Building a Winter Survival Snow Shelter with a Fireplace

John "Lofty" Wiseman's "SAS Survival Handbook," Third Edition (affiliate link): amzn.to/3RNtbpH
We build a winter survival snow shelter following the model from Lofty's book, in our backyard, during a recent polar vortex! The shelter is essentially a quinzhee with a fireplace. We discuss some of the drawbacks of relying on such a shelter in a real survival scenario.

Nice video. As I have been studying different bushcraft and survival skills I have noticed that the Inuit never seem to have more than a small fat burning lamp going in the snow shelter. Just enough to take off some of the chill but not enough to heat things to melt.

After trying this shelter, that makes a lot of sense!
