ALEX WILD dugout life: THUNDERSTORM and RAIN caught me in a LOG CABIN. Part 28

[@ambkbero2]

You should be very proud of the work you have accomplished. There are not enough people today that can tie their own shoes, let alone build an underground cabin. Well done young man!

[@alex-wild]

thank you!

[@reozen8727]

i have noticed other similar channels on youtube, they also build DIY log cabins, but those cabins are NOT VISUALLY HIDDEN ENOUGH. alex's half-underground cabin is perfect in height, it's not too high to be easily noticed from afar nor goes too deep to make people feel weird or depressed. i think alex has made a piece of priceless treasure by building this cabin, not to himself alone, but to everyone who loves this cabin(including me)!

[@cbiln]

I never thought that watching a video like these would be so comforting. I can’t stop watching, it is so relaxing. It’s something I would never be able to do or at least I think. Thanks for the videos!

[@alainvosselman9960]

Lol, i get the same out of it. Had a bit of a rough life recently and watching these videos are so affecting in a positive way. Always enjoyed walks through nature but planning to go for longer hikes now and maybe, some bush crafting.. be well !

Alex, of all the bushcraft videos I've watched, your dugout cabin is my favorite. If I was younger, I'd be out in the woods trying to make a similar one. Unfortunately, I'm no longer able to do that sort of thing. So it brings me great pleasure to watch you build, and improve on, and enjoy you wonderful cabin. I love the way you blacken the wood, I understand that helps to make it waterproof and its also very attractive. I would ask one thing, please don't denigrate (svärta ner) your wife, it seems a petty thing to do. She must be a wonderful woman to give you such freedom to spend so much time in the wilderness. Maybe one day she'll come along and we can meet her too. I wish you the very best, and all the happiness in the world. I also wish I had a dugout cabin like yours. Jag önskar dig lycka och glädje (I hope the online translator got that right)

unless one cant use their limbs they can do similar stuff ... ok sure perhaps not spend 3 years making a nice get away like this ... BUT turning a food garden into a tranquil place while still providing food ... is always possible ... just a few simple things like a hand made bench perhaps a garden table ... maybe a water fall for rain water and garden watering etc ... heck turn the garden into an edible oasis of relaxation ... and you get a similar thing close to home

Spring weather 13:50 the best part about it is the thunderstorms in early spring. I enjoy when all the plants starts to grow. Then the rivers flow heavy, then summer shows up and warm weather. Then you have 🍂 autum windy fall weather, very pleasant. Then comes winter cold fire days....

[@snowysnowyriver]

It's amazing to see your wonderful cabin without the snow! It's looks so different and has the feel of a Hobbit house with the shutter and bird table. The progress you are making, it will be fit for full time living if you needed a place to escape to.

Garden is coming up and your water system is working great. Loved some of the pictures from previous videos. So much work you have done. Finally I always love your meals.

Future project suggestions: add a simple wire mesh (chicken wire) inside the stove pipe to keep birds out, attach a pulley to the skylight so you can open it from inside, sculpt the ground in front of the window so rain/snow/water runs away from the dugout, build some outdoor furniture like adirondack chairs, outdoor stove/oven (maybe a pit you can cover).

probably concrete sealant will work ... i used it before in my previous house basement that was leaking during strong rainstorms ... also added a sump pump in one corner

A simple life deep into the wilderness? You don't know how much I envy you in this moment. Maybe one day I'll find a place where to live like that. I definitely prefer that isolation rather than this chaotic society always to the brink of destruction, unbalanced and hostile. At least nature don't pretends to be civilized or kinda "good". Nature is definitely better. Unfortunately, it's every day more difficult to find a spot without humans around. Truly isolation is a rare thing. 😑
