HOW TO BUILD AN IGLOO

Video of an igloo I built in a field near my house in November 2010 with explanation of building method.
I built it using a washing up bowl which I packed snow into to form the bricks for building. Once each one was laid, I packed snow between the joints and smoothed more snow over the filled joints inside and out to bind the structure together.
After each layer of bricks was laid, they were shaped with a kitchen knife to get the required angle for the next layer.
Once the dome was made, I cut an access hole then built an arched tunnel as a entrance.
Check out my other bushcraft videos in the playlist on the right side of the page.
Thanks for watching.

Coming from a guy with one totally unrelated video on his channel that means alot, thanks man. I thought you might have extensive videos about inuit culture and the proper way to build an igloo, but no.

wise men say that the leading cause of homeless-ness is leaving your own place without securing your means of getting back inside.
