COZY DUGOUT for winter. I met a HARE in the forest, MICE made a mess in an underground house

[@jessicad83]

Don't forget to turn on CC (Closed captions) for Alex's video commentary 😊

[@chriscmoor]

You should staple a layer or two of that heavy gauge foil you used on the wall to the underside of your firepit lid. Protects the wood from charring and reflects the heat back down on whatever you are cooking.

[@margreetanceaux3906]

Over the years, in my tiny cabin in the woods (not remote, but certainly quiet), the mice ate / gnawed the contents of my kitchen cupboard (including the tea-candles), a blanket, sheets, a pillow, the cover of my couch, my electric blanket, and the Christmas lights. The mess was sometimes overwhelming, and whilst I could deal with the droppings, it’s the pee that is most disgusting.

[@patriot1952-os6mh]

Before you leave spread dryer sheets and moth balls around cabin. Mice hate both!

[@declissonolivier9376]

Yeah!!!!! The mouse pee is absolutly disgusting...

[@DiabloOutdoors]

I suggest that you keep everything in metallic containers. The ones for the cookies are perfect since they close very tight.

Alex Hola, no hablo ingles, soy de Chile, me gusta y te sigo, porque no le pones un Candado a la puerta, la dejas bien cerrada, alomejor me vas a decir que no anda nadie, pero uno nunca sabe, me gusta tu Casita, te felicito, cuidate mucho. Saludos.

Another great video from you, glad to see all is well with you. Thanks, it's cold here, stay warm, stay safe

[@Badpammie]

Glad to see you... Grandma's been worried about you son. The dugout looks cozy💕

[@ludwigderzanker9767]

This is a strong breed east by this men I can tell out of the experience!

[@karencarpenter7894]

It's good to see you are doing good and getting back your strength 💪 Awesome video thank you for being there for us every thing looks great those mice can't wait for you to leave so they can have a party 🎉 but you will come back and put then on the go again. Stay safe and warm ❤️ you got good wood to stay warm now. And cooking good food to.

[@OhShush]

Hi Alex, the whole video as always fun & relaxing! TY for the English captions explaining what you're doing, it's just perfect.

[@catherinerose9809]

The grass did very well on this roof. Like how you can stand right outside the door and cook in the pit. I’d say you need a shutter on the window yet. And a roof over the firewood before the snow starts. Nice to see looking so cute and tidy. Make it warm and cozy.🌹🌿

[@duck539]

Your Caardio Is Off The Chart !! Keep Warm ... Stay Safe My Friend !!!

[@carolz5090]

For covering the window, instead of a kitchen towel you might be better served by a quilted or insulating fabric to help keep in the warmth on winter nights, and keep out the heat during summer.

[@debrarice1824]

Thank-you for posting these again. I really missed watching your videos Alex!!

[@LazyCookPete]

Preparing for winter is a lot of hard work. Those mice left a bad mess! I love Ritter Sport hazelnut too, it's my favourite chocolate bar! Great cooking. 👍

[@alicegamble6145]

Great video. Your little hide a way has come such a long way. The lights are awesome.

[@flowerstone]

Mice can get through a 1/4” (6.35mm) so mouse proofing gets interesting. Otherwise a sealed metal container to keep all that “mouse food” in. 😊

[@LinusSolInvictus]

Respect ! 👌☀️

[@reozen8727]

always find your videos cozy and peaceful and definitely loving them. 你的视频太棒了！

[@gehrardmansoif7590]

Double use is definitely a good idea. Kitchen towels may be a bit too thin. Hand towels might be more efficient! Regards from France.

[@marciam6224]

Nice to see you again Alex. Yes a kitchen towel is a good curtain. In my bathroom, I have 2 bath towels as my curtain. It keeps the cold out in the winter. I've never heard of Ritter Sport chocolate before. Here in the USA, my favorite chocolate is Dove Dark Chocolate.

[@carolhesse1054]

Ritter Sport bars are great. I find them in World Market in the USA

[@KyzylReap]

I’ve seen Ritter at Target.

[@railgap]

Ritter Sport can be found here. They're German, and have a SHORT ingredient list you can PRONOUNCE. I sometimes even find them at 7-11 or my local grocer. The marzipan ones are amazing. :)

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

We by the Ritter Sport bars at a couple of local German or Dutch stores in my city. I live in BC.

[@alfredmisterka5880]

I think you are doing a great job building a cabin in the woods it looks very peaceful there were you are God bless you Amen

[@oldkokitsum4022]

You need a metal box (maybe ammo can) to keep something mouse proof. Small metal cabinet would be sweet.

[@robertkepa3005]

Piękna przyroda, super ziemianka, podziwiam i gratuluję wykonania. Skandynawia to moje marzenie, może kiedyś odwiedzę 😃

[@genepatterson4375]

Always so good to see a video from you. Seems like you are always working when at the dugout, the jobs never end do they? Shame some mice got in and made a mess for you, don’t they realize you put stuff around the inside to repel them, they are just disrespectful! 😅 You are always such an excellent cook, making great food. That’s an added treat to your videos. Take care, be safe, stay well.

the mice situation would bother me. the phobia came from childhood experiences It is something to work on which doing all the outdoor acitvities i love to do especially in the woods, forest, parks etc. my entire body reacts its strange!! but such a cute dugout

Soak cotton balls in real peppermint oil, place them in corners and say goodbye to mice and spiders. Replace them with new every 3-4 weeks.

A very peaceful Saturday morning. Thank You

[@alpine_studio]

Great video! I noticed that you are using aluminum foil for cooking a lot, which is actually not very healthy. Aluminum is a neurotoxic metal, that has been linked to health issues, such as Alzheimer's disease. Wrapping something in aluminum foil might not be the biggest problem, but cooking with it is, as well as putting acidic stuff in it, such as citrus and tomatoes. Maybe put parchment paper between the food and the aluminum foil? Stay safe

[@carolynsparks5208]

Good advice.. Think you for the information.

Thanks Karen

[@Spartan_-du9wi]

My first instinct was to say. Put down some mouse glue traps. But then I thought "We are in there world". I guess maybe get some plastic bins with a tight fitting lid for storage of goods when your away? That foil will probably be a nice reflector of heat off the stove! The Outdoor rocket stove was a great idea.

Saludos Alex, me alegra verte bien y cada dia mas fuerte, esta vez la carne quedo genial se veia muy deliciosa, una sugerencia para el problema de los ratones, puede ser llevar al refugio una caja de metal plegable con bisagras y dentro colocar los contenedores de alimentos, puede ser buena idea, disfruto mucho tus videos, son tan relajantes, cuidarte mucho, espero pronto el proximo video, 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭

Hey great video. You should put some foil on the wooden lid you made for outside oven. Just on the bottom part. Just a thought

Thanks for the great content Alex. Be very careful cleaning up after mice. You should wear a mask for sure, as this can make you very sick. I would suggest methods to keep the mice out.

[@cheshkat6321]

I was planning to make this suggestion because I see others also cleanup dugouts and even abandoned cabins with only gloves. Mice poo and urine can make people sick, even when it's dry or old. Sweeping should be done carefully so very little flies into the air where it is breathed into the lungs.

[@ge8448]
