood, bark, sand and clay, shale, slate and particularly field stone, plus cattails. You do a particularly good job of showing the essential requirements for any primitive shelter. One, it must be dried in, that is a solid barrier against rain and wind. Hypothermia can kill you quick, particularly if low temperature (snow level) is accompanied by high winds. Second is your depiction of a central lined fire pit. That’s really accurate to nomadic shelters. As is the burnt ends of building poles. You’re doing excellent work. Keep it up.

[@GotMyTowel42]

what do you mean by "dried in"? thank you

[@nathanbedfordforrest9546]

The Viking tent was plain, practical, and brilliant. Tent frames were discovered on a buried, ninth-century Viking ship in Gokstad in Sandar, Sandefjord, Vestfold, Norway.The bottoms of a pair of crossed beams were inserted in each of two ends of a square wooden platform. Then, a pole was run through each pair of beams near their tops. Next, a rectangular piece of material 5 meters (17 ft) long by 4 meters (14 ft) wide was draped across the pole and its ends were secured to the other two sides of the platform.[10]The 3-meter-tall (11 ft) tent could be set up in minutes, and it provided its users with a dry shelter with a wooden floor. There was even a decorative element in the four dragons’ heads carved into the tops of the support beams, two of which looked one way while their companions gazed in the opposite direction.

Nice little house, I have some suggestions though. You should check the drainage of the rainwater, especially on the top. The way you build it, it wont stand a regular rain and water will leak into the house. The chimine requires also to be covered from the rain and have holes on the top sides to let the smoke out. The walls should be covered with mud, this way you can stop the snakes and insects from getting in and you will keep the house warm. Remember, if you let water in, it can take several days to dry the floor (your bed included). Note: I learned this from Native American Nahua traditional house builders. Their constructions are very cool, they build their homes on the cost as well as the mountains. Houses build by the beach can even withstand floods from up to 1.5m (5ft) high and remain relatively dry and stable if they are build on wood posts.

[@jamig.7254]

I also thought that they would mud brick it. I actually made a mud brick hut of about the same size. All I used was palm fronds & their stalks, string and mud. Two years later, still standing brilliantly on the sand. It was great fun building it. Although, the thorns from the date palms hurt like the dickens!

EXCELLENT BUILD MEN! These types of skills used to be taught to all young boys, (And girls watched and helped!) in the past, but sadly disappeared because of modern lifestyle changes. Today, it is only kept alive by good men like you who still see the value. Again, great job and thanks for posting!

[@audilol9845]

Well yes but actually no. Times have changed so not all old ways need to still be continued. Nothing bad with this but build houses with different materials and in different ways so in a way we are learning the NEW old ways. Not picking a fight, just saying.

I commented before that now as an old woman I remember my childhood in Dorset building all sorts of camps and dens with my brothers. I know we don’t need these skills but they are useful. I repaired my back gate using things I learnt as a child, I can also repair my clothes, again not needed but useful.

BTW the money I made afforded me the money and time to go to college

[@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3]

everything was quite nice, except the wattle fencing they put up, that was a bit lazy. Didn't look very nice and really didn't serve any purpose. Would have been nice to see them properly fill in all the cracks with clay or something to make it a bit more insulated. Cant imagine that fire would keep it warm in the winter with that much draft. Plus, that roof, needed a lot more layers than one to keep out any rain. Come on.

Exactly

[@queerlibtardhippie9357]

No they shouldn't. These are very useful skills, but this is 2020 and there are more important things to learn. Most people won't need to know how to build a house ever in their lifetimes. It should be a really pushed elective, though.

That's the sign of a really good boy when he doesn't take food off the table. @47:50 and sits and waits. He looks very similar to my dog with the same color, demeanor and temperament. Mine is a mixed breed but I've discovered that he looks like a breed called a Black Mouth Cur. My dog is just about 12 years old but he still has a lot of puppy left in him and does the same thing around food but has never, ever, ever taken any food off the table or out of anybody's hands. He is a real gentleman and such a good boy and his name is Simba but lately I call him "Saint Simba." I have been complemented about how well behaved he is and I have to tell people that I really didn't have to do anything that he was like this from when he was a puppy; he was always pretty good at listening and if anything he trained me I didn't train him.
