Tree Stump Shelter

by Thomas
(Canada)

1. Find an uprooted tree
2. Make sure that the hole where the tree used to be is dry.
3. Find sticks and lean them against the uprooted tree roots.
4. Use thick sticks first, then thin sticks to fill in the gaps.
5. Collect leaves, weeds, leafy branches, anything you can find.

Site Build It!OPTIONAL AND NOT TESTED: with your leaves, create a 6 in layer (13cm) layer, and then shovel dirt onto leaves, create another layer of leaves (6 in).

6. Create a 12 in (30cm) layer of debris on top of your frame.

Sleep!

The Dome Frame
by: Jimmy

Here is one of the basic types of shelters to be used in the forest.

-The Dome Frame: Take a sapling(5' to 6'), and use a heavy stick or log to keep it down in a half-circle. Then stack sticks and foliage, etc, etc against one side of it.
