ICE BOX GRAND SHELTERS\ IGLOO. Only used one time. This is an AWESOME deal! Product Description THE GRAND SHELTERS ICEBOX® The ICEBOX® igloo construction tool is used for igloo building by creating sequential blocks in place. You set the clamps on the form then fill it while packing. After you have filled it you unclamp it and slide it to the next position. A pole with 8 adjustments, 1 for each layer is used to build igloos with the correct catenary shape and to help support the weight of the snow and form while packing the snow. After finishing 6 rows of the igloo you remove the outside of the form as the wall is now leaning in far enough so the snow can be packed from the outside. The snow only needs to hold its form well enough to stay in place until you start the next block. 8 total rows are built including the final cap. Product weight for all configurations, 7ft, 8ft, 9ft, 10ft, and11ft is 5lbs 2oz. Kit includes hardware for all igloo sizes The ICEBOX® Igloo Tool includes a manual and 30 min.

You can build with any snow conditions allowingyou to stay in the woods and out of the wind. Snow types include sugar snow, slurpee type ice, depth hoar. Most noteworthy, building an igloo takes 50% less effort than is required to build a quinzhee ordig a snow cave of equivalent size. Build time is approx. 1-3/4 to 3 hoursdepending on snow quality and quantity. The short build time will not causefatigue and being outside while building, you will stay cool enough to preventsweating.

The assembled slip form has auto release snaps to prevent formfrom breaking if it happens to fall while full of snow. Snaps also help inassembly of form allowing builder to keep gloves on. All parts are made ofbright colors to prevent loss of smaller pieces in snow. The support pole helpscreate the exact same ICEBOX® Igloo every time. Strength to Last the Season. An ICEBOX® igloosnow shelter is so strong, 3 people have stood on top of a completed igloo(not recommended). The actualcross-section of a ICEBOX® igloo snow shelter is self-supporting because itforms a catenary curve. The same theory used in the flying buttresses of thecathedrals of Europe. The igloo blocks are built in place. The builder is able to kneel orstand rather than lying down or kneeling like a snow caver. Kneeling is onlyrequired for the first row. Extend the season, you only need 6 inches of snowfor an igloo, when an igloo can be built from surface snow on summer glaciers. ICEBOX® igloos have been built on frozen lakes with only 3 inches. See NorthDakota Minnesota photos. An igloo, above all, is tall enough to facilitatestanding up to stretch or get dressed. Enjoy quiet, peacefulcamping with no flapping in the wind like a tent. Winter camping in an igloo isjust plain fun. With outside temps of -15 F and two candles burning thetemps will be 48 F at the ceiling 38 F at the floor. With no heat source andall occupants in sleeping bags the temps 38 F at the ceiling and 34 F at thefloor. No need to sleep with the water bottle. Great ICEBOX® Igloo built.
