[@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.

We finished building our custom build house in 19. We built into the side of a mountain here in north central Washington state. On one side of the house is an oversized 2 car garage. Beside the garage is a 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment with a full kitchen and dining room. Half of the bedroom and all of the bathroom is built into the mountain, as well as the back 1/2 of the garage. The garage and apartment are very well insulated and they stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Our main living area ( a 2 bedroom 2 bath house sits over the garage and apartment). The front door and the garage door are on the ground level in the front. Our front door is on the 2nd level and our back door is also on the second floor but it is also on the ground. Having living areas either under ground or partially under ground is better because the temperature stays about the same year round.

Shout out to the operator of the excavator!!!

[@rdsmith334]

Stay safe guys. I hope this is nothing more than a fun project, and not actually needed as a shelter. I pray that you and your friends stand strong against the communists, fight with honor, remain safe and in good health.

Thanks, yes this is an experiment.

This absolutely blows my mind as to what is possible. And I love the whimsy of these different spaces! ❤️

Thanks, We are from Ukraine

@@interestingficus2726 We in the US are supporting you. God bless. And will you do a video of a thorough walk-thru of your 2 story dugout please?

The commenters are vicious. Looks like you had fun and it's a nice build. Enjoy!

[@pamelaharrison3196]

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.

Not a bad experiment. I would suggest a few changes in material, but this should be an ok structure for 5+ years. Got to admit in 59 years I haven't seen rebar used the way you do in this video. Interesting, I'll have to try some applications with rebar binding. Nice job.

Thanks, this was an experiment.

Какая дружная сплоченная команда, ни одного руководящего указания только стук топоров и шорох песка, похоже на бригаду наемных рабочих((( Землянка большая впечатлило. Не увидел дренажа, дверь установленную под таким углом завалит снегом, а печь Булерьян шумит спать не возможно! Дерево не обработано боюсь всей постройке прослужить лет пять. Но работа проделана большая вызывает уважение....

[@conorduggan6682]

It's such a big project it could do with another video to show more of the completed dugout. Impressive build.

[@peternicholsonu6090]

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?

[@stevecadorette2321]

This is great you and your friends are amazing

[@interestingficus2726]

Thanks

[@cheagle464]

Fantastic example of team work, cooperation, job assignments, dedication and a whole lot of huffing and puffing. 👍👍

Them boys are cold 🥶 I love this ❤hard working young men

[@joffreyverbeeck1640]

Impressive work. Would love to see a tour of this one.

[@interestingficus2726]

Thank you

The use of those U shaped pins to hold logs in place indicates lack of engineering skills and/or laziness. Also, what's going to happen when the light weight plastic canvas decomposes due to the nature of sand being wet year around? One more thing, there are some editing mistakes in your video, such as leaving in evidence that a digger was used do do most of the digging work. Did you remember to do something to divert melted snow and rain?
