In marshy terrain, reeds offer surprising shelter potential. The “Boar’s Bed” mimics wild boars’ nests—dense, insulated, and off the damp ground. Start by harvesting tall, sturdy reeds, bundling them into thick mats. Lay a base layer over a cleared, slightly raised mound to prevent flooding. Weave additional reeds tightly around a simple frame of bent saplings, creating walls and a low, sloped roof to shed rain. Line the interior with dry reed bundles for bedding—hence the name “Boar’s Bed.” This natural insulation traps body heat and elevates you from moisture. Quick to build with abundant materials, the Boar’s Bed provides critical warmth and protection in wetland survival scenarios, turning humble reeds into a lifeline.
