SHELTER MODULE

The "Big 3" of Survival is Food, Water and Shelter. One can live 3 days without water and 3 weeks without
food. But in an emergency situation you must first have a good shelter in place to protect you from the elements
like weather and insects. In an urban environment, there are more man-made structures that you can leverage for
shelter such as buildings, overpasses, doorways and walls. However, it is still generally accepted that you will want
to shelter outside of an urban environment as much as possible during a true survival situation to avoid crowds of
people.

Shelter items generally consist of one of the three


categories:

1. What you sleep UNDER: Tent, Tarp


2. What you sleep IN: Sleeping Bag, Bivvy, Blanket
3. What you sleep ON: Sleeping Pad, Pillow

The following items make up the supplies included in


the Shelter Module for my Urban Bug Out Bag (version
3.0). The intent is to keep weight light and storage space
as small as possible, while still offering adequate
capabilities for shelter warmth and quick deployment.
