    I built myself a heating system using just 3 items: Ammo Can, Copper Coil, and Garden Hose. I used this off-grid heater to stay warm underneath the snow while I slept.

    I’ve watched a lot of UA-cam over the years, from influencers to sports to gaming. I can honestly say that I think this is my favorite channel I’ve ever come across. I’m no outdoorsman or craftsman, but there’s something so purely entertaining and enjoyable about watching someone so skillful craft something amazing.
    I’ve been watching your journey on the cabin from very early on, and genuinely look forward to every new episode.
    I hope you and your family are well, and thank you!

    Your method of determining the thickness of the walls is great. What I've done is break branches into about 1' lengths and insert them all around the outside of the hut. Then I simply dig until I hit a branch. Great video.

      Thanks for checking in, my friend! 🙂 I took some time off to be with my family, but now I'm back to work at the cabin. There's a dying maple tree that's been leaning over the cabin slightly, so it looks like my next job will be to take it down...in the next episode. Until then!

    What a wonderful treat to see you again after so long. Since you are usually so open about this and since you did not mention anything about the rest of the family, I'm going to take it that your loved ones are doing well. That is a relief given your long absence from SM.
    It must be a special type of snow that you look for when building your shelter cause every time as a kid that my brothers and I tried to make something like this, we always ended up at the bottom of a lot of collapsed snow (and of course loved it totally...lol)
    Hopefully it won't be so long before we get to share your next adventure. Take care and thanks.

    Love your creative idea for a snow camping heating system! I used to camp in the snow at high altitude, in a tent. All I used was a thin Mylar emergency blanket under my old down sleeping bag and a cheap tarp under the tent. The snow under the tent created the cushion. Now that I am older I love your heating idea. It is really genius.
    I always love watching your videos! All the best to you and your family! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍👍😀💕💕💕🌸🌸🌸❄️❄️❄️

    2:50 That scene instantly brought an old man to tears. Happy tears, I'm glad to say. It triggered flashbacks to childhood days of digging tunnels and snow forts/igloos in the snow drifts, all fortified with lots of snowballs for battle of course. lol Probably the happiest time ever, great memories. There's a specific detail , though, that might be very helpful for you. The inside needs rubbed. You need to create an ice barrier on the walls and ceiling by rubbing moisture into the snow. Think of it like painting the walls of your house and sealing the surfaces, making them easier to clean. To prove a point, try burning a snowball with a Bic lighter and watch what happens. Yes, it does start melting, but it also starts protecting the softer snow behind it. Back then no heat was used. Several old socks were put over one hand(make-shift glove) and dipped in water, then rubbed on the walls to create the ice layer. Once the layer is made, the drips disappear by running down the walls instead. The smoother the better. With you having heat inside, the moisture comes natural and starts dripping. Just rub it smooth. 👍

    This was great! I haven't had a good snow hut in years. I used to make them up in the mountains in Montana all the time, they're actually pretty comfortable and you don't have to worry about them caving in when it snows hard during a blizzard. Better than a tent. I always did igloo style huts, where I could build a fire inside but I love this idea! I never even thought of something like this.

    Looks amazing. Really love the idea of the heating system. Instead of a campfire, have you considered using a wooden stove connected to the coils, that you could keep inside a cave or a cabin? I would imagine it would make you less dependent of the weather, so you could be safely inside the cabin during a winter storm.😊
