1:08:07 The wooden plaque that hangs over the entrance: "It's a dugout - not poaching, not terrorist, not Satanic, not *insert any frightening word*. This dugout is used for the development of tourism and outdoor activities. Any traveler who went hiking in our beautiful places can warm up, eat and spend the night here. Take care of nature, other people's work, and feel like at home!"

Thank you and God bless you all ,,, from SW Ohio, USA ,,, l am 73 years ,,, with 9 children ,,, 23 grandchildren ,,, 3 great grandchildren ,,, retired carpenter ,,, Our Creator has blessed us all very much ,,, I enjoyed this video very much !

This young man is amazing.Never have enjoyed so much watching videos on utube. He’s neat ; a fantastic carpenter his home is efficient and boy can he cook,!Did I say amazing!With no music in the background just a totally quiet and peaceful experience. Thank you ever so much.

The construction of the oven sitting on the floor, directly on the ground, to radiate heat through the floor is very clever. Brick construction also distributes and conserves heat more efficiently.

I hope that you know how much all your hard work is noticed. This video is perfect therapy for the person, like myself, with insomnia, and in addition, could never physically achieve such challenging things. It's extrememly rewarding to see someone else accomplish so much and do so much while I so comfortably while away the nighttime hours! Thanks, Alex!

I think this is the easiest way to prove that men don't need much to be happy. I'd be thrilled to have something like this in the woods.

My 5 year old son is very much into nature and camping and super restless little guy. We started watching the first video and he was so fascinated and eventually fell asleep and now on his fourth hour of nap. He hasn’t napped since he was one. I somehow moved on to the next video and almost finished it. We had a lovely afternoon, very relaxing.

I thoroughly enjoyed these two videos of you building this Cabin and modifying it to best suit your needs. You are a craftsman and a true adventurer. Kudos from the US Bless you and your love of the world our creator provided !!! Kind Regards TL Posey

I was thinking how Alex always points to things as he’s looking at camera. He’s so quiet. If I stayed by myself in the woods I would be having full conversations with myself the whole time! Lol

This video you shared, I very much enjoyed. I know how hard it is to cut wood every day To stay warm. I've been living off grid for over 20 years. I want to thank you so much for sharing This with everyone, Nashterovia

Love your builds, and how clean and organized you keep everything. So often I see intricate outdoor builds and the video stops there, and we can’t see the person enjoying what they just made. You stay and keep fixing it up more and more which is enjoyable to watch. You made the cabin a home, and your food always looks so good.

I liked the way you use the bricks in making improvised heater and at rhe same time using it for cooking your sumptuous foods.

Please rethink your gasoline storage area to outside the building. Gas fumes are heavier than air therefore gathering in that space which your stove fire could ignite

Love the hamburgers & chips idea.Cannot get enough of watching you make your meals.Great cook you are!!!!!

Your videos are absolutely very relaxing. Brings me back to my younger years. The woods, the underground house.... the atmosphere... love it, amazing. Could watch this for hours and hours.

The fire you made by breaking a dry log and closing it to fry food was very creative and clever.👍🏻🤩🤩

I'm very much enjoying this unabridged version. Already 51mins in LOL.

So nice to see the daddy teaching his child. Wonderful memories. So precious!

One way of maximizing the out door fire is to invest in a cast iron three-legged dutch over or a cast iron flat bottom dutch oven. Great for bread making. Also a cast iron kettle would be great for the small fire inside.

Love that he is teaching his child and instilling his passion. Absolutely love the video.

I from Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿 i enjoy your videos so much

I fell asleep watching TV and woke up and your channel was playing on YT. I’m amazed at how clever you designed your cabin and all the back-breaking work involved. I’m so impressed and I love to just sit in nature. I love your content and look forward to seeing more videos in the future!

Well done. Fantastic job. Your little house is becoming quite cosy...You are the kind of man I would need. Clever and creative 😊

When he brought in the tv lol That was my favorite part

I enjoyed every moment. Hard working and humble man, what made it was seeing the pure joy in his and his child's faces. Pure magic

I think he’s got his groove going on. He has made that little bunker cozy & homey. I’d spend time there & love every minute of it. Great job!!

I think, deep down, we all long for solitude periodically in our lives. This man has gone to an enormous amount of work to achieve that.❤️

Seeing your little girl at the end was the icing on the cake! What a beautiful experience!

Loved your video! Loved that you brought your son to meet us, thanks.

Great the little cabin👍👍 and with the TV super⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ good night 😴😴😴👋👋👋

Just when you think it cannot get anymore cosy and convienient , Alex proves it can ! Fantastic .

You are so IMPRESSIVE with that amazing wood building skill you have there Alex, it is so relaxing and fun to watch you make everything out of those trees, I wish I had that little house when I was living in the woods for a short time, your videos are Awesome thank you for making them for us, I pray for your continued good health and many more blessings ❤️

Only thing I would do different is have drop door in floor, to have dug-out lined food storage bin beneath cabin, for cold storage.

