    Love the Canadian sense of humour - "-15c is too warm for these winter clothes" The Australian equivalent would be "43c is not hot enough to turn the aircon on." Nice house.

      As an Australian, in Melbourne, I would be putting the air con on at 25+c. Not sure what you are on about, but 43c and not turning the air con on? You clearly don't live here and assume things. And if you were living in the HOT Parts of Australia where it does get HOT very often, you don't venture out to get heatstroke because its fun... We seek shade and normal things like that.

  • @canoozie
    @canoozie ปีที่แล้ว +246

    3 things: 1) Any Canadian who's ever shoveled snow would tell you -15 C is too warm to be wearing a bunch of winter gear; and 2) An igloo's entrance is typically met with a drop in elevation at the entrance (think a small pit) which catches cool air and provides shelter from wind, and must contain an elevated area inside that gets you near the roof where the warmer air is (fun fact, your body is what heats up an igloo); 3) Your body heat will naturally cause the inside to form an ice layer wich will seal the gaps naturally, no need for a slush mortar. Anyway hope this helps. (Of course I know this isn't a long term structure, whereas my tips 2 & 3 are most practical in a long term structure)

    I can just see the HOA having a collective gasp. A couple of pointers from when we did it (on a much smaller scale) under the supervision of a guy from Ungava: if you build a spiral (so you start with thin, but slightly angled bricks of snow) then the compressive forces as the snow settles will actually reinforce the iglou. Build a platform (of snow if you don't want to do earthmoving) off the ground to get the living quarters closer to the roof where it's warmer. And have a long (at least 3 metres) tunnel to get in, that should ideally be below ground, in order to stop heat escaping out the doorway. Final advice: get yourself a loved one to share it with you, body heat will bring that internal temperature up past 3º.

    wow, very beautifully built!! May I know if the wood stove will eventually melt the igloo?

    You are too funny & very cool! My daddy & I build an igloo on the 2nd story of our porch just buy filling up a plastic shoebox from reaching over the balcony. It was the early 60's, I was 5 or 6. I couldn't believe how warm it was in below zero weather! We had a blizzard that year. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

    Love it! I used to build igloo's in North Idaho and found it much easier to mark out a big circle in the snow then pile all the surrounding snow on top and pack it solid as you go. Before you know it you have a solid dome that you can then dig out into an igloo (even if you have to wheelbarrow in some extra materials from the neighbors yard;) ❄️

      You can't make an igloo that way, but you can make a Quinzhee ;)

    Tiny recommendation... mention the temperature units when you give the stats. When you said 3 degrees inside with a fire, I was wondering why your igloo is so much colder than my 34 degree-interior igloo. I scrolled back and confirmed the tiny "C" on your digital thermometer.
    Great build. I've been living in my powder-built igloo the last week (we don't have the luxury of snow blocks here)

      I'd assume that if a video isn't from a US creator (or one of the 7 countries in the world that still use Fahrenheit as their main temperature unit) that any temperatures given are in degrees centigrade.

    Hi Drew, after CTV now watching your video on your channel. So cool, and GREAT seeing the Pizza oven again. Good for many more pizzas in the summer! I wonder if your parents' realty taxes will go up much with the addition of this major property improvement? cheers

    Please help! My igloo home keeps disappearing during certain times of the year. It only seems to happen in the summer time and when it does I keep having to buy new TVs because they get flood damage! Any tips? (Fr nice igloo though)

    • @Clouds-su3dc

      If you are seeing this comment then I would really love to break it to you that you can actually really keep your igloo from melting and I will show you how it’s done. So to keep an igloo from melting first I would suggest to add water to the igloo and let it freeze to enhance its durability. Next cover the igloo with a thick layer white tarp to trap the snows cold air inside to keep it below, freezing, reflect the sunlight heat from the outside keeping heat from entering underneath to help maintain a colder temperature and even protect it from the rain due to the tarps, being waterproof. And for the big bonus, adding more thick layer white tarps to cover the igloo can further improve the igloo's survival in the heat due to more insulation. And for the results that I have already tested, if you use the thick layer, white tarp to cover the igloo, you can make the igloo survive a decent amount of days that are summer like temperatures that are literally sitting over 23°C as long as you secure it from the wind from the outside getting in. 👍

      not enough to do much of anything. the igloo material being cold and packed together keeps itself frozen, like a giant ice block would

    This idea of a igloo it's wonderful,but if the igloo house would be built with solid wood or other durable material that won't melt away.Or maybe made out of concrete

    Honestly i been saying this before covid that ppl need to take their power back not for themselves but for the generations to come. Grow your own food source your own heat and water. This society has created consumers now adays instead of builders. We need more inspiration and creation in building for a better future. ❤❤❤ I support anyone whos opting for offgrid and self sustainability❤❤❤❤❤🙏
