Curly Fry over 250 on the previously pinned comment bro!

I just started watching this series and I'm excited about it. I understand what you guys mean about it being "Viking" without it being "historically" accurate. I think it's fabulous either way. It has honestly made me want to build one on our land. We have a lot of fallen trees that would be useful here too. Thanks for the inspiration.

Fell and strip your logs in the spring, when the sap is running under the bark. It peels off like a banana skin, and you can get the entire log's bark in one peice. You will get wet though. But so much easier.

That bark would be excellent for outdoor fires for heating as well. Resin burns for so long! Not sure about indoor use of it though.

I love Dad! What a ham! This is similar to something I've been toying with building in the woods near my house. I'm wanting to do some more authentic living history, and as I'm in America and can't just pop in to the local medieval castle to do a bit of reenacting for the weekend, I've thought I just need to build myself a hovel and go to it right here on my land. I might even convince some friends to come out a few times a year and camp with me or even build their own little hovels.

@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ I'm in east Tennessee. 18th century and Civil War living history aren't too hard to find around here, but as far as I'm aware, the only game in town for anything medieval is the SCA. I've been doing that for 16 years, but I'm wanting to change direction and get more authentic and immersive. So that's why I've been thinking about building some sort of shelter and playing in it. I've got some friends who are interested in doing more living history oriented things as well, so our best bet seems to be doing something on my property. Doesn't cost us anything, we don't have to answer to anyone's rules and regulations, and if the weather gets too awful, we can always retreat to the house. If we decide on what we're going to do and how we're going to do it--i.e. form a group--then we might start doing some public living history events aimed at either our time period or at history in general. There is one of each, that I know about, within a few hours' drive of here.

Actually, that wasn't much of a thing in the middle ages, especially in Britain; it was a 17th century and even early 18th century epidemic. Sometimes (maybe even most of the time) medieval women accused of "witchcraft" were actually on trial for real crimes, they just labeled them as "witchcraft." In Kilkenny, Ireland, there's a famous case of a 14th century woman (Alice Kittler, I think her name was) who poisoned three successive husbands. She and her female servant were put on trial, found guilty of witchcraft, and sentenced to burn at the stake. (Alice managed to flee before her execution and went into hiding, but her servant was executed.) Neither woman was accused of using magic or pacts with the Devil or anything like that; just of using poison. Poison was just something that was associated with witches, so poisoning = witchcraft. (Or maybe evil actions of women were associated with witches.) Even for regular crimes, like murder, lying under oath, treason, etc., burning at the stake was the preferred method of execution for women. For some reason, they didn't like hanging woman. (They didn't use counterweights and often didn't use long drops, so it might have been difficult to hang women. I seem to recall that Mary Saarat, who was hanged for Lincoln's murder, took longer to die than the men (and that was with a drop). The lighter the woman, the less weight she's got pulling on the noose, so the neck is less likely to break and it takes longer to strangle.)

Keri M. Peardon There are a handful of Medieval and Dark Age groups on the East and West coast that try to do this sort of thing right. I personally view the SCA as more of a LARP group than a living history one.

@kerim.peardon5551

5 жыл бұрын

I think LARP groups are more organized and focused, lol. I'm not sure if everyone in the SCA is playing the same game anymore. There are a lot of SCA people who are doing really good research and are really dressing the part. And then there are people who throw on a generic t-tunic over a pair of flannel pants (what my late husband termed "genericelts") and call it a day. I see more and more elements of living history showing up in the SCA, especially at larger events where there's less structure to the event and more room to be creative. I think, in the future, those folks will either carve out a niche where they do more of their own thing, or, more likely, they're going to break away and start forming more medieval-themed living history groups. There are already SCA people who have branched off into HEMA and Battle of the Nations and formed period hunting groups, etc. I think the SCA has lost the spirit in which it was founded, so it's going to be easier for people who reach a certain level of authenticity to move off into real living history.

I definitely prefer videos like these when people dont feel the need to talk. So nice to watch when its quiet background noise. Cut the chit chat fellas!

A sharp axe is a beautiful thing to behold.

Historically correct or not, it’s been great to watch so far and I’m definitely looking forward to more.

@@konradcavebear5311 Yes, Earth is all we have. For now, that is. And some people see that is all to it, like yourself (with respect, mate) But just because that is so, is it not possible that there is more to the "Iceberg" than you see? Is it not possible there could be something more?

