I dig a War Trench modeled after the ones used on the front lines. Trenches are not a new in strategy of war, they have been used since modern military. The army would dig trenches to protect from horizontal fire, and projectiles as being in the war hole means you are not visible, and can not be shot at. The trench is an interesting structure to protect self reliance. I do not support war of any kind, and my thoughts are with any civilian or soldier enlisted or whom volunteer, to fight against unjust powers.
In a previous video on my channel, we built a Japanese Spider hole - which I would encourage everyone to take the time to watch.

While I've built these war-time structures, I would not like anyone to misunderstand my motivation for doing so.
I am not a warmonger. In fact, I do not support physical aggression, except for very specific circumstances. Physical force should only be applied in extreme circumstances such as for self defense, or for defending against physical force against the innocent, and weak.
I believe peace should come first, through diplomacy, through active negotiations and compromise, through dialogue - even if it means speaking with very bad people.
My stance on war is that all war is bad, and war is designed only to benefit those calling for it, never for those who are enlisted to fight in them - those are always the victims.
The Ukrainian trench isn't unique to Ukraine. Trenches like what I'm building today, are found throughout war situations. Trenches conceal humans from danger. They permit people the dignity to rest, and to sleep, eat, and to feel secure when threatened.
I can't help but wonder if people, a mammal, have this urge to dig, to get below the surface, stemming from a history that was much, much closer to what kept us alive when humans were far less dominant on planet earth. Small mammals hide underground to escape predators - because it works.
In this video, I plan to explore the idea of creating a simple secure structure using basic hand tools that can easily house people in times of crisis - to hide their silhouette, and keep them protected from being made victims of invasion.
I support survival, I do not support encroaching on people's sovereignty, of any kind, by any nation, and certainly do not support the obsession of masters of countries with meddling in people's personal affairs.
I support ---- self reliance.
I build an authentic Japanese military spider fox hole with just a few basic tools including a small army shovel, some metal buckets, and some rough saw timbers to help create a safe place to sleep overnight in case of impending war.
A spider hole is mirrors the hole created by a trapdoor spider who will tunnel and then cover the top of the door to conceal itself.
A spider hole is usually shoulder-deep, and round, protective enough to camouflaged lid a solder from attack. A soldier will be able to stand upright and then fire a weapon without being overly exposed. A spider hole is different than a foxhole in that a foxhole is usually deeper and designed to hide or conceal a fighter.
A spider hole is usually hastily dug, whereas a foxhole is done with more care.
Spider holes were used during World War II by Japanese. Saddam Hussein during the Iraq war was captured hiding in a spider hole.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done!
