Anyway, who cares
Only someone who has never dug a fox hole by hand, would think you could dig one in 30 minutes.
Right. I've never dug a foxhole but I've dug plenty of holes for deck footers at work (typically at least 24 inches wide, 36 inches deep) so a foxhole is gonna take at least a couple hours. Even longer if the ground is frozen or hard and full of rocks and roots.
@@unkledoda420 In completely frozen ground, empty a full magazine in one spot, dig out the chips, and place a 3-4 ounce charge of C4 in the hole. Set off the charge and start digging. Remember to keep a safe distance from the charge and only use this if the enemy already knows you are there or is nowhere around.
After you have dug a nice hole, they tell you to saddle up, we are moving for the night.
Right? A 4 x 5 hole with what is basically a hand shovel with a wobbly joint? Maybe if they are shooting at you RIGHT NOW you could dig that fast.
Haha, thank god for that! I've done a lot of digging foundations and stuff it's damned hard going!
Band of Brothers, episodes 6 and 7. I swear, every 10 mins the company is running to a foxhole because the German artillery never stops!
Great recall. If I remember correctly I think it was the Bastogne episode where it just straight up artillery every second
Man.... I love band of brothers series
It was a great show. Imagine they didn’t dig foxholes and just sat
@@thanosmaster-abel559 yeah bastogne. And i think it was the real malarky that said the bombing in the show is nowhere near the real deal. In real life it was a much bigger spectacle with way way way bigger explosions and deafening sounds.
One of my dad's friends was in the battle of the bulge. He told me one time about how he was digging a fox hole in the fog and thought the guy next to him was from his own platoon doing the same thing. He looked over again and it was a german kid (soldier) digging his foxhole- they both dove in their holes, neither would come up. He the kid whispered to not shoot at him....he figured neither one of them wanted to die at that moment, lol. So both eventually fell asleep and when he woke up in the morning he yelled to the kid to put his hands up and come out...but he had slipped out sometime during the night.
Of course Japan of all nations calls foxholes “Octopuses”

In my military service I dug a few really great foxholes that I was very pleased with. I impressed a few if my comrades with the speed of my construction, but I never got the opportunity to hold any of them, which still vexes me. I made deep and homely foxholes with plenty of cover, space and camouflage, with pockets for 'nades and spare ammo and even a ledge for sitting and quick exit, but I never got to use'em. But I got really good at it.
Did you have pits dug for grenades to fall into?
What are your feelings about today's drones dropping grenades & mortars into the trenches?
Would you change things up with the design?
In Ukraine both sides are getting DECIMATED in the trenches from the drone warfare.
@@ClickClack_Bamconsumer drones dropping little grenades is very much a Ukrainian thing - the Russians tend to just direct 152mm (or 203mm) artillery fire with drones or employ loitering munition drones like Lancet. Those won't go into a little hole - they make their own.
I think this war will more likely change drones than it will tanks & foxholes. Those will stay, but we may get drone-hunting drones, shotgun shell machine guns (filled with iron shot like for hunting ducks or with expanding nets) etc.
@@AlexKarasev There are armored machines that the US placed in Ukraine that specifically target drones.
@@ClickClack_Bam there are a lot of different & sophisticated machines the US has provided to Ukraine. I mean it sounds like a lot until you divide the quantity by frontline duty cycle and 1000km of front line to calculate coverage per km.
Point being, just like panzerfaust / bazooka / RPG utterly changed things on the battlefield (but when you think if it, things really stayed the same, just evolved) it'll be the same with drones. I'm not well familiar with the psrticular machine you mention, but I'm sure there'll be more of that type, and other countermeasures, and drones will chsnge to try to defeat those, but in the end things will settle to about the same status quo as before at an enhanced level. We like to think gunpowder changed warfare (and it sure did) but there's not a lot of range difference between what a soldier can hit in Ukraine's level of combat stress (ask any elite US soldiers that went) with an AR or AK vs. say a well-thrown spear - and there's at least 3,000yrs between those weapons systems.

