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

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

About This Video:
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.

Next Series:

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!

No talking, No sponsor areas, no random stuff, just pure outdoorsman

[Uni_baller]

Someone’s going to stumble on that in 100 years and be very grateful you were there to build that! Excellent work

[uubankwang]

What is blowing my mind is that you can be equal parts gifted in woodland shelter construction as well as cinematography and video editing.

[robk]

Best build I’ve ever seen, no wasted movements, no panic, just smooth and efficient building. Thanks for recording this!

[MySkobi]

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.

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.

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.

Finally! A man who keeps his trap shut and cracks on with what needs to be done. True quality content.

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.

[nfcboys]

The mosquitos swarming and acting like they were going to carry this man away would be enough for me! Incredible work!

[matthewosborne]

Watching this felt like 40 minutes of meditation. Nothing but serenity, nature and hard graft. Respect bro, thankyou! 👊🏻❤

People don’t realize how lucky they are to live in woods like these. They are perfect for building.

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.

[Kupolikop._.]

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

[kevkev]

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.

Coming from a ex logger. Man cleanest end cuts I’ve ever seen. Better than a chainsaw, and not a speck of dirt on pants or knees. Dudes a G.

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 :)

I just love how casual you look while doing everything. Sawing a tree? Just chillin'. Hauling a log over your shoulder into the camp? Just chillin'.

[Oscuros]

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.

[martinpettett]

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.
