so how did you get involved with all the survival techniques? i've been into wild animal plants and stuff all my life, i just find it very interesting subject. i lived back in america, if you knew a dozen plants, basically in my home state, you had it sorted. here i've got a dozen plants in my yard. with sunset fast approaching, i had to sort out where i was going to sleep for the night. why is it so important to build a shelter? at certain times of year is a little bit cold, the ground is cold, it only has to be a few degrees colder than your body temperature to literally suck the life out of you, but you are also getting off the ground to get the creepy crawlies, the things that are going to annoy you and keep you from sleeping. go around as many times as you can, make it as tight as you can. 0k, we've got the foundation going. check this out.
