Hello everyone, my name is Alexey, I live in Russia in the city of Yekaterinburg. My four-legged friend's name is Pyosel. I collected all the episodes of the construction of my dugout in one video. You may have already seen a similar video, but in the last video the construction process took 6 months, in this video you can see everything that happened to my dugout over 1.5 years. I spent a lot of time and effort, I hope for your support.

I watched every video of this construction, made some mistakes along the way and did some corrections. As a viewer, we learned also what to do and what not! Thanks Alexey for bringing us along in your adventure. Sending hugs to Pyosel! 🤗🐶

This is the perfect example of "You are your own worst critic." Every time you build a part of this I say "Wow, that's a pretty great idea." Then you just keep improving on it. Great video!

No man hes just an idiot with 0 ability to plan things lol

I love how despite using only minimal text and no actual speech you managed to convey everything clearly; the joy of success, the frustration/disappointment when things go wrong and what you were doing. I could quickly grasp what you were doing and why with almost everything and was amazed how you did that with just the camera and pointing/waving your hand to show where to focus.

Just an idea but. You should build a shelf of rocks or brick under the fireplace and behind it up the wall. They will act like a thermal sink and store heat. Helping to keep the shelter warm for longer with less energy wasted.

its a great idea but you have to be careful what rocks you use because some rocks will explode when exposed to heat above 200 degrees F

So cool!! just cause our governments do not get along, does not mean we as the people cannot learn from one another. I am feeling inspired to do this myself. Thank you Russian brother for showing us how you made this, relatively, simple yet effective shelter🤘

You make a great point. A nation's population is more than a government and crappy international policy.

I lost your channel, but i just found it again. I never get tired of watching you building the dugout shelter. I think that if you built a fireplace for the dugout shelter,it would be very warm in the wintertime,or maybe you have done it already. I love your attitude and work attics.

So happy to see you again, Alexey!! You accomplished so much all by yourself in your dugout. Took a lot of work. Thank you for sharing with us.

That came out really nice

Absolutely fantastic video! I was glued to every minute- didn’t want to miss a single thing that you did. Absolutely genius. Human ingenuity at its best! Your fur baby is the best companion! Best wishes!

finally someone whos open and doesnt try to hide the fact that they use power tools keep up the good work

Give it maybe five years in this will be a $200,000 house 😂 All jokes aside is a very nice little cabin !

This is probably the best shelter I’ve seen anyone build in the woods

How wonderful to see you & Pyosel. Its been a while. I have followed you in these journeys & I have truly enjoyed it. Keep that bright smile on you're face. Blessings on you & Pyosel.

Absolutely right about the smile, we have missed you and your dog!

I think this is now one of my favourite building video because of how much try and error and improvement is involved. To me it is really motivating! Thanks alot for sharing the whole process!

Am so happy to see that beautiful smile again Hope you have been well young man Missed you

Amazing video...I love how you did not add music. I was happy for you every time you completed another step. great smile. thanks for this.

I always get a kick with his smile, and thumbs up! His attitude, and yes his humor help to make his Videos pleasant to watch, and let us not forget his Great Skills. If He sees a miscalculation; he is not afraid to show it, and immediately fixes it. Having to work in that Cold Enviorment is no small thing! Great Video!😊😊😊

So thrilled to watch 2 people in the wild makes me feel very secure because Im Not an alone person

Well Alexey, I have to say i admire your determination, for a second there I thought you were going to take the entire hut apart, LOL. I guess if things are not right, you make changes, I cannot imagine the amount of hours you put into it. I hope you have many nights of peaceful rest when you stay at your little dugout in the woods with Pyosel, nice work!

Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18‭-‬21‭, ‬23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Awaiting the new adventures Alexey. I miss you and Pyosel. It was always nice to see the pup doing zoomies in the snow and the appreciation he had for you. Hope to see you both soon.

Quiero que sepas que te he dado un millón de likes hoy por este video, gracias por todo, me entretuve mucho ❤🇨🇱🇮🇹

Alexey, we’ve missed you and Pyosel. I can’t wait for you to get back to building the house. Do you work? Where do you find the time to do this? How far away from the city are you?

