When spring arrived, your house became a liquid asset.

this proves the fact that if a man sees another man building a big thing, you’re legally required to help

Definitely going to need to do a 2-bedroom igloo with a full kitchen and custom countertops. And of course, a full bathroom.

I just wanted to share my admiration for how you BRAVELY transversed the harsh Canadian landscape to forge a fresh start in your tiny igloo home. Its brave men and women like you that propel society forward! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 😉

Love the Canadian sense of humour - "-15c is too warm for these winter clothes" The Australian equivalent would be "43c is not hot enough to turn the aircon on." Nice house.

As a Canadian living in the UK for many years you have taken me back to my childhood in the 50s when we used to build igloos in our back yard. Though I hasten to add no woodburner or flatscreen lolol. Well done love it. Xxx

3 things: 1) Any Canadian who's ever shoveled snow would tell you -15 C is too warm to be wearing a bunch of winter gear; and 2) An igloo's entrance is typically met with a drop in elevation at the entrance (think a small pit) which catches cool air and provides shelter from wind, and must contain an elevated area inside that gets you near the roof where the warmer air is (fun fact, your body is what heats up an igloo); 3) Your body heat will naturally cause the inside to form an ice layer wich will seal the gaps naturally, no need for a slush mortar. Anyway hope this helps. (Of course I know this isn't a long term structure, whereas my tips 2 & 3 are most practical in a long term structure)

A house is not a home without a framed picture of wayne gretzky over every entrance. Glad to see you still respect the old ways even in your new home.

This deserves more views. You have a gift and a work ethic most will never have

Off-Grid living never looked so good. Throw a hot tub in there and I'd say you have the perfect build.

Absolutely enjoyed watching it with my grandson!!❤

Great job! This is what life is about... HAVING FUN with what you have. If life gives you snow, you don't complain, just build an igloo. Being a creative person guarantees that there is never a dull moment in your life --> my motto.

nice build dude! just moved to texas from northern IL, so I'm missing it pretty bad. Thanks for satisfying my 2 AM fiending for ice lol

1:08 LHS looks like a snow puppy in the tree branch & RHS a seal just chillin. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing 💚 🌍

I love this. You basically just lived one of my childhood dreams. Fort in the woods made from sticks was my number 1 childhood dream. They never turned out well even though I tried to build them all the time.

As an eskimo, I approve of this luxury igloo build. Also jealous. Good job!

I would never leave this place and the world would just forget my existence 😍

So cool. The ice window and tabletop are really nice touches.

This igloo is so beautiful it's like a real house due to the special touch

You could get it hotter in there if you dug the entryway lower and not as short. A lot of warm air escapes if your entry is too short

We are making an igloo tomorrow and we’re watching some clips to get some ideas. Absolutely awesome. Thank you for this. We have a German and Italian students living with us and they have never done things like this before. We are pumped to give it a go tomorrow. Thanks again. Brilliant video. And igloo design. 😊

As a Saudi, I have never seen snow in my life. I lived in the sands of the Empty Quarter, and the temperature was 52 degrees Celsius, so thank God for the blessing...

I live in central New York east of Syracuse, in the hills, just south of the Adirondacks. My son built an igloo in our large side yard one winter. He and a friend played in it, no heat source, but dug in-the snow enough to put in sleeping bags, a tarp base and blankets under sleeping bags. I was up all night worrying, but they slept in and had a great time!

Hey Drew, loved your story on CTV and just watched the video, I am going to share your video with my grade 12 transportation tech class to keep the awesomeness of life. Take care dude. Loved it.

Love the build, and the humour, and the viewers not getting the humour :) much respect for the huge physical effort

Was like watching an Eskimo home make over! Very cool!

In Scandinavia, they spread a layer of evergreen boughs on the floor and lay a carpet over that, then build a small entranceway out of wood with a peaked roof and a little door. The latter is saved from year to year.

