Cheap Survival Shelter
« on: January 03, 2015, 10:35:09 PM »
Hello all,

Check out this for a cheap light weight shelterwww.elkinsdiy.com/stationary-shelters/homeless-emergency-shelter/


Also the material of construction, coroplast, looks like a good cheap material.

I wonder how bad it would sweat in humidity.
Experience is the hardest kind of teacher, it gives the test 1st and the lesson after.

Courage is knowing it may hurt and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same.
This is why life is so hard.

I was thinking about building an A frame with a roof vent. That would improve ventilation. But the builders goal was to build a flat kit that could be assembled with minimum number of tools.

2 man tents military issue are great and easy to assemble if you can get your hands on one for a decent price. Never had a problem in the field in one when we were afforded the opportunity to have one.
