You have to feel bad for the imperial German army men forgotten by there own country people who nothing just call then nazis blamed as the evil villain but was not even in the wrong just a war that wiped out a entire generation of brave men it's sad that nowadays it's only ww2 and people never learn about the wars prior to ww2 its honestly sad that my great great grandfather fought for his kaiser and only to be forgotten he survived the war and moved to America starting my dad's side of the family here but still think about it Germany refuses to accept its history and learn about it

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it! :D Tips? BUILD ON THE HIGHEST GROUND POSSIBLE! Add siding to the trenches as soon as possible to prevent erosion. Find a way to drain water out of the trenches when it rains or just buy a good water pump. Place duckboards on the trench floors if you don't want to be sopping with mud. FOR A WAR: no matter what type of soil you dig in, dirt will find a way into EVERYTHING! Keep you gun CLEAN, never set it in the dirt(I suggest not wearing gloves, they will attract dirt to you guns easily). Pack at least 1 change of clothes, make a good cooking station, make a good place to sleep, but most importantly, place as much material(wood, scrap metal) in the trenches where you will be staying. Trust me, rummaging around in the sandy muddy trenches for 24 hours will destroy your morale haha lets just say sand gets in places where sand shouldn't be lol. Also make your trenches wide and big enough so your not constantly crowded by your team! Also a good washing station and latrine would be nice. WAIT ALSO, good eye protection that WON'T fog.... Thats all that I can think of off the top of my head, Hope it helps!!! :DDD Wait... if your digging this by hand, AVOID CLAY! It will be super hard to dig.
Always wanted to dig a trench of my own, but alas, I live in the forests of northern Georgia. All the dirt is clay, and there's roots everywhere making it nearly impossible to dig by hand (not for lack of trying.). I can back up what he said about clay, not only is it extremely heavy, but it's horrible for drainage. Anything you dig in clay that floods does not like to drain on it's own.
Good video, very sad to see how the trenches would have gone away many years ago. The trench that brave soldiers fought and died in. Through the mud and the blood.
Into the Dolomits of my region (Veneto) a lot of trenches are still there... If you want to see them search for Ortigara and Lagazuoi Mountains. It seems the time has stop there
There are still many places where the trenches are still there. Like for example the Dolomites, like previously mentioned, and Verdun amongst other places
Next trench you do may be have ww1 tanks and mortar positions in the trench also get more people to come over to the trenches and make it near that creek area
Me and my friends as kids dug out own trenches in this wooded area in our neighborhood when we were kids and use to play in them all day until it started getting dark. Recently I went back into that wooded area now 36 years old and when I saw what we made and saw how no other kids went back there and played there it was like looking at the trenches of a forgotten time.
Here in Australia we are planning to move to a farm Kina property so I will invest in building a ww1 trench with friends and I will have vehicles air soft planes and since it doesn’t rain in Queensland that often I will be very rare to see a flooded trench. Can’t wait till the next vid off ww1 trench war fare
There are still ww1 trenches and underground paths from ww1 around. Most of them fill with water and preserve whatever is down in the water such as boots and socks.
@@imanalienfromspace321 No, I believe he made it on his own. The fact that he lives in America on its own completely destroys the ability of finding a true WWI era trench. It is well made though.
I have a 2 man trench on my field and it’s right at 5.5 feet so I just have to crouch and I’m hidden but when it floods I just get a bucket and scoop the water out and then redo the sides and it’s good as new
Definitely some uniforms would make it even better :) jeans and shirts do break some of the immersion- but over all a fun and cool project! I envy you guys :)
Did anyone else notice that the music from the start is the same as the part where you play as a pigeon in battlefield 1 through mud and blood and as the pigeon you fly over trenches, nice Easter egg there!
Glad to see you and your friends are taking such an intreste in history, I would like to think we learn from our mistakes and keep remembering them, it's the only way we will become better people..really enjoy your channel
It's crazy to think how haunted that land would be and how many bodies are probably still there left over from the war you just walk around the area and you stumble across a gas mask or something just insane
Tip for getting water out of holes. Get a giant flexible tubey thing, submerge the entire thing under water, pull out one end but make sure ur hand is covering that end so no *SUCC* gets out, take that end to a downhill spot next to the place and release your hand after setting it on the ground. It just comes out just give it a sec. It's basic, many of y'all probably know how to do it, but if it helps then good.
I may be late, 2 months after the bloody conflict, families from both sides came to the trenches their sons fought in, shed their blood for, and died in, and mourned all the dead.
The Germans used concrete in their trenches. And sometimes even working water taps in officers quarters. The British used destroyed trees and scrap any thing because they thought they were not going to be there for long.
I recommend making like a sort of draining system make a small canal inside the trench a little one were the water can go through and hopefully get out of the trench thats what most ww1 trenches had
I seen this comment on another video but I give credits to the person who commented it Some people in the future might wonder what crazy sort of battle happened in this random field, they might think it was a second US Civil war.
Nice. That looks like France circa 1920s. Your trenches were much less substantial than 'proper' main trenches of the most static period. This looks more like 1918 works when the lines were moving again. Battlefield tourism took off within a few years after the war with with plenty of guide books printed. Accomodations were rough so camping encouraged with caveat about making fires cause it could set off unexploded ordinance.
If you had the wood you could have had walls for the trenches. They used wood to keep up the dirt and so then dirt wouldn’t flood into the battlefield and what not. I know i’m late to the vid but meh, i just found your channel and i’m just lookin at it
In 10 years, theres probbaly everywhere gonna be grass, and people, who might see it by wandering past it, will think that it is a real ww2/ww1 trench. The heroes that fought to free our country are gone, but not forgotten
The war may have ended, but the scars still remain.
Very True!
I have a solution use the trenches as rain ditches
SaavageTurtle 41 did you watch the video?
So true ;-;

