How I Build an Igloo by Myself

[@welldoggies155]

I lived in Alaska with Inuit Eskimos. Their process is similar, with one major exception. They never dig down the floor below that of the outside level of snow, except only enough to make a lower entrance. While this method of building requires more blocks, there is a reason. This elevates the floor inside which helps to trap the warming air inside and prevents it from escaping so quickly. Also, if the wind changes directions, your method could allow a blast of cold air inside, which would more easily evacuate some of the warmed air. The Eskimo way also places the person closer to the warmer air nearer the top of the igloo. So, to enter the Eskimo igloos, one descends into the tunnel and begins crawling in below the level of the snow outside thru the tunnel, then rises up and onto the floor inside, which is back to the height of the surrounding snow outside. The Eskimos then lay caribou hides on the floor. Caribou hair is hollow and is a natural and fantastic insulation against the snow and ice. A seal oil lamp may be lit to add initial heat. They then cover themselves with multiple layers of caribou hides and other furs for comfort. If the temperature is colder, then a dog is brought inside. If it gets colder still, another dog is brought inside. If it is especially cold, a third dog is brought in. Eskimos did not have Thermometers, they would simply tell another member that it was a one, or two, or three dog night. A three dog night was a really cool one. Because of the subzero temperatures, the Eskimo use a knife made out of whale or walrus bone to cut the snow blocks. Ice does not build up on the bone as it does with metal.

Thank you for the information.

[@overthehilloutdoors6779]

This video was not intended to teach viewers how to make an authentic Eskimo igloo, even though I think that would be very interesting. Instead, my focus was primarily on how to shape and fit snow blocks together to create a basic dome that doesn't cave in. You're absolutely right about the floor and entrance details of a true Eskimo igloo. I actually have 2 native Alaskan Eskimo granddaughters of my own, and I greatly value the amazing skills and knowledge of the Eskimo people.

[@yopappy6599]

I don’t have personal experience but I have also heard the floor is a to be higher than the entrance, for all the reasons you mentioned. Also the igloo only warms, if there is a body inside breathing and radiating heat, which also melts as thin layer of the inside of the igloo, making the roof and such solid, holding it together better and making it more efficient at blocking the elements and holding in the heat. Other thing is the shape of the igloo is to be more of a half oval than half circle, as the arch is stronger than the dome, and it would be easier to keep the blocks from falling, as the curve is more gradual.

[@myra7273]

Well done! This can be a real life-saving skill for people who like to wander afield during winter months. Another way to build an igloo that my family liked to do is to use a medium Igloo cooler and pack it with snow. Turn it over, tap the sides firmly, and lift. Instant block of snow, standard sized! You can make a large igloo with a tunnel this way much faster than by cutting bricks. This technique works especially well with fresher Rocky Mountain powder-type snow that is almost too dry and fluffy to pack. We made igloos in the woods near our house using these types of blocks, and they lasted 2-3 months, until the next time the weather thawed enough to melt them. The kids loved camping inside of them, and they could heat them to a comfortable enough temperature with a single kerosene lamp. We lined the floor with things like reindeer hides, sheepskins, and thick wool blankets. The igloos were cozy, quiet winter camping shelters that looked lovely from the outside at night, when the light from within glowed through the snowy walls.

Thanks! I was just showing my 3 year old this video and we're going to try to make one this winter. We never get packed snow like he had to carve blocks out of, so your igloo cooler tip will come in handy! 👍

[@ducksonplays4190]

@@YT-MasterAdmin how did it go?

[@shaddai7415]

Sounds like a dream!

[@Ragesauce]

We did ours a different way. We made 3 huge snowballs and rolled them into the center of a field. we then shoveled all the snow from the surrounding area into the 3 snowballs to make one gigantic mound. Then we carved the inside to however big we wanted it. When we were done, we poured water ontop of it (just a bit at a time) until it made ice on the outside. The inside was extremely packed in and it was so warm and cozy during the winter. It was big enough to stand up in and could fit several people.

[@__-cd9ug]

Ragesauce I'd love to see that on video. Did you come up with the idea?

