They're simple enough to make, especially in a woodland. It's amazing what you can put together in a couple of hours.
yes,thats ok for a day, a weekend, maybe even a week but post SHTF you will be doing it for the forseeable future, you need something more substantial around you, preferably bricks and mortar, people will soon get very cold and very ill if they cant.

People lived in wooden huts for centuries. We don't die that easily. Common sense is all thats required.

Common sense is all thats required.yes, they were called round houses, and people lived in them for centuries. i see a "shelter" as something temporary, for a short time, not something you live in for the next 30 or 40 years.

Im not prepped, ok I could make my food stores last about 2months, but on the flip side thats a hell of a lot longer than 99% of the population, but the knowledge is going to be key to survival.

heck, 2 months is better than 1 week, or in some cases about 3 days, which is about what the sheeple keep in their houses.
