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 😉 Have a nice day man 🤠🤝
maybe you should show a bit of that footage because a lot of people out there just waiting for this kind of vid to try shut you down and say its fake. i believe you, but show it for the sake of the idiots out there
Depending on your level of skill but knowing many different trades and being able to do what this man can and shown us is as easy or as hard as one wants do it right the first time perfect but it will have to do a man my junior told me
@@ferna8397A the problem isn't that people try to shut this down, the problem is the huge amount of fakers out there. And now that more and more people are aware of these fakers, when they see something slightly suspicious it puts them in the mentality that it's fake. You can't blame them, blame the assholes that fake their videos.
@@AsbjornOlsenBergBushcraft Well deserved comment. This was visually quite enjoyable to watch, and your work is steady and focused. I live in Oregon, where we have clay for soil, and this would be super in that- Although a wee bit more challenging to dig..
after building around 5 full on sheters and 1 dugout, I can confirm that this is the most beautiful dirt I have ever seen. No roots, no giant rocks, no underground hidden wells of water, just plain beautiful dirt. Nowhere to be found in my forests haha Great build, so much respect for you and everybody who builds and films stuff like this. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
Yes, I am very lucky with the soil in this place. To be honest, I did not expect that everything would be so good! And there was great joy when I stumbled upon round stones. I immediately thought - there will be a fireplace inside the dugout :) Good luck and stay safe.
@@AsbjornOlsenBergBushcraft I would like to ask, if you don't mind.... where is this filmed? What part of the world, not specifically the lat/ lon....?
Those rocks really tell a story. Just a few layers down, a bed of smooth river rock. Which means the stream - now so far below - once ran exactly where he's building. A record of ancient history, a few centimeters of earth at a time.
Bro, nobody would consider it to be cheating if you packed a full length shovel into the woods. The fact that you did all that work with an E-Tool is crazy. Made my back hurt just watching it. Amazing work.
lol? This clearly wasn't done solely using that tool. Look at the conformity of the walls. An 8" spade isn't doing that. And he has no dirt on him the entire video. Still a great video.
Man I can't even imagine the amount of effort he put into finding logs that are also so perfect and similar this is really the most amazing thing I've ever seen
This forest is clearly a typical Nordic forest, more like a pine fields than a forest in it's natural state. That could explain why the logs found are so similar - most of the trees there were planted same year. The ground took my attention -it's a dry moren hill in a steep slope, perfect place to build!
These bushcraft videos never get old. This is the kind of thing you always imagine doing when you are a kid out in the woods. As an adult you want to even more just to get out of the hustle and bustle of the daily life. So peaceful out in God's country. Also to add that saw of yours is a beast. I want one.
yes so peaceful and yet so boring who wants to live like this. yes you can do all of this but you will probably be alone for the rest of your life since no woman is going to want to be that uncomfortable. And what do you think he does when he is hungry, he has to either hunt or fish or grow a garden and then when he gets back he has to skin it cook it store it. you are not seeing the reality of this way of life and to fantasize about this is just silly
@@tracyhipps5672 on the other hand who wants to live a boring suburban life like everybody else while working a boring 9-5 job while you do useless crap?
During my childhood in the woods of southern New Jersey in the late 70s/early 80s, we built many dugout “forts”. They weren’t this elaborate and nice but I remember digging and collecting logs for days with good friends. Thanks for bringing back fond memories.
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 :)
@@dislikebutton1712 haha for sure my notching got significantly better about halfway through the build. Luckily there's no shortage of wood as there's still a lot of trees down from that particular storm.
That 19:54 shot is so unique! Pure beauty and elegance Capturing the night sky, stars, smoke from the fire, listening to the fire crackling, and the bird chirping. Just bliss.
Quite possibly the luckiest backwoodsman I've EVER seen! Nice sandy soil AND those rocks he dug up were incredibly clean. Wish I could find land like this near me.
yes perfectly round rocks the sort that only exist in rivers, interesting how he dug them out of the ground... and all on one level in one place... cant possibly be faked and planted :'D
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.
Hello! Yes, our forest is very beautiful and at the same time diverse! I like its northern rugged beauty. I have always wanted to visit another continent and maybe one day I will come to Canada.
I've done a lot of digging as a young man for work. I was impressed that you could dig a hole that deep with just an entrenching tool alone in less than a day. My hands hurt when you went through the layer of river stones, it's not easy work, especially with just that. Well done.
