Technically you made a Quinzee, be careful the best safe way to do it is to create your compact snow pile the day before you wanna sleep in it (so it freezes overnight) after you carve from the inside like you did. Safe thing to do also is putting small wooden sticks through the roof so you see when to stop shoveling inside. One great trick is to use a single candle inside so it creates humidity and freezes the inside wall also. You use your bag to cover the entrance and you can sleep at 0 degrees when its -35 outside. Great video ! Have a good day

being from the northern hemisphere and watching you for a long time, this was a real treat episode. you are awesome for embracing the unfamiliar

If you're going to be sleeping in the snow again, you need to get yourself a steel water bottle, one you can boil water in. Just before bed fill it, heat it, then wrap it in a shirt or something and put it in your sleeping bag. Keep it by your feet and it'll keep them warm for most of the night. A thirty hour emergency candle or a candle lantern in your Quinzee would also help to keep the worst of the chill off. Also try to keep a bit of wood for the morning, if you get overly chilled you'll be endlessly glad for a morning fire Lastly, directly before bed eat something fatty with protein (like a snickers bar) the digestion will keep you warmer.

Man, don't ever change! This channel is so good because it's about the experience and I think your sense of gratitude about it is what keeps me coming. Now I gotta plan my own adventures.

This has quickly become one of my favorite channels. I've been a fan of Survivorman for decades at this point, but Field Days is giving him a run for his money.

Dude, stoked for your love for extreme adventures. As a Canadian, you did very well enjoying our winter experience. Well made Quinzee, Dawgie!

A few tips.Goulash is soup your suppost to mix that can with 1 can worth of water. The reason your cold is because winter sleeping bags only work if you take your clothes off, they work by reflecting your body heat which it cant to if you have clothes on. I've tested both ways in Alaska.

This video is SICCK 😍 - as a gal from Ontario, Canada, it’s so cool to see you in a different climate, adapting to the cold and weather, etc. but please do not be careful lol! My anxiety went up when you were building the igloo because I’ve heard stories of them collapsing but you do a great job!!! ☺️😁 Also, can we take a moment to appreciate your patience and determination?! Wishing you and Maky all the best xxxx safe travels 😊

Honestly, him being from Australia, and being able to do this stuff in the snow impresses me alot! Love the work you're doing bud!

Btw, Gulasch is usually beef chunks cooked in a paprika-based sauce for a long time wich makes originally tough cuts of meat very flavourful and tender, glad you enjoyed it :)

Matt you can’t leave the snow without making a Field Days snowman holding a noodle rod ☃️🎣

mak10 is a great camera woman! I think this every episode she films. She gets the angles the views knows when to do what when . Wonderful work mak!

The excitement and how content he is with everything and every situation, every bite of food and sip of water makes it so sick to watch how much he really enjoys these things

28:10 is the money shot for me! I love how you put in the details for a good video production together with the exciting wild life content. Makes me want to go buy a tent and explore the woods.

Plunges knife into snow, slices many rabbit turds, then right back to cutting sausages 😂 Thanks for the video! I live in Colorado and this is more up my alley than the coastal videos. Love them all, but this was a good change up.

You've taken your channel to the next level 👍😍🇬🇧 New merch with Frothin on? ❤️

The highlight of my Sunday. Sit waiting patiently for these vids, quality as always, the time this must take is insane, but what a watch. We thank you very much for your content.

if you are going to keep doing overnighters in the snow, maybe get an bivy bag! stays a lot warmer. also you can add spruce needles into your hot water, tastes amazing and lots of vitamin C

Ur positivity on life is the best! Thanks for the adventures 🤙🏻

You sure are making me homesick for 🇨🇦, it’s been a few years since I’ve got to have fun in the snow. Heat and sand is wonderful but the snow is magestic.

Great stuff! You are doing great in the snow! Some tips; If you can, you want to raise to the floor in the “iglo” (the cold air is on the bottom. For your lighter, BIC is the best, but remove the child proof ring from the top, since with cold hand, you can not use it otherwise (just lift it up with knife or screwdriver and it pops out) and last, when sitting by the fire, put some pine under your feet, to keep the cold out. Keep it up and feel free to stay in Europe a little while! Can highly recommend the Nordics, specially Finland 👍 And yes, Goulash is great outdoors!

