Dark Ages: 476 AD – 1492 (Now more known as Early Medieval Age) Viking Age: 800 AD – 1066) The Dark Age is often referred to a particular period in Britain. We know it more now as the middle ages or early medieval age which encompasses the Viking Age. The reason it was called the Dark Ages was because once the Romans left Britain, it is said by scholars that society in Britain went backwards (also, there is little recorded from the history during that time) The Romans built solid buildings, bath houses, roads, sanitation etc. Once they left Britain we went back to basics, building from wood, timber frame etc. This project was inspired by the Vikings who once occupied a large chunk of England. They were resourceful people. The structure we built here is certainly not historically correct. But we did use natural materials that we found in the surrounding woodland. Making the foundation and the frame from straight cedar wood was relatively simple. We used traditional wood pegs to secure the A-Frame. The hard part was peeling the cedar bark for the roof. This involved days of work, and the conditions had to be right to peel the bark (wet weather helped). These trees were not cut down by us, but by the land owner as part of forest management. This meant that we had to be fast to get the bark of the trees whilst they were still relatively green. Any longer and the bark would have dried too much to peel off. We did not anticipate how much the bark would shrink to the roof when it dried. This meant that we were left with a lot of holes. Digging the viking longpit for the fire was also a difficult task. Clay, when wet, is very difficult to dig. However, when wet it is easier to mould and to shape, which made filling in the gaps between the rocks much easier. We probably should have added wood ash and straw to the mix to prevent it from cracking as much from the heat of the fire. Traditional viking houses were much larger than this (especially the famous viking longhouses). The vikings were incredibly resourceful, and that is where we gained the inspiration for this shelter. I hope you enjoy the video. Thank you for watching - Mike

this is 100x better than those fake jungle people "building" videos

I assume you are charring the ends of those logs so they dont rot?

I am curious about the fire pit. Did you have to worry about the type of rock available for the fire pit? I am wondering if there is any concern about the rocks getting hot enough to fracture or crack . Or is it that the rocks would not get hot enough to present this problem?

wondering where i could get a version of that "settlers wrench" they used to make the saw horse with?

Excellent !!!

I would leave more wood on the ridge.

Did the Vikings have pull saws?

What did the Vikings use for a brace and bit?

What camera do u use?

is it just me or is minecraft coming to life????????

Hello,
I want to thank you for this video and ask you why do you burn the logs?
Thank you very much for this interesting video

Can someone please help me understand what purpose burning the wood serves? Is it weatherization? Thank you.

Nice video, almost mediative.
43:00 This was to get fresh air to the fire or what was the purpose of this channel from the fire to the outside?

I will start my channel

WOOOOOW

The wide-eyed banjo particularly follow because michelle concordingly clear beyond a open move. spiritual, sparkling font

That dog was a pretty good foreman. He made sure everything went well and even helped a little. Love the build, continue making great videos!!!

Please explain the process of burning the ends of the logs. I presume that hardens and preserves the ends, but am not familiar with it.

เผาโคนไม้เพื่ออะไรใครทราบครับ

Is the charring of the wood at the base to prevent rot?

I have to tell you, I’m a woman and I find your videos so amazing! I loved this one about the the Viking house!
It was amazing and so great to watch! You all were great!
Thank you for all you do!!

I didn't know Vikings used plastic bubble levels..lol

looks nice

this is the first time i came across this channel.
no unnecessarily long intro, no talking, no music; just the men and their royal dog getting things done.
every shots and angles portrait the nature and what they are doing. the editing is well done.
overall, i kind of regret i didnt find this sooner. please take my sub and like, and stay safe~!

NICE WORK

Nice build but definitely not waterproof

Vikings would never waste so many useful ship building nails!!! BAH!

podre

Thx YouTube, recomended sucesefull

🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝

👍👍👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝

What a B-O-R-I-N-G built! A little explanation of what you were doing would have been nice!

저렇게 좋은 목재를 가지고 돼지집 을 짖고 있는 게 나는 허탈하게 보인다.... 재료가 넘 아깝다....

I wanna do this in either Sweden or Norway in the forests or on the edge of a forest near some mountains.

Please be careful with your backs. Work like that adds up, and it can happen quick. Just please please be careful when picking up entire trees and throwing them over your shoulder. I threw my back out doing work like that, and I've never been the same. The daily pain for years has cost me some really good jobs. Anyway, my advice to you. Love what you're doing.

Feel so relaxed..🤔👍 not thinking and keep working

What is the purpose of burning the logs?

👍👍

Take caree !!❤❤ happy new year with health and happiness!!kisses from Greece!!!!

It's one cold and leaky house only fit for good weather and warmer parts of the year with those finger sized gaps in the wall and i would not trust that roof to keep the rain out.
It's cool tho and good for sunshade and some cover from the wind at least if not blowing straight in.

Too great..i want to build like this and have it..

The disgusted security undeniably afford because nose aboaly last unlike a few fierce iran. synonymous, best shark

17:40 i can’t believe even the dog was doing work

I love the dog helping pull roots out

Never saw them once feed there animal?
