Surviving in the Wild:
Snow Shelters
Treacherous Tundra
There are few environments that can test your survival skills as severely as a windswept tundra. Exposure to extreme cold can cause hypothermia, a medical condition caused when your body loses heat faster than it can produce it (when your core temperature drops below 35˚C). Finding shelter in these treacherous conditions can be the difference between life and death. Read on for guidance on a variety of different shelters that could just save your life.
Tree Base Snow Shelter
After heavy snowfall, a simple shelter can be made using the lowest hanging branches of a conifer tree. Clearing a bowl-shaped hole around the base of the tree will provide protection from high winds and predators whilst the tree will offer sufficient protection from further snowfall. This method might be especially helpful if you have no access to equipment.
Snow Trenches and Tunnels
These are perfect when there is deep snow. Not only are they simple to make, but they are also highly effective at protecting intrepid adventurers from the elements.
Step 1: Mark out your trench shape (remember that your trench needs to be deep enough for you to move around comfortably) and carefully start digging. When you are satisfied with the depth, consider carving steps, benches and even beds with a shovel, or a spade.
Step 2: Lay strong lengths of wood across the trench (each end should be at least 30cm beyond the trench edge) then fill any gaps with smaller branches.
Step 3: Cover the branches with thick foliage such as fir boughs.
Step 4: Add a final covering of snow on top, then mark out the boundary of your trench shelter using sticks (to maximise safety).
Quinzhee
A cross between a snow hole and an igloo, yet easier than both to make! This shelter requires two or more people to build and will take approximately half a day to complete.
Step 1: Mark a circle in the snow large enough to fit two people lying down then pile up a mound of snow inside the designated area approximately 1.8m high.
Step 2: Shape the mound by packing the snow down, then leave for an hour or two to harden. Meanwhile, collect a number of thin sticks (aim for around 45cm length) and push them into the mound by 30cm.
Step 3: Start digging out the entrance of the shelter and widen the gap with a shovel. Whilst one person digs further inside the structure, the other should remove the extracted snow and use it to strengthen the exterior surface.
Step 4: Inside, carefully excavate the ceiling snow using a small shovel or your gloved hands until you make contact with the sticks.
Step 5: Once the inside is complete, gently remove the sticks and create a breathing hole in the top.
