The best way to avoid it collapsing is adding branches along the top that are long enough to reach the pegs and put the tarp over that. That gives you a fairly solid surface that can withstand someone/thing walking across it and with enough sticks, prevent any single breaking point from causing potential catastrophic damage.

@chasecharland1160

2 жыл бұрын

That's a good idea, with enough time you could build a pretty big hole, shore up the sides, build a solid roof with logs and tarps and earth, and create a covered entrance point that keeps out rain, a nice drainage system around the dug out would help too. Obviously these are supposed to be quick made shelters, but the technique is pretty cool and can be expanded on to create a long term shelter. With a little ingenuity you might even get a rudimentary fire place and chimney.

I had to laugh, imagine hikers coming across you as you're digging that hole..."I'm digging a foxhole...honest!"

In reconnaissance we had to build a radio cache for 3. We dug the hole deep enough to sit up. Lined it with tarp. Cut trees down at the base so that it wasn’t obvious that a bunch of trees were cut down. Used the trees across the roof. Covered it all up again with soil and then leaves and redistributed the soil around the terrain so as not to make it evident that excavation had taken place. By the time it was finished at the end of the day it was completely hidden from the rest of the terrain even if you walked over it. We spent the whole 5 days in it sending Morse coded messages. (Morse code was just to make it hard. In a real situation we used devices to send encoded messages in bursts).

Who are you kidding, it’s basically an underground coffin. All jokes aside, it was really cool to see you set up this military style sleep system for trench use. If I were to try out this system, I’d have to make the underground portion much larger due to being slightly claustrophobic.

I could see this being useful in snowy, high wind environments, especially where you can merely dig into the snow and set up the exact same type of shelter, or barren terrain like badlands, drylands, even some desert terrain where being hidden is key. Though, I'd not enjoy digging into hard, dry packed earth like that. Definitely a useful addition to the repertoire. Soldiers were trained to prepare these in the event of nuclear fallout, as they would protect from the majority of falling particles. Or, at least, give the soldiers hope and drive for as long as possible. They'd dig a half-pipe shape into the ground big enough to sit up in and then place a roof over it using branches or whatever they can find, and then cover it with tarp, soil, whatever's handy.

As a kid we would dig these holes big enough for 5-6 kids, cover them with scrap wood and cover that up with dirt. Sometimes making side compartments. Don't recall spending the night in them but be in them most of the day. at least until some ones parents found out. Now days I can't say I'm a fan of confind spaces.

Haven’t seen one of those kits in years,(army) trouble with them was if it rains at night the soil get’s soaked becomes heavy fills with water a falls in during the night ,use branches and cover with leaves better.

Even with the cord I would of used a few support logs for the top. Being in Michigan I would also be concerned if it rained. I remember making ponds and swimming holes in a similar fashion. Though I have heard of people using a fox hole, but only as a last resort. Edited part: I will defiantly be checking your channel out now, this was awesome. It was nice to have some memories from my childhood pop up.

Lol that is the best hut ever. Me and my dog have stayed in one several times . Dug them for my grandkids just check for snakes be fore going in.

The IPK was primarily used to provide a stable, weather proof cover over an infantry fire-trench, that would hold emough earth to protect troops from over head artillery bursts. If laid out correctly it can take a lot of weight without collapsing. A very useful peice of kit 👍

Something you may not have considered for the average grunt such a shelter offers protection from being crushed by a track vehicle while sleeping. It does happen. Because of the length of the track and weight distribution it wouldn't crush the hole in on you. In the field I would look for natural depressions to turn into a sleeping spot for that reason and easier to dig out if need be. Most times on patrol you don't have time to dig in a new night time defensive position.

Next time bring sandbags to brace the walls so you'll have no worries of collapse. It's also a great way to remove the dirt from the hole. Also in most forests, if you dig to the proper depth (5-6 feet deep). Once you get under the top soil/clay, you'll hit a layer of actual sand. You'll also be below most of the thicker roots. Much easier on the back. I've had some of the best sleep ever in the bottom of a foxhole. If it's the proper depth, the ground provides excellent insulation. It can be -40 outside, but barely 32 in the bottom of a foxhole. They're also very nice in the heat. The ground is like natural ac.

I like the idea of an underground shelter.

That looked like fun. I would feel a little better with some branches supporting the tarp with the dirt on top of it.

This is an interesting and very honest video. Kudos! I would never have thought to have laced roof support from cordage. I know that a cave temperature is in the mid-60s F all year which is better than sub-freezing temperatures that might be outside but I would think that just a tarp and sleeping bag on the dirt would sort of suck the heat out of your body. What if you dug it a bit deeper and lined it with leaves or evergreen branches before you put your liner tarp down?

I did 8.5 years in the U.S. Army Infantry and I never was taught to sleep in a grave like that! If it rains your screwed! Pretty sure above the ground would be better!

Very interesting I will be trying this out. I also need to hunt down breakfast bar you talked about. Good Man 👍🏼

That was super cool. Thank you

Beautiful!

Thank you!

Imagine walking peacefully through your local woods, puffing contentedly on a pipeful of sticky icky, and a ginger head pops out of the ground. It would take at least five minutes to convince myself I'm not hallucinating a leprechaun.

Looks like it will be a lot of fun in the rain.

Fantastic video, I really hope to see your channel grow. You deserve a following that lets you do stuff like this for a living! keep it up!

Awesome... Definitely gonna give this a try... 👍

that looks like fun.

School of infantry taught us to dig 2-man fighting holes. The standard fighting hole was designed to be at shoulder level. Me being 6’6” I had to dig a 6’ fighting hole. Fun times.

I liked the style of video and the channel creator's attitude. All the best!

Should have stuffed some dry leaves in there for a softer sleep space. But the first round is usually rough. Kudos for sticking thru it

All that effort deserves a sub and a 👍

I am glad you have done it thanks 👏👏👏👏🥂

Awesome video! Lots of laughs and I'm definatly subscribing!

Your forest is alot like my Eastern Canadian coast. Very hard to dig. LOL you had me bust out laughing, good advice, and crossing your fingers, we have always been told that works eh? haha. Loved this video and that was very cool to see for a trench shelter. Thanks for the vid and i subbed.

Great demonstration! A cheap umbrella with 3d camo attached and a slight ridge around the hole will prevent an evening bath if a storm rolls through along with making it fully concealed. Always try and check the weather before starting the Binladen simulator camp lol.

I would off placed about a foot of leaves before placing the bottom plastic one if you didnt have your rubber matt 2 a little bit like a bet mattress. Great idea out of site too.

There's always reflection ya know. Leaves in the pit could be added insulation. Good to tinker with preparations an smooth out the plan when needed. Thankyou.

Rabbit 🐰 hole technique, awesome mate thanks for sharing.

I like this guy: simple stuff done simply. No steaks and bacon from home. Remarks, below, seem out of context. Thumbs up and subscribed.

Interessant ! Danke !
