its in alaska ill give him a pass probably not many people passing trew there but a friend of mine died going trew the ice with his snow mobile cause of a irresponsible ice fisher creating a huge hole no marking no cover it takes quite a while for the ice to reform to decent thikness Edit: to be fair to him though it is -47 so will freeze faster and he is present at the hole working
@ornolfurfr I don't believe you, that sounds like the type of stuff northenerns would make up to laugh at the tourists freezing their feet off trying out the "local customs"
@@lauracortes7720 snow is ice but little flakes of it thats why they call it snow flakes, when theyre packed together it becomes solid and is strong enough for an igloo but its concidered weak since you can stab a knife through it like butter and make it crumble really easily, if not tamped with its stable a good example is when ur walking on snow and it goes down the air pockets in between the snow flakes are being pushed out and the snow flakes are being pushed closer (that makes the nice snow sound)
@@lauracortes7720 The Inuit have many different names for different kinds of snow. The builders will stab a rod into the snow looking for a particular kind of hardness that results from some of the snow turning to ice. It is a certain firmness to the snow that they are looking for - not too soft, not too hard. With that they are assured of a solid igloo. If it will be used long term, then the floor is dug down below the sleeping and eating area, because the cold air will fill that lower section first, and leave the upper area warmer, up to 60 degrees or so.
The picture of the Igloo lit up and the Northern Lights as the background was the money shot! Sell it to National Geographic and travel mags and probably retire! Most gorgeous thing I have ever seen 💕
Saying I enjoyed this video doesn't give it justice. They say media is supposed to envoke emotion and this was an absolute masterpiece. Incredible work.
I am astounded by the ingenuity of a young mind. That build is incredible. I'm so glad this video randomly popped up in my TH-cam feed. So fun and interesting.
I'm saving this video. I don't know why, but I'm in tears. When it's all lit up and the backdrop was the aurora borealis, I just can't imagine anything more beautiful. Amazing work.
Those timelapse night shots are fantastic. Very impressive work - rather you than me, I would struggle in those temperatures so much more than you have!
My son and I built a small partial igloo here in snowy Houston, Texas yesterday - a once in five year opportunity for us and it will last maybe two days. Beautiful video
YOGOMAN: If you are ever interested in working with crews that build ice hotels each winter in AK, CA, & Scandinavia, I bet they would be glad to hire you! Thanks for making this video!
I dont know why this made me cry. Maybe seeing that some people still have the freedom to be in nature like this and build and enjoy temporary or traditional creative shelters. Maybe just the beauty of the illuminated ice house. Maybe the ingenuity and courage of humanity when it works with nature, not against it. Thanks for this beautiful video.❤❤❤
Awesome job! I watched the entire video with my mouth agape. The precision, determination, perseverance, skill… beautiful Mother Nature holding it all together for him. It’s just beautiful to watch! And he cooks too! This video deserves many more views!
Really just is so beautiful to see what a dedicated person can do! I mean this should be shared with motivational speeches. We really need to show so much more respect to what humans are capable of building if they just put the time and effort into it. Casue our ancestors had to do this stuff to survive. And 2000 years later we haven't lost the ability to build great things like this! It's so beautiful!
This is one of those coolest things I have ever watched. Tell the truth, it was all for your girl, wasn't it? Seriously, incredible job man, this was a great watch.
I love videos that are true to their caption, no click bait. He was so precise with cutting and laying the blocks! He is a truly artistic Ice mason. Its cool❄️ to see the timeline from him starting with a vision cleared out on the ice to him finishing the physical ice fortress! Those night time time lapses were so cool too!! Dude was flying around like lightning! This video is a testament to the success that comes from the dedication to see an idea through to the end. (And film it perfectly.) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Best outdoor diy shelter build ive ever seen 💯 ❄️✌️❄️
@@chriswelcome8102 I played it as something cool to play in the background thinking it'd just be another timelapse montage video but now that I see he's actually really cooking I'm like invested! He actually is putting this together himself. None of that fake youtube sponser nonsense. This guy's real!
@@Sunny_Dayethere are literally other channels similar with lower production value and millions of subscribers. Why do you stupid people always project and act like OTHERS are slow when it’s really you?
Nice.. not traditional, yet a nice, contemporary version, and perfect for testing durability and duration. “Ice Castles” IS ON!!! .. Thanks for sharing, Y-man.
I built a snow igloo with my late best friend when we were like 23 It was fairly large like 11 by 10 tf inside and five feet tall. We had lights. A door way , it was cozy. A nice little igloo dude that was a great videos thank you. Loved it. Great content. Worth the watch and brought back a great memory for me. Thank you again ! Jimmy the voice
Dude this is beyond impressive. You have a such a positive attitude and I don’t know if it’s something about your voice as you happily describe your process or the super cool chill music you used but I found this video so incredibly relaxing. Had you on in the background as I worked on puzzles in an effort to calm the brain down to go to bed and found myself falling asleep which is great but I really want to see how it turns out haha so I’m gonna let myself stay up to the end then probably just restart it and I know I’ll have no problem getting to sleep as it plays again. So thanks for that! hahahaha But once again this is seriously so impressive. 🧊 🧊 🧊 ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ⛄️ ⛄️ ⛄️
A labour of love. Definitely not an emergency shelter. You need carpeting in the hallways. Please be careful on the ice. Maybe pry the blocks free from the water, rather than stomping them free?
I’m so happy I know you TH-cam channel. I just decide to become a builder cause when I was like 16 or 17 I was watching your videos and I got inspired to build my own.
Holy shit, he built and actual igloo!!! Not a carved out mound of snow but this dude built an igloo!!! Today… today I am Happy, I just watched someone build an IGLOO! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! 🤩 It hurt to see her melt down, but the circle of life was worth it. Thank you for documenting this journey from the beginning to the bittersweet end, I am very very inspired by your drive and editing. 100/10 video will watch again
This was absolutely genius!!! 🔥🔥🔥 The design, attention to detail, engineer/architect, strength, focus, endurance, romance, and seems like a very peaceful moment! I definitely would take trip for that experience!!! Keep up the great work yogoman! 🔥🔥🔥😮💨💯❄️❄️🧊
Just found this channel and will watching them all from now plus your old ones as well, as loved your hard work on this one and the outcome was great, well done.. 👍😃🔥
I loved watching the stars float by in your timelapse.. Truly an enjoyable video to watch and i can imagine how much fun it was to build.. You are a cool dude... grats.
You're a genius, what a cool build, no pun intended, nice to see the wife & doggy join the party. Great video, quite different from the standard wilderness builds i watch regularly, i was fascinated from the start, thankyou for this, most enjoyable, ric, ontario canada, watching from the warmth of my wingback chair sipping hot coffee & looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.
Imagine walking out there in the middle of nowhere and coming upon this finished work of art.
..and making it bigger. 😁
I'd get cozy and pull my weed out.

