Surviving in the outdoors in winter requires an entirely different set of skills in comparison to surviving when the weather, elements, and environment are warmer.
Like it or not, even if you love winter, survival in spring, summer and fall is on many levels easier (although poses different challenges.)
One major challenge is finding or creating a warm, dry shelter that can insulate you from the elements; this is critical if your situation is likely to be longer than just a few hours.
Being able to build a secure, comfortable, warm and waterproof shelter is vital to your safety and well-being, not to mention your state of mind.
One option is the shelter explained in the video on the next page – the video shows how to make it, waterproof it and include a wood stove for heat = all it lacks is Wifi and Netflix!

Sometime you just gotta do what you gotta do, at least they are trying . Shouldn’t never have to come to this but our goverment is more interested in taking care of illegals

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

This is important to you Republican voters. you vote to lower all wages and remove call safety nets for working people .helping the rich get richer .so yes learn to live in tar paper shacks again .the new American dream they sold you weak minded fools on .enjoy your death at work broke .at least your boss can have a great life ..
Eric, this is for all you lazy spoon fed democrats that think the world owes them. Since they will be to lazy to build one they shall probably freeze, the world is a better place . Take your radical views to California and suffer under the high taxes to support illegals, have a nice life working for suport of someone else!
Bob Thompson lol you have no fucking clue what real work even looks like idiot
At least someone gets rich with republicans. Just the politicians get rich when Dems take office. They don’t give a$#%&!@*about the American people. They have sold your ignorant,lazy asses out. Trade in your denial for the truth and wake up.
And is becoming a felonious skill set, ^^ self sustainable living is wrong being a non Consumerist American should end with life in prison..
I doubt the rich are the problem with the high cost of housing in this liberal state of WA. Eric you are so brain dead you can’t see what has happened.
Eric, you’re a special kind of douchebag to politicize a fucking tent. Please rethink your life choices, you liberal$#%&!@*
Intell it caves in with snow!

Shouldn’t the tarp be over the poles
Awesome
The one thing I’ve noticed about these tarp shelters is:
Don’t forget ventilation.
Get “rained” on once, and it’ll change your thinking on a freezing day.
That wouldn’t stand two days snowfall here.
Furthermore, with all that plastic – you’ll get more wet inside than outside…

I am pretty sure that this would not stand up against the high winds in the Dakotas.
Give me a good waterproofed canvas tarp any day over these cheap plastic ones. With a hole for the stove pipe and the proper metal collar you don’t have to worry about your roof melting from the heat in the stove pipe. With that and a few of the reinforced space blankets, you can make a dry, warm and durable shelter that will keep you snug and comfortable in below zero temps.
Who Carey’s 1500 sq. ft. Of tarp or plastic in there pack? Just curious.
