Building dugout survival shelter - Bushcraft log roof, sandbags | ww2 style
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- I build a small dugout house in the woods with dead wood roof and sand bags filled with sand and stone, raised bushcraft bed and cooking firepit. I spend the night alone in ww2 clothing and cook rations that would have been similar to those used in ww2.

This style of shelter was often used in WW2. Soldiers needed to make cover fast with limited tools. Many didn’t even have a roof to them because there wouldn’t have been enough time. If it rained, they got wet, that was just the way it was. I added a small roof to mine. Halfway through the video you will see I am wearing real WW2 trench coat, helmet and belt. I wanted to experience what it would have been like for soldiers to make these, and it was not easy. My aim isn't to be "historically accurate". But more to experience what it may have been like to build one of these, whilst wearing and using some of the items that would have been worn back then. Hope you enjoy the video and you can watch more videos like this here: th-cam.com/play/PLxnadpeGdTxCjzM8ijvkW02wly3O7YUl4.html
"Lose the beard you 'orrible little blighter, or I'll 'ave you up on a charge!"
Was really emotional watching this when you put the soldier uniform on, and also the food you ate had to be well deserved too, the no context or talking really gives you more room to think and feel
I love a good Supercut 😊😊
The way I see it, ignore any complaints of “historical accuracy “ that overlook the clarity and lack of sepia tone of your Digital video camera.
I have an idea for a future project if you are interested. When I was very young our scout group was camping and met a veteran of the First World War whose entire cooking and eating equipment was three large soup ladles and simple Jack knife
Your helmet looks more WW1 to me. Or was that what the Brit's wore in WW2? Great job - that's a lot of quick digging!
Anyone who’s ever dug a hole will truly appreciate watching this. The hard work in this is outstanding.
one time me and a couple friends dug a hole over the course of two weeks and slept in it, it was probably 4 feet deep 6 feet long and 4 feet wide, the most fun I've ever had. we were 13-14 at the time.
My Uncle (one of the band of brothers) fought in WWII, during the Siege of Bastogne in December 1944 between American and German forces at the Belgian town of Bastogne, as part of the larger Battle of the Bulge. He tells (told) the stories of this battle, having to build this type of shelter, where he fought from. The weather was brutal. This shelter, along with excellent marksman skills and true grit, saved his life and the life of others.
Thank you for this great video. Thankfully you didn't dig into large boulders and tree roots. 🌳
Great work. Nice to see period bushcraft like that, which is basically was after all. Just with the massive added threat of death from the enemy.
Thanks! It's just experimental mixed with some re-enactment to be honest. It was hard work and trying to constantly film and change angles sucked. But couldn't imagine doing this whilst living in a constant state of fear from the enemy.
@@TAOutdoors You could have added a friend occasionally lobbing bricks at you just to keep you under stress. What those blokes must have gone through, mostly boredom and cold and then utter terror.
The Audio quality on your videos is remarkable. Is this just your camera microphone or an external set?
Tommy - Spends 3 days digging his trench
Platoon Sgt - "Ok lads, prepare to move"
It really do be like that though..
I didn't think TA Outdoors videos could get any better, then Mike casually deploys the Spam!
Let’s go Brandon!
The man is taking his woodland management seriously and is ready to defend it. I love it!
My Father was in WW11 GERMANY. He was born in 1922. 17 years old when he had to go to war. He lived in dugouts. E was the only one to come HOME from his town. My mom lived a lot in subways in Berlin, GERMANY. They were married 60 year's and 2 months divert happy and peaceful together. My mom lived 96 years. Dad 85 years. Ich lieb dish. InLove you mm and dad. DANKE. THANK YOU. Your only daughter.
World War 11? Are you from the future?
I had 6 relatives of mine that sank on the Bismarck weird war for my family. Had relation on both sides then
@@Unsungh3ro_88 its written like that fool
@@brain8484 it was a joke lol
My father was also in WWII, only he served in one of the Pacific Theaters, Japanese Prisoner for 1 year and 11 months. He was born in 1913;and passed away in 2004. Still miss him every day.
Beautiful I love digging and making shelters a huge pleasure to follow your videos 🙏
Great video. My dad was in the Army Air Corps in WWll. My Uncle Johnny was prisoner in a German POW camp. Loved the bit of history in this video. Love you and your dad. Glad I came across y'all on fb.
