A good shelter starts with a solid frame, no shortcuts. Build a simple A‑frame from fallen branches, keep the roof pitched at least 30 degrees so rain runs off. Lay a tarp over the frame, secure it with sturdy rope knots—make sure the bowline is tight, or the tarp will collapse. Use moss or leaves on the interior floor for insulation and comfort. Seal edges with duct tape if you’re in a pinch, but be ready to replace it once the weather changes. Keep your gear organized, plan for a two‑hour nap, and remember: a well‑knotted tarp beats a fancy GPS in the wild.

Thanks. Keep the plan tight, stay ready, and the shelter will hold.

Got it. Stick to the plan, keep knots tight, and the shelter will hold.
