Join us at the medieval camp where we spend the first night in the bushcraft celtic roundhouse. We have been building the iron age roundhouse using simple hand tools. The foundations and timber frame we built from Cedar. We then built a medieval fence panel using woven hazel (wattle and daub, we then attached these panels to the frame. We used a clay and straw mix to seal the walls. We thatched the roof with traditional iron age techniques, using water reed and capped the ridge with long straw from Somerset, England. With the house now complete, we decided it was time for us both to do a first overnight in the camp. So we laid down some deer hides on the raised beds, got a big fire going and cooked over the fire using a traditional Afghan pressure cooker. We seared the meat on the fire to seal the flavour in, then added some moroccan spices to the pressure cooker, and some cooking oil, and we filled it with fresh vegetables and sweet corn. We added some water and then sealed the cooker up and cooked it over the fire for 30 minutes

Although I don t study medieval history, I can understand why living history groups based on this era, like to depict life in such a village, using practical tools, cooking like they used to, preparing the food themselves. I study late 19th Century history, part of which related to the subject is the traditional Zulu beehive huts, plus the stilted version where they stored their cowhide shields. Not sure the former could be a project you could do for your series being based in the U. K. Would be interesting to see an attempt at such from start to finish as a bushcraft topic though

That style of pressure cooker is very old in Afghanistan. I saw very few old ones like that, most were new style. Silver with multiple black wing-nut style screws along the edge. If they were being used for cooking you had no worries. One the otherhand, sitting by themselves was a cause for concern as they were used frequently as IED's packed with HME and chunks of metal, they were deadly. Great for cooking though.

Love the way you embrace your ancestral past via projects like this. A good test in the rain. You mentioned the smoke coming out and I could see it, does it get smoky inside, it didn't look it to be fair. That pressure cooker I've seen before, it cooks really quick, my fear is it exploding but if set right I guess it wont. Anyway dinner looked great, hope you enjoyed the mead!

Sorry to leave another comment but I was just curious that I've watched a few of your builds and was wondering what woods you build in so that you don't worry that someone would bother your builds. I know that would be a shame if they did but you know how some people can be. So was just curious about that.

Wonderful video! I was so looking forward to this episode! I am very glad that this build is holding up better than the Saxon house. You live you learn. Love the Moroccan pressure cooker, have you ever thought of trying ribs or maybe a roast in It? Keep the content coming. see you on your next upload!

That s is just epic! Also the perfect weather to have it nice and cosy in there. Probably one of the best feelings and experiences to enjoy all the work. To be honest now I m a little jealous only a little: -) thanks for sharing, all the best, Taro
