A Rugged and Heated ShelterHELP SUPPORT THIS SITE -This is a shelter that is a bit more work tobuild, but can be done without too much trouble if the right terrain featuresare present.
It is scalable, meaning that,in a pinch, you can build one just big enough for yourself, and you can alsobuild it big enough to shelter a small family, depending on how much work youwant to do.Step one is to find the right terrainfeature. You are looking for a hiltop or a small ridge, and in conditions whereit is not very hard to dig (ground is not tough or frozen). I mention hillTOP orridge in that your fireplace depends on being able to dig through to the otherside. Read on, and you will understand.Step One: Find a slight rise or ridgeto use.
I have made the following pictures to show a cutaway view of the moundor ridge.Step Two: Dig away the hillside togive you an area big enough to move around in. You should end up with a flatarea large enough for you (and others, if necessary) to sleep in.Step Three: You will now cover thisdug out area with logs/saplings, etc. Patch large gaps with sticks, other poles,etc. You may now optionally dig out the fire pit as shown.
The reason that thisshelter is based off of the specific terrain feature is that your chimney needsto vent out the back as shown below. There are other ways to vent as well. Useyour common sense based on the terrain you choose.Step Four: Make the door as a smalldugout area at the edge of the logs at the fire end of the shelter (this isbecause as the fire consumes air, it will draw it from outside without drawingcold air across the sleeping area).
You are now ready to cover the poles with aheavy coating of leaves, and finally with soil. See the next couple pictures.Shown below with leaf covering, ready for soilor branches to hold it in place. Although I have shown only a few inches ofleaves covering the roof, you are actually better off with a foot or two fordecent waterproofing.
I'm afraid that my 3D rendering software gets a littlebogged down with hundreds of objects. The few hundred leaves I 3D rendered herewere already quite taxing on my system, and I dared not keep adding layers!A non-cutaway view showing the outside of the shelter, thedoorway, and soil covering (I have left the edges of the leaves showing to helpdelineate where the shelter lies.PRESTO. You've got a decent shelter.
A nicecrackling fire will keep things cheery and warm.HELP SUPPORT THIS SITE.
