If you plan on spending time out in the wilderness, days or even weeks, you will have to bed down, and since to have to go to sleep anyway you might as well be comfortable!
During that time the weather can turn from a beautiful evening to raging storm and the one thing you don’t want is to lie on the wet ground, attempting to stay dry and snooze.
The solution is to raise the bed off the ground.
While this won’t help you from the pelting rain it will prevent you from laying in a pill of water and, if like Lilly, you have a great camp and lean-to you and your dog should stay safe and sound during severe weather conditions!
After the break, watch how Survival Lilly builds a kick-butt bed!

A few coals with a thin layer of dirt to prevent flaming up will provide some heat.
I think it would’ve been easier to remove the debris first.
