Dr.Hess Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 An hour and a half for the two to make that. That's pretty impressive. They certainly know what they are doing. I recall reading somewhere that they have something like 22 different words for "snow." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted February 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 22 words huh? I was impressed that they'd build one every time they made their frequent moves. They didn't make a tunnel entrance. I thought the inside was elevated to hold in heat, but they actually went downward into the snow inside. Reminds me of trying to make the very best snow forts when I was a kid in S.D. I made a tunnel to get in, and put shields on the outside made of snow from the snowplows. Mom didn't like that I took cans of water outside to make it even more hardened. The big kids walking home from high school were brutal if I started a snowball fight!

Dr.Hess Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 That one was supposed to be a temporary shelter, according to the narrator. 40 minutes for 1 man to make a smaller one for camping was quite impressive. Hard to set up a conventional tent/campground in 40 minutes. I found a vid of Nanook of the North some time ago. I don't think I would care to live like that, but, people surviving for eons in that kind of environment, and the exact opposite desert environments, tells you how resilient we are.