Congratulations!!! Well done!! I’m a proud Canadian and have spent countless days and nights out in the bush here, and that igloo you built up was absolutely awesome dude!! Loving the winter adventures you’re doing !! Cheers!!

Yeah Dawgie!! Nice to see how you get out of your comfort zone, i guess life truly begins then! Much love from the Alps!

The roo slip is hilarious

2 mins in and reminds me of my childhood! Canadian winter brought lots of winter forts 😂

Awesome idea mate. Glad you came to Europe to see our winters. And please bring back 60fps videos so it looks even better. Much love 🤘

From ear to ear mate. Dude, we can actually see the excitement in your face , like the biggest kid ever, lol . Much love and respect! Legend mate !

Nice one! I did this when I was young scout, I made a trench around the sleeping bag so you don't wake up in a puddle. Also I used a candle to harden the inner layer.

Matt experiencing technology in the cold is priceless! Shits no good in the cold. Gotta be smart and tough

One big tip when srviving in the snow and making shelters like these is dont make ur entrance larger than ur backpack. If you make it abit smaler you can use the backpack as a sort off door and generate abitr of warmth inside, but remember to have a small opening for fresh air. This will also shield from eventuall wind and snow

Melt a tiny bit of snow first so you have some water at the bottom of cup. Then totally fill with snow. Speeds up melting/heating process a lot. Especially worth it with a big pot of snow. Awesome seeing you learning in a new environment.

hey buddy if you wanna do more stuff in the cold you should have a look at the Outdoor boys. This dude and his 3 kids are the best when it comes to surviving in the winter. He was born and raised in Alaska so he knows a thing or two about that ;)

A pine brush door on the Igloo would have made a huge difference for you. I love your videos, thank you. Please don't take cold weather and the differences too lightly, it can be no joke, like the Australian desert. Also if you see this and are interested, I'd like to send you some decent coffee. Maui coffee Mate, it has flavor, not burnt cinders. Let me know.

I grew up in Canada at higher elevations so i have built dozens of snow shelters, if get is your first attempt well done. If you make a door or even a half door you can stay warm a candle or 2

Yeeeeessss Finally he made a Igloo Go Field Day!!!!!

i love ur vids so much

Holy crap you're in Austria right? xD I know the sausage and the "Inzersdorfer" Gulasch haha Great video, I absolutely love it! And greetings from Austria

20:55 😂 someone needs to make a video of all the funny Aussie observational shit Matt says.

Must be pretty warm for the snow to be acting like that, what a beauty day to be outside! Absolutely love the abrupt change in locale, always wanted to see what someone who was used to warmer climes would make of a northern bushcraft experience!

Next time try a hot water bottle in your sleeping bag, one or two of them, Luke from the channel the outdoor boys always uses them and he loves them. That’s a great channel to watch as well! He does a lot of the same things Matt does and travels from the USA to all over the world. ❤ love seeing the new content Matt! Love from Birmingham Alabama USA! ❤

Its important to leave a layer of snow below you, the ground is much more conductive and a lot cooler. You would have a much better night sleeping on a thick 30cm layer of packed ice, its much more insulated.

I nearly spat my food out when u came out with..." Look at all the rabbit shit in the roof".. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Totally out the blue... That got me.. Love it as always Matt

Oh, man ! I loved this video. I live in Utah, USA and you did a great job! It's a tough thing to sleep outside in the winter! You made a great ice fort.. whew dawgie! Keep up the awesome work! Loved how you said goulash! It made my day!

Massive love from thunder bay Canada! Been watching your channel for a minute now...always a good time! My 4 yr old son wants to sleep in the back yard in the one we built so this was educational for sure😉. Might just have to giver a go after watching this! 😁 Cheers!

😆😆 it was amusing watching you eat that goulash..especially me being Hungarian, it’s one of our traditional foods (gulyás) which is actually a stew/thick soup, and I saw on the can it was from Germany.. so hey, must be close to our hometaste! Lovely vid mate, I love how positive you are always! You’re really motivating me to go camping again😫🔥

Im here im Germany, i have never tasted canned food that is good when it comes to Goulash oder Gulaschsuppe. I like it how you appreciate what you have on your Table keep it up. You very Humble person

Oh man it is so funny to see you reacting to our Austrian food 😂. You NEED to try Käsekrainer! If you think Knackers are tasteful, well Käsekrainer is the mother of taste 😂

He’s so used to eating from the land , that canned food is a miracle to him 😂 love ya dawgie

Absolutely loving that you're changing up the country! I live in Europe so I always wondered how you would deal with the snow, the cold and what food you would eat! Goulash is one of the best things to eat (try it together with mashed potatoes that's incredible!). Another tip for the barista sessions: try using a Moka it makes the absolute greatest coffee over the fire, I love it!

