I Heated this Snow Hut with Water...Then Stayed the Night.

[@kelleygiambro7542]

I just said to my husband, “Wonder what “The Outsider” is doing?” Well, now I know!! So happy to have a new video to watch while I enjoy my Saturday morning coffee.

[@houstontexas4658]

I was thinking the same thing this morning, too!

My daughter climbers the mountains in Washington State and sleeps in snow caves a lot. She's super hard core.

[@randychadwick3673]

I came across your channel after you started the cabin . I've enjoyed every video since. I appreciate your expression of your faith. GOD bless you.

[@ahmadalhasn8111]

I am very happy to have you back. It was an interesting trip. I hope you and your family are well

[@TheRealThisIsAlex]

i like the gurgling sound of the ammo can heater

[@__cypher__]

Before I even watch the video please let me say, Welcome back. & Thank you.

[@elementalghost]

The outsider and the outdoor boys dropping a vid on a Saturday morning? Amazing.

[@cherylgawne711]

What an awesome episode!!!! I’m going to implement this idea to keep my chickens warm… even perhaps a greenhouse!!!

[@RyanMcMorrow]

I’ve watched a lot of KZbin over the years, from influencers to sports to gaming. I can honestly say that I think this is my favorite channel I’ve ever come across. I’m no outdoorsman or craftsman, but there’s something so purely entertaining and enjoyable about watching someone so skillful craft something amazing. I’ve been watching your journey on the cabin from very early on, and genuinely look forward to every new episode. I hope you and your family are well, and thank you!

[@neolithicnobody8184]

2:50 That scene instantly brought an old man to tears. Happy tears, I'm glad to say. It triggered flashbacks to childhood days of digging tunnels and snow forts/igloos in the snow drifts, all fortified with lots of snowballs for battle of course. lol Probably the happiest time ever, great memories. There's a specific detail , though, that might be very helpful for you. The inside needs rubbed. You need to create an ice barrier on the walls and ceiling by rubbing moisture into the snow. Think of it like painting the walls of your house and sealing the surfaces, making them easier to clean. To prove a point, try burning a snowball with a Bic lighter and watch what happens. Yes, it does start melting, but it also starts protecting the softer snow behind it. Back then no heat was used. Several old socks were put over one hand(make-shift glove) and dipped in water, then rubbed on the walls to create the ice layer. Once the layer is made, the drips disappear by running down the walls instead. The smoother the better. With you having heat inside, the moisture comes natural and starts dripping. Just rub it smooth. 👍

[@randadhoy2066]

The heating system is the bomb of the whole experience!

[@ianblackman2144]

Where have you been it is so nice to see you back I think everybody on KZbin wondered where you have been

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thanks for checking in, my friend! 🙂 I took some time off to be with my family, but now I'm back to work at the cabin. There's a dying maple tree that's been leaning over the cabin slightly, so it looks like my next job will be to take it down...in the next episode. Until then!

[@junedussault400]

Can’t wait to see another cabin video soon! Praying for your family!

[@danbingen4708]

Your method of determining the thickness of the walls is great. What I've done is break branches into about 1' lengths and insert them all around the outside of the hut. Then I simply dig until I hit a branch. Great video.

[@mkmac9539]

Wow!!! So creative. Nicely done.

[@ericstoever9577]

Thanks for sharing some fun McGyvering! Stay safe, and god bless.

[@fredquinn3919]

What a wonderful treat to see you again after so long. Since you are usually so open about this and since you did not mention anything about the rest of the family, I'm going to take it that your loved ones are doing well. That is a relief given your long absence from SM. It must be a special type of snow that you look for when building your shelter cause every time as a kid that my brothers and I tried to make something like this, we always ended up at the bottom of a lot of collapsed snow (and of course loved it totally...lol) Hopefully it won't be so long before we get to share your next adventure. Take care and thanks.

[@daviddeluca476]

It’s great to see you back . Thanks for an awesome video. Creative for certain.. well done

[@leopardwoman38]

Love your creative idea for a snow camping heating system! I used to camp in the snow at high altitude, in a tent. All I used was a thin Mylar emergency blanket under my old down sleeping bag and a cheap tarp under the tent. The snow under the tent created the cushion. Now that I am older I love your heating idea. It is really genius. I always love watching your videos! All the best to you and your family! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍👍😀💕💕💕🌸🌸🌸❄️❄️❄️

[@reddog543211]

OMG.....EVERY VIDEO IS AMAZING....AND THE INGENUITY IS REMARKABLE !!!!.......here's to you and my other great friend.... 🍻 cheers 🍻

[@reddog543211]

I miss him as well 😪

[@rsinfelt1]

I love your touch of flare with the night time lighting. You are a true creator. Great job on the heating system as well.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

I’ve had a Henson razor for a couple of years now and it is amazing, the best shave I’ve ever had. If I lost it tomorrow I’d get another one right away.

