Building My BEST DUGOUT EVER - ALONE into Wild Forest - Bushcraft Moss PILLOW - Badger Came - 4K

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!
