Ladies and gentlemen, this kid might just be the next Bear Grylls:
Yeah dude, this kid has slept outside every single night since April of 2020.
Unbelievable!
What's more, our guy Isaac lives all the way up in Duluth, Minnesota, where he's encountered overnight temperatures of NEGATIVE 38 DEGREES during the winter months.
Here's how he does it.
14 year-old Isaac Ortman is sleeping outside of Lakeside Presbyterian church Wednesday night, in a structure he built called a "quinzee".
"It's just another form of a snow cave. You just have to put the snow there before you can carve it out, which is the difficult part," said Isaac.
"He's built a few of them, and I've tested them out and you can walk over the top of them and all that stuff," said Isaac's father and Boy Scout Troop Leader Andrew Ortman. "So basically you pile the snow and as you pile up, the snow melts a little bit so it sets and it gets firmer. Then you wait a little while, and then you dig it out, and now they're safe."
Believe it or not, Isaac says he much prefers cold weather over hot, since in the winter you can always add more layers. I'd like to say I agree with him, but I'm speaking solely from my experience inside my heated home.
Isaac is currently a Star Trooper, just two levels below an Eagle Scout. As Isaac's scout leader, Andrew trusts him to put his outdoor skills to good use.
1,000 consecutive nights sleeping outdoors…
I'd say this kid deserves a promotion.
And seriously, somebody needs to get him a TV show.
