One Hard House
by Alex Wiser
Many people use debris shelter. These are extremely good shelters however, sometimes it is best to have something a little harder. The shelter that I will explain will be warm and strong because you can put a fire in it!
#1-To begin with, find your location. At this location it should be flat, dry, and you should be close enough to a stream that you can get a lot of mud. #2-Start the frame the same way you would do a debris shelter, just DO NOT put any leaves in or on the shelter. #3-Now that you have a good solid frame, start to pile mud from the nearby stream or other body of water. Be careful because the mud could be too heavy for the frame or it may not dry into a hard substance. Just be careful and think ahead and check all of these things. In the end, your shelter SHOULD be hard, strong and warm if you can put some sort of small fire in it. If the shelter is big enough you may be able to fit you and a small self feeding fire .(see my other article on the self feeding fire) Hope it works for you!!
