[@Uberragen21]

That’s really cool. I built several tree forts as a teenager and learned a lot from doing so. However, that underground fort is also potentially a death trap. I’m not trying to be harsh, I just don’t want you and your friends to get hurt or die from an engineering mistake. I wouldn’t expect a professional level of engineering for an amateur project like that, but some of the issues I spotted were kind of eye opening. At your age I didn’t have the knowledge either, so take this criticism with a grain of salt and maybe tweak a few things. My suggestions are; get good ventilation ASAP! And I’m not talking about ventilation like opening the window or a fan blowing air inside, just get some large pipes opening up to the outside so airflow can circulate on its own. Without adequate ventilation, that fuel heater is a carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide death trap. The worst part is you wouldn’t even know, you would just slip off asleep and never wake up. The outside door will get snowed shut at that angle without a covering. If you’re inside and get a meter of snow overnight, you will be trapped down there. You may be able to crawl out of the window, but then again, maybe not. And if that window is your primary source of fresh air down there... yeah, not good. Lastly, the stairs shouldn’t be supported solely by nails. There should have been cutouts for the stair treads to rest on (the part you step on). Those nails will rust and the wood hasn’t been dried, so there will be shrinkage and cracking, loosening the nails. Once the nails loosen up there is nothing holding the step in place. Then down you will go... HARD and will likely get impaled by a broken, rusty nail. I hope you’re up to date on your tetanus shot, but that might not be the worst of what could happen when it gives out. Regardless, that’s a pretty awesome build. That would have been super fun to build as a teenager. Have fun enjoying that cool fort. Just be safe. 👍

Beautiful job guys. I really like the large re bar staples. Two things to think about. Its worthwhile to cut new trees for structural stuff, it's a good cause and you need about twelve to twenty paces between each tree, so thinning helps the forest. If that yellow dirt from the hole sticks to your boots, try and make clay with it. The clay is used, after peeling to prevent cracks from spreading in green timber. Also if you take rusty nails, and put them in vinegar, it makes a purple stain, that is used on the end grain, it seems to help. Thanknyou for publishing, what a great team project.

Хорошо, когда молодежь не пьет, а делом занимается! Ребятам респект👍

Lovit. I once built a home from bush materials but not in snow country. Did you need to add a structure over your access door to prevent weight of excessive snow fall blocking you in? Or maybe another escape route?

[@karensimons6885]

What a wonderful work of art and cooperation! Looks cozy enough to stay in for a good long time😊❤️I envy you the good sleep and security from the elements! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks

[@tamifischer4932]

Really nice job! I need one

[@stihlRoush]

Looks like fun! Great work.

[@joshhughes6316]

Great build. I didn't see any drainage for rainy season. Did I miss that part or did you not put in a back fill for drainage like a French drain or a way to xollwct the run off from the roof structure?

[@barbarabonnette2705]

Ha! That’s what I was thinking too! 😊

[@katiegreene3960]

Awesome build. Just curious did you need a sump pump? Or is the water table deep there? Also curious how this would've been done back in the day without tarps...tree bears maybe and more moss?

[@jessmontgomery3454]

Yeah the tarps were the only thing i found jarring. Also very sandy soil there so i guess the ground wasn't too hard after they got through the top soil, although absolutely massive respect in how hard the digging must have been.

Cool to see these fellas working as a team. I need guys like this in my life

[@richardrich4320]

The cleanest construction workers I have ever seen ! The excavator machine most likely behind the scene ! Who are you trying to fool in here ?

[@cherylhamn8226]

Why can't we find some land where homeless can have places like this? At least there not freezing to death in the streets!

[@WaitWhat99]

Really awesome, wish the video went for longer so we can absorb exactly what’s happening 👍👍👍

[@interestingficus2726]

Thanks!

[@sistagalsistagal8136]

[@jerryharkness6140]

Just awesome team work is dream work nice to see people working together in harmony it shows in the end project awesome creation bushcraft at its best survival shack that would work for 3 families wow great job👊learned a lot thanks

[@dkerr4077]

Love these videos, but question below ground construction in such a temporary fashion. What about rain, and snow melt? This might be OK for 1 season.

[@larsstougaard7097]

Looking forward to season 2

[@interestingficus2726]

Thank you!

[@brimbor]

The first frames show traces on the walls from the excavator bucket. Do you think that the audience is idiots and will not notice this?

[@edwardhaynes3550]

Amazing! Wow WOW!

[@chrisdiane8429]