Now, that looked exceptionally cold and lonely. But thanks for the demonstration of these valuable survival tactics.
This was an amazing supercut. Thanks for putting it together. A great way to look back on this being built
You're an aiming point private Pullen, Cover that light colored sand and sacks with dry leaves and branches.
I normally am enthralled by your videos. This one is oddly.... Spooky. I think because we all have family that either went through WWI or WWII or some other campaigns, and know full well this is probably all the protection these men had. Then had to abandon them, hurry up to the next position, and start all over again. At this time of year, it makes you truly appreciate what those men fought, suffered and sacrificed for. Great video!
I love the salute to the veterans. Always an inspiration in the videos you come up with. If we don't pass on the knowledge of our history in many ways we're doomed to repeat. But, in this case you never know when this knowledge may just help someone. Great video keep up the good work. 👍
So many ghosts. RIP all who did this when it mattered so much to us all. Wonderful work.
10 out of 10 for using the trenching tool, must have been hard work. But the old school rucksack and spam cooked in a set of mess tins, that is a piece of scout camping nostalgia.
Full props for this one history can be learned from.You know how much hard work it took you to do.Imagine this in sheets of freezing rain, artillery fire and bullets whining everywhere those poor brave souls.Very well done iv just subbed awesome content.Syay safe and well.Tony
The black and white vintage look fade at the end was brill!
Love your videos man! You have inspired me to make a lot of my own bush craft shelters! I have also lured many survival skills from your videos.
Happy New Year 2022, For the Whole Family. Greetings. Thank you for everything 🙏
That’s some beautiful top soil. You could grow a nice garden there
Oh wow I have that exact iron cook set. My wife ordered it for me as a birthday gift from someone in the UK. Love it!
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done. Outstanding!
Wow, such a hard working talented guy! Great way to keep fit & stay prepped 2 in 1
Nice fade to B&W at the end, great touch...!
Great video, you and your dad are really good and honest people.
Thank you , Mike .
🐺
My friends and I are about to build our own and a trench using this video thanks!
Wow! This was very cool to watch.
I'd never want to see another sandbag in my life if I had to do that...Great video
Me encantan estos videos muy buenos saludos desde Monterrey México
Thank you for the video! ♥☺♥
Such a brilliant build and interesting watching. ❤
Great video, Mike. I love those dugout shelters. Reminds me of our country partisans fighting for our freedom! Love these series, keep bringing us!
What is this "freedom" you speak of?
@@born_again_torinos freedon from Soviet Union
@@OrderOfWoods We are losing our freedom here in the U.S.A. 8^(
best TA video ever!
As always, a fantastic video. Thank you so much. God bless you and your family.
Now that was awesome, great video dude. All you where missing was a fighting buddy and a bottle of scotch. LoL. Keep your head down and your gear up brother. Seaya in the next one.
what you mean spend a weekend down a hole in the ground with a guy and a bottle of booze ? . what ever floats your boat
@@brain8484 lol, don't think to much into it friend, it's a military thang. Happy new year brother. 🥳
Loved this build/cook Mike ✊🏼🧐! And wearing the proper attire 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌! Cheers from California 👊🏼😎🤙🏼
awesome job realy like your outfit just like ww2 and awesome shelter looks like you went back in time !
Thanks for the BoB vibes! Happy new year :D
you made that look so easy. thank you
Love this series 👍👍👍
Everything seems so easy to us: the cold, no bugs and snakes, straight wood... impossible to replicate this in south america without gallons of cold beer, too much repellent spray and twice as long time hahaha. Great job, i wish the best to you in 2022.
Major Respect to the men who lived and died for months on end...
Never Forget the price paid for our Freedom. ,.,
Thanks for sharing my friend 🇮🇩
That was so peaceful
Thank you!
I love these !!!!!! Plz keep making them
These WWI and WWII videos are a lot of fun! Keep up the good work.
agree
Have spent many a time digging living spaces. An added concept while digging any trench is the ground must look as though undisturbed in the direction of the enemy. Overall goods job!
Great recap Mike hope too see more in 2022
Just watched the video with you and your Dad and now this one. REALLY enjoyed them. Great videos. Subscribed!!!
