06:02so
06:03Let's go.
06:40There we go.
07:14Let's go.
07:33Let's go.
08:05This is a pretty cozy little shelter.
08:19I'll tell you what, that is a beautiful view.
08:29I've got room to sit down, cook, sleep, and this is perfect.
08:33And it only took me four hours to make this thing, which is a lot less time than some of
08:37my other snow shelters.
08:39Let's go.
08:40Let's go.
08:40Let's go.
09:09Oh, this smells so good.
09:14Let's go.
09:41A beautiful chicken mango curry.
09:58Oh, that was good.
10:00Let's go.
10:06Let's go.
10:13Let's go.
10:23Let's go.
10:24Let's go.
10:25Let's go.
10:30Let's go.
10:42Let's go.
11:07Check for leaks and put the hot water bottle in my sleeping bag.
11:11Get all nice and toasty.
11:13I'll tell you what, this is just one of the best snow shelters I've ever made.
11:17There's a couple key features that are really important to keeping you warm.
11:20First off, you don't want your sleeping area to be the lowest point in the shelter.
11:24The cold air tends to collect at the bottom.
11:27Another thing is you want to make sure your snow shelter has lots of corners.
11:31You don't want to allow the wind to blow straight into your snow shelter.
11:35Additionally, when you do have a corner, make a little extra room.
11:39So when the wind comes down, it goes past the door instead of being funneled into the door.
11:47Likewise, on this end, I've got two entrances so that if the wind blows crosswise,
11:52the wind continues through the shelter instead of getting funneled down into the shelter.
11:56But I'm going to get a chance to really test the shelter out.
11:59It's supposed to be a pretty good snowstorm tonight.
12:01We'll see what happens.
12:04Looks like I had some shit on my face.
12:06The snow here is really soft.
12:09Hopefully, it'll freeze really good tonight.
12:11Then my stairs won't fall apart.
12:14The type and quality of the snow really affects how much energy it takes to build one of these shelters.
12:19This was really easy stuff to work with, so things went really fast.
12:23I moved a lot of snow in just four hours.
12:26The inside of this shelter is about five feet wide, and the roof is a little bit over six feet
12:31tall.
12:31So the very back of the shelter to the mouth is 11 feet.
12:35I had to move about 230 cubic feet of snow to excavate this part of the shelter.
12:40So at the bottom of the entrance to the top of the snow berm, it's a little over ten feet
12:45deep.
12:45But the original surface of the snow was about eight, eight and a half feet deep.
12:49The distance from here at the top of the stairs to the back of that wall is about 17 feet.
12:55Plus, there's this little bit I excavated right here.
12:57So my rough estimate is that I had to move about 423 cubic feet of snow to build this shelter.
13:03A little over 15 and a half cubic yards.
13:06That's the max capacity of a commercial dump truck.
13:09I earned my hot chocolate tonight.
13:17Well, it is getting late and it's getting cold.
13:20Got some peanuts for a bedtime snack.
13:30Well, it's getting late so I'm going to go ahead and eat some peanuts and listen to an audiobook and
13:34go to bed.
13:35But tomorrow I'm going to do something interesting.
13:37I'm going to see what it takes to make this tunnel collapse.
13:41I know a lot of people have wondered whether or not these snow caves will fall down on you.
13:45And honestly, I don't know. We'll test that out tomorrow.
13:49Oh, good morning.
13:51Oh, I'm nice and warm.
13:52I gotta get up and make some breakfast.
13:59Oh, look at this.
14:02Got a lot of snow last night.
14:06Oh yeah, that's got to be at least a foot.
14:08Consequently, the roof has sagged a little bit.
14:11It's about an inch or two shorter.
14:13I'm having to hunch over a lot more than I did last night.
14:16Snow caves will actually do that.
14:18They'll sag quite a bit over time.
14:20If you're going to use them for more than one day, often you have to re-dig out the roof.
14:24If you're a bit claustrophobic, you can make it hard to sleep at night knowing that the roof is slowly
14:29sagging over your face.
14:31All right, let's see if I can get my pants on.
14:34Oh, my pants are frozen.
14:53Steel-cut oatmeal and sliced spam for breakfast.
15:10All right, this steel-cut oatmeal is so good.
15:13Got some butter in there, brown sugar, raisins, a little hot spam to go with it.
15:26It's not bad at all.
15:27All right, well, I'm going to clean this place up and then we're going to go explore outside.
15:30We've got a lot of snow out there.
15:42All right, let's go see what it's like outside.
15:55It's a proper little snowstorm up here.
15:58It is really snowing.
16:00All of this fresh snow is going to make the avalanche danger go through the roof.
16:04Luckily, we're not in any avalanche zone, so we'll be okay.
16:07Above the ceiling right here, the snow's pretty thick, but yesterday I could see light shining through in that corner
16:13of the cave,
16:13which means there's less than two feet of snow between the ceiling and the surface of the snow.
16:17You can kind of see what I mean right here. There's this blue color.
16:20That's light shining through the snow right here.
16:23You can see that's about two feet of snow.
16:25So I'm really curious to see whether this roof can stand up to 200 pounds of me jumping up and
16:29down on it.
16:49I couldn't feel any movement.
16:55Yeah, it looks perfectly fine from here.
16:57Well, this one hasn't collapsed yet, but all snow caves collapse eventually.
17:02All right, I think it's time to get out of here.
17:09Oh, look how deep this snow is.
17:11Even with my snowshoes, it's going up to my kneecap.
17:14It's probably two and a half feet of fresh snow since yesterday.
17:17I got a sneaky suspicion that my car might be very stuck when I find it.
17:31I think I got some digging to do.
17:51Yeah, we got a good solid two feet of snow.
17:54I've got about a hundred yards of unplowed road to go.
17:59It's going to be tricky.
18:12We've got absolutely no visibility.
18:15Don't need visibility unless we can drive somewhere.
18:30Hey, not bad.
18:32I got like 75 feet with that.
18:35Let's dig it out and try it again.
18:45More power!
18:50More power!
18:57Maximum power!
19:12So I'm going to take my snowshoes and beat a path to the plowed road.
19:19Oh, that's a long way to go.
19:35I was giving it a bunch of throttle and it just popped on me.
19:38And I kind of smelled this burning smell.
19:40And now only two of the wheels are spinning.
19:42I think I boogered up the all wheel drive.
19:44I've got a gentleman in a big 4x4 pickup who might be able to help get me out.
19:51That's pretty sick.
19:55Oh, I'm about to go for a ride.
19:59Oh, we're doing it.
20:14That pickup truck was a monster.
20:16If it wasn't for that, I would have been here for a long time.
20:22Oh, it is nasty.
20:33I'm so glad you're home and safe.
20:35I was afraid of us.
20:37Yeah.
20:37Look at the car.
20:38It's smoking.
20:39Yeah.
20:39The car looks cleaner.
20:41Yeah, it does.
20:41Doesn't it?
20:43Oh, Betsy done good.
