I used to help teach a winter survival shelter class many years ago. We always ended the weekend with the class building igloos after digging out small snow caves and building shelter berms. It was critical to not build the igloo too high nor too wide in diameter, or two people would not be able to warm it up enough with their body heat and a small stove or candle inside. We only used three tiers of main blocks before filling in the top blocks. The first layer were started at a slant right away. There was only enough room inside to lay out and get two packs in. While the temp outside was well below freezing , the igloos, if built small and compact, would easily get to 38F with no stove going, and up to 45F when cooking food or running the stove for heat. Good memories.
They had crazy good snow blocks, perfect for making igloos. For the blocks to make that sound, it need to be frigid cold outside and the snow really well packed...
when i was in the boy scouts we built igloos similar to this one with the entrance below the ice shelf which is critical for retaining interior heat, but we built individual radial 'spokes' that each person slept in, so we would have between 4 to 8 scouts sleeping in a 10 foot diameter igloo with nobody sleeping inside the actual domed area. with a few candles burning in the center they were really comfortable, especially if it was windy outside. we made our own snow knives out of 1/4"x3" aluminum flat bar, the blanks were bolted together and then run through a table saw with a dado to cut the teeth, and the rest was left up to the individual scout to make the handle and finish the knife however they wanted.
When I was in boy scouts I made a fire with a cloth, a fan, and a light because it was too unsafe to learn how to make a real fire. Little fan guy was fun tho I mean I c'mon look at it go! Whoo! 🔥🙍♂️
Many years ago I finally managed to make one of these. I live in the UK so its rare that we get enough snow to even think about building one, but one year we had a really deep fall overnight so I decided to have a try. It wasn't as big as this one, but I did manage to finish it. Then I ran inside to get a camera so I could take a photo, but when I came back outside it had collapsed
Up in the frozen wastes a well built igloo would last a few years. They were often accompanied by rock works in a specific area. They served as landmarks and shelters for hunters. Quite often igloos were part of winter quarters for the eskimo peoples.
I’ve never known completing the roof inside the room. So amazing. And also they use ice blocks as tender marble. Cool video.

Sú dva spôsoby, alebo staviaš do špirály / ako závit. Alebo ak už máš prax, tak stačí v prvej rade jeden prerezať po uhlopriečke a tam začínaš 2. radu. Pri stavaní potrebuješ 3. body.
As I started to watch the video ..a thought came to mind... The guy with the yellow on the coat must be the foreman..lol everyone else working while he stands around watching...😂😝
2 years on Matt, are you still lounging around watching utube. If so it’s about time toGET OFF YOUR LASY ASS! Jeez man. GET A LIFE! If not, then that’s ok.
What an irony, snow looks so soft and sweet and easy to turn it into anything, play with it etc but if you look on a different aspect, it is most people's cause of death as well, so merciless and bitter. Wow.
When the British explorer Scott went to the South Pole, had he trained his guys to build an Igloo, he and they would have survived. But he was more interested in bringing Poor Ponies, and Useless Tractors to the South Pole expedition. He deserved failure. JMO
Yo i'm canadian. These guy's are in the North of Canada, a place where it's incredibly cold... temperature that are so cold, that it's painful when you go outside. It's maybe -45celcuis where they are right now. They use snow that is very compacted to construct the Igloo. You can eitheir built Igloo, with this kind of snow, or if you have something less compacted, you can build a Quizy, wich is similar but a different technic.

Som zo Slovenska a viem odpoveď na vašu otázku. Ak nejde o sneh zo záveju / prefúkaný/ , ten je asi najpevnejší. Vtedy sa sneh spevniť že prv lyžami udupávate , podobne ako keď sa lyžiarske zjazdovky šliapali bez strojov. Potom ešte topánkami stúpať vedľa seba a nakoniec nechať sneh ustáliť. Je to namáhavejší proces. Je i tretia možnosť ktorú sme použili z deťmi na dvore : Nádoba vo tvare kvádra / my sme mali vrch od veľkého auta z PVC/ a vyrábať veľké tehly a nechať ich primrznúť. Pri teplote +5°C by to veľmi nešlo, ale okolo nuly to išlo v pohode. Tento mesiac sa chystám o tom natočiť i video , lebo lepšie je vidieť , ako iba písať.
Thats what I was thinking. There is supposed to be a well for the heat to rise and cold air to sink. I assumed with this being Inuits that theyd do it right.

