Shelter
Tarps, lean tos, snow, and what to do with no kit at all.
Debris shelter
Shelter
A shelter built with nothing but what is lying on the ground.
Emergency bivy and space blanket
Shelter
The light shelter that lives in the day pack for the night you did not plan, and how to get the most warmth out of it.
Natural shelter
Shelter
Using what is already standing: a rock overhang, a thick stand of tuckamore, the lee of a big spruce or the roots of a blown down tree.
Pitching a tent in wind
Shelter
Getting a tent up and keeping it up when the wind is trying to take it off the barrens.
Snow shelter
Shelter
Digging in when the wind is up and there is nothing to build with.
Snow trench
Shelter
The fastest snow shelter there is: a slot dug in the snow, roofed over, out of the wind in under an hour.
Tarp lean to
Shelter
The fastest roof over your head with a tarp and a length of cord.
Tree well shelter
Shelter
Using the hollow under a big spruce or fir in deep snow: a roof already there, and boughs all around to finish it.
