great vid and next time i make one imma listen to TheTobyKing

heres a tip i like to use: before hollowing out, take some stick/twigs, and snap them into pieces about 10 inches long (desired wall thickness). Stick the sticks straight into the pile from the top and all the sides. When you hollow out and hit the end of the stick, you know the wall thickness is perfect. and, upon removing the sticks, you have some air holes, to keep oxygen levels in your shelter steady.

@dudelamp1 roflmfao bears hibernate all winter. Though it is good to make sure you're not near where a bear is hibernating, you NEVER want to wake up a sleeping bear, or be around when one does get woken up.

to gauge the thickness of the walls just take sticks ( if available ) that are as long as you want the walls to be thick and push them into the undug quinzhee. whilst digging the quinzhee out you will eventually reach the end of the sticks on the inside, thus enabling you to judge the thickness of the walls. do not forget to have the resting area raised above the entrance trench to enable the cold air to travel downwards and away from you. nice vid. peace.

You could have saved a lot of time and just laid on the ground and threw snow on yourself....

It was just a way to demonstrate that if you did puncture the side of the walls that it is easy to patch.
