HOW TO BUILD An Alaskan Igloo Snow Shelter

[@masamune2984]

No over-the-top music or narration. Just a man building an igloo, making a fire, and enjoying some sausage muffins. This was oddly satisfying and relaxing! Thank you for the video 🙂

Good evening Dave. Winter provides some of the best camping there is. Alaska is such a big place, it is very easy to get away and spend the night completely alone. It is one of my favorite things to do.

[@binny5885]

For starters, the recording and editing of each video is high quality (lighting, angles, sounds, etc.), wow. 2. The range of his art is varied, creative, and exceptional and 3. last but not least his patience and precision associated with each project is elegant, masterful, and awe inspiring. His videos often leave me completely speechless and deeply satiated. So glad I stumbled onto his channel last week!

Your patience and perseverance is amazing. I always wondered how igloos are built and here you are, all by yourself making this little wonder. It must bring contentment and joy to the soul to be in a house built just by yourself. With just the natural sounds, I could feel the snow and the warmth from the fire back here in India. Thank you and loads of love and wishes to good health coming your way!

[@Ernoburger]

Just one small detail: I see a lot of outdoors people drinking coffee with their meals. Problem is, coffee inhibits iron absorption by 40%! Beef has a lot of good iron and consuming coffee with that meal disturbs your body’s ability to absorb it. The solution is simple: wait one hour after the meal before drinking coffee. I love my stove top mocha as well but it’s better to drink it between meals, either before or after. Same with black tea.

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

Interesting. Thank you for the information. Most of the time I don’t drink coffee with my meal- unusually only if I’m out in the cold. Thais care friend. Peace to you.

Good igloo, man! It's good that you have such compressed snow. When I was building my igloo, the snow was not dense. This made the task very difficult. By the way, I did not see in the video how and where do you cut out the snow bricks? Or did you use some kind of press? I couldn't setup stove in my igloo (I didn't have a stove at that moment), so I slept in the fridge 🥶😄❄ How long did you heat the stove? I saw that you brought the pipe right up to the snow. Didn't that melt the hole a lot in the process? Did you cover the entrance to the igloo with a hide or an awning? What was the temperature inside? I hope this year I will find time to repeat this amazing building experience, I now have a stove 🙂 Have a nice day, everyone! 🙌

Good evening friend. Thanks for your comments. It times, I can find dense, wind-packed snow for my blocks, especially in the mountains. Otherwise I pack it and let it freeze for several days. I can use my snowmobile for this and pack a large area fairly quickly. You asked about the stove pipe. It does not melt the snow around the pipe for more than a few inches. However, it is about -20 F in this video so that helps. I always cover the entrance with a small tarp to keep the wind out. I added an old sleeping bag too on this trip because I thought a little insulation would be good. Good luck on your next build. Peace from Alaska

You also asked about the I interior temperature. I always keep it just below freezing to prevent dampness. It is actually very comfortable

@@ThisIsMyAlaska Great, I got it! Thank you very much for your answer, man! Be healthy 💪🤠

[@AsbjornOlsenBergBushcraft]

@@ThisIsMyAlaska Yes, I thought about it too. The dampness is very bad.

SO WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT POLAR BEARS CREEPING UP THE IGLOO?

Love to you from Alaska. Thank you for watching.

I am a cold weather person. Also love camping. You look so cozy in there. Great stove! I was wondering if polar bears ever attack igloos.

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

Good morning my friend. Polar bears are very aggressive and do attack campsites. There are no polar bears in the Alaska Range though. They are further north.

@@ThisIsMyAlaska Do other animals "sneak in" the igloo. I get there's no polar bears, but wolves, marten?
