You are exploring the cold mountainous forest of Alaska. You need to create a home shelter that can help you survive the upcoming snow storm a few days from now. What materials and features would your winter cabin have? The temperature can be below freezing level and you need to maintain a warm temperature to survive.​

This two-sided structure needs one long, sturdy pole (thick branch), at around 9 to 12 feet long. Prop it up in the fork of a tree, or between two forked propped sticks. Cover the sides of the pole with smaller sticks and branches to create the “ribs”. Place them close together to avoid the shelter collapsing. If it is a Cabin you can use oak wood, and plaster to keep it warmer.
Hope this helps!
