Two grown men making a fort in the woods together. Brings a tear to my eye.
Don’t feel bad I can only cry from 1 eye too. 😜 GeeEyeJoe
see,s to odd to me - if i go camping its my self bring a gun with you for animals cause this year i ran into rabies - its not fun
Love it i need a fort building buddy
You absolutely love to see it.
Not broke back mountain!
And this.... boys and girls, is how Erik Rudolph avoided 200 federal agents for five years, despite the fact that they were using FLIR on choppers, and ground search teams. It just like what Bugs Bunny said, "There ain't no place like a hole in the ground."
Good video on building a hide site.👍
Funny, that’s exactly what this reminded me of.
@@tnridgerunner
Long ago, we'd call these a "spider hole."
Guess they want a bunker instead. Damn good job guys.

That’s how u know u need a life lol
Hell yea!!!
Yeee

yeah specially this time of pandemic 😃
It's important not to leave large bare areas when collecting the detritus to cover the tarp. Its a tell tale sign that someone has camouflaged just such a position. Enjoyed the video .
The best thing we learned from Vietnam. Dig in, keep digging , expand, tunnel multiple egress.
Cost nothing to dig holes.
Yeah and sand bags.
It costs calories
@Brian Chambers it cost nothing to pre dig some fox holes or other...
Yep
Didn't the USA lose Vietnam?
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
Do you build your stealth Shelters in random woods mate? Bec I really wanna do this in the uk but I’m scared of getting caught by the members of the public and then reported to police or council
@@Little_Davee. Which is why you need to know about this. The way things are going…
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.
Excellent!
Are you still looking to find it ????
@@truth-Hurts375 Yes, there may be a reward involved?
Cool story 😅
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.
Great video Guys! I forwarded to my son, with a note of, Next Camping trip, early Winter, at the Continental Divide. We live near Denver, CO. It will be, FUN!
Everybody gangster until the trees start talking Appalachian......
LOL!
Dont worry, its always too cold, too hot, too dry, too wet, too many bugs and too dirty for them anyway. They aint built for this.

Very few videos I've found on building OPLP's and hides. This is a good one.
I love watching shelter building videos. I get really tired of watching people dig a 12x6 hole 4 foot deep, and they never hit a root or rock.
This is now my top favorite video for stealth hole / shelter. I doesn't get any more real.
And that is some of the best camo .
Great job... And thanks for the commandments 😁
Forget a spider hole, that's a spider condo. Solid work as always with these videos. Amazing content
Haha first thing I thought was wow that would be awesome if you needed something made within a couple hours, but if you were gonna leave this thing for a few months there gonna be surprised when a few snakes or badgers make there home in it. I would turn it into a emergency supply cache.
Just bug bomb the absolute living hell out of it. And campsite bomb the surrounding area. Obviously let it air out until you don’t smell the spray anymore.
Just smoke is out. Or get a few barking spiders to chase them out 😉
Planning on doing this at my cabin on the wooded hillside. Also a hidden hatch door under the cabin. It's a good place to keep food refrigerated up north as well. Just be sure no skunks or chucks find it a good homesite
Would moth balls deter skunks and other such vermin?
“Ain’t nobody gonna tell Cornelius Jackson where to live!” 😂

