Folksss, on to a roof! slow but surely;) If you haven't already watch last weeks Roundhouse Episode, or Again! ''harvesting Nostalgic Roof Material'' ua-cam.com/video/8Fii9wZGBOU/v-deo.html. Video can do with a bit more algorithm support :) Thanks a lot friends!
I dont know if you could get it but Osage Orange (Bois d'arc) would make an excellent mallet. I had a stave of it set around too long for a bow. Made a walking stick instead and it would ring like a steel bar when struck end on on concrete.
I hammock year-round on the west coast of Canada. The secret for me is to have a sheepskin i(Merino) inside my sleeping bag. I've been cozy and warm in January windstorms with this upgrade, and free from the chill from the ground as well as higher up from the morning dew. Highly recommend it.
I too prefer a hammock all year round.I have a better sleep in my Hennessy than my bed at home,although friends of mine swear the ground is better.Different strokes for different folks.
awesome to see you chose a grain other than rice for the reason you did. It is great to see people stop eating animal products, but it is really great to see people make wiser choices with other foods as well : )
I really like that you take your time to rework the little shed as well, maybe learn something for the roundroof. The wood on the shed still looks quite solid, definetly worth an upgrade
Nice to see you back at it in your Bushcraft camp, thatching is a dying art, looking forward to seeing the roundhouse thatch go up and nicely done with your thatch tool making 👌🏻👍🏻
I'd highly recommend Holly for a club/hammer. Find a sapling thick enough at the base for a good hand grip, then dig it up & the top of the root ball gives you a great, heavy, and resilient club. The wood is very close grained, making carving a dream, and it a beautiful white colour. (Until you start bashing stuff of course!) Keep up the great content- I can't wait to see the finished roundhouse!
I guess you could keep a sod roof on the shed with a waterproof under layer e.g. like in scandinavian sod roofs, they apparently use a layer of birch bark impregnated with wood tar. The wood tar is supposed to chemically prevent root growth trough the waterproof layer, something modern synthetics usally fail at as of yet.
I love your videos I always think that they are so well made and and always enjoyable and I love how you write what animal your filming on the screen, keep it up guys.
Lovely chill-out vid. Great idea to use the shed for practice, sort of thing; Very much like the way you guys are taking the time to get it right, letting it evolve.
If you can find Wych Elm, it will make a good mallet that is resistant to splitting. Although Dutch Elm disease it still around, typically the young trees will grow big enough to produce useful small timber before succumbing to attack.
The readmitting wall, as you call it, serves more than one function. Not only does it reflect some of the heat from the fire, it also emits some of the heat it absorbed. If that wasn't enough of a reason to find a few rocks then it's ways a good wind blocker too! I stand by my words but I respect your thoughts and opinions ;)
The fact that you humbly and comically publish your discoveries, surprises and even your mistakes (unlike most self-appointed survival "experts") keeps me coming back. Although generally I agree with your dispensing of a heat reflector when sleeping in front of a fire, I can assure you that, here in a -20 to -30 Northern Ontario winter, the benefit of a granite boulder reflector is definitely not "superfluous or non-existent", for wind break, reflectivity and radiant qualities. Above freezing, however, I don't bother, either.
dang, missed watching it yesterday... pleasure watching now guys, nice job. Suggestion to you Jul you need to try lupine flakes taste really good, nutty and have much more protein as oats. Or combine lupine flakes and spelt flakes, by far better then oats, stay safe cheers
Hi Julius, I'm also reducing meat, and use more lentils and such. But it is often advised to wash dried lentils before cooking, and I do that at home. On trips I don't like wasting the water. I see you're not washing them, is it not neccecary?
could you put the moss on top of the thatch roofing? is that even a thing? i love that moss roof you got going on and understrand why it has to go if it does. gonna miss it. stay safe and keep heathy
Im not sure if rice takes nore energy purely in growing and harvesting, but i would imagine its mainly the transportation costs, goes without saying really but incase you didnt know: think about how much energy it requires to move an object from a to b now enter the vaules of distance and weight and take into account the fossil fuels which are used to generate that required energy, far less efficient in regards to wasted energy and emissions than something grown and harvested within 200 miles on the same land mass. Its just basic physics taught in most schools when you get down to it.
The emmisions are due to the flooding of rice paddys favouring anaerobic conditions for bacteria to produce methane (stong greenhouse gas) and nitrate oxide . I belief emmisions are similar comparable to all aviaton traffic.
silly question but i would like to know what boots you're using at 2.45. they look like proper working boots and i am always on the search for a nice pair
I love how you eat, I use similar ideals when deciding what to eat. But...how long did it take you to cook those oats? They take forever when they aren't flaked!
Bring whole oats to a boil, add a pinch of salt, cover them and take them off the heat. They can sit overnight, for a light ferment that is easy to digest. Add whatever else you want when you heat them up.
@@SmoothGefixt That's handy! I cooked some whole oats the other day (I usually use a hand crank flaker) and they took an hour on the wood stove. They tasted great in the end, and now I will go back to flaking them haha.
Yes, rice uses a lot of water, but it's really only grown in areas of the world that has ready access to a lot of water. Rice is actually pretty sustainable for most climates in which it grows. If you don't want to eat it because it has to be imported and you want to source local food, I 100% understand and support that... just remember that "sustainability" looks different in different parts of the world, because sustainability means working with the land where YOU are, and using the resources at hands. Using a lot of water when you have a lot of water is not an inherent problem. :-)
Far Northern Bushcraft did an experiment with reflectors and came to the conclusion all they did was block the wind making it seem you were getting more heat from the fire
being a diabetic for 5 yrs I get bummed that most of the camping and hiking foods, rice, lentils, beans, potatoes are a no-go for me and I've had to find other things to eat and keep my bloodsugar safe and low. atm I have found that oat bran gives me the same taste and texture as oatmeal without all the carbs and way more fiber. Add some liquid stevia, cinnamon, or maybe a nob of sugar free peanut butter and low carb chocolate chips and its quite lovely on a cold morning.
I am metabolism be, I can have carbs but they have to be not refined carbs. I can do lentils and beans. I can't go overboard, but they seem to burn slow and keep me stable

