Experimenting with building a rocket stove out of snow 🔥

[XOPOIIIO]

Making a stove out of snow is an ultimate survival skill.

[towpathguitars]

Next experiment will be starting with a 5 gallon bucket of water frozen and drill out the holes.

That honestly worked a lot better than I expected.

EDIT: I already knew that it absolutely would work, it just exceeded my expectations.

Fun fact, the reason this works is also why igloos are a thing, Snow and ice are pretty good insulators So if you need a location, that's much warmer than the outside air. If you have a bunch of snow, that's a pretty good starting point. Now if you want your structure to stay intact, you're not getting it about above 0° c but seeing as that is substantially warmer than -30° c and you don't have any wind in this close to 0° c location. That's generally a massive improvement with relatively speaking. Not much effort

Normal kids: builds snowmen ⛄️

Survival pro: builds a rocket stove out of…snow 🚀

the reason there's so much heat at the top is because snow is actually a surprisingly good insulator until it melts. that's also why some animals roll around in the snow, it helps them keep body heat.

The reason it works so well is the ash coats the snow and starts to insulate it slowing down the melting. We use to do something like this in winter survival badge for scouts.

Average minecraft snow biome survival build

woah, actually worked more decently than expected.

“I basically just needed an excuse to play in the snow” is how some of my favourite adventures have started. 😂

[darcy]

This is amazing! As a person who lives in a tropical country, I just need snow to get started

[markbowman]

OMG 😲! An AMAZING idea for in the winter months.

You have no idea until you try! Keep up the good work. Love the content.

[serialscatterbrain]

The fact that this worked is kind of cool.

Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.

Could be a useful trick for starting a fire in blizzard conditions

[bradleyedwards]

This man has shown what could potentially save a life. Well done sir

[Lit_Frosty_RL]

I’m from Canada. You can literally start a fire over snow like you would on grass. The fire will sink into the snow and make a hole and you can just keep feeding it. After that add a grill on top because unless you keep adding wood closer and closer to the edges, the hole will have a limit to how much it expands.

Не такой там большой мороз. Вон как легко снег лепится. При больших морозах и низкой влажности снег рассыпчатый и никак не склеивается. А тут ещё и снег идет. Похоже, температура около нуля.
Это я к тому, что тут многие пишут, что нормальный сухой материал для растопки и горения будет, если сильный мороз, потому что при очень низких температурах влажность сильно уменьшается.
Видимо герой видео сухие щепки принес с собой вместе со сковородкой)))