You guys, CRACK. ME. UP! 😅😅
Thank you for all you do. The knowledge and examples are priceless..as is the IMPECCABLE humor. 😂
Oh what fun! I used to love making forts and huts in the woods when I was a kid.
Really enjoying these latest run of videos you guys are putting out.
Great demos, and camaraderie between the two of you. You crack me up.
Great video, fellows!!! Once the work is completed, you guys seem to have a lot of fun!! Alan is turning into a regular comdian!! Love the camaraderie you have!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and also to have fun as well!
The hilarious thing about this is when Alan says, "Imagine doing this for 30 days!"
Like, dude, you did it in a hollow log, in winter, for 50-something days. Eating slugs and kelp. LMAO!
Alan had the calorie game all figured out early. Some of them STILL don’t get it.
I've never even seen this channel but you just got a subscriber for how badass that was alone .... kinda makes me think this is what the viet Kong did in the war and how they did so well against a superior fighting force.
No they actually built miles and miles of multiple layered tunnels
VC. Viet Cong.
Most American grunts are also just not as good at warfighting as they think, they're from a world of comforts fighting masses of hardened peasants for whom death is their daily bread
I'm a useless millenial, trying to leave passivity and embrace my masculinity. This is one of my new favorite videos. I got a lot to learn.
Learning how/where to build one of these "stealth bunkers" is a good skill, as well as good PT...!!!
Oh, and welcome to the real world. I know several millenials that have crossed over into manhood. They're really great guys once they got the hang of it...!!! 👍
@@tommysaulter9171 much thanks and respect sir.
You have found a great channel to learn from. Welcome!
You know your good when you can build a proper hide at night, without leaving any visible trace!
As a kid, we didn't play around too long before someone yelled, " Let's build a look out!" Always robbing Dad of his tools, suppplies, string, ropes, tarps, etc.
This shelter is top notch to disapear quite a while lol I love it , good work boys
Excellent video! Y'all did a great job on that OP. Really well concealed!
Oh my gosh I just got done watching you on TV!
The right of passage in society in transitioning from from child to adulthood really resonated with my wife and I.
I hope your parents are happy with retirement and you and your family is well. God bless and congratulations on winning!
Maybe put down a tarp to lay on as well to try to keep you above water run off and bugs? May also help insulate slightly in cooler temperatures. I feel like that'll turn into a mud puddle without proper water run off, but tbh I know nothing lol
Bro goals man, imagine building this and chilling with your bros
It's a good way to keep the wives from finding u
@@codyayres Something Ive noticed, mom vision isnt just helpful around the house... They really do see everything in the physical world.

Outstanding job through the rock and root!
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.
51 days😅 holy. My longest was 18 days. Four guys in a hide waiting for the target to show. In case it did US planes would deliver a surprise. The smell inside the hide was absolutely horrific the last week.
Having spent enough time in OPs. ... not to shabby but try building it in the dark. ..... fun times
I do have to say this is amazing stealthily shelter.... Well done
My claustrophobia went ballistic just watching this. Watching them shimmy through that small opening to get into the shelter had me saying NO WAY!
I'm with you sister. there's NO WAY, I can't breathe just by looking at them through my screen. 😢
In 25th when we went to light infantry us artillery guys always dug in. We’d either use sandbags on the side or just the the dirt and place a piece of plank wood we’d carry on the hmvees for our C wire as a roof then add the soil and leaves on top and it’d be damn near hard to find also. It’s cool to see a hide being built differently
Great information. Seems like everyone could use a gilly suit and a e tool
Alan is hilarious, looking forward to the twister games in the shelter
Great vid and well documented. Excellent job y’all..!
BEHOLD THE COMMANDMENTS! you always see a bushcrafting video with like almost no humor
this is amazing and the exeption
imagine pooping in the forest and you hear a voice in the ground like "WHAT THE F*K" 😂😂😂
Excellent fit and finish well done, but in my neck of the tropics it would be a swimming pool full of reptiles before the sun went down.
You would need more sand bags and do it above ground but it can be done
Same here in South Louisiana
Is this not Alan who won the alone in the wilderness at Vancouver Island? He was me personal favorite from the beginning :-) Alan you are the MAN of the woods ;-)
sence of humor goes a long way. I really enjoyed it,
thanks guys
When I was in high school my bud and I built a two man ob post using a air force pilot knife and e tool. We used a natural wash in a ravine, opened it up and camo'd the thing out. It took us about 2 1/2 hrs. Damn those where the days camping with bb guns, 10 22s, and 12 guages and full mil kit. Eating beany weeny playing wargames all weekend. Also, does everybody always start to talk British or sad french when dug in?😁
Wouldnt be a bad idea to build the roof strong enough to make a layer of rocks and mud then leaves. So you have a bullet barrier over head. And maybe the hillside wall be a few sandbags deeper for bullet protection.
This is by far the best shelter I’ve seen on UA-cam
If this were a real world scenario you would want to make the top of it more sturdy so that if people were walking around they wouldn't fall right through on top of you and find you. But as an example and a good idea it was fantastic! I wonder what would happen if it started raining?
😂imagine how that would be your hanging out in your foxhole and someone else just falls in and you’re in shock 😅
bathtub... @@bsfishing7073
Hi from New Zealand 👋🏽
Enjoyed watching you all make that hut, totally awesome ❤
Three months later I still say its brilliant. For avoiding an enemy.
You fellas build the coolest forts😁. Hope Mr. Stinky doesn't wander on in to say hello.
I used to build forts like this as a kid, I guess it's never too late to start again this looks like way too much fun!
I’ve watched this video now about 3-4 times..great video..would love to see a follow up or expansion video
That's pretty damn stealthy for sure, the only thing I ask myself is what happens if someone walks across the top of it?
Bite their leg!
Say "ouch, do you mind!?"
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.
@Joseph Hemmer 😂
Simple... execute the E in your PACE plan!!!😊
Really enjoyable video. I would love to do something like this one day!
people on youtube throw around the word STEALTH far too casually when building shelters that are far from stealthy and they have fires and use torches, THIS is a proper stealth shelter, amazing work!!
The dugout has always been my favorite OP LP
This is a grown man fort. I love it.
Now time to build a range card and pull out the dope book.
Data on previous engagements, for those who don't know.
Yes... Y'all should get Twister and try to figure what color is what in near darkness. Yeah that should be fun... Lol
One heck of a great shelter guys! Love it!...
I'd certainly be able to live in something like that long term. And take my military modular sleep system into that with me and such...
The one we learned was cut rectangular in the ground, (with a lip cut around it big enough to hold of 7 inch log) spider-hole entrance under a fallen tree next to us, placing all the dirt even planting flowers back, it took us all night four of us to make it and we were in there with our weapons and rucksacks, a-squad walked over over our hide position to get at the beaver hut these other guy spent 3 guys spent 2 hours on. You could only tell if you stood on it and jumped up and down then you could feel the ground give a little. 82nd scout reconnaissance School 1987
Most Excellent! I would have added more saplings and brush coverage to the top so to deter possible foot traffic and extra stealth.
Loved every second of this🤟🏼 the older gentleman was hilarious
When I was a forward observer this was a reality. Most I did was a week but even 3 days is rough.
I was planning on not putting my folding shovel in my bag, lol after watching this it’s going on top
This channel is too good.
Go to "On 3". It's better.
It's like Laurel and Hardy but survival, special forces, assassin style.

