How to Make a Perfect Igloo - Ray Mears World of Survival - BBC

[MegaCheezyWeezy]

I am going to build an igloo and hotbox the fuck outta it.

[SMBwings]

Why do poeple put on funny accents when translating into English

[etphonehome2915]

If Ray had to cut him self out, there would not be any iglo left.

[solobackpacking]

Take my word for it.

This is a craft, don't expect in a emergency situation to be able to build a igloo like his.

[Max0Inq]

"We can raise the temperature to about freezing point" :O

[ZebbMassiv]

I wonder why there are no video on how to make a "Quincy hut" which is similar to an igloo

[PineMartyn]

@ZebbMassiv

I've camped and slept in both quinzhees and igloos. A quinzhee is a snow shelter that doesn't quite compare with an igloo in terms of comfort and stability, but they take little skill to make. Just do a search for the word quinzhee and you'll find videos on it. I have a video on how my wife and I build our igloos on my channel.

Cheers,

-Martin

[alexaalexaalexa1]

I love igloos and the I love the name loll

[EthonggPLUR]

you have to admit tho smoking weed in an ingloo would be boss as fuck lol

[sandykoong]

those people remind me of avatar and the last air bender

[Astronautical123]

how do they have sex

[WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWVWW]

i feel like i am watching Pingu

[EviousProductions]

this is how I make an igloo:

Mound up giant pile of snow,

dig out middle. done.

Is this method dangerous/too difficult?

I like it...

[ChaosRyan]

can they put salt in behind of the ice to make them stick?

[JCGMich29]

Too bad this didn't show how to actually build an igloo like the title said.

[surfin4]

you need an opening for the smoke to escape?

[PineMartyn]

@surfin4

The hole in the ceiling is to let air circulate, to let moisture escape (otherwise it condenses on the walls and wets the floor at the perimeter), and to permit smoke and gases to escape from lamps or stoves.

[bikenutter1]

I've camped out in 2*C. It's not that cold.

[kaylahappygirl]

my first words with seeing those wolves where " wolves wolves wolves!!! " :D

[levilisko]

@kaylahappygirl you speak to youtube? weird girl :P

[kaylahappygirl]

@levilisko ?

[trustablerolin]

@kennydrizzle1 what about the wood inside??? tepee need support...

[PapaSmurfWasHigh]

@kennydrizzle1 teepees use wood and pelt/fur

[MultiCmiller]

what type of parka is that i really want to get one

[LiveByTheAxe]

the sounds in the start making my body feel weird

[OffspringFTW65]

What do you call a bunch of potheads in an igloo with all the doors shut? A COLD BOX HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

[OffspringFTW65]

What do you call a bunch of potheads in an igloo with all the doors shut...? A COLD BOX HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

UrdnotCarrot

You can actually pay for week survival trips with Ray go look on his site he's quite expensive but would be great for a stag weekend

[UrdnotCarrot]

i wish ray would take me into the woods lol

[Hannah76751]

Its so cool how people do these thing!

[CoolKillerClan]

even whit your coat at 0 inside the iglo it gana melt you need to keep it at 10

so you can remove your coat and your tamperater whont make it melt

[Vikitoria00]

I built a little igloo yesterday :D but omg when you make a fire in there the smoke is all in the eyes and nose...

[QatariCamelCatcher]

1.) Make Igloo

2.) Get High.

3.) ???

4.) PROFIT.

[gameesa101]

fuck mexicans im gettin me a eskimo

[cullyvan]

I think we should talk about nazis. Could Nazis build an igloo ?

[GoGoOtaku]

@cullyvan They can't! First: Nazis are not aloud to build a house or anything similar without permission by the government! Second: There is not enough snow in Germany! One time they tried to steal snow from the Russians... but I think we all know how this story ended.

[nitroflesh]

I live in Holland and as you know you can buy and smoke weed, no problem. But statistics say that we have one of the lowest rate of drug addicts in Europe. So...

But yeah we cannot buy guns. That sucks. Big time.

[gskip94]

i hot boxed an igloo today it was fucking awesome!!!!

[sneakyninja273]

pried plant material = weed

[1996alexrose]

Or get a bunch of Eskimos to do the job for you

[rickrickrr]

i think the weed in this video is a little to dry so it burns to slow. jou know what i mean

[TheGuitarGodsSon]

why not make an igloo made of marijuana, then burn it down to stay high and warm?