It would be a harder life style, for sure. But it would be physically and mentaly beneficial for sure

Wow that brings back memories from 20 years ago when a couple of friends and I used an abandoned and overgrown military facility (huge area, only a bit of it actually used/build on) to look for earth hills, trees and pretty much everything else you could build some kind of small shelter from. It usually took us 2 or 3 weeks to build one up and as soon as it was done, we used it to make campfire bbq while looking for the next tree or hill or ruin we could turn into a shelter ... did it for around 3 years, none of them ever collapsed and as we stopped, we had build around 8 or 9 shelters of differing sizes and types. I'd say the most ingenius one was an old drainage trench, around 3 meters deep, we build a roof from tree logs, sealed it with some kind of basic plaster (muddy clay + gras/hay), filled the roundish excevate up with earth to flatten it out and used boards from 5 meter high doors from a machining hall to build actuall walls and a door, also sealed with that plaster. As the drainage trench wasn't even active anymore, we used that one as kind of a base of operation for future endevors :D

Even though I don't have any experience in building houses I'd love to be able to do something like this (or just help do it, for safety reasons) I love being outdoors and working with my hands. Always helped my dad with his little crafty projects since I was a little girl!

Linvin’ Good in the Woods ! Yeah ! Regards

can you do a video on what to bring for beginers like whatkinda axes saws etc love the vids btw

The only comment I could make, other than bravo Dad and good on ya lads for working for a dwelling, I love these style projects. Firstly, however, the Japanese are not the only prehistoric people to utilize fire to harden dry and preserve wood as Neanderthals made their spears in that fashion along with lots of repeat rub and burn. That bit was just for historical ba-blathering. I use this technique quite often for a variety of deep driven stakes or even for underside of log to earth setting, with one clear difference. You may find the difference well off for future projects, and that is, to have a large (depending on size of logs) bucket of sand on site. While the logs are still have the embers on thrust the fire end into the sand as deep as possible and then twist for a few minutes with slight downward pressure. Real hard downward thrust and then a few minutes of downward twist. I repeat the burn and sand a few times for longer period stays. This quickly hardens and preserves the wood well. I also like to rub local clay with a good amount of force using a flattened piece of wood of the same variety as the build on lastly to help add a layer of seal from earthy events. The foundation seems interesting, I would prefer using same size as possible logs in width about and also cutting a trough about a 1/4 depth down, Once the logs are then in place using a weighted log or long hammer to work along it's length to hammer down and compress the earth below until I hit about full length 1/3rd down. Pop it out, burn the underside which does take time even with two people and then give it a hard rub with sand, repeat one more time and then rub clay (local fresh is best) on the full length and ends of the half down side. Give it a good slather of clay and then press and hammer it down to place for a good fit snug and hug like. The last thing I can add, to make things a little easier when using guide posts. The posts should be two logs higher in length at least for the last log laid into it. You guys have a pretty decent height if only using those two logs down atop. However, you should drive the temporary stakes in at a slight angle, every so slight, both inside and outside bottoms to form a very narrow tall V shape. Find the spot that is two logs higher to three logs higher then where you wish to work the next log in. Using a length of rope tie using a cross figure eight cross loop going up making sure to use about 6 center crosses and keeping those subsequent six or seven wrap rises even, so the gap between then is pulling the post tops at that point the same width apart as to stake ends thrust into the ground. Then catty slide one end and hammer back the other end on short, or lift and guide thread the log through the posts below the crosses. Even when I build notch hold versus just long pole hold I prefer to use the rope tie method as a guide and stabilizer with sliding not dropping. For one it frees the second man free for lifting, and if alone allows for much better control and balance and thus a more even and solid rise on the layered log walls. If you are building up quite high (thus have already started with deeper more permanent posts) make sure to do a good raw twine bind between posts every few (for large) to several (for medium to slender) logs up. As you come higher, again for permanent and not just lay out posts, before you remove the cross eight bind guide and brace tie, make sure to tie the next cross eight above before loosening and at the same width apart again as the penetration width at the ground level. This will stop slips or pops side to side or up and down when the 'working eight' is removed. A note on the burn sand and clay. It would be better to do the whole ground log, and with the posts I like to go as much as 16 inches above the ground level. I also prefer at least that depth below, so the bottom 32 inches ""At Least" so better assure the least amount of potential rot over time as water levels are rarely predictable steady even in the desert. Hope that was not to much. GSW.
