Build a SnowBed

I had the idea to build a chair out of snow, but then decided that a bed would be much better. This bed would utilize a real pillow, sheets, covers, and thermal blankets. 

This bed is formed from snow, a snow shovel, a wheelbarrow, a disc sled, a PVC pipe, a coal shovel, a bulb planter, a small potting shovel, sheets, covers, pillows, water, nails, and thermal blankets.

I used the bed for a short nap, and was quite warm while resting on it. The sheets I used were actually thermal blankets which had a wool covering on it. I would have added more covers if using for an extended period of time.

You will need:
  • snow
  • a snow shovel
  • wheelbarrow
  • a disc sled (anything which can press the snow evenly)
  • a PVC pipe (I used one inch PVC, but anything long enough will work)
  • a coal shovel
  • a bulb planter
  • a small potting shovel
  • sheets
  • covers
  • pillows
  • water
  • nails
  • and thermal blankets.
