    Introduction

    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. In this day and age many people are used to going to the store for everything they need and have no idea how to do many of the things our not so distant relatives once knew how to do. Many of the basic survival techniques including building of shelters has all but been forgotten. It is the hope of the author that if a situation strikes and you need shelter of any kind. This book will give you a better understanding of what it takes to procure material, and build your structure.

    Not all situations are the same. Far from it and, not every location offers the same building material. Ultimately it is up to you to find a way and the materials to build any 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.
