Oh

s mission a survival let's go to the storm lean-to

okay so first step is done I put my lean-to up right next to my fire I'm i will blanket down underneath me I have my top so half of my top is underneath me the other half is above me Eileen to is very low to the ground I'm only about three feet off the ground with the top of my roof so very closed in and now we have one more job to do the walls alright says a skeleton to my wall now I just have to add debris okay this is how to my bed there's a debris wall I just may protect me from convection

okay so here's a foot of my bed I always keep my rock in there as well and there's the debris wall alright so a debris walls really easy to make and it's just that it's debris I have sticks and leaves and things like that piled up for mine right now and you can use whatever it is that's available you know in your area at that time I've done this with snow you're not stack still snow up i just kind of like MIT into like bricks kind of you can do this with with evergreen boughs you can use leaves you can use whatever it is that's around it's really really simple to do you just have to build some sort of structure you know you can even not even use debris and just use structure where you would put in these struts right here then you would take smaller tips like side branches that grow off of the saplings and you just weave them back and forth you do that really tight and you make a wall out of that so it's really versatile and its really really easy to do and it's incredibly effective to give yourself sidewalls to your tarp so now I have a roof right here I have a place to store my gear I have a place to sleep on there that's going to be protected from the elements on three sides and the fourth side is where my fire is alright so just give you an idea as you can see it's a

a lean-to here's the other wall there's the lean alright so here it is real simple it's just a low lean to where you have your happier tarp underneath you I'm i will blanket right over it and you just add a wall to each side of debris or whatever you can make it out of that way you reduce convection you reduce yourself getting wet from the elements you know you've added walls so now I have a ceiling of roof and two walls I only have one opening and that's my fire is so it's very effective at keeping you drier and warmer than just a standard lean-to well appreciate you use your company sport see in the next one take care