No music. No talking. Great. I fell alleen on the couch and had a short rest I needed. Woke up later and saw you finishing your shelter. It looks wonderful and it's obvious you respect nature and treat nature with respect. I have a hammock and tarp and hope to go out soon again. Unfortunately in The Netherlands possibilities are limited. Too many rules.
That has to be the easiest soil to dig I've ever seen! In the UK, digging that far down and you'd either be stood in an oozing bog, or you'd need pneumatic drill to get past the solid, compacted clay or rock! Lovely build. Very peaceful video.
Well, in the UK the whole thing would have gone wrong at 05:00. Taking water out of a creek is not a good idea in Blighty, unless you fancy cooked turd for dinner.
If I’m not mistaken, in the UK you would stop for 11x a day for tea, it would rain nonstop, you would have two labor strikes and a royal die, before an American finishes the work.
As someone who despises tiny flying insects, I've got to say I was really impressed with your tolerance to all the obnoxious buzzing. I stopped going into the woods during the summer when I realized that those bugs thrive in warmer climates.
I believe the mushroom he was burning was producing bug repellent smoke. Do some extensive research and maybe you'll find the right mushroom when you go camping next.
For anyone curious about the shelf mushroom. Burning different species can provide numerous benefits, like insecticide smoke, and disinfecting properties. It smells good too.
And the bark of pine trees can be eaten to stave off dehydration and those little nubbins that he ate off the tree are a good source of protein and fiber
no way that whole place was dug with a camp shovel even with all that sand looks like an old river bed I would be panning to see if it had gold in it lol nice set up very cool place would love to spend a few days there myself great job
I've veiwed so many off grid builds, shelters, etc, but this one is very unique in the thought process of great design of simplicity. Thank you for the insperation.
I think this is genuinely one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. So serene and peaceful. You’re a very lucky - and talented - individual sir!
These bushcraft videos are the real deal. They BLOW AWAY make believe, TV reality "wilderness" shows. Especially this one. This is a beautiful dugout. Very well built. The fallen trees you harvested are absolutely PERFECT - very straight which makes them much easier to use for your walls.
Mukemmel ahşap kulube ve magara karisimi teknigi! Çok iyi iş çıkardınız, Yoldaş. Sizin aynı tekniğinizi gelecek sene Asya'da bambu ile deneyeceğim. Kanada'dan sevgiler. Невероятная архитектура бревенчатого дома! Вы очень хорошо справились, товарищ. В следующем году я попробую ту же технику с бамбуком в Азии. Привет из Канады.
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.
I prefer karst with year-around ice inside on the hottest summers. Best boiled first for a swallow. For vampire bites I'd recommend sleeping naked on sandy beaches in Belize.
I sometimes wonder if these people are really building these things themselves or they getting help. If they’re really building them. That’s real talent.
It still makes my back hurt thinking about all that digging with that small shovel. 😟 On a more positive note the patterns on the logs were gorgeous and fascinating as were the drone shots 👍🏻 Thanks for such a great vid!
Very impressed. To have the patience and time to do this, is a skill that I don't really have. Although, this is an inspiring video. It shows how patience is key, and to keep moving forward. This will hopefully give me, and other people the courage to do something like this.
The tools he's using, my grandpa passed them down to my dad, same ones. Nice to see how they're used. My grandpa was born in 1898, bet my grandpa's tools were passed down from his father too. I'll tell you what they all were in mint condition with exception if his pick ax, but it was still in great condition my dad actually used it to dig up old huge tree stumps in our back yard when I was a little girl
This is Scandinavia. The type of landscape is called a "moraine ridge", they are all over the place here. They were created by the retreating and melting ice during the last ice age. The rocks are round because they have been tumbled for thousands of years. The ice age landscape formations has a lot weirder things than this. Look up "Giant's Kettle". Perfectly cylindrical holes drilled through the bedrock. Of course the sand isn't home to tree roots, you can't plant fir trees in sand. Where the sand doesn't contain nutrients (and it's therefore "clean"), there will not be tree roots. -Koshikei
Man, my back hurt just thinking about the effort made to construct that lodging. It must have taken weeks just finding the perfect spot, the uniformed logs, nevermind cutting and carrying each log. Even if this man had help it is still good work. Well done.