[kaykko]

I made a house out of black ice today

I'm going to call it a niglu

[elliotsvideos]

@kaykko racist.

[143yamaha]

i tell ya. its pretty depressing going to an igloo video (a basically happy subject) and i get arguements. every video you go to has an arguement. why.

[Rsfeva1250]

12 people can't build arches without internal supports.

[MrXtremie]

@Rsfeva1250

you mean 14

[CHRISTIAN6182]

i like the part where it shows you how to make an igloo.

[TheJacketpotatoman]

3:00

he's getting high

[zZBstarDZz]

i can make a snowman with no internal support

[vafaneh]

@zZBstarDZz That is truly amazing

[iwillavengeyou]

i almost built one, but it fell in on myself

[1tanhaa1]

Awesome

[giammira]

Alle these...pot comments made me think about it, and yes I admit that inside an igloo on NewYearsEve it would be a nice cosy setting for it... . That starting fire looked... . That's what lured some comments I think. Ppl who talk shit about marijuana are just scared of the outlaw, brainwashed, don't know the all story, can't take their personal side at things without picking parties. You can be sporty (not a champion) and still enjoy a pot now and then, just use your brain, like in everything..

[killakdizzel]

@giammira Nick Diaz is a champion mixed martial artist, a world class triathlete and a chronic pot smoker... ;-) 

[giammira]

@killakdizzel so...it's even less harmful than I think, is that what you're saying?....

[victory123ful]

0:00 / 3:58

[kiffyando]

fuck off stoners bunch of hippies !!!

[SpeedDemon2468]

Why are there so many stoned little fucks on an igloo video

Did the little fucking pink elephants and flying ballsacks direct them here

[solidpython]

@SpeedDemon2468

If they are seeing Pink Elephants and flying ballsacks then I'm afraid they took something much stronger than Marijuana...

[MrMARCU5]

No way...I built an igloo 2day! kits awesome...im stoned!

[Ste0wnz]

Well i'm a stoner and i went on an igloo video because with all the snow i've got i was wondering how to make one haha. But fuck any ignorant cunts who are genuinely ignorant enough to feel its wrong for anyone to smoke (or like myself vaporise) marijuana. Clearly its less harmful than alcohol and tobacco and clearly the facts they claim about it have been proven wrong years ago as hardly any scientists even back the governments rants. Obviously taking anything in excess is bad.

[TFrenchy]

Top be fair Ray Mears is great to watch while stoned.

[Jayman135861]

wow fucking deadbeat potheads, how did u get on a damn igloo video??????

[iLikeSushiXD]

OMG I THOUGHT IT WAS STYROFOAM

[ScorchThunder]

Marajuana sucks you all need to find better drugs

[5tonyvvvv]

Legalize it !!

[Washu1973]

I once made an ig instead of an igloo, the mistake I made was I forgot to install a loo.

[Kello1231]

I want to hotbox an igloo.

[drawesome2000]

@Kello1231 I know a guy that did.

[NeonNightz]

@Kello1231 Been there, done that.

[matthew3700]

igloos are gay

[Pockets1989]

@matthew3700 dumb ass then why are you looking up how to make one

[ChadHClifford]

Very cool! I believe caribou fat also works for the kudloo light. As likely does a lot of other fats. Soapstone was commonly used for the kudloo.

[YAHSNUM1]

thats amazing!

[Counted01]

"You see, out there you'll freeze to death, but in here you'll just be cold as fuck."

[tranceandsun]

@lance43 @Virginityrocks what this has to do with a snow igloo wtf ???

[BigUpToNJ]

more cowbell 1:50

[Sorcererno]

@BigUpToNJ hahahaha perfect.

[tirubanopureauaiona]

legalized!

[Lexmarkpes]

smoke and be in peace dudeee

[4optics]

Marijuana (hemp) was demonized by the media of the time because it was competition to the oil based plastic textile industry. Most textiles were made from hemp and cotton before plastic arrived.

[msfeliciagirl]

where did marijuana come into play? this is about how to make an igloo assholes

[nameofmeAJ]

@msfeliciagirl well the first thing that comes to mind when I hear "igloo" is obviously smoking it out. (Yes it has happened before.)

[levilisko]

@msfeliciagirl well what would you smoke in order to make you have the stupid idea of traveling to the northpole ?weed of course

[rpadilla99ish]

i wanted to watch an igloo video and i found an argument about weed......

