shelter building
Place offering protection
Shelter building is the skill or activity of constructing temporary protective structures, typically in wilderness or survival situations.
The term covers everything from improvised lean-tos and debris huts to more elaborate constructions using natural materials: We practiced shelter building before the backpacking trip.
It's a core component of survival training and outdoor education.
