Main > Living > Survival > Shelter Second roof: When constructing a desert shelter, erect a "second roof" one or two feet above the first. This will reflect much of the heat your first roof would normally pass on to you and it can be removed and used as an extra blanket at night.   [guest]

Main > Living > Survival > Shelter Keeping warm: A sure way to keep warm is to carry a candle with a candle holder and an extra large poncho. Pile a layer of insulation on the ground. Sit down on that insulation pile and have your extra large poncho totally enclose your body, including your head, and light the candle. In this small space the air will quickly heat up.   [guest]

Main > Living > Survival > Shelter Quick Snow shelter: Stomp out a trench or box or round shaped room in the snow, packing the snow and piling it up around the perimeter using your feet and hands. Next take branches, debris, leaves, or bark (whatever is available), and place over the top for a roof. Make sure you have adequate ventilation and remember that any snow overhead can melt and drip.   [guest]
