Good video, it takes a lot of time to make something like this. When I was a teenager my friends and I built something similar to this. We lived out of town and it kept us out of trouble. The place was a great place to camp and party without bothering any parents.Great job it was interesting to watch.

Very good job man. Kid’s pay attention, this is outdoor survival 101. Also notice how he controlled his fire with a pit so you don’t risk setting the forest on fire or himself and was able to keep warm at the same time 👍. The clay provides as a sealant and insulation as well, this is a perfect example of the phrase killing 2 birds with 1 stone.We should all thank this man for teaching us with all his hard work because it’s a time consuming process 👍✌️

I've been in construction for 44 years and you are definitely an artist. You work with nature and plants to provide shelter. I work with plants and nature to provide peace of mind. Very cool!
Wow you’re bringing back memories of my kids used to go out side and do things productively are used to build houses in my neighborhood kids used to compete with each other on who could build the best clubhouse forts
Me too, think we had some of the last best younger years, i would hate to be a kid today, camps, campfire and food with mates taught you more than how to just build a camp.......... oh memories 😂
Realistically this shelter wont protect from most modern day warfare. We also wont be eating prosciutto snd fresh produce. This is like building a dream within a dream.

My Norwegian Great, Great Grandparents-Torvald and Grunnell (sp) immigrated to the U.S. in 1880s; joining a relative in MN. About a dozen people lived in a one room sod house for several years. The first Winter they lived off of a wheat crop and milk from a cow. One terrible Winter, 1888 I think, several people living in normal frame houses froze to death, but not people living in the sod houses. That was the beginning of Hendricks, MN.
My granddad was born in Sweden, his parents moved to South Dakota in the 30s when he was just a boy. He lived a VERY primitive life there until he moved to an amazing place in the 40s. I’m third generation central Sierra Californian and I still think this place is amazing. If we could just get rid of the politicians that the Bay Area and LA chose for us.
@@markprange4386 My maternal grandfather is Danish (Hansen). Also from Hendricks, which is seven miles from SD border. He was a character: born in 1888, married at 40, raised nine children during the depression, twins at 60 (grandmother was 40, played fiddle at barn dances.
Starting with the selection of the place, how to use the tools and how to use the red clay is very wonderful. I also felt very close to the scene of eating raw onions with bacon. Great video!
What'd you like about the raw onions and bacon combo? I love them both, especially onions! But I feel like I'm missing something on that combo unless I'm overthinking 🤔
Try the original, Primitive Technology. His structures at least have the possibility of longevity, and he uses only tools he has created himself from natural resources.
Man! This guy does the best earth works hands down! Would love to have this guy as a friend that's for sure... Well done sir and thanks for all the hard work you put in making these shelters... If I was ever on that show Alone, this is the type of shelter I would build.
I'm actually watching this video, along with others that incorporate something similar and include farming, utilizing scraps and what's around you (like recycling), etc in hopes of going off-grid.
Damn ! I swear this should be a mandatory class . For everyone. Thank you so very much . Cause when I was young I knew certain things can be used if you put the hard work and mental together you get perfection of man . Extra thumbs up on the plastic. Plastic wrap works wonders In a tight spot
This was a fantastic great job. With a lot more time, I can imagine what you could build thanks for sharing. We have lost the ability to survive on our own and with out all the amenity today's life has to offer.
THANKS FOR POSTING ! IF I MAY make a few opinion related suggestions. (I'm NOT trolling! Just pointing out a few things, so to those folks that get their bowels in an uproar about design improvement suggestions, this'll save this fellow a wet butt!) That's a lot of work to build a covered pool. Once it rains, your ramp you so nicely built, will turn into a funnel and won't take long to render all that pretty work into a neck-deep bath-tub. You need to build a cover over your ramp, to keep the rain from falling directly into it. Make it so you can still walk down it, but where rain can't fall into it. You need a "speed-hump" across the entrance of it, to curb in-flowing water. Water seeks it's own level and by design, seeks the lowest levels. Your window WAS just right, till you framed it to hold a couple of gallons of water. Eventually, the plastic will come loose and dump that water onto your fire-pit. Do these changes and you'll have something that will last, for you, or don't do it and you'll be doing some high level cussing, when you have a Toad-Strangler of a storm. THANKS AGAIN for taking the time and initiative to build this structure, and THANKS for posting!
You worry too much for me don't worry I'm fine. This is not a hotel. I'm doing fast and I'm safe from the rain and everything is fine! If I had calculated this way today this shelter it was not built! Thank you very much for your comment there is a sequel to this video soon news
I built something like this albeit it was 6 ft deep and not as nice. It was completely covered even the entry stairs. With that clay soil it turned into basically a bathtub and everything in it got soaked.
I love raw onion what isn't very well known is that they are VERY good for your gut and all digestion if you have whats known as leaky gut onions and yogurt eaten together will cure it.
My Dad used to eat onions just like an apple,, He also ate raw meat ! He was Norwegian so he ate a lot of strange named food !! Never saw him sick ever,