HALF AN HOUR? Spending 6 years of my life in the light infantry, unless you are digging in banana pudding, it takes HOURS to dig a deep enough "fraidy hole to stand inside.
I can relate. Its even harder when you have to dig on rocky or forest terrain. This guy probably timed himself while digging a foxhole on the beach.
I absolutely agree. I too was a light infantryman and it takes hours to dig one for sure. Especially in rocky forest ground when youre hitting tree roots every three scoops
Or frozen ground :F It's not fun either.
I thought 1/2 an hour was a bit optimistic.
That's how long a staff officer thinks it takes
It is important to have a sense of humor in a foxhole. What a frightening place to be.

I dug a few in Vietnam and it is hard work even if the soil is not rocky. We usually supplemented foxholes with sandbags (filled,with the same dirt). If we stayed somewhere for more than a couple days it would get some kind of sandbagged roof with a cleared firing position facing the likely line of attack.
If it rained, the whole business of digging and sitting in one became a nightmare.
now imagine being 101st airborne in the battle of the bulge digging a foxhole in the coldest winter recorded in decades. you at least got to dig in a warm and wet place lol.
*this is amazing idea ever made it.*
You shouldn't have been there.
“Remember when you dig these, 6 feet apart guys!”
But I'm tired of digging holes grandpaw... :(
Builds character!
The shallow shell scrape is the first stage in the construction of a modern foxhole/trench. The construction of a foxhole/trench is divided up into several stages. Each stage leaves you with a useful defensive position that can be used if the enemy arrives before you have finished the fully tricked out stage 6 foxhole/trench. You might be able to dig a shell scrape in a half hour, but you will not dig a fully completed foxhole/trench inside a half hour (especially if you are digging on hard ground).
Also, and I get that the definitions for these things can be pretty fuzzy, but calling a turret emplacement a foxhole is a bit of a stretch don't you think?
I think it depends on what you mean by "turret emplacement". If it's an actual mobile turret, that'd be one thing, but it sounds like these were immobile and obsolete turrets thrown-on more as an afterthought. I can see the "this will offer some protection and at least one very narrow field of fire, and we have them and we're desperate, so why not?" logic of the latter approach, but it would still qualify it as a modified foxhole, not a proper turret emplacement that could actually change its direction of fire at all.
*this is amazing idea ever made it.*
My uncle saw a guy in WW2 who had dug a hole the right depth but not nearly wide enough. He told the guy his was big enough for two and nearby. He invited him to share his and they used the abandoned one for a crapper.
30minutes?! When I was in the Finnish Army, at winter when ground was frozen it took couple hours to dig foxhole. I still remember sparks flying when I hit my shovel to stones in the soil.
To be fair Finland is frozen hellhole in winter
@@W0DAN88 winter war and 1943 intensifies
Many years ago I was training with the Canadian special forces and we were conducting war games and I made a fox hole that was so well camouflaged because I was able to cut out these large square pieces of Moss and I camouflaged my fox hole so well With these small saplings that I replanted so they would last a long time. when I went to go inspect it from the front I couldn’t find it on my way back since it was getting dark I was confused as to exactly where my hole was. I found it but was a little embarrassed about it.

@@buddywalstad7658 have you watched *ANY OTHER* videos from this channel, if u haven't your judging someone just because they haven't done enough research for *one* video
The skirmishers trench (what you called "shell scrapes") is still used and is considerably better than the alternative which is no cover at all. The reason that it exists is for when you don't have time to dig a regulation sized fighting hole ("foxhole") which can take hours to dig depending on the terrain and can exhaust the man digging it to a considerable degree.
Ay nice job as always!!
As a former infantryman, I have never dug a foxhole. I served from 88-90, we dug shell-scrapes, usually as a listening/observation post out front of defensive positions, or for heavy weapons like mortars. We were also taught to use them as a rapid defensive position since they only took 2 men 10-15 minutes or so to carve out.
For a sturdier defense, we dug 2-man slit-trenches with an overhead cover. Each trench would be supported using corrugated steel, angle iron and barbed-wire. It could survive being run over by a tank. The overhead cover was at least 60 cm of wood and dirt, in layers, over one half of the trench. The overhead cover area is where you go to stay alive in an artillery barrage. It can withstand a 155-mm shell at low angles, and can have a tank drive over it without collapsing as well. Now, all of that isn't to say that a 2-man slit-trench is a safe place to be when tanks are rolling at you or there is artillery incoming, but they increase your chances of survival a lot. The biggest danger is enemy infantry. They can throw grenades into your hole, or jump in and fight to the death close-quarters. Luckily, I never had to actually fight from a slit-trench.
To counter the grenades and give an advantage at close quarters:
- dig the uncovered part a couple feet deeper
- slope it towards the 1-2 foot step so that a (hopefully uncooked) grenade rolls towards the ledge and the shrapnel is deflected away from occupants in the covered area
- the covered part being raised might also help with drainage in case of rain
I don't have military experience, but these improvements could be nice if someone had a few extra minutes with the shovel.

