There's no doubt about it; it can be challenging trying to figure out what type of shelter to build when you need one. A lot depends on what conditions you're dealing with, what building materials you have, and of course, the tools you have on you.
Plus, let's not forget that you must decide whether it's even safe enough for you to go on a quest for materials before building a shelter.
Weather is imperative when considering which shelter to build. Ask yourself if a mud hut will keep you safe from the rain. The answer is probably not, so why waste time looking for grass to thatch that roof if you're dealing with snow?
Continue asking yourself questions so you can decide on which shelter will be the best fit for you. As you improvise and create a shelter that'll keep you safe from the elements, remember it's also about keeping yourself safe during SHTF.
It's true that one of the most important tools to have is knowledge. Know your options ahead of time by understanding your surroundings. Only then will you be able to create a primitive shelter that'll keep you safe.
