Anyone ever build an underground shelter, bunker, cabin? Out in the woods? Tell me about it.

I dug up a 60ft by 4 and a half feet pit to build a bunker/tunnel in and would love ideas.

Oh wow, major fuck up there lol, 45" wide x 2meter long with a depth of 4 and a half feet deep, I'm going to go lower when I come back but it maybe unsafe, the walls might collapse on me.

I'm not too sure, I just kept digging and digging, I just hope I don't hit a water table, I'd like to stick a plastic septic tank in there and backfill it, I found a 2 piece plastic septic tank And I'm gonna buy it this week.

She was right, I work in excavations and we use shoring cages to prevent collapse, collapsing walls are no joke, all that earth will absolutely crush you.

I’ll double that. I do foundation repair and have been trapped during a cave in. Absolutely not fun and happens incredibly fast

bury a shipping container so it can collapse in on you.

I helped one of my mate's build a root cellar/bunker by his hunting cabin. It's probably not what you had in mind for this thread though, seeing as we dug it out with a mini-excavator

To give you fair warning, plastic septic tanks (when empty) have a tendency to float out of the ground when the water table comes up. Mottled grey and orange/red/yellow colors in the soil are signs of a high seasonal water table. If it is a uniform brown/red/orangey color then odds are its well drained. Well drained soils often have sand and gravel under them, usually following waterways. Godspeed mole man

The closest I've come to it is digging dirt out from this giant boulder that'd cracked in half and building it up with sticks as a little fort
I think my dream home would be a kickass underground bunker with nothing visible on the surface but a little tool shed. Bonus points for if the door inside the shed was hidden.
Could eventually build a little cabin and larp as if that's my home when in actuality I am the luxury tunnel man
