3 months of winter I live in a dugout | Comfort and warmth in severe frosts and snowfalls 

When I lived in the rockies I had occasion to build small shacks in several very remote locations, I had even found a few "ghost" villages and claimed a shack for shelter. The shacks were fitted with food supplies, clothing, and a few tools as well as candles, a kerosene lamp or two, first aid supplies, blankets, a tarp or two, cooking utensils as well as an assortment of other useful things. A few times I had found upon arrival at one of my retreats that someone had been there, used it, ate some food and left, making sure the place was tidied up. Later on another visit to the location I discovered that food and other supplies had been brought in and left with a note of thanks. I never had any vandalism. I still know how to get to every one of my very very remote getaways. I miss the adventures, I'm 73 now, I have been effected by agent orange from my 13 month tour in Vietnam, I'm not as robust as I was in my 30's. If you are ever 4 to 5 days from civilization out in the wild country of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Arizona or New Mexico and you come across a small shack full of good stuff and with a big PJB on the door, smile, enjoy and maybe think of me,,,And please, sit out at night and look at the big sky above, smell the fresh mountain air and listen to the night sounds, if you hear a woman scream that a mountain lion, if you hear a child laughing thats a fox, 8f you hear someone whistling thats an elk, if you hear something grunting and farting thats a bison, and of course there are all the night birds, insects and other creepy crawly things, and of course the sound of the epic struggle to survive played out a thousand times a night. You will also find an incredible Vista stairing you in the face with the morning light.

I am blown away by people complaining. I believe if you gave them a million dollars they would ask why didn't you give them two. LOL. I had not seen this video until now and really liked it. You kept busy working at making things better - hats off to you. I am from Indianapolis, IN USA

Im from the USA and love the watching these video. I love natural. And love watching how people live in the woods. Very peaceful with any one around. Thank for sharing your video. This my first time watching this video.

Talented young man. What a fantastic place you've built. Best wishes from North West England.

I enjoy watching you and you show all of us how to survive

I see you cleaning the window. Tip. Squeeze out some wet paper or old cloth. Dip in fine ash from you fire box. Clean your window with this. It is also excellent for cleaning fire box viewing glass but make sure glass is cold. Enjoy your camp. Cheers Dave from Australia.

Greetings from Maine, USA. Great job finding those wild mushrooms and cooking them. Even in Winter, the forest has abundance if you know what to look for.

it’s amazing how a person can live so simply yet still be comfortable and cozy….and have everything you really need too.

Parabéns!!! Homem guerreiro, Dna de vencedor

A great time out at the dugout with new additions.The damper on the stove shall give you more heat with less wood.Thanks for sharing

Very beautiful, thank you for sharing. I've always thought it would be wonderful to have a couple dozen dugouts like this spread around a large trail or piece of nature, and you could just move around over a few years :)

THANK YOU for posting a well-made video full of interesting images!😊

Привет класс супер удачи тебе👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wow! You're making your cabin homey... Keep it up!❤

Tiempos hermosos❤❤❤😊😊

Ein schönes Video, das ganz viel Ruhe und Frieden ausstrahlt.

The longer the stove pipe, the more heat is generated in the cabin itself. That’s genius. I’ve not seen this method.

It is very nice and peaceful thank you for sharing it with us all the best from Texas USA😊

Greetings from Denmark. Thanks for sharing your video with us. 3 months is a long time to spend in a cabin, but it seems that there are many things to do to fill the days. You have provided water and heat, but where do you get food supplies from? You can't possibly haul food that needs to be used within 3 months from the first day you arrive? Don't you sometimes feel a little lonely in the dark winter days?

Where do you sleep? Where do you get your food supplies for 3 months? Where do you go to the bathroom? Hiw much wood do yoj need to keep the fire birning for 3 months? Where do you bathe? Where do you wash yoir clothes? Ehere do you dispose of all yoir rubbish? Did yoi bring the cement mix with you? How did yoi transport everything to the site? How do you get the energy to charge batteries for camera and lighting?

Beats the hell out of a trench in the Ukraine.

Did your military teach you your survival training?

Where abouts is that forest?

Neve eu só gosto de uma marca de papel higienico, Frio nada a ver comigo, apesar de eu ter nascido num estado do RGsul no brasil que os invernos sao bem rigorosos.

It's interesting that none of that thick snow on the roof is melting....he must be keeping ALL his heat in the cabin....

Se passar mal,como faz,se está sozinho na floresta de gelo?

I don't believe he "lives" here in this shack but in the neighbourhood, Hot water for his drink is from a flask, My old Thermos held water hot for 12 hours unfortunately it tasted 12 hours old with no ill effects

Be better if you took the logo off the screen