Don't forget to pin this comment so it doesn't get buried.
You are an excellent example of what a man is capable of on a plant based diet. No animals suffered!👍👍👍✌.
Oh, sweet beard too!
Worth re-watching! Nice work this week Julius, your wood working skills are better than ever!

Спасибо🍀😇👈❗🙏🙏🙏
I think this is the most chilled bushcraft video I've ever watched. Quite therapeutic. Love it.
Great to hear!
That economical/logical way of thinking, brought with the smooth flow of doing a living alone... All the best guys !!!

I love the smile, after Julius take first breakfast spoon :D
Fruit woods make the best mallets, and parts with many knots. I know some hedge layers who’s mallets have been going for 20 years plus.

First time viewer and I subscribed off this video alone, can't wait to watch more and binge watch what's already there!
I want to live like that, a free life with unspoiled nature
So glad too see your videos again. Hope you're all well.
Brilliantly produced video

Whew. Halfway thru we get lentils. I was hungry. Thank you Julius 😜
So satisfying to your all videos from Philippines..
great video, i'm waiting for more😎👍
woo-hoo , it's friday , it's 6pm , it's time for .....
Smooth! (Gefixt)
Always loved to watch
really nice time-lapse transition at 8:35

Thanks man!
Keep after it, thankful for your content. Be blessed and a blessing, God is good!
Che invidia!!! Come vorrei farlo anche io
Awesome work Julius!
Its cool to see you guys continously improving and making new things!
Keep if up.
Looking forward to more.
Cheers
Practicing on the shack is really smart before taking on the big guy!
Yeah!
I really like that you take your time to rework the little shed as well, maybe learn something for the roundroof. The wood on the shed still looks quite solid, definetly worth an upgrade
Thanks for seeing that through! :)
Nice to see you back at it in your Bushcraft camp, thatching is a dying art, looking forward to seeing the roundhouse thatch go up and nicely done with your thatch tool making 👌🏻👍🏻

Thats intresting! Perhaps another roof project in the future;)
Great video!! Making my own tools while bushcrafting is always a lot of fun and gives me much satisfaction hope it feels that way with you.
Yeah man! Very statisfying is right!
Now that's a REAL mallet!
Smooth like Exlax!!
I love your videos I always think that they are so well made and and always enjoyable and I love how you write what animal your filming on the screen, keep it up guys.
It's that Friday feeling.... 🤗
This is magical Julius 🦨🦨🦨
Come by soon to meet the squirrel friends here;)
Another great update. Thanks guys, keep up the great work.

