This is essentially the same type of bed my great grandparents described as common in Southern Appalachia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Thank you. Yes, there are so many misconceptions about the Medieval period; that people lived in poor conditions with crude skills and equipment. But this was very rarely the case, the Medieval period was filled with art, highly developed skills and masterly crafted artefacts.

Many years ago, I spent the night in a sort of Portuguese “Agriturismo” B&B . This was found for us by the local policeman, as tourists weren’t supposed to be left to Rome about the countryside at night !(we had our car, but had not been able to find a room anywhere.) The bed although rather noisy and rustling, was very comfortable. It was almost identical to the one shown, though the “ mattress” was a big bag stuffed with corn stalks. I was awoken in the morning by the cockerel roosting on the rafters above the end of the bed! I might add that the room, and the bed, in spite of the cock, were both spotless.

Good job. This gives us a good idea of what it meant for a large part of the European population to go from life in Roman villas, with aqueducts, sewers, stone houses and roads, back to wooden and straw huts. A setback of a thousand years in just a couple of generations.

@gesithasgewissa

Very true, although it wasn't necessarily a regression in terms of cultural knowledge or technologies, but perhaps largely due to the huge drop in population, meaning that most of these structures were not worth maintaining - particularly the aqueducts, sewers and roads! Stone buildings did continue in the form of churches.

This video got me to sub. My young daughter and I watched it to help get her to sleep. Not in a bad way of course. We talked about the techniques you used and tried to guess what each step would lend to the next. 12 minute later she's ready to start going to sleep. Good quality, clean editing, interesting subject - nicely done. I'd love to watch you just develop the pit house and immediately surrounding land as it would have been done. I'd also be fine with whatever shortcut you might find acceptable given time and manpower constraints. But that's just me :)

Great job on the bed and the video. Welcome to the mind boggling and aggravating world of continuous rope stretch. As someone that has been sleeping on a 1820 built rope bed for 20 plus years I can tell you. Rope that you are sleeping on has an physics defying ability to never finish stretching. All rope beds aspire to be hammocks. Personally, after several years I surrendered and cut a piece of 3/4 plywood to lay over the ropes ( lol haven’t had to use my rope wrench since ). Thanks again for your work producing these beautiful videos.

I imagine you have a lot more free time to figure this out when your only main job is to sow seeds in spring and havest them in Autumn. That's two whole seasons where there isn't much to do. And aside from tax, "You reap what you sow." One thing we forget is how much free time our ancestors had, which can be seen by how many social events were marked with celebration and festivities. It's only after industralization, we have this... Grinding lifestyle of spending over half of our waking hours working sowing seeds we will never reap, with only 2 rest days in a week, and then only a few weeks off throughout the year.

Rope beds were quite common here in the U.S. into the 20th century, but we used much thicker ropes. They were tightened by using a "Rope wrench" which slipped behind the holding knot. You pried the knot with the wrench to tension the rope, then temporarily stuck a tapered peg into the the hole where the knot is. This held the tension so you could loosen the knot and move it closer to the bed frame. The wrench was usually hung either on the bed frame itself or on the wall nearby.

Beautiful. So many of us understand the deep heart feeling you express of the simple beauty of a more difficult existence, with less glaring colour, less stuff. Best wishes--

вы хотите сказать, что эту землянку не затопило от первого серьёзного дождя? А костёр посреди дома с соломенной крышей это потрясающе! Что может пойти не так?!

It's survived a whole winter of heavy rain and indoor fires, and still going strong!

You deserve a lot more attention on this platform man. Great video. It's always nice to see men taking the time to build something with their own two hands.