[@Ragesauce]

We did this 20+ years ago when I was a kid, my cousin and I were out rolling snowballs and we wanted to see how big we could get em. My mom was dating someone at the time and he wasn't very close to us at all, but he told us to roll it as big as we could get it and then put it in the flat part of our yard. We owned an acre in the city and had a huge square piece of land that was just covered in snow. We got the balls way bigger than either of us could stand so he came out and helped us roll them in the middle. He then told us to shovel all the snow around the area ontop of the balls to make one enormous ball (I mean the thing was at least 8 feet high from all the snow we shoveled onto it) I don't know who came up with the idea to pour water on it, but we grabbed pitchers from inside the house of cold water and just started pouring slowly until it became incredibly hard. He took a steel shovel and carved the inside. He took the snow from the inside and used it to make the outside entrance. The way we made the entrance area was to make it high so you had to climb over it, then duck under to get in. This prevented any air from blowing inside. It was so incredibly hot inside it was so awesome as a kid. It lasted well into the beginning of spring even after the other snow started to melt away.

Great project. I had two helpers, while making our igloo. My daughter decided the igloo should have a couple of windows. So, they froze water in a cake pan. The ice looked like a thick piece of glass. I cut a hole and fit the ice window panes in place. After freezing another batch of water, I made double pane windows. one pane on the inside of the igloo and another pane on the outside. The sunset was beautiful shining through the ice window panes. I use a machete to cut and trim the blocks.

Really good. However, you don't need to worry about blocks falling in if you build in a continuous helix, not one ring at a time. The first row of blocks starts low and gets taller all the way round. After that every block is about the same height, as the spiral grows up. I like the spherical dome and the use of the cord to get it perfect, but its easier to build if you don't make the top completely horizontal so that you end up with a slightly conical top. I've done it that way a few times and slept overnight. But your are certainly right about one thing; it takes plenty of time......Bill Dixon

[@overthehilloutdoors6779]

+Bill Dixon Thanks. I've used the continuous helix method and it worked fine if I shaped the top of the igloo more like a rounded cone. It's when I'm working alone and wanting a truly spherical dome that I have trouble with the upper blocks falling. In those situations the ring method has always worked well for me.

The Inuit cut the first row, so that there is a gradual slope from the ground to the blocks. This allows them to build in a continuous spiral, which helps to prevent the blocks from caving back in, without having to leave a taller contact block. Might be a helpful tip for building it on your own.

[@overthehilloutdoors6779]

+Wes Jones Thanks for the suggestion. You're right about the spiral technique being the traditional way to build an igloo, and it works great. I've tried both methods, but I prefer my ring method when working completely alone - especially when snow conditions aren't rock hard. If blocks start to fall before I'm finished I lose only those from the unfinished top ring. But with the spiral method there's nothing to stop additional rows of blocks from falling like dominoes. Go with whatever way works best for you.

[@awesomeboxlord]

Breaking good snow is small ice crystals lousley packed together ice is much denser and if it snows a lot the weight of new snow will compress the older snow forming an glacier. While the glacier gets bigger sediments can end up getting trapped in the ice overtime so when the glacier starts receding it deposits the sediments. There are multiple kinds of depositions like moraine, till, and erratics. There are multiple kinds of glaciers like a valley glaicer or a continentional glaicer and glaicers can errode away valleys forming cirques, arrets, and horns. Valleys may also be formed by glaciers thank you grade 8 science for helping educate people about glaciers and not spelling because im half asleep in my bed redoing my unit 1 final from grade 8 that i still remember.

nice tutorial ive never built a igloo quinsies are my preference as you point out there quicker.. also i have found locating wind blown "crusted snow" to be difficult to locate whereas a quinsey just needs a well packed pile and a few hours to set before hollowing.. also i perfer 10 foot as a minimum for thicker walls larger cold well with 7 foot 3 is crowded with 10 feet 5 isnt . again thanks for the tutorial

[@overthehilloutdoors6779]

Nice to hear from someone who knows about snow shelters from personal experience. Like you, I've built and slept in plenty of quinzees. They're about the only good option when snow is loose and powdery. Thanks for your comment

