Default Sleeping In Under Snow

I have watched the episode of Man vs Wild where Bear slept inside his custom-made igloo. He dug a hole in a deep snow and made a little room enough for him to sleep. I wonder if any of us will do this? I know I won't.

Heck no! I would have thought that you would freeze to death if you made a bed in the snow? That is sure crazy. I haven't ever seen this show but it sure sounds good. I'm going to look for it on TV.

I've built snow caves when I was a kid. They are surprisingly warm. I never slept in them, but they were fun to play in.
