In this video you will see the construction of an amazing and very cozy fireplace from round stones and clay inside my bushcraft dugout shelter.

It may seem that everything was very easy and simple. Took the stones, brought clay from the river, and laid everything neatly and quickly. But everything was much more complicated. The lower part of the fireplace is not complicated. But the middle part – the firebox, and the upper part – the pipe – were very difficult to build.
It was especially difficult to make a semicircular arch of stones, which is the upper part of the fireplace window. And it was also a big problem to lay out the top of the firebox in a semicircle 🙂
But i made it pretty well. True, the skin on my hands was worn off from constant work with rough stones and clay. When rubbed, the effect of sandpaper is obtained. Try getting your hands wet and rubbing them with sandpaper. Gradually, the skin will begin to wear off 🙂
But I survived that too.
The moment with the release of smoke into the dugout turned out to be not entirely successful.
When the pipe was heated, the thrust turned out to be very strong. However, some of the smoke still gets inside the dugout if the fire weakens.
I haven’t been able to figure out the reason for this yet.
Perhaps you need to make a chimney tooth?
However, despite this, if you stoke the fireplace and do not leave the fire for the night, the stones remain warm until the morning!
Great heater 🙂
I checked the temperature and humidity inside the dugout with a thermometer-hygrometer – inside it was warm and dry, but outside it was quite cool and almost 100% humidity.
This is a good result, I think.
I also tried the fireplace in the preparation of various, albeit simple, dishes. I baked a tortilla on the inside wall of fireplace, baked a lingonberry pie, cooked a baked potato. Very convenient and most importantly delicious!
Also, I made a cellar in a dugout for food storage. The temperature there turned out to be much lower than in the heated dugout. This is good.
And to add some daylight without opening the door, I removed some logs from the front wall and made a window there that is covered with floating poles tied with rope.
Finally, a mattress was made from moss and canvas bags. This will give more comfort for spending the night and add warmth from below.
Stay safe & thank you for watching!

Tell me what would you like to see in the next videos about dugout?
I have my own ideas, but I want to hear your opinion 😉
Write in the comments, let's discuss 🤠🙌
Imponerende og tålmodig. NEsten irriterende flink, hehe. JEsus velsigne deg!
PERFECTION!!! Love everything U built 👍❤️😁
WOW Asbjorn, You are very skilled. Did you plan out this little fireplace or did you just decide what to do as you were building it? It is very wonderful.
Oh that berry pie you made and cooked in the fireplace looked soooooo YUM!
A woodshed for the wood you will need to stock up on with the fireplace now would be a good addition and somewhere to sit outside, sheltered at least overhead, to eat and/or cook.
An Amazing video Asbjorn, I enjoyed watching very much. 💖💖
Will you be insulating your interior walls with clay for winter insulation? Your cozy dugout cabin and the beautiful fireplace and chimney you built is so impressive especially the arch to hang a kettle, pot or cauldron for cooking.
Nice…do it in the winter in a storm….
This is awesome but however these dugouts aren’t waterproof. Hard rain running down the mountain is bound to leak in. After the ground is saturated water will start seeping in thru the walls? Just asking. Thanks
You built a beautiful fireplace😊👏👏👏
Liked and Subscribed! Just wonderful.
For the potatoes, put down a flat stone in the coals and get it hot. Put the potato on it and cook. That will make the skin more edible. You can even baste with water if you like.
Best content on YT. 100% will come back, sub+bell. Stay safe 🙂
🏡🏔⛰🏞🏝🏜🏖🏕🌏🌎🌍🤩😍👍🏼
Wow what a great job on the fireplace! Such a nice dugout! We never see your camera equipment – lol. Love your videos – beautiful and interesting. How about you do a video about the dog you're going to get soon? lol…..Thanks
Hey y'all Canada 🇨🇦 lol 🇨🇦 😆 😂 🤣 😜 Here we go again more insults and lot's of wasting of taxpayers dollars 💸 again lol 😆 🤣 😂 😄 😜 lol 🇨🇦
Здорово конечно! Но думаю что задняя стенка жара не выдержит и начнет обугливаться за камнями, а потом пока наружу не выйдет..
Wow. What an incredible accomplishment. Are you renting it out lol.
A nên đầu tư thêm chất xám xây dựng thêm content để rA mỗi ngày 1 video. Chúc a thành công ❤️
Hello 😊 U always created a WOW factor in each activity u did. Great work dear. Why dont u plant flowers around the dugout to add more flora to the place? . Just a suggestion only 😁👌👍 Always waiting for the next n next n next….. Videos to come. Stay healthy n happy living ya.
Awesome!
Yes that's perfect Why aren't you using it?
yes that's perfect. Why aren't you using it?
It’s just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you. I myself started making videos about my adventures, so I’m interested in everything. Thank you for sharing, don’t forget to visit my channel too.
Как в сказку попал !
Absjorn, all your videos are amazing. You always do something new that surprises me. Only you know the work and time you have dedicated to make everything that can be seen in them. I imagine many hours and a lot of effort. Your channel has something special that I liked from the first video. I hope you will have many subscribers in the future. Thank you.
Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 🤚🏼
You really did a pretty great job on that fireplace.
Great couple of videos. How did it take to collect all those stones? Great addition the fireplace, Maybe add a flat stone over the chimney top for rain. Wonder how that sand will hold in the rain showers; why didn't you use a small tarp or mud seal the roof? Amazing work, with exceptional skills with basic tools. Any wild game or larger edibles in the area?
Now you can already live in that so comfortably… next ? Umm, if I may propose easy one, you seem to be able to smoke some ingredients with the nice chimney. ☺
