I know.. but the youth of the U.K. and even Europe are absolutely not brought up that way anymore. And it happened soon.. I'd never thought that 'my kids ' (would be the 17 to 20 y. o. mark) would be like that but if I look around me.. they are as unhappy as can be! If they are bored out of their minds of their games and abused console's they go outside to kick off their boredom. Litteraly trashing stuff and it absolutely must be from somebody else. When I was young and another parent stood at the door because I had done something with my friends, their parents came at my door and wanted to talk to my parents and believe me.. We didn't have t.v. or gaming stuff on our rooms! If you had to stay in your room because I was grounded, the only thing that was entertaining was to watch outside your window! And the flipping neighbor asking me what I had done wrong this time.. And that was the most exciting thing that was! And that was for days on end. Nowadays a kid does something it should not do it gets a "don't do that, if I catch you doing it you will know it!" But the thing is... NOTHING happens!! Because it immidiatly is child abuse.. I can go on and on but I won't. Simply because it doesn't matter. It is a shame and yeah, I even feel ashamed of them! Trashing other man's work, time and yes: MONEY !! Edit: what I meant to say what I had done with my friends was calling other kids some names and such stuff.. Never in my life I have trashed, demolished anything, I was raised with a spanking so now and again or when I had a raging temper my head was stuck under cold water. And of course time in your room to think.

Never disrespect a camp. I was young out in the bush and the river current overtook me (in other words I was caught in a storm) I did break into a cabin and wrote the owners a message of sorry but I had to. I was freezing cold from wet. I did chop wood for them. I am stile very grateful for the cabin owners for helping me stay alive.

It used to be a time if you were stranded in the woods, you would replace and leave a bit more when you left. I remember using one once. I only used very little wood. I don't have much energy to cut more. I went home but I felt bad not been able to leave more cut wood. I went to the store in the city before hitting back to that location. This time, I took a huge bag of salt, flour, yeast, beans, and water bottles and hit back. Upon arrival I notice 2 people were there. They let me know they were the owners retiring there. I could see the veg garden. So I have them the items. They say....... Why? I told them about a time I went on my own and came upon the cabin. Andi did used their wood. All that couple said was....... O& yes, I remember seen less wood by the stove and not been replaced. But we notice a clean up was done including the windows. They were very kind accepting my items. And I felt better.

Sorry this happened. Definitely get some trail cams around that place. Set them higher on the tree to make them less noticeable.

All that history and hard work taught we viewers quite a bit. But the real core of your channel is the two of you together. Watching your Dad build that marvelous play house for your kids, the way you work and laugh together, so much wonderful content. And yeah, we have BBC America and do get Antiques Roadshow. I will hunt down that episode and check it out.

I can't believe it's been 5 years. So glad to have spent all that time following you and your woodland lifestyle.

Broke into a cabin as a young man because I was lost and freezing. Left a note, repaired what I could and left a ton of firewood. Got called by the owners a few weeks later. Asking if I was ok mostly. Offered to pay for the broken lock but they said not to worry.

On a very long trip through the Quetico in 1974 we came upon a well-built log cabin on one of the many small islands. It had six or so stacked bunk beds inside and a pantry stocked with canned goods to make meals. There was a fire pit outside and drinking water was the crystal-clear lake twenty yards away. Inside the cabin was a sign that welcomed whomever was there, offered them the use of the cabin and food as needed, and kindly asked to replace what they could or "trade in kind" if possible. The place was well-used and well-kept. That's Canada for you. And by the way, Canadians really and truly ARE the nicest people on earth. Much respect to my northern friends. I truly wish Diefenbaker hadn't scuttled the Avro Arrow and Canada had become the dominant superpower on the planet. We Americans were given the chance to lead and we really screwed it up.

