I always thought about doing this in the wilderness before. It would provide you a lot of comfort against insects if you could get it very air tight on the outside (consider using tree saps and mud to surround the materials you use to surround a shelter).
My brother and me make these when we go camping to sleep in, even in colder weather these work GREAT as temporary shelters in the wilderness, however we tend to use option #2 and use all natural items found around the forest
One thing that would help in a situation like this is if you had some paracord. That stuff is vital in a survival situation due to the many different things it can do.
Nice info picture, now I know how to build a shelter, skeleton first. ;)
ReplyDeleteI might actutally need this in the future, imma save that picture

ReplyDeleteI always prefer having at least one rock wall myself, but this is a good way of building a shelter.

ReplyDeleteNice, i'll remember that next time I wind up homeless.
ReplyDeleteMe and a mate made one of these once and it fell in on us.
ReplyDeletethats actually pretty simple to make, or so it looks like on the picture.
ReplyDeleteuseful information, thanks.
That's pretty useful if you fall from a crashed plane/helicopter you'll have a parachute to make the ideal shelter with.
ReplyDeleteA useful shelter by the look of it. In the wilderness I've always had a tent so not needed this.
ReplyDeleteWell Tom Hanks would've loved this blog if he'd been able to access it..
ReplyDeleteGood posts, keep it up
awesome! thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeletevery educational, lol ! :P will follow !
ReplyDeleteI always worry that the supports will collapse in the night when I make temp shelters.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should print this out and keep it in my pocket just in case.
ReplyDeletelol, very nice. practical, too!
ReplyDeleteHopefully one can remember this when necessary!
ReplyDeleteNice! Can't wait for the zombie apocalypse now!
