There is a detrimental and recurring theme I have noticed in myself as well as some of my friends that study wilderness survival. I am referring to the tendency we have to rush through the learning of any particular skill and unintentionally rob ourselves of valuable learning opportunities. I noticed this error in myself when I was thinking about my experiences building primitive shelters.
Almost every time I have slept in a debris hut, the weather conditions have been mild and
extremely forgiving. Only once in the past have I stayed in a debris hut during the winter, and I
recall it being an uncomfortable and sleepless night.
