Got five minutes, a weather poncho and a reflective emergency blanket?

Then you have the tools to make an emergency shelter. I found this video on YouTube. Two smart guys show us how to make a quick survival shelter to protect ourselves from the elements.

Watch the video and tell us what you might have done differently to improve the survival shelter?

One improvement might be to build on higher ground, not a downslope. If it was raining, water would funnel right down into the shelter.

What would you substitute for leaves if they were not available or the grounds were wet? Chime in! We can all learn from each other.
