3 Easy Steps to Build Your Shelter!

Step 1: "Pick Your Spot Wisely"

The 5 W's of Site Selection: Shelters should be located near source of WOOD and WATER. Avoid areas with WIDOW MAKERS (potentially hazardous trees), WIND, and WIGGLERS (snakes and other insects)

Step 2: "Set It Up Like a Pro"

Secure your tarp to the anchor points using rope or paracord. Angle it slightly downward for drainage, and weigh down the edges with rocks or stakes.

Step 3: "Enjoy the Rest of Your Day"

Relax under your sturdy shelter, sip on some coffee (or mead, if you're fancy), and marvel at your bushcrafting genius!