Hola soy una señora mayor española y me encanta seguiros y ver el esfuerzo tan hermoso que hacéis con estas bonitas cabañas y tu bello perrito me encanta, yo tengo uno también, adoro los animales, realmente estoy admirada de tu trabajo, un saludo desde Madrid España 🇪🇸

It's a nice cozy dugout, but what a huge work. I personally would've put a plastic tarp under the floor as well to prevent the ground moisture from coming up, but well done anyway .. and if to think that filming and editing took a lot of time and effort as well .. thumbs up! 👍

the adorable puppers helping out as best they can

it's crazy how just tamping the post can be the success or failure of a wall failure or a collapse of a wall grew up doing stuff like this with fencing and it's so important.

Big fan of the channel

because who needs a level? Jesus christ this guy is the champion of the phrase "Noone has time to do it right but they all have time to do it twice" Or in this guys case 3 or 4 times. lol

good luck finding 2 by 4 and the power tools in the nature.

I can remember each step of the way when building this, I kept up with you and watched every stage of it. That was so funny @11:10 when Pyosel came up and stuck his little nose in the ventilation pipe from the outside, I had to laugh about that! Lol!!! You've made something very nice, warm and cozy, I am very proud for you!!!

Alex, I like the way you are meticulous and you keep your place neat, clean and organize.

Bro has the best shelter for ukrain war🤕Great video keep it up

Pyosel 🥰🥰

Fun Fact: Concrete lasts longer if seawater is used instead of freshwater. It forms tiny pockets of unhardened concrete that become hard when it's exposed to air, this makes the structure last longer and is the reason why Roman architecture has lasted for so long.

I love watching videos like this! Great learning here. Pyosel is so inquisitive of everything you’re doing 😊. Great digging helper too! 😂 Thanks for sharing Alexey! ❤

Nice work Alexey! That looks great young man. 👍

Thanks for sharing - great work! Beautiful shelter... It's very impressive and i learned a lot of things 🙂 Greetings from Germany!

Das war so schlimm als die ganze erde wieder raus musste. Kann mich noch gut dran erinnern. Große liebe an alex❤❤❤

Good job and happy smile! Enjoy your dugout and life! Big hugs to Pyosel! :)

Que trabalho maravilhoso vc fez ,ficou perfeito.

Amazing what you can do with limited tools and materials. Keep up the great work 💪

Awesome job brother... Well done!

Have you thought of covering the walls with lime mortar, it prevents frost and water ingress due to it being a breathable building material. Also, if you add a couple of coats of lime wash, it prevents mold due to its high pH content.

I absolutely love ❤️ the improvements

That guy is living a man's dream. :)

Alexey how are you doing. I don’t remember that fire pit . I must’ve missed that episode Alexey. You worked a lot on the dugout that’s for sure. So much it’s amazing. The finished project is magnificent. With all the meticulous improvements and plans. I don’t mind watching again. Besides I missed a couple things the first time. Still I can’t wait to see the finished cabin you started a couple months ago. And it’s always a joy to see Pyosel. He is a perfect companion for you.

Your wood stove does not appear to be fire safe. For example, a standard wall clearance space for a wood stove pipe is approximately 18 inches (46 cm). The only exception to this is if you use proper shields on the pipe or on the wall. In this case, a wood-burning stove heat shield is a heat shield that is designed explicitly for a wood-burning stove. It is important to ensure that the your heat shield is at least 28 gauge thick sheet metal and has a minimum distance of 12 inches from the stove. Also, it would be safer to have a chimney pipe that flows straight upward rather than having a 90 degree bend which impedes carbon monoxide outflow. FRESH AIR>This also makes me nervous whether your small, single pipe is allowing for enough fresh air exchange. PLEASE STAY SAFE!

Toujours excellente travail 😊

This time elapse of 1 year in 1 hour is not enought for me i've to put it in 2x. LMAO

I recommend a book shelf with a healthy selection of good books, otherwise spending prolonged time in there, you'd lose your mind

Was an amazing journey

Look, I'm just gonna say it. If I lived in Russia and had this dugout, I know where I'd be going before the next mobilization...

Have been missing you so good to see you give your doggy a pat ❤
