In the heart of the winter wilderness, I construct a shelter using natural materials stacked against a sturdy fallen tree. Insulated with layers of bark, pine needles, and moss, the structure traps heat efficiently. At the center, I build a simple clay stove from dirt and debris, safely contained to provide steady warmth without open flames. This bushcraft technique ensures survival comfort while conserving energy. The shelter’s snug design, paired with the radiant heat of the stove, creates a cozy retreat from the cold. Proper ventilation and fire safety remain key in maintaining warmth throughout the night.
