GRIMBO;S FOX HOLE PT 4.

[333ridge]

Good stuff Grimbo.

[wileycsg]

now it needs a rocket stove for warmth, a rocket stove dosent have much of a heat signature, for concielment purposes

[emperorzong]

I know where that is

[wolfbushcraft]

@emperorzong where is it then?

[emperorzong]

Where you built it!

[wolfbushcraft]

@emperorzong haha

[chazmyrtormtor]

A good way to waterproof these types of shelters is to put 6+ inches of debris on top, cover that with the soil you dug out, then pile more debris for camo, extra waterproof, and erosion cover. (Would work best with a slight slant on the "roof")

- Also, what is the song playing? Its pretty cool.

[wolfbushcraft]

@chazmyrtormtor agreed,i have been making improvements over the season,its now over a year old..if you go to my fire spirits video,thats the song..

[chazmyrtormtor]

@wolfbushcraft Cool, thanks.

[adamwunsch]

I am curious though. How does it handle in the rain? Does the roof keep the rain out and how about the drainage problem. Do you have water coming down the front entrance or seep through the walls? I would be really interested in hearing the answers to these questions. If positive I would definitely build one of these myself then.  These are my only reservations though.

[wolfbushcraft]

@adamwunsch there is always a bit of drip of the roof..ive dug ditches around the hole to channel water...remember its under ground so its damp,but im lucky in the fact that im on chalky soil which drains water quickly..basically raise yourself of the damp ground..

[fetymann]

...so is the purpose of this fox hole to hide? or just a means of semi hidden/warmer shelter? I'm wondering because once you're inside it, it's seems hard to cover the debris back over the board if you're not wanting to be seen/found.

[wolfbushcraft]

@fetymann .a board with a scim and foilage and debris stuck on works fine..

[gooplings]

i think the entrance is too big

[wolfbushcraft]

@gooplings no it isnt

[SymAmineC8H11N]

its prettygood but you should've gone deeper

[wolfbushcraft]

how would you know how deep it is,when you cant see inside it???????

[SymAmineC8H11N]

dig it it china.... i'll send share a video w/ you about how its always better to have your foxhole deeper

[wolfbushcraft]

@SymAmineC8H11N ,no its fine..

[jmcmaxx]

this looks awesome, it must be really warm in there

your mate

Jack

[wolfbushcraft]

ill take you up there next time your here if you like m8,then you can see all the camp site...

[jmcmaxx]

that would be awesome, i dunno when i will next be down though

[PyroPeeta]

great fox hole, it would make a really good shooting hide... take a .22 and nail a few ramblers, stuff their heads and put them on shields inside the hide... give it a baroque feel...

[seanweimorts]

i woulndnt go in it during rain, could collapse on you, dont ask, bad memories...

[Learnthebush]

lol grimbo when u went in there and closed the door i thought to myself "what a laugh it'd be of some random guy walked by and said to himslf "o awesome a camera" grabbed it and walked away"

cool hide man

[wolfbushcraft]

if you saw my camera you would think otherwise,he would have probarly left me his spare change...lol.grimbo

[moleman1961]

How about some camo net on the back of the door so when you close it up with you inside you are not left with a plain expanse of square wood showing? or some "U" nails in it to stick fresh branches and vegatation!

[wolfbushcraft]

im going to work on the board i put back,and yes probarlay a scrim net over the hole..

[wizzla111]

great shelter.

[WEZO24522164]

all 4 parts are great cant wait till the decorators have finished ....what if you made some holes along the edge of the board then tied some loops to the top ridge of the entrance then maybe the board would lift up and over and lay on top ....great series of videos thank you ...wez

[grtdaneviking]

looks cold ther but no snow,and the leaves are green do you ever get snow?

[wolfbushcraft]

we had a light snow flurry a few weeks ago

[larrylynn123]

Great job!  When can I move in?

[86mountainman]

Sure would like to see in side.

[wolfbushcraft]

i will try after the decorators have finished lol

[johnjayrambo11111]

great work grimbo 5/5 very well camoflauged and very strong .

malc.

[capreolus4]

exellent shelter *****

[ThePredator95]

wow looks amazing 5/5 and fav

[seanmulhall]

Awesome shelter. With a shelter that well concealed you can now spend time making it more permanant, kowing that little scroats wont come along and destroy it.

[SpacedTime]

Scroats lol

Thats why i don't like to build or leave anything out of my own property. You don;t know who is roaming around looking for something to burn/vandalise.

It's almost like if you leave something that you have made out in the woods, you are making yourself a victim by giving them the opportunity to ruin it for you.

I guess the challenge is to make it invisible like this.

[wolfbushcraft]

yes its a good challenge..

[WindRider707]

I like the first level of response in some martial art styles . . . "Evade"

LOL

I like to be low key in the woods too esp if leaving stuff, way to go.

[wildlifeed]

WOW!! it turned out amazing Grimbo!! Blends in great. Very cool!! I want to make one, when the ground thaws (LOL). 5/5

Cheers mate, Ed

[Caveman0713]

hey grimbo, do you have any thought of how to control the debris so that you could better your concealment? possibly using some pine pitch on entrance covering and covering with debris or even making a woven thatch of sticks to control debris in case of a emergency concealment situation?

[wolfbushcraft]

yes you do have some good ideas..thanks..

[raindog951]

That's turned out brilliantly. Most people would walk by without seeing it at all I reckon.

[charper3006]

Thats is great. How long did it take you to build it?

[wolfbushcraft]

this is its fourth day of work..

[hobbexp]

cool  5/5

[godsend420]

good job it looks nice 5*