Half an hour to dig a 4-5ft hole with a little shovel (Etool) is actually pretty tiring.
Not mentioned were grenade kick holes, sandbags, forward observation slit channels with trap doors, rifle ports with interlocking fields of fire, advanced camouflage techniques, anti-trenchfoot platforms and overhead fire protection methods. But, hey...
I love your content!!!
Great to see you so soon
"uhh did i join the military just to dig my own grave?" i bet most of us who enlisted will ask yourself that when digging xD
Sounds about as fun as digging a hole
When my dad was alive, I used to ask him about the war ( WW2 ) I asked him, how was it possible to dig a foxhole with that puny little shovel they gave you? He said, you would be surprised at how fast you can dig a fox hole big enough to hide in with that shovel when people are shooting at you.

Foxhole digging had a very exact process in the army infantryman's handbook we had in 2006 (I got washed out of basic thanks to a knee injury)
If I remember right, they were to be two rifles long by one rifle wide, something like that, as deep as armpit height to the shortest man- that way he could stand and shoot out of it, the taller guys just had to suck it up and crouch a little- and there was to be a trench along the full length of the back of it to kick grenades into. Also, you were to use the dirt you dig out of it to create a slope leading up to the edge of the hole, to make it harder for grenades to roll into it. Finally, if possible, you were to create a solid roof over the top with some of the dirt you dug on top of said roof.
There was a process for shell scrapes too, but we called them hasty holes or hasties. A helmet deep, long and wide enough to lay in with your rucksack at your feet, and the dirt you dug out was to be used to create a slope facing the front, to prevent grenades rolling in. You didn't shoot straight out, over said slope- you were to shoot from it at an angle, from the front corners, creating a crossfire with the men in their hasties on either side of you. You were to stab sticks in the ground for rifle stops, so that you wouldn't swing too far over and shoot towards the hasty next to you in the heat of the moment. Finally, the slope was to be camouflaged to the point where it couldn't be easily identified from 30 paces (I think) in broad daylight. A "pace" being two large steps.
Bro they ate rats I'm surprised people didnt just call it a day and go home.
If they did, it would be considered deserting and they would have been executed.

