How to build a simple emergency winter survival shelter for use in a solo overnight stay in the field. If you end up getting caught out in bad weather while out in the field and have limited resources this style shelter can be made with no tools, and little skill. Just build it small and use as much material as you have energy to gather, the more you get the warmer you will be.
The Arid Scablands can be a tricky place to be when the weather gets bad. Cold winds, low temperatures and steep cliffs and ledges can become hard to navigate at night. In other areas that have an abundance of resources building a shelter can be pretty simple, and there are many videos of building bamboo huts, stick lean-to's shelters, fern and bark huts. We have to be a little creative out here having almost none of those building materials, even firewood is scarce.
This is a list of the clothing and equipment I had while filming this video series.

I had a vehicle breakdown in North Dakota one winter. I knew I would freeze to death in my car because it would not run to give me heat. I saw a Barn 1/4 Mile away and went to it. Inside were MANY Bales of Hay. I made a shelter out of that, and during the night, it actually became hot in there. The next morning the farmer who owned the barn found me because he had seen his Hay had been moved. I told him my situation, and he and his wife got me a tow and fed me Breakfast.

@@doves9204 The desert where is live is in high altitude. It can reach 112 degrees Fahrenheit during a summer day and drop to 61 degrees F at night. However, in the winter months, it can reach the mid 80's during the day and drop to - 28 degrees F at night. The reason is that sand doesn't hold heat well. It's all about the sun. In fact, there can be a 20 degree temperature difference between standing in the sun and standing in the shade on any given day.

Learned this lesson in FT Drum. If you are lying prone for a while in the snow, you are going to be wet cold and miserable, at best. Dig under the snow and find the long grass and if you get enough of it you will have a warm bed. I found a knocked over tree and gathered some sticks, whatever I could find and eventually added more snow to the top and sealed in all the holes. It ended up being warmer in my burrow then it was in the warming tent. Great video!

It's truly amazing how much body heat something like dried-up grass can help a person or animal retain in cold winter weather. I remember back in the winter of 1982 when eastern Missouri got hit with a blizzard that dropped 3 feet of snow over a time span of 18 to 24 hours with high winds that made snow drifts up against buildings that were 5 to 6 feet tall, we had a dog that loved being outside even in the cold of winter. Anyway she was stuck out in the blizzard b/c my hold family was stuck away from home when the blizzard hit but my dad had packed her dog house full of dried hay and she built a little dog-sized hole in the hay and when our next-door neighbor dug her now buried in snow dog house out of the snow the next day he said there was steam coming out of the hole and when she popped her little dog head out so Ron could pet her she was toasty warm to the touch as if she had been setting next to a fireplace.

I've used similar for multiple night 'meditations' away from everything. They can be very warm and comfy and even better with a few additions. In my case, I lightweight tarp over the top, with more insulation on it which helped reduce condensation even further than the natural airflow. I also use a 3/4 length foam mat. Basically this is cut to be from my shoulder to mid thigh and always lives in my rucksack as it also adds extra water resistance there. These and a lightweight summer bag to use as a quilt (it can be part zipped to make a good footbox when your feet are off the mat) which is almost always in my pack, make it quite luxurious. Winter makes the risk of bugs and other critters low but I'd think 2x about using this in the warmer month where potentially dangerous fauna might pose a risk (spiders, ticks, snakes etc)

This is great. Seems like a lifesaver. The other thing I've found that will keep you warm when you're in the elements, is cross or make contact with as many body parts as possible. Crossed legs, arms, ball yourself up and keep as much contact with as many body parts as you can will really help keep you warm and retain as much heat as possible. And if you're with someone, make as much body contact with them as possible. Who cares about personal space in an emergnecy.

