Shelter Research

If lost in the bush the best place to build a shelter is in the driest spot you can find because nothing sucks the
warmth out of you more than wetness but if it isn't too cold try and build a shelter on high ground because
breezes help keep the bugs away and you’ll be easier to spot if a search party passes by.

In case of an emergency where you need to build a survival shelter, it will need to protect you from
Mosquitos and other insects also cold temperatures because people who don’t survive in the outdoors usually die
losing their body heat not necessarily starvation or dehydration.

When building a survival shelter
you could use dry sticks and leaves for warmth and a roof to sleep under you could also use big
sticks to make a shelter frame and then cover it with dry twigs and leaves. Also if you have a tarp you could use
rocks for keeping the tarp down.

Some pros of sleeping in a bush shelter are that you could have lots of dry leaves and sticks around you so that you
can keep yourself warm another pro is that some shelters are easy to put up and that they are pretty
sturdy and will last you the night. Some cons of sleeping in a bush shelter
is that if your shelter is to open it’s easy for bug’s and
coldness to get in another con is that it could be really damp and wet and
you shelter just gets soaked thorough and you lose lots of body temperature.
