Thread: Overnight emergency survival shelter

  1. #1

    Overnight emergency survival shelter

    Pictures from a contest I entered.
    No cordage was used other than green waitaminute vines.
    Used a cedar tree limb and cedar sapling for a framework, bed is cedar boughs with hickory leaves. Rock fireplace to direct heat back into the shelter. Big enough for two people. Only tool used was a 14" Fiskars hatchet.

    I fear the nation I loved may be gone. The best I hope for now is to die with honor in the coming civil war, and that my grandchildren be spared the pain of a tyrannical government.

    We just had a dusting. By the time I took pictures, all gone. The little fireplace works. Didn't go long because I just couldn't take the time to hang out, with farm chores and all. Back to work Wednesday, and a lot to do before I leave again.
