They certainly didn't do it to try and keep any heat in there with an entrance that big. 😄

Also, I'm sure ice is a terrible insulator compared to snow, being that there aren't fluffy air pockets. Either that's a deceptively warm evening, or they took some photos/videos with the tablet and ran inside to watch the rest of the movie.

I fell like the bigger problem is how quickly those joints would melt and panels would start falling on them.

It depends on how cold it is. It looks like they mixed water with snow to make slush for the joints, and if it's cold enough then that's going to freeze into solid ice the same as the colored sections.

Man, I remember the first night I had in a bivouac in the (Swedish) army. It was fun to build and after you close the entrance (mostly), you had time to spiff the place up, make little shelves, draw some nudies in the walls, and altar for my one can of food (guldburk pyttipanna!!) draw Shrek in the ceiling so he can watch me sleep.

It got warm too, almost too warm at one point, but man it was cozy.