Awesome and hilarious your neighbor must be chill and not jerks lucky u

Hey Drew! So funny, I also made a video about building an igloo to spend the night in a few weeks ago. Your’s was definitely fancier than mine. Good job on the extra touches 😉

Unfulfilled childhood dream of mine. Way to make it happen!

Thank a lot 🎉 My daughter Watched your Video. She was so happy.

It's so awesome to see people getting out of the suburbs and testing their mettle in the barren Canadian wilderness. Mad props to you, Drew.

Your different Drew! These are some crazy builds!!

Lol, add an inlaw suite or make it a 2 Bedroom 2 Bath!! That is awesome, I love your stuff!! And your sense of humor cracks me up

gotta love those off-the-grid 4k resolution tv channels.

This was absolutely a one of a kind video! I loved it! Now you need a bathtub, fish bowl or aquarium and a refrigerator! 😆 Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic video! You really did a fantastic job!💥❤❄☃️

You make me feel like a kid again! ♥ Amazing Canadian content 🍁

I would add a fur type curtain on the door to keep air as warm as possilble. Thank you for the video!

Guys coming to help was such a wholesome moment.❤

Had me at the sarcasm about the power not coming from the house next door. WP sir

This is the first video I've seen on this channel. Drew's attitude is refreshing. His comedic little quips are brilliant. I've jst subbed. Looking forward to chewing my way thru his catalogue of vids. Hi from Edinburgh, Scotland 👍🏽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏽

I’m an eskimo and I can confirm we all have a TV, ice tables, fireplaces, lamps, and a couch

Lolll with the TV! At least it keeps the beer cold. Nice job man! In the 70s when I was a kid my dad build one and he even slept in it. I'm Canadian as well.

After the pic of the GREAT ONE, nothing else is needed! Love your videos and your builds, your a genius!

built an igloo as a kid. it was pretty sturdy and warm inside without heating. it only lasted a few days because a neighborhood kid decided it would be fun to jump on it :/ never really had enough snow on the ground or the time since.

As an avid snow friend myself, I really enjoyed watching this!! Good job! This definitely inspires me for future builds... And question.. are you taking visitors? I work in Millbank, so not too far away from what I understand...

Honestly i been saying this before covid that ppl need to take their power back not for themselves but for the generations to come. Grow your own food source your own heat and water. This society has created consumers now adays instead of builders. We need more inspiration and creation in building for a better future. ❤❤❤ I support anyone whos opting for offgrid and self sustainability❤❤❤❤❤🙏

This man done cleaned his living room out and brought everything to the igloo I’m dead 😂😂😂

Drew - I've looked at a couple of your videos and gotta say you are extremely creative as well as terrific at making your videos interesting... NICE JOB!

Awe even cute babies helped with the build, great home 😊👍

I love the totally Off-Grid Igloo❤

12:47 Great interior decorating!

Just watched your story on the London news. Great video and sense of humour. Well done.

Wow! What an imagination! Your igloo is amazing and I love your sense of humor! ❤️

the kids helping were so cute.

Love the serious narration with a totally non-serious build the dichotomy. This was absolutely hilarious, love it.

This deserves way more views

Nice work! Ended up on your channel because facebook showed me your stone sink video. I thought the mansion was going to be way bigger until I seen the size of the oven.

This is one of the coolest things I've watched in a long time.

The window is so neat!!! It looks like a 5star hotel. Damn!! Pure talent!

i don’t know how this video didn’t get at least 1 mil views this is so cool

wow, very beautifully built!! May I know if the wood stove will eventually melt the igloo?

This was awesome. I chuckled when I saw the TV on the ice table

I just subscribed today. This is a great, fun, video. Every Canadian should spend a night outdoors in the Winter.

I think a hot tub inside the igloo would be nice! You did a nice job!

Awesome. A giant snow pizza oven. Loving your videos. Keep it up!

I LOL’d at the flat screen! And of course a toasty 0 degrees was plenty warm!

