I have been watching your mom and dad's videos for years. I never commented on theirs, but I wanted to encourage you to keep on going. I look forward to watching you. 😊

The fur hat your mom lovingly made for you. It looks so snug and warm. Love it.

[@billiegoodman4872]

In a rare southern snow storm I had a blast building an igloo- I was 11yrs old. Wind chill was prolly -5. I was amazed (when I finished building) how very warm and quiet it was. Never have had so much fun. Thank you for the video!

[@enosyodermattieyoder4298]

🎉 hope you feel better soon. Proud of you doing this overnight and other challenges. You are a brave man! 🎉 Looking forward to seeing what you are doing next

[@lindavolk9958]

We used to make caves and snow forts like that when I was a kid. I never slept in one though. Brings back great memories! ❤

[@Hopeful-w7h]

The hubs and I have been married 45 years, we built a snow fort this year- never too old to have fun!

[@autumn8849]

That's just amazing there's so much snow in places that you can dig out a cave without reaching the ground! Pretty cool dude!

[@brianpetersen704]

I don’t know how you do it but watching your videos just makes all tension and stress from the day dissipate ☺️ The music, your voice, the down pace… just love it :)

[@ronaalexander825]

🎉I agree!

[@billiegoodman4872]

Mick, Dave and Brooke have that calming affect on their different channels. I call them “ the Whipple Whisperers.” 😊

Hey Mick really enjoyed this different video, more of these please, take care.X💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ddenice963]

Wow that was another great adventure. The lone wolf travels under snow. ❤

[@strawberryrhubarbpie]

Ok so 2 minutes in and I want to tell you what I was taught as a little girl growing up in Mentasta (between Tok and Glenallen). They taught us to stomp out a large circle and then to stomp inside of that circle to mix all the snow together, after that you use a shovel to mound the snow up in a big hill, and THEN you dig a hole inside. They taught us that by mixing all the layers of snow it would make it stronger

[@OhSnap-kb9vr]

I would have spent the whole night imagining some kind of heavy animal - a moose maybe - walking over me and crushing me when it fell through. Good job, Mick!

[@vonheise]

Don't know if you have looked at the "Outdoor Boys", but they set the standard of what can be done in deep Alaska snow. Since they passed 6 million subscribers, (now 12M) they are traveling and doing more variety, but over their 10 years, have some interesting videos on bushcraft, fishing, and hunting.

[@kellyjohnson3617]

John Muir said that there was no illness that sleeping on a glacier wouldn’t cure. Hope you feeling better soon. One year in WA we had a blizzard so my brother and I built a snow lodge. It was so fun to hang out in and was surprisingly warm inside away from the wind. All the neighbor kids came over to hang out in. Brought back great memories seeing you build this. Thanks for posting

[@GrannyS217]

I have major claustrophobia watching this-are you crazy? You are proving to be quite the adventurer. I am glad you survived this one -I was very worried for you ! 💕🇺🇸💕

[@judyherman1249]

I love your scenes of humor. I'm praying you get to feeling better real soon.

[@josephinegibbs3902]

A fine adventure! I learned about colds effect on batteries at 18 years old in Alaska. I'd gotten a cassette player for my birthday. We took it out on the lake ice to give us music to skate to. John Denver sounded pretty funny, getting slower and slower as the batteries died! I wonder if it would help if you stuffed your power brick thingy in an old padded mailer and stuck one of those chemical hand warmer pouches in with it.

[@ruthiewrangler9864]

Awesome Mick. I have made an Igloo in the yard. The quiet inside is amazing. Well done sleeping in the cave.

[@lindawynell]

A snow cave! Once I saw what you were doing, it made sense. I would have gnawed that steak off the fork, too. LOL Crazy as it may sound, we are having snow in north FL! Of course here a snow flurry will shut down a county. No equip to salt or sand the roads & it’s rough on the feet to walk through snow in one’s flip flops! 😂 I’m loving it. It’s so rare. I haven’t seen snow “in person” for close to 30 years. Feel better & return to health soon. 🙏

[@FrancisMarion_1786]

"...I'm still here... its just dark" Lmao that part was hilarious😂😂😂

[@marcyfalconer1275]

Mick you are amazing!! These are memories you won't forget.

[@RadJer86]

Says " no air flow" immediately cooks with propane in a confined space lol

[@uffda]

My nephew and his son just stayed in a snow cave they built. Snow Caves do occasionally cave in so be careful.

