hello there everybody welcome to Russia welcome to the cold north if you're interested in survival snow shelters then keep watching I'm gonna make a miniseries here three four parts of different types of snow shelters and today we're gonna start with the single man snow shelter in about 50 60 centimeters of snow so stay tuned to make an efficient snowshoes that you'll of course need some tools and it's highly highly unlikely that you will be out in this environment without any tools or they should drop from sky or something and some of the most important tools is your snowshoes or your skis but the first thing you've got to do here is to pack down an area with just no shoes then it's gonna look something like this so now that we have compressed the area here we have to dig a trench not here but out there so now you can see we have dug a trench here and we're taking all the snow to one side but much depend on the condition of the snow you know snow is not just snow I think that it's like 36 or 47 different types of snow well now you take your knife shovel saw you should definitely have a saw you out here in the middle of the winter and then you start to dig in under the snow here but you should not get thick this cave here to size of the of yourself to do that later now comes a time when you have to get your salt because here you should definitely have it so on you unless again you fall out of the sky but if you don't have a saw go on Cara sapling and make it thin and chop out the plates with that oh you'd use your skis and shove out the plates use your tail of the snowshoe but good tools is like save you 50% a lot of time anyway you know but hang on and because we're almost done but there's a few tricks to this Hilda it doesn't put some plates here cut the ceiling so to speak a little bit more and gradually dig ourselves in down in the corner put another plate dig more in so this place will actually support the ceiling here a little bit so now we're almost done and we filled in a another set of blocks and then we backfill it with no

and the pressure from the snow you fill in here will help to carry this thin plate if the snow is really tight and packed you don't need to make this blocks and you just fill in the dig in the cave and feeling the trench here gradually no problem hello guys so we're done with the simple not super comfy one-man shelter like a good quite a long way in here versus a stir stick there just take some snow you can start and take it up to the top now of course can excuse me the cat now you'll cause to start in shape see also in here a little bit but it's a is feelable warmer than outside outside us about - twins so not a bad little shelter at all but the next shelter is gonna be much more comfortable and a lot more possibilities this shelter I would have caused line the bottom with my wool blanket and just wrap myself up in a plaster latke or something like this and yeah you can rest there for 2 3 4 5 hours you might even be able to make a little fire fatwood and this and that but it's quite cozy and there's the paradol take a look and now it's also a very good time to eat the like button and subscribe to channel and cold like me and Facebook and so on and see you next time here in the cold north

The Survival Russia Channel is about "The Reality Of Survival". I live on a Homestead in far away Russian wild nature and here are no room for "TV" Survival. Only Reality counts here. Survival Russia promotes the philosophy of always carrying equipment and never to be parted from equipment which will affect chances of Survival. So did the old timers and pioneers of both the East and the West.
