Modern Fort Construction Techniques
First, the form is put together around a child.
Next, the assembled form is moved to the correct location on flat ice.
The form is then filled with snow.  During the filling process the child walks back and forth to evenly pack the snow into the form. No children were hurt this year during the fabrication procedure dispite their best efforts.
After the filling and packing are done the pins are pulled on the form and it's pulled away.
The gap between walls is filled with snow.
The resulting snow wall is now ready to protect the owner from incoming ordinence.
Total time to build the wall : 10 minutes.
