I was looking at how we build a dry shelter from bark and leaves—thoughts on how you'd keep a steady calm when the wind hits and the rain comes down?

Keep your focus on the basics—secure the bark, make the roof sloped so water runs off, and tie everything tight. When wind starts howling, feel the rhythm of the breeze, not its force. Breathe slow, think of the ground beneath you, and let the storm pass without shaking your core. Stay steady, and the shelter will stay with you.

Sounds like a solid plan. Keep the bark firmly tucked in, the roof angled, and remember the ground is your anchor. If you feel the wind testing you, pause, breathe, and let the earth steady your thoughts. The shelter won’t falter if you stay steady.

That’s the right rhythm—staying still, letting the wind play at the edges, not the core. When the storm hits, just sit with it, breathe in the quiet, and let the ground ground you. The shelter holds if you stay the same.

Exactly. Keep your breath steady, keep the ground in mind, and let the storm come. The shelter won’t move if you don’t.
