Great job guys I'm surprised you guys haven't used natural sealants/water repellents on the roof. Seen other videos of people boiling tree resin and coating the inside of natural water filters to keep water from leaking out. Perhaps you could do the same thing to the roof once you figure out how to patch the holes in it? I'd also recommend using tar since it does the same thing but don't know if you guys have access to that there. Should be plenty of resin with all the trees near you. Not sure if the type of resin used matters, most of the resin used in videos i've watched was pine and I know you guys have a lot of cedar. You guys ever going to build a front door?

If I may suggest in the future one could add a pine roof shingles as pine trees branches grow in rows there would leave better than a foot to 16 inches you cut out the tree so that you have clear sections and using a foe which has a wood handle and an iron wedge you hit with a stick and split the shingles. So it only need a saw a foe to make pine or cedar shingles a stick or rubber hammer and proper roof for both the Vickinh and Sackson houses. Great videos and food. Scott from New Hampshire USA

That's an awful lot of peppers and garlic for a place with no shitter Just saying. Jeez now he's adding ransoms You guys are gonna kill your dooky bucketI'm commenting a lot on the food. I carry eggs, bacon, ham if I can find a good deal cured ham. Also pounds of coffee. I will live on that til it runs out. I'm fairly simple when I camp. Haven't camped for a while, but I've got a nice teepee type tent and I'm looking forward to, getting out sometime.

One thing I always have a question about when it comes to The Vikings and bush craft. Ok, I can see something like this as a temporary fish camp or travel shelter maybe. These Norse people built the finest ships of the age, which means they were superb carpenters, and I'm sure they were supremely more capable of building something better than a drafty, leaky lean to in the woods. Looked like a fun time project though.

Have enjoyed this series very much, to help you get viking shelter more waterproof tho, you should use a clay/water slurry to coat the bark walls and roof. Not sure how to make but, I think if you were to reference the jean auel books, clan of the cave bear and the mammoth hunters, they have descriptions of how to make a working fire pit and a shelter using the slurry and turf covering over outside of shelter.

The value in charring wood surfaces goes beyond visual effect. . In Japanese building, charring wood surfaces is known as shou-sugi-ban; this technique is valued because it wraps up wood in a layer of carbon that's highly resistant to mould, insects, water and even fire. It also creates a powerful visual effect. There is a temple in Japan treated this way, and it was built in 711ad.

When Mike and Dustin were starting to build the chimney roof thing, I first thought it was going to be another ladder, then I figured it was going to be the frame for the front door, then I guessed it was going to be a dog house for Amber, then I thought it was going to be the roof for a better firewood store. Then, I found out what it was really going to be.

CALLED IN AUSTRALIA A RIDGE CAP CAN BE TIGHT FITTING TO EXCLUDE ALL WEATHER OR WITH A GAP TO VENTILATE THE ROOF CAVITY IN HOTTER CLIMATE. CHEERS. FROM OZ. This type of structure is still used today with materials of modern origins and are still low cost alternatives to european style structures of stone and slate etc.

You blokes make one earn the comments. I mean that statement in the context of within the video. You make us all watch you work or have fun or do anything. But, you make us watch 10-15 minutes of content before you begin commenting on your actions. Very Artistic. Well done From Chicago IL. USA. Great stuff -Jerry
