I’ve only once built a reasonable igloo in the manner depicted in the video. It requires dry snow having a consistency a bit like styrofoam. Snow caves in a big snowdrift or under the branches of a large snow covered fir tree are much more likely to be practical shelters. (Be careful not to warm up the cave under snow covered branches too much or the roof of you cave can collapse and melt. I live in Texas now so there isn’t as much opportunity to make use of these skills. Buffalo, on the other hand had plenty of snow.