What's Even bettDr pickled onions.....or a whole bowl of. Onions grilled in a pan with real butter....can use garlic in butter....as good as a Martini without the reset of a Martini...and cures DEPRESSION...feeling lousy or desire to commit suicide....havent tried it for murderous rage or hate but BET it works!!Try it!!
I read that you are originally from Romania. I visited/worked there for a short spell - wonderful people and beautiful cities with incredible architecture. Nicely done 'get away' you built.
Spread grass seed or locally suitable ground cover over the mud on the roof, once it starts growing the roots will stabilize the mud and provide better insulation.
@@unga1129 Well I suppose that does make a difference, though I have seen a whole lot of plants happily growing through clay that might as well be concrete out here. Maybe moss would be a better cover for a hard clay...
This shelter required lots of hard work, good skills and creativity! Great job, Athos! In my country, people often eat what you ate in this video - bacon, onions, and bread. Where are you from Athos? Thank you!
In my country, Hungary, in the old times, bacon with onion or garlic and bread was a staple for the poor. That would be their breakfast and lunch and then they would eat a stew type of dish for dinner.
Civil War soldiers used to dig tunnels under their tents and build a crude but efficient system where as the heat from the fire would be drawn through that tunnel and warm their tents. There would be no way they would have time to dig our something like you made. I studied Civil War history and honestly, for the time period, they came up with some great ideas to stay warm.
They probably had time during the winter. Most fighting shut down during late winter because the roads were too muddy for large armies. They'd go into stationary camp for 2-3 months, January to March.
@@zippymufo9765 Nobody digs in frozen ground , its why they bury waterlines in cold climate areas at 5 ft deep and also why new house construction waits until April to start
Yes. World War One was a great time when you were a young man. Millions did not grow old. Live fast, die young. Poison gas, machine gun bullets, but above all, your officers sending you to your funeral, thinking that was normal. That "Let's kill all of our sons" mentality is STILL there. Being far too proud of your country is a fatal mistake! Get that into your blunt brains, please.
The main concern is the rain. I believe the roof can handle the rain, as also the walls. But the main entrance of the house is a down ramp, so as I see, it will get floated easily. Anyway, it's an amazing job!
No, he knows what he's doing. If you pay attention to the beginning of the video, he chose a slightly elevated location to begin with. The ground on the ramp would suck up the water... Not allow it to run over it. It would become muddy but the hut would not flood.
I bet after the first rain in one, a person would notice and be smart enough to find aextremely good way to solve such problem by digging it deeper in another section and allowing it to run off in a great fashion.. easy way to make a super nice toilet if ya ask me. Get it just right. Way deep with atleast some solid tools to legs the rain push it far away after you dispose of it
Maybe that entrance level downward. That's good. My concern is the same construction placed in the north of Sweden with 200 centimeters of snow on top of it... But, at least it will be warm and cosy during the winter.
Like the idea but we get to much rain and it would get really wet/flooded. Would have to elevate it above ground level so it wouldn't become wading pool.
Most forested areas have clay soil, you just need to look for it, usually easy to find near water sources. It has a different colour to the surrounding soil, generally light brown or grey and is much harder than topsoil.
Beautiful job. When my family and I are forced to go off grid for refusing the mark of the beast, I will remember your videos. God bless you, and thank you.
We’re here for the same reason. For the first time in my LIFE, since I was 14 years old... I will be unemployed. 😔 I don’t even know who I am without a job. Worked soo hard all my life. Hopefully all unvaxxers can get together and build a town, but then they’ll send their dogs after us. 😣
Very nicely done friend, where i wouldn't call it a " survival shelter " perse,, it is still flipping awesome and you did a great job with it so far,,, looking forward to seeing what else you do with it ! Two thumbs way up !
The moment I saw you eating bacon like that, it reminded me of my dad when he was alive. He used to eat bacon just like you are with bread, tomato & chillies etc will a small salt pile that he would dip the chillies in 😁
@@Salty_Sassenach cured bacon still not wise. if you're buying bacon from the grocery store or even a butcher, there's no way to guarantee that the bacon has been smoked to that bacteria-killing temperature. And you can get very sick from eating raw or undercooked pork. The most notorious illness is a parasitic infection called trichinellosis, which, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, can cause, "nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, and abdominal discomfort," that can last for months.Long story short? Don't eat raw bacon. Even if it's cured, bacon can still go bad
Absolutely awesome. I'm hoping to move to a very secluded area and plan on using these techniques in my own way. The finished product is beautiful. Now, a video on a simple outhouse - preferably connected by a cave would be sweet.
I like how this video really tells a story. He goes from eating raw bacon off of a stump in the woods, to cooking bacon in a nice, warm clay hut. Well done! Subscribed.
No,no,no! What he eats is "szalonna", it does not ment to be cooked! You eat it with onions and bread. It tastes good fried as well. But you don't cook it.
This is the video that everyone needs to watch when they get kicked out of the house. Make sure to take your dishes with you. Take plenty of bacon and onion. 🍴

