For an extra 100 bucks I'd stain the entire thing gel stain

Obtaining land is the first step. Most of us can't escape our small towns/cities.

What is the diameter of this culvert?

You are a pioneer in human mental capacity with that last statement. We need to teach this to our people, ASAP

well, well, it must be below ground not above ground and earth around it

Gee whiz in the first sentence you tell me where you are. Thank you. Houston TX

I have dreams of homesteading, please leave me with expendable cash.

What about moisture? Does it get moldy in there?

It's great bro but you got screwed on the hinges

Nice storm shelter too. 👍

I’d build it out of tree logs for free

Very nice

How do you manage the excess humidity and maintain the wood from not rotting over time?

I don't trust content from someone that gets their gravel from a bag 😂

I love your truck!

I'm from Louisiana and my grandmother had a root cellar. I remember wondering why it was so far from the house, about 50yrds. And then I realized no one knew about this root cellar but me.... hmmm. It all made sense. She'd had 10 kids. But a tornado was in the area once and her secret was uncovered when we had to shelter there.

Hello neighbor Mead Wa..
You mean in the panhandle right?

So how much for the metal tube?

We had a root cellar on the farm where I grew up in ND. My grandfather dug it out in the late 1920s. He made it so
it had walk in entry from the outside on one end, and the other end was up against the basement of the house and had a door where you could enter from the basement. So in the fall when they took in the potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and any other produce they could take it in through the walk in entry from the outside without having to go through the basement. In the winter they could enter from the basement to get what they needed without having to go outside. My grandma did all her canning in what they called a summer kitchen that was built just a few feet away from the ouside entry. Then she could take all her canned goods from the garden and various different types of cherries and berries and apples and whatever else straight from her summer kitchen where she canned it straight into the root cellar. They also did their butchering and sausage making in the summer kitchen, and she would can sausage and and spiced beef and put it in the root cellar. She also raised chickens, and she would can chicken and set it in there when she butchered chickens. There were bins with washed sand along the side walls to keep the potatoes and carrots in. They would put the carrots in the bin and cover them the sand, and they would stay fresh and crisp all winter. The potatoes would keep until June before they started growing roots. It was a cery efficient setup and stored food for the whole winter and did not have to go outside to get it. When my dad and mom took over the farm, they did and used everything just same. We sold the farmstead about ten years ago. The people who bought it move the old house off and put a new basement in with the new house, and they put it right up against the root cellar with a door so they can still enter from the basement, and from the ouside. They still yse it pretty much just like we did.

The little inspirational quotes from everyone are so patronizing and annoying. Fun video without that. Wow, working on something you want to is like better than something you don't want to, let me right that down. Jesus Christ

I expected to see Frodo when he opened the door or Grandolf , Samwise !!!LOL

well here in northeastern europe we still use them and their variations. the most used one these days is a storage space underneath a house, even apartments here have them. people store all kinds of stuff here, even bikes, but canned and pickled food is a staple you can find in any storage unit

Love this root cellar! 🫶🏻✌🏻💪🏻

What about mice getting in? Could they chew through the spool doors?

Impressive use of the spool as a front wall/door! Beautiful work! 🎉

That's a nice bin of Paps,great work!

Blackbeard should be a runner in my opinion, he had teleportation and was riding pegasus flying on his latest fight with law

Dude priced the door, not the tube.

OMG please slow down your camera movements. Now I have vertigo

Buy your gravel in bulk way cheaper bro.

I recently started calling myself Dick Proenneke Jr. I think that alone makes me the second greatest survivalists and root cellar builders to ever live!

A shipping container would have worked better

You didn't mention the $ for the galvanized culvert tube............?

Why does no one ever include their time as a part of the Bill? Like I work for no less than $50/hr and even in home projects. I’m like… I saved $6,500 doing it myself lol

Love this idea! Are you adding the gravel inside to level the floor, or is it for a different purpose? Thank you! Keep making great content! 🤙🏾

Can these be built in states like FL?

beautiful truck

How much was that $1200 culvert pipe ?

❤JESUS’LOVE ❤

Just don't store potatoes in them. They off-gas CO2 which can kill you.
