The dogs are skinny.

The dogs are not in good shape, but they try not to let this get them down.

Their spirits are high.

They're here.

They made it and they're immediately getting to work.

Man.

First things first, they build shelter.

There's no trees, of course, but there's a ton of driftwood and they gather it from all over the beach and they use it to build frames for these tents and like the skeleton of a house.

The house has open sides, but their plan is that once it snows, they can use snow blocks to build up the walls.

This actually works really well if you haven't slept in an igloo.

It's really surprisingly cozy.

Snow is a good insulator because it has air in it.

So their snow house, it's not going to get warm even with a fire inside.

But if it's 40 below outside and they have a little stove going, it might get up to like 30 degrees, 30 above inside the house.

That's 70 degrees warmer than the outside air.

So it's pretty good.

They obviously are going to need a ton of fuel.

So they gather a bunch more firewood.

They chop it.

They stack it.
