Top fella. Highly gifted, superbly knowledgeable, and supremely modest.

[@sakuraminekura]

what an amazing documentary! I always learn the letter I is for igloo when I was a child, but never seen anything about how people at the north pole make their igloos!

[@Hannah76751]

Its so cool how people do these thing!

[@ArchTymeWizard]

Amazing, just friken amazing.

[@dvsilverwing]

Wow, I look at a lot of these old native way of things, and I truly believe they are AMAZING. I just wonder how they figured out that seal blubber burned, or how to correctly build an igloo in the first place.

[@YAHSNUM1]

thats amazing!

[@steezymack88]

this is interesting, i wish i could watch the whole episode!

[@1tanhaa1]

Awesome

[@ChadHClifford]

Very cool! I believe caribou fat also works for the kudloo light. As likely does a lot of other fats. Soapstone was commonly used for the kudloo.

[@toothfareie]

Very intriguing

[@ManuelRapalo]

awesome... I live in DC, and we just finished building an igloo outside our apartment building... EPIC!

[@pretzelpipe]

thanks ray

[@barrybuttery]

@ooJDMoo You speak SENSE, its always good to see someone on youtube, you knows what they are talking about!

[@solobackpacking]

Take my word for it. This is a craft, don't expect in a emergency situation to be able to build a igloo like his.

[@jasonyouh9310]

thank you guy you are the besssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst

[@souperhart]

You sir, are a genius.

[@ManiaCop100]

the sound of the ice snow blocks rubbing sends goosbumps down my spine

[@barkulator]

Last year I finally closed the roof and got an igloo made. Thsi year I'm using a waste basket to make snow blocks. Even powdery snow works, but you have to let the blocks set and freeze solid for 5+ hours before you can build with them.

[@PineMartyn]

@surfin4 The hole in the ceiling is to let air circulate, to let moisture escape (otherwise it condenses on the walls and wets the floor at the perimeter), and to permit smoke and gases to escape from lamps or stoves.

[@Stalast.]

Wow, thats a long time to wait to make one block.

[@purplehamster2]

that. is. COOL!

[@Kayotic.a]

my first words with seeing those wolves where " wolves wolves wolves!!! " :D

[@PineMartyn]

@SmoothCriminalAaron It's called a quinzhee. Less skill required to make a quinzhee, but they aer less stable, more prone to collapse, typically much less roomy, and unless the walls are of uniform thickness and a proper catenary arch is created, a quinzhee will sag and the ceiling get lower and lower until it's unusable after a few days. But igloos require a certain kind of compacted, wind-swept snow that's hard to find. I use the Icebox system, for any kind of snow.

[@SuperniusPL]

Great video. I posted a video on superniusPL Inside it looks very cozy. Eskimo igloo do such a professional in 20 minutes

[@TheFaustianMan]

Where do they sell the blocks? Kidding of course. Again I say, "God Bless The BBC."

[@GPH1403]

nice igloo man

[@barkulator]

Make piles of snow and stomp on them. Then leave it to set for 5 hrs or so. Then pile more snow and stomp on it some more until you have a large pile of hard packed snow. I discovered that even fluffy snow will harden once its been stepped on. Then cut it with a handsaw.

[@fosschr]

True. Making your own snowblocks works though, Further, even if it collapsed the average person is strong enough to push through 5 or 600 pounds of snow.

[@n2dabloo]

Awesome vid. I'd like to think that the "old timers" will persevere and retain this knowledge.

[@PineMartyn]

@ZebbMassiv I've camped and slept in both quinzhees and igloos. A quinzhee is a snow shelter that doesn't quite compare with an igloo in terms of comfort and stability, but they take little skill to make. Just do a search for the word quinzhee and you'll find videos on it. I have a video on how my wife and I build our igloos on my channel. Cheers, -Martin

[@anaesterhazy631]

Despite popular belief snow shelters are not toastingly warm. They work by providing a warmer environment inside than outside, by blocking off the chilling wind, and by trapping body heat.

[@user-lv2pp6rc1u]

Не слишком теплые это как? Если температура около нуля, это уже тепло. Преревод гугл. Not too warm is how? If the temperature is near freezing, it is already warm. Google Translate.

[@juniorsulurayok6618]

you should visit nunavut, you'll like it, btw im from nunavut

[@ecallaw2k8]

we made an igloo using toybox sized bricks. we copped out on the roof and used planks and plastic bags with snow thrown over the top.

[@YourIQDoesntMeanShitToMe]

I built a little igloo yesterday :D but omg when you make a fire in there the smoke is all in the eyes and nose...

[@alexaalexaalexa1]

I love igloos and the I love the name loll

[@deezynar]

They didn't show a tunnel entry, sleeping ledges, or the water proof liner that gets hung like a tent inside the dome. The liner is hung from hooks made of bone or wood that are poked thru the dome from the outside. They have a flat "head" on the outside end that keeps them from being pulled thru the snow. The water that melts from the dome runs down the liner and is channeled to a hole that's dug to get it out of the way.

[@fosschr]

Haha nice. Bipolar bears!!! good one.

[@dhom100]

amazing. I wish I could make an igloo. Les Stroud tried to make one on his show and it was a complete failure.

[@vafaneh]

@zZBstarDZz That is truly amazing

[@Urashrimpimapimp]

@bdubboi haha i watched your hotbox igloo and then I went to this video afterwards lol

[@MultiCmiller]

what type of parka is that i really want to get one

[@THEGAMINGNOOBS]

WOOOOOOO ZEZIMA

[@Stalast.]

