I’m sure you brought everyone back to their youth with the snow shelter, but you pimped it out. Open mind makes for awesome videos.
We are hard pressed for ice in Ontario, Chuck. It's no/low snow maintenance this year.
We got you Chuck. A Hice Ouse it is! Took me back to my days of building a fort.
Thanks Chuck! I follow your posts regularly and just moved out to Nova Scotia from Ontario to get away from the unhealthy stress. Your inspiration and knowledge of outdoor life, along with your life experiences have helped me tremendously. Keep the faith brother!
Thanks buddy. Appreciate it.
It’s great to see you have the time to build such a snow structure. I can see any future grandchildren are going to have a wonderful childhood. We average 40” of snow, not this year we have 4” so far and warm temperatures. So while you build snow houses(Chuck-loos) I’m going to drill a couple holes in the lake and catch a couple Crappies for dinner.
Good plan!! And love the “Chuck-loo” lol
Chuck , you made me feel all nostalgic for my youth! Lol.
build it and they will come, nice snow fort Chuck
What a great job the dogs is having just as much fun as you are love the video
Chuck I love this! As kids we always went to the town snow pile and dug caves in it. This brings me back. Thanks ole pal.
Wicket job on the ice house.I have a pile of snow shovelled up also.will make a smaller version.Thats if the mild weather doesn’t take it.
I did this a few times when I was younger stayed for a week at a time lived off patatoes and Lake trout.Great fun
I remember building iceouses where I grew up in Little Hearts Ease NL. Great job Chuck!
What a GREAT build Chuck, can't wait for more videos of this one. 👍🏻
Awesome awesome awesome. I guessed right!, 👏👏👏👏👏👏😁
You did!! Lol
That looks like the dogs enjoy playing king of the castle. Gonna have to call it the Big and Little Butt Hutt. ❤
Haha. Good name!!!
Chuck you make me proud to be Canadian! Best snow fort ever! Better than i use to make as a kid.
That's awesome!! Reminds me of being a kid again. In my much younger days we had a snow dump they called it in the field at the end of my street where they dumped all the snow removal snow from around town. My friends and I had half of that field hollowed out with tunnels from one snow hill to the next and candles in each one for light and warmth. Nothing else to do as a kid growing up in Northeastern Ontario. Ours weren't quite as luxurious as yours but we did have pretty much a small house with stairs and all carved into one parking lot hill. It's how we survived those -20 to -40 temps outside all day. We had snow shelters all over the neighborhood!
We have so many memories of this as kids too. Such a thrill to build!!
That was awesome with your Chuck wagon making all the light work for you!! Dogs are having a ball with you in the snow. Brings back memories as a kid living in Ontario with lots of snow building sculptures and snow huts. Love it
Great episode Chuck! One of my favourites yet..❤
That is a cool project. No problem getting snow in Cape Breton after 150 cm snowfall. All the best.
Unbelievable!! I was receiving pics!!
This is a lot of work Charlie but worth it! Those heaters are awesome I have 3 of them. I have two in our sailboat and one for a spare. What a great thing you have built Chuck!
Nice winter hobby !
Great video. The Ice house looks awesome. Great job !!!
Nice winter hobby !😁😁👍🇩🇪
Awesome job, brings back great memories
What an amazing project, all of our snow in Brigham City Utah has melted.
Thanks for sharing such a fun adventure.
Awesome video Chuck as usual .. Thanks !
Good job! Send some cold and snow our way to Northern Ontario!
great video chuck... nice ice cabin. thank you.
Fun video
Love it
Man, Chuck…I now know what LOL really sounds like! Love your videos and can’t wait for the next one…Mike in Colorado
Wicked video chuck👌
Brought many memories of making these shelters growing up in Goosebay. We have done open fires in these and I’ve even made a tin stove for the bigger ones.
I do remember taking a stick on fire to all the walls to melt slightly, sealed it up nice and makes walls solid.
When I was real young I remember digging a 3 level shelter in a snow pile made with a loader. Used to play tag all over the hill. It had many different sliding trails throughout the shelter.
One of my favourite childhood memories.
Thanks Jason buddy for the tips. Great comment
Very cool my friend
Snowlicious episode!
New word for my vocab!! lol!!
Another great video, especially loved that one scene where you did your best "John Mclean" in the ductwork! LOL
😂😂
That is so cool. You bring me back to my childhood. I spent so much time building ice house. But I never cook in it 😂😂😂
Great video buddy.
Pat
How can someone not cook something up 😂😂😂. Tks buddy
Fantastic project buddy. Looks great. Take care.
Get snow house.. I like the window idea..need one of those in the deer hunting shack..love the interior decorating .. getting lots of wind and snow here in Nova Scotia,,looking forward to the next video
I was getting pics from Antigonish, Halifax and Kentville!! Amazing!
Back your tractor up close to the opening and shovel the snow into the auger
Awesome job.