15:14 How did he manage to get that block to stay up on the roof without falling down. Did he super glue it there or something? Why did they cut that part out of the video.
Basically it is a wedge.. they use the knife to help angle the blocks ..the very top is at an angle so when the last block is added it can't drop in..the bottom of the surrounding blocks already in place angle outward just enough so it is not a perfect angle ..sorta obtuse. The blocks hold each other up . Sort of like the old archways of medieval periods and earlier civilizations. It's basic architecture gravity does the rest..😁
After watching other people build igloos on youtube, you guys were BY FAR the BEST ~ fastest & most efficient with a vastly superior end product. But hey, who builds an igloo better than an Eskimo right? I do think it's comical that they lived in a tent while building the igloo! Just sayin...
I'm ten months late, but depending on the size of tge igloo and amount of people, it could be a much netter and warmer home tgan a tent in that environment.

all the sounds of feet crunching snow had me going crazy... sounded like you guys made it outta styrofoam

THANK YOU.
EXACTLY
This sound becomes creakier the colder it gets... I think, it's at least - 25°C in the video

3:18 "oh, shit! camera is recording gotta look busy"...lol
dante bigguy XD
You know its cold when the snow squeaks!
That's hard work... I'm getting exhausted by just watching this video.
Finally i see someone build it properly so the cold air goes to deeper part what is next to entrance and there is rised part where all warm air rises
Áno, postavili , ale príliš vysoké.
I've always wondered how to build an igloo. Thanks for sharing this video!!

i just wanna go up to that thing and smooth it out perfectly
GOOB
Salam
The wind and blizzard takes care of that lol
Lol you can't help it huh
Such neat, very snow. I am very impress. wow. :3
when it crunches under your feet it is the right snow
I love that sound, maybe I'm weird.

That's normal thing, it's satisfying
Thats what i came for

All this time I thought styrophoam was made in some factory
Nope. Same place they made all of your brains. Why do you think you're all airheads?
Big Respect for you people! From the squeak of the snow, I can tell it's cold!
Great video. NIce job building that igloo.
For a 10.y old video this has amazing quality.
Most satisfying video I've seen In my life
I would always love the tropical climate, sunny and rainy only through out the year without cold ice. Greener of course. :)
Awesome!
the guy in the yellow is a classic new york worker
those new York workers are mainly latinos
Mia Karenina Prada De la Bock
Closes my eyes sounds like people messing with balloons
igloos are awesome and I only imagine they get even sturdy as more snow piles on it an fills the whole securing it
OMG, I get exhausted just looking at this! But some feat!!
You know its cold when the snow squeaks under your feet.
And this is why Inuits need chainsaws.
I now really want those fur gloves😍😂
excellent work! I wish we got the kind of snow to make an igloo.
what has happened to my life that I'm watching 20 mins of people building an igloo
As I started to watch the video ..a thought came to mind... The guy with the yellow on the coat must be the foreman..lol everyone else working while he stands around watching...😂😝
what am i doing with my life
at least you are not building igloos
2 years on Matt, are you still lounging around watching utube. If so it’s about time toGET OFF YOUR LASY ASS! Jeez man. GET A LIFE! If not, then that’s ok.
I like the sound from the cold ice block.
That snow sounds ridiculously cold.
That’s a mighty igloo
THAT IS STIR FOM
Güzel oldu tebrikler. Yerleşik hayata geçersiniz artık :)
What
How incongruous...caterpillar tractor background to saws and long blades building a shelter.
I love how everytime one starts to help
They sound like Pingu
I love that show
pinga is adorable
PINGAS
Polar bear feet for gloves! They look super warm
and super illegal
Will Thies no, not for traditional hunters and my understanding is that they are at record numbers.
BEAUTIFUL WORK ......we got a lot to learn from you all
we means what?
twoja stara My family and I...we love winter camping trips and would like to try building an igloo
Oh man that makes me want to go home leave school for a while, I miss the cold it gets very hot in Japan
It's been a long time since I herd some one speak Cree I understand just as well as when I was little
+elmer sackanay wasn't that language Inuinnaqtun or Western Arctic Inuktitut?
I wonder how it feels if you’re sleeping and the dome comes crashin down
For some reason I love these sounds
wow👍🏻 how can top roof be stable and solid😮
Great way to get yourself knocked out. Best to have practical skill in this.
the SAW is just waving around there
Thanks for this video seriously I didn’t know igloos were real
The dryer snow is the more it squeaks
very interesting indeed! but i'll stick to my condo
just mute and x2 speed, that will make sure u can enjoy that vid and sleep good at night
I made one of these and it fell on top of me and my sister 😂
It gave me the chills

