Dugout Shelter Build With Hand Tools- FROM START TO FINISH

Hi everyone!
It is difficult to describe the beauty and magic that nature selflessly gives us in words. Sometimes a man gets lost and takes more than he needs, maybe it's just that in human nature, maybe we just need to satisfy our ego… who will know? The fact is that sooner or later we have to return what we temporarily borrowed for the balance to be met. I am very grateful for everything I have been given to use.
In this video, I will show you how to make a super comfortable camping
dugout with hand tools.
The tools I used to make the dugout were: a shovel, an ax, a survival knife, a saw, and a chisel. You will also see how I arranged my dugout working on outdoor and indoor space aesthetics. In the dugout set up a stove, I had previously made from a motor oil barrel in my home workshop. Among other things, I made and installed a bed, stairs, table, and, bench. It was very fun and pleasant camping. In the dugout, it is very warm and comfortable to sleep in.
To make such a shelter you need to invest some of your time and a lot of physical activity.
I am very grateful to share my forest secret with you.

I came up with a way to modernize dugout survival houses to make them last a multiple decades, won't collapse when it storms, and have utilities and modernized equipment. Currently binge watching dugout videos to see how I want to do it. I'll be using the wood from the land to use as reinforcement for concrete walls and foundation so when it rains the mud won't touch any wood only concrete. Concrete lasts 50-100 years. Looking for the right floor plan to build my dream modernized dugout survival house. It'll have water, electricity, Internet, shower bathroom, bedroom, and will look nice AF.

This is the best shelter style folks! Dugout gives best temperature control. A frame with dugout dirt on top to grow grass and repeal water. The most important part is concealment. Dugout also gives more room downwards. Also hides your fire! But during the invasion it’s best never to use fire because drones will be equipped with thermal detectors. So the dugout is best to stay warm without fire. Awesome construction! My only concern is how to keep rain water from coming in through the door. Also more natural light is gonna be needed
