Some shelter considerations that you should always try to follow are location, insulation, and heat source. The first consideration “location” should be made away from hazards and near materials or resources needed. The next consideration “insulation” should be made on a stable, dry ground which can be avoided from any severe weather such as rain or wind. The last consideration “heat source” can be fire heated or even body heated. There are some great natural shelters that can be considered which do not have to be man-made such as caves and hollow stumps or logs. When it comes to determining your priority keep in mind that a human can only survive for three hours without enough warmth, three days without water, and three weeks without food. After determining your priorities based on your situation, you must then attend to those priorities, in order while trying to remain
