Yes it looks really cool , but i think I will do something like on the other photo but with raised bed.
Man you shouldn't showed me that bunker shelter , now I will have that in my mind until summer , until I will build it

Saw the you tube video from survival lilly and liked the concept, could be adapted in many ways to suit your own specific requirements

Why not build a simple lean to shelter to kip in with a long fire.... then during the day, start work on your bunker shelter. It'll keep you warm and busy

Maybe you can find some ideas from paleoplanet

On photo "bunker" earth lodge, zoologist Victor from piterhunt had made in summer, and it was long story.

PS:
Attention for all cold weather shelter, right ventilation construction to prevent Carbon monoxide poisoning.

Good idea

I like the look of this shelter.... I would suggest closing the back wall completely, build a raised bed there and maybe some sort of reflective material behind you to reflect the heat from the fire back onto you... .if you use a big tarp for the roof and then camouflage it with leaves it should be not too difficult to build...
if you're just 200m from a forest road make sure to keep the vegetation around your camp intact and fires smoke-free to reduce risk of detection

Pit houses were common for winter village camps all over North America. Open fires and a very ingenious rock-filled tunnel for fire air.
Wanuskewin was occupied for some 6,000 years. Some had cold air well entrances and elevated sleeping benches. I would like to experience about 2 weeks of winter in one
Summer camps and meetings meant travel with much lighter weight/portable coverings.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, most winter camps were selected for environmental shelter from the landscape.
Summer and fall salmon and trout camps. . . well, the fish don't come to me!

On Haida Gwaii, the Haida people build stone weirs for salmon fishing, the water is about knee deep, perfect for spearing. They still cultivate mussels, oysters and clams.
There's good evidence that Pacific sea levels rose some 200' with the end of the last ice age. Just a year ago(?), Parks Canada had a couple of divers swim out and down the projected
courses of several salmon bearing rivers on Haida Gwaii. They found fishing weir patterns of rocks, just as deep as they could manage!

UNDERGROUND shelter = no-one can find it = no-one can steal stuff...
