Enjoyed the video Mike You know, if you were to fully do what the majority of your viewers would love for you to do, aka a video of TA Outdoors and The Farmhouse every day, you would have to be some sort of Superman Because your videos are so well thought out, and so professionally done (ok, so you're not a professional. but they are great, your viewers really just can't get enough. But you have other responsibilities in life that take time as well. I look forward to more videos of the Farmhouse both inside the home as well as outside. Hopefully you will include your wonderful wife in some as well. Maybe you could build and show the progress of a Square Foot Garden, chairs, benches, tables, etc. that you build outside for outside use. Would also love a video of the property borders using a drone. Anyway, good on you, and many blessings as well.

love how you do everything the old fashioned way I feel these are really valuable skills to have esp as the RF pollution that is increasing in our towns and cities making everybody ill. sooner or later people will have to move into the wilderness and start again so thank you for sharing the RF in our little flat has been so high that the wife and I are getting ill and have been spending a lot of time at our secret campsite in the woods. RF=Radio Frequency all devices like smartphones, Wi-Fi routers, laptops and PCs pump out this radiation and it is lethal if you want to know more then have a look at my latest videos or just do a little research it's pretty scary really allyways, happy camping chap I look forward to your next video

HI Mike, I like that you are doing this. I am into the homesteading, here in the SF Bay Area alternative building, utility systems, self-sufficiency is very big. This is actually how I found you. Sometimes the homesteading and survival overlap and if the environmental leafletting has not been going well, perhaps the survival skills would not be a bad idea. So farming, homestead, survival, they all kind of meld and anything works for me(your wife will be busy with the baby, but if she does get into all this with everything else she will be doing that will be nice too) Thanks for all you do. I like the historical part too.

Looks good so far. Don't know if you will read this or not but since this is your home/garden (I've been meaning to suggest this since you started all the bark stripping) but now it's your garden have you thought of putting a tarp down to collect the scrappings? would save time clearing up after and then you can just drag the tarp to wherever you need to take it. Anyway been hooked since the wigwag series then went back to watch most of your vids, have also subbed to TA fishing cause your dad is awesome. Think your gonna be a great dad and you've obviously had a great dad to learn from. Wendy

Mike, with those size apple trees, you will get a heck of a crop You have to do an autumn series on applecraft Here in the States, every farm estate 150 years ago had apple trees and every man was known for his cider he made from his own apples. Get you a cider press and make some cider, hard or not Dry apples to make a nice sweet trail snack for your overnighters in other bushcraft series And if you have or can find an old copper kettle, make some applebutter (If you want to do this I have an old time family recipe passed down I might be able to share with you) Cheers man and God bless

Michael, thank you so, so much for sharing People from other countries do know about the class system in the U. K, through shows like Downton Abby. Did you buy this wonderful farmhouse or are you renting? Your Dad and mom must be so proud and happy about your child to be born I will probably never come to England, so for you to share this farmhouse and property, is so great It's getting a tour without being there. It is so beautiful I live in the Rocky Mnts. and it is beautiful, in it's own way, just like England Thanxz

Shame on me. I watched your video and at the end I thought - Unlike this other Canadian bushcrafter, (J. R) you do not brag, or constantly show oooh, look at what I have. etc Another plus, you and Em (from what we see) keep a much cleaner house. That other guy should be ashamed to show the mess he lives in. Oh, been watching your dad's TA Fishing. When is the the next one with the two of you? Congratulations on your well earned success.

Since nobody seams to be talking about the elephant in the room, as a truthful person that also happens to be a carpenter I must say that is more like a wonky donkey than saw horse bud. Legs are too thin and too long and it should have 4 legs otherwise it wont be fit for purpose and is actually quite dangerous. Best of luck mate but I expected a 20 minute video to have produced something of excellenceNice house.

Not even in the forest and still can't get away from logs that need peeling? Is there a place you frequent where you're not doing that? I can see you at the pub, man walks in and asks the barkeep, Where's Mike? Oh, that'll be him over in the corner, peelin' that log he dragged in with 'im Very nice sawhorse, by the way An idea for stiffening it would be to put the tenons all the way through and wedge them. Cheers

Looks like you have a large lavender bush (around the 16: 20 time) these have a multitude of uses, and relatively hardy plants too, quite easy to grow too. And Somerset, quite the best county in England (says a Bedfordian, the Mendip and Quantock hills, Exmoor, the Levels. Weston - Super - Mud, OK, so you can't win em all, good fresh food, and oh so much LESS hectic pace of life in general.