[@jaystewart9947]

Toil for your shelter! Thanks for sharing

[@ED3]

Great video adventure. One of your best yet

[@samhill3496]

Good vid. You need a pocket knife one of the all time essentials for being out almost anywhere. You can at least feed yourself. Ranks right up there with fire. I used to do snow tunnels then it quit snowing. Can't rake enough up to cover a dog. All good from east Kentucky USA. Mom and Dad will like this.

[@bobbroadhurst1648]

That turned out to be a cosey looking snow bunny burrow, great entertaining video Mick One of us has been using them foil sided sleeping pads wrong for a long time (in my case) lol, my understanding was the silver foil side faces up to reflect your body heat back towards you .... and the foam side down to insulate you from the cold below. I'd be interested in seeing others ideas on this haha ..... i don't mind turning mine over if i'm wrong Keep these awesome videos coming, and the cabin build. Watching with interest from New Zealand That massive lump of dead cow you chewed on, looked so tasty, good hot meal and into the sleeping bag in a snow cave, just brilliant

[@rangerreno1249]

Well done Mik! You chose a great adventure and kept it simple. You’re living life large, living it to the full and keeping it simple. Way to toil for your food dude!

[@richardsanty9063]

I'M claustrophobic. this scared me. you sure are talented.

[@dzikus.minimus.maximus]

When building a snow cave you want to have a low area for cold air accumulation and sleep above that with a shelf or nook to put your sleeping bag in. Makes a huge difference. Snowcaved on Mount Hood to get an early start on skiing the next morning when I was younger.

[@christiandaugherty1267]

Love the vids. It's 12 degrees currently, set to drop to -1 here in KY. This really sets the mood. Made me want some coffee in a big way.

[@HerLadyship-P]

It's 5 degrees F here in the DMV set to drop to -5 F

[@Unprofessionallyme63]

My brother and I used to build caves in the snow. It was the best.

[@Starkraven100]

Not sure if anyone else commented but your blade is called a Parang. Great video !

[@Mountaincamping-u4v]

Wow very nice 🥶🌹🥶♥️❄️💜🥶💙❄️🎉🥶💙❄️🤍🥶💚🙋🏻‍♀️

[@jesusbarbosa286]

Brave young man 😊

[@teddysmith457]

Thank you, Mick❤

[@regnepinak9864]

Next time you camp out precut your meat so its not so big. Make yourself tea with Ginger root, mint tea with lemon and honey for your cold. A teaspoon a nday of honey by itself works well too. Enjoyed the video!

[@TJfossil]

Love the content, Mick. Keep it coming!

[@denisemeredith2436]

Hi Mick, how do you know which is the best spot to build a snow cave? What is the best type of snow to build in so that it doesnt collapse and bury you? Great video btw.

[@jeannemarcinek4575]

Classic blessings.

[@o.smallwood4268]

That is crazy, thanks for bringing us along. Hope next time you have a knife for your steak. 😂 Stay safe Nic!

[@ajaxsavage2164]

Please be sure that your area is well ventilated when you use that stove. Very dangerous if there isn’t any air flow in there. Ps. Love your videos man!

[@jbdoingjbstuff]

captain obvious reporting for duty

[@ajaxsavage2164]

@ you’re late, Captain. Now drop and give me 50.

[@RosrShafer]

My brother and I made one of these as children, bever really slept in it at night but was fun to make. You did well, Mick. You are very talented.

[@DiamondRiverResurgenceCanada]

Wow, great! I hope you really, really rest after this and get better! Rest is number one healer when you're sick. 💚 Nature might be number 2.

[@donnazavitz1095]

I'm too claustrophobic to be in there! I'm glad you had a great time. Enjoy your adventures!

[@suezaple4950]

Nice little quinzee Mick good work!, Thanks for bring us along ,as always . See ya on the next one blessing

[@Mountaincamping-u4v]

Nice to meet you my friend ♥️💜💙🤍💚🙋🏻‍♀️

Thank you, Mic, for a great walk down memory lane as a kid ❤

"I'm still here. It's just dark. eeeee" umm yes. I would say "eee" too. What a crazy night. I have never heard of such a thing but thanks for sharing. You really have expanded my world. Texas Granny

[@ethanmerrill4999]

Love it. Is the propane stove in an enclosed space a concern at all? Just curious

[@comicsgatekeeper9746]

Goddam, i kept thinking the tunnel would collapse and this would turn into a found footage video . Thank god you're still alive

[@ellenados804]

So cool! Love to see you embracing your area. Still want a link for that hat though!

[@cedarrockcabin3633]

His mom made it. She's Brook Whipple, YT channel, Girl In The Woods.

[@Judy-fi7ce]

Looked like fun. Sometimes cold air can knock out a cold. Tell us how your night went. Were you warm enough? Hear any noises during the night? That meat looked tough.