This guy is absolutely off his head 😂love it!!

I always love it when you eat something, you make it the most exciting part of the video. With all things you eat, I at least know what that brand of Gulasch tastes like. It is the more expensive brand name that is sold in Austrian supermarkets. Great video.

Great video as always! I think you were cold because you had way too much clothes on you in the sleeping bag. We used to take all clothes off except a t-shirt, underwear and a cap. That way you don‘t sweat and get cold. 👌🏻 Put your clothes and shoes under your sleeping bag so they don‘t freeze.

This guy is the 🐐 of KZfaqrs hands down! Froth levels are pulsating when I watch field days! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Your energy and excitement is awesome!

Field thanks for cranking out all the new content... love seeing you in the new biome 💯🔥

Best feeling is getting the notification that a new vid is out ❤

You’ve elevated your videos quite literally 😂😂

Points out the rabbit poo in the snow, and then promptly melts it and drinks it lol. Stay amazing Matt, I love you videos!

Great video as always, hope you are going to upload some more snowy videos, btw dont put the sausage right into the fire keep it above it, I have cooked far to many of those sausages over fire to know what im saing

Amazing you finished the igloo with that small layer of snow availabve. Aaaaand Probs to Mak10 for filming. I hope you had a good time ourt there and be thankful for not having freezing cold temperatures all winter long in Australia.

that's hilarious, the cold kills everything, including battery life. good on you for stepping outside your usual and doing something different. wool sock do nothing once they are cold, so I'm sure you're aware of that now. always nice watching your stuff though

You should layer some bows under your tarp next time to create a matress. When you think it's thick enough, get more. It prevents the cold snow from robbing you of your body heat.

Collab with outdoor boys … bro can keep his kids warm in sub zero… it would be like sleeping in a hotel with both of your skills together! Love the channel… he also knows how to keep the go pros working in sub zero 😂

Hi from Barbados 🇧🇧

i love seeing how you outside your element. much respect.

Brought me back to my days in the Scouts of Canada..good on you Field Days!

great attempt for an Australian. Should have made snow blocks by compacting the snow into a plastic box. My cousin Sean Field, who lives in Melbourne stayed with us for a year here in UK in 1990 s. He was dying to see snow and finally did. He was amazed as has never seen the stuff. We done every thing possible whist snow was here. He loved it.

Nice buddy , welcome to the joys of playing in the snow . You took to it like a boss. Cold always creeps in at night been there

When you said look at all the rabbit shit on the roof I spat my coffee everywhere lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Being from England I can’t relate to the surviving the desert island or snowy mountain videos….. could you do a “surviving a stupid windy rainstorm while 12 crappy kids try to kick your tent down” video please?? 😂😂😂 honestly love the vids man….

Sleeping in the cold is a real challenge. Condensation is the biggest problem. Your breath carries enough moisture to soak you through. Best advice I ever received was to use a "tarp tent" inside of a bigger tent/structure. Then angle the tarp so that the sides carry the condensate away from you.

Can’t wait for this one baby!!!!!!

If you built a snow wall around the fire you can direct some of that heat towards you to help keep you warm at night. I live in WA state and I'm up in the mountains all the time!

You need Sealskinz socks for extreme cold and perhaps warming a rock around the fire so you can put it in your sleeping bag where your feet are. Your extremities are cold because your body cuts circulation to them in order to protect your vital organs and brain from hypothermia. this is why the rest of the body feels okay. All of your blood is going there to keep it warm because it is too cold for it. Many do not understand that if your body and vital organs are cold it is because your body needs more heat. Adding something to keep the heat from escaping from your door would have made your igloo warmer too.

Extremely enjoying the cold climate vids bud!!!

YESSS!!!!! you have finally made a vid abt survival in cold places

One man. One mission.

