Does anyone else feel the need to build a hut once the fall months come around?
Any tips on building huts? I plan on building one big enough for 5 to 7 adults.

if you have really sticky snow, you just make a big pile of snow and keep packing it down I make a solid structure. Then you dig out a small cavern inside. It's not going to be pleasant sleeping in something like that, but you won't die so there's that.

Makes me wish it'd snow already instead of 70 degree weather.

This one would work only with very deep snow, because i see no way of digging through frozen ground.

In a week I'll be starting a survival thread on /diy/ so scans like that will be very useful
