Basic Tips for Building Bushcraft Shelters

The Right Place

•The place you are looking for should be leveled and it should be near lots of  building materials.

•Avoid making shelter in low-lying areas as these areas may become flooded when rain comes. 

A Sturdy Shelter

•Make sure that your shelter is strong. Use interlocking forked branches for the framework and fix it with rope for extra strength. •Make sure that the posts do not stick up through the roof because this will let water drip inside your shelter.

A Sturdy Shelter•Create as much insulation as possible. 

•You have to make sure you are warm or you will catch hypothermia.

•If you have enough time, it is recommended to create a raised bed using logs and dried leaves.

Build a Fire•Fire will keep you warm for the night and will keep away wild animals like wolves. You can also utilize it for cooking a meal.

•Gather enough fuel and build a good fire that will last through the night. Primitive fire building skills is needed if you don’t have a fire starter kit.
