 And you are warm again. The storm has blown over. And I’ve spotted 1 a forest in the distance. In Iceland, the poor soil, wind and temperature means that trees are few and far-between. But when you find them, they are ideal for both shelter and wildlife. Hey, look at these. These are ptarmigan feathers here. See this? All of this. And ptarmigan’s like a type of grouse 2. But this is why they have this white winter plumage. And what it does is that it camouflages 3 them well with the snow. It’s good news to me that ptarmigans are around. I might well be able to get one. Ptarmigans are known as snow chicken in the U.S. And they feed on berries and seeds beneath the trees. 


 
This is kind of what I’m looking for here like a bit of a natural channel where ptarmigans might well pass. So what you need to do is use your shoelaces. Just tie this end into a really simple little overhand knot that gives me a little loop. And then tie this end around the tree. And then set this one in that side and drape that over here. And the idea is, a ptarmigan comes along, and goes through. They’ll get snared 4 in that and stuck to the tree. I’m going to set several traps and hope that one will pay off by morning. 
 
Your next priority will be to find shelter and build a fire. I’m going to show you how to make a traditional shelter like the ones used by the Vikings. What I’m doing here is just make a nice, springy mattress 5. Then I’ll build up the walls with rocks in the shape of a coffin 6 to trap the heat inside. This bit of the wall I’ve built up higher, so I can then put some branches over the top of this. And these dead branches have like a natural bow in there, which means I can just drape them over the top. And that’s enough room under here for me to lie. And I just need to put some moss 7 on the top of it here. This should be waterproof 8.
