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!