i like how the ramp ensures maximum amount of rainwater will go into the hut
Yeah , I keep wondering about drainage, too.
Yeah, way too much work. Just build a lean to above ground and get a nice fire going.

@@markprange4386 My maternal grandfather is Danish (Hansen). Also from Hendricks, which is seven miles from SD border. He was a character: born in 1888, married at 40, raised nine children during the depression, twins at 60 (grandmother was 40, played fiddle at barn dances.

Great video friend. Do more content like this. I wish all viewers good health and a peaceful sky over their heads!!
Starting with the selection of the place, how to use the tools and how to use the red clay is very wonderful. I also felt very close to the scene of eating raw onions with bacon. Great video!
What'd you like about the raw onions and bacon combo? I love them both, especially onions! But I feel like I'm missing something on that combo unless I'm overthinking 🤔
@@88dfletcher I think these man eat the bacon raw which is the point
@@lilwayne9392 I was asking specifically about the combination of the two and the why behind it.
We eat raw salted herring in holland, u could do that with any fish.
so this is why tool albums take so long. good job maynard.
Thanks
Nice. Great comment.
Simply Extraordinary. This is a stark reminder of just how useless my technology and comfort has rendered me.
Thanks
Lol
Try the original, Primitive Technology. His structures at least have the possibility of longevity, and he uses only tools he has created himself from natural resources.
سلام ویدیو خوب و آموزنده وآرام بخشی است.
I can never understand how people can dislike these videos
I think it's the way he cut the bacon and onion. Haha. That was weird ! But that shelter is awesome
Very useful ideas for use by all those who love nature and want to live in it, even for experience.
This will come in handy when we all have nothing and are happy.
The woods are going to be a little over crowded 😁
Most people would die in the first few weeks under Darwinian conditions
The woods over here are already crowded with people walking from one coffee to go to another.
@@headfullofacid8088 My inner Eagle Scout agrees 🦅
Shouldn't most people be moved to cities? More easily controlled there.
All have nothing?. See how many tools this guy used?. Don’t know why he didn’t just bunk down in his tool shed?!
Wow impressive cool stuff!😊
Молодец мужик !Рукастый !
Man! This guy does the best earth works hands down! Would love to have this guy as a friend that's for sure... Well done sir and thanks for all the hard work you put in making these shelters... If I was ever on that show Alone, this is the type of shelter I would build.
Thank you very much man
We all watch this to learn, hoping to never need to use the skills, yet watching, just in case we need them, it'd be good to know these skills.
I'm actually watching this video, along with others that incorporate something similar and include farming, utilizing scraps and what's around you (like recycling), etc in hopes of going off-grid.
Wow you have serious skills. Thanks for sharing.
Damn ! I swear this should be a mandatory class . For everyone. Thank you so very much . Cause when I was young I knew certain things can be used if you put the hard work and mental together you get perfection of man . Extra thumbs up on the plastic. Plastic wrap works wonders In a tight spot
It’s a water trap. This is a terrible design
👍👍
This was a fantastic great job. With a lot more time, I can imagine what you could build thanks for sharing. We have lost the ability to survive on our own and with out all the amenity today's life has to offer.
Thanks
THANKS FOR POSTING !
IF I MAY make a few opinion related suggestions. (I'm NOT trolling! Just pointing out a few things, so to those folks that get their bowels in an uproar about design improvement suggestions, this'll save this fellow a wet butt!)
That's a lot of work to build a covered pool. Once it rains, your ramp you so nicely built, will turn into a funnel and won't take long to render all that pretty work into a neck-deep bath-tub. You need to build a cover over your ramp, to keep the rain from falling directly into it. Make it so you can still walk down it, but where rain can't fall into it. You need a "speed-hump" across the entrance of it, to curb in-flowing water. Water seeks it's own level and by design, seeks the lowest levels. Your window WAS just right, till you framed it to hold a couple of gallons of water. Eventually, the plastic will come loose and dump that water onto your fire-pit. Do these changes and you'll have something that will last, for you, or don't do it and you'll be doing some high level cussing, when you have a Toad-Strangler of a storm.
THANKS AGAIN for taking the time and initiative to build this structure, and THANKS for posting!
You worry too much for me don't worry I'm fine. This is not a hotel. I'm doing fast and I'm safe from the rain and everything is fine! If I had calculated this way today this shelter it was not built! Thank you very much for your comment there is a sequel to this video soon news
I built something like this albeit it was 6 ft deep and not as nice. It was completely covered even the entry stairs. With that clay soil it turned into basically a bathtub and everything in it got soaked.

