    About This Video:
    In this video you will see the construction of a dugout in a hillside using hand tools.
    It's a very hard job, but also an interesting experience.
    For construction, I use only dead fallen trees, which I collect in the surrounding forest.

    Sleeping in a sand pit was a bad idea - in the process of drying, the sand gradually crumbled, and with it the stones. It is better never to do this, it can be life threatening.
    Also, the sand that I poured on the roof crumbles a little inside. I'm thinking of fixing this in the future.
    Digging a hole of this size was not as easy as I thought. This took longer than I expected.
    Finding and processing dead fallen trees also takes a significant amount of time.
    But the assembly of the structure itself is quite simple and does not take much effort and time.
    From food I took with me mainly canned food, during the day the air temperature is quite high, the rest of the products can deteriorate.
    But even canned food warmed up on a fire is very tasty after a whole day of work in the fresh air.
    Despite the warm weather, the water in the river is cool, very refreshing and invigorating.
    I fought mosquitoes and midges with the help of fire smoke. Inside the dugout, I set fire to a tinder fungus - it is a natural repellent.
    To be continued.
    Thanks for watching!

    I’ve walked through many forests throughout my life and know you’re not going to find perfect building material that’s all that uniform in size and dryness without first trekking far and wide collecting it. This isn’t that easy. I believe this guy, if working alone, spent a great deal of time, prior, looking for all those logs. I wish they had filmed that part of the process because doing this on your own is lot more difficult and time consuming then we think.

      You are absolutely right. Collecting fallen trees in the area is very difficult and time consuming. I did it alone and for many days.
      But I did not show it in the video, because this is a monotonous and not very interesting process for the viewer - verified. Those who understand - know it without video 😉

      Мои предки тоже сделали немало землянок во время Второй мировой войны. Люди уходили в леса от солдат фашисткой Германии. Оружие в руки брали даже женщины и дети. Был случай когда командиром партизан стал Священник местного деревенского Храма. Нарушение заповеди Не убей он оправдывал что у оккупантов была цель уничтожить весь наш народ. Вот и жили люди в землянках в лесу. Так что мы внуки партизан тоже играя строили убежища в лесу. Смотря это видео возвращаюсь на 50 лет назад, в детство.

    I was in the process of building a small log cabin of similar size next to a Loch (Scottish word for lake). I spent a good part of 3-4 months collecting and notching the wood & was literally about 1 days work away from putting the roof on & a huge storm came and destroyed half the forest. My cabin took a direct hit from a fallen tree and it crushed through the rear wall smashing through about 6 pretty thick logs in the process. I was pretty gutted, but I've discovered a new location thats got 2 natural stone walls that I might make a more dug out style cabin in the future. Would be nice to have it finished for winter :)

    I want to start by saying I enjoyed this video. And I am not saying that it is not possible to do what this guy has done. But if the timeline in the video is not being fudged with, then in the first three days of labour, using a short shovel, a pull saw, and an axe, he made three+ meals a day for himself, found and cut 120+ straight logs, transported them to site, dug a significant hole in the ground, cut and gathered piles of moss and transported IT to site, built the walls and roof of a rough log cabin, and then covered the roof with dirt. That is an absurd amount of work to accomplish with the tools he is shown using and would take an enormous amount of calories.
    I could accept all of this, but what I will not stand for is that I did not see him even ONE time flailing away like a madman at the mosquitoes buzzing around. No one has that sort of mental fortitude. But perhaps that is just a lifetime of living in Northern Ontario that has made me so biased against the mosquito. An insect that I consider to be my personal arch-enemy. One night long ago, while sitting at a campfire at our cabin I accumulated 74 mosquito corpses on the arm of my chair as a warning to this evil species. They did not heed this warning and continued their assault until I was forced into the camp, leaving the carnage of the battlefield strewn with their evil little corpses.

    The geography of where you live is so fascinating! I live in the Mid-Atlantic US and our forests are so different. Deciduous trees varying in height and species and a dense understory of shrubs or ferns occasionally shade flowers. Your forest of tall pine trees you can easily walk through is fascinating to me. Its so old and peaceful. Canada has similar forests to you and going there in the snow was a magical experience.

    I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed

    So cool. I'd suggest for future builds into hillsides like the one you've built into, to not build perpendicular to the slope, but at a 45 degree angle. The back face of your dugout acts as a dam for water absorbed into the ground. If you build at a 45 degree angle, the water will not test the waterproofing so vigorously because you'll have given it an easier path to flow downwards. In case I haven't described it well enough, imagine pouring water on a triangle vs. pouring it on a flat face. The corner of your dugout sort of acts like the bow of a ship, pushing water past it.
