I like your video. I've never seen a sleeping layout like that. If you are into igloos and want to try another method for building them, check out my own igloo building video here on my page.
@PineMartyn I checked out your video - nice concept! Easy way to build it. We don't have any snow hardly ever in the valley, so I gotta hike up to the mountains for my igloos :) So I am nut sure I want to add extra weight to my load. Well, maybe those forms are lightweight.
I can appreciate not wanting to burden yourself with extra weight when hiking into the mountains. The Icebox is compact & weighs 4.92 lbs (less if you don't bring the extra poles for all sizes of igloo). Its inventor, Igloo Ed, is a rather remarkable mountain hiker who regularly camps in igloos in Rocky Mountain National Park , so he designed it for its portability. At under 5 lbs, the Icebox weighs less than a winter tent by quite a long way.
@breakingfreeoz Yeah - I hope I will do some snow camping this coming winter too! Maybe I will try tenting although I love igloos, they are so cozy :)