From American born and bred girl who loves learning about off grid living… MUCH RESPECT!

Wed. OCT.25, 9:10 pm, I dream of doing this at 68 retired female not happening. ❤your videos very relaxing to me.

I have to say: that ending was not at all what I expected. ❤

Delighted to have found these videos. Your use of demonstration rather than verbal direction makes it easy for anyone to understand what you are doing. Brilliant content.

Best cinema verite' long-term winter camping and survival I have ever seen !

Your videos, the love and care for your family...it's absolutely fascinating and helps me change my mind at night when I have cravings for bad stuff

Thank you for making these videos Alex! I can't tell what language you speak, but it doesn't matter because you make everything easy to follow! I enjoy watching your new projects, even when I can't tell what you're building you make it all very interesting and fun to watch! 🇺🇲🕊️God's Blessings and love to you from Pennsylvania USA!🙏❤️🗽

Congratulations! Well done!! Thank you for taking the time & energy to share your successful journey. It has been a thrill to watch you create this amazing home. How blessed you are. I pray for your continued health & good fortune. You have enriched & entertained this 70 year old lady from Minnesota. Sending love & positive energy your way. 🌏

I ran across your channel by accident last night and enjoyed watching you build this cabin and now this video. I can't imagine the hard work it takes to maintain this lifestyle. I know I could not do it. But you make it seem so relaxing and peaceful. All the work with a respectful and positive attitude. Thank you for documenting your experiences so that those of us who are not able to physically do what you do can still come along on your adventure. Hello from Smith's Station, Alabama. 👋😁

Alex, for the winter months to help insulate the window create a second frame with plexiglass to attach outside or inside the window or use a plastic window wrap (you may get some condensation inside the wrap though. Excellent channel, thank you.

This is so pleasing to watch. Uplifting to see basic resources being used to make life worth the effort of ingenuity. Unique master class. Thank you

34:03 I look at the peace he exhibits while working so contentedly.

I am not as talented as Alex, but I love seeing things I can do, done better. I praise his craftsmanship. I greatly envy his underground house, especially the 'Made it myself' part. BRAVO!👍👍Thank you for many hours of tranquil enjoyment.

That’s a crazy amount of work for 3-4 nights/month. That being said, I’m sure it’s something you can enjoy forever with the amount of good/hard work you put into it.

Growing up in the 60s in Canada we used to have antennas like that for TV. Now on 21st century we use cable. I miss the 60s.😮😢😅😊😂❤👊👍

I think this channel is absolutely fascinating. It’s like the dream I’ve had all my life. The downside is I don’t have to leave my Lazy Boy, I just watch Alex living his dream. My only exertion is using my thumb to Skip Adds. That’s not good. (I get winded. LOL) But at least I don’t find it necessary to ask where his bathroom is. Sheesh!

I dozed off and awakened sometime before midnight to this marvelous video. Thank you for your additional hard work in sharing with the whole world on KZfaq. New subscriber from Chicago, Illinois USA

End was so beautiful with your daughter I am from India I watched you both part and loved it so much its was so beautiful videos thanks for making such videos.

Bellissimo il piccoletto. Con un padre cosí , si divertirà sicuramente .

As an ex mountain woman of 30 yrs, & mountain FF of 10 yrs, you propping that wb stove sideways, leaning on Wood on both sides, & wrapping the gap, scares the halo off of me for you! That's literally begging the universe to keep you fire & C02 free!

THIS is especially good for the younger generations to see, many people may need to know these skills to survive in the future ❕😇❤️

So relaxing and better than any film from Hollywood. Thank you. Come home from work and watch this and all is right.

Nicely done sir! And nice to see someone cooking on coals and not flames. This is how you cook!

That's pretty damn good brother

Des souvenirs inoubliables pour votre petit, il en reparlera dans des dizaines d'années, merci à vous , et surtout bonne vie 🖐️🙏🌹🌲 PS : j'ai deux Samovars à la maison que je garde depuis des années... 🇫🇷

To save heat, you need a curtain made of warm fabric on the door. And make a threshold - you can see how the snow is drifting, it’s not airtight, heat loss

Very nice I love it Here are some tips get two strong wooden crates and place it on top of each other keep the lower one empty and the top one filled with veggies and cover it up with an blanket so the snow can get in Tip 2 get some water barrels to catch some water Tip 3 get an spiral windmill for some wind energy If this helpful plz share with others thx

такой положительный парень приятно что есть такие люди

Making memories and living the best life, priceless!!💙🙏

Do you know what's even better than taking a television there? A portable yet powerful short wave radio. Great place for reception there.

My friend and I were just trying to find something to watch and we just were completely glued to this from beginning to end... Amazing!

