A disaster strikes. You have no home. You are lost in the wilderness. You need shelter but, what do you do? Where do you build it and how?

This book is designed to take you the reader into those very scenario's and to show you exactly what to do when these situations strike and how to build a shelter, tee-pee, lean-to, or even a small cabin for safety, warmth, and shelter from the elements.

In any survival situation your means are very primitive. It is up to you to have the wit and the ability to provide for yourself and the possibility of others. With the help of this book you will learn the basics on how to construct survival shelters.

Survival is something few know how to do or use to their benefit.

This book will give you a better understanding of what it takes to procure material, and build your structure.

With enough creativity and the know how along with the examples given in this book you should be able to construct a basic shelter in no time at all.
