That looked like so much fun to build! And it turned out great. Well done! Nice 4 season tent back there.

@wawhiker We usually do not take a tent when we build an igloo. We did because we were going to arrive at the camping spot at night. With the igloo it is nice not having to taking down your icy cold tent in the morning.

[mudtoa]

@shebadelareba05 It took us six hours total, including lunch breaks and snow ball fights.

@mudtoa nice tent..i agree....much easier cleanup..setup ....etc...it was nice to chat with you...ill be looking for your vids..safe trails... peace

@sousaville The tent in the background is a Marmot Thor 4P (4 person).  It is big enough for the whole family of 4 (just barely). Setting up one tent vs 2 is a lot easier. Plus I only have one tent to dry out when I get home.

@sousaville The tool is called an ICEBOX, I bought mine at REI a few years ago. I used my 20% off coupon and dividend. I have seen a couple used ones for sale online. You can also get it direct from grandshelters. com. We slept in the tent the first night.
