Those little 2 block high in ground cabins really are best for surviving 1st night creeps. Since you're on a hill, you can tunnel down and make bedrooms. Don't forget to set up a bed soon so you can set your spawn points.
While watching you bail the water from the hole under the floor I thought what I would have done is make it deeper. Making it deeper and lining it with stones or other liner you would have water close at hand to use to wash or cook with when the weather is bad. Another idea I had was to make an opening in the wall with a liner to hold food in a cooler spot ( like a cooler or refrigerator??). You are a man of my heart, I love being organized and clean just as this video shows. Great job.
I've thought about that many times. I've watched them building sauna's but never an outhouse. You are correct. Why not an outhouse in the next episode . I'd like to see how they do it !!!???
That ground water would have to be filtered many times before it would be safe to use for anything. There is 15,000 years of rot in that soil from the last ice age. Better to construct a tarp-lined outside rain collector, into a filter, then into a sanitary barrel, with a sanitary hose/spigot to the inside.
Да, ребята! Не завидую я иностранным зрителям, так не хватает вашего повествования. С вашими голосами, рассказами, пояснениями и рецептами видео приобретает свой не повторимый шарм и окрас, появляется вкус. Из-за этого ваши видео так приятно смотреть и с нетерпением ждешь новые. Добра вам!
Great. I love the idea to buiild it underground. I, too, love the safety-aspect of it - having the place hidden and underground adds to the feeling of safety. The biggest safety-bringer is not being found at all. Also no falling trees etc. will be able to harm you and the insulation is probably better than any you could have added to an overground house. I love how you hid the chimney. Plus you have an emergency supply with groundwater / rainwater right under your feet in case you must hide out in there. I love these thought games of hiding out in a cabin during a zombie apocalypse or whatever the world can bring onto us.
Would love to see updates on how all of your structures are holding up after some time has passed. Are they built just for fun or are they built for clients?
And I wanted to say, when my grand parents migrated to Western Canada, they lived in a thatched house for the first few years. Ah, now I know that this type of dwelling can be very comfortable. I like the different styles you are showing us as well.
thatched houses are still common in the UK due to historic protections on buildings and can be a pain to redo the roof of. I suspect that a thatched roof would last even shorter in the hot, cold and wet climate of western canada
Well I think he loves his tree house the most! He cleans it, and feels most comfortable surveying the area from the tree height. Great video's. Thank you for sharing them.
I love everything about it. The gentlemen are all working together Things being done by hand fitting nice and snug. burning and Staining the wood. All the way down to the cute little door handle. It will be a warm and safe Doug out.

Innen sieht der Raum echt wunderbar aus,so schön! Es fehlt nur noch eine gemütliche Sitzecke und ein bequemes Bett ohne auf hartem Holz unbequem zu liegen!
Wow, amazing , hats off to you guys! And beautiful forest. I'm a woodworker, jointers and stuff, always a good idea to wear protection for the eyes :) Good use of the scrub plane.
Very nice job! It reminds me of when I was a kid, maybe 14. They were about to build a huge US Post Office building near where I lived growing up. It's a huge regional Post Office distribution hub, still operating nearly 50 years later. For many, many years it was privately-owned land with only one home there, that they moved to another location just like a mile and a half away, and two softball fields with a concession stand, restrooms, bleachers, a scorekeeping/announcer's box, the whole nine yards. There was also another huge, empty field, and maybe 4 acres of woods. It was a great place to group-up. A massive playground. Anyway, when they started disassembling the plywood softball field fences I had the idea of 'borrowing' some of the material. We went on the weekend when they weren't working, and got some 6 x 6 wooden posts, sheets of plywood and a door and frame. When we went back to work on our building/clubhouse the door was gone. There was a note on the side of our building that said, _"we want our door, but you can have everything else."_ *lol* Since our building was pretty far back in the woods, and we didn't take a lot of material, we thought maybe they wouldn't notice, but there was obviously a worn path leading straight to our construction. We built a killer 2-story clubhouse. The best any kids could want, and we did it all ourselves. We even got a mattress and box spring my friend's mom was about to throw away. We had a battery-powered stereo, lights, posters on the walls......everything we wanted. Then, during Thanksgiving, while I was out of town at my grandma's house, and the other guys were doing their family things, another rival group of punk kids in the neighborhood came and literally chopped our clubhouse down with axes. *lol* I'm now 62, but I guess I still haven't quite gotten over it. 😆
Thats pretty lame of them to do that but destroying what someone else has built seems to be common in history. I surprised they exerted the energy to do that and just didn't torch it.