[@RJ-go3sn]

OMG! Everything you do is perfection! Your eye for details, your engineering and craftsmanship are next level. And then, to top it all off, your create an ambiance and a beauty to all you do! Thank you for sharing this snow hut video....even though I didn't realize I needed it! I have always wondered about the skill it would take to make just the right one! And you did it! As always, gratitude, and God bless! Your videos are my KZbin favorites!

[@JulieAnnScott]

WOW 😂!! We have missed you and your adventurous spirit! What an awesome ❄ ❄snow storm!! Welcome back!! Trust your wife & daughter are doing great! Hope your new cabin fits the bill for your sweet family! Keep up the vids..we love em!!

Welcome back OMG what an amazing shelter, and the lights looked beautiful,thanks for sharing an awesome adventure with us stay blessed stay safe and warm

[@muktukjoe]

I am inupiaq of Kotzebue Alaska. We make igloo's time to time during the winter for my kids to stay in, sleep overnight or whatever but I love how you did the bed heating system. Absolutely 💯% ingenuity. Thank you.

[@normagomez9660]

MacGyver would be proud, my daughter found some DVD's of all his episodes- binge watched all last weekend 😀 Great to see you back 🙂

[@Johnny_Guitar]

Classic Canadian ---> QUINZHEE ...... Okay, for someone as self who was born in Montreal in the early 1950's, I've made a many of these Quinzhee's in my youth, and the one thing that's important in making one of these also applies to Igloos! For a proper and comfortable Quinzhee, it's important to construct an _'elevated'_ bed from the floor level, and the reason being is because the cold _'sinks'_ to it's lowest point and having it elevated, it will then help to enjoy the upper and _'warmer'_ (32F....lol) part of the Quinzhee. Of course closing off the door with at least one rear vent and *MAKING SURE* to leave a well place upright shovel outside for anyone to see in case of a collapse and knockout! Lastly, by raising the temperature above 32F, it'll help to create moisture on the interior walls, and then let it freeze completely! This will then have secure hard frozen walls! Too much fun....lol

[@amandatallis9875]

Hi Mr Outsider your snow house looks nice and cosy and really warm. You are really clever making one of these igloo houses glad you had a warm and cosy night. God bless you and your family take care love you Amanda xx

[@dsop66]

I’ve missed you bud. Love these videos. Praying for you wife and her complete healing

[@Tajarim88]

I'm deeply impressed with this highly practical wildlife solution!

[@TinyCabinLife]

Pretty awesome 👍🏽 Glad to see you out camping again!

[@lucd5766]

what a treet, wow. sometimes it doesn't need to have a purpose of productivity or learning, just for fun is a reason to do it. man this is so great. every little boy's dream.

[@bruceleealmighty]

As always, provide myriad of ideas and proof of concepts. Would like to express how pleased I/we are with glimpses of your family have made this channel so charming. Although we like the family participation and miss them when they aren't part of the viewing, you always come up with terrific content for all of us to enjoy.

[@hughlowell7226]

Without a doubt the best thing about this fantastic video is your imagination.

[@mandydavidson6694]

Thank you for sharing your trip with us all. Its good to see you back. Hugs and good wishes to your family. Peace to all ! 😊

[@joannetutor4051]

Genius! At first I shivered watching you create the hut, but remembering you vids with the snowmobile hut, I realized you’d be nice and cozy. I’m missing the cabin videos. Can’t wait till spring for more!

[@texcosmo4236]

Thanks for the intro to Henson Shaver. I am amazed how good it is.

[@nancyrea3863]

Thank you for sharing an adventure. It looked amazing and, yes, cozy. Pray the family is doing well.

[@nopandakit8051]

This was amazing to watch. Turning a little snow cave into a cozy, warm cabin for the night.❤ Great video.

I think you enjoy showing the middle finger to mother nature. Love from Ottawa.