Now you should make a bunker that is built on a mound that you dug from the dirt around it and make it out of scrap metal wood ect
Definitely some uniforms would make it even better :) jeans and shirts do break some of the immersion- but over all a fun and cool project! I envy you guys :)

Superb use of the messenger Pigeon music from BF1
I just hope some documentary group accidentally assumes your trench is a real world war 1 trench XD
Damn this is nice
Thanks man!!!!!!! :D
Wait what
Very nice cinematography. And with the music. Just wow. Very cool. Just amazing.
November 11 1918 the guns fell silent all around the world and those brave men many would never go home may those souls rest in peace
This shows how hard it was to actually maintain a trench
This is a sad day...so many months put into it...i am inspired to build my own trench
I may be late,
2 months after the bloody conflict, families from both sides came to the trenches their sons fought in, shed their blood for, and died in, and mourned all the dead.
Also I think that you should make something called a sparkler bomb for things like satchel charges
You've created like an entire new habitat from the trenches so cool!
2 months later this is what the western and eastern front would look like
Are these your trenches that you made or are the the real deal in Europe plz say I’m dying to know love your vids
I remember my grampa fought has the Canadian infrantry
I have been learning about ww2 3 years, and WW1 1 year, I am a child, but respect ye dead that never got to see the people cheering after the war
Nice vid bro, keep it up
Thanks dude! ill be sure to! :D
man im french and after 2 war we keept the tranches and is still there
I would love to see them do you know if they keep all the sandbags in some of them
@@theboltonking4204 they have places that its complety intact but sand bags are just very old and falling down
I really wish my friends were more like me and weren’t afraid to get hurt or burnt

Lol
You should do this every like 3-4 months
guessing someones a bf1 fan
OneHitWarrior1 or just a ww1 nerd?
Ngl it is a great game
i love the combination of cinematic and nice music!
You should start a patreon and should build more expensive stuff like concrete pill boxes and buildings
The officers quarters: I thought u loved me father in dying voice
The plants grew in nicely after the fires and stuff
The Germans used concrete in their trenches. And sometimes even working water taps in officers quarters. The British used destroyed trees and scrap any thing because they thought they were not going to be there for long.

Do a scuba dive to find your lost valuables
A good 100-200 years later, archaeologists are going to discover this and get really confused
you should do ww1 film reviews
Now for WW2 to begin
they were fighting in those looking trenches too actually
more trench battle please!!!!
May I ask why did you all stop using them?
Just abandoned battle grounds when once it used to be a full trench is gone and same with no man's land is now a forest and not burned
At least you’ve got a pool now!
R.I.P. no more trench warfare :(
Battlefield 1 memories coming back to me…
People in the future who find this will probably think a battle actually happened there
I honestly plan to Travel to Europe one day, and just dig around for a few years looking for artifacts from The Great War and WW2
Its not that rare as well I found about 50 bulets from a machine gun
It's quite extraordinary that no matter how much we build and destroy, mother nature will still claim in back
There is a sentry kit near your location
All u gotta do is dig a bigger hole or a flood trench so all the water goes into that one hole
i like WW1 because in school they never teach it its all WW2 which i get but WW1 is more interesting and btw i subbed because your 4th of july vid
*The sound of ww1 still echo today and still take live by unexploded altilery Shell*
where are these? looks like a reconstruction / re-enactment
Think about this. In those battlefields some of the bodies of the dead soldiers are still buried beneath the land..
Love the battlefield 1 music
I have wondered if an abandoned trench has turned into a pond or a stream
That looks more like the trenches DURING the war
If you rebuild it, keep the vegetation on the sides for less erosion to happen.
In 10 years, theres probbaly everywhere gonna be grass, and people, who might see it by wandering past it, will think that it is a real ww2/ww1 trench. The heroes that fought to free our country are gone, but not forgotten
