I have no land. In fact, I live out of my car. Why I do sometimes, is go out to the lake for the free camping. I run a good Ridgeline, and pitch a tarp. I cook, sit, whittle, think, etc under it, and just sleep in the car 🤷. Also, I live in Tennessee so it's more about staying cool than staying warm here.

Hi from the UK. I tried building with a porpoise but his flippers weren't very helpful. Lol

Good tips Dan! I've always found staying cool far more difficult than staying warm. This summer was particularly difficult with high temperatures and humidity. To keep warm, you can have a fire, add clothing, add covers like blankets, sleeping bags, etc. and add mass and insulation to a shelter. Staying cool usually means removing or reducing, but you can only do that to a point before you are out of items to reduce or remove, and still may be uncomfortable, or now completely exposed to insects which just make things more uncomfortable. Maybe you could add a video on the best tips and methods for staying cool to your video to-do list?

Love the information in this video Dan !!! More tools for the toolbox !! Unfortunately I don't have the land to build the shelter but I still think it's an awesome giveaway !! Take care and stay safe my friend !!!

👍 Nice info. Why was there a message across the screen saying video was removed?

[earlshaner]

As for the debris shelter the roof should be 2 feet thick for and 5 inches longer then your body

[rooster]

1: resources. What materials do you have.
2: time. How long does it take to build the shelter. How long do you plan on using it. (Hours or days).
No use in building a huge shelter for only one night.
3: location. Close to the resources.
Great video

I'm interested in your bushman course. However, there's a lot required. Should I consider another course?

[finnmacky]

Good information. It really got me thinking, what kind of shelter would you build for a hurricane?🌀 🤔
