Modified Dugout Shelter

Old video of a dugout shelter...........Demo only

[@Superintendent_ChaImers]

I made one of these in my grandmother's back yard, she thought I was digging her grave.

[@patslate3999]

Lol

[@zino6554]

😂

[@roxannehill8844]

Poor grandma! 🤣🤣🤣

[@B25gunship]

That sandy silt looked way more comfy than just plain dirt that we have here in the northeast. Easier digging too. Just happened on this older video from the Corp. Great to see how his channel has evolved. Always great content.

Another great video. You can definitely use this shelter to hide from unfriendly parties in Escape and Evade scenario. I'm sure if you use a tarp and a ground cloth you can make this type of shelter with minimum effort as you wouldn't need to look for so much plants for insulation and the roof. I'd definitely consider this type of shelter in a WROL/Bug out event where you most likely dont want to be found by starving zombies when you are trying to rest. Thank you for the video. It is thought provoking.

[@recall5811]

yes, but it is definitely hard to do with out water and food

[@glennwebster1675]

there is such a huge difference between survival skills and military training...im waiting for a video that contains the best of both..

[@dmtnw4480]

Thank you for your service, stay safe and healthy during these unsettling times God Bless you

[@here4usa17]

Just found this old video of yours!!! Always great info.

[@dungeonrat]

Just watching this brings back a whole lot of memories from days long past. My back aches just watching this.

[@iliveoutside]

My dog would love going in that thing lol!

[@shanenewport1988]

My dog would have this shelter destroyed in a hour or two.

[@Wingman115]

Well done video. Great training aid. Thanks for posting.

[@recall5811]

Thank you again

[@aaroncross1610]

I knew it was there, but from that distance I would have never seen that rabbit hole you built. I was glad you said something about being in the washout area saying that you wouldn't put it there I was beginning to worry about you there for a second. LOL Always look forward to your videos telling people about you all the time

[@survivalluke9707]

Nice job, i am gonna try this. Hand salute from Estonia

[@recall5811]

+Survival Luke It is in the survival books and it works, but it is a lot of work. Thanks for watching

[@Flippinbiscuits]

This kind of shelter would save my bacon if I was caught out in the bush in winter (northern Canada) and I needed to get out of cold and a little wind. Dig it into a couple feet of snow and use evergreen branches as bedding and roof structure. -20 might actually get cozy. Good to go. This was great, thanks for the demo

[@outlanderbushcraft3100]

Hello mate , great video , cracking stealth shelter , a shelter like that could keep you hidden for quite a while .brilliant atb martin

[@recall5811]

just don't build it in a wash, this was a demo only........thank you for the comments

[@eharris6347]

Pretty cool , but it's kinda just for sleeping right

[@wills_turtles]

It's an entrenched scout/sniper lookout

[@papa-punch]

Game is a good thing

[@mcwooley]

I would love to try this someday! Some additional ideas: -If the tarp is large enough, let's also drape it over the walls and keep it down with rocks -Never build it on ground too HIGH either (lightening strikes) -How can we build a door? I say we weave one into the ceiling. It should let the fire heat in but keep hornets out. Or we could try a big rock(s). Any other ideas? Are these helpful?

[@davidsolomon7377]

I haven’t done one of these in YEARS..... I need to get my scouts to make one next month. They will love it. Most of them are Military brats.

[@patslate3999]

Impressive. ..love it

Outstanding sir

[@itsthatguy169]

Nice video, I am gonna have to try this. But when staying for long periods of time, what do you do about snakes.

[@jenniferroberts9543]

Hi thanks for sharing your info my question is this is it possible to build a large shelter like yours that u can stand up in?I want to build a permenant one that's totally waterproof thankyou

[@craigslitzer4857]

jennifer roberts Native Americans used to do it all the time. I think they called em dug out homes, if you wanna look it up

[@martykillam2549]

What about critters?? Any run in with snakes, scorpions?, etc how do you handle that scenario

[@hunterthompson5596]

this and the marine fighting hole would be great for stealth camping

[@col2959]

And while your sleeping you could trap a wild bore in your bed. But seriously best shelter ever! Ever!!

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

Great job nice shelter. I haven't seen one in a lot of years. Take care Brother. atb Opal

[@addisonfidler959]

Badass AF buddy!

[@barryhopesgthope686]

Where did you film this? It looks like the dry season of the Rio Grande, near Santa Terasa, NM, or Sunland Park NM.

[@Ib313313]

Great video! What do you do for avoiding unwanted pests like snakes?

[@sexysilversurfer]

Joshua Siler I hear snakes like to cuddle with warm bodies. ☹️

[@TJInce]

hand salute thanks I live in a very wet place this helped me

[@OPSTuT]

All the people walking along the beach are wondering what kind of snare trap this ex Vietnam vet is digging. ;) lol

[@DifR42483]

There is really no reason for the leaves, all you have to do is lay the sticks over the dugout and make some mud with water and dirt, and shove the mud in the little cracks and crevasses so water goes not seep through. When you put the sand over it, it will most likely absorb all the moisture.

[@sexysilversurfer]

Tristan H if it rains all that mud will drip all over you.

[@ohno1622]

What do you do with the shelter when your done with the video leave it there or put fill it up again.

[@mojavebohemian814]

Thank you

pickaxe :) . would be major PITA to dig hole like this where i live...

[@RotaryD9750]

Excellent!

[@12villages]

The soil is so loose. Here in india, it's usually sticky mud and heavy too. I know this because I have lot of pets and they pass away 3-4 times a year so I dig.

[@ferebeefamily]

Thank you.

[@HPRT85]

how could i prevent water from coming into the dugout if that is the route i decide to go? i know from the top i can use a tarp but what about the entrance?

[@recall5811]

you could dig a trench or even place a berm around it

[@HPRT85]

was thinking of a trench myself.thank you for the advice.I love you and God bless

[@tonyackrill3718]

never seen this kind of shelter but i have dug a den as a child, only i had a fire inside of it, that was to hide from prying eyes though

[@Deeznuts-el8sd]

respect

[@jkf114]

At least he didn't screw in frogs

[@saitohhajime83]

Why is this shelter not suitable for thsi location?

[@ronnibuck1504]

He built this shelter in an arroyo (dry creek bed) where there is always a risk of flash flooding even if you aren't experiencing any rain at that location. Sheltering in a spot like this could cost you your gear or even your life.

[@saitohhajime83]

ahhhh now i get it! Thanks!

[@eldorkpistolero1555]

what kind of small digging shovel is that

[@Marc83Aus]

Russian trenching shovel. Maybe a cold steel special forces shovel.

[@MrLennybach]

The title reminds me of Coaches Corner. lol

[@sherrattpemberton6089]

how do you stop insects and other animals from making these kinds of shelters homes for themselves?
