Hi guys,
I had a go at making a 'survival shelter' on Saturday with the last 4 hours of daylight. Here's the result (photos taken next morning):
I ran out of time to make a heat reflector and finish the bed before dark.
Any tips/suggestions for how to improve it?
I was easily warm enough with the fire going with no sleeping bag or blanket, but couldn't sleep as the 'bed' was too uncomfortable and too many drips landing on me ( it was built in the rain so the thatch was soaking), but would have been alright in a 'survival situation' for the night. What could be used to make a bed when it's actually raining? All the leaves and stuff in the wood was soaked so would have been no good..
Cheers
