Building a Survival Shelter in the Desert
Building a Survival Shelter in the Desert
In a harsh desert environment, it is important to have a plan for shelter. Building the right kind of shelter can be the difference between life and death, especially in extreme temperatures. While there are many different kinds of shelters that can be built in a desert environment, there are some basic principles that should be followed in order to ensure the safety and comfort of those who are using it. In this article, we will discuss some tips for building a shelter in the desert.
First, you need to consider your location when building a shelter in the desert.
When looking for a spot to build your shelter, try to find an area that is protected from wind and sand storms. This can be done by finding areas with natural barriers like trees or rocks that will provide protection from wind and sand storms. If you cannot find any natural barriers then you will need to construct something out of materials such as tarps or blankets to create an artificial barrier against wind and sand storms.
Second, make sure your shelter has enough height and width
so that it provides maximum protection against strong winds and sandstorms. A good rule of thumb is to make sure your shelter has at least two feet of clearance on all sides so that wind can easily move around it without creating too much force inside the structure. For added protection from strong winds, you should also consider constructing an additional wall or roof using materials such as blankets or tarps for extra protection against wind-driven sandstorms and other debris flying around during extreme weather conditions.

Thirdly, choose materials carefully when constructing your desert survival shelter.
It is important to use materials that will provide insulation against extreme temperatures as well as protect people inside from direct sunlight exposure which could cause sunburns or heat exhaustion if exposed too long without proper protection. Materials such as foam boards, burlap sacks filled with straw or rags soaked in water will work great at providing insulation from both heat and cold weather conditions found in deserts while still allowing airflow through them so people inside don’t overheat due to lack of ventilation within their structure.
Fourthly, make sure you have proper drainage
installed within your structure so rainwater does not accumulate on top of it which could lead to flooding within the interior space if left unchecked for long periods of time; this could also help reduce condensation buildup which would otherwise form on walls due to temperature fluctuations throughout the day/night cycle found in deserts leading towards potential mold growth if not dealt with properly by having good ventilation setup within its walls/ceilings as well as having some kind of drainage system installed outside its walls near its base level so moisture gets expelled away quickly instead of accumulating inside its walls leading towards potential health problems associated with mold growth among inhabitants staying inside said structure due to prolonged exposure over extended periods time without proper maintenance measures taken into account by those living within said structure throughout their stay there (ie: setting up fans/dehumidifiers during days where temperature drops significantly at night so moisture doesn’t accumulate on surfaces).
Finally, plan ahead before building your desert shelter! Make sure you have all necessary supplies gathered ahead of time such as tools (hammer/nails), rope/twine for tying down tarps/blankets together securely; stakes for anchoring down tents if needed; etc. The last thing you want is to get stuck in a situation where you need something but don’t have access because there wasn’t enough preparation put into place beforehand; this could potentially lead to serious health concerns among those living within said structure due improper protection measures taken into account beforehand (ie: insufficient supplies available at hand).
Building a successful desert shelter requires careful planning ahead before beginning construction since failure here can mean the difference between life & death, especially during harsh times out there; however, following these tips should help anyone construct an effective & safe “desert home” which they can call their own during their stay out there while protecting themselves + others around them from potential harm associated with extreme weather conditions found outside said structures during these times throughout their stay out there until they leave back home safely afterward!
