To get going on the igloo, we first went off-road to find some thick snow. Using our made-in-Nova-Scotia Grohmann snow knife , we cut away some “freshies” – huge blocks that we transported back home. So then we just had to start stacking them up and wetting them to fill the gaps. Three-quarters of the way through, our lack of igloo experience begin to be painfully obvious as we realized that may have stacked the blocks a little too high, and without enough of an angle. We were going to have to find another way of building a roof. As an alternative, we decided to find boughs big enough to tie together like a teepee to finish it off.
