How To

How to build shelters from natural materials for emergencies

Shelter building is an important skill that can be used in times of emergency. There are two types. The temporary shelter is called a tent and the permanent shelter is called a house. Both shelters will require basic tools such saws, hammers (saws), axes and shovels. However they may differ in what type of material is used. Temporary shelters usually consist of leaves, sticks, and grasses. However, permanent shelters may be made out of metal, wood, concrete, bricks, or stone. The right option for you depends on your situation, climate, availability of resources, and other factors.

Natural materials include bamboo, reeds (or palm fronds), bark, grasses and branches, as well as natural materials such a bamboo, reeds, vines and twigs. For centuries, temporary shelters have been made from them. They are light and simple to make, but not durable. They offer protection against insects and extreme weather. Permanent structures have stronger insulation properties and last longer. It takes more effort to make them.

These shelters should not only be practical but also aesthetic and cost-effective. Bamboo is great due to its lightness and strength, but it does require skilled labor and can be quite expensive. The reeds can be very inexpensive but they are not strong enough to withstand heavy winds. Palm fronds are sturdy but can be easily ripped and broken. Bark provides good insulation and fire resistance but is difficult to work with. Grasses are cheap but they do not block rainwater. Vines are flexible and lightweight, but can break if they are too tightly tied. The branches are strong and can rot but are durable. Stone is hard and resistant to water damage but is heavy and costly. Concrete is durable, but it can be hard to transport and put in. Brick is sturdy, but it requires large spaces and is heavy. Wood is long-lasting but requires maintenance. Metal requires expensive power tools.

The choice of material depends on many factors, including the location of the construction site, budget, skill level, available tools, local regulations, and climatic conditions. For example, bamboo is popular in tropical countries where it grows naturally. It's easy to grow and doesn't need special tools. It is not strong enough to withstand wind and can become weak when wet. It can be strong and durable, but requires a lot if you want to erect it. While palms are durable and can withstand any weather, they get quite dirty very quickly. The bark can be cut easily and is lightweight so it is affordable. It keeps out dust and moisture but is brittle and easily damaged. Stones are strong and durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions. Concrete is versatile and long-lasting, but it requires power tools. Metal is strong and requires many power tools. Wood is long-lasting and inexpensive. Steel lasts even longer but is expensive.
