I want to dig a pit measuring 5m x 5m x 5m (16ft x 16ft x 16ft).
For this, I plan to rent a mini excavator, but all the mini excavators I’ve found have a maximum digging depth of about 2 to 2.5 meters (6.5 to 8 feet).
What would be the best way to do this? Has anyone had experience with something like this?
Maybe there is a video I haven’t found yet, or some kind of guide?
I will need to dig a ramp or something similar to get in and out of the pit somehow!
I would be very grateful for any useful tips!

People often seriously underestimate how heavy soil actually is in such burial situations. When people can be buried by significantly lighter snow, they are crushed by soil. It’s not just about a few crumbs falling down, but about a whole cubic meter (1 cubic yard) landing on someone instantly. That can easily weigh a ton or more.
As long as a person is only buried up to the chest with their head and upper body exposed, suffocation is unlikely. That’s why slopes or embankments are only regulated starting from a certain height.
YouTube tutorial videos are great for simple tasks when you want to quickly learn how to do something more easily or better. But for life-threatening situations, it’s important to have proper knowledge or receive professional training.
