It's challenging knowing what type of shelter to build when you're in need of one. So much depends on your existing conditions, building materials, and the tools you have with you.
It's important to consider whether it's safe enough to search for materials before constructing your shelter.
But you also need to take the weather and climate into consideration — will a mud hut keep you safe from the rain? Probably not. Will you be wasting precious time looking for grass to thatch your roof if you're currently stuck in the snow?
And what else is there to build with? These are all vital questions you should ask yourself prior to making a shelter. Most of the time building a shelter will be about improvising, and remembering which shelters are the easiest to make depending on the SHTF situation at hand.
One of the best tools you can carry is knowledge. Knowing your options ahead of time, based on your surroundings is the key to surviving. Check out the slides for some excellent examples of primitive shelters!

Your granparents didn’t panic ,they just went about their normal routine because they didn’t have facebook to incite fear & nonsense at them
I think you are becoming a legend in your own mind…..my grandparents panicked every day.
Donna said ,not on the Decker side.
Is every structure collapsing too?
I plan to stay at home…..
Katherine Johnson for note
This is gold
Fine for the wilderness but in suburbia there should be salvageable building materials no matter the disaster. Having rolls of heavy mil black and clear plastic sheeting and a heavy duty staple gun can build you a shelter in a very short time. A roll of Fiberglas screen will staple just as well and allows air in while keeping insects out.
No such thing.

Sometimes people travel. You’re not guaranteed to have your plane crash or Get Shipwrecked on an island with a Home Depot.
I think this is a good idea. Is there any type of zombie that can climb a tree though?
Hopefully everyone in the city dies
So everybody’s going to go live in the woods when Society collapses? I’ll just live in my old ruined house!
But, does it have Wi-Fi???
Lmao

Solar chargers are everywhere. I have a few pocket size. One has many gigs in it. Power enough for multiple devices. : ) Not that it will matter. Emergency power only lasts about 8 days max, then no more communications! That’s what a cop told me! Here in Canada. Said, “we don’t know what we’re going to do without communications”. See the trap? I do!

I’ve been building alternative shelters in the woods since I was a kid .
I have had a few tents and have rarely used them and considered them an unnecessary weight in my pack .
A tarp goes a long way .
I have returned to check on some long term shelters I’ve dug out and found that many critters have moved in and appreciated them as much as I did .
A simple lean to can save your life even in the most foul weather, trust me I know .