This was interesting and I like how you told us about the foxholes being like the foxholes ima go watch after I watch this again and then watch the trenches
I served in the Army coming up on 20 years ago. We never dug foxholes because it took too long. We dug hasties. Really shallow pit (about 18" deep) and lay your rucksack directly front of you. Took maybe 30 seconds to do.
Only time I ever dug a foxhole was in Basic and that was in 2002. After that you only dug a hasty because you weren't going to be there long enough to dig a proper hole. Support company or lower enlisted from headquarters would dig them around the battalion TOC when we were doing FTXs, but it was only like 1 or 2 at the checkpoint going to the TOC
Some of the most miserable days of my life have been spent in the field sitting in my fighting hole during the rain or humid days taking fire watch from balls to 0300
Further instructions on dugouts related to how they could support one another and be further improved. Dig out a little elbow rest or simple earth shelves for your stuff or make a little drainage pit for the rain. You can dig out a pit for larger stuff as well, like a mortar position, command position or other company-level support elements.
Best informative channel on youtube
Good video overall. US Army Infantry from 1997-2000, I have dug a LOT of these things. There is however, a small but rather consequential correction that needs to be mentioned.
Foxhole's sides go straight up/down, they're not sloped to make the bottom wider as is stated at 1:34.
Also, there are grenade sumps at each end that are the depth and width of the issued E-Tool. The sides to those go straight up as well - though these were a later addition.
The straight up and down walls of the foxhole (and grenade sumps) direct the concussive force straight up. If you slope the walls inward as they go up, it is going to concentrate the force at the top and redirect it angling down and back towards the opposite end of the foxhole. You don't want that...you want it to go straight up and out because you're most likely going to be as small as possible at the other end - if you weren't able to jump out.
Could you dig one in 30 minutes? :P It seems like a very short amount of time.
@@Lattamonsteri In looser soil with no obstructions and two guys, sure. In hard soil, absolutely not. It is very dependent on things like soil type, rocks, tree roots, etc. I have spent several hours (4 I think) digging one (because the captain said it had to be "right there damnit!") and on a separate occasion, 4 of us got together and dug one in less than 15 minutes.
Also, there are different types of these. The one for the machine gun is dug differently and takes considerably more time...but the one this video is covering is the standard two rifleman foxhole.
@@Adam.Rushing( when i was a conscript in the finnish army we weren't allowed to dig proper holes because we didn't always practice on the army's own land. I think we got to dig "hasties" or those shallow scrapes though. Dunno what the difference is to a landowner but apparently a proper foxhole ruins the environment and a feet-deep hole is absolutely fine - according to our officers :D but boy was it hard.)
I guess it's faster to build a 2-person foxhole than 2 foxholes for a single soldier in each? Or is there a more combat-related reason to have more soldiers in a single hole?
@@Lattamonsteri I think you're right, one 2-person foxhole would be faster than digging two separate holes...unless we're talking about those hasties you spoke of.
The Foxhole (for the US Army anyway) is always a 2 person fighting position. There are many reasons for this but a few are:
Two people can scan/monitor the sector of fire much more efficiently.
One can sleep/eat/go to the bathroom/etc while the other is on guard and no one need get out of the foxhole.
If engaged with the enemy and one has a weapon malfunction, the position can still be defended by the other while the malfunction is addressed.
Twice as many supplies, like ammo/rifles/food, in each fighting position.
If you get injured, you have someone right there to help, like slapping on a tourniquet.
A hole is harmful to the environment???? Someone better tell that to all the volcanoes and rivers cutting their way through rock! Sounds like some political garbage to me. Now, I will say that for something like a training ground, we would always fill them back in when we left. This way the next group got to dig theirs and no one accidentally fell into one. In combat, we didn't care, if we moved forward, we usually just left the foxhole as is. This is mainly because we didn't want to take the time to fill them in, also because if we needed to fall back, we had a fighting position already there.
How long were you in? Most of the conscripts I've talked to it was a 2 year deal.
I always wanted to make it to Finland, never did though...the closest I got was Holland.
@@Adam.Rushing The environmental damage may have been just an excuse :D Can't say for sure. We weren't really pressed for time usually, since we stayed overnight at the same position, so that couldn't have been the reason. But who knows :D Sometimes military things don't make sense to a young man who's still just couple of months into training.
In Finland, if one is chosen for leadership training (they become squad or platoon leader, ranking from corporals to ensign 2nd lieutenants if Google translated the ranks correctly), the service time is 12 months. Some grunts like drivers also stay for 12 months but usually privates only serve 6 months. I was there for 12. And then there are the extra rehearsals but how often, it depends widely, I think.
Of course after that one can choose to stay in the army as a professional trainer or a peacekeeper for the UN or go to military academy. :P
I didn't really enjoy being in the leadership training cuz I struggle under pressure, but I liked to be bossed around cuz I was very fit and liked physical exercise back then :D Nowadays I kinda wished I had pursued a military career. :P
Can you still count with fingers and toes the number of real combat situations you've had or are they so numerous that one loses count?

happy bday
Troops in the Pacific had a rough time with foxholes. In places like Tarawa and Iwo Jima, the loose sand made it hard to dig them. On Cape Gloucester and Okinawa, it rained so much that some men drowned in their holes and on Peleliu, the ground was so had that their shovels snapped before they could try and dig.