I've built small dugouts. It's real work. This guy's work is far beyond what I ever did, in size, sophistication, and comfort. That said, it's not so different in basics, and this *is* do-able with basic skills and much determination.
What a thoroughly enjoyable video! The skills to do what you did outdoors, the skills to do what you did with the camera (which looked very natural and made me feel almost as though I were there) and the honesty to say where you did not do so well. As a boy and a younger man I spent two or three weeks like this every year in the Welsh mountains. You gave me a great feeling of reminiscence with this video. Thanks from Japan.
That was great! The soft sandy soil was a blessing. Around where I live, it can take hours just to dig a post hole due to hard clay soil and stubborn roots.
I really enjoy your craftsmanship, construction and use of different materials for each of your projects! You make it so easy and simple yet it’s much much more than that! Keep up the good work man.
Well this hiking shovel can literally kill your back .. can't imagine how it might feel digging such a big hole with such a tiny thing .. just wow! :))
I thought the dugout was "Brilliant". A true work of art. I watch you all the way through from start to finish. I'm from Christchurch, Canterbury Province, South Island, New Zealand, would love to see you do bush craft down here one day 💖
Hello! I am very glad that you follow my work :) Thank you for this! I would really like to visit all the places on our Earth, but it is not always in my power. New Zealand is not yet within reach for me. But maybe one good day, I'll be here :) Be healthy! 🤝
Up the side of a mountain or hill , you found an ocean or river bottom , digging sand and finding rounded rocks , definitely was below water at one time . Great tutorial !
As far as I know, a long time ago a huge glacier crept in this place. He mixed everything and formed such interesting soils :) Many do not believe that a hill can have sand, like a beach in California, and round stones, like a river. But they really are there. And such soils are all over our region.
Just the work it takes to film something like this is crazy, let alone the actual work involved. Moving the camera for every single shot. This must have taken a long time. Well done
Full of good construction tips...especially if one reads your introduction about how using sand worked out. Putting down a tarp base layer on the roof could help keep the sand where it belongs!
I found the different levels interesting. First there was grass and moss, then dirt, then a level of small rounded rocks - where did they come from - then sand. The sand surprised me more than anything. Nice video.
Thank you! Yes, this is very interesting soil. A glacier crept here a long time ago. I also thought that clay should be deeper. But maybe I didn't dig deep enough.
Oh boy, I really look up to you for that work... I just happen to watch from the beginning to the end, every time. And I'm already looking forward to watch your video in this winter!
Oh, thank you very much! I myself would like to experience this refuge in winter. But before that, I need to make a door and a fireplace :) It's in the next video.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. The workmanship, the video quality and angles, the editing, the background noises, the close up shots...just perfection. Thank you for putting this out there and for showing what can be achieved with just two hands, time, and patience. The odd hand tool helps too! ;-)
This legit has inspired me ! Im an avid fly fisherman and would absolutely love to live out in the middle of nowhere for a period of time . This video has giving me the push too do it ! Thank u
imagine building this on the TV show alone, if there was a good food and water source someone could live there comfortable, the craftsman ship is unbelievable 👏
Just want to say thank you. While I’m building my own wood cabin on a trailer to make my own camper at home, this video has taught me a lot, and I will be using some of the general ideas you have here and incorporating it into a functional cabin camper. Very cool!!
Great job on video, overal quality and production. You're approach to snippets of your progress is perfect. Let others go to basic how-to videos for more detail. The rest of us appreciate the simplicity of the key ideas related to the build. LOVE the no-narrative approach, too. Masterclass.

Thanks man!

no way that whole place was dug with a camp shovel even with all that sand looks like an old river bed I would be panning to see if it had gold in it lol nice set up very cool place would love to spend a few days there myself great job
Yep, and all the lumber... perfectly straight, all clean cuts... I don't know man, this is hard to believe...
I've veiwed so many off grid builds, shelters, etc, but this one is very unique in the thought process of great design of simplicity. Thank you for the insperation.
You are welcome 🙌
😊❤😊❤😊
Best build I’ve ever seen, no wasted movements, no panic, just smooth and efficient building. Thanks for recording this!
I think this is genuinely one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. So serene and peaceful. You’re a very lucky - and talented - individual sir!