Sooooo cool Chuck, you can't take the boy out of the man.😊
No sir Doug. In the woods of Toby Keith “don’t let the old man in”
Did you know" dont let the old man in" originally came from a quote from Clint Eastwood and Toby used it in his song. We have good souls all around us
Sno-boler! 👍
Chuck, I love your videos so much. I know you put a lot of effort into your shows that nobody realizes. I watch so many of your shows and now my wife has the bug. I will be watching when you get to 150years old lol!
Haha. Tks bud. Really appreciate your kind words and glad you tune in. Say hi to your wife as well
Superb. So jealous. Wow
So look forward to your vids, smilin whole time ☺
Friggin' awesome Chuck, cheers from da ROCK!
Wow you had a couple busy days and another great video like always
Awesome video, Chuck!
Chuck ole man, you done out done yaself lol. Loved the video. No trouble to punch a night in that spot! Keep em comin
When you first started shoveling I was wondering why you weren't using the Chuck Wagon. Then you switched over! Nothing like a grown boy and his toys! 😂 Looking forward to see what else you do with it!
Haha. Had to happen my friend loo
Chuck that’s amazing great job 👍
Tks bud 👍
Wicket!!
Awesome video. Impressive.
Absolutely wild fellow Canuck. That’s awesome Chuck👍 always enjoy the vids and updates hope all are good! Cheers from northern Ontario
So so awesome chuck this is really great !!! Keep up the great work !
Well Chuck you've outdone yourself. Great job my friend. Wondering if you will rent it to me for a few nights lol.
Given the fact we are virtually from the same home town you get a coupon for the first night lol
Sounds good. Lol. God bless.
Great video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😁
Wow Chuck!! We are impressed here in Dartmouth NS…love it!!
My daughter was shopping in Dartmouth on Saturday 👍
👍👍👍
Man o man that's awesome
Looks awesome sir 👍👍
Well Chuck I didn't think you could out do burying your tent for fun, but you did it , that is absolutely awesome your own Hice ouse lol. Absolutely awesome , you're definitely living the best life.
Haha. Had a lot of fun building the hice house bud
Pretty damn cool!
What a great project - loved watching it while snowed in here in Nova Scotia - I wonder if you get a look on your face that your wife recognizes and says to herself “ what in the world is he gonna do now “
I’m so used to that look now…because it happens nearly daily lol
Haha too funny - thanks buddy
lol - you're awesome buddy!
Hello Chuck,got hoodie and cup but have not been for a boil up yet,maybe next week after the snow storm that we suppose to get tonight and tomorrow.Happy trails.
Awesome!!! Send me some pics!!
How cool is that!!! Look out, you might just get some job offers from the Ice Castle in Quebec City!! That is an awesome place to visit if you’ve never been. Been there twice and it’s just as cool the second time as it was the first. Amazingly talented to work with snow and ice like that!! Very creative with your windows and door! And you even kept a pillar for stability!! Wicket!! I bet that was the best nights sleep in a while! Loads of blankets and those heaters going, it would be nice and comfortable I’m sure!!
Haha. Retirement job!!😂😂
Wow Chuck! I made a snow fort in a good ole Alberta drift several years ago which took me back to my youth but you sir, that snow shelter is on an entire level of its’ own! Very cool (pardon the pun)!!!
Thank you my friend!
Can Lorraine and I come and rent it for a couple of nights 😂👍,fantastic 🥰🇨🇦
Absolutely. A warning though: those windows arent half as tough as your truck window so it may break very very easily lol!!!! Anytime my friend. Thinking of you all the time. Can’t wait until we meet again.
Needs to put in a sun roof to see out lol
And if you put a door in and shut it I’ll be sitting outside, me and Paula lol
Hahahaha. Think it would take a lot of good grub to coax you guys inside lol!!!
Thank you for all your amazing videos, this video hit home as I used to build those 40+ years ago in the snow banks (yes don't do it now) and we would have a whole community of people in the tunnels around the property and drifts around the yard. Yes we had a couple collapses and no deaths by Snowplows (a couple close calls) and we had so much fun all winter. We had tables and chairs and played board games with candle lights....all when we weren't even teenagers...
Absolutely reminded me of when I was younger as well.
Hello again. Once again, I'm going to follow your video about the construction of winter flats very carefully and I'll respond to some suggestions. It's raining in Poland and it's +10 degrees. And this is the weather forecast until February 15. I envy you this winter, this snow and these frosts. Much health.
Loves it b’ye!! So awesome!! Not everyone can build an Hice Ouse 😂😉😊 Fantastic content as always and Melanie..what a trooper!
Haha. Love building the hice ouse lol
Thanks for this Chuck...made my day! So fun to watch.
If there was more snow and colder i would do the same in my backyard. I bet you could insulate the walls and ceiling with styrofoam panels and retain more heat. I would double pane those tupperware windows too😅.