Great build. It's also great to see a bushcraft video that is realistic in the time frame it took and used tools suited to conditions..... such as a proper shovel and not one that barely reaches the knee. Would be a good idea to have a carbon detector. Great job
Incredible! I’m a city slicker, but this totally fulfills my fantasy of being one with nature using only what I essentially need. Kudos to you guys. I actually learned a lot while watching.
Loraine I live like this off grid in the forest and I can tell you it is damn hard work LOL. Everything is an effort. You learn to never get behind or you'll pay in time and even more effort - big time. It is never ending. Added to this I have a full time job with a 2 hour commute per day. The access road is a never ending source of worry, culverts to unblock, trees that constantly fall over the road, washouts, fuel and water to cart, constant chainsaw and generator maintenance. Cutting chopping and splitting wood never ever ends nor does the gathering and stacking of it. When it's wet everything is three times the effort. The floor is constantly wet with muddy boots. There is no bathroom of course so if you need to dig a hole when it's raining at 3:00am you're getting wet. Ants and mosquitos drive you insane. A hot shower longer than 90 seconds is a luxury of the highest order and being constantly cold for much of the year a fact of life. Even having a shave is an effort if you forget. You're laundry is the laundromat in town on the way home. I've had 7 fires inside in 5 years from the most bizarre freaky incidents - I got them all out very quickly luckily. The fantasy of it is not the reality however the upsides can at times be profound. Get home from work in summer when the sun sets at 9:00pm and you have hours of daylight and warmth after work, the birds, cooking outside but that only is really about 30% of it, the other 70% is just surviving. It can be good though for sure. Would I have it any other way? - perhaps. A country house with a bathroom, shower and toilet would be good. Basic stuff like that is a luxury I once took for granted. Mains electricity is now like WOW - If it breaks you don't have to fix it the power company comes; what a luxury! Think of what you're giving up vs what you're gaining is my advice from experience. If only I'd have known! The knowing of course is in the doing.
@@ThePaulv12 Yes, for sure a lot of work. I’ve only experienced the wood hauling all day long ( it seemed). And I didn’t do the chopping. I could barely make kindling. A few times the well pump and pipes froze and we were melting snow for water. But just getting rid of all the junk and having the essentials for comfort (a toilet! running water! hot shower!) is a relief. The sounds of birds, watching a lone fox scamper by. Time to think and reflect. Fantasies are a good thing.
I noticed that. Right around when Grandpa shows up. "What are you idiots doing using raw logs and hand tools?" Past that it's Ryobi and Home Depot materials.😆
I like the way you show the REAL speed that it takes to do a job like this. Very Slow and methodical! Also you demonstrate just how much energy and time it takes to do a shelter like this. Great 👍🏻 job! Listen to Paw-Paw he knows what to do and how! To bad people now days think 🤔 the older you get the less you know. Now there are some that fits that narrative. But you can easily tell the difference, so get as much information from him that you can. Great job in your design and construction of your shelter. Waiting to see if you dig a water trench around your shelter to direct rain water around and away from your shelter to keep it dry inside! Yes you are smarter than the average bear. By putting a water trench around your shelter awesome 😎! I was wondering if you were going to put a enter door on your shelter to lock it up when you aren’t there and to keep the warmth inside when it’s cold outside.
Enjoyed watching the build. You used good materials for a safe wood stove installation. If you install a damper in the stove pipe you will use less wood and not have to feed the fire as often through the night.
Love your video. Great effort. I do see great value in rubble drains around base outside Charing the timber in the ground to slow down rot AND geotech fabric around to stop seepage and mould.
