Why?​
​
--‘Quick’ and ‘easy’ (takes less than two
hours)
--Replaces (when well done) the need for a
tent, a sleeping bag, or a fire
--In temperate zones, it retains your own body
heat above ambient-lower-temps
--It camouflages a human body in natural
surroundings, in an aesthetically pleasing
manner
--No need for tools
--Its construction provides the rudimentary
skills to tackle bigger and longer lasting
shelters
--Minimal disturbance of forest or natural
environment
--Other animals can use it for dens and
protection