[deathpl3dge]

@rpadilla99ish What are ou talking about, weed was'nt mentioned once in this video?

[Lavikz]

@deathpl3dge The comments you dumb ass.

[deathpl3dge]

@Lavikz K kool. Dick.

[mjcmavs]

only problem.....HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET A "BLOCK" OF ICE?! thumbs up if you agree

[WilliamBroichYAY]

@mjcmavs you get a block of ice by shaping the snow to a block... and no i will not thumbs up

[djchopsticks0208]

@mjcmavs lol u got problems

[papyschultz]

@mjcmavs I would thumb up if you didn't wrote "thumbs up if you agree"!

However, I love Igloo

I WANT A JACKET LIKE THAT.......FUCK THAT JACKET LIKE THAT

[abandonnez]

I wonder if in these 230ish comments someone has been stupid enough to ask why you can't raise them temp any higher xD

[AtheistFarmer]

that's dogs are fucking beautifull and awesome too

[thedarkriver1]

this fuckn video don't teach you shit about constructing an igloo!!

[T3CHB3N]

I've just watched a rather interesting and informational video, I then scroll down to find an argument about drugs.... 0_o

[BandWagon1987]

No wonder they moved into towns. Seriously, living in an ice shell at freezing point, with only some seal fat to remind you where you are?! No thanks.

[Cytacon]

The snow sounds like styrofoam. I would love to spend a night in an igloo, they look so cozy.

[minion6500]

mannn i wanna build an igloo.....stupid TEXAS!!

[yotuber666]

how is that possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dhom100]

amazing. I wish I could make an igloo. Les Stroud tried to make one on his show and it was a complete failure.

[SmoothCriminalAaron]

Ok, whats the thing called when you make a igloo sized pile of snow and then dig a hole into it?

[HnyPnchsOfThrts]

@SmoothCriminalAaron that called a quinzee hut

[SmoothCriminalAaron]

@HnyPnchsOfThrts One of the rare, many month later reply that actually mean something to me, thanks.

But I'd Rather Build a Pizza Hut

[PineMartyn]

@SmoothCriminalAaron

It's called a quinzhee. Less skill required to make a quinzhee, but they aer less stable, more prone to collapse, typically much less roomy, and unless the walls are of uniform thickness and a proper catenary arch is created, a quinzhee will sag and the ceiling get lower and lower until it's unusable after a few days. But igloos require a certain kind of compacted, wind-swept snow that's hard to find. I use the Icebox system, for any kind of snow.

[valnuke]

if this is life, it's better to shoot yourself in the head

[turtlespameater]

Eskimos pwn your face.

[NoobsUnited]

i hate the sound of the snow in the begining -_- i suffer that noise evry year...i live in canada mtl

[temporary1121]

i bet their canadian

[bdubboi]

check out my igloo  --my hotbox igloo-- it has a fireplace, electricity and seats

[Urashrimpimapimp]

@bdubboi haha i watched your hotbox igloo and then I went to this video afterwards lol

[jgdogg441]

@bdubboi i personally think your igloo is retarded

[bdubboi]

i personally dont give a fuck whatcha think. and besides my igloo was for novelty purposes it aint like i plan on livin in it ya fuckin idiot. i aint a fuckin eskimo dummy

[deathstar1986]

awesome... I live in DC, and we just finished building an igloo outside our apartment building... EPIC!

[Watchmii1]

wow

[purplehamster2]

that. is. COOL!

[TheMrPaddzy]

Me and my dad made an igloo in 2 days but it was much neater and bigger than yours than yours we didn't have any gaps in between the blocks (we used co-op boxes 2 shape our blocks)

[newspot221]

@TheMrPaddzy Good for you

[TheFaustianMan]

Where do they sell the blocks? Kidding of course. Again I say, "God Bless The BBC."

[Tahoebee]

seems to be relatively easy - somehow easy to manage

[lolman1565]

this is awesome i want to try, but

wouldn't seal blubber attract polar bears?

[kies48]

wow that igloo looks awesome,

way better then the bucket one the guy below did

[Travide]

how does the snow stay in shape like that and I would like them to make a video wher they put the last few layers on the top lol it seems like the very top middle one is the support but how des the rest stay up

[mandopokefan2009]

i made a igloo out of snow today is was great but it was better than this one

i used buckets to shape the snow and it was much simpler! lool

[ricky0604fh]

well, you dont have buckets when your out in the wild do you survivor boy...

