I'm homeless and use this type of shelter all the time. I do attach a thermal blanket underneath because of thermal drones they use to find camps. Just before winter, I'll dig a half dozen of these before the ground freezes. Also, in winter, l dig them narrower and deeper. I will also collect tons of Amazon bubble packages and tape them together about 6 layers thick for a lining.
Thanks, I really enjoyed the vid!

I used a poncho as a tarp tent for years after learning the technique as an infantryman. Since I wasn’t worried about a defensible position I could use some bungee cords and have it set up in a few minutes. My son and I could rest comfortably without too much work and have a multiple use item for shelter and rain.

I have a ranger handbook but it's cool to see the information inside that book come to life. Please keep doing these types of videos

Glad no-one has seen fit to make that shelter permanent. Keep on posting, major! Always appreciated.

I learned this a little differently. Where/how do you hide your loaded spare poncho as that shape would stick out a little bit and anyone approaching from your rear (your audible blind spot) that spotted it would possibly sound an alarm (silent?) and initiate a search for you! The main difference that i was taught is to use a long pole about 1 1/2 times your body length with crossed sticks at about the 1/3, 2/3 and about a foot from the open end using slip knots to tie them together. Instead of removing the excavated dirt, you start in the length-wise center, sweeping the ground clutter off to both sides, cutting and peeling back the top layer of vegetation/roots/soil outward from the center like you're cutting grass sod! Dig the hole a little wider at the open end to give you easier access and a place to put your extra gear (BOB). Dig your hole a little lower at the open end and add a small trench along one side to allow for ground water/rain to drain out. Any extra loose dirt should be scattered over a good amount of area! Cover the wooden framework with your poncho/tarp, rolling the strips of sod back over the poncho/tarp, then sprinkle the ground clutter over the entire structure keeping a small pile near the open end to use to quickly visionally close off that end if necessary. A small net with local debris imbedded in it makes this much easier and if you're using binoculars with reduce the ability for someone else to see into your shelter! Place that spare poncho/tarp on the floor of the shelter to stay dry and more comfortable! To restore/take down the structure just roll back the sod again, remove your poncho/tarp, release the slip knots allowing the pole and cross piece to fall into the hole, roll the sod back in and use the ground clutter to make it match the surrounding area! There will probably be a slight depression left but not enough for it to be easily spotted! Thanks for the video, brings back lots of memories!

Drones with thermal detection seem like a coming thing. Thermal camouflage might be a help. Maybe some space blankets.

In Ranger School, we were required to dig them long enough for our body plus our rucksack at our feet. Carry two sandbags for frontal bullet protection and fill with dirt from hole you dig

[MRSomethin]

I usually build one when I know my mother in law is coming

[richardkibler]

Excellent for concealment purposes for an LP, of course you'll have a few 118's deployed 50m forward.Spetsnaz shovel is Very handy indeed, Many Thanx Andrew, Cheers!

[mikebull]

If you know, make a video with tips that can increase the chances of survival, in case of escape from a POW camp and especially how we can avoid detection by dogs in case of escape.
Thanks!

[ourblessedmess]

Always learn something and pick up tips watching you.
Thank you kindly good sir.

[texasjoe]

Thank You For Sharing Your Knowledge !!

[johnvargas]

Hell yea brother. The only thing i would add is cammie netting before the veg-up. Leaves will stick to it better, breaks up those lines and makes a door for the shelter
