SURVIVAL EARTH LODGE HOUSE (2) - Building a complete and warm shelter to survive!

Here is a complete shelter with a real fireplace and waterproof roof! A great shelter and one of my best shelters to survive in the woods! Friends this shelter, is exactly the shelter that you needed to survive! In this shelter I usually use dead wood and clay also part of a metal barrel that I just found in the woods! The way to make this shelter belongs totally to me with the traditional and material means found in place. I still have to finish the interior the finishes. At the moment I am in difficult conditions there are eating in the woods I show you in the other episodes with my adventures in the woods.. My little fireplace is really great, amazing warmth. Take a good look at how to make this shelter because it can save your life!
Thank you very much to all for your comments and likes and for your support.
Sincerely Athos

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

been watching these for a few days now and wondering how long do these shelters last? without foundations, i assume weathering, water, erosion, etc. would start to really affect the lower parts of the dwellings even if the rooves and walls are pretty darn secure

[@ddsklokken511]

The mud/clay used for the roofing concerns me. I'd assume without being fired they just erode?

[@emilyh4339]

Traditional iron age roundhouses were built using poles as a support and then with wattle and daub on the walls (basically clay, manure and hay). When I was a young teenager (12-13years) we built one at our middle school. It lasted a good 20 years before it was rebuilt (it was part of the now Ancient Technology Centre). It's surprising how strong these buildings could be. Hope that helps 😊

@@ddsklokken511 The rate of erosion for that clay will depend on both the clay composition and the climate. In more hot, arid parts of the world, clay is a great building component because it tends to be naturally "fired" in the heat of the sun. Minimal rain will also allow the roof to fully dry out between rainfalls.

Rain from the roof will run off and make a fish bowl. Also the rain will make the roof tiles mud again and join you in the fish bowl as well. Also the sun will crack that roof. Fire the roof tiles they are awesome & Make the roof bigger than the dug out part so water can sheet off the roof into a gutter on the ground. Looks great now but serious consideration needed for the rain.

My first thought when I saw the roof tiles was, “ wow, they look amazing too bad he didn’t fire them so they don’t become mud when it rains”

[@barrittstephen2169]

I'm inspired by the concept. This shelter also needs a greater sized dimensional log for the ridge span, and supporting posts. Snow load could seriously compromise this shelter as built. That being said, kudos to this video presenter. I'd like to see how this structure fares through a full year or more of weather stresses on it. I'd be delighted to be shown wrong on my assumptions.

[@supjay3945]

I thought the same, how would the roof hold without firing them? I wasnt sure. But from the comments, it might matter in long run.

[@raramouni]

Yeah should have baked the mud to harden

[@anthonydouglascontares3471]

Considering homes in the American South West and California were made in early times from a mixture of straw and dirt mixed with water to formed bricks that are baked in the hot sun. Today many are still standing from the 1700s when Spain ruled the western part of America's continent. I think this structure will have no trouble standing up against the weather as long it is kept maintained.

The composition of the roof tiles seems to crop up often in these comments. The 'clay' Athos uses does not look at all like the clay we have. The soil almost looks like the volcanic material the Romans used to make hydraulic cement. Its important property was that it cured underwater or in the presence of water. Athos' materials could work better than we understand.

This is beautiful, my concern is the rain destroying the hand made bricks because they were not cooked. My second concern is the rain coming inside from the roof.

[@beggsnachin]

That was my concern as well, having built several cob projects myself. My last was a pottery kiln over a fire pit in the ground. I was drying it with fire from underneath, but the rains came and soaked the clay faster than the fire could dry it and the entire thing collapsed in on itself by morning. I built it on a sturdy wire frame, too. Now imagine that being a house. Another survival video, one of the Ukraine folks, I think... They built a cylindrical clay kiln and painstakingly fired all of his roof tiles one by one. He built a little "lip" on the end of each one and then on his house, he made rows of split sticks that he hung the tile on. Each row of tiles hung on its own stick shelf, sorta. It looked like this, but it was fired clay tiles. For the top, he hung the tile over a log to dry to get the rounded.over shape. Clay gets soggy in the rain and will collapse.

[@R0N1N_78]

I have the same concern this house is collapsing in heavy rain. Even tough it's a nice house. I was wondering all the time when he will build something to prevent the rain flooding the inside of his house as the entrance is perfect for a little river to flow right in... He should have build a drainage around the house so the water gets collected and can flow off...

[@zippyj.r.4486]

The roof issue could likely be solved with thatch grass from the surrounding areas if you wanted to stop rain from soaking in, then you just need to figure out run off. How to stop water from filling up the floor space. Maybe a ditch arou d the parimeter or somethjng to direct the run off.

Where the roof meets the uphill side, there must be a channel to collect and divert water to the sides, otherwise all this water just funnels inside. Also your first course of "shingles" needs a layer under it, because water runs under the shingles the whole way around like this. It would be cool to make a primitive kiln and make fired clay tiles. These dried mud ones will melt in any extended rainstorm.

