DIY Survival: Shelter Episode 2: Digging the Bunker (Part 1)

We rent an 8,800 pound Mini-Excavator to dig a 35x45 foot hole for our underground bunker. I have never used one of these before so this video covers the victories and defeats of using these machines.

Lot of lessons were learned, specifically the first place we attempted to dig we couldn't even scratch a rivet due to lots and lots of rock. We then relocated to a spot on our eleven and a half acres that we knew at least had clay and started digging there. A lot of footage was lost on the initial dig portion due to the camera overheating (who knew).

After two days of digging we managed to get the hole down to about 3 feet across the board with the intent of renting a skid steer to dig the rest of the depth. That'll come in part 2!