❤😊❤😊
Impressive. Clearly one of the better dug out builds on RUclips. The overhead drone shots was an extra bonus, very nice. Thanks.
❤😊❤😊
Очень спокойное видео. Леса Скандинавии великолепные, как и атмосфера там. Могу смотреть такие видео целую ночь!
❤😊❤😊
What a wonderful world! No noise, only wind sound and shovel
доброта и ничего лишнего, классные идеи мотивируют, тишина покой в каждом кадре, снаряга только необходимая...
Благодарю 🙂
самое прекрасное в этом видео это то, что тут нет посторонней музыки. только звуки леса и работы. Восхитительно, я считаю!
🤗
есть ещё сушки!
I completely agree.
Лопатка шикарная. А говорят, что нельзя чайной ложкой подземный ход в Англию выкопать)))
I am Arab and I love your videos, it makes me comfortable to hear the sound of nature
I am very happy. Enjoy :)
When i saw your incense burning man i started almost crying, i mean this was so beautiful! Holy smokes loved it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌻
Great work. It’s so nice to see people connecting with nature again.
you can feel the calm, peaceful pleasure this man is getting from being in the woods
😊❤😊❤
One of the best builds I've seen. Very efficient and practical.
That smile on your face once you built your bed made my day. Amazing commitment and dedication.
❤😊❤😊
You are a natural director and editor, as well as being a great craftsman. Kudos to you. I really enjoyed this from start to finish.
Thanks a lot!
весь ролик на одном дыхании, просто залипательно, спасибо огромное за эмоции
Не за что. Рад, что вам понравилось :)
These bushcraft videos are the real deal. They BLOW AWAY make believe, TV reality "wilderness" shows. Especially this one. This is a beautiful dugout. Very well built. The fallen trees you harvested are absolutely PERFECT - very straight which makes them much easier to use for your walls.
❤😊❤😊
This takes BushCraft to an entirely new level. My hats off you you Sir.
The moss and stone landscaping was a nice touch 🤭 So neat and well thought out
Thanks I was trying :)
I like it when everything around is neat and beautiful.
And great camouflage, too.
Absolutely 🤠👌
Heaven. And all engaged & done in a most simple, straightforward, strong & heavenly way. Love the ASMR! Thank you! 🙂👏
Mukemmel ahşap kulube ve magara karisimi teknigi! Çok iyi iş çıkardınız, Yoldaş. Sizin aynı tekniğinizi gelecek sene Asya'da bambu ile deneyeceğim. Kanada'dan sevgiler.
Невероятная архитектура бревенчатого дома! Вы очень хорошо справились, товарищ. В следующем году я попробую ту же технику с бамбуком в Азии. Привет из Канады.
The trees are so perfect out there, the dugout is beautiful.
Thank you :)
Немного удивился от первых кадров, когда ты яму копаешь. Подумал, триллер будет🤣🤣
Видео класс, так держать Вячеслав, всегда задаешь высокую планку💪
Ахаха 😄
Не, такое я еще не умею снимать.
Благодарю! 🤝
@@AsbjornOlsenBergBushcraft вы большой молодец!!!
Благодарю 😊
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.
Smart
So you mean like a wedge shape pointing back into the hillside? Smart move!
@@mtaybar5317 yes, that or simply rotating a square in plan shelter 45 degrees to the same effect.
I prefer karst with year-around ice inside on the hottest summers.
Best boiled first for a swallow. For vampire bites I'd recommend
sleeping naked on sandy beaches in Belize.
@@jcee2259 "For vampire bites I'd recommend

I'm not getting caught like that again.
I sometimes wonder if these people are really building these things themselves or they getting help. If they’re really building them. That’s real talent.
I do everything with my own hands.
❤😊❤😊
It still makes my back hurt thinking about all that digging with that small shovel. 😟
On a more positive note the patterns on the logs were gorgeous and fascinating as were the drone shots 👍🏻 Thanks for such a great vid!
😊❤❤😊😊
Very impressed. To have the patience and time to do this, is a skill that I don't really have. Although, this is an inspiring video. It shows how patience is key, and to keep moving forward. This will hopefully give me, and other people the courage to do something like this.
Thank you!
❤😊😊❤
I love that at one point he takes a moment to film a cool rock he found
Mad respect for your patience, skills and creativity. It’s beautiful!
