Hello everyone, my name is Alexey, I live in Russia in the city of Yekaterinburg. My four-legged friend's name is Pyosel. To make my dog’s name clearer to you, in English it sounds something like “Doggie” Today I came to the forest alone, it's sultry outside, so the dog stayed at home. Unfortunately, the water filled the dugout again. I'll pump the water out again. Last time I left the pump inside the dugout, but today it's all soaked. The box absorbed the water and came apart. It is good that the pump was not damaged, because it is designed to work under water. The iron stove has become dirty, last time I took it outside to dry. Today I wiped the oven from the dust and brought it inside. I can't connect the chimney to the stove, the fact is that the wire that supported the pipe in the hanging position has come off. I replaced the wire and connected the chimney and the stove. After I collected a bucket full of dry twigs, I lit a fire inside the oven to warm the room and evaporate the water. I pump out the water, but it fills the bottom of the dugout again, I do not know how long it will take. It disappoints me. The longer my shelter is in the water, the worse it gets. Soon the wood will begin to mold and rot. I would like to keep this building so that I can come here in winter. After the flood, the inside is a mess, all things are scattered. I took some of the boards outside to dry. From time to time, the pit inside the dugout fills with water again, then I turn on the pump. Some time ago, it rained in our region, after which the blueberries ripened. I'm going to pick and eat berries. Today I'm going to cook food in an underground oven. To do this, I need to dig out the chimney and light a fire. I took tomatoes and cucumbers with me to make a salad. I also have potatoes with me, which I want to wrap in foil and bake on coals in an underground oven. An hour later, I took out the potatoes and they turned out to be raw. He didn't prepare at all, it surprised me and made me laugh. Then I saw that some of the potatoes were cooked, I'm glad of that. It's getting late. It's time to go home. Thanks for watching!

What a shame you got flooded again.. I thought it may be the roof then I realised as half of the cabin is underground it’s permeating from the ground up. Not sure what you can do but I’m sure you will sort it out eventually so you can use it in the better weather. I missed Pyosel but I understand why he was left at home. Take care, keep safe. ❤ Dorset, UK

Alexey, my heart is breaking for you. All the love and dedication you put into that hut. But my friend I agree with your other viewers, perhaps you should start again, but somewhere that isn’t liable to flood. Where is Pyosel? 🙏🏻❤️ Salvage what you can, but please be mindful of bacteria ❤️

Alexey, I am so very sorry to see what’s happened to that beautiful dugout you worked so very hard on 😢 Mother Nature can be so unkind at times😠 Please stay safe (and dry!) and know we’ll be here for you 👍🏼👋 and Pyosel 🐕❤

I admire your tenacity! Most would have just given up. Good to see you again!

Sorry about the flood again... good thing you have that pump and power station. :)

Oh no! How devastating, and so much work. Your bright spirit and attitude are inspiring though! Major bummer on the dugout. It's my favorite of your places, and I love watching you and Pyosel hang out there in the winter. Give Pyosel a hug and some tummy rubs for me!

Happy birthday Alexey 🎊 🎉🎂. Be very careful of bacteria in that water plus any mould starting. Sorry it has flooded again after all the work you have put into it. The one your building above ground will be great when you finish and hopefully it won’t get flooded.

Alexei, deja este y sigue con el otro al que ya le pusiste techo.‼️‼️‼️

Your attitude is great! Enjoying the trip even though there was extra work to be done. You are an inspiration.