No one gonna talk about how my man ate that onion raw like he was eating apple chunks?
I love raw onion what isn't very well known is that they are VERY good for your gut and all digestion if you have whats known as leaky gut onions and yogurt eaten together will cure it.
@@jamesmackinlay4477 very interesting 🙏
My Dad used to eat onions just like an apple,, He also ate raw meat ! He was Norwegian so he ate a lot of strange named food !! Never saw him sick ever,
Onion is the best.
I love some onion 🧅
White onions I often eat raw ala carte
What's Even bettDr pickled onions.....or a whole bowl of. Onions grilled in a pan with real butter....can use garlic in butter....as good as a Martini without the reset of a Martini...and cures DEPRESSION...feeling lousy or desire to commit suicide....havent tried it for murderous rage or hate but BET it works!!Try it!!
I read that you are originally from Romania. I visited/worked there for a short spell - wonderful people and beautiful cities with incredible architecture. Nicely done 'get away' you built.
Spread grass seed or locally suitable ground cover over the mud on the roof, once it starts growing the roots will stabilize the mud and provide better insulation.
It was clay.
@@unga1129 Well I suppose that does make a difference, though I have seen a whole lot of plants happily growing through clay that might as well be concrete out here. Maybe moss would be a better cover for a hard clay...
I plant seeds of herbs to prevent erosion that's great 🌿👌
@@ATHOSOutdoorProspector Awesome, can't wait to see how it turns out!
Maybe plant onions. Roof and food. Kill 2 birds with one stone.

This shelter required lots of hard work, good skills and creativity! Great job, Athos! In my country, people often eat what you ate in this video - bacon, onions, and bread. Where are you from Athos? Thank you!
In my country, Hungary, in the old times, bacon with onion or garlic and bread was a staple for the poor. That would be their breakfast and lunch and then they would eat a stew type of dish for dinner.
I am a residential builder and still impressed!
Amazing - simply Amazing!! Well done! Best wishes from Perth Ontario Canada!
Thank you very much man

