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.

[@ahmadalhasn8111]

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

[@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.

[@aycoop]

Good morning Outsider, and thank you for an amazing adventure. I remember that ammo can heater. Ok, I’m 74 and living vicariously through you for quite some time now. I owe you dude. Life is good.

[@richardguse3410]

Two thumbs up from a 77 year old!

[@evelynmacmillan2485]

And a 76 year old . Do you thin the heater will work with a well ventilated shed...the closet I get to outdoors these days😊

[@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!

[@__cypher__]

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

[@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!

[@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 😪

[@T4me69]

Such an awesome video, very interesting. Thank you for sharing 😊 Hope you and your family are well!

[@ericstoever9577]

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

[@mkmac9539]

Wow!!! So creative. Nicely done.

[@randadhoy2066]

The heating system is the bomb of the whole experience!

[@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! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍👍😀💕💕💕🌸🌸🌸❄️❄️❄️

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 !!!

[@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!!

[@daviddeluca476]

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

[@shanepowers7566]

Add one of them all night log feeding ramps to the campfire.

[@JimzOnDroid]

You had me at MacGuiver!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@mary333j]

You made a quinzee💜

[@sandralovegrove2805]

You made my day☮️🇨🇦💝

[@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. 👍

[@TheRealThisIsAlex]

i like the gurgling sound of the ammo can heater

[@meturns4666]

Hello my friend, awesome to see you back , you've been missed , another great video thankyou , hoping your wife and daughter are both well, much love from Melbourne Australia ❤

[@deborahrogers8688]

Hi mr Outsider, your talents never cease to amaze me! We always look forward to your Vlogs ! Sending best wishes to you & your family ❤

[@texcosmo4236]

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

[@jamesmoore7106]

Glad to see you it’s been a while 🤠👍

[@pleopold4010]

you're having way too much fun right there dude lol

[@douglasscott5003]

Thanks for sharing.

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

Copper coil and garden hose is a great idea.

[@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. 🌻🤟🌻👍🌻

[@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

[@soniayoung7531]

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

[@godthesonthomas]

Good to see you back Outsider!

[@laruedouglas7972]

That is an awesome heating system 😃

[@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.

[@rodlyver8081]

Another great survival lesson. Thank you... Be safe....

[@TonyGeneseo]

Always a pleasure seeing that you’ve posted a video !! Hope all is well my friend ! Take care

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

Great video and fantastic information. Thank you and loved your snow cave creation. God Bless.

[@kingrafa3938]

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

[@TinyCabinLife]

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

[@bwillan]

Using the tarp for pulling out the snow from the inside was a great idea. Was there any issue with snow melting under your heated bed? If so, a piece of rigid foam insulation on the bottom side should help with that and have the heat rise.

[@lanceneuman9528]

Thanks, looks like fun.

[@harrygreen6935]

Very good idea. So great see you & pray the family is doing well. Thanks so much for your time.

[@canoelew2288]

[@vdwalt4464]

Sweet, short and informatively entertaining. Good hearing from you!

[@WillieMakeit]

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

[@user-md6cv9rc9t]

Build a solid polystyrene box to surround the ammo can also to allow for exterior application

[@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 🙂

[@nancyrea3863]

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

That is amazing!!!!

[@alan11121959]

That looked like fun! Very clever system, easy to setup and extremely cost effective. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@andrewmacaulay1585]

Excellent… makes me think of the water jacket in my furnace.. New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦

[@bettyhodges1180]

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

[@corrydolbeer1464]

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

[@Tajarim88]

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

[@BCVS777]

An ingenious experiment!

[@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.

[@maxinemadero9650]

Nice to see you.

[@adrockey]

Awesome video!!! Really like the heated bed system.

[@lorettawhiteside3153]

Outsider great experiment with the igloo. The settings were beautiful around it.

[@CCRider5312]

Hello Outsider 👋🏼 Hope all is well with you and your family. Praying 🙏🏼 for ya brother, God Bless 😁👍🏼

[@irenaoreskovic8339]

Learn something new every day ,good job outsider 😊😀💜

[@AdirondackgeorgeFB]

Perfect like always❤

[@geoffreykail9129]

You could glue foam insulation on to the box so to save from loosing heat into the outside air.

[@kathleenmead9259]

AMAZING!!!

[@Donneczka1]

You are so clever! Cool system! ❄️❄️❄️

[@tiffanyrun8742]