Love that you are trying new adventures! Some tips for the next time, take a water bottle with hot water and put it by your feet. Next, take something, like your bag, and cover that door! You want to minimize heat loss. And the last tip is to take a fresh pair of clothes for after you build your shelter. You need to get out of those sweaty damp clothes. As a bonus, you can take an empty water bottle into the shelter with you to pee in if you need to go in the middle of the night. Plus it adds warmth again in your sleeping bag.

You killed it with that igloo. Also I love my GoPro for it's compact size and good video but I agree with the struggles of the batteries sometimes mine just shuts off and drains a full battery. Much love keep em' coming

Look Matt- no flies!!! 😂😂

Great video, one tip for sleeping in a igloo is to make a block of snow to block the entrance to the igloo when sleeping inside. This way the heat stays inside.

The realest fdys,tuff love it 🇯🇲🇯🇲 from Jamaica

Although I’m a complete camping novice, I imagine it would of been a good idea to stack more firewood for the morning as well as have a cover over the entrance of the shelter. Would of kept the heat in. Could also of kept the batteries warmer or the go pro! From what I’ve heard, snow shelters are excellent insulators, you can even have fire inside them if the enviro,ent is cold enough. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!

I've heard you should always sleep off to one side and dig the other side lower so that the colder air settles in the hole. Hot air rises so want to sleep up higher.

Pro tip: Sleep the other way around, meaning with your head towards the exit. When a Igloo or Quinzee collapses you have a bigger chance of getting out alive

"Look at all the rabbit shit in the room!!!" Dude, this is gold! 👌

Outstanding dude! I was thinking to myself there is absolutely no way he's gonna stand on top of that thing I'm shocked! He was more safe inside that thing than I thought very cool

Try using a hot tent with a portable wood stove. It'd be a lot more enjoyable especially for winter camping. Great video.

Hahaha, that goulash looks like dog food, he said. But it’s bloody good. Look at all the rabbit shit on the roof. Love it. What an exciting adventure.Hello from Australia.

Hell yeah dawgie, i love these snow vids

6:49 aww can you smell that? But we are half way across the world 😂😂

I loved your little kid mentality. Being able to do something for the first time is exciting. A little tip for snow sleeping for you though, to keep warm is not always about layers of clothing or material. You would have kept warmer laying there in sweat pants and a hoody while inside your sleeping bag . You need air between your body and first layer of clothing. and so forth. My point here is Baggy. You want initially loose fitting cloths against your body. Look at it like this. If you put a candle inside a jar and light it. ( you being the flame ) it burns right ? but what happens when you put a lid on the jar ? the flame / heat goes out it stops burning. But if you just barely hold the lid over the top of the jar the flame still burns hot. Heat needs to move and then absorb. My winter coat is not a tight fit. My flannel I wear under that is not a tight fit. There is a good amount of air under it all . Also don't sleep with your arms in the sleeves of your coat. Keep them out near your chest. this also helps keep a pocket of air against your core and the door, you left it wide open. any heat you was generating inside your snow fort there just went out it. Anyways. fun video, enjoyed the watch hope the next time is a better sleep for ya.

Easy pickings for a hungry bear or a pack of wolves. An Igloo with no door, this man is extremely brave.

Give makky a kiss matt. Hahaha we're waitin!

he's mastered; aussie autback, tropics, and now arctic. hes really trying to be the next avatar

How to Build a Quinzee Snow Shelter Step 1: Shovel a pile of snow into a mound 7 to 8 feet high and big enough around to hold two people once it is hollowed out. ... Step 2: Shape the mound into a dome and allow it to sinter for about 90 minutes. ... Step 3: Use the last foot of snow to make elevated snowbeds. Dig a narrow trench between the beds all the way to the ground. This allows cold air to flow down and out of the quinzee. Poke a small ventilation hole near the top of the dome. Building a quinzee will make you sweat. Prevent hypothermia by changing into warm dry clothes after you finish building your shelter.

I think every guy out for had wanted to know what it’s like to camp in an igloo. Bad ass!!! Great video

Yes!!!! Been waiting for a new post from you! Ty for sharing your adventures with the rest of the world. 😊

Nice igloo in the mountain. Must be fun.

Outta the frying pan, into the igloo..! 👏
