DaveH Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Anybody out there used one of these contraptions? Are they any good and do you need to be descended from Einstein to drive the thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soggyendo34 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 i admit i was involved with an attempt at making one of these work. NOT WORTH THE TIME. We spent hours building the igloo and couldnt get the top of the igloo to work. It would be cool if it was easier and you were making one for your kids or something. Use a tent.

chris_w Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I used one a couple of years ago and it worked ok. It took about 4 hours for 3 of us to make a 3 person igloo. It was in the spring at stevens pass and the snow was pretty wet so it stuck together good. The 3 of us slept in it and didn't hear a sound all night when a storm came in. The people in the tents didn't sleep all that well. I think it would be hard to build in powder snow and take longer. For the price $150+ I think a would rather build a snow cave. No extra gear to bring and less chance of majorly screwing something up. Now if I was in the plains with no hills to dig into for a snowcave or not very deep snow, I think It would be more practical.
