How to build a parachute shelter
How to build a parachute shelter.
You will need:
sticks
vines
parachute canopy
How to build the shelter:
1:Find a flat area that is about 10 feet by 10 feet.
2:Find 3 polls about 8 feet long.
3:Stand up the polls in a tripod shape and tie them together.
4:Find a few more long sticks and lean them up against the tripod.
5:Lay the parachute over the tripod then find the bridle loop and place it over the top of a free-standing poll.
6:Wrap the parachute around the tripod leaving room for the door.
6:Leave a space a foot large at the top of the shelter for ventilation if you want to have a fire inside.
It is important for the boys to know how to build a shelter because there are no houses on the island. Building a shelter out of a parachute would be wise because there is a parachute already on the island. Parachutes are very durable to it would be the perfect material to build a shelter out of to stay safe from all of the elements. There are many other ways the boys could build a shelter such as using debris to make a hut but I think that this is the best way.
