SURVIVAL SHELTERS
Building a survival shelter is an absolute priority, if you face a survival situation in harsh or unpredictable weather. A good shelter must protect you from the elements and be comfortable enough for resting and sleeping. Most people cannot survive unprotected from rough weather for more than a few hours.
If possible choose ground:
• that is dry, well drained and reasonably flat.
• that is a comfortable distance to water and has a supply of firewood.
• that has building materials for your shelter.
• that provides protection against strong winds.
If you are lost and people are looking for you, make sure your shelter site is easy to be seen and found by search and rescue teams.
