Shelter Building Class – $150.00 – 10 to 5
Protecting yourself from the elements is one key to survival, and to enjoying time in the wilderness. During this class, we’ll cover different ways to create shelters, from the most primitive through to more modern approaches.
• A-Frame
• Debris Hut
• Fallen Tree Shelter
• Lean-To
• Tarp Shelter
You’ll learn to build basic, primitive survival structures using only objects you find in the woods. We’ll also cover the tight tarp setup and show you how to securely rig an effective shelter that will weather any storm. Spending time and sleeping in the wilderness can be quite comfortable, even without tons of fancy gear.
You will also identify and gather material for ropemaking, learn the basic cordage technique, get to practice it, and take home your own homemade rope and the skills to make more. With this skill you can build shelters, carry things, make nets, set traps, create simple pulleys, and much more!
