Building a Survival Shelter

There are many books and Dvds on survival and they all cover Survival Shelter. Listed below are the types of shelters that you may built.  
A Frame shelter = is a coarse shelter to start you need a centre beam. Leaned up branches against the beam to form the roof. Once you have a good solid frame, start to cover it with grass, leaves or branches. Always start with your roofing material at the bottom, and then work your way up. The Lean-to shelter = is the simplest and fastest shelter to build. You need a horizontal field which can be tied in the middle of two trees or supported by two branches crossed over. Then branches are leaned against the wind side to create an angled roof. The roof can than be covered with branches, grass, leaves or moss. Debris shelter = To build a debris shelter you will need a sturdy ridge-pole this will need to be propped on a sturdy log or rock, When the ridge-pole is in place, you will need to place sticks close together along both sides at an angle, leaving an chance for a door. At this stage, it will look like a backbone with ribs. Cover the roof with branches, grass, leaves or moss. Inner Insulation you will need to be padded with the softest, driest debris. Pad it out top to bottom, go inside and compress it, this shelter will keep you warm. Snow Hole = Pick a favorable site it helps if the site is level, and not under the path of a inherent avalanche. Make a pile of snow and compress it down as firmly as the cold air will dehydrate your snow pile in a sort time, this process will sacrifice the risk of the cave from collapsing while you dig it out. Dig a tunnel into the snow, sloping up slightly. Flat roof inside to sacrifice the drips, so your tool is not soaked. Make sleeping areas as needed. The higher the sleeping platforms are, the better, as cold air will sink below the sleeping area will keep you warm. Make a hole in the roof. Make sure it goes all the way through. Without a ventilation hole, you could suffocate and light a candle to see if the is oxygen. Block the entrance with a backpack to stay as warm as possible.
