Design principles for a lean to debris shelter


A short video going over the main design principles for a lean to debris shelter.

I’ve seen lots of photos and posts online where people tie the ridge pole to trees or even put the ridge pole on the wrong side of the trees, so I thought I’d do a brief video showing how I set up a lean to debris shelter.

We spend time looking at the design principles for a lean to debris shelter on our 2 Day Bushcraft Course5 Day Bushcraft Course, as well as the IOL Bushcraft Competency Certificate course.

You can see photos from all these, and all of our other courses, on our Facebook page.
