    Can't this thing potentially colapse on you? Maybe you will die without it. Hummmm. This is Mrs. Ace X, in Florida. I am not expecting snow this year. Nate, I thought that you were against doing shorts.???

    How many people lost on skiing trip carry a spade with them? Also, digging or shuffling snow is b***dy hard work, so you also have to consider conserving energy and avoiding at all costs of becoming sweaty while still conserving body heat. Wearing several pairs of woolly mittens and hoping the melting snow (warmth from hands) wouldn't soak through all of them was all we had when we were kids but there is no justification for wearing them at least without water and windproof outer layer in this day and age! lDamp clothes are the quickest way to get hypothermia.

    Consider also that not all snow will pack, making a tunnel like in the video impossible without it collapsing and suffocating you. You can still dig a hole and create a bank of snow around you, if not above you to keep aay from wind.

    Make something to alert for potential rescuers to them your cave might just look like a part of the landscape, particularly if a new layer of snow covers your tracks and signs of your activity. Wrap around brightly coloured, strong tape that you can use to fix or tie things in emergency on a stick next to your hole or a branch closet to you would be ideal (it should be a part of your pocket emergency kit that only gets removed to update it's content) otherwise you must try to make as much an artificial, looking structure as possible (if you have skis and sticks put them upright.)
    Eating snow is a bad idea but if that's all you have try packing a small amount of snow before putting it in your mouth and hold it there as long as you can before swallowing it bit by bit – you don't want icy cold water cooling you from the inside as well.

    You could probably get a nice room in a motel for $500 you spend on the clothes da

    Funny how in Canada we have tons of snow but the homeless prefer to sleep under a bridge instead of making one of these survival shelters in winter.🙄

    I live in Vermont. Cold, snowy winters, and my dad always told us kids that we could survive by doing this. He even showed us what to do! If we ever got lost in the woods I know I would be ok!!

    You want the quinzee as big as possible, you want the opening as small as comfortable. More insulation the better. Foot thick walls or more is ideal

    Yeah I went into winter survival course had a choice of three different shelters everybody and all three froze their ass off but we all woke up in the morning. And nobody slept

    ??? you bring a huge shovel like that into the woods everywhere you go? LOL, why don't you just bring a backpack with a tent and fuel for a fire?

    The wall has to be far enough away from your body that it doesn't draw the heat from you. Only in a lot of wind and lack of time would I get in a small igloo. .
