StandAlone & Dobro
Hey Dobro, I was thinking about setting up a quick shelter in case of a storm. Any thoughts on how to make it efficient and reliable?
That’s such a thoughtful idea! For a quick, reliable shelter, start with a sturdy tarp or canvas and a frame made of poles or sturdy branches—think a simple A‑frame or a teepee shape. Use a waterproof tarp and make sure it’s angled so rain drips off. Anchor it with heavy rocks or stakes in the ground, and add a layer of insulation like a sleeping pad or blankets underneath for warmth. If you have a spare roof or shed, you could use a tarp over it for extra protection. Keep the entrance wide and add a small door flap made from a sheet of plastic to keep wind out but let people get in easily. Also, set up a small fire pit or stove area a safe distance away, and have plenty of water and a first‑aid kit handy. That way, you’ve got shelter, heat, and safety all in one spot. Good luck, and feel free to ask if you need help gathering supplies!
