living in an igloo

Post  autonomous on Thu Oct 22, 2009 3:10 pm

I think I'm going to live in a igloo for a few weeks this winter if we have enough snow by December when I get my time off

Build a quincee(?). Just as good just not as permanent. Used to build them all the time. Make a giant hill of snow, then carve out its insides with a shovel or a nice bendable saw. Then you can lay some hay or just about anything on the ground and you'll be fine. So cold outside you didn't even want to pee but I was sleeping in a t-shirt and boxers.

yep. Super warm. And then when you`re done, climb to the top, stand there while doing a heroic pose, then jump as high as you can. lol crash right through the top. The ones we build are about a person tall, wide enough the fit four people side by side, with a windbreak tunnel to crawl in. Only make it as big as you need though or you`re dissipating heat. lol we even made one with shelves once

Haha, it's not that bad. It still gets cold enough for me to shell out the long sleeves or jackets.

I heard a good tip is to stick a load of twigs about a foot - 18 inches all around the thing. when you get to a twig stop digging and you'll have nice thick walls.

Igloos are awesome! when i was like 9 or 10 i went to some winter camp thing at the base of Mount Hood and they had igloos instead of cabins, we used A candle to warm the room at night.
