It doesn't matter how prepared you are. If you get stuck out in the wilderness without tools, food, water, and most importantly — shelter, you need to learn how to improvise and if the sun is going down, you need to improvise fast.

In today's video, you'll watch how a survivalist shows us how to build your own shelter if you're faced with an emergency situation and don't have any tools with you. All you need to do is find the base of a tree, some tree branches, and moss, and you should be good to go.

This shelter sounds easy to construct — and it is, but not everyone has tree branches and moss where they may be bugging out. That's why it's important to know what you can make with the surroundings and natural elements you have around you, especially if you have limited time to create a shelter.

Luckily this prepper lives in an area where there is plenty of tree roots, branches, and moss, which made it possible for him to create a quick and effective shelter that could keep him safe from the elements.