It was a great effort and lots of hard work, but I agree when it comes to drainage - water can easily get in - the roof should have been at a slant so that the water doesn't pool on the window, even when shut - all around the dugout you need a form of drainage so that when it rains the water doesn't pool anywhere and seep in - a slanted gutter that entices the water to drain away from the place into another area where you can collect the water for use - The dugout also was a little small and cramped if you are going to have two people staying there - unless it is only for a weekend stay lol - but your hobbit home was at least a step in the right direction - thanks for sharing
This stuff is starting a trend. Although an associate of mine already had a place picked out and purchased, in some areas this is easier said than done because of the ground types. For one thing the ground is a factor. Drainage is a factor but the one thing this guy did not count on was it was better to include the purchase of a used backhoe in the mortgage price than it was to rent me & my machine which was what his first thoughts were. He did not know how operate a machine is how I met the guy, He planned first on renting my machine and me the operator but we sort of melded on his needs would require that he buy a machine I would operate to dig a 27ft by 55ft hole in the ground. Yep he watcha da videos but he absolutely did not take into account the hole we were digging flooded 4 times and had to be pumped out some mornings. The logs were not cut on the property they were purchased seasoned and treated from an Amish saw mill some miles out in the middle of nowhere. That was yet another expensive lesson & factor. Lucky I knew how to put sky lights in a metal roof. I left the job after the hole was dug and left for the season over the winter the place sat and naturally he did not have that roof on so coming back in the spring naturally it was flooded again so we pumped it. The good news was we had a mostly hot very dry summer so when he discovered the fact I actually owned a roofing company at one time and I only moon lighted with my machines because of my health well I am still a roofer by trade but my health does not let me climb around on roofs much anymore but his roof was only 3ft above ground at the highest parts so it was a breeze and in July we got one nasty thunderstorm as much wind and lighting as we got rain too like someone throwing buckets at us. Also factor in he was even more shocked we had more digging inside because of septic he needed a 55 gallon pump tank below the floor level. He had not a clue about a pump tank nor how they worked. This place was meant to be his home. He was Iraq vet like me and he wanted to live his way which was fine but he was going about things with all the wrong ideas and advice from bar stool contractors. The metal roof was the ticket because of there was very little sun that came thru the thick forest land we were on. The lot did require me to pitch 2 areas to keep the roof water from entering between the logs below ground. He is planning on concrete trough drains next year which would be a nice touch. But these guys are just building simple shelters they R not planning on living there just probably hanging out and hunting in the winter seasons. Those two diff separate ideals. If U R gonna build one of these places even for a cabin to be cozy a pitched metal roof is the way to go. Septic is necessary where I live you can really get in a lot of trouble even just placing a camper on a lot or a shed without septic.
Some polycarbonate and heavier plywood would make that skylight more secure. That’s quite a wonderful piece of work you have done and I hope it brings you joy for many years! 👍🏻
I’m hearing a lot of suggestions about purposing a well under the dwelling but they handled it the right way in the video, you DO NOT want to have a shallow well stagnant underneath of your house. Mostly because the fetid water, even if covered and lined, can cause bad health problems, become a breeding ground for bacteria and also pests.
Realistically, if the well was set up properly and connected to the water tables fine, would that not work? What exactly is the reason the water would become unusable? You're supposed to boil water from a well anyway, so why is a well in a house bad but a well outdoors and above ground not? Is it just human pollution reasons?
Think if I make a Dugout couple things I would look for. Area that is more on a hill or small slope. Give my dugout a very slight tilt towards the downhill of the Hill or Small Slope. That way, any water that comes thru, can drain out easier.
Hi, very nice structure!!!, but I am worried about the humidity, is it from the rain or does it come from the ground? I would prefer not to have to deal with moisture coming from the ground, in which case I would make the floor above ground level.
Water level in soil are critical when you choise place for dogout. Also as spring water level. I think this guys check it before start to work, so basically all ok. Rainwater canaled around, some excess water under elevated floor drained from waterpit. With proper ventilation no big trouble with humidity. In winter time stove boost air exchange.
You guys did a really good job on that and only 1 reason for that.... God Bless you and Good Luck.... Today, I bet you are really glad you built it !!!! it wont be in vain that's for sure ....
A 3" drain pipe in the floor going down that hill would have solved the water issue. It would need to be placed nearly at the start because a trench would need to be dug to place it. Water was an issue in my fox hole. It just seeps in through the clay.
