Answer 1

Camp in an area of timber, if possible, to be near fuel. If you cannot find timber, choose a spot protected from wind and drifting snow. Do not camp at the bases of steep slopes or cliffs where snow may drift heavily or come down in avalanches or in areas where you run the risk of floods, rockfalls, or being battered by winds.

In timbered country, a good winter shelter is a lean-to. Lay the covering boughs shingle fashion, starting from the bottom. If you have a piece of parachute nylon, use it for the roof. Close the ends with fabric or boughs.

Keep the front openings of all shelters crosswind. A windbreak of snow or ice blocks set close to the shelter is helpful.

In making shelters, remember that snow is a good insulator. In timberless country, make a simple snow cave or burrow by digging into the side of a snowdrift and lining the hole with grass or brush. Snow caves must be ventilated. If the snow is not deep enough to support a roof, dig a trench in a drift and roof it with snow blocks or other materials.

In wooded country, make a tree-pit shelter if snow is deep enough. Enlarge the natural pit around a tree trunk and roof it with any available covering.

Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning by providing good ventilation in closed shelters in which a fire is burning.

Do not sleep directly on the snow. Put insulation under your sleeping bag or body. Lay a thick bough bed shingle fashion; or use seat cushions, a parachute canopy, or even an inverted and inflated life raft if available.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted.
