Another great video. Around here (Indiana, USA) right now the leaves are turning a little late; it's been rather warm here, warmer than normal, so things are just within the past week starting to change a bit. Some of the hard (black or Norwegian) maples are beginning to change now, but a month or more ago the hackberry trees were starting to drop leaves, and the black walnuts were starting after them. Within the past couple days the sassafras trees around my house were turning red and gold in spots. The hickory should be turning soon, and, as you say, the oak will be last. The acorn crop this year has been bumper; a neighbor of mine with about a dozen in his front yard says he's never seen so many (he has red and white oak. I told him to gather all of them and dump them in the woods about 10-15 yards south of his property line where I have permission to hunt lol. hello, Bambi's dad. LOLBTW using an old toilet brush shouldn't be a problem, given that ten minutes after the fire is started in the stove, anything in the pipes would be burned out. When the settlers on the American prairie were heading west, they'd use buffalo chips to cook and stay warm, so a used toilet brush should be low on your priority list of things to worry about; -) I'd like to say the seat in your pack is brilliant. Love that idea. You were giving a review of the backpack and you said Steuben is Swedish for stump. I tried looking up what it meant on Google and was directed to an online translation site which told me nothing about what it meant. Steuben (or Von Steuben) was a Prussian born general in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. He trained the American troops to fight the British Army and wrote the drill and training manual for the Continental Army. There are a number of places named for him here. FyallRaven makes good good stuff. There's a backpack that I found at Barnes and Noble book store here. It's for kids so it's fairly small, but the pack is 95. Yikes. Anyway, have a great day and thanks again for the video.

For me, relocating the 'cabin' in a simpler form was far and wide the best move. Why not use the wood from the tiki bar/verandah etc to part build a second semi-permanent for your dad. That would be far better for you to both to have an easy, instant, heat served, 'bunk' available all year round. Joint vids, all weathers, solo comparitive approach vids. You'd even have a guest house instantly available for collabs. Where it is now the 'cabin', in all its glorious 'sheddy' simplicitiy, blends in far better with the natural beauty of the woodland. Far less invasive and intrusive. Woodstores, raised growing-beds - still loads of projects that would not detract from, and over-civilise, the woodland.

Hey guys, hope you're doing well. Sorry if somebody else has already mentioned this, but I just wanted to ask about the bugs. I had thought that one of the reasons why the pallet wood cabin had been built at a different site in the first place was because during the summer months the area around the bushcraft camp became so infested with ants and other bugs that it was practically unusable. So now that both camps are on the same site, won't that continue to be a problem? Apart from that, great video as always, keep up the good work.

Many of your videos reward viewing multiple times. This is one example. Since you and your Dad are 'waste not; want not' people, I know those pallet chairs that sat on the front porch are still around somewhere. I'd LOVE to see them back in the place on the deck. I am less attached to the 'Tiki Bar' and the tall stools. They DID provide a bit of irony in regards to die-hard bushcraft. We all wait with bated breath to see what you and your Dad will come up with next. But we still enjoy what you came up with in the past

next time you use the bag in a video would you mind showing the base of it? If its made to be used as a seat I would like to see and know what the base of it is made of because that would have to be just about 100% waterproof if its to be used as a seat in wet conditions. Otherwise the contents of the bag would get drenched. I would assume its not waxed canvass but rather something like the base of tents? o. O. it would be cool if you would enlighten me but great video - cheers, -Thom

Greetings from Minnesota I plan on attempting to build a pallet cabin next year (Getting too cold. Snow is falling, etc. I don't know which trees tend to turn first, but I can say they started turning in late August/early September, this year. That said, there is a lot of coniferous trees where I live (about 153km south of Fort Frances, ON, Canada. Looking forward to more videos

That just looks so peaceful and therapeutic. An ideal get away spot. I could see myself sitting on a stump while drinking some of the best coffee known to man boiled over a open fire. While watching the squirrels hunt and play. Call me crazy but this is the absolute best way to live life, no cell phones or internet maybe a TV but that's all ya need

In Canada we have the notorious, Justine Trudeau Weeping Maple. It changes color constantly throughout the year, but is mostly pink in hue. Weak limbed and will shed it's leaves from the slightest environmental stress. It suffers from intermittent hormonal imbalances, and is regarded by most as just an annoying little shrub.

Have a lot of Locust trees in my home city. Those and the Hackberry trees turn first then the rest follow a few weeks later. Over the course of 4 weeks they go from Green to a sea of golden yellow, orange, red and purple. Quite beautiful, but usually only lasts 6 weeks or so then old man winter does his thing for 6 months or so

By late September, black gum, bittersweet, and dogwood are turning. The peak of fall color in Missouri/USA is usually around mid-October. This is when maples, ashes, oaks, and hickories are at the height of their fall display. Normally by late October, the colors are fading and the leaves beginning to drop from the trees.
