I really like the idea behind the farmhouse series. I never really had the opportunity to do any bushcraft myself, and now I've got a 5 year old and a 2 year old. The farmhouse seems like a way to use similar skills in a setting that's a bit more accessible to people like me. Eventually, the kids will get older, and I'd like to take them out and do some of these things with them. But for now, finding ways to practice those or similar skills in the very small woods near our house is the best we can do. I love it.

Loved the video Definitely noticed the LOTR shirt right away. Very cool. I had a question about your pack in the video. Do you have some kind of internal frame in that or is it just the way you pack it. It seems to stand up pretty well. I have the Frost River Isle Royale Jr and I used a small plasitc trash can for an internal frame and for some added water resistance but I'm not sure if I like it. Thanks and love your videos

Great gear I love finding out about older style gear & history of items. That fire blower stick is awesome, planning to some for our home fires. Yay, for a good 20 week scan & healthy mum & baby. Are you going to be making any wooden baby items? For those complaining about the farmhouse stuff, not everyone can get our into the woodland, but many of us can do simple woodwork in our backyard And I love seeing it.

I was given a box full of surplus poncho halves back in the '80s, I used them in pairs to make a teepee for camping, singles as a wind break and even as a sleeping bag on a trip through France, wish I still had some. For blow starting fires, I use a freebie selfie stick I have dismantled. An alternative to your blanket roll is to have a look at the how to items for cowboy bed rolls.

why is it very important not to leave any trace of your wild camping night mike? I have just started following you with the fist video on your log cabin and looking forward to seeing your other videos with your dad etc. looks amazing I just wondered why it was so important not to leave any trace of you being in the woods? cheers, Alec

If you don't have an extendable fire-blowing tube, pinch your forefingers and thumbs together like you're making a figure 8 on its side, and blow through the little diamond-shaped hole between. I can blow a high velocity stream of air for a good 30 seconds this way on a single breath, good for stoking up any fire without hyperventilating.

A suggestion for your blow tube: Put the larger end to your mouth so the tube gets smaller to the fire. This should increase the velocity of the air at the smaller end. Kind of like increasing water pressure with larger tubes into smaller tubes which increases the velocity and pressure of the water at the exit end.
