Shelter Project

 My shelter has 3 walls each wall is 3ft tall but it is based on a larger 6ft tall model. The two stone walls that form a perfect 90 degree corner were pre existing and cannot be moved by the elements making only the front wall susceptible to damage. The two stone walls make an excellent wind barrier and can store thermal energy well. The third wall is a tarp which drapes over a stick that was laid across the two stone walls connecting them. The tarp is also laid on top of the two stone walls and secured by rocks placed on top of the tarp. Just like a chain my shelter is only as good as its weakest link so I secured the bottom of the tarp wall to the ground with tent stakes. the last part of my shelter is the cardboard that I placed as a flooring which as a barrier between the person and the frozen ground. there is also an evergreen tree which branches over the shelter and provides further protection from the snow and wind.
