The flood happened again. The water destroyed my dugout. I'm putting things in order.

#bushcraft #dugout #undergroundshelter
Hello everyone, my name is Alexey, I live in Russia in the city of Yekaterinburg. My four-legged friend's name is Pyosel. To make my dog’s name clearer to you, in English it sounds something like “Doggie”
Today I came to the forest alone, it's sultry outside, so the dog stayed at home.
Unfortunately, the water filled the dugout again. I'll pump the water out again. Last time I left the pump inside the dugout, but today it's all soaked. The box absorbed the water and came apart. It is good that the pump was not damaged, because it is designed to work under water.
The iron stove has become dirty, last time I took it outside to dry. Today I wiped the oven from the dust and brought it inside. I can't connect the chimney to the stove, the fact is that the wire that supported the pipe in the hanging position has come off. I replaced the wire and connected the chimney and the stove. After I collected a bucket full of dry twigs, I lit a fire inside the oven to warm the room and evaporate the water.
I pump out the water, but it fills the bottom of the dugout again, I do not know how long it will take. It disappoints me. The longer my shelter is in the water, the worse it gets. Soon the wood will begin to mold and rot. I would like to keep this building so that I can come here in winter.
After the flood, the inside is a mess, all things are scattered. I took some of the boards outside to dry.
From time to time, the pit inside the dugout fills with water again, then I turn on the pump.
Some time ago, it rained in our region, after which the blueberries ripened. I'm going to pick and eat berries.
Today I'm going to cook food in an underground oven. To do this, I need to dig out the chimney and light a fire. I took tomatoes and cucumbers with me to make a salad. I also have potatoes with me, which I want to wrap in foil and bake on coals in an underground oven.
An hour later, I took out the potatoes and they turned out to be raw. He didn't prepare at all, it surprised me and made me laugh. Then I saw that some of the potatoes were cooked, I'm glad of that.
It's getting late. It's time to go home.
Thanks for watching!

What a shame you got flooded again.. I thought it may be the roof then I realised as half of the cabin is underground it’s permeating from the ground up. Not sure what you can do but I’m sure you will sort it out eventually so you can use it in the better weather. I missed Pyosel but I understand why he was left at home. Take care, keep safe. ❤ Dorset, UK

Quel courage Alexey ! Je te souhaite que ta cabane ne soit plus jamais inondée, il doit y avoir une solution. Quant aux myrtilles ça donne envie et c'est excellent pour la vue. Piosel est manquant et je lui envoie plein de caresses depuis la France, cordialement

Alexey, my heart is breaking for you. All the love and dedication you put into that hut. But my friend I agree with your other viewers, perhaps you should start again, but somewhere that isn’t liable to flood. Where is Pyosel? 🙏🏻❤️ Salvage what you can, but please be mindful of bacteria ❤️

maybe you're right, and the dog stayed at home

@@lindaallen78 I know, it sucks. An underground structure is eaiser to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter. But when ground water rises to the point it did this year, underground is no good. An deven when the water is gone, the mold lives on.

Добрый вечер Лёша!Обязательно прокапай траншею и закопай в нее трубу водоотвода как это сделай Лесные тайны - Виктор,прокопай так что бы труба от ямы шла с наклоном,как только появиться вода в яме землянки она сразу же будет утекать наружу через трубу и не будет задерживаться в землянке и тогда не будет так страшно и опасно для землянки.Да это труд что бы выкопать водоотвод,но это просто необходимо,у Виктора было так же,как только он проложил трубу водоотвода,все сразу высохло и теперь воды просто нет, она не скапливается в землянке. Ты не игнарируй совет,а обязательно сделай водоотвод это не слишком сложно,но очень необходимо.После чего просушишь землянку

[@foxymacadoo]

I totally agree. A drainage system will defiantly stop the flooding. If not done then the dugout will just keep flooding and get worse and worse over the years and the dugout will become unrepairable and unlivable by next winter or next summer because of rot and black mold, which can be very dangerous to people. After all the work you put into the dugout, it would be sad if that happened.

[@boblordylordyhowie]

Nice video, I have one suggestion for you, a sump. Dig a hole near the doorway, but away from the supporting posts about 2x the size of the pump in depth, line it with wood so the dirt does not get in, then make a hatch so you can access it without the need to rip up the floor. You could leave a power supply if you were returning soon, so, if it rained again, it would automatically pump the water out.

Alexey I have an idea that would let you keep your dugout . My idea is to raise the floor level well above the high water level mark left on the walls after the flood . You would have to raise the roof level but you could still have a dugout . When I was a boy if our root cellar flooded we would filled the floor up above the high water mark and raise the roof you could do the same and not lose your dugout . I enjoy all your videos and I have faith in your abilities to recover from this problem!!

Sorry your dugout flooded again. I hope with all your hard work you can get it back to normal. I would suggest taking out all of the wood floors and starting with new boards. This would help with any possile mold not seen yet. Or take the old floor outside to dry completely and then retreat with something that prevents mold. Good luck and looking forward to your next adventure. Waiting to see how your house building project is going. And of course, I miss Pyosel as well.

[@occamsrazor7939]

I am sorry this has happened to you, again. You may be below the water level. There are so many beautiful trees in that forest, may be you could build above ground. The good news is you could put in a well and have water all year. When homes get flooded, or a lot of moisture then molds can grow. Molds love warm, darkness and moisture. They can make you very sick. Peace be with you, my brother.
