Shelter Building Blog Post

1. Shelters are use to protect people from things like harsh elements and animals
from the wild that will hurt you. Some animals that might hurt you are wolves, any
big cats, maybe foxes, some insects can hurt you and lots of other things. Some
shelters are used to fight the cold and others are used to protect you from the heat.
When trying to survive in a jungle area a shelter can be used to lift a person off the
ground providing a dry sleeping area.

2. If you build your shelter by running water like a lake or a river it is easier to get
water to drink. I would call this a pro but you don't want to make it to close to a river or a lake
or the water could wash you away. I think the water washing you away would be a con. some more
pros are that shelters are easy and quick to build and it can be water proof if built correctly.
Some more cons are it might take a lot of tools require to be built right and shelters are normally not
very big so it might only have a naff shelter for one person.

3. You should try to avoid building your shelter on the top of a hill because you might
get cold wind all the time and cold air at night time. But if you do build your shelter on a hill
people might be able to see you and help you. I think a good place to build a shelter is on flat ground
so you don't have that much of a cold wind coming through at night time and in the day time. never build your shelter on the dump ground.

4. Materials to build you shelter might be wood, leaves, rope, sticks and lot's of other things. to build a shelter you have to have things to be able to make it. So I think it's what ever you can find to make it or what ever you have on you to make it.
