I made an igloo in my parents back garden when I was 12 using a rectangular plastic bucket to make the bricks. The plastic bucket was wrecked by the time I was done. I’m 56 now; it was the last time I had snow at Christmas.
Viel Arbeit!! Aber dieser Mann kann nicht nur Igloo bauen, sondern auch kochen!! Mit Knoblauch, Rotwein.... Lecker! Der Ofen im Igloo hat mich beeindruckt! Da muss es draussen schon sehr kalt sein, dass das Geschmolzene schnell wieder friert! Tolle Landschaft, Natur, kalt, blauer Himmel, Sonne!!! Top Video!!👍
It seems to have taken him several days, judging by the jump cuts in the video revealing that the weather and lighting changed drastically during the digging... That goes against the misleading title that would make us believe it was an emergency shelter to survive one night. This is not at all the way real igloos are built... An experienced Inuit can *build* an igloo in only about one to two hours cutting snow blocks and fitting them together from the inside using only a snow knife or a saw. No shovel required. The structure in this video would have to be called a snow cave dug out of a compacted snow mound. It Requires much more work and much more time compared to a real Inuit igloo.
@@marco21falcon It has been done. You could have saved yourself a lot of work and time by first watching a 10 minute film made many years ago showing how a real igloo is properly built.
I can smell that food cooking in my mind . And it smells good. I used to do stuff like that when i was a young man, i miss those days. I never go out on any adventures anymore. I still have the skill set and if the apocalypse was to happen, meaning WWlll (it's closer than we think) i have no doubt i can and will use every skill i learned along the way to survive out in the wild for a long time before the fallout overtakes me. I always keep my bug out bag updated and ready to go at any given moment. Stay strong , Live long.
Usually when the native people and Inuit built igloos they have an elevated platform on the inside and usually you have a couple of people sleeping with you it can actually get rather warm and cozy at a pretty good 58 degrees Fahrenheit
I used to build them in my backyard. I would always build a small wall a little out in front of the entrance so it could serve as an additional windbreak. I always had to remove my heavy coat while I was finishing up hallowing out the “igloo” (snow fort), otherwise I would sweat too much and get colder. They are easy to build and can really help to survive. A little sun during the day and they harden up really well later that night. You have to have a thicker dense pack snow though. Not possible to make well with powdery snow.
Wow, building an igloo to survive a freezing winter night solo? That's some serious survival skills right there! Watching you construct the igloo from scratch was both fascinating and inspiring - it's incredible what can be achieved with just snow and determination. And the fact that you spent the night in it adds a whole new level of adventure and authenticity to the experience. Your resourcefulness and resilience are truly admirable. Thanks for sharing this epic winter survival journey with us!
Awesome work! When I make an Igloo that size, I always pitch a Bivy inside to give myself another layer of insulation for bedtime. A bit overkill, I know. I just like the added comfort :)
Thats sooo cool! I just read about 'why we get cold, how igloos work, how cold and hot air works in an igloo' and got so curious to see one being made by a human and not a cartoon😂 you're so impressive man! Thanks a lot!
I would use small branches, say 10-15 inches long, placing them into the top roof of the igloo before removing snow from the inside. If you then carve up to the end of a branch, you know not to go further. Just a thought to protect the safe thickness of the igloo’s ceiling.
@ Heh heh…the twigs would be the least of my worries if that happened. But better yet, spend the last hours of daylight making the exposed sticks on the outside into sharp points…a protective layer for those bears😆
One has to remember that the laws of Conduction, Convection, and Radiation apply, and while it is possible to maintain a specific temperature, that temperature will remain below the dispersed radiation temp otherwise it will simply begin to melt away. 80% of heat generated outside the core temp of your body will be absorbed into the ice (conduction), the other 20 percent will be lost via convection before it rises to the top level of the igloo. The primary function of an igloo is to 1. deflect freezing winds and snow. In order to increase the temperature, the ice used to build the igloo must be seasoned to melt at a higher temperature by increasing the density of the ice. to protect from frozen winds and blowing snow, an igloo can be built rather quickly, but to build one that can maintain any heat, will take some time. and remember, Inuit people don't sleep in the buff, they are always wearing heavy skins and furs inside and outside the igloo. The general rule is that a well-seasoned igloo can keep the inside temperature about 15 to 25 degrees (f) warmer. Not bad, but not good when the temp is anything below zero. Try one out in -30 0r -40-degree temps. The one built here may add a bit of warmth if any but is best for deflecting the cold. This poor b*$&^%d looks like he hit the ice with thermos, heavy clothing and a sleeping bag and I can guarantee he was at the minimum, extremely cold.