Thank you dear Jacob

[@cochorocks]

nice twist to to videos! Amazing filming

[@leethalwpn]

Huh… and I’m just over here sleeping in a regular bed. Makes me feel like I’m missing out on some amazing adventures!

[@maryalbert6138]

When we were kids we would get a lot of snow in New England. My brothers would build forts like this. I wonder today if this was such a great idea thank God they didn’t cave in.😮

[@lawaincooley6788]

Great experience!! To keep the roof strong for multiple people, I wonder if each person would have to make their own cave out from the middle or something. I don't know. Looks like pretty deep snow so maybe it doesn't matter. Please get some extra vitamins (D, zinc, C) to boost your immunity.

[@Maggie-eo3rd]

Mic that was crazy!! O M G as a Mom n now an old lady… scared me for you….I hope you told someone anyone where you where? Thanks your ok! God’s blessings!! 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏 I’d say stay warm and safe, but I don’t think that’s your goal. L O L.

[@Animator82]

Thanks Mick, I really enjoyed that one.. (although I love the construction / build stuff as well, this was a cool adventure :))

[@joaddington9890]

Take care and don’t freeze!!!

[@DawnMillington-i9t]

Hi Mick, great video. Was wondering just how long it took you to get this hide away done ? Love your Moms hat she gave you. What an adventure, lucky you. Till😊 next one be safe and take care.

[@ginnysulya9805]

Great video, hope you feel better soon! 🤗

[@joankline343]

Cool 😎 looks like a lot of fun! Just curious though don't you have to worry about a moose coming through or a bear smelling your delicious 😋 food? 😅. It's good to see you Mick and I enjoyed your camping trip. 💖

[@benji9415]

When’s the outdoor boys collab happening?!?

[@JulieCrawford-l8r]

We did this as kids in Wyoming and Missouri when we got enough snow!❤

[@carlvondrunker7855]

I'm laughing because it's 28 degrees and snowed today in Central/South Alabama and folks aren't understanding ice at all

[@gallus846]

Excellent content as always man

[@andreasborn2686]

Put that gas flame any closer to the pine needles and you'll be a lot warmer quickly. 😂

[@lutherpayne9957]

Try using a Spetsnaz shovel for building your next snow cave. Cold Steel makes a pretty good replica. The shovel gives you a hacking tool as well as a shovel. It will save your hands and is a heck of a lot faster. Cheers!

[@francisbennett5965]

That looked seriously cold Mick

[@24carrotgold8]

How do you prevent the ceiling from collapsing especially when cooking heat rises? 🥴🔥

[@christopherproffitt3943]

Fire video dude loving every second

[@anneskic]

Did you manage to stay warm during the night?

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Cool stuff, Mick!

[@luvmuz40]

I remember as a kid how fun it was to build snow forts. But for some reason I would have been nervous to sleep in there thinking a big moose would come walking by and step on the fort and it would come caving in on me. LOL

[@marilynwade9448]

Awesome skills

[@beckypennington79]

I like your other videos but I think I like this one even a little bit more thanks

[@annward7021]

Why would you want to torture yourself when you are sick? Please take care of yourself until you get well, again. 💕🙏

[@Rednecksofthenorth]

I here you, but a lot of people seem to feel better while working or going outside but that's my experience.

[@johno140]

Dugout igloo , far out. P.s. Hot steak , and red hot coffee, both together, or separate = YUM!

[@hisbothy]

Were you cold at all during the night?

[@sshimlaw]

You the man! Thank you!

[@littlehillsidehomestead6362]

Keep on keeping on dude!

[@marianfrances4959]

Awesome!👍😎🇨🇦❄️

[@sovbo101]

I thought I'd be on your side, no matter what. The hat your Mom gave you changes everything. I always look forward to anything you put up.

[@kathiesanders1533]

Cool. Great video, feel better

[@TheRemyRomano]

Have you tried reindeer sausage? I used to get it at Delta on Alaska highway. That’s the thing I miss the most about Alaska. That and panning for gold. I had some claims in the area that paid very well at the time.

[@tonyabovee9039]

eating your steak with your teeth total cave man move it made me laugh so thanks

[@omniscient200]

Bro, you definitely toiled for your food there. Nice one. What was the outside temperature?? And how did it compare to the cave temperature? Thanks

[@KodeyWhiteWolf]

A great fun video

[@erinausman1002]

What do you do with the coffee filter and grounds? Just leave it there?

[@springgoodhart8676]

I feel like we need to get you a shovel. Do you have an amazon wish list to share?

[@LOL-Can]

Thanks Mick. That was interesting.