[@kevinwillis9571]

Thank you Sir Buzz Killington. Just getting to this point was impressive enough. If this were a real life primitive situation, the inhabitants would make the upgrades you mentioned when needed, or as time allowed.

I agree that this is a nice little place to stay in for a short time, but for a more permanent shelter/ home there should be a few adjustments. It might be helpful to watch a video( or read a book) on how to build an authentic round house or long house. Perhaps the local indigenous people would have some ideas as well. My first thoughts ( for a permanent structure) would be to use live wood instead of dead timbers...strength and longevity. Also, the metal drum that was used was pretty rusty and thin. For a longer lifespan of firebox; use a new steel drum( cut to size) or build a stone box/ fireplace. You have lots of great ideas that can be modified to suit the location,materials used and for the time you plan on using this structure. Correct me if I'm wrong,but were the house sits into the bank; rain might collect there and flood the inside. Build a ditch( drain ...run off) to keep it dry inside. You could also collect the water in a barrel. Or, instead if a ditch; level the bank to the roofline. Just my untrained opinion. Great idea and you used some good bushcrafting.

[@christinadavis3518]

If you watch the rest of his video though you’ll see how waterproof he makes it all, from the moss that he layers first down to the clay bricks he makes almost as strong as cement. I’m sure there might be a few leaks as first but rest assured they won’t be there the next night lol. This man is awesome at his skills! It makes me want to go build something like this in my backyard but I don’t have all the access to wood and other resources like him and I definitely don’t have the room lol!! 😂👍😉

[@BaldyBriand]

@@christinadavis3518 think he means where will the rainwater run off too…. it’s watertight that’s for sure…. It’s built with a slope behind it… so with water from the roof and water coming from the slope something could go wrong … I think… 🤔

[@futurecaredesign]

​@@christinadavis3518 Like Brian Doyles says below, I was mostly talking about runoff water. I am pretty sure that roof is water tight! But a water tight roof has to shed its water somewhere, and that somewhere is right next to the wall of his bed.

[@futurecaredesign]

@@BaldyBriand Yes, that is what I was talking about. It wouldn't be a problem in a small downpour the first night or so. But in the long term, as the materials reach a saturation point, that wall would end up getting soft or having water run down it.

[@BaldyBriand]

@@futurecaredesign yep 100% thinking the same

[@baskervillebee6097]

Question: Ferns to me mean plenty of rain. How does the clay and plant-matter mix last without baking? Does the use of the fireplace over time bake it to bricks? I've seen old Adobe houses last in the desert, but didn't expect it in temperate forest. Just wondered. Really like your Hobbit House.

[@libbysevicke-jones3160]

Exactly. Our off the grid here in New Zealand is built on a bank of clay in the bush. Bone dry - hard like concrete - in the summer, and soggy wet in the winter. Love the project but this would be a covered mud pool in our winter. He could build an Adobe oven with a copper coil to turn it into a mineral hot tub. Tourists pay big money to soak in hot mud here in NZ 😂😂 Our neighbours have built an Adobe and cob wood house but it is elevated on the highest part of their property so the water runs off. The house is amazing and took them two years to build.

I'm so intrigued by all the dugout shelters I see being built on youtube. I'm dying to make one! My big question, though, is how do you prevent the floor of the dugout from becoming flooded or a mud pit when it rains??

I only recently found your channel, but I _adore_ your art. Your artistic vision is incredible, and your ability to execute that vision is a joy to watch. Instant sub.

[@JosephDiveley]

It looks wonderful and will be a lot better once you get the door up to keep the bigger critters out. The only thing that worries me is that it looks like you made your hut the lowest spot in the area which means if it rains hard water could end up collecting in your hut through run off and water collection. I would recommend building a small channel to move water away from your hut. I would even build a big hole about 10 feet away and use it at a fresh water rain catchment. Keep up the nice work =)

[@mt5065]

great job, but there is only one problem , when its heavy raining the house is full of water due to the entrance. how do you drain the water ?

After a rainfall isn't all that clay just going to wash away, or does it stay solid?

[@jeremiahslone9762]

Stays solid,look it up it's called Cob Homes they are Amazing!!

[@ps8432]

@@jeremiahslone9762 Yes, but cob usually has a sealer over it, like limewash, to stabilise the exposed surface, to protect against prolonged damp. It doesn't show if the inner is sealed. If not the external will be very susceptible to frosts, as it is not that thick and therefore insulated. I agree the principle good, but wonder about longevity.

[@snowdrop1590]

Excellent video. Appreciate it as the climate region is the same climate I live in. I'd consider paying to go on a course (where you'd probably have to camp out for a week and bring all your own supplies) to learn how to construct a shelter like this. If the mortgage goes down the drain, constructing an Earth Tiny House might be an option. But not in the local park as the local authority Park Warden would chase you off.

Depends on the amount of rain but yeah, not firing the tiles is a good way to have they wash away over time.