Nice! This came in my recommendation and I got so curious and surprised coz I have never seen someone actually make an igloo. Only ever seen in cartoons😅😅. I was so afraid he will break the wall from inside when carving the snow as he was going for window pane thickness for the walls and the light was seeping through but wow it survived 😮😂😂😂
Lots of work. The only thing i might have done differently is to put the stove pipe straight up through the ceiling. Better draw 4 the smoke, but other than great little place, i would use it 4 as long as i could. Considering all the work, you did a great video thanks
It's cute. Not very realistic, but it's cute. Problem is, depending on the low temperatures, and it's not like you're having to endure Gail force winds or extreme snowfall, but depending on the low temperatures of the evening you would have to re-stoke that tiny little stove at least 8 or 9 times throughout the night just to prevent hypothermia. Effectively assuring sleep deprivation. Stay awake to stay unfrozen. Sleeping during the daytime when it's warm, but then you'd have to quickly gather wood and find food as soon as you wake up. Which means the sun is going down again.....vicious cycle.
@carltime334 Yes Carl. I graduated high school. 4.0 average. Graduated college, too. 3.8. I was only making a point from personal experience living in these conditions for 3 years. Ty.
@@IndigoMason1l1l oh ok sorry, I just didn’t think someone who would make such a condescending comment like your original one would have spent much time doing it rough. Thanks for sharing your high school and university grades with me, even though I don’t see the relevance. Have a nice day.
@carltime334 Why don't you go give it a try for yourself, Carl? Condescending? Lol. Do you respond to every comment you read as if the proprietor of that comment were a complete idiot? And "I'm" condescending? Okay, Carl! Whatever you say.
I believe that the proper name for what you have built is a quinzee. It is a snow shelter but it is not an igloo. Good build, but this one obviously took days. Less fancy but just as effective versions can be built in a day.
As always, your inventive/rational, hard-working shelter building. Just admirable. The candle lit towards the end of your video seemed short, for 20 mins e.g., was it because of possible CO poisoning? Also as you used the stove, didn't you worry about the poisoning? Since the surface of the snow wall inside seemed to be intact from the heat produced by the stove, the inside was not warm (if not cold)? Since I have no knowledge or experience of igloo, I had those questions...Even such as my knowledge, I can think that outside air is sucked in through small airways on walls as it is heated and go up through the chimney and away the igloo, therefore, no concern of CO poisoning...?
I totally loved that journey Dude. I was almost screaming things to do seconds before you where doing them. You are extremely intellegent. 🤨 . . . . it had to have been a good night sleep, nice and toasty ... well, almost toasty
@@BalwantSingh-vi9cri dont think there is a camera man, he may have placed down the camera somewhere just to get some shots but non of the shots are moving like human.
What it's this great ending huh?! Lol!! But great video, I'm never see someone make igloo from nothing, you don't even use brick of ices!! I was afraid that you break the "thin" layer of snow wall all time but you do it right!! I can't realise what is living or camping in such cold weather and with those tons of snow lol!! If someone could tell me what the herb add in all vids, it have taste of "erva mate" or so?! I'm very thankfull if some could say!! Here in my country we just have few amounts of snow so... Just living in Canada or Europe for I have such joy of camping and doing jokes like that lol!! And I'm just thinking how cosy is those...>=> ... stoves and how the chamine dont melting all igloos' wall?? I watch a vid that show a fire that last more than 1 day, it's all horizontaly logs, not so big like those, but they spread dirty, some sand above woods, and 3 floors of woods, it seams work it but I don't know huh! Anyways, thank you to fine video before sleep!! I'm subscribeing to not lose other vids, hugs from far aways, or "see ya!" :))
Exactly I checked the comments to see who has sense I’ve never even been in snow and u know this is a process definitely not a 2 day project and I even think I saw a snow shovel machine that’s used for driveways in the background 😂🤦🏾♂️🤷🏽♂️
thanks for the impressive demo. lucky the weather was fine but a massive amount of work for one night. some sort of one hour tent would be an option. phil

It looks very pretty, but, I'm from Florida and can't imagine being in that environment for 60 seconds. I admire these guys spirit of adventure.