I think it turned out beautifully.

Hi Drew, after CTV now watching your video on your channel. So cool, and GREAT seeing the Pizza oven again. Good for many more pizzas in the summer! I wonder if your parents' realty taxes will go up much with the addition of this major property improvement? cheers

bro i cant believe you only have 10.6k subscribers. all of your videos are incredible. consistency will make this channel grow incredibly. thanks for the content!

Wow - that's what I call a lesson in idealism! 👍

I think you should definitely Air B&B this all winter until it melts!

You deserve 100 million subscribers 🔥🔥

Brilliant. Loved it ! Looks great inside, very inviting 😀

Here's my recommendation/suggestion: Build an igloo that's off-grid.

Just BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Love it! I used to build igloo's in North Idaho and found it much easier to mark out a big circle in the snow then pile all the surrounding snow on top and pack it solid as you go. Before you know it you have a solid dome that you can then dig out into an igloo (even if you have to wheelbarrow in some extra materials from the neighbors yard;) ❄️

Wow, you're really went to a wild! Jokes aside, your igloo is super cool, and love your sense of humour

Love the Canadian humor and very cool igloo! Thanks for entertaining me!🙏💕😁🇨🇦

Классный снежный дом!

Dude, that’s so damn amazing. Love it

Tiny recommendation... mention the temperature units when you give the stats. When you said 3 degrees inside with a fire, I was wondering why your igloo is so much colder than my 34 degree-interior igloo. I scrolled back and confirmed the tiny "C" on your digital thermometer. Great build. I've been living in my powder-built igloo the last week (we don't have the luxury of snow blocks here)

It turned out beautifully.❤❤❤❤❤❤

I think the most insane thing I can think of to go in your new igloo home is a hot tub! Also, I really enjoy watching you create all kinds of things. It reminds me of someone I know from Genesis 1. We were created in His image and you really prove the Bible with your many talents! God Bless you! 😃

Great job. But I really liked it a lot more before the TV. Should have tossed the candle holder and made one of snow! Made the tv out of snow! And built a little door or use a snow cube so you don’t lose your heat. You can thatch one too. Must have been fun to build-enjoy your creation 💕👍🏽

Amazing job!

I can just see the HOA having a collective gasp. A couple of pointers from when we did it (on a much smaller scale) under the supervision of a guy from Ungava: if you build a spiral (so you start with thin, but slightly angled bricks of snow) then the compressive forces as the snow settles will actually reinforce the iglou. Build a platform (of snow if you don't want to do earthmoving) off the ground to get the living quarters closer to the roof where it's warmer. And have a long (at least 3 metres) tunnel to get in, that should ideally be below ground, in order to stop heat escaping out the doorway. Final advice: get yourself a loved one to share it with you, body heat will bring that internal temperature up past 3º.

"Nur wer seinen Traum lebt weiß, dass Träume Wirklichkeit werden können". Michael Hemp DANKE!!!

U also need a thick sheep skin or rain deer skin to cover the door . One inside and one outside

lol, just amazing how comfy that igloo looks!

Oh man! This was majestic!!!❤🙏🏼

Your igloo is absoloutely beautiful، well done 👏👏👏

Wouldn’t the heat from the lil shove top melt the inside over time ?

Really wanting to do this but my son is turning 13 so I still got a few more years till I can fully go off the grid. Some say we'll just take him with you that's a great idea an all but I'm not sure he's gonna like it right away an I don't wanna force him cus then he'll end up not liking doing that anymore.

That child came to help so cute 😍

This is something like from Jules Verne's "The Adventures of Captain Hatteras" where they build a cozy snow-house to spend a winter in arctic (inspired by famous Ice Palace built in 1740 in St. Petersburg).

Awesome to see you getting recognition. I hope your channel grows.

So extremely cozy

I love your sense of humour.

Shoutout to the very first humans that figured out how to build igloos
