Lean-To Shelter
For this way of building a shelter, you are going to need to find a tree, a large branch and several smaller branches but still a decent size. you are going to want to lean the big branch against the tree and make sure it is sturdy. Then, you will lean the smaller branches, (also making them sturdy so they don't fall on you) against the bigger branch. And finally you are going to have to cover the entire structure with sticks covering any openings and then foliage and thick leaves so that hardly any, or no water will seep through. In the end it should look something like this.
