For your convenience, I have combined all the videos on how I built a warm dugout shelter in 30 days into wild forest on a hillside and not far from the river.
Now you have a unique opportunity to see the entire construction process in just 30 minutes.

What was done:
Dug a hole in the hillside;
Prepared the fallen trunks of dead trees;
Laid down the walls of the dugout and covered them with moss;
Made a waterproof roof, filled it with sand and covered it with turf;
Arranged a comfortable and reliable sunbed inside the dugout;
Made boards by splitting logs and made a door with wooden dowels and a hanging table out of them;
From stones dug out in the sand clay i built a large fireplace inside the dugout;
Made a cool cellar with a stone floor;
Crafted a flexible window;
Made a stone floor into dugout shelter;
For comfortable sleep, I made a pillow and mattress from moss and canvas bags.
In general, a lot of work has been done and I am very glad that I managed to do everything.
There were difficulties and mistakes in the process, but I got an interesting experience and a lot of positive emotions when everything worked out :)
I get asked a lot of questions, I'll answer a few:
- Isn't it damp in the dugout?
Inside the logs are dry, water does not get on them. Apparently water flows down on turf quickly due to the large slope of the hill.
- Is the roof leaking?
I put a waterproof fabric on the roof.
- Do round stones explode in the fireplace?
Stones don't explode. I warmed up the fireplace very slowly and for a long time. Now there is no such danger.
- Why is there a stone floor inside the dugout, and not a wooden one?
The stone floor inside the dugout is made for fire safety. The coals from the fireplace sometimes shoot out and fall to the floor.
Stay safe & thank you for watching!
