Building shelter in the wikd
When choosing a place to build your shelter, try to stay near a source of water.
If your scenario is a crashed car or a small airplane, stay as close to the wreckage as is safe.
If it's heavily shaded from view, stay close but visible. You should also avoid natural hazards like dead tress that could fall, cliffs and dry river beds.
Heavy rains can turn a dry bed back into a rushing river very quickly. Your shelter should be no bigger than necessary, the larger the shelter, the harder time you'll have holding in the heat.
If possible, don't sleep directly on the ground. Piling grass or pine needles can go a long way toward helping you retain body heat.
Your shelter should be ventilated, especially if you plan on having a fire inside or near the entrance. Use large rocks or tree branches to block the door. This prevents heat from getting out and animals from getting in.
