Video Transcription

especially to survival and today I'm gonna be showing a quickie permanent no tools survival shelter stay tuned alright this is what you're looking for a dense thicket of trees let's head in there alright it's pretty much all there is to it so am i rock down so I'm off the ground and I'm not feeling a conduction and I might blank it so if i want i can i can do a pocket shelter while I'm in here but as you can see this much less than L falling here then there is outside and that shelter above me is what's gonna keep me drier which is what's gonna keep me warmer and having all these thick trees around me is also going to knock down the wind the convection currents blowing through and that's what I want obviously you know I want to try to stay warm and dry and you know it's just a no-brainer if you're trying to get out of snow you don't have any gear on on you at all you know no blankets nothing and you're trying to find a place that you can pull out in a storm or build a temporary or survival shelter this is a great place to do it you know you just find a dense low-hanging evergreen possibly two or three and right here there's three of them to triangle I've got two in front of me I have one behind me so their branches create this like this little like wolves inside here you know I mean I have like walls around me now obviously if I wanted to increase the insulated value of the shelter it'd be pretty easy all I would do is go to the evergreen trees around in this case that's eastern white pine and I would go to a section that didn't have a nice little shelter underneath it like this so I'm not ruining a shelter and I would take and break off some of the branches then I will just lean them up against the outside of my shelter these branches to lean them right up and make walls really simple you know I'm not going to ruin a bunch of trees and break off a bunch of branches just for this demonstration but I mean it's pretty obvious you know if it's a little windy just break off some branches and lean them up against the other branches you know like these that are my walls right now to create more insulation make it thicker on that wall and yeah yeah it's pretty uh pretty nice in here not bad now I see a few more I'm taking guys walk around and I'll show you a few more that I would also choose all right so there's my rock so you can see the Starkel line where the branches stop the snow from falling okay so now it's a nice little Park in here now I noticed these are the branches I was talking about laying branches on them now I noticed over here there's another one right there some take you guys over there

okay so there's another nice spot very easy to find because the pine needles are clean underneath I would go right in the spot right here right in there all right in there all right another dry spot there's no snow in here it's it's a nice little spot as well it's not as nice as the one that I already found definitely serviceable I wanted to I could lay down in here plenty of dry you know dry spacing there for me to do that then I can work on if I need to improving this particular shelter this one's a little more open again then the other one still perfectly fine though so you know this is a really quick you know no tools option you know a quick primitive shelter to get yourself out of the snow because getting out of snow is incredibly important because when snow hits you and your clothes it melts in terms of the water all right so sit back to the first one I found yeah it's nice in here that's my rock right where I left it all right let's move in unit survival I just want to show that you know shelter doesn't always mean you have to build something there are a lot of natural shelters out there that don't take any tools that usually don't take any time and they'll be serviceable immediately and then you can tweak them a little bit to make them even better if you decide to stay there longer appreciate your views comments in support see in the next one take care
