Foreign  thank you  foreign  foreign  foreign.

Foreign  as I cut away the sides every so often the snow will settle and just go it's a nice little noise and scares the bajeebies out of me all right thank you foreign.

Foreign foreign this is a pretty cozy little shelter I'll tell you what that is a beautiful view oh I've got room to sit down cook sleep this is perfect and it only took me four hours to make this thing which is a lot less time than some of my other snow.

Shelters foreign oh this smells so good a beautiful chicken mango Curry oh that was good foreign  foreign check for leaks and put the hot water.

Bottle at my sleeping bag get all nice and toasty I'll tell you what this is just one of the best snow shelters I've ever made there's a couple key features that are really important to keeping you warm first off you don't want your sleeping area to be the lowest point in the shelter the cold air tends to collect the bottom another thing is you.

Want to make sure your snow shelter has lots of Corners you don't want to allow the wind to blow straight into your snow shelter additionally when you do have a corner make a little extra room so that the wind comes down it goes past the door instead of being funneled into the door likewise on this end I've got two.

Entrances so that if the Wind Blows crosswise the wind continues through the shelter instead of getting funneled down into the shelter but I'm gonna get a chance to really test this shelter out it's supposed to be a pretty good snowstorm tonight we'll see what happens looks like I had some sit on my face the snow here is really soft hopefully.

It'll freeze really good tonight then my stairs won't fall apart the type of quality of the snow really affects how much energy it takes to build one of these shelters this was really easy stuff to work with so things went really fast I moved a lot of snow in just four hours the inside of this shelter is about five feet wide and the roof is a.

Little bit over six feet tall so the very back of the shelter to the mouth is 11 feet I had to move about 230 cubic feet of snow to excavate this part of the shelter so at the bottom of the entrance to the top of the snow berm it's a little over 10 feet deep but the original surface of the snow was about eight eight and a half feet deep the.

Distance from here at the top of the stairs to the back of that wall is about 17 feet plus there's this little bit I excavated right here so my rough estimate is that I had to move about 423 cubic feet of snow to build this shelter a little over 15 and a half cubic yards that's the Max capacity of a commercial dump truck I earned my hot chocolate.

Tonight well it is getting late and it's getting cold got some peanuts for a bedtime snack foreign go ahead and eat some peanuts and listen to an audiobook and go to bed but tomorrow I'm going to do something interesting I want to see what it takes.

To make this tunnel collapse I know a lot of people wondered whether or not these snow caves will fall down on you and honestly I don't know we'll test that out tomorrow oh good morning oh I'm nice and warm oh yeah get up make some breakfast oh.

Oh look at this got a lot of snow last night oh yeah that's got to be at least a foot consequently the roof is sagged a little bit it's about an inch or two shorter I'm having to hunch over a lot more than I did last night snow caves will actually do that they'll sag quite a bit over time if you're going to use them.

For more than one day often you have to re-dig out the roof if you're a bit claustrophobic you can make it hard to sleep at night knowing that the roof is slowly sagging over your face all right let's see if I get my pants on oh my pants are frozen  steel cut oatmeal and sliced spam for.

Breakfast  all right the steel cut oatmeal is so good got some butter in there brown sugar raisins a little hot spam to go with it um that's not bad at all all right why don't we clean this place up and then.

We're gonna go explore outside we got a lot of snow out there all right let's go see what it's like outside thank you so proper little snowstorm up here it is really snowing all of this fresh snow is going to make the Avalanche danger go through the roof luckily we're not in.

Any Avalanche zone so we'll be okay above the ceiling right here the snow's pretty thick but yesterday I could see light shining through in that corner of the cave which means there's less than two feet of snow between the ceiling and the surface of the snow you can kind of see what I mean right here there's this blue color that's light shining through.

The snow right here you can see that's about two feet of snow so I'm really curious to see whether this roof can stand up to 200 pounds of meat jumping up and down on it whatever I couldn't feel any movement yeah I mean it looks perfectly fine from here well this one hasn't collapsed yet.

But all snow caves collapse eventually all right I think it's time to get out of here oh look how deep this snow is even with my snowshoes it's going up to my kneecap it's probably two and a half feet of fresh snow since yesterday I got a sneaky suspicion that my car might be very stuck when I find it.

I think I got some digging to do yeah we got a good solid two feet of snow I've got about a hundred yards of unplowed road to go ah it's gonna be tricky oh we've got absolutely no visibility don't need visibility unless we can drive somewhere.

Foreign I got like 75 feet with that let's dig it out and try it again   so I take my snowshoes and beat a path to the plowed Road oh that's a long way to go foreign.

I was giving it a bunch of throttle and it just popped on me and I kind of smelled this burning smell and now only two of the wheels are spinning I think I boogered up the all-wheel drive got a gentleman in a big 4x4 pickup who might be able to help get me out  that's pretty sick.

Oh I'm about to go for a ride oh we're doing it all right man thank you hey you too that pickup truck was a monster if it wasn't for that I would have been here for a long time yeah it does doesn't it Oh Betsy not good well guys I made it.
