Lean To Shelter

by Robbie
(United States)

Find a log that is in the air about chest high. Go out searching for some logs that will cover at least 4/5 of your body. Lean them up onto the log in the air and make it wide enough and make sure that it will block most of the rain if it does.

Then, optional, you can take more logs and put them on the other side of the log. For warmth, I would find rocks and stack them on one side. Your body should probably be against those rocks.

All those rocks and logs could lead to a nasty accident: tree limb is unstable, add snow, and watch out below. Even if only a cracked rib, or just a nasty bang and bruising: I don't call that survival.
