  • Most places they would make the homes circular, because they circulated the heat better so they stayed warm in the winter.

  • @Basementsnacks not in the NWC

  • so, are those logs nailed?

  • @CanadianReich traditionally they are lashed

  • I would freeze to death lol

  • @treverbettis

    Oregon weather is similar to England, I think people were tougher back then

  • @LivingHistorySchool with? im guessing very fine boiled wood strips....Ive seen how birch bark canoes are made and they carve out some thin long bits of wood and boil them...... but im just guessing.

  • @LivingHistorySchool  would they not hang furs on the walls? curious

  • @Cmy5luvs Good question, i was wondering how they made their planks also.

  • @LivingHistorySchool Ya think? LOL Nice work man!
