One of the most basic of wilderness living and survival skills, the building of a shelter takes on many forms. In this presentation noted primitive skills instructors John & Geri McPherson illustrate the making of not just quickie overnight survival shelters but what has been in the past real houses for our ancestors. Here you will watch as they describe just what a shelter is, what for it's purpose and why. Four shelters are built - each from natural materials commonly found throughout the world; sticks, grasses, rocks, sod - and more. Location is discussed, frameworks built and walls and roofs constructed. All protect you from the rain and allow interior fires. Every stage is shown and explained in detail. John & Geri have an ongoing program teaching instructors of the U.S. Military Special Operations SERE school and this is one of the subjects covered by them.
