Hello,
What do we do with all of the rock from the peoples tunnels?
True volume:
8ft diameter and 1 Kilometer Long = ~19,000 m^3
19,000 m^3 means a cone of 54 meters radius and a height of 6 meters
Location:
River and water: Bad
Landscaping: Quantity
Walls: One can only explain so much rock.
Art: Way to much is extracted.

DPRK is full of massive tunnel networks, they get brought up quite a bit when the Americans are whining about nukes.
Kek I just searched it and there are a bunch of articles on it, but this wikipedia article is even better:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Tunnel_of_Aggression>A total of four tunnels have been discovered so far, but there are believed to be up to twenty more.[7] The South Korean Armed Forces still devotes specialist resources to finding infiltration tunnels, though tunnels are much less significant now that North Korean long-range artillery and missiles have become more effective.[8]They're living the moleman dream.

What's the best way to support a tunnel? I'm talking sandy ground here, should I put up plywood at the top or will it keep itself stable at some depth?
No.2412
>>2411The easiest way to make a tunnel is to bury drainage culverts.
No.2418
>>2412I guess, good call. Could be hard to do if it's not a trench dig. Could buy some cheapo metal pipes and cut them in half maybe, bring them in as parts and weld them together inside.
No.2420
>>2411First, get a license for building tunnels, otherwise feds will get mad or/and the tunnel will collapse, wood works fine, although we aren’t XIX century Asturian miners, so steel is better

>>2420Glad I don't live in a federation. I'm thinking about doing it this secluded area, it's near (few kilometers away) a highway but the road and trails leading to it aren't even on a map since they were cut for logging before they started to pay attention to them. I checked all the hiking sites and no one has come within a few dozen kms of it, even went on a bike ride there on a few days and nobody was around. I guess I will try to tank as much information on tunnel digging from books (and take a course of some kind of digging related thing if possible), also thinking it'll propably need a tarp around the top for extra protection of the metal.
No.2422
Damn, we had a fort like this as kids. We dug a big trench, put crossbeams then scrap plywood then plastic tarp, then ripped pieces of lawns from people's yards and put them on top. Stealth bros. Filled it with pieces of carpet and old cushions. So good, just a really homely pneumonia trap.
I would honestly love to build a better one today. There are pictures of some recently built hobbit holes online. They looked really nice tbh, they were excavated into the side of a hill. Totally liveable.

>>2424Don't think I'll have a conveyor out in the woods, maybe a pulley system with buckets could do. Dump it in the local creek on a few km stretch should hide the evidence, or make a trail to some hole I've seen there. Will have to buy a cart in any case.
>>2427Thanks. I don't think mine will be as big as the figures have :(

Microtunnel boring machines can tunnel up to 60 feet an hour and if you don't mind crouching, they would be great for a tunnel network. Instead of crouching, you could install mine carts in the tunnels, that would be based.
They're as cheap as $45,000 on Alibaba, but that probably doesn't include everything to run it. Others are about $100,000, which isn't bad if you're sharing it with a group of people.

>>2847yes, vietcongs would often put entrances to their tunnels in pig pens since the pig feces would cover up the scent of humans and confuse the american detector dogs

One modern anecdote I'll say is I've seen in Ukraine that both sides use the "spam can" ammunition tins as containers. They put them into little dugout shelves. Also have seen whole firing positions built out of ammo cans filled with dirt. Stuff like that is only really doable in wartime measures. I do find it interesting tactic though.
