Building An Igloo

Video by Tim Bender. Edited by Paul Billowes.

[@Mickr4]

They had crazy good snow blocks, perfect for making igloos. For the blocks to make that sound, it need to be frigid cold outside and the snow really well packed...

[@marzsit9833]

when i was in the boy scouts we built igloos similar to this one with the entrance below the ice shelf which is critical for retaining interior heat, but we built individual radial 'spokes' that each person slept in, so we would have between 4 to 8 scouts sleeping in a 10 foot diameter igloo with nobody sleeping inside the actual domed area. with a few candles burning in the center they were really comfortable, especially if it was windy outside. we made our own snow knives out of 1/4"x3" aluminum flat bar, the blanks were bolted together and then run through a table saw with a dado to cut the teeth, and the rest was left up to the individual scout to make the handle and finish the knife however they wanted.

When I was in boy scouts I made a fire with a cloth, a fan, and a light because it was too unsafe to learn how to make a real fire. Little fan guy was fun tho I mean I c'mon look at it go! Whoo! 🔥🙍‍♂️

[@SIBUK]

Many years ago I finally managed to make one of these. I live in the UK so its rare that we get enough snow to even think about building one, but one year we had a really deep fall overnight so I decided to have a try. It wasn't as big as this one, but I did manage to finish it. Then I ran inside to get a camera so I could take a photo, but when I came back outside it had collapsed

[@thesarkive7746]

just be glad it didn't collapse with you inside

I've always wondered how to build an igloo. Thanks for sharing this video!!

[@아기-i7y]

I’ve never known completing the roof inside the room. So amazing. And also they use ice blocks as tender marble. Cool video.

Sú dva spôsoby, alebo staviaš do špirály / ako závit. Alebo ak už máš prax, tak stačí v prvej rade jeden prerezať po uhlopriečke a tam začínaš 2. radu. Pri stavaní potrebuješ 3. body.

[@sethvandenhout7152]

igloos are awesome and I only imagine they get even sturdy as more snow piles on it an fills the whole securing it

[@TheEEStudent]

And this is why Inuits need chainsaws.

[@johng9562]

After watching other people build igloos on youtube, you guys were BY FAR the BEST ~ fastest & most efficient with a vastly superior end product. But hey, who builds an igloo better than an Eskimo right? I do think it's comical that they lived in a tent while building the igloo! Just sayin...

[@khalanbase3680]

I'm ten months late, but depending on the size of tge igloo and amount of people, it could be a much netter and warmer home tgan a tent in that environment.

Iglú lepšie ako Eskimák staviam ja. Ja nepoužívam pomocníkov a rebrík.😁

[@carlosquiroz7819]

shouldn't it be recessed into the ground with a tunneled entrance and a raised interior section for sleeping?

[@goodprotein3062]

It doesn't really matter much

[@eddievest4096]

Carlos Quiroz unless you are concern about freezing to death.

[@greatestever184]

Thats what I was thinking. There is supposed to be a well for the heat to rise and cold air to sink. I assumed with this being Inuits that theyd do it right.

15:14 How did he manage to get that block to stay up on the roof without falling down. Did he super glue it there or something? Why did they cut that part out of the video.

[@SirFancyPantsMcee]

Looks like he set the brick on top, then cut it at a 45 degree angle so it slipped in.

[@kierstynzdroid]

He used ig-glue

[@bophi_true]

im ded

[@metalhead0274]

Basically it is a wedge.. they use the knife to help angle the blocks ..the very top is at an angle so when the last block is added it can't drop in..the bottom of the surrounding blocks already in place angle outward just enough so it is not a perfect angle ..sorta obtuse. The blocks hold each other up . Sort of like the old archways of medieval periods and earlier civilizations. It's basic architecture gravity does the rest..😁

How many man-hours do you think are into this structure? A lot of work, but then you have permanent shelter.

[@stoffni]

+Mark Newman Semi-permanent. Lasts long but not permanent :P

[@TheHungryTrollRawr]

+Mark Newman 2men skilled can make an igloo in 1 hour. I watched a video earlier to learn this.

[@marknewman3712]

One or two hours seems like a relly low cost investment for a shelter in this particular environment, it looks quite cold. I remember making quinzees with the Boy Scouts and it took all darn day, and were wet at the end.

[@LittleCorns]

+Mark Newman I remember watching a video where two Inuit natives built one in under 30 minutes, which is amazing

[@efilperpenfuhrer]

I'm seeing what looks like the original makers of igloos called the Inuit. I knew some in Labrador, Canada. In the summer they used animal skins for tents. The entrance tunnel traps much of the super cold air from getting inside. Some igloos can hold 15 to 25 people. It depends.

Are you in Greenland?

Bet the igloo was warmer than the tent. yes? Have enough people! ;)

It's packed snow

[@j.danaclark89]

James Pham it's not packed, it's wind driven. When it gets deposited by the wind it sets up like concrete but has a lot of trapped air so it's an ideal insulator but it's also ridged like Styrofoam.
