  • Powerful atmospheric river winter storm drops another 20 inches of snow on my snow cave shelter. In this video, I hike around the Sierra Nevada, dig a bushcraft shelter, and camp for a night of wild weather.

      Snow is a really good insulator and even without the fire, he would have been pretty warm. I haven't stayed in this deep of snow, but it is pretty warm even in a shelter with a foot of snow.

      @Traveler's Tale it's good you have an avalanche beacon, but keep in mind, rescuers need to be within 300 feet or less from your position. If they can't find your possible position to begin with, they might never get within beacon receiving range.

    You sleeping in that hole with snow all around you, was the craziest thing I have ever seen anyone do. If one part of that snow wall had fallen (especially after the fire heat) you would have been buried alive, not to mention the snow coming in all night long. Please be careful. Also put a red flag up so if anyone came by they would know you were there and would not fall in.

      Fully agree with you. Very stupid thing to do really. Your own safety should be of paramount importance, moreso being on your own. Also your camp stove was too close to your fire. Think it out before you do things please. Take care

      The fire actually strengthens it. It lets the innermost layer melt, and as it homogenizes with the bitter cold temperatures above, it results in a progressively thicker layer of ice.

    EPIC CONTENT MAN! Just found your channel subbed and ill be watching more! Just from this video i see a guy that loves nature and adventure. I think we would get along great! If your ever in idaho give me a holler!
    Its sad to see how many people have no idea about bush craft skills and servival shelter builds. We have really lost touch with our roots and what it used to take to servive. If the world goes to shit, its men like him and me that will thrive while others wonder when grocery stores will have food again or when the power will come back on. We are so used to every thing being provided. I personally prefer to live outdoors and am working on putting things in place so i can do just that.
    That being said get out doors and build your primitive skills. You may never need them but they may save your life one day. Its like having car insurance you may never need it but one day youll be glad you do!

    Great job doing something I hadn't seen yet. Digging out and sleeping under the snow pack. It made me claustrophobic as hell a couple scenes, like when you just finished and hit bottom and look around and it's 4 straight walls going up 7 or 8 feet. Looked like a snowy grave!. But you have a great attitude which I really enjoy so I pressed on. Then, I wondered if someone could by passing by up top and just fall in! If you do this again maybe put up a flag or pole or something? Anyways, keep up the great work on all your adventures.

      Yes. I was so worried about that too. Last summer 2 teenagers did the same thing with sand near the water. It was not as deep as yours. They did not light a fire but it was not that far from the water. I think the waves might have caused vibrations which caused the collapse . Many people including their parents immediately tried to dig them out. It was not in time. They both suffocated and died. Please, please be careful. The new IPhone has the capability of using satellite for emergency phone calls. If not for yourself, do it for your parents.