[PHOEBEANDMARK]

Yeah we made one too but not a classical one.

[FrEnChYpTiChEf]

Les wasn't there at the right time of year and did it without having the tools and probably with frozen fingers. He was alone unlike Ray needing to have a local to baby-sitt him.

I don't see what's amazing about cutting block of snow anyways.

[dhom100]

these guys are expert. I wish I could do that. Les Stroud tried it once on this show. he spent a whole night doing it and it was still pathetic. lol.

[Mocktails]

My blocks are too small, gotta make 'em bigger.

[cutiec911]

cool

[Jack123w]

I spent 6 hours with 4 friends making an igloo. It's huuuuge!

[CrysisLTU2]

Make a video, I want to see your igloo.

[Jack123w]

It's slumped a bit now but i've got some pictures from when we made it.... I'll put them in a video and show you :P

[Jack123w]

v=awXHiqNtOYQ

:P Ive gotta go now but there it is, sorry its so rushed.

[1234JAMMYJOE1234]

i know a way to make an igloo if the snow you have it too powdery: make a huge pile of snow the size you want your igloo leave it for a few hours then hollow it out

[JustAPurpleWolf]

@1234JAMMYJOE1234 You can just as easily find like a tupperware plastic box in the shape of a brick and pack snow into it, then just form walls etc with it. :D

Its what i did. :P

[J0HNH0P]

i finished building mine today! but its TAKEN ME 3 DAYS.

[Rawranator24]

i made an igloo in less then 1 minute, I went to petsmart and bought myself a igloo shape dog house.

[ecallaw2k8]

^^ we fitted eleven people in it, took 6 hours to build (with a stop for a greggs half way through)

[ecallaw2k8]

we made an igloo using toybox sized bricks. we copped out on the roof and used planks and plastic bags with snow thrown over the top.

[smithycity123]

ive built a igloo and it took me 6 hours NOT 45 MINNN

[fabiana6111]

wow i wish i could watch more

[djduncs132]

Im trying to make an igloo because we got so much snow in scotland but im using brick sized snow bricks... and im kinda stuck on how to curve the top.

[PokefanDP]

One method I use is to form bricks from packing snow into washing up bowls+ upturning them, rather like making sandcastles!

p.sThere's loads of snow in Yorkshire too lol! :D

[mionDM]

The only problem is that in Scotland the snow is turned to powder like snow I am building an igloo too my neighbors made a great one!

[djduncs132]

Yeah im still trying to make mine but the snow just falls apart in your hands ¬_¬

[barkulator]

Last year I finally closed the roof and got an igloo made. Thsi year I'm using a waste basket to make snow blocks. Even powdery snow works, but you have to let the blocks set and freeze solid for 5+ hours before you can build with them.

[djduncs132]

Wow, thats a long time to wait to make one block.

[barkulator]

That's why they take a year to build

[djduncs132]

Well Mears made his in 45 minutes lol

[barkulator]

Make piles of snow and stomp on them. Then leave it to set for 5 hrs or so. Then pile more snow and stomp on it some more until you have a large pile of hard packed snow. I discovered that even fluffy snow will harden once its been stepped on. Then cut it with a handsaw.

[94svenni]

i build an igloo and finisht it to day :)

[Lolinn123]

sure you did SURE!!! it was not a Igloo its a snowhouse

[n2dabloo]

Awesome vid. I'd like to think that the "old timers" will persevere and retain this knowledge.

[matty2429123]

lance 43 is a dumb fuck matunaagah knows what he's talking about

[barrybuttery]

@matty2429123

Well, your wrong, and an idiot. So go away, before i have to blow you away with some real knowledge on the subject!

[mickee06]

who where are you going to hang the pictures and who will do the electrical work

[gamereviewX]

I think he just talks so he dont have to help lol

[HooDlymUK]

the noise of the snow rubbing together makes my teeth itch! It's like rubbing a fork across a plate. it's fine when you do it but when someone else is it makes your hairs stand on end!!

[spartanses]

sounds like that polystyrene stuff u get in packaging. cringeeee

[djinstructor]

Is it just my eyes or does Ray Mears look like he's putting on a bit of weight? Strange because he assures us that he only eats reindeer moss and flotsam! Is he partaking in a few too many breakfast buffets paid for by the BBC?

[lazyfaire]

"we can raise the temperature to freezing point".... damn... thank God for modern insulation/construction.
