Kevin of Modern Self Reliance digs deep, using the EcoFlow to power his jackhammer, blasting through clay and rock to clear out thousands of pounds of dirt and build a 10 x 10' hidden room underground!
Using the EcoFllow to power his drill and tools, Kevin is able to secure his underground bunker safely, building a wooden frame to add stability and style: his underground bunker feels like home thanks to EcoFlow!
Underground lighting to work safely is no problem, with EcoFlow portable power.
I build an authentic Japanese military spider fox hole with just a few basic tools including a small army shovel, some metal buckets, and some rough saw timbers to help create a safe place to sleep overnight in case of impending war.
A spider hole is mirrors the hole created by a trapdoor spider who will tunnel and then cover the top of the door to conceal itself.
A spider hole is usually shoulder-deep, and round, protective enough to camouflaged lid a solder from attack. A soldier will be able to stand upright and then fire a weapon without being overly exposed. A spider hole is different than a foxhole in that a foxhole is usually deeper and designed to hide or conceal a fighter.
A spider hole is usually hastily dug, whereas a foxhole is done with more care.
Spider holes were used during World War II by Japanese. Saddam Hussein during the Iraq war was captured hiding in a spider hole.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.

Kev, had you considered a static rope between the two exits? Like have it attached to the top of the tunnel so you can just lay down and kind of rope climb/abseil up and down the tunnel with a railing kind of contraption above the entry inside?

[@annewendt8434]

I was thinking that too, only it might be easier if it was under the ramp so you can pull yourself along without reaching above your head.

[@how-to-show]

Had the same thought, and perhaps add some sort of stopping mechanism at the edge so the red rocket doesn’t fly off the shelf

[@jimmychaplin]

Exactly my thoughts. Also, with two pulleys and attached to the cart so you could pull it back and forth.

[@matthewsleppy1118]

Also if you were to put a hand hold over the inside hole you could come up it head first and be able to climb out better.

[@Fit4C]

[@7eardstapa7]

I think if you add a bar to the ceiling above the hole entrance, you can use it to pull yourself out of the hole, and allow you to swing your feet down. That would make using it as an entrance more feasible.

[@ghomerhust]

yes, some sort of handle that could maybe collapse against the wall when not in use

[@Travis4real]

also make the red rocket like 5 feet maybe 5 and a half feet

[@henryrutledge849]

Yes

[@happylittletrees6685]

I had this idea too

[@SeeItLikeItSub2It]

We all think a like. 🤣

[@seanhudson6833]

You should totally put a locking mechanism on the inside of the space and you should put some sort of metal locking grate on the outside to make it look more official and to keep animals and other people out. This is so amazing can not wait to see what else you do.

[@sheldonskaggs138]

was thinking that as well, also some blackout curtains so they cant see the light at the end of the tunnel. Also purchased wood sticking out the tunnel defeats the concealment.

[@spookyweeb5563]

@@sheldonskaggs138 even better would be something like the entrance has to conceal the exit

[@Sean-Jones-bluecheckmark]

A great addition to the spider hole compound. On the underside of the red rocket where you have the side wheels mounted, mount an eye bolt to the ends that way the cart can be pulled back and forth. And it might help going uphill to have something to pull towards the room. Thanks for your content.

[@ghomerhust]

i absolutely agree. an eyelet on each end of the cart, and a rope on 2 pulleys at either end of the track, then it could be pulled both directions, great for moving items on the cart, and possibly even to pull yourself along via the opposing direction's rope.

[@grinning_owl]

Love these DIY videos of your, 2 ideas you might like would be to. 1. Add an under rail pully system so you can send or recover the cart from each end and send supplies down. 2. Add a fan and with a swing mount so you can vent air in or out.

[@SeeItLikeItSub2It]

Yes! He could mount the fan on a bracket on the right side of the door. It will swing to cover the entrance and swing back against the wall.

[@nicholaskarako5701]

I think covering to top portion of your spider hole with a plastic tarp was a good idea to help with water proofing a little better, but without waterproofing the entrance and all four walls the wood going to rot and mold overtime . Not to mention if any animals get in and die down there. There's definitely going to be a miasma of stale air in your spider hole at some point.

[@Miss.Libby.]

Hahaha…that tunnel is so cool! I love that you always add a mighty handful of fun and adventure to your videos. Not only do you always think outside the square; you always get the result you’re after, which is quite innovative in itself. Very entertaining Kevin. 👏🏻🇦🇺🌺🌴

[@mydogjesus]

obviously it's a little too late to make the decline a little deeper on the escape hole, (so that the sled rolls easier to get you out.) But either way it is a great project. It makes me feel like i used to feel when as kids we built forts in the woods for fun. What a great way to relive those days! Epic.

[@sproge2142]

Wow the bunker room is waaay closer to the surface then I expected, at that point one might as well dig from the surface when building it and just cover it with a little bit of dirt when done!

[@andrusleberecht6713]

Apparently, many viewers are interested in the construction of underground rooms, room complexes, etc. You have good ideas and know how to use good techniques that facilitate the construction of rooms and later comfortable use. The intrusion of surface water and/or rain (melted snow) into the building can be a problem, how to prevent or remove it. And of course, next to ventilation, heating and insulation, a toilet is very important. Good luck, I'm looking forward to the next videos on this. Greetings from Estonia!