[@mobiousenigma]

there is the classic snow cave ,, but i have never found conditions where i could just burrow into a bank .. i guess my bushcraft is lacking in landmark identification lol ..i grew up in a rural setting and had walking trails in the winter i would construct quinsies at roughly 1/2 h intervals around the trails so that i was never more than 20 min from warm and while it rarely gets dangerously cold her in s ontario i come from family in northern quebec where things are a bit more serious ,, i would keep candle lanterns and tincan stoves in them usually some chocolate powder as well.. makes for nice afternoons in the bush and eve overnights are no problem .. i am surprised not to see raised benches in your interior and your entrance will act as a cold trap as it is with the other end just a hole in the ground but over all i do like your method and procedures and can find no fault in it .. happy to comment and good to see someone else who knows what a qunsie is lol not many do these days

[@mobiousenigma]

my schooling was architecture so yes i have some knowledge of earth bags and other non traditional methods .. rammed earth and tires make a better option to earth bags imho .. as to snow yes it looks fun but like heat too much is not a good thing lol where i live 4 or 5 months frozen and snow makes things a bit much even though there are ways to deal with it

[@duffelbag5682]

“You’ll have to start a quarry nearby” This is the moment 90% of people realized they were watching this purely for entertainment and not to actually build an igloo

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Once you've made it and got inside, can you use a hobo stove or a small rocket stove to heat and cook on? (Because I take it the stories about Eskimos letting their wives warm up guests is an old wives tale? )!

[@overthehilloutdoors6779]

+Anne Anderson (Foxiepaws) I've used a small stove inside an igloo for short amounts of time to boil water or cook a quick meal, but there's no need for a flame as a heat source. If you're dressed warm enough to build an igloo, you'll have no trouble staying comfortable inside one. The risk of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide poisoning makes the extended use of any flame inside a snow shelter extremely dangerous. I recommend against it.

[@Foxiepawstotti]

overthehill outdoors I think the carbon monoxide is enough to put me off Rocket Stoves (home made are good enough) are pretty effective for food heating and hot drinks and if you have plenty of birch bark or pine resin and little dry pine branches and cones you can get a warm drink and warm yourself up before going in to sleep. (I always take sachets of coffee w/powered milk&sugar everywhere when hiking. .."be prepared" lol!

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Dillon Flannery I think that is how Inuits do it but knowing my luck the CO would get me! But like I said above sachets of coffee are always handy as is a rocket stove if you clear a space on the snow outside the wind doesn't get to it. (Rocket "hobo" stoves are brilliant. ..I'm a confirmed fan of all woodburning stoves etc...butane, I don't know about Propane as I only just discovered you can get it here in UK, cause a lot of condensation indoors and I prefer wood for heating and cooking for that reason, but a small Camping 2 burner is great for outdoor activities as they have the wind shield bit, but you can make toast on a rocket stove (carefully. ..marshmallows too)!

[@redblade43]

+Anne Anderson (Foxiepaws) Inuits would have made a much neater job and they would have fixed a transparent piece of ice for a window.

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Redblade Indubitably true. I wish people would fund a system of summer schools or something that would help to keep these skills and to pass them on to new generations. It's a sin to let all this knowledge just die out. People just don't realise that we could be put back to the stone age if the planet's electro magnetic field continues to break down. The Electric Grid and all electronic gadgets could be wiped out in a heartbeat and those who have survival skills are going to fare much better than the people who think this can never happen. If I had money I would willingly donate to preserving the skills of native tribes from all over the world. People think that survival is for conspiracy theorists but dont realise that a Mass Coronal Ejection from the sun can cause more than just earthquakes, it could wipe out civilisation. (Mind you most of the people who laugh at folk who believe in keeping old skills alive are the very ones that the planet can do without! ).

[@kpete9219]

That was a fantastic video. I live in southern Upper Michigan. I hope we NEVER get enough snow to do that! If I lived in northern Upper Michigan it would probably be no problem to find enough snow. The only way I could do it would be to use the snow that I would shovel off the roof of my house. When it lands after I shovel the snow off the roof, it becomes solid like avalanche snow. You have to be careful not to allow children in there unsupervised. Some have suffocated after the snow caves in.