😊❤😊❤
The tools he's using, my grandpa passed them down to my dad, same ones. Nice to see how they're used. My grandpa was born in 1898, bet my grandpa's tools were passed down from his father too. I'll tell you what they all were in mint condition with exception if his pick ax, but it was still in great condition my dad actually used it to dig up old huge tree stumps in our back yard when I was a little girl
😊❤😊😊❤
I like it,!! Great building. Simple but effective. Thank you for your video.
You are welcome )
So beautiful! If I had those skills I'd never leave the forest ❤
🤠🙌🌲
Amazing video tyvm
You are welcome, enjoy 😉
i cant believe how sandy that dirt is, would almost believe you got that on a beach! love the build
Yeah. I am wondering where in the hell they find all of these easy digs. Every time I try it's nothing but Rock and roots and clay
This is Scandinavia. The type of landscape is called a "moraine ridge", they are all over the place here. They were created by the retreating and melting ice during the last ice age. The rocks are round because they have been tumbled for thousands of years.
The ice age landscape formations has a lot weirder things than this. Look up "Giant's Kettle". Perfectly cylindrical holes drilled through the bedrock.
Of course the sand isn't home to tree roots, you can't plant fir trees in sand. Where the sand doesn't contain nutrients (and it's therefore "clean"), there will not be tree roots. -Koshikei
@@Erik_077 Thanks for quoting and crediting me!
Man, my back hurt just thinking about the effort made to construct that lodging. It must have taken weeks just finding the perfect spot, the uniformed logs, nevermind cutting and carrying each log. Even if this man had help it is still good work. Well done.
Thank you buddy! This took me about three weeks. It was hard, but I managed. And I plan to continue - to make a fireplace, a door and a table :)
My back just hurting bout sleeping on dem logs
My back hurt watching you do all of that digging with that mini shovel.
@@AsbjornOlsenBergBushcraft Will you get yourself a longer shovel? My back hurts just watching this.
Thank you!
I've built small dugouts. It's real work. This guy's work is far beyond what I ever did, in size, sophistication, and comfort. That said, it's not so different in basics, and this *is* do-able with basic skills and much determination.
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊
Thank you so very much. We’re new to preparing and your videos will be a great help. God bless you
You are welcome 😉🙌
❤😊❤❤😊
What a thoroughly enjoyable video!
The skills to do what you did outdoors, the skills to do what you did with the camera (which looked very natural and made me feel almost as though I were there) and the honesty to say where you did not do so well.
As a boy and a younger man I spent two or three weeks like this every year in the Welsh mountains.
You gave me a great feeling of reminiscence with this video.
Thanks from Japan.
My pleasure!
I am very glad that I was able to convey the atmosphere of this place.
Thanks for watching and have a nice day :)
That was great! The soft sandy soil was a blessing. Around where I live, it can take hours just to dig a post hole due to hard clay soil and stubborn roots.
Simply amazing! This was definitely worth watching and the ingenuity behind it all was phenomenal. Persistence really did pay off!
this is my second comment on this vid but i just wanna say thank you because these videos heal me and bring me alot of comfort 🩷
You are welcome, enjoy 😉🙌
Что скажешь, человек с руками и с головой. Уважаю таких людей. Выживет в любой ситуации.
❤😊❤😊❤😊
I really enjoy your craftsmanship, construction and use of different materials for each of your projects! You make it so easy and simple yet it’s much much more than that! Keep up the good work man.
❤😊❤😊
This is the first of your videos I've found and I have to say, I am blown away by your cinematography! Beautiful work!
Thanks a lot!
Well this hiking shovel can literally kill your back .. can't imagine how it might feel digging such a big hole with such a tiny thing .. just wow! :))
Finally someone who makes a dugout door tall enough!!!
😎
It's good to see someone living a life what real life actually meant to be...
+1 I agree with you
Asbjorn, your videos are amazing. I don't know how you do it, but they just keep getting better and better. Those forests are wonderful.
Thank you a lot! It’s really nice to see 🤠👍
O melhor abrigo individual que vi até hoje. Bastante seguro, forte, bem construído, totalmente travado o madeiramento e muito bem acabado, Parabéns.
Muito obrigado amigo! 🤠🤝
I love the minimal use of modern tools/supplies. It makes me feel like even I could do this if I ever needed or wanted to. 🥰
Using hand tools brings great satisfaction to the work process :)
And minimal noise...
