I used the search engine to find debris shelter and not a lot came up.

So hows about letting us see your debris shelter.

I built this one a little bigger as im slightly claustrophobic and like room to maneuver.

What I don't show on the video is that I filled the SB with leaves as a mattress and had a fire near the entrance with a heat reflector,made for a toasty nights sleep.[video=youtube;W3lp-UGalpQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3lp-UGalpQ[/video]

i know you said you wanted it bigger, but i would say its far too tall, all that air to heat! :) also, to be rain proof, youll need at least a metre deep of leaf litter on the outside

heres a few pics of a 4 man shelter i lived in for a week last january, through rain, hail and snow. was toasty and mostly dry :)

the four man took about 6 hours with 4 of us on the go almost non stop (had to get it finished so we could get the fire going, cook, eat and then get some sleep in it.... over the next day we improved by extending the windbreak/reflector and adding leaf litter, it was about 3 days old when we had to resort to remedial works with tarps to keep the rain at bay...... huge amount of leaf litter went on it and still the rain found its way through bits, think mainly it was running down sticky out bits of the frame

the one man aframe took about the same but with just 2 guys on it at any one time but with far less urgency (as we already had our main shelter)
