Viking House with Grass Roof: Full Bushcraft Shelter Build with Hand Tools

[@TAOutdoors]

I was just about to do the first overnighter in this and then the lockdown came into effect! In the meantime here is the full build, I hope to get out and do an overnighter in this soon after the lockdown gets lifted! I hope you are all keeping safe. Cheers for watching

[@Joao-pv3lx]

Hey Mike do u remember me?

[@terrysadventure1529]

I Have a question for you, how long does it take y'all to build a cabin like that?? y'all have a great day God bless

[@Hodgie1]

thank you for the top class content mike... i fell around the floor crying with laughter when jack's stole your dad's hat through the roof... thank you both.. you are a little ray of light in these dark time's... so thank you and keep them coming.... stay safe out there!!!!!...

[@johnheckles8239]

You stay safe too buddy.. All the best to you, your dad and your family nd friends.. Scary times.. Thanks for the entertainment.. especially during this lockdown.. can’t wait to see the next build aswell as what happens inside the bunker 😯

[@joebiker8466]

You use twigs fer walls and logs fer a bed? Sum of Them twigs tied together like a raft would be springy and more comfortable . Use them logs to keep tha fire going cause I think its gonna be a long cold nite Cl;-(p)

My 5 year granddaughter was very touched when you moved the little tree! Kudos to you for making her happy!

Aww. Also pretty cool you are watching this video with your 5 year old granddaughter

[@pushkarajkakade4852]

Yeah. So cool! He cut a hundred other trees to save a little one

[@dick_richards]

Better watch that she doesn't become a victim of the 'green ideology' though Ma'am. They are pushing it upon the children from every angle.

[@asmallhick]

You... planted a tree. Thank you so for caring enough to rehome it. You've earned my respect

[@had2galsinthebooth]

He can also use it in the future. Beech is edible when used properly and can be pressed for oil. By moving it to the sun and rain he insures a future resource,plus,saves a tree.

These are designed to be satisfying, and it sure works for me. Sure, they're educational, but they're relaxing, satisfying. Every board fits, no nails bend, all logs are straight, all is cozy and warm. Their videos give an hour's escape away from frustration. Some people watch pimple popping, some watch chiropractors, I get relief from these guys. Absolutely love them. And these videos are very time consuming, labor intensive just to film.

[@themeanlesbeann]

There is something so soothing about watching TA build stuff. I could watch these videos all day.

[@leysin456]

The no talking and focus on sound and great editing for a full sensory experience is pure genius. Wouldn't be the same if some bearded dude was yammering on about what he was doing. Really special work.

[@trenae77]

I will say I like the Townsends build videos where they explain the processes they went through in learning how to do things, but that doesn’t negate the fact this format works beautifully for these videos.

[@sharkladyindisguise]

Oh my gosh when the dog stole the hat I about peed laughing. What a perfect lil example of a jack Russell. Absolute precious chaos gremlins lol

I think about grass roof shelters quite often. It is such ancient technology that could be so beneficial. Some places can't have grass yards, but a grass roof could be very nice in the cities.

[@arlenehiles2689]

Yes that would be amazing. I once lived in a building that had a walled in flat roof top garden with grass, posted plants, shrubs and even some big potted trees. It was for us residents to use. Had some garden tables, umbrellas and chairs too. Build in Barbecue etc. This was in the middle of a big city. Was really great.

Please understand that this is no offense, but I love the silent videos. Just the building and working. It is not that I do not want to her you talk, I enjoy this in other videos very much, but this is sooo soothing. I calms me down like nothing else. Keep the good stuff coming and belatet congrulations on your child, I will be a father too, in just a few months. I wish you and your family nothing but the best. (Sorry for poor grammar, I am a german and our school english is just ridiculously terrible :D )

[@rustygoddard]

I wish I lived in such an area. I am surrounded by farms, with very little in the way of woodland. You are truly rich to have so much to work with. Perhaps some day I shall have a plot like this. And I hope to still be healthy enough to build like this when I do.

[@Galriculus]

I got into bushcrafting since a year ago, right now I have to deal with some health issues that prevent me from going out in the woods, but man the itch is real. Thanks for these videos, great techniques, great editing, thanks for what you do!

What's up Mike? You and your dad is amazing. First of all, I like how you two get along, joke around, and generally have fun. I see the modified saw horse from the first build after you guys took the whole thing down. To think you got all that done with the left over lumber from the first build. Anyway, enough of me running my mouth. I'm going back to the video. Nice job you guys. Peace!!!!

[@AutodidactEngineer]

In both types of houses shown here, they would put small bundles of straw on the floor to keep it warm and to keep them off of the ground. They show it in the documentary series Secrets of the Castle. Historian Ruth Goodman had an idea about how they would lay it out around the fire, and how the smoke from the fire indoors would kill bugs in the roof.

Watching this one for a second time because it’s HOT here in Phoenix (it’s monsoon season here so it’s 100*f and 60+% humidity) and visions of rainy deciduous forests help cool me off :-). Phoenix is a pretty desert, but it is still a desert and I was raised in SW Ohio, much the same environment you’re in. Miss the Autumn colors and coolness.
