Igloo
Properly constructed, this poor man’s igloo can be body-heated to above freezing on a 20-below day, higher if you light a candle.
1. Build up snow to a depth of at least 8 inches and pack it down to make a floor.
2..Heap loose snow onto the floor. Piling the snow over a backpack or mound of branches will let you create a hollow, which hastenns the exccavation process, but it isn’t necessary. Let the snow consollidate for an hour or more, until it is set up hard enough to form snowballs.
3.. Tunnel through the mound at opposite ends to dig out the center efficiently, fill in the unused entrance, and crawl inside to shape the interior. Ideally, the quintze should be narrow at the foot end, with a bed long enough to lie down on, and just tall enough at the head end for you to sit up. The walls and roof need to be at least a foot thick (check this with a stick).
4.. Poke out an air vent overhead and dig a well at the entrance for the cold air to settle into. Cut a snow block for a door.
5. Glaze interior walls with a candle to prevent dripping.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