Such a great job. I can only imagine how much work that actually was. Did they not work on it during summer? It seemed to always be rainy and damp out.
Crazy to think, in WW2, these types of structures were set up in 2 days by the combat engineers fearing for their lives and trying to protect their brothers. That goes for both sides of the war.

Привет из России! Меня зовут Дмитрий К. Отличная работа. Вопрос: когда начнёте делать нормальные односкатные крыши? Посмотрите руководство от 1938/42гг.
Great dugout and a lot of hard work. I don't really understand, though, in these dugout/underground shelter, etc. type videos I've watched from various creators, why they all leave the entryways so exposed. The very exterior/ second door should be framed and made to overhang the framing all around instead of a normally hinged door where water can just get in when it rains. A lot of them seem to leave the little entry path and/or steps, etc. so unprotected even after waterproofing the other parts as much as possible.?
@@ToolinAround when digging the initial dugout pit, I would dig a trench to a deep French drain outside of the dugout walls and line it all with geotextile. Fill it with rocks and sand and gravel. Bone dry with no bailing. As long as the ground is eventually able to soak it up.. If its all clay it may sit stagnant and keep filling..
@@skeebert yeahhh I was about to say lol, as a Missouri resident our red clay does not allow for such efficient and easy systems. Honestly digging in general is an insane chore because what isn’t clay is rocks
Why do you burn the wood? I really appreciate your hard work in building cabins…I’m sure the sounds of nature in the forest and the cool animals around you makes it all worth it! Great video! 😍❤
That's such a great build! I am envious of your work ethic and talent. Question: what is the yellow stain -- I am guessing it's a water-proofer? I like the camouflage effect. You are hidden from the world. If things got really bad you could go to this shelter and live there, provided you have enough food and supplies. It would be possible with solar energy, tools, supplies, and hard work. I like this build also because it's solid and winter-proof. It's a great design. Great job!
I find it funny that I am incapable of watching a two hour movie, but can sit and watch a two hour bushcraft video.
Those little 2 block high in ground cabins really are best for surviving 1st night creeps. Since you're on a hill, you can tunnel down and make bedrooms. Don't forget to set up a bed soon so you can set your spawn points.

It was a great effort and lots of hard work, but I agree when it comes to drainage - water can easily get in - the roof should have been at a slant so that the water doesn't pool on the window, even when shut - all around the dugout you need a form of drainage so that when it rains the water doesn't pool anywhere and seep in - a slanted gutter that entices the water to drain away from the place into another area where you can collect the water for use - The dugout also was a little small and cramped if you are going to have two people staying there - unless it is only for a weekend stay lol - but your hobbit home was at least a step in the right direction - thanks for sharing
How’s your shelter build coming?

This stuff is starting a trend. Although an associate of mine already had a place picked out and purchased, in some areas this is easier said than done because of the ground types. For one thing the ground is a factor. Drainage is a factor but the one thing this guy did not count on was it was better to include the purchase of a used backhoe in the mortgage price than it was to rent me & my machine which was what his first thoughts were. He did not know how operate a machine is how I met the guy, He planned first on renting my machine and me the operator but we sort of melded on his needs would require that he buy a machine I would operate to dig a 27ft by 55ft hole in the ground. Yep he watcha da videos but he absolutely did not take into account the hole we were digging flooded 4 times and had to be pumped out some mornings. The logs were not cut on the property they were purchased seasoned and treated from an Amish saw mill some miles out in the middle of nowhere. That was yet another expensive lesson & factor. Lucky I knew how to put sky lights in a metal roof. I left the job after the hole was dug and left for the season over the winter the place sat and naturally he did not have that roof on so coming back in the spring naturally it was flooded again so we pumped it. The good news was we had a mostly hot very dry summer so when he discovered the fact I actually owned a roofing company at one time and I only moon lighted with my machines because of my health well I am still a roofer by trade but my health does not let me climb around on roofs much anymore but his roof was only 3ft above ground at the highest parts so it was a breeze and in July we got one nasty thunderstorm as much wind and lighting as we got rain too like someone throwing buckets at us. Also factor in he was even more shocked we had more digging inside because of septic he needed a 55 gallon pump tank below the floor level. He had not a clue about a pump tank nor how they worked. This place was meant to be his home. He was Iraq vet like me and he wanted to live his way which was fine but he was going about things with all the wrong ideas and advice from bar stool contractors. The metal roof was the ticket because of there was very little sun that came thru the thick forest land we were on. The lot did require me to pitch 2 areas to keep the roof water from entering between the logs below ground. He is planning on concrete trough drains next year which would be a nice touch. But these guys are just building simple shelters they R not planning on living there just probably hanging out and hunting in the winter seasons. Those two diff separate ideals. If U R gonna build one of these places even for a cabin to be cozy a pitched metal roof is the way to go. Septic is necessary where I live you can really get in a lot of trouble even just placing a camper on a lot or a shed without septic.