I’m glad you guys are still having a great time! It’s all an adventure!

serious shame they trashed things so needlessly. might just be the old backpacker in me, but if i'd stumbled across it, i might use the fire pit, & spend a night in one of the houses, I would want to leave it in better shape than I found it: at least tidy up and clear the leaves back from the fire pit, straighten things up, restock the woodpile, etc. Mindless destruction like that is just so pointless.... About the Khukri's notch. It's a characteristic of that type of blade. The mark is a long tradition and carries a great deal of meaning. From a practical standpoint, it's a "drip point" to keep any blood from running down the blade onto the handle and make it slippery. On the spiritual side, it's the mark of their deity, as a reminder. They swear to never use these blades against women or children, or to slaughter cows.

And just today I finally signed the contract on my 2nd property, a small woodland, where hopefully soon I'll be able to build something similar 🥰

5 years already from the pallet cabin, time flies, sorry to see this happening One minor nitpick, the "blood groove" was used to make the weapon longer and stiffer with less material, although nowadays is just milled in most productions, no relation with bleeding an enemy

Really sorry to see this. I hope you rebuild and enjoy your cabin again. Stay strong gentleman 👍👍💪💪

I’m very sorry that this has happened, I also have a camp that me and my best friend have been building and going to for about 9 years now also south England and no one has ever found it (not that we know of) and for somthing like this to happen is my worst nightmare, I just don’t see the point in why people would do this, if you stumble upon a camp admire it for a minute and move on, to me it’s not just some wood and nails it’s hard graft in the winter, it’s a hobby and somthing I’m proud of so I can really understand how you guys feel and I’m sorry this has happened please keep up the good work and enjoy. Also on a side note your relationship together is amazing reminds me of how me and my dad were (unfortunately he passed when I was 17 but was my best friend) so to see you guys just gives me joy and brings back memories of being with him so thank you !

So sorry this happened. Glad you guys are ok and didn't have to have a confrontation with whoever did this. Love watching your channel. Be safe, both of you!

Heart breaks for you. You and, your dad put so much time and energy into building that place and you were so proud of what you both accomplished. I've been through similar situations and it was just kids looking for mischief. Never did catch them. Don't let them get you down. Keep doing what you do.

Also, the Fuller. Its not to let blood out, its to both lighten and strengthen the blade.

Love your Dad, so good to see your close relationship. People can be so rude

Good to see your dad is able to make light of the situation. Shows resilience. Hope all is not too difficult to fix for you guys. Some people are just idiots. Unfortunately, I think we'll probably see a lot more of this kind of thing in the future, as people have seemed to lose their sense of values and morals.

They lose that only because they're being allowed to. The solution is to not let them lose the values and morals of an adult without paying a high penalty for doing that. I preach and follow the mantra of "personal responsibility" and I believe you should get what you deserve, which will be whatever you make it be.

The fuller on a blade isn't actually to channel blood out of a target. It's made into the blade to widen a piece or metal and lighten it with out changing the strength of the blade. So you can make a bigger stronger blade out of less material. I believe the copper or brass that was soldered on the back of that knifes sheath was to add the belt loop. That type of knife doesn't normally have one, it's normally worn tucked into a belt or sash not worn attached to a belt.

A fuller also makes a blade more rigid, which is important for a thrusting weapon like a bayonet.

Glad your stove wasn't trashed , I've wanted 1 like it for my she shed, potting shed , since you first put it together and built a fire in it ! Prayers from Tennessee

It's a pity someone thought it was prudent to trash such a cool cabin, but you guys could easily repair the damage so that is good. You two are very funny together, enjoy your time together, because we never know when the time will come when one of you won't have the other. I miss my Dad very much and I relish the memories of projects we did together. I'm a new subscriber here and can't wait to start my day tomorrow with watching the video of your original pallet cabin. Watching from North Texas.

That shelter is already looking amazing, but the best thing is watching you and your father working together

Started watching your channel for your outdoor builds and almost immediately became a fan of your dad and his corny sense of humor. He reminds me a lot how my dad was. Sorry that you've had to deal with the vandals of your cabin. Look forward to your next video.

