My survival shelter design

Since the last blog post, this is all about my survival shelter design

 

The ropes

The  ropes are used to pull the shelter, even though it might be heavy, it still counts as being portable.

The food

Food for Mount Everest is packed in grey aluminium sachets, consisting of lean meat , such as chicken or beef, rice, water and a small bar of chocolate or a brownie. In this version, the food is chocolate chip oatmeal muffins.

The sleeping bags

Have you ever been to camping and slept in portable sleeping bags? On Everest, climbers bring their sleeping bags to the campsites along the way. In this shelter, the sleeping bags come in the shelter.

The fire
Most people light fires to cook food and to stay warm. On Everest, there is no sticks except for small twigs. The shelter comes with stacks of firewood to light fire. It also comes with a lighter to light the fire.

The walls

You can’t just sleep outside in the cold, you need something to cover you from the snow. The walls of the shelter are made from strong stone from the mines underground. It also doesn’t collapse into crevices , icefalls, gaps or ravines.

The pet

Have you ever needed a friend to come with you? The pet can be anything from cats or dogs to budgies or fish. In this design, the pet is a goose and you can choose to not bring a friend.

The oxygen tank and fire extinguisher

The oxygen tank is an important essential for climbing any mountain. The oxygen tank is in the shelter and you can take it with you. If you are sleeping and the fire spreads, you need a tool to put it out. The fire extinguisher is in the shelter to use if you accidentally forget to put out the fire before sleeping.