Im trying to make an igloo because we got so much snow in scotland but im using brick sized snow bricks... and im kinda stuck on how to curve the top.

[@fosschr]

Yeah, it is fun and gratifying though. Isnt it? I am usen a recycle bin to compact snow into blocks. Man my walls are thick like 2 feet thick. It is working though.

[@Travide]

how does the snow stay in shape like that and I would like them to make a video wher they put the last few layers on the top lol it seems like the very top middle one is the support but how des the rest stay up

[@nameofmeAJ]

@msfeliciagirl well the first thing that comes to mind when I hear "igloo" is obviously smoking it out. (Yes it has happened before.)

[@chaosryan144]

can they put salt in behind of the ice to make them stick?

[@Blindar]

that snow is very....crunchy sound

[@ecallaw2k8]

^^ we fitted eleven people in it, took 6 hours to build (with a stop for a greggs half way through)

[@mionDM]

The only problem is that in Scotland the snow is turned to powder like snow I am building an igloo too my neighbors made a great one!

[@sylvarias]

@BigUpToNJ hahahaha perfect.

[@fireatwill789]

@lance43 how did igloos turn to weed?

[@NicenEasyuk]

i'm going to do this in an hour or 2

[@phatmatt2194]

The Union. am i correct?

[@omgLamaoLOL]

How are the bricks made so perfectly square and nice?

[@rbvmtr]

Ur Right there ! I've went CLEAN and SOBER 19 years ago ,I stopped lieing and dening for awhile now ! I went for the real Buzz instead ! " the holy ghost " unlike dope , I don't have to pay , as as long as I obey he never goes away so I get the Buzz all day

[@surfin4]

you need an opening for the smoke to escape?

[@killakdizzel]

@giammira Nick Diaz is a champion mixed martial artist, a world class triathlete and a chronic pot smoker... ;-)

[@Kayotic.a]

@levilisko ?

[@hokman1]

so High Tech, with ventilation and fire adjustment

[@SmoothCriminalAaron]

Ok, whats the thing called when you make a igloo sized pile of snow and then dig a hole into it?

[@platinumc3ll]

Tho weed can enhance awareness of the situation around you, which can be very beneficial in tough times ^^

[@HnyPnchsOfThrts]

@SmoothCriminalAaron that called a quinzee hut

[@Nautilus987]

@lance43 next time shout up!

[@94svenni]

i build an igloo and finisht it to day :)

[@platinumc3ll]

Is that why artists use it a lot? Adds to the creativity... And yes, it does affect awareness which is why some people that smoke it become paranoid as they become extra sensitive . Just cos they are dopey doesn't mean they are less aware ^^ I'm sure Sherlock Holmes had a bit of weed love in his pipe to help him solve those mysteries ^^ LOL

[@yourBLOODisonme]

when they say the temperature is that celcius or farenhite... sorry i dont know how to spell them

[@HooDlymUK]

the noise of the snow rubbing together makes my teeth itch! It's like rubbing a fork across a plate. it's fine when you do it but when someone else is it makes your hairs stand on end!!

[@papyschultz]

@mjcmavs I would thumb up if you didn't wrote "thumbs up if you agree"! However, I love Igloo

[@alexebling]

I wonder what seal tastes like :-O

[@NeonNightz]

@Kello1231 Been there, done that.

[@lance43]

@Nautilus987 what?

[@J0HNH0P]

i finished building mine today! but its TAKEN ME 3 DAYS.

[@VictorUndead]

@lance43 Most true facts ARE common knowledge, so that kind of contradicts most of what you said. :o

[@irie1tes]

Man Its shelter, but its still cold as hell

[@Kello1231]

I want to hotbox an igloo.

[@Stalast.]

Yeah im still trying to make mine but the snow just falls apart in your hands ¬_¬

Make a video, I want to see your igloo.

[@MrXtremie]

@Rsfeva1250 you mean 14

[@MrMARCU5]

No way...I built an igloo 2day! kits awesome...im stoned!

[@shivpalpatine]

i almost built one, but it fell in on myself

[@drawesome2000]

@Kello1231 I know a guy that did.

[@GRRAB]

hot-glooing

[@bdubboi]

check out my igloo --my hotbox igloo-- it has a fireplace, electricity and seats

[@victory123ful]

0:00 / 3:58

[@dhom100]

these guys are expert. I wish I could do that. Les Stroud tried it once on this show. he spent a whole night doing it and it was still pathetic. lol.

[@1906965181507]

That is their way to heat the place where they are living : ) I guess so...

[@MochaTobassi]

I kept asking Elsa about this, but she just wants to build a snowman forever... :/ so I thought I'd Let It Go...

[@andarks]

I like turtles!

[@CHRISTIAN6182]

i like the part where it shows you how to make an igloo.

[@user-wy3it6xv1t]

Есть версия на русском языке?? Скиньте ссылку

[@sargamer8150]

+Даша Портнова хаха евреи блин, все с фоксфорда

[@gtrkuro2644]

I wanna who learned their language to translate and how that came about. High key wanted a Inuit girl

[@giammira]

Alle these...pot comments made me think about it, and yes I admit that inside an igloo on NewYearsEve it would be a nice cosy setting for it... . That starting fire looked... . That's what lured some comments I think. Ppl who talk shit about marijuana are just scared of the outlaw, brainwashed, don't know the all story, can't take their personal side at things without picking parties. You can be sporty (not a champion) and still enjoy a pot now and then, just use your brain, like in everything..

[@TTIOTT]

They're*

[@hokman1]

did you?

[@giammira]

@killakdizzel so...it's even less harmful than I think, is that what you're saying?....
