Hello All,
I have been in the French Alps for the last couple of months. I have made a few quinzhees and trenches and slept in them. But as a variation, I would like to make an igloo.
I know they are made from blocks of compressed snow. But that sort of snow is not around here. Maybe on the Massif Central plateau, which is open and wind swept.
Compressing the snow with snowshoes does not get good results.
I am going to make one using a tub or box as a brick mold.
Just want to ask if anyone has done it this way and any tips? Brick/mold size etc.
Cheers.
