Shelter

  


The Rule of 3 says:

You can die in:

  1. 3 seconds without security;
  2. 3 minutes without air;
  3. 3 hours without shelter (in hostile weather);
  4. 3 days without water &
  5. 3 weeks without food.

So let's talk about shelter.  Shelter protects you from the weather, the sun, wind, rain, snow, heat, cold, and more.

Shelter might be something as simple as an emergency blanket, sleeping bag, bivy sack, a rain coat, a hat, or even sun tan lotion.  While these help keep you comfortable, they don't protect you from the kind of things that will kill you in 3 hours.... extreme weather... mainly extreme Temperature.  

Warm clothing, fire, a debris shelter, blanket, an Ice Igloo, or Snow Cave help protect you from the cold.  Shade, a hat, sun tan lotion, proper clothing, and water protect you from the heat.

 The key is to think about the risk you might face, and what provisions would be prudent, and be sure you have them available when needed.

Winter Freeze Preparations

When snowed or iced in, your top two priorities, in order, are Warmth (shelter) and Water.


Warmth, our top priority, can be in many forms.

  1. Natural Gas or Propane stove, or heater that doesn't require electricity
  2. Butane heater / stove
  3. Fire Place (Wood)
  4. BBQ Grille (Propane)
  5. Battery Backup system

 

While electric heating can work, it may not be available in a power outage, without an electric generator

Water is your second priority and Ice or Snow can be a source of water if you have ample warmth to melt it.  But ideally you have water bottles of some sort that you use regularly and rotate to keep it fresh.  Below are some ideas to consider.





Great for heating AND cooking

Other things include wrapping your water pipes, leave cabinets under sinks open to stay warm, and faucets dripping. 

Collect Water now and store it in clean food safe containers for drinking and flushing toilets.

Charge your cell phone and any Rechargeable Batteries that you have.

Wash your clothes, dishes and shower.

Know where the household water shut off valve is and how to turn it off.

Have an alternate cooking method as well as ready made easy to prepare foods with paper plates, plastic cups and cutlery. 

Have a manual can opener.

Fill up your gas tanks on your cars and electric generators. You can stay warm in these and charge your phone and other devices.

 Have an alternate light source.

Dress warm and keep your winter clothes handy in the event of a urgent evacuation is needed.

Have extra blankets available.  

Check pet food / water levels & housing conditions.

Check on your neighbors.  You never know who may need help.