You're absolutely brilliant mate. Love the long format and content. And most important, you're thoroughly likable. Well done.

Epic story! One of the greatest adventures, brought to you be master craftsman Alex. Unforgettable classic.

Alex adorei quando ligou a TV 📺 pareceu a bandeira do Brasil ... seleção brasileira de futebol... Tua cabana está ficando pequena.. construiu fogão..fez armário..muito bom... abraço ... Brasil 🇧🇷

Mountain man, one with himself, labor of love and having basic skill sets. Very cool indeed, Cheers from sunny Sf Ca.

That is the prettiest, coolest paint job I've ever seen.

Introducing your child to this is golden!!! Well done

まるで物語に出てきそうな生活で憧れる 🎬🤍

!!! Cuantas cosas bonitas puede hacer una persona con una idea maravillosa. !!!Que acogedor log cabin !!!

I love what you doing man and when I finally pass on and go to the great hereafter. This is how I want to live in my afterlife. The way you're doing it is the right way and you give me hope for humanity

Brilliant mind and brilliant talent! Love watching your builds! Thanks for sharing, it is truly therapy for us😊

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Good you are teaching your kid survival skills

ENJOYMENT + --- Loved watching both videos of the progression. I've built a 4,000 sq ft home with my wife (all ourself) and quite an experioence. However, no way was I as impressed by you and your building this home alone by using the resources on the land and cutting and sizing everything, all by your lonesome. You're an amazing human being and thank you so much for sharing this experience.

If i was your mother…. I would be there right with you! You are a son to be proud of!!!!

Hi Alex, My husband and I really enjoyed watching your winter stay. We don't usually watch the same shows. When I walked into the living I was intrigued and had to seat down and watch . My husband now wants pork chop sandwiches !!

I really enjoyed your new, elongated video. Really appreciate that there is as little background music as possible in order to sustain the unique atmosphere of the cold and mostly quiet winter days and nights in the wilderness. Also, I do like it that you smile every now and then and do not take yourself too serous, like many other outdoor KZfaqr do! Thank you!

멋진 영상 감사합니다. 저는 한국에서 잘 보고있어요 😊 당신의 영상은 제가 아주 어릴 적 할머니 집에서의 추억을 떠올리게 한답니다. 마음이 따뜻해져요. 그리고 당신이 다음에는 어떤 요리를 해먹을지 기대가 되고 있어요 😁

Alex Wild Life, This is a beautiful presentation. You have honed your presentation skills ! Each portion flowed seamlessly into the next ; I could not stop watching and listening. The end was Brilliant ! Thank you for making the effort to share your experiences with us so wonderfully. I am so impressed with your cooking portions. BRAVO, SIR ! Blessings, Grace and Peace to you , your family and your team. The background views of the moon through the trees in such total darkness are mesmerizing. Again, Thank you.

Alex I love watching your videos. Watching you build this dugout was simply amazing. Keep bringing us more

there is no limit to perfection

Thank you very much for sharing the wonderful videos with us. this is inspiration for being out in nature more

This is the best slow tv I’ve ever watched 😊 thank you for sharing this with the world.

Hi ya Alex , been watching your videos ever since I started getting them in my recommended. That was some time ago.

Respect 2 Alex, as someone that lives alone (Tropical Nth Queensland 🌴🌴 Great Barrier Reef) Australia 🇦🇺 I can only dream of living like this, I miss the cold 🥶 weather, tho it’s been sort of cool weather here 4 winter, nothing like we’re you are, I loved this absolutely loved it, I’d be stoked to do that for a few weeks/months 😊sensational job mate ❄️❄️❄️ ✌🏼🇦🇺 ps the food looked amazingly delicious 😋 cabin from the outside is so aesthetically appealing🙌🏽

How wonderful to have these skills... I love how he organized his tools..... I was thinking it would have been awesome if he had made his bed a storage underneath. I'm a fan! 🌻

Brilliant…! Love the cabin. Football & Pork chop Sandwiches ! All the comforts of home ! Thanks for sharing !

I Love what he has done!! I think I could spend the night in there but Not alone 😅

Your video is recommending my video. Thank you.^^♡❤🥰😍🤩

Nice work!! Making it homey!!

I Really Enjoyed This Video! I Had To Laugh At Myself As In The Beginning of The Video I Saw That White Rope & Wire Contraption You Had I Thought Perhaps To Catch Some Wildlife To Eat, Then I Realized It Was Antenna & Cable 😆

Oh I love that bear print sweater 😍

Your're an inspiration to all of us, Strong Work, with much respect...

❤ thank you so much for sharing your experience with me 💐🍽🍷🍾

Your video is kind of magic. It is so comforting and in its simple way beautiful, and I could not stop watching on and on, although I have had enough of those "bushcraft" videos.

Thank You Alex (and your young one) for your wonderful videos and for the education of Maslenitsa 🦉👋
