You should do a video on how to make whatever it is you use to plug the holes in the bark. In the U. S. at least in my neck of the woods we have an abundance of Willows and Alder and they are considered Junk trees. I like willow it is an excellent building material for huts and other things like fences and mats and even bowls. Also, I have always wondered this about the UK, do you guys have any Predators like Bear or Lions or Wolves, etc? We do. Therefore when constructing shelters we need to take that into consideration.

These past few weeks I have been trying to get hold of thatch for the Saxon House. I've FINALLY managed to get some, but it will take a week or so before I can get it on the roof of the house. So in the meantime I put together this condensed version of the Dome Hut I built with Dustin a few weeks back. Hope you enjoy it and keep an eye out for a new Saxon House episode REAL SOON Cheers - Mike

Just wondering about the skin hung at the entrance. The hair on it (the nap) goes head to tail but he way it is hung it looks to be upside down, if the rain was to fall on it it wouldn't follow the nap ie run with the hair. This is the same if making velvet curtains, you want the nap to go downward or otherwise it gathers dust

Fantastic video guys Im loving the shelter builds in the woods you are doing. It must have taken ages to film and edit to get the shots looking the way you did for this. The silent element of the video is a nice touch, great for non english speakers but it adds a sort of relaxing quality. Top effort

Dustin is 'wizzard' at natural lashing Good to see you demonstrate 'suppling', the part of bending wood I always forgot I LOVE the quality 'spuds' you each made for removing bark. Your project this week is moving along nicely, maybe due to experience and to using better 'bushcraft. '

For the sake of feedback I like the pictures only videos. IMO there's no narrative needed to explain what the video clearly shows. Great job on the bark peeling tools. it was clear the knife method was inefficient. Thanks for another great video.

Just think. if that daft evolution thingymajig hadn't got all carried away with itself. and dumped a brain in our heads way too big for us. We'd all be doing this. and wouldn't life be so much simpler. No council tax for a start.
