Digging a Tiny Secret Underground House – Japanese Spider Hole | ASMR (Silent)



I build an authentic Japanese military spider fox hole with just a few basic tools including a small army shovel, some metal buckets, and some rough saw timbers to help create a safe place to sleep overnight in case of impending war.

A spider hole is mirrors the hole created by a trapdoor spider who will tunnel and then cover the top of the door to conceal itself.

A spider hole is usually shoulder-deep, and round, protective enough to camouflaged lid a solder from attack. A soldier will be able to stand upright and then fire a weapon without being overly exposed. A spider hole is different than a foxhole in that a foxhole is usually deeper and designed to hide or conceal a fighter.

A spider hole is usually hastily dug, whereas a foxhole is done with more care.

Spider holes were used during World War II by Japanese. Saddam Hussein during the Iraq war was captured hiding in a spider hole.

“Self-Reliance” is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson’s recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.

    Hoping that the spider hole is an ongoing project (ventilation, second exit, multiple chambers, etc.).
    Thanks again 😊

    Happy New Year Don and Kevin and Happy New Year to your families. Irene from Indiana. I would never sleep inside of any tunnel.

    Underground is not my cuppa tea. Been caving, it's interesting, but very dark and damp. Unless I was making a root cellar, I prefer not to be underground, or digging. We've had way more than enough snow already this winter to dig. But it was still fun to watch!

    Hell of a job there. Next time though I would insure your spoils (dirt, rocks, etc.) from the hole are farther away. You don't need that additional pressure on the ground above u. If u were the states and doing that in construction it would need to be at least 2 ft back as a matter of reference. ur shoring is good.
