In a few months I built a bushcraft dugout shelter alone in a remote location in the middle of the forest using only natural resources and hand tools. To find out more open the full video description.

I recommend watching it with headphones as the video is filled with ASMR sounds.

Basic information:
Time spent - about 2 months to create the shelter and shoot the video simultaneously.
_____________________________________________________
Resources: Wind-fallen Larch tree for walls and roof, Moss and clay for insulation, Limestone for fireplace, Periwinkle, fern and fir for landscaping, Natural linen burlap to cover side vents and window, Doors - oak split in a natural way.
_____________________________________________________
Bushcraft tools:
Axe: Vintage handmade carpenter's axe
Knife: HK2 Bushcraft BPS Knives
Hand saw: Silky bigboy2000
Shovel: Vintage MPL-50
Hand Drill: D25mm, no name

Does such a roof leak? With a short rain, no, but during the storm season, the soil will be saturated with moisture and the insulation will eventually leak. In this case, it will be necessary to add a plastic membrane, since there is no alternative solution in specific conditions.

If you want to make something like this, you need to study the country's Forest Code. In my country it is illegal to cut down live trees and take Wind-fallen trees out of the Forest. So these logs do not leave the woods, they just take the form of a shelter. In any case the forester must be informed of your intentions. The exception is Nature reserves - there is a complete ban on such activities in Nature reserves.

Thanks for your interest!
