Anyone used the Icebox igloo making tool much?

[Marthony]

Hello,

I noticed Jerry D Young has this in his game cart list, and am wondering if he or anyone else here has experience with it?

I made 3 igloos with it last season, and plan to do at least that many again in the coming season. That's 1x 7' and 2x 8' models. With some forethought I hope to join a local snowshoeing company's build crew - they build the igloos in the back country and then hike their customers in. It would be great to get others' experience on building to improve my skill & speed. Then of course, run a staff event at my company and build the largest model the tool makes, 11' wide x 6'7" high outside dimensions. With such experience the tool would be more viable for emergency use.

I slept in the 8' for one night, short story. =)

Of course, an igloo wouldn't likely be built for a 1 night emergency stay, but if you knew you'd be there for more than 2 nights you wouldn't regret such a solid shelter! (I've a habit of standing on top of mine as soon as they are built)

Any thoughts, experiences?