Well done.
I enjoyed every bit of it.
Thanks.
Good Job!
Gran trabajo y grandes artesanos! Una duda ; no hay que hacer drenaje para cuando llueva intensamente ?
I truly enjoy your talks
Your so positive and kind
Cheers
I think the building of this would actually be more fun than using it 👍🏻🤩. Awesome job!! Great imagination!!
Some polycarbonate and heavier plywood would make that skylight more secure. That’s quite a wonderful piece of work you have done and I hope it brings you joy for many years! 👍🏻
This is one of my very favorite videos of all time. Wonderful work Gentle Men.
God bless my friend. Wonderful video. Continue to live free!
I’m hearing a lot of suggestions about purposing a well under the dwelling but they handled it the right way in the video, you DO NOT want to have a shallow well stagnant underneath of your house. Mostly because the fetid water, even if covered and lined, can cause bad health problems, become a breeding ground for bacteria and also pests.
Realistically, if the well was set up properly and connected to the water tables fine, would that not work? What exactly is the reason the water would become unusable? You're supposed to boil water from a well anyway, so why is a well in a house bad but a well outdoors and above ground not? Is it just human pollution reasons?
They literary left that damp ground under there and the water will pool there everytime it rains. all that work for rotting house.
wow great👍👍👍, I'm from Indonesia, I'm a Muslim, I like hard work, your cooperation...... continue.....👍👍👍 greetings from Indonesia🙏🙏🙏
wonder full bro
Omg what a amazing video you sure did a wonderful job God keep on blessing you always young man Rosa olbera from America 🇺🇸
Loved it! Your attention to details is amazing.
Second this comment,
Definitely!
Cool building one myself I am a 11 year old girl
Think if I make a Dugout couple things I would look for. Area that is more on a hill or small slope. Give my dugout a very slight tilt towards the downhill of the Hill or Small Slope. That way, any water that comes thru, can drain out easier.
You look like you're growing so fast got a new pair of glasses looking good can't wait to see what up neext
Hi, very nice structure!!!, but I am worried about the humidity, is it from the rain or does it come from the ground? I would prefer not to have to deal with moisture coming from the ground, in which case I would make the floor above ground level.
Water level in soil are critical when you choise place for dogout. Also as spring water level. I think this guys check it before start to work, so basically all ok. Rainwater canaled around, some excess water under elevated floor drained from waterpit. With proper ventilation no big trouble with humidity. In winter time stove boost air exchange.
Prayer for you. Atleast you have dtwo people. I won't worry as much now
Wah keren banget rumah nya buat an sendiri, sangat² keren kawan, salam dari 🇮🇩
Салют, Лесные!!! Случайно набрёл на ваш, этот, канал)) на нашем всё же лучше)) вы молодцы, парни! Удачи вам!!! ✊🏻👍🏻
Would love to have seen you docking the lengths and whittling the floorboards… great work
Great job! Watching your video from San Antonio, Texas USA 🇺🇸
Very nice dogout! I suppose you have to watch the "drain pit" now and then in case of a long lasting and heavy rain period?!
Beautiful dugout lads it's really so much easier then one person' . Love the teamwork
Parabéns muito bom amei sua cabana linda e você também merece elogios.
