Shelter & Sleeping

A hammock is a great idea to keep yourself off the cold/wet ground, and with a tarpaulin stretched over the top of you makes a great basic shelter to keep you out of the elements. With some paracord and some carefully selected trees this is a quick, simple way of building a basic shelter.
Don't leave it to chance. You may not have the time to gather enough dry material to build an adequate shelter before nightfall or adverse weather.
