What if you don't have something to lean against? Here's a good dubree hut using the lean-to design while making your own wall to lean against.
Step 1 - Find a good spot with plenty of material and them take a rock and pound in some stakes to hold the logs.
Step 2 - Lay thick branches or lean them up against the wall you made between the stakes.
Step 3 - Cover the logs with pine bows to make water tight.
Here's a look at the back of the wall.

Step 4 - Lay down some bedding like pine bows and climb in for a good night. Remember to cover the opening with your pack or pine bows.
If you do leave the doorway open, a reflection fire would go nice with this one, we'll talk about those in a later post.
Note: Remember to take a look at the posts on "wilderness survival shelter criteria" and "3 components of a dubree hut" to see all the steps and check if this student followed them.
See you on the trail,
