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!

In what kind of hypothetical “collapse” are there no structures left? This is silly.
Great until you die of a sinus infection because there are no more antibiotics
Have any good recomendations for an alternative?

The second one in the picture is nice buy you will still have to put down some insulation between you and the ground. Nothing sucks body heat like cold ground.

Matthew David Hummel thats the most sensible thing said here. I dont think anything will happen if in my lifetime but… if it does… besides, wheres the harm in having the knowledge of survival? My time in the military taught me that not everything goes to plan so improvising can save your$#%&!@*in a pinch
Thank you!
He will parish with the rest.

Jeremy Bisig and Allan Bisig we made$#%&!@*like this all the time.
You have to take antibiotics for a sinus infection? That’s why you have an immune system. Let your body take care of it.
Trip wire.. lots of it.. lol
Impacted sinus infections kill without a combination of decongestants and antibiotics. Sometimes antibiotics are not needed in non-impacted infections so if you look at human medical history half of all sinus infections become impacted and than you die if a horrific painful death.
common sence.
Whatever you decide to build. Always involve the kiddos if you can.. Whether we have a collapse in our lifetime or not. Its a great time spent with the kiddos teaching them the old ways. So they can pass it on..
Wow what a jerk Ian Porter go find another place to troll with you fancy smancy fucking useless life thanks
The LOLlapse.
WTSHTF most ya assholes ain’t getting out of them$#%&!@*hole cities ya live unless you are armed & know what’s up…good luck
Jay, it’s perish. Please try again. And if y’all think I’m a troll, it’s because you take yourselves too seriously. I don’t care what y’all do, or how prepared y’all are. Have fun. I really hope that if the$#%&!@*hits the fan that y’all don’t hurt yourselves, but listening to some of y’all, it’s not looking good. I’m sure some of y’all are cool, but a few of you are total fucking dumbasses

sence- amilla. lol
Like these
It only really fails if we don’t know how to make a decent shelter.
Click bait
.
good to know if you are lost or stranded
Because people who don’t live the prepper life think we are all fanatic tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists.
But in reality when a hurricane, wildfire, or any big natural disaster rolls through they will be coming to us begging for help.

>TFW self sufficiency and teaching people IS the solution to increasing awareness about solutions that can save society by simply being prepared and knowledgeable
You can’t talk about saving society without first addressing what can make things collapse. Having a backup plan is proactive, don’t drag everyone down everyone has their own way of helping and doing things, OP, you sound very ignorant. Literally you are using divisive language in an haphazard attempt to “unify” like jeez calm the$#%&!@*down, if you think that collapse isn’t possible, what makes you so insecure that american people need to band together to do anything about anything? At least the preppers are doing something productive like learning logistics and helping with backup plans
Really, y’all need to quit worrying about everything. Don’t live in fear. Go have fun.

What will the Vegans eat??!!
Quinzhee!
If anyone thinks they can survive without thinking about and caring for others, they are missing the point to this life.
