You find yourself stranded out in the middle of nowhere, and it doesn't look like you'll be getting out anytime soon. Now would be the time to build a shelter to protect yourself from the elements and give yourself a level of protection from predators.
What shelter should you build, though?
You could do a lean-to, but this won't do much to protect you from the wind or driving rain. If you are in heavy snow, you could build a snow cave, which surprisingly do wonders to keep people warm in blustery conditions. If it's too hot for snow, however, there is a way you could still have the benefits of a snow cave by just using the earth.

Written instructions pleeeeeeeeease

looks like a water hazard to me
Evidently concealment is not an objective
