    Having built many of these O.P`s this is a bloody good effort you followed the rules and stuck to them , keep the dig as small as possible and shallow as possible people get obsessed with Depth which is not needed in an observation post or belly hide remember all the dug out earth has to be hidden and you get a big thumbs up as you used a natural fold in the ground not just under a bramble bush ( an easy obvious choice to a hunter force ) oh an if you need to crap CLINGFILM first then bag it - smells less wont leak greetings from the U.K

    Finally! A real stealth shelter, I built one when I was about 15 in a strip of trees with tons of kids and foot traffic to a shopping center , it was in a 20 foot wide and 300 feet long strip of trees that didn't get found for about 15 years after I was grown. Someone drove a bulldozer into it. I made mine with a more solid door way , that was completely hidden except the hole to get in and then I cut down a 7 foot tree with a big ball of roots and then when I got inside I pulled the tree into the opening , you absolutely could not see the thing even if you knew it was there , It was about the 100th one I had built and all the others were quickly found.

    I started digging "Forts", with my friends, when I was only six or seven. We upgraded our forts, as we learned more and grew stronger. Worked our way up to Giant Redwood Stumps. Tall and very warm. It was a great way, Time and Location, to growup. Im 64 NOW, and am teaching my SON and his Wife to BE. I didn't have time or a place to do it, when he was still a kid but, I think that if you Love the Outdoors, Your ALLWAYS STILL a Kid at HEART.

    To the 30 days, the longest i have ever been in a Sniper Hide was 51 days, crazy Humidity at 96°f average and the occasional Snake stopping in. Ours was quiet a bit larger since we had the M24 all the way concealed aswell and only the suppressor barely extruding from the view hole and entry to the rear. It took 2 nights of work and in the end the Target never showed but we did get some usable intel.

      People and animals tend to take the easiest path even when cutting through dense brush, so I would imagine you would situate this in an area that is pretty obstructed from most directions to minimise that risk but also has an 'easier path' near it to subtly and subconsciously encourage something or someone to take that route instead, further minimising the chances of them walking over it.
      However by the look of it I'd someone were to walk over it, it may very well hold someone at least briefly anyway it seems quite robust, it would just feel like walking over a mattress or something underfoot I suspect.

    Like the idea.
    Only problem I see is that by cutting into the root system you've made widow makers above your shelter, and when that side of the tree comes down, because of the taproot you cut out, it'll pull your shelter apart.
    Of course this will take years before any of that happens, if at all.

    My hunting buddies and I had a _Honey Hole_ for pigs and deer in NorCal in the 80's. It was very similar to this except that ours was a bit bigger, and we kept improving on it for over eight years. Nobody ever found it until a bad forest fire tore through the area many years after we all left the area. Great Job

    Excellent job of camo on your hide, very hard to pick out. However I doubt you could spend very long observing in the prone position with your heels that high, human body does not like to bend that way. You need to dig down into the hill leaving the top soil undisturbed if possible. What do you do when enemy walk's from behind and steps into your little hut?

    Observation positions are best if they are in a tree with access via rope/rope ladder with an escape system via a 'controlled' slide for life rope to your central area for cooking, supplies, and sleeping area. OP should be temporary watch posts used exclusively for spotting the enemy and small drones with IR capabilities for scouting the area. Just a thought.

    A proper in/out away from the most dangerous direction to leave your post undetected or in cover is missing.
    Other than that it seems to offer some protection. But don’t overestimate the capabilities of a single line of sandbags. Dissimulation looks good, but as I said, won’t matter much if you’re seen crawling in there.

    When I was 14 I got an old army field survival book an it had something like this in it. I always wanted to go camping and couldn't get this idea out of my mind. Me and my neighbor made one in front of a collapsed coal mine. The "room" was about 5x10 we set up a doom tent on the inside and we had 2 wonderful years in it until a family of possums moved in, the smell was unbearable. :( The crabey old man that owned the property never caught us but he came close a few times. Thank you for this video, it brought back some wonderful memories.

    A great demonstration loved it. Also you showed how to use the less than Optimum digging tools then you talked about those tools good thing. If I were intentionally going out to dig a hole especially close to a road I would take full size digging tools and speed the process up and save the back. No Jackhammer just a full size pick & shovel. But I don't identify the tarp it looks pretty rugged what kind is it?
