Survival Hacks 001: Step 4 - Building a Shelter

Step 4: Building a Shelter

When the apocalypse strikes, you'll need a place to hide from the impending doom. Not just any shelter will do; it needs to be a well-structured, well-defensible, well-fortified shelter.

Here's a step-by-step guide to building your own shelter:

1. Find a suitable location: A dry, flat area with minimal risk of flooding and landslides.
2. Cover the floor and walls with a layer of plastic sheeting or tarps.
3. Construct a frame using 2" x 4" lumber or PVC pipes.
4. Add roofing material, such as corrugated metal or asphalt shingles.
5. Seal any gaps or holes with insulation and caulk.
6. Add a door, preferably with a secure locking mechanism.