❤😊❤😊
Watch every second of this. Can tell the effort put in and will definitely be subscribing. What a great video!
Thanks a lot 🤠🙌
I thought the dugout was "Brilliant". A true work of art. I watch you all the way through from start to finish. I'm from Christchurch, Canterbury Province, South Island, New Zealand, would love to see you do bush craft down here one day 💖
Hello! I am very glad that you follow my work :)
Thank you for this!
I would really like to visit all the places on our Earth, but it is not always in my power. New Zealand is not yet within reach for me. But maybe one good day, I'll be here :)
Be healthy! 🤝
Up the side of a mountain or hill , you found an ocean or river bottom , digging sand and finding rounded rocks , definitely was below water at one time . Great tutorial !
As far as I know, a long time ago a huge glacier crept in this place. He mixed everything and formed such interesting soils :)
Many do not believe that a hill can have sand, like a beach in California, and round stones, like a river. But they really are there. And such soils are all over our region.
Just the work it takes to film something like this is crazy, let alone the actual work involved. Moving the camera for every single shot. This must have taken a long time. Well done
❤😊❤😊
Full of good construction tips...especially if one reads your introduction about how using sand worked out. Putting down a tarp base layer on the roof could help keep the sand where it belongs!
I put a tarp on the roof but didn't show it in the video. That's how it was meant to be :)

@@AsbjornOlsenBergBushcraft ahh was going to ask about this exactly. Awesome dugout!
I always start to think, 'who taught him how to do all this', his father must be a great man.
Those mosquitos must have been a pain to deal with.
I found the different levels interesting. First there was grass and moss, then dirt, then a level of small rounded rocks - where did they come from - then sand. The sand surprised me more than anything.
Nice video.
Thank you!
Yes, this is very interesting soil. A glacier crept here a long time ago. I also thought that clay should be deeper. But maybe I didn't dig deep enough.
This structure of soil, It’s a drumlin ridge made by ice age happening. Well done dugout 👍🏻 into this soil!
Superb use of resources, and master bushcraftsmanship. 👌
Thanks!
😊❤❤😊😊
Очень атмосферно и качествено подано! На одном дыхании👍Спасибо!
Не за что :)
Oh boy, I really look up to you for that work... I just happen to watch from the beginning to the end, every time. And I'm already looking forward to watch your video in this winter!
Oh, thank you very much! I myself would like to experience this refuge in winter. But before that, I need to make a door and a fireplace :)
It's in the next video.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. The workmanship, the video quality and angles, the editing, the background noises, the close up shots...just perfection. Thank you for putting this out there and for showing what can be achieved with just two hands, time, and patience. The odd hand tool helps too! ;-)
The most perfect and pure ASMR video doesn't exi-----I have found it.
Enjoy 😉
This legit has inspired me ! Im an avid fly fisherman and would absolutely love to live out in the middle of nowhere for a period of time . This video has giving me the push too do it ! Thank u
imagine building this on the TV show alone, if there was a good food and water source someone could live there comfortable, the craftsman ship is unbelievable 👏
your absolutely right
I'm wondering if he had to pull a building permit
9:48 Those mosquito sounds really triggered me had me wafting like a crazy person in the dark while I’m in bed 😂😂😂
They're terrible! I had to stop at 9 minutes in and came to the comments to check and see if it was bothering anyone else. 😂
Just want to say thank you. While I’m building my own wood cabin on a trailer to make my own camper at home, this video has taught me a lot, and I will be using some of the general ideas you have here and incorporating it into a functional cabin camper. Very cool!!
You must of been super chilled...
felt peaceful just watching this!!
Отличная работа. Очень интересно было посмотреть👍
Благодарю!
Отличный фильм. Всё на уровне. Съёмка, монтаж и режиссура. Определённо заслуживает продвижения и хороших просмотров, так что оставляем комментарий ;-)
О, благодарю за столь высокую оценку 🤠🤝
Brave man. Incredible effort. Beyond imagination and definitely nature is beautiful and harmless 😊😊

Great job on video, overal quality and production. You're approach to snippets of your progress is perfect. Let others go to basic how-to videos for more detail. The rest of us appreciate the simplicity of the key ideas related to the build. LOVE the no-narrative approach, too. Masterclass.