[@Bannanasammich]

you can put a handle above the door to your emergency exit, almost like a pull up bar(make sure it can hold the weight of a full grown adult) that way if you want to go in foot first or if you use it as an entrance to your base you can either go on your back, or just flip on your back at the end and pull yourself up out of the hole using the handle so that you can still use the ladder foot first

[@TSGEnt]

Miasma used in a sentace: There was a great deal of miasma coming from the spider hole after farting in it. Perhaps a bit of a french drain at the outside end of the escape pipe might prevent a face full of water when exiting when there is rain or water at the end of that pipe.. I know, more digging. Great project!

[@andytosso7460]

I love this project. This episode made me think of the film "The Great Escape" many times.

[@catreader9733]

Earlier this evening, I got close up and personal with some Robertson screws. I wanted to remove a shelf set from the kneehole of a desk, while the desk was against a wall. I would not have been able to loosen the screws in the tight and awkward space if they had been other than Robertson screws. Mission accomplished. I am a fan. The desk was custom built in the USA over 20 years ago. My only other encounter with Robertson screws was in a motorhome that had been fitted out in Canada. The manufacturer thoughtfully included the screwdriver to fit them.

[@glg3945]

Cool addition. You could make a large slot in the door with a sliding door on it so could have open for ventilation whenever you want. Could put wire screening on the outside if it to keep critters out. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 😃

[@kingrafa3938]

I was enjoying myself watching this video. Kev's building idea was fantastic 😂

[@bobbyk6585]

As a bonafide US citizen I will express my preference for the Robertson screw over the Phillips design. Years ago while on a framing crew I learned of the superiority of the Robertson screw for ease of use, especially when the screw needed to be backed out of the wood. Mount a stationary rope at the top of the pipe for escapees to use to pull themselves through.

You could install a small rope on a pulley system at each end to pull you or cargo shipped onto the living space. : )

In case you have a little collapse near the exit door, you still need to be able to open it, i worry your door is too beefy and you may not be able to get through it. Loving these videos btw! I’m making a tunnel in my channel soon! Cheers from spain julian

Use miasma in a sentence: “The dank miasma of the spider hole requires moisture management.” 😂

[@NorthAveBeachBum]

Above the exit door, put a pullup bar above the door hanging from the ceiling. That way when you come in from the exit, you can reach up... grab the pull-up bar and pull yourself up until you get your legs on the ladder.

[@nat5720]

Ride on your back, hand grips on the ceiling of the room for getting in and out of tunnel, and along top of tunnel for pulling yourself along. Most ergonomic way I can hint to do it. Love the build sir!

[@MrGoesBoom]

Looks like a great addition to the spider hole ( well more of a bunker at this point ), but I'm just imagining opening that door and trying to go down the track after a few months/years of it being there unused....and getting ALL the spider webs in the face

You could glue sand dirt and pine needles to the surrounding area and the entrances even if its glued on tarps staked out. And add vibration sensors to alert you of ground instability indicating collapsing ground.

[@tkskagen]

Applying a coating of "cheap bar soap" will help with the caster/wood friction! This reminds me of the Underground Tunnels from the "HOGAN'S HERO'S" television series from the 1970s.

A rope and pulley system would probably be helpful. I wonder though if their might be some way to automate it as well that could be powered by the delta 2, or some kind of hotl for dog's like use of a power drill.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

So...you made a 'Bean hole.'😊 I would have liked you to use a larger culvert. You fellas are CRAZY cheerful!

[@gearhead1234]

A decoy/false inlet upslope nearby in an obvious low spot would further reduce the question of a random pipe outlet on a slope, as people would wonder it’s source.. even cooler would be diversion of a spring seep or natural water source into the pipe to provide a trickle to help explain the use of the pipe to the curious. This water thru the pipe may help cool the shelter as well.

[@lukec22]

you should build a pully system for the trolly system in the tunnel so if you left it on one end you can bring it to u

[@Driveby-Viktum]

If you use the right size Phillips screw head for the right size slot, the driver bit will shear off before it cams out.

Because it’s another entrance, obviously!

[@capthappy345]

Nice sled system. Use a bigger tube 4 more comfort.

[@Wreckz_Tea]

Build a French drain at the entrance of the hole. Where your feet will land when you first drop in. You dig down about 2 more feet and add rocks to fill it back up so your water will drain down there and not roll into your main spot

[@deane9996]

Hey Kev, I'd consider putting a heavy guage, small mesh door on the other end of tube, that opens from inside. Coming out of hole into a tube with a bear, badger, wolverine, skunk, or a pissed off raccoon in it, might not be a good idea. I'd find some way of keeping animals from making escape tube their new condo.

I would say add a bar above the entrance (inside bunker) so you can get out safer if you go head first. Second I would put a rope in but i would put it running underneath the track so you can still use the tunnel for bigger people (less risk of hitting the guideline or anchors)

You will get mold growing fast with that humidity and all that wood. Maybe some type of 12v RV fan to move a bunch of air and a big bucket of silica beads. Two pipes with 90°elbows on them sticking upwards is something they do for air in underground bunkers. You can hide them in anything even an old stump Hogans Heros style! Also if you had a lift handle above the tunnel inside the box you could roll over grab it and pull yourself up and out of the tube easily.

I can see an Ecoflow powered rail system where you push a button and zoom, you automatically ride the rail to either end. Since it will be, way, way easier to get out of the tunnel if you are on your back on the sled where you can just sit up at the end and climb out a ladder,.
