Shelters can be hit and miss but if you build it right, keeping yourself warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer – and free from rain – then you know you’ve done a good job. Take a look at these ancient shelters originally built by none other than Native Americans!

There are more shelters, of course, and you can find them over on Survival Frog. Even if we think we know everything, the best shelter to build for our families to live in during a chaos situation, it never hurts to view others.

There may be a time when we have to leave our home out in the wilderness and build something as simple at a lean-to and, yes, our ancient Native Americans knew how to do that too!