Too much fun. Must be illegal. Good vid, thx for showing and efforts
i really enjoyed watching this video. i mean it, thank you guys for being awesome
I love that you guys have different people doing this you UA-cam page
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.
If you eat nothing but mre’s you may not need to take a dump for a week!
People passing by on the road would think the area haunted from all the wailing coming from underground. In Appalachian no less.
love this...thanks guys for this awesome video... the best stealthy shelter for observing and sniping..Merry Christmas ...from here ..the Philippines
Great job guys that was awesome 👌
I love this, it's another spider hole and they really work!
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
This is amazing, I might build myself one. Thanks and 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?
awesome video brah...I love the thought of building a protective campsite,,stealthy from bigfoot and weaponizing my fort....etc...etc..thanks for video
How has this aged? I'd love to see a follow up vid to this.
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.
Great vid Gentleman. What's total time on the task?? And you guys a R as funny as 2 Woodchucks in the same hole LOL 😆 😆 😆
What a stealth camp. That makes me really jealous 👌😀
That guy is hilarious!!!! Part of maintaining sanity during intense situations is a strong sense of humor. Just make sure no pickled eggs and cabbage are not on the menu.
Digging skills, check. Camouflage skills, check. Sense of humor in a foxhole skills, priceless.
Good job , should be able to keep a close eye on the mary jo wanna field from there 👍
Genuinely enjoyed this
Just from his voice and his jokes, I could instantly tell that it was the season 1 winner from Alone. Awesome work men.
You two have got far too much time on your hands!!! Love it!!!
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.

Hello from Germany, nice Video and good Work.
Thanks😁👍🏻💪🏻
Alan you are the man!!! You were my favorite contestant on Alone. I see you finally got to get close with your son. I'm happy for you Edgar Allen poe!!!! Lol
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.
Do you know what the survival book was called?
An interesting idea for a place with a lot of deciduous trees... In the Pacific Northwest, I'm sure there's some other method to do this by.

Great video guys, very inspirational.
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?
Best English accent from an American I've heard so far haha. Nice shelter. I have to make one of these soon. Subbed!
Loved the Moses stuff!!
