snow shelter tips

Thu, Dec 11, 2008

Came across this Ray Mears video on building a snow cave. He makes it look easy with a saw. However, chances of carrying a saw as an ML are zero, although there are some folding ones around, though not very big, like this one. I did pick up some more tips from the video though, especially the bit about the cold air sink to allow the colder air to sink to the bottom of the hole while you sleep above it on platforms.