I bought a Camping Gaz mini lantern and single burner ultra lite stove in '98 . About 5 years later they stopped making or importing the butane canisters . I still have a few original canisters that I bought when I was told that was the last of them . Every once in a while I find some canisters at a garage sale or in a storage locker that I buy . Love that wood stove , I want one even if I never get to use it , lol .

Sorry about the state of your cabin. It was interesting to view your treasure. But most of all it was amazing and wonderful to see father and son enjoying the same things and time to laugh together.😃❤

Sorry this happened - I tune in for each new episode and thoroughly enjoy your Dad's and your interactions. Glad you have approached with a positive attitude. Agree there are steps you can take to secure your work, but if someone is determined enough they will do what they will do. Please let us know how we can continue to support you.

So sorry that this happened...Vandals seem to be at "work" everywhere. Yes, game/trail cameras seem like a good idea. Were you able to contact the local police? Even if they aren't able to do much now, at least this area will be on their "radar" for the future...Great to see you and your Father being together and enjoying your time together! Always enjoy your videos (and your Dad's, as well!)

Cops are USELESS

I miss doing things with my dad, we used to go on bicycle rides, camping trips in the mid 80s and 90s. I can't believe that cabin is 5 years old already, that is so cool that you and your father are such good friends.

I remember a man lost in the woods when I was in my 20's. He was missing over a week and came across a cabin and broke in. He was able to get a good night sleep and get his clothes dry and get his baring's. He got back and told what happen. The man apologized for breaking into the cabin. The man (that own the cabin) said he was glad he did and that being safe was what mattered. But to breaks stuff for no reason is sad.

What a shame! Having never been a drunken teenage brat I simply don't understand the destructive mentality. I really appreciate your reaction, I'd have a hard time getting to your positive frame of mind. Thank heavens more damage wasn't done. You're a totally awesome duo! Cheers!

Hell even as a teenager I wouldn't have done the dirty like this. I would have just enjoyed the cool place and replaced any wood I used.

It's not teenagers it's just awful people. 9/10 of the people there will have just been camping and drinking, it's probably just one or 2 people spoil it. Was like that when I was a bit younger

Hello to both of you ! I'm deeply sorry for what happened to the cabin...But it seems like you bear it well ! By the way, i'm French and that was really funny to see you try to understand the french notice !!! I hope you'll sort those things out ! Have a good day to both of you !

Saddest part is how calm and cool they were about it, mostly disappointed. The people who did this don't know how lovely the people they did this to are. Genuine integrity TA.

What's up fellas? You know it's a damm shame you can't have or build something nice without someone trashing it. I don't think I was the type of kid that would trash someones property for the fun of it. I had more respect! In todays world that could have been someones home. OK, now that I've got that off my chest; Once again, great video! I really like the way you guys work together as father and son. You act more like the high school buddies than father and son. I really love watching that. I'm glad to see you were able to patch things up a bit and sit down and still enjoy a meal together. As far as the fort is concerned, I just know you guys will put that back right back together as well. So good luck you guys. Peace!

this is a crappin shame !!!!! some people have absolutely NO respect not only for the great shelters you and dad built but the forest as a whole !!!!!!

I've had a similar experience, my small cabin was broken into by some young boys. thankfully though, I lived on the property at the time and I was actually able to catch them in the act.

I bought a backpack of yours today. Missed out last year. been checking the past month to see if they were sold out still. Got the email jumped right on it. Thank you for making the time to make them. I look forward to getting mine. Keep up the good work on the videos also.

While he was in college, my son and I realized that we wouldn't be able to spend much time together after he graduated. We did go on a hike together, we shared some meals together, some long trips in the truck, and working on his car. I now realize that that was the good stuff. Thanks for sharing your experience with us, especially the laughter and tall tales. A great legacy for your kids.
