Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Here is a bushcraft skill which is over 300 years old and is still used in building houses today. It's called the thatching spar, and my friend Ben shows you how to use a special tool called a Billhook to help make a thatching spar. maxine: I had to laugh I was wondering how many of the spar's Ben broke before he got the knack of splitting the hazel so thin and what does he do He kindly did a couple to show how easy it was for the hazel to split at the wrong place Thanks Ben

It seems to me that a thatched roof would be highly flammable, was or is there a method to make them less flammable. With all the open fires back then burning wood etc inside and out you would think its a disaster waiting to happen.

Hi ive been watching for a while and i realize you haven t used s cool trick with food, learn to use chopstick because in the wilderness all you need is 2 sticks and you can eat without having to make a fork

Cool video Mike! It might be cool to put some trail camera's in your forest to get an idea of the wildlife that finds habitat in the TA Outdoors Forest! Would love to see such content

I love rivving, is very satifying. Works well with privot and willow aswell as hazel. You can make double the amount of woven fences with rivved sticks, and they look really nice

Why do folks cut timber for any reason from 12 ins to 3 ft above the floor it seems a waste of wood Is it laziness or is there a valid explanation

It is wonderful to know men still have the ability to craft and care for the land in ways that are not destructive nor demeaning to our Earth.

Why not score it once then run the blade though? Just tested it out in my yard and I achieved the same result in less then half the time.

Thank you for showing this. One of my great grandfathers was a master thatcher, so it interesting to see how he did his job.

Thank you for the continuing amazing videos. It is very exciting to see the traditional methods being used in this modern world.
