Howdy Folks! This video is the conclusion of the "Longhouse" construction. It will focus on thatching the longhouse frame. The initial plan was to thatch the longhouse with bundles of field grass. The grass turned out to be insufficient for our needs. We chose to use "Leafy Branches" and it worked quite well.
This video is not shot in the manner of my other videos as it was a "Working Situation". I tried to chronicle the weekend as if you were part of it and compress the time for watchability.

A special thank you to Jason, Jamie, Dave, Joe, Eli, Nate, Dan, Bryan, and Stan for making this event so awesome!
