Wilderness Survival Shelters - Portable Camping Shelters to the Rescue

by Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue

When we think "wilderness survival shelter we tend to think of a cave in the snow, or maybe a pile of logs set up for protection, or perhaps even a home in a cave. There are many ways that you can make a shelter in the wilderness, and it depends of course on what kind of wilderness area you happen to be stranded in... or plan to escape to when disaster hits.

The method of survival shelter also depends on what time of year it is.

Let's just imagine for a moment at what we can prepare AHEAD of time for the purpose of surviving in the wilderness....

What if....

We could build a simple camp on wheels kind of thing??

You know, sort of like a pop up trailer, except rugged enough and STURDY enough to be taken anywhere that your SUV or pickup can take it.

A portable camping shelter is what hunters use when they spend a few weeks in the woods...

It is perfect for the Do It Yourself kind of guy that wants to have a wilderness survival shelter in a bag.... er... on a trailer... =)

Anyone that has ever spent time in a tent in a remote wilderness area knows there are certain downfalls to that.

* Rainy weather....everything gets wet and damp, and soon moldy if you can't figure out a way to dry things.

* Uneven ground... it's okay for a few nights, but it gets pretty old to try to find a spot to sleep where you won't be rolling downhill or ending up in a small hollow in the ground!

* No storage area... all your gear and belongings are piled up against the tent wall, where it gets all wet with condensation...

* Stooping and Ducking...no head space or room to get dressed without stooping in half to do so.

These are all things that are fine and dandy when you are simply on a camping trip for a few days...but when you are thinking a wilderness SURVIVAL shelter, it's not such a great thought to be doing it for weeks on end!

With some simple tools and supplies, you can build what the hunters call a portable camp and be all set for all kinds of weather.

There is actually a simple guide that will give you step by step instruction on how to build simple and yet sturdy portable camps, and we have added them to our Emergency-Survival-Skills.com site on the wilderness survival shelters page.
