When temperatures in Minnesota dropped to minus 27 degrees recently, Rudy Hummel simply put on an extra fleece, filled an empty bottle with hot water and got cozy in the "snow cave" outside of his house.

The 17-year-old high schooler from Hermantown, Minn., has committed to sleeping outdoors every night for a year -- no matter the weather, KARE 11 reported. Hummel is using his "Snore Outdoors" mission to raise funds and awareness for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit that builds shelters for the homeless, and the Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory, a group that protects migratory birds, according to his website.
