Build A Shelter!

The two types of shelters we chose were:

1.Simple Tarp Shelter

2.Dug out shelter

We chose the simple tarp shelter
because when hiking tarp is very light and
won’t hold you back to much.
We also chose it because you can feel close to
nature when you are in it. 

We chose the dug out shelter because
all you need is just a knife to cut the branches
into the right side and a shovel to use the dirt for
it and it will be nice and damp on hot days.

We think that simple tarp shelter would
be good for a tent because it is light to carry and would
be easy to travel with. 

We think that dug out shelter would be good
for a tent because all you need is two things
which is a shovel and a knife

Pros for the simple tarp shelter are that
you can connect with nature when sleeping.
Also tarp is hard to damage so you can get multiple uses out of it. 

Pros for the dug out shelter are that you need
only need two things for it which is a knife and a shovel

Cons for the simple tarp shelter are it’s only tarp
so it might get cold when you are sleeping.
Also it’s plastic so it’s bad for the environment. 

Cons for the dugout shelter is that you need to dig for dirt.

Our favourite part about simple tarp
shelter is that it’s hard to break and can be used multiple times.

Our favourite part about dug out shelter is it
camouflages with the ground. 

Our least favourite part about simple tarp shelter
is that tarp is made out of a plastic material

which is bad for the environment and can pollute
the oceans in you leave it there. But we can stop
this by not leaving your tarp there and picking
it up and using it multiple times. 

Our least favourite part about dug out shelter is
that it’s made and covered in dirt. 

One thing we would add to the simple tarp shelter
is the heat storage. We would make the shelter warmer.
We would do this by adding padding and installation to tarp.
If you do this then tarp might not be as waterproof. 

One thing we would add to the dug out shelter is hygiene. 

One thing we would get rid of in the simple
tarp shelter is the amount of plastic in the material.  

One thing we would get rid of in the dug out
shelter is the dirt around it because it would stink.

Where would you build simple tarp shelter is
in a forest where there is lots of trees.

Where would you build dug out shelter is in a
forest where the dirt will camouflage 

Things you need to make the simple tarp shelter
are tarp, rope and rocks/stones/nails to hold the tarp down and poles. 

Things you need to make dug out shelter is dirt, rope,
branches and leaves.  

Things you need to think about before making a
simple tarp shelter is if you have all the things to make it. 

Things you need to think about before making a
dug out shelter is if you have enough materials to make it.