When I took a sailing class, we were taught what to do after a "man overboard" situation. (That's what they called it back then.) You've rescued the victim from drowning, but now he's soaking wet and freezing, and at risk of dying from hypothermia. 1--Strip him completely bare and dry him off. 2--Put him into a sleeping bag. 3--Strip *yourself* completely bare and climb in the sleeping bag with him, maximizing skin contact. No time for false modesty or prudishness when it's a matter of life and death.

Great emergency shelter. And this type of shelter can be used with all sorts of other material depending on where your at. You see a ton of people on RU-vid making these big elaborate shelters. And if your prepared that’s all fine and dandy. But if your not this type of shelter could save your life and actually has saved many. The smaller your shelter is the less area to warm up, and the less cold air to get in. Great video. Three 👍’s up!!

Really cool, thanks for sharing. Just knowing how to do things gives you a different relationship to the world and you live in less fear overall. I took Tom Brown Jr's Tracker school Standard Course one September, about a decade ago and we built an emergency shelter. We all got to draw straws and I really wanted to be the one who got to sleep in it, which I was. But once it was dark and everyone was asleep, when I went in there, I was actually too hot and felt a little claustrophobic. I kind of kept my head hanging out, but being surrounded by all that vegetation which started to feel steamy freaked me out for some reason. And with my head out, it sounded like there were animals everywhere. Sometime in the night, I walked back over to my tent, which I felt bad about since someone else could have stayed in there all night. But these shelters are surprisingly warm.

I used grasses woven into willows when I got caught in a blizzard on the tundra of the Kuskokwim River. I found a dense growth of willow as the storm increased. I gathered the grass adjacent to the willows and filled in the gaps to make a windbreaker, and I spent 8 hours in there fairly warm. After the storm, I realized I was less than a mile from my community. You didn't mention it's important to make sure your various supplies are within viewing distance of your shelter at all times, and to move quickly but methodically. Time management is essential going into a survival situation.

Of course this was -20C and with no light cause it died from the cold. I did get the fire going though and warmed up. I was shaking so bad I could barely hold my knife still to make some wood curls. Rough night😂

@mulepowerforge

@@patriciafisher3108 I imagine it would, but I don’t have a headlight as finding a good one for a decent price is next to impossible so I just use what I have. And not to make the story sound worse but my phone was dead, I was about a 1km walk from the truck and it was just after midnight. That’s the first and only time the thought of freezing to death crossed my mind. And it wasn’t like a “geez I’m cold” cold, it was a “if my hands seize up and I can’t start this fire I might actually freeze to death” cold. I don’t know why I didn’t wake up sooner but what happened happened.

Excellent Emergency Shelter. . . Or even a overnight rest area, if You've developed leg cramps, or sore ankles while hiking, and deciding to get some rest, before pushing on. Really Appreciate the Posting to RU-vid 👍👍👍 Brought back some Sensory Memories. Also, what's nice in the winter or above the Alpine Level of Mountainous Terrains is the absence of most insects during Winter. I could almost smell the freshly broken Bulrush's, and grasses. It's been awhile since I've gone on a Bivouac, but I can remember the warmth of a properly built Shelter / Naturally Camouflaged Sleeping Chamber. Also being all natural it's easy to remove all traces, or just leave it be, just pack out Your non compostable items and it's possible some animals may put Your Shelter to use themselves, if they can ignore the odor of a Human... Lol

Thanks for the feedback, glad the video was useful. I agree, seems many of the videos are more Bushcraft Fort made for filming aesthetics rather than an actual shelter meant to keep a person alive in a bad situation. I think in a true survival situation the simpler the shelter the better, easy materials and lots of insulation.

I am a webfoot myself. It rains here so much that I rarely go anywhere without some kind of tarp or at least a mylar sheet that will fit in a shirt pocket. If I have to stay out, being wet might kill me even in decent temps. I also carry enough of something to get a fire started if I need to. BC is just a little north of me. I can't imagine not having survival gear in these forests. I always have a decent knife and a small folding saw. I call the PNW the "living land". I can either live with it, or be food for it. I love this place like no other place.