You guys did a really good job on that and only 1 reason for that.... God Bless you and Good Luck.... Today, I bet you are really glad you built it !!!! it wont be in vain that's for sure ....
Not a single word was said that day
Perfect just perfect love it so much 💖
beautiful to see father and sons working together👏🙏👍👏🙏👍
Ребята очень трудолюбивые и всегда добиваются своей цели! Похвально, молодцы, интересное видео!
Это ребята новую строят, или это та, что сожгли?
@@НадеждаФилатова-ы8ч сожгли треугольный дом,а на видео совсем другая постройка,видно же издалека))))
@@Ruslan-to5qb Спасибо. Я сомневалась.
Excellent!
A 3" drain pipe in the floor going down that hill would have solved the water issue. It would need to be placed nearly at the start because a trench would need to be dug to place it. Water was an issue in my fox hole. It just seeps in through the clay.
When rain comes wat will happen to dis house
In many og these builds I hsve alwayd wondered about drainage as they dont do it proper, even if you tarp it 360° it will leak
Numero uno👍👍👍👌👏 seniorita
Such a great job. I can only imagine how much work that actually was. Did they not work on it during summer? It seemed to always be rainy and damp out.
I dont know how often you guys use this particular dugout, but I for one, could live in that space happily. Well done 😎😎😎😎👍👍
Crazy to think, in WW2, these types of structures were set up in 2 days by the combat engineers fearing for their lives and trying to protect their brothers. That goes for both sides of the war.

Давно вас смотрю. Качество видео и контент растет. Видно что вы любите то чем занимаетесь. Желаю двигаться по той же дороге, даже если дорога в гору пойдет. Там самое трудное.
So much better than your one screw lodge you did before huh

Привет из России! Меня зовут Дмитрий К. Отличная работа. Вопрос: когда начнёте делать нормальные односкатные крыши? Посмотрите руководство от 1938/42гг.
I think, the water under floor can be a problem in time. Anyway, nice work.
I was thinking that too. I really hope that they didn't just dig a well. Drainage doesn't look like an option.
Watching from Philippines.... amazing talent you have. Staysafe always
I'm waiting for either guy to pause and say (in Russian) "Who's idea was this?"

Absolutely Brilliant Well Made Video Thanks From Blue In England
Great dugout and a lot of hard work. I don't really understand, though, in these dugout/underground shelter, etc. type videos I've watched from various creators, why they all leave the entryways so exposed. The very exterior/ second door should be framed and made to overhang the framing all around instead of a normally hinged door where water can just get in when it rains. A lot of them seem to leave the little entry path and/or steps, etc. so unprotected even after waterproofing the other parts as much as possible.?
Right, my question was what about when it comes to flooding? lol
@@ToolinAround yep.
@@ToolinAround when digging the initial dugout pit, I would dig a trench to a deep French drain outside of the dugout walls and line it all with geotextile. Fill it with rocks and sand and gravel. Bone dry with no bailing. As long as the ground is eventually able to soak it up.. If its all clay it may sit stagnant and keep filling..
@@skeebert yeahhh I was about to say lol, as a Missouri resident our red clay does not allow for such efficient and easy systems. Honestly digging in general is an insane chore because what isn’t clay is rocks
Outstanding Craftsman ship 👍 Pete!!!
c'est très bien comme projet. Mais pourquoi vous construisez sur un point d'eau ?
Why do you burn the wood? I really appreciate your hard work in building cabins…I’m sure the sounds of nature in the forest and the cool animals around you makes it all worth it! Great video! 😍❤
Beautiful dugout! My only concern, like others have, is the moisture. Any evidence of black mold?
Собрали полностью кадры, а я по отдельности смотрела ваше творчество, это лучше конечно, но когда вы разговариваете интересней.
МОЛОДЦЫ
That's such a great build! I am envious of your work ethic and talent. Question: what is the yellow stain -- I am guessing it's a water-proofer? I like the camouflage effect. You are hidden from the world. If things got really bad you could go to this shelter and live there, provided you have enough food and supplies. It would be possible with solar energy, tools, supplies, and hard work. I like this build also because it's solid and winter-proof. It's a great design. Great job!
Things will never go badly for Russians. They know how to survive in any conditions. They are Russians!