[@davesabo-wf1pc]

Awesome heating system, I have an adaptation of this for my house the coil is a water jacket running around and through my wood stove. one holding tank and an inline pump sending water to hot water to baseboard heaters throughout the house, its a closed system and keeps my house 2800 square feet toasty warm during Canadian winters. Similar system in the shop no holding tank or pump water heats up and and moves through a system of copper pipe and through a core heater repurposed from a car with a fan behind it, blow off goes out the roof works like a charm.

[@jamesmoore7106]

Glad to see you it’s been a while 🤠👍

[@phyllismccurdy2984]

Glad to see you back. Hope you and your family are well. Good for you having the nerve to sleep in the snow. I’m too claustrophobic to even think of doing that. You have a great system to keep you warm. 🙋🏻🇨🇦 Stay safe.

[@laruedouglas7972]

That is an awesome heating system 😃

[@kingrafa3938]

Thanks for the video Mr. Outsider. Stay safe and warm!

Good to see you again. I've been worried about you and your family. May god bless you and your family. Thanks for a great show too

[@victormoonsamy5338]

Wow. Wonderful to have you share a video. I trust that the family is well. Well, everything you do is marked with excellence, and here is no exception. It was a pleasure to watch every video. Victor in South Africa 🇿🇦. God bless my friend.

You are absolutely amazing! I am sure you could survive almost anywhere during any season. Your knowledge is an inspiration to all of us! God Bless!

[@corrydolbeer1464]

Thank you for the insight of winter camping! I enjoy all your videos. They are the best on KZbin!

Fun video with lots of good ideas. Hope you are all doing well, especially Mrs. Outsider. God bless.

[@marthaosburn-henry1087]

I was looking forward to your next video. Thanks for sharing. Takes me back to the days I did winter camping with my scout troop. 🌻🤟🌻👍🌻

[@brittawrolson5936]

That wind howling and the gray sky makes me shiver. Had to watch this video to see how you planned to take it on overnight. Your snow shelter is really large, so heating it would likely be challenging if not for your ingenuity. I saw the earlier video of the heated portable shack, and was amazed how cozy you got that set up. So here we are with another option….👍🏻👏🏻

[@serioustrouble63]

Looks warm and cosy! Nice! Hope your wife is doing well...God bless!

[@DKBlair]

I love the water/bed system! My main thoughts if I ever build something like this were: build a larger double/queen pad for my fiancé & I, put a Mylar heat reflector just below the hose inside the bed, use a smaller 1-2 gallon reservoir, possibly double-walled to reduce heat loss, and place a “solar oven” type heat reflector behind it to help radiate more heat forward.

[@godthesonthomas]

Good to see you back Outsider!

[@gacj2010]

I like these raw adventures again now that the cabin is completed

[@lindapetersen1800]

Hey there Mr. Outsider how have you and the family been ??? Been Praying for you all this winter time here !!! No snow yet for me in Illinois except the 1 time we had snow !!! But other wise that is a grand hut there to sleep in !!! We would sleep as kids in a hut we would make then Mom was always watching out for us girls as we slept in the hut with our sleeping bags !!!

[@alrad5686]

Very creative use of the Copper Coil heater, the heated bed would make sleeping in the snow hut very comfortable. I really like your smarts on that. As usual, excellent content my friend, thanks for all you share.

[@roygress3598]

One of the more interesting bushcraft/camping videos I've ever watched. Definitely a subject that has not been covered to my knowledge. If I'm wrong I'm sure I will know over the coming days😁

[@mary333j]

You made a quinzee💜

[@thisolesignguy2733]

This was great! I haven't had a good snow hut in years. I used to make them up in the mountains in Montana all the time, they're actually pretty comfortable and you don't have to worry about them caving in when it snows hard during a blizzard. Better than a tent. I always did igloo style huts, where I could build a fire inside but I love this idea! I never even thought of something like this.

[@WillieMakeit]

This is an amazing heater. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

Copper coil and garden hose is a great idea.

[@theresebennett5372]

Good morning, Mr. Outsider! I always love your videos. They are entertaining and informative. What a simple method you put together to stay in the snowcave. I have always enjoyed your videos. They are well laid out and informative. Blessings to you and your family today and always.

[@scottmcintosh2988]

The people from this hour has 22 minutes went to Flordia asking for donations as their Canadian ice pallace they made a lot of money I see you are heating the pallace now i had a heated waterbed back in the day but this is great I have accepted the award on your behalf again and thanked everyone for the honor now thanking you been there since the first Tractor I had an AC Case 1948 pulled logs stumps out and with thebMyers plow plowed the 500 foot long driveway for 25 years it was a very sad day when the old girl would not start !
