![[NEW POLL] Trump BEATS Biden In 2024! THIS Is How - Stay Free #239 PREVIEW](https://cdn.mgtow.tv/upload/photos/2023/11/133d0ca520ef0c972250d168d7bfdffe73c221adb8lbbmjJnWH6uEUyWdhh.video_thumb_5052_1.jpeg)
Winter Survival Shelter, Stay Warm Overnight With No Fire
How to build a simple emergency winter survival shelter for use in a solo overnight stay in the field. If you end up getting caught out in bad weather while out in the field and have limited resources this style shelter can be made with no tools, and little skill. Just build it small and use as much material as you have energy to gather, the more you get the warmer you will be. <br> The Arid Scablands can be a tricky place to be when the weather gets bad. Cold winds, low temperatures and steep cliffs and ledges can become hard to navigate at night. In other areas that have an abundance of resources building a shelter can be pretty simple, and there are many videos of building bamboo huts, stick lean-to's shelters, fern and bark huts. We have to be a little creative out here having almost none of those building materials, even firewood is scarce.

The smart use of the resources.....
I've done things like this....
AND despite any perceptions - set up properly - these shelters can be amazingly warm and they will keep you alive....

You MUST keep the cold wind off you, stay dry, and insulate around yourself as much as you can, using anything you can....
And there are degrees of "survivability" - like lets say it's REALLY cold and there is a strong wind... without something to stop the wind getting into your body and dragging the heat out - your fucked....
Getting out of the wind, is your first priority - by using a shield, like a plastic sheet, blanket, or getting behind some wind break, shrubs, tall grass, a dry ditch, thickly set crops like wheat or rape seed, corn etc..
And in a snow cave - a sloping upwards tunnel.... being in a chamber of "not so cold stationary air", is a lot better than standing up or laying down in the open with "very cold" strong winds....
Building an insulating bed - to keep you off the COLD DAMP GROUND or ground that will suck the heat out of you.... is a good and necessary thing....
It's all like a see saw.......
BONUS points are all the little details (and not so little) that improve your survivability and MINUS points are all the little details (and not so little) that will wear you down and kill you....
10 little improvements, are the same as ONE huge improvement.
Like a big nice hot fire to sleep beside in the open on a windless night.... is about the same as:
Getting out of the wind.
Staying dry.
Getting plenty of insulation.
Sleeping on a bed, and off cold and wet and heat sucking surfaces.
Having some hot high energy food and drinks - e.g. meat and beans and coffee etc. is a moral booster and the food keeps you warm.
There are just better choices and worse choices... Always go for the better choices.

There is also an interesting tool - is that a small flame, e.g. a candle or a hurricane lamp gives off a WARM yellow light, and it gives the appearance of warmpth and a faction of good heat in a tiny ventilated space, which is GOOD for you - because it LOOKS warmer.
Like it's not MUCH heat, but in a cold sheltered place - with little to no wind, holding your hands over a candle or a hurricane lamp is HELPFUL for heating you up...
And you can curl up around them and make a small blanket type tent...
Hurricane lamps are good for warming up drinks on / melting ice and snow etc., or cooking small meals on...
A cup full every half an hour, every half an hour - is a good deal...
Where as an electric torch gives off a COLD light...
This is the maths of a kerosene lantern...
A small lantern with a 1/2" or 12.7mm wide wick, puts out 7 Candle Power in light, or it's 88 lumens, OR best of all it is ~6 watts of light - now comes the clever bit - a low brightness carbon flame is about 5% light and 95% heat.
Mmmm K.... IF your light puts out 6 watts of light, it also puts out say 20 x that in heat... or it's about 120 W - and that as a heat source in a very confined and insulated space, and your off the cold ground and out of the wind - it is almost enough heat to cook you....
It will keep you warm when it's appallingly cold around you.....