Haha. That would mean I’d have to break my piggy bank and buy another one of those $8.99 Tupperware containers though 😂😂
Great video chuck
awesome ice house ,I guess a night run you 250 there lol your a very talented man , take care buddy
Open now for bids!! 😂🤣
Good morning Chuck. Just back from 3 day fishing trip and I seen your video. You would be hard pressed to find snow here in Northern Ontario. Great job building that snow fort. Thanks for bring us along you crazy guy.lol
Haha. Crazier every day!!!
Hey there Chuck ! You have quite the life there. What a wonderful snow house. We're just starting to get our winter here in nova Scotia. But I unfortunately don't have the time to build my own snow house. Have a great day, til next time!
Did you guys ever get the snow!! My cousin from kentville and daughter from Halifax were sending me pics. Had to be record setting
@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors oh yes. Cape Breton got 4.5ft of snow. I was plowing from Saturday at noon til Monday midnight with just enough time to go home and nap. Around 2ft maybe a bit more in Dartmouth.
@@KenC49 wicked sir. I wonder will you keep it. Hope you get to have some enjoyment out of it
@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors it all depends on what the weather does. I get called in to plow after 4inches of snow where I plow with only the grader. Kinda wish I would've bought a little ski doo I saw a month ago for sale. Never owned one and where I sold my quad , I need something to look at. Lol
Beautiful happy trails ❤
At first glance I thought you bought an old trailer!! Now to continue to watch the video. Looks like it’s got a Mmm section!!
Great looking meal there Chuck, Mmmm gooood.
Wife says you’re going to spray paint the interior walls, I say lay some carpets maybe fur carpets!!!!
We will be waiting for the next video!!!
Hahahahha. Just wondering how I’m going to keep it in tact all summer lol!!!
Chuck - We used to build those (smaller ones) in Buchans - not sure that Clarenville's weather would allow it. Anyway, Great job
Great video buddy it looks awesome
When I saw you with the shovel I was screaming in my head CHUCK WAGON lol then you pan the camera to it. Well done Chuck. What a great idea. Love the video as usual. Thanks buddy!
Hahaha. Had to happen lol
Looks like fun,great video.Guess the camper is snowed in till August lol
I may need to cut a new path around just to get it out 😂😂
Thanks for sharing this, what a great ice house!!! I've been wanting to make something similar but we haven't had enough snow in Ontario. I'll live vicariously through you 😅
It's nice to see you are just a big kid having fun in the snow brings back memory's when I was a young fart making a dugout in the snow banks every chance I got we don't get near the snow now as we did when I was a kid but we got quite the snowfall this weekend 60-90 cm but I don't think I will attempt a snow house plus I don't have the big kid toys to get it into a large pile hahaha this was awesome can't wait for the next update
I still feel like a kid most days. Very thankful for that lol
Awesome! I'm "LIKING" this before I even watch it! I know I will not be disappointed! Thanks Chuck! 🤩
Good job buddy
That's so cool, Chuck.
All the cresture comforts....well, close enough.
It reminds me of making snow forts when we were kids...the plow would pile it up and we'd build forts. Nothing as extravagant as that but we had a blast.
Thx for trip down memory lane, buddy.
All those tools make for a great snow fort! You're going to have some jealous kids all over!
You are an inspiration to old men like myself. I feel like I should move to Labrador and live the good life. Your neighbors must love having you around. Looking forward to the next video
I have the most fantastic neighbours. And friends. Makes life even more wonderful. ❤️
Well, that was so entertaining and I could NOT tell you were one bit excited, nor was it obvious that you enjoyed some dry humour 😂
I mean, anyone who can carry 150lbs of snow like that, will definitely pass their physical test! Lol
Awesome job Chuck, can’t wait to come see it 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Cheap rent for you guys seems who you are 😉❤️
Great video and snow house!!!! It makes me think of my childhood building snow forts… nothing as complex as yours!! But never the less we enjoyed doing it just as you have👍
Melanie, hope you are spending the night - so awesome! Lorraine
I had to coax her for the meal. I think she may be a little “untrusting” of its stability. See what happens over time lol
You're living large in the Big Land! Having a blast watching your videos. Cheers!
Absolutely beautiful! What a job you did on that! Looking forward to the next video. Cheers!
Thats Awesome. Brings me back to my childhood in Labrador building the ice house. Cant wait for the next video. Ice house B&B ? Outdoor adventure at its best.
Haha. How much to rent in wonder….🤔
Well Chuck you got the spot built there buddy. awesome job when i was young we built a few and stayed in them for hours and hours but now we can't get the snow to built a snowman. our weather is changing big time. looking forward to the overnighter till then take care
Unbelievable Wallace. I hope you can comfortably get to your ponds this winter
I bet you would love a snow sleigh shovel. I just built a few piles like that around my own driveway, we're having the storm of the century!
A snow sleigh shovel? Not familiar-will have to search it up!
What a great watch. Young and old!
Can't wait to see what comes next!
Thanks as always brother
