Building a DUGOUT in the wild forest from start to finish. ONE year in TWO hours - DIY bushcraft

We building this underground shelter - a dugout for survival!
We have a lot of hard work in the wild forest...
From start to finish!
We spent ONE year to do this and make a TWO hours movie to share with you!
Its all DIY!

[@FoxtrotYouniform]

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.

I find it funny that I am incapable of watching a two hour movie, but can sit and watch a two hour bushcraft video.

[@marienichols4799]

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.

[@marienichols4799]

P.S. what about an outhouse???

[@marienichols4799]

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 !!!???

[@OutnBacker]

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.

I wondered if the hole in the floor was the in-house! Would smell awful though.

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.

[@jakecreighton9039]

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.

[@Mecheres]

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?

[@AmbientNoise404]

They literary left that damp ground under there and the water will pool there everytime it rains. all that work for rotting house.

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.

[@ThePaulv12]

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.

[@UTubeQu1che551]

@@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.

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

[@MyTube4Utoo]

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. 😆

[@armandobardo6861]

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.

[@MetaJamm]

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.

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.

[@drawfark]

This is one of my very favorite videos of all time. Wonderful work Gentle Men.

[@thegaminggranny6752]

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

[@thekingsilverado3266]

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.

Great dugout and a lot of hard work.

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.?

Stellar job. I would love to do something like that.

Having seen similar, I would have left space around the steps for rock retaining walls for ferns and candle shelves--lanterns, bird feeder.

Hello, here in Brazil, São Paulo, capital. Your cabin is very interesting. What is the advantage of building underground and the water could not flood it? EXCELLENT construction, hard work. God bless you always!!!

[@kristinabliss]

Yeah, this is cozy... until it rain makes a pool.

[@justinbrown304]

Собрали полностью кадры, а я по отдельности смотрела ваше творчество, это лучше конечно, но когда вы разговариваете интересней. МОЛОДЦЫ

[@normazarr3106]

I loved how you guys got it all tied together at the end. I was worried about the standing water underground though. Missed how you fixed that, but I love the channel, and look forward to seeing the next. GBU.,SM.,NZ, sub from California. ✌❤🤗ness!

I think the trap door and hole function as a kind of sump with the bucket being the manual pump for the sump.

[@LifenaDay525]

Admire all their hard work. I’m no carpenter, but that sunroof frame - three years tops.

[@ИринаКопосова-д2б]

Уже сожгли землянку, и дом ∆ тоже, канал *Лесные* . Поджигателей не нашли.

[@patriciahazeltine9986]

Are you using shellac to finish the wood? If so, with the dampness it may never really dry out and stay tacky. Do you empty the water under the floor regularly? This is an amazing build, and congratulations for your efforts, I think it's wonderful.

[@RayanPersian6366]

Aaaa so the ditch is for water drainage. Amazing

[@markdent4052]

Work and build those arms, at your age you can't believe how important it will become when your 30 years older, trust in that 😎

[@acwest5206]

If you are in snow country, shouldn't your chimney be a bit higher to allow for melting snow around it or even during a blizzard, covering it causing a reduced heat and smoke exit? Just curious.

[@mortiferum87]

They gonna think about it in winter when snow will stop chimney exit. Remember they are russians.

[@mrv2367]

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! 😍❤

[@rosemariepowell9717]

Very hard working guys This is whay you call planning knowing what to do. Using the correct tools and doing what is necessary to finish it Also working as a team.

[@alexnelson8]

Planning would have checked the groundwater level.

[@nidiapillado7130]
