Medieval Camp - First Night in the Celtic Roundhouse: Bushcraft Project (PART 10)

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.

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.
