Building a Snow Shelter in Winter Forest | Outdoor cooking | Quinzee
14,058Severe frosts made adjustments to my bushcrafting routine.
Being in the forest at -25'C and at the same time doing bushcraft and recording video... is not my level. It is more like extreme winter survival.
So I had to wait for more acceptable weather conditions to stay longer in the fresh air.
Before the trip, I looked at the map and chose the place where I would go. Having found a suitable site for construction, I outlined approximate guidelines. At the chosen location there was a large swamp, so there was plenty of space without bushes and trees. Since this winter is quite generous in snow, there was plenty of material for construction. In some places I fell into the snow to the waist, and even to the chest.
I had a choice of which snow shelter to build. Igloo or Quinzee? Since I have neither the experience in building, I settled on a simpler option. In addition, I already delayed with the release of a new video due to January frosts. Therefore, it was impermissible to make mistakes.
Armed with shovels and everything I need, my new adventure begins.
There was a lot of snow .... A lot. A LOT OF SNOW.
I fastened a small shovel on a backpack, but carrying a big Fiskars shovel in my hands in the deep snow was hard.. A little bit later I wrapped a paracord around my waist, tied the other end to the handle of a shovel and draged it behind me.
I had Asian food for lunch. I decided to cook camping style Korean funchose. I didn’t bring soy sauce. I thought that pickled chicken breast in soy sauce with garlic would give the dish enough salt. But I was wrong. Although on the other hand, the path is not so short, and I had a minimum of water supply. Therefore, thirst for me is useless.
The process of building a shelter took a lot of energy, but it was extremely informative in terms of gaining new experience, and certainly it was fun! Now I have an idea of ??how you feel while spending time in a snow cave. I think one day I’ll shoot a video overnighter in a quinzee.