Great to see you back again Alexey. Hope you don't have to give up on the dugout. Maybe bring Pyosel next time?? Take care.xx

Добрый вечер Лёша!Обязательно прокапай траншею и закопай в нее трубу водоотвода как это сделай Лесные тайны - Виктор,прокопай так что бы труба от ямы шла с наклоном,как только появиться вода в яме землянки она сразу же будет утекать наружу через трубу и не будет задерживаться в землянке и тогда не будет так страшно и опасно для землянки.Да это труд что бы выкопать водоотвод,но это просто необходимо,у Виктора было так же,как только он проложил трубу водоотвода,все сразу высохло и теперь воды просто нет, она не скапливается в землянке. Ты не игнарируй совет,а обязательно сделай водоотвод это не слишком сложно,но очень необходимо.После чего просушишь землянку

I totally agree. A drainage system will defiantly stop the flooding. If not done then the dugout will just keep flooding and get worse and worse over the years and the dugout will become unrepairable and unlivable by next winter or next summer because of rot and black mold, which can be very dangerous to people. After all the work you put into the dugout, it would be sad if that happened.

No disrespect, we call you Mr. Smiley, because of that beautiful smile. My husband and I enjoy your videos. Thank you,

Happy to see you again Alexey ❤❤😊😊😊

Nice video, I have one suggestion for you, a sump. Dig a hole near the doorway, but away from the supporting posts about 2x the size of the pump in depth, line it with wood so the dirt does not get in, then make a hatch so you can access it without the need to rip up the floor. You could leave a power supply if you were returning soon, so, if it rained again, it would automatically pump the water out.

😱OMG...Watching You & all your enduring, I want to cry for you!😢 You don't deserve what you're going through!😢❤

You definitely know more a out this stuff than me, but I'm thinking some high shelves would be good to keep stuff off ground. Thanks for sharing your adventures 👋👋👍👍💖

Bem vindo jovem só na lida Deus te abençoe sempre Um abraço para você

Not good. Your dug out should be built into a hill . Do water will not collect.

There may be a source of water located under this property. Your best bet might be to relocate your underground cabin.

Time to move to a new site. Bacteria will be rife

Alexey, the water table appears to be too close to the surface. You would be better off building a new dugout where the water table is deeper underground.

I'm happy to see your camping activities, because there is some education that can be taken, I like it,👍👍♥️ 

...and sorry about your dugout filing with water. You worked so hard on it. 😢❤

Me alegra que no pierdas el entusiasmo un abrazo ❤

Maybe that’s the sign that you have to give up your dugout and continue what you have started to build- the small cabin that you have started and was not finished yet. I think that log cabin is better and you will not have that flooding again. WHY DID YOU STOP BUILDING IT???

For your health and safety, it’s time to finished what you started building.

Alexey I have an idea that would let you keep your dugout . My idea is to raise the floor level well above the high water level mark left on the walls after the flood . You would have to raise the roof level but you could still have a dugout . When I was a boy if our root cellar flooded we would filled the floor up above the high water mark and raise the roof you could do the same and not lose your dugout . I enjoy all your videos and I have faith in your abilities to recover from this problem!!

Ceci dit, je pense que tu es un gars plein de ressource, aucun défi ne te fait reculer et tu ne perds pas ton sourire

Bless your heart Alexey. I hope you will be able to make this work eventually. It's my favorite place that you visit. Be careful of mold. Praying for the best. Chin up.

Say hi to Pyosel for me. I really think this might continue to happen. Maybe you need to scout for a better site and start over.

Alexei, sper să nu renunți la căsuța aceasta. Dintre toate construcțiilor tale, aceasta mi-e cea mai dragă. Succes și multă sănătate!

heartbroken for you but you never give up and keep smiling!

Ahhh I’m so sorry for that happening again. A real shame after all your hard work. Hope you find a positive outcome ✅.

Как же обидно, столько вложено сил и труда. Восхищаюсь тобой, чтобы не случилось всегда позитивное настроение. Молодец. Я конечно не строитель, и негу давать советы. Но возможно можно выкопать яму подальше от землянки. Чтобы яма была ниже уровня землянки и вода будет собираться там. Получится свой пруд. Но легко сказать а трудно сделать. Удачи тебе.❤

Aw man, that sucks! Maybe it's time to build another, better dugout?! Keep it up, Alexey!

