Natural shelter in the wild is a potential life saver. If you do not have a tent or bivouac with you, knowing how to make a lean-to shelter is one of the most important bush craft survival skills. So watch VideoJug's guide to building a shelter in a forest.
野外天然庇護所,關鍵時候可以用來保命。如果沒有帳篷和宿營地,建立容身處的知識就是叢林生存的關鍵?,F在我們來學習如何在森林中建立一個容身之所。
Step 1: You will need
1.所需材料
•An uprooted tree
1棵連根拔起的大樹
•Some sturdy branches
一些粗的樹枝
•Plenty of leaves and debris from the forest floor
大量的枯枝敗葉。
Step 2: Preparation
2.準備
Make sure you choose the right spot to make camp. If you are stuck outside after nightfall and it is too dangerous to carry on. You must work with the environment you find yourself in, but if you have a choice then there are a number of things to consider.
選對地點再繼續,而且夜幕降臨之后很難完成,所以要提早進行選址。要先選擇一個合適的地點,另外,選址結束后還有很多別的事情要考慮。
Where are you? If you are on high exposed ground, head to lower more sheltered ground. If you are in a valley, then head to higher ground. Hot air rises, so the lower ground will tend to be colder and damp.
你的地點應該選在哪兒呢?平地環境中要選擇低一些的、更容易隱蔽的地方,不要選擇高地,那樣極其容易暴露自己;而如果是在山谷中,就要反其道而行之,因為受太陽照射影響,低處一般比較濕冷。
Are there any natural resources? Ideally you would like to be near a water source, and a good source of fuel for your fire. Are there animal trails nearby? You don't want bear or any other animals wandering through your camp at night.
還有別的可利用的資源嗎?理想狀態下,避身處應該接近水源,同時還要有生火的燃料。附近有沒有野獸出沒的跡象?你一定不愿意看到熊或者別的野獸在你的藏身處附近轉來轉去的。
Also spend a minute checking the area above where you intend to camp, are there any bees nests or dead branches in the trees? These may crash down on top of you in if the wind picks up.
同樣要花些時間大致查看一番營地周圍的環境,看看樹上有沒有馬蜂窩或是枯死的樹枝,這些東西受風影響也許會砸在你頭上。
Always try to camp at the edge of a forest, rather than in the middle of it, so that you can see what is going on around you.
永遠選擇在森林邊緣宿營,而不要選擇在森林中央。在森林邊緣地帶更容易看清周邊發生的一切。
Step 3: Location
3.地點
You will need to find the right structure to lean your branches against, an uprooted tree is perfect, especially if it has a hollow where the roots once were as this will give you more space inside. Be sure that it is dry as sometimes these hollows fill with water.
你需要找到合適的構架進行搭建,連根拔起的大樹最適合,當然如果樹根部分中空一塊,那就更好了,這意味著你有更大的空間。只不過需要確定這個樹根中空部分是干的,因為里面可能含有水。
Step 4: Construction
4.構建
Now you have the main structure you will need the branches to create the rest of your shelter. Light fades very quickly in wooded areas, so it is essential the construction is done quickly and efficiently.
有了構架之后,你就需要用樹枝搭建剩余的部分了?;鹑紵暮芸欤砸诨鹣缰巴瓿?,速度和效果都要有保證。
The shelter can be made from fallen branches and debris. Once you have collected your wood, start by leaning it against the structure, each piece should be firmly pushed into the ground, at a 45 degree angle. This allows the rain to run off effectively. Use the stronger, thicker branches first, as these will form the main support for your structure, then fill in with the thinner pieces.
這個避身所可以用掉落的樹枝和落葉組成,收集完木材之后,每一根樹枝都要牢牢地插進土里,呈45度角搭在構架上,這樣如果下雨,雨水會流的很快。優先選擇那些細而結實的樹枝作為主要的支撐體,然后用更細的樹枝填充。
Leaving just one end open for your entrance gives you further protection from the elements and will insulate you better. With the structure finished add handfuls of leaves to create an insulating roof. You will need a lot of leaves and debris, because as a general rule you want a 30 cm layer of leaves, to have any hope of retaining warmth.
避身處只留一個出口,這樣能更好地保護自己。最后把樹葉鋪在這個構架上,形成一個“屋頂”,工作就算完成了。你需要很多的樹葉,因為通常30厘米厚的樹葉層才能起到保暖的效果。
