FM 21-76 US ARMY SURVIVAL MANUAL Reprinted as permitted by U.S. Department of the Army Snow Trench Shelter The idea behind this shelter (Figure 15-4) is to get you below the snow and wind level and use the snow's insulating qualities. If you are in an area of compacted snow, cut snow blocks and use them as overhead cover. If not, you can use a poncho or other material. Build only one entrance and use a snow block or rucksack as a door. Snow Block and Parachute Shelter Use snow blocks for the sides and parachute material for overhead cover (Figure 15-4). If snowfall is heavy, you will have to clear snow from the top at regular intervals to prevent the collapse of the parachute material. Page 154 of 233
FM 21-76 US ARMY SURVIVAL MANUAL Reprinted as permitted by U.S. Department of the Army Snow House or Igloo In certain areas, the natives frequently use this type of shelter (Figure 15-4) as hunting and fishing shelters. They are efficient shelters but require some practice to make them properly. Also, you must be in an area that is suitable for cutting snow blocks and have the equipment to cut them (snow saw or knife). Lean-To Shelter Construct this shelter in the same manner as for other environments; however, pile snow around the sides for insulation (Figure 15-5). Fallen Tree Shelter To build this shelter, find a fallen tree and dig out the snow underneath it (Figure 15-6). The snow will not be deep under the tree. If you must remove branches from the inside, use them to line the floor. Tree-Pit Shelter Page 155 of 233
