Shoelaces survival shelter

Lets learn a quick easy way to build a survival shelter from 3 log poles and your shoelaces.This can also be used as tent pole repair, it is a handy skill to know.

Step 1: Pick your sticks

I used one long center pole a little taller than my hand streched over my head.This makes the shelter long enough to cover you.The 2 side poles are about my height to the top of my head.I have shown laces but rope or paracord works too.
Lay the poles so the long one is in the middle and all ends are as shown.

This is the same way that a Tipi is constructed. You tie three thick poles together in a similar fashion. Then place about 6-8 more poles around it, depending on the size of the tipi.

After your poles are in place, you will attach the outer canvas shell. It is tied firmly to one pole and pulled around to the other side and then kept together with wooden toggles. Finally, the poles are adjusted to ensure a snug fit.
