Wilderness Survival Shelter
Roughin' It or Nice and Cozy??
When we think "wilderness survival shelter, we can learn a lot from hunting cabins and the way they are designed as quite often those are built with winter and cold weather in mind... CLICK HERE for a really great PORTABLE Hunting Cabin Plan
...and by the way, if you ARE a hunter, especially for deer...
we are avid hunters :)

Okay...Back to the Subject of Wilderness Survival Shelters ...
We are a family of hunters and depend on the annual meat supply the forest raises for us so it is easy to get off topic here a bit! =)
There are many ways that you can make a shelter in the wilderness, and it depends of course on what kind of wilderness area you happen to be stranded in..... or plan to escape to when disaster hits.
The method of survival shelter also depends on what time of year it is.
We have discussed several ways of building shelters HERE that you may want to look at then, but let's just imagine for a moment at what we can prepare AHEAD of time for the purpose of surviving in the wilderness....
What if....
We could build a simple camp on wheels kind of thing??
You know, sort of like a pop up trailer, except rugged enough and STURDY enough to be taken anywhere that your SUV or pickup can take it.
We found an amazing and fascinating guide on building a camp that is designed for hunters.
When we saw it, we knew we had found the perfect solution for the Do It Yourself kind of guy that wants to have a wilderness survival shelter in a bag.... er... on a trailer... =)
Anyone that has ever spent time in a tent in a remote wilderness area knows there are certain downfalls to that.
Rainy weather....everything gets wet and damp, and soon moldy if you can't figure out a way to dry things.
Uneven ground... it's okay for a few nights, but it gets pretty old to try to find a spot to sleep where you won't be rolling downhill or ending up in a small hollow in the ground!
No storage area... all your gear and belongings are piled up against the tent wall, where it gets all wet with condensation...
Stooping and Ducking...no head space or room to get dressed without stooping in half to do so.
These are all things that are fine and dandy when you are simply on a camping trip for a few days...but when you are thinking wilderness SURVIVAL shelter, it's not such a great thought to be doing it for weeks on end!
With some simple tools and supplies, you can build what the hunters call a portable camp and be all set for all kinds of weather.