Damn it only takes 18:24secs to build an igloo
Film pri natáčaní sa stále strihá v nejakom programe.
I love that sound
Beatiful work
Sounds like Polystyrene rubbing together.
That is a pretty COOL igloo. Get it? No? Ok.
igloos are relatively warm inside. hence your pun is no longer a pun
Igloo lesson from the masters!!!! :D
All that snow screeching was driving me crazy. Like a nail to a chalk board. Overall cool igloo.
it is so awesome
That's sound is driving me nuts!
sheesh it sounds cold as can be we rarely have that screechy of snow here in south dakota and when it is its well below zero

Next time I hear that sound I'm jumping out my window
shouldn't it be recessed into the ground with a tunneled entrance and a raised interior section for sleeping?
It doesn't really matter much
Carlos Quiroz unless you are concern about freezing to death.
Thats what I was thinking. There is supposed to be a well for the heat to rise and cold air to sink.
I assumed with this being Inuits that theyd do it right.
That sounds like cutting styrofoam
Building the Pantheon in snow...
That sounds like Styrofoam being sliced😧😡😂
Marc Jethro Lucero yes it does
This is a lost Art......They sleep in tents
ob gumbo
Only for overnight or urgent use.
We have houses in communities and normally build a cabin.
Lol 😂 don't make assumptions about us if you haven't been there or heard from a third party.
15:14 How did he manage to get that block to stay up on the roof without falling down. Did he super glue it there or something? Why did they cut that part out of the video.
Looks like he set the brick on top, then cut it at a 45 degree angle so it slipped in.
He used ig-glue
im ded
Basically it is a wedge.. they use the knife to help angle the blocks ..the very top is at an angle so when the last block is added it can't drop in..the bottom of the surrounding blocks already in place angle outward just enough so it is not a perfect angle ..sorta obtuse. The blocks hold each other up .
Sort of like the old archways of medieval periods and earlier civilizations. It's basic architecture gravity does the rest..😁
@@metalhead0274 Perfect explanation!
How long did it take to complete?
TWOHEADEDOGRE i think it has token like 5 hours. becouse they was 4 person doing it
Ok
Bet the igloo was warmer than the tent. yes? Have enough people! ;)
That sound is cause of the cold.has to be 10 below or better for that type of snow.
Man that scraping hurts my teeth. Thats dry snow and hard. Would want that colaps on a fellow at night.
It looks and sounds like thermacoal !
This is so cool,what do you sleep on?The floor must be so cold. What wild animals are there. This is a great video. Is this Hudson’s bay?
How do they do it without the roof caving in?
Same way marble arches and domes are built. You carefully shape the blocks and they press on each other such that they hold each other in place.
1:09 i feel for dude when he reaches for that saw and gets shut down

Stays Perfect horizontally ↔️
and not falling ↘️⤵️
I love the sound
Why the roof doesn't fall?
I'd hot box that joint everyday
Why does snow sound so different
Sounds like that in extreme cold. -10F
Doing the top few layers must be exhausting.
make more igloo videos and stay over night in it
That snow sounds so weird. Almost like styrofoam, especially at 8:16 and 9:30.
@@kulyashra8760 Either that, or I don't live in an area with permafrost.
Polar bear gloves ... hope he earned them!
How do they notch the top layers so they don't fall inside
