If in an arctic climate, try to find some deep snow, dig down into the snow until it is deep enough to lie down in and cover it with twigs from a pine tree. Another way is to dig a deep hole, then cover the hole with snow leaving only a few small holes for air.

Shelter is a neccesity. It keeps heat in and predators, wind, rain and snow out. Shelter is found almost everywhere.

Woodland climates[]

Woodland climates need special consideration. You need what you can get. If you have netting or a parachute, try to make a hammock. If not in possesion of either, try to find a deserted house and sleep in the rafters or the attic. Do not sleep in caves as bears use them as shelter.

Arctic climates[]

If in an arctic climate, try to find some deep snow, dig down into the snow until it is deep enough to lie down in and cover it with twigs from a pine tree. Another way is to dig a deep hole, then cover the hole with snow leaving only a few small holes for air.
