A Frame Survival Shelter (Summer)

This is one of the best natural survival shelters for preventing Hypothermia (when gear is not available). This is also a low profile shelter for when being found by the wrong people is not an option.

nice video, but i have to say guys be careful what you pull off the ground for cordage.. ive done that once and it was poison ivy. so make sure you know what your picking up. I recommend to look up pictures if your not sure what poison ivy looks like :)

@iSMITH4life Good tip on the poison ivy. The oils will get you even in the off season. Personally, I've never been effected by it. The roots I used were from the Virginia Creeper. Thanks for the input.

this is what i use when i go camping. can personally vouch on its effectiveness. ive come to find if you get more sticks and get leaves moist and dry and lay wet dry wet dry then place your pine or spruce boughs it helps weather proof it better. more heat stays within and more water stays out.

@theblackcatofpb Good tip, thanks.

Reckon you could do some more videos on shelter? Or do you have one like this up your sleeve, so to speak? 

[Ghostkamo]

@walkinarmory Yes, shelter is a first on the four essentials list so, I plan to cover more on shelter ( improvised and other).

I am excited to build an A frame shelter like that.

@Ghostkamo no problem man, just trying to stop other people from what happen to me. about 2 years ago I was up in a tree trying to trim some branches and little did I know there was poison ivy all of the tree the next day I woke up and I was literally COVERED in it, it was even in my left eye and that was swollen shut for 3 days.

alot of people have massive openings to a frame shelter that wont keep you warm

a little trick i use is open my legs slightly and how big the gap is how big i have my opening and ill admit its a little small in there but remember the bigger the shelter the harder it is to warm it up