I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must have been for both sides to live in dugouts during both wars...
Another excellent video
The difference between an observation post or a listening post or a fighting hole. Remember the grenade sump. I still have an entrenching tool my grandfather replaced the handle in the 1970s. I did a lot of digging in clay back then and joined the army in the meantime. A hell of a lot of work for just one night, but you learn to dig as your life may depend on it. Laziness can kill you.
Great outfit.. that's really a cool addition...
Great video, thanks
Was watching the original series of videos about this project the other day. It’s quite good.
Nice shelter. You can't beat being underground for insulation in the winter and the coolness during the summer. It would not be fun in it if rainwater pooled inside, but your bedding should be high enough to keep you out of the puddle. And the roof would keep a lot of the water from getting in.
Brilliant work buddy
New subscriber here... Love your channel.. Great cinematography on the "solider" walking through the grass.. Beautiful!
It looks like you are ready for war, Mike. lol Great looking shelter and I really enjoyed the way you brought the whole thing together with the WW2 style of clothing and gear.
That spam is a right sod to get out the tin nowadays, bring back the old tin
So great shelter
Nice touch with the coat and helmet!
Trench coat and helmet. Nice touch!
This is the kind of video that gets our kids up and away from the screens! Amen to that!! Thanks 🙏
amen to that!
you have a podcast?
@Forest brothers you have a channel haha?
Now you realize just how crappy it was to be a soldier. Cold, wet, crappy food and my favorite, no sleep to be had during those battles yet men still survived and came home. War really is Hell.
My father lost his eardrum in WWII getting wet in one of those trenches they had to send him to Africa after that.
Super interesting..thank you for that video
Brilliant thanks
Love the effort and time put into this shelter that the guy built. Fair play man, loads of others wouldn't have a Scooby Doo. Happy New Year mate. 👍🇬🇧🏴🏕️🍻
Loved the video. Thank you.
Happy New Year. Hopes for health and happiness from Minnesota
You've gone over 2 mil subscribers!
I wanna do this but I'm 6-05, 400lbs so mine would have to be a little bigger lol. Great video and you brought out the SPAM, Heck Yeah!!
If you want to make it more period correct no open fire and dig a small alcove inside the shelter to cook on and boil water
Great effort great videos
Wow, very nice. I would love to build one of those to survive but with deer, bear, mountain lion, raccoon, possum and other creatures with a little good weight to them, I would have to do it a bit differently. Deer will walk on and jump atop everything. They are extremely heavy and would literally cause a cave-in or breakage. Still, it was fun to see WWII in action. Thanks much.
Really enjoying these WW2 camps! That’s a lot of work to build that shelter but looks really fun!!
Nice job
Wow!! That was cool! TY
that would be awesome for airsoft !
Great Job
Not to detract from the enjoyment and authenticity of the video but while watching it, I had this comical vision of somebody meandering through the woodlands, seeing you dressed like that, sitting at your shelter, and them, rather than realising that you are in the flesh, here and now, mistaking you for a ghost then running off screaming in terror. 😂🤣😂🤣
Seeing the w on your helmet and all I could think was "Put those lights out. Put those ruddy lights out" Dad's Army.
Shelters like this we have in the Kosovo war 1998-1999. Best regards from Serbia.
Perpeck brother 👍👍👍
this is great, I have had such a pleasure to be, 4 years of adventure with you !
I haven’t seen one of your videos in ages, I have no idea why I don’t get notifications any longer. But I’ve sure missed them.
Love from Turkey ❤️
Very good but you certainly took your time, no criticism just would like to see you build one under ‘pressure’ for example 1hour to build until the bombs hypothetically hit or something. ❤
I was half expecting to hear a whistle and a bayonet charge! lol great job, do you keep it intact or do you take it apart when you're done?
Sungguh kreatif.. sukses selalu teman 👍👍
Great video !
Superb that mate , first class.
That's a bold move consuming that much SPAM hahaha.
very awesome
I'm from indonesia, i like it❤
Happy new year to you and family 🍻
7.5 minutes in. No talking. This appears to be an ASMR
goodness you're right. Id didn't realize I was into that sort of thing lol
Keep up the awesome work man love the videos