Bonsoir j'ai le cœur brisé que ta maison souterraine soit encore inondé c'est quand même bizarre, et je comprends pas quand tu es arrivé les portes été ouverte ,moi je pense qu'il y a des personnes qui viennent et qui respecte pas ton travail dans ta maison souterraine,je te souhaite du courage pour la suite,et j'espère voir d'autres vidéos,et voir aussi ton chien 🐕,a bientôt bisous de France 😊

Alexy, why don't you put in a drain tube, it will take some digging but would be well worth it. Get some friends to help. It would save you from doing this twice a year!! I love the dug-out, and the forest hut, and your newer build, which I hope to see more videos of. I saw your singing video, i am from the US so I didn't know what the words were, but I enjoyed watching it!!! Good luck!!!

不要跟隨自媒體的潮流都在地下挖防空洞被淹的概率是百分之百！我希望你花一點力氣找一個平整的地方把房子就建立在土地上面吧，消費了太多的時間和精力太辛苦了沒有必要！另外你的木炭燒的不夠多所以土豆不會熟😂

ah sad to see your dugout flooded but great for the pump , so glad you had a way of cleaning all that water ,nice to see you again thank you for sharing 👍👍👍

Sorry your having a very bad day. I hope things will get better for you soon!

I am sorry this has happened to you, again. You may be below the water level. There are so many beautiful trees in that forest, may be you could build above ground. The good news is you could put in a well and have water all year. When homes get flooded, or a lot of moisture then molds can grow. Molds love warm, darkness and moisture. They can make you very sick. Peace be with you, my brother.

Peccato ci hai lavorato tanto x renderla confortevole e adesso tutto distrutto....dai che sei in bravo ne costruirai una nuova...😊😊

Bless you you cope so well.

Beautiful forest , but your dugout is done for….. ground water will always seep in now… so sorry my friend….. time to finish your newest cabin 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If you can keep a power source in your dugout then i would recommend making the pump permanent under the floor. You can cable tie the float switch to make it respond to lower depth water, so that if the water comes in via the water cable through the soil then the pump will automatically turn on and pump the water out and when low enough the float switch should then turn it back off again. Sadly that’s all i can think of to save your dugout.. would be a shame if you abandon it due to the water.

alexey i feel bad for you man but you need to salvage what you can and find a new location all that water produces mold bacteria viruses and parasites that can cause serious illness that can kill you and doggie

Time to finish your wooden hut. It's a shame that you don't make videos concerning it. It was very interesting.

I thinks it time you gave up my friend. God bless 🙏 and stay safe

You got skills smile 😁😊😊😊

Sorry about the flooding Alexey, a sad fact but water always finds its way. Unless you can figure out a way to draw the water away by laying an underground drainage system a simple wide diameter plastic pipe would do the job , Having said that it would mean a lot of digging and work. Perhaps a new project , another hideaway and on higher ground may be the answer. But it's great to see your determination not to let it beat you. Just keep up that nice smile of yours, and don't let the situation get you down, and say hello to your little Doggie for me, he's a fantastic little friend, And I see he's not with you this time, hope all is OK with him.

Hello Alex, I wouldn't bother with it any more! Tear down the hut, burn it down or fill it in. You'll keep having the same problem if you don't do anything about it! It's a lot of work and eventually you'll have mold in there and that's not healthy. I would think carefully about whether I want to put in the time and effort to insulate the hut. Greetings Walter 👍🏻

Sorry your dugout flooded again. I hope with all your hard work you can get it back to normal. I would suggest taking out all of the wood floors and starting with new boards. This would help with any possile mold not seen yet. Or take the old floor outside to dry completely and then retreat with something that prevents mold. Good luck and looking forward to your next adventure. Waiting to see how your house building project is going. And of course, I miss Pyosel as well.

This has always been my concern with these type of dugouts. Whether or not they would suffer flooding like this. Maybe make a sump pump system to keep the water out that's solar powered? or digging it deeper and put a lot of sand and charcoal to keep the water out of the floor? Just some ideas.