Civil War soldiers used to dig tunnels under their tents and build a crude but efficient system where as the heat from the fire would be drawn through that tunnel and warm their tents. There would be no way they would have time to dig our something like you made. I studied Civil War history and honestly, for the time period, they came up with some great ideas to stay warm.
They probably had time during the winter. Most fighting shut down during late winter because the roads were too muddy for large armies. They'd go into stationary camp for 2-3 months, January to March.
Really interesting. Any more related gems to share?
@@zippymufo9765 Nobody digs in frozen ground , its why they bury waterlines in cold climate areas at 5 ft deep and also why new house construction waits until April to start
Yes. World War One was a great time when you were a young man. Millions did not grow old. Live fast, die young. Poison gas, machine gun bullets, but above all, your officers sending you to your funeral, thinking that was normal. That "Let's kill all of our sons" mentality is STILL there. Being far too proud of your country is a fatal mistake! Get that into your blunt brains, please.
@@voornaam3191 ya but culling the herd is necessary. Thats why the planet is in trouble now. Too many humans and no way to get rid of them

Great job.. Enjoyed watching.... 👏👏
The main concern is the rain. I believe the roof can handle the rain, as also the walls. But the main entrance of the house is a down ramp, so as I see, it will get floated easily. Anyway, it's an amazing job!
I know......so damn stupid
No, he knows what he's doing. If you pay attention to the beginning of the video, he chose a slightly elevated location to begin with. The ground on the ramp would suck up the water... Not allow it to run over it. It would become muddy but the hut would not flood.
@@JockPuppet I got you. Makes sense!
I bet after the first rain in one, a person would notice and be smart enough to find aextremely good way to solve such problem by digging it deeper in another section and allowing it to run off in a great fashion.. easy way to make a super nice toilet if ya ask me. Get it just right. Way deep with atleast some solid tools to legs the rain push it far away after you dispose of it
Maybe that entrance level downward. That's good. My concern is the same construction placed in the north of Sweden with 200 centimeters of snow on top of it...
But, at least it will be warm and cosy during the winter.
Hats off to you sir, that’s pretty impressive.
I don’t know what’s more manly the fact that he’s out here eating onions raw or the fact that he’s out here building a shelter
Raw onion.
Excellent educational video . There's a good chance the billions of people will need to know this in the very you're!
It helps that he's in a area that looks like it has good clay dirt.
Like the idea but we get to much rain and it would get really wet/flooded. Would have to elevate it above ground level so it wouldn't become wading pool.
@@angelrock8254 unless he's able to do some kind of irrigation to divert the rain water
Most forested areas have clay soil, you just need to look for it, usually easy to find near water sources. It has a different colour to the surrounding soil, generally light brown or grey and is much harder than topsoil.

The moment I saw you eating bacon like that, it reminded me of my dad when he was alive. He used to eat bacon just like you are with bread, tomato & chillies etc will a small salt pile that he would dip the chillies in 😁
Isn't raw bacon gonna make you sick
@@noneyobiz337 It's dry cured bacon.
@@Salty_Sassenach cured bacon still not wise. if you're buying bacon from the grocery store or even a butcher, there's no way to guarantee that the bacon has been smoked to that bacteria-killing temperature. And you can get very sick from eating raw or undercooked pork. The most notorious illness is a parasitic infection called trichinellosis, which, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, can cause, "nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, and abdominal discomfort," that can last for months.Long story short? Don't eat raw bacon. Even if it's cured, bacon can still go bad
Absolutely awesome. I'm hoping to move to a very secluded area and plan on using these techniques in my own way.
The finished product is beautiful.
Now, a video on a simple outhouse - preferably connected by a cave would be sweet.
Brilliant design.
When it's sunny you have a shelter, and when it rains, you have a hot tub.
Yes, it's gonna be a problem IF It rains!!!
More like a cold tub.

I like how this video really tells a story. He goes from eating raw bacon off of a stump in the woods, to cooking bacon in a nice, warm clay hut. Well done! Subscribed.
No,no,no! What he eats is "szalonna", it does not ment to be cooked! You eat it with onions and bread. It tastes good fried as well. But you don't cook it.
This is the video that everyone needs to watch when they get kicked out of the house. Make sure to take your dishes with you. Take plenty of bacon and onion. 🍴
I would take a fork with me too. And the piano. And the sound system. And my wife.... But the wife refuses. So I go back home and be nice to her...!

It's a beautiful house built out of a dugout. But let me guess, when it rains the house floods.
Once the clay has dried, there are no problems.
@@gundelbaldmarenge1620
Doesn’t the water flow in the below grade entrance? Or is there enough of a slope ?
@@gundelbaldmarenge1620 you can deal with that eventuality with French drains and roof eves.