Thanks for another smooth video, from one of the “folks”. Enjoy the day!
Love your videos man, honestly they are so informative and very useful🤲🏻😄
Good as ever lads
Are you ever going to get a roof on the main structure?
To make it as good as we can, it takes time......
Hello from Texas USA
The readmitting wall, as you call it, serves more than one function. Not only does it reflect some of the heat from the fire, it also emits some of the heat it absorbed. If that wasn't enough of a reason to find a few rocks then it's ways a good wind blocker too! I stand by my words but I respect your thoughts and opinions ;)
This is a brilliant series, love it!
3:26 what about wrapping the mallet's head in un-cured leather and shrinking it to fit?
Once up on a time when properly setteling down in the roundhouse perhaps;)
Whatever my dad put a new handle made of wood onto a tool he would soak it in water to make it swell to give it a tighter fit.
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH gefixed jonge!!!
Smoothere michael
Beautiful!
I just discovered you guys ......... Like the videos very much ... USA
So glad to see more from you guys! Love the videos!

Thatch needs to be able to quickly dry after rain to avoid rotting. I like the moss too but it will kill the thatching.
very nice what a surprise haha!
Nice
What "emissions" does rice emit?
Im not sure if rice takes nore energy purely in growing and harvesting, but i would imagine its mainly the transportation costs, goes without saying really but incase you didnt know: think about how much energy it requires to move an object from a to b now enter the vaules of distance and weight and take into account the fossil fuels which are used to generate that required energy, far less efficient in regards to wasted energy and emissions than something grown and harvested within 200 miles on the same land mass. Its just basic physics taught in most schools when you get down to it.
It's a good question. I'm not sure about emissions but it's a very inefficient crop as far as land and water usage goes and it's not locally grown.
The emmisions are due to the flooding of rice paddys favouring anaerobic conditions for bacteria to produce methane
(stong greenhouse gas) and nitrate oxide . I belief emmisions are similar comparable to all aviaton traffic.
When your first mallet failed, did you kick in the ash hole before making a new one? Another great video,thank you.
Lol. No man the ash hole one kept it going for over a year! :)
silly question but i would like to know what boots you're using at 2.45. they look like proper working boots and i am always on the search for a nice pair
Comment for the algorithm 👍🏽
What about starting with the roof on the round house first, then the shed.
the sod probably needs to dry a bit
Better to practice on the smaller less consequential shed, then move on to the main event,that’s how I would approach it.
Where did you get that spelt rice substitute stuff?
If you can't find it in you supermarket, look online or healthfood store
Love ur videos!!!!
The water Reed was used to make candles diped in fat with one strip down the edge to make candles.
I love how you eat, I use similar ideals when deciding what to eat. But...how long did it take you to cook those oats? They take forever when they aren't flaked!
I thought it wasnt to bad, atleast under half an hour I'd say. It gave me some time to carve that spoon;)

What do you call that little curved knife that you used to hollow out the bowl of your spoon?
Hook knife
@@Timschannel2 thank you
Yeah or just spoonknive
Don't eat rice as it is not grown localy... Ads Lentils.
Haha good on you mate! like your series!
Hyyyype!!
Where have you boys disappeared to?
How is the roundhouse getting on?
I had sworn I would never watch another video of a guy carving a spoon but I decided to give you a pass on this one because the rest was awesome.

Are ye renting that land or did ye buy it or just turn up and start building

What are these two are they like brothers or best friends
You should make stone tools
Moss roof is looking so good , but if you made that kinda roof in a tropical forest that shed will spawn centipede XD
Put a wedge in the top of the mallet so it doesn't fly off.
It won't anyways because the stick was tapered;)
Reflective wall is not a matter of belief, it's a matter of physics. The effectiveness will depend on the design.
Ask mister kohanchki
I subbed.
I would recommend wedges or a froe instead of batoning the axe too much - the axe head is not really designed for that (it's quite thin on the sides).
Thats why they call hurling "clash of the ash", as hurls can take many a beating in a match.
Beech wood or beach wood don't know how you spell it is best for tools like a mallet don't really know if it grows in the UK though
We have that! Didnt know it be great!

So rice is grown on the other side of the world? I suppose for someone in Ireland, Europe is on the other side of the world :p
👍👍👍

ah shit i forgot my spoon, lucky i have this tool kit handy to make one......