its very fun to be barefoot in cold temperature, its done a lot in northern areas

@@dokchampa9324 oh no they found out
@ornolfurfr XD ❤
I'm from Florida, living in Indiana. Hell no I'm not goin barefoot outside even if its 60 degrees
The production value of this video should have it in the million views! Entire family enjoyed watching.
we watched it as a fam as well
Agree, should be in the couple of millions. I've seen 10 times worse with way more. Very undervalued video.
SAME!
It’ll exceed one million! 🎯 Amazing content!
entire family?
I am glad he specified ice igloo because regular igloos are actually made of very densely packed snow cause the air in the snow traps more heat.
how do they get the snow packed tight enough that it’s stable ?
@@lauracortes7720 snow is ice but little flakes of it thats why they call it snow flakes, when theyre packed together it becomes solid and is strong enough for an igloo but its concidered weak since you can stab a knife through it like butter and make it crumble really easily, if not tamped with its stable

Because it misses a longer story, something for us to be kept here. @yogoman best wishes, great work.❤
This is peak TH-cam. Just insanity. Loved it.
Amazing how this blew up 7 months later.. This popularity should've came way sooner, this video is amazing!
Alaskans are built different lol
Also, he looked like The Flash running around in the speed ups! Haha
Incredible video!!
Thanks! That was the perfect video to do some late night writing to.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :) You're the first person thats ever gifted a super. I really appreciate it!

Strive for his motivation. But please, surpass his intellect.
It's like he's never heard the saying "work smarter, not harder".
@@TheTechAdmin that's really not necessary to put it like that.
I am grown up. Would take me a long while to learn these skills, and I'm an outdoorsman
Wise choice
Saying I enjoyed this video doesn't give it justice. They say media is supposed to envoke emotion and this was an absolute masterpiece. Incredible work.
Igloos don't last forever, memories do 😌
I think this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen anyone do.
Curt: I like the saran wrap 'tent' suspended from 4 trees, too.
Dude spends a month prepping a date night for the miss, -40F weather, cutting ice cubes from a pond. Mad respect 🤘
Epic. I'm Canadian, so I know what -30 feels like... you're a beast to work in weather like that.
Was absolutely beautiful when you had it all lit up.
lol this year canadian winter is something else in my area
I agree. Although, building our homes here in Canada is pretty hard. My home igloo comes with Wifi. Tim Hortans is right next door!
@@andrew1717xx lol
Celsius?
@@IsabellaM-tk7fx its was -20 last week but it didnt snow
I am astounded by the ingenuity of a young mind. That build is incredible. I'm so glad this video randomly popped up in my TH-cam feed. So fun and interesting.
that timelapse with the headlight was so cool
Yeah, it's like he has turned himself into the flash
Truly impressive build. I can’t remember the last time I audibly cheered someone on in a TH-cam video
This is genuinely one of the coolest creations I’ve seen

It's strange in the same way you 'feel' the heat from a fire on the tv screen I 'felt' a chill from the ice
