Iron Age Roundhouse: 12 Day Bushcraft Shelter with Hand Tools | Full Build
Ойын-сауық
Building a medieval roundhouse from the iron age in 12 days. This bushcraft shelter build took us 12 days to make with simple hand tools. It has a thatched roof and wattle and clay walls. This bushcraft camp was inspired by the ancient celts that occupied britain thousands of years ago. They lived in round dwellings generally made from wattle and daub and a roof made from thatched water reed, long straw, sod or turf and heather. They had fire pits inside their houses where they would cook the food and the smoke would permeate through the roof of the thatch material, keeping the shelter warm and dry. We used simple hand tools for this build: axe, saw, knife, hand auger and drawknife to build this tiny house in the woods. This was a collaboration project with my friend Dustin from Bushcraft Tools. See a link to his channel below. Thank you for watching!

This is highlights of the Celtic Roundhouse build so far! Once lockdown in the U.K. lifts I’ll head back here to film an epic overnighter with Dustin. Working on a skills video for you guys which is a little different to the norm but I think you will enjoy it! Cheers for watching - Mike

Hi Mike. Lovely looking thing. Me and some friends are also building one in our woods in Staffordshire. Could you share a link of where you get the thatch from? I'm struggling to source it. Cheers and great vid as always.

I wasn't paying attention at the start so I had no idea what the title was. By the time I looked up you were building the same kind of hut you built last time. I thought "That's very odd" so I did what I should've done from the start and read the title. Great job again on how this turned out!

It must be so rewarding to work hard all day then eat such a great meal.
Just ran across your channel, and thus far have not been disappointed, after watching your viking build. Since discovering that I have some scandanavian DNA in me, along with Scotish, Irish, British, and German, I have become more intersted in the Dutch/viking side of my line, coming from my late father. I am an avid watcher of the Old Time Team videos & Programs, and husband and I are supporters of the Current Time Team, so have some knowledge with the dates and the homes that different time periods had. Appreicate the hard work and your builds and videos. Great that some people in todays age can still preserve history and want to make things as did our ancestors did so long ago and keep some of that in present day. Thank you.

They probably scrubbed through it to get to the best part and "left the crust" you could say.. But it'd be better to watch it thru-and-thru to actually learn to do something cool
Finally, I was wondering when little Jaxx would show up.
JAXX !!!! What a joy to see you again !!! As I saw the other dog, I thought: Where is Jaxx? I have finally seen you. What a joy! Hey what's up??? How are you?? Happy? What a tent daddy is building huh !! Here we will go to have cocktails with background music, that will be when the house is ready, the chickens in the corral, the cow resting and someone velando for them. It's Okay, isn't it? How about? I don't know how to get there, Mike has to make me a map that I can go from my house! They say that women do not understand maps, but before ensuring that, you have to make sure that the maps are well done ... !!! But nothing can compare to your nose, right, Jaxx ?? neither with the mine !!! Well, tell dady I don't want any likes anymore. Does not matter. All the likes, for you. Thank you. I ♥️ 🐕.
Mike, I always think whatever shelter you're currently working on is my favorite. Then you go and build something else, lol! Wishing you and your family a sweet Valentine's Day. Hope your wife and daughter are doing well. 💟
Well done guys... I have my husband hooked...
A real treat watching you and your dogs work together. Can't believe you did in just 12 days!
So glad you started to include the food from the episodes, honestly some of my favorite parts
Great work! Excellent detail. Jax is my vote for next president!
Hi I've been waiting your adventure I'm one of your fan I enjoyed watching your doing well in your cool cabin ,I'm from Philippines keep it up, God blessed you and your family
Basically just by using the surrounding trees these guys create magic. When the snow goes away here in the northern part of Sweden I'm going to have a go at it.

Hello I'm from Philippines, I do camping and outdoor cooking! TA Outdoors videos like this one inspires me to do what I do now! More power.. 😊😊😊
Those Silky saws and draw knives are so handy. I'm glad that out iron age ancestors had them.
This is definitely my favorite one!!!! And you men can cook!!! Awsome
Not even a dog bark. That's amazing
I'd love to see you guys build a North American Longhouse using hand tools and timber framing. Alas - that would take a very long time with the time ya'll have spare to work on it...It would be something to see though.

Do you remember the guy's name that moved up to Alaska back in the 60or 70s I believe, who moved up there to get away, built this beautiful cabin all by hand by himself and stayed up there until his death awhile back completely living off the land? He had filmed it all with an old Kodak and either he or someone else made a film, probably on public broadcast I remember seeing it.

Richard Proenneke was his name after I looked it up, recorded it all on 8mm which I had typed but didn't know if was accurate, Twin Lakes Alaska, built the cabin by hand in '67 and lived there for 36yrs, film that he made was named "Alone in the Wilderness". I remember watching it when I was young, I'm 38 or 39 now, I have no idea lol. I'm going to see if it's on KZread now... great film if you haven't seen it, I suggest you check it out if you haven't.

I love the dog. He seems to say, "you build, I'll guard." Awesome skills and techniques guys
i like these videos because it doesn't feel like american manly man stuff this genuinely just feels like a couple dudes just straight vibin in the woods
This is so awesome and very inspiring. In a day and age when the Mainstream Media seems to report insanity at a constant rate, videos like this that show just how far you can get with simple workmanship and hard work become highly sought after. I love this channel so much.

Great achievement, there is still hope for mankind!
These videos with all doing and no speaking are incredibly peaceful, relaxing and interesting to watch. So different than most bushcraft youtube, in a good way.
Master at work REGARDS Ziggy Canada , good LUCK
So relaxing watching this
One of the most interesting videos I have seen. It was like magic, a solid shelter appears from nothing. Thanks for the shortest 40 minutes of film watching.
If the world ever gets into a form of isolation from technology then I'll 100% go to TA Outdoors and his pals, these building techniques are downright cool. :)

nice job preserving history guys.
Great video. I’ve always wanted to build one of these. Just one thing I noticed is that you guys cut your wood pegs off flush. But since green wood shrinks as it dries pegged joints can can get really loose and even fall apart. Personally I would make the pegs more tapered & leave them sticking out so you can hammer them in tighter later as needed. This technique is common in historical timber frame construction. 1 second ago
Fantastic . 👍
The iron age Celts were VERY lucky. All that soft wood. so easy to work with. Here in Australia , almost ALL our native timber is hard wood, with many being harder than oak. Axes are not much use here,(sigh) Here, your main tool is a saw. Love your video's, by the way. VERY informative and entertaining..
A joy to watch. Namaste 🙏

Oh. From uk? No snow ... ? The ground is even soft ! And, it does not even look cold either. We still have a completely frosen ground. And forest still with a lot of snow also. The house look great 👌👍 Thank you, regards from Norway 🇧🇻
wow Its very very god

Great video
I was taught bush craft by my big brother and dad in the 195”’s. It kept a kid who was HD busy. I was also taught underground forts for winter warmth with wood burning stove made out of small barrel . These guys are fun to watch never saw so much weaving great ideal. In Michigan we had the use of wild grape vine. Strong cord. 👍🤗
Most creative person I have ever seen Keep it up
amazing builders.....and can cook too....wow
wow you must be good friends ;loved to see you work together :)
Very nice dog 🐕
Nice sharp tools a must.
Love this! Blackening the posts to prevent rotting; the use of hand tools, the lack of voiceover so the viewer has to extrapolate information... Absolutely love it. I'd love to see you both build a glassworking kiln or an iron age smithy...
The both the peg-and-wedge construction and wooden straw staples are ingenious.
Imagine what these two and the Asian jungle underground guys could do
